It's probably just referring to Sakurai's biweekly Famitsu column, rather than his involvement in the games industry as a whole, though we'll need to wait for a full translation.

Splitting this post into two.

So woke up and went to the library and spent the morning creating a timeline for my story. Halfway done already and had a damn good coffee with it.

Then saw the idiot shopkeeper and he be like "everyone is South America is controlled by a drug cartel." I called him racist and a idiot. Think ever since the death of my dog, I've became a bit more outspoken as I've realised.

Well Ladies and Gentlemen.

I think Pokemon Legends Arceus might have one of the best boxart on the system:

Welp probably fake E3 leak videos are popping up in my Youtube recommended now.

Can't wait to see people buy into them, get their hopes unrealistically high and then get angry at game companies when E3 doesn't meet their extreme expectations.

So far, we only know that he's going to stop writing his column.

I hate how misleading that click-bait "journalism" site's title. Now watch people complain about Sakurai being a liar if he doesn't announce his retirement plans.

I don't know why news people would make clickbait articles aside from getting views. Either way, getting views by telling a lie instead of the truth is not worth it.

Well, the point is to get views. More clicks equates to more money. For them, it's absolutely worth it.

Some people need to learn that getting views by lying and not being honest is not really the way to go, nor is it worth it.

Yo when did they release the boxart? That still looks amazing though.

There are plenty of news sites that use sources and don't lie through their teeth, Nintendo Life is just one of the bad ones.

I... don't think I like it releasing that early. The trailer looked really bad in some spots, I don't know if it would be ready in January.

Lemme reiterate. The news sites that are currently lying through their teeth probably don't have much of a reason to stop. There's definitely some good news sites, I agree.

Haven't commented here in a while (life has been busy), but I just saw the box art for Pokemon Brilliant Diamond / Shining Pearl:

Yep, this is honestly my favorite boxart of any main series Pokemon game so far. Dialga and Palkia's models on it look so detailed and epic!

Did not know they also showcased the box art for Pokemon Legends: Arceus until I came across this thread, but I am liking that one too. It captures that old-Japan look the game is going for.

November 19th release date for BDSP is pretty much what I expected, but Legends releasing in January is a surprise. I was expecting more of a February/March release when they said it would release in early 2022.

Those look nice, but I doubt we'll get Kyogre/Groudon esque forms now like in ORAS, otherwise they'd most likely be on the boxart.


Unless they're really secret, but I doubt it.

Considering the trailer footage was a couple months behind what the actual progress of the game was, I'm still pretty optimistic this will probably turn out pretty well. Hopefully, anyway. Would be a shame if it flounders, Legends is the fartherest away from home they've taken the franchise in years and it would be a shame if they squander the potential.

Just wondering: Is IGN a good or bad site in terms of news?

Considering how everything is in your face it is and they've became like "here's the Wendy's Thoughts for E3 brought to you by Wendy's!" I would say yes a bit.

I just keep to Gematsu, Siliconera and Nintendo Everything (I know they copy stuff but the site is helpful in checking eShop and pre-orders). I hate IGN.

Though it has been said before, you can't spell ignorant without IGN.

Oh I know what it is.

I just don't agree with some things about it, even though I can't really change it.

I never would have thought an upcoming Predator movie being potentially worst than the 2018 film but with Disney at helm, my expectations have been exceeded...

How can a studio like Disney which is known for its family-friendly content, be responsible for trying to get anything out of a franchise like Predator? They'd tone down the violence, minimal cursing, and character's involved that no fans of the first two movies would give a **** about....it beggars belief.

Let this franchise just die already as with Alien.

You are aware that Disney put out Pulp Fiction via Miramax right?
You gotta stop this fearmongering crap.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

So I just found out that Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid was made by the same team that made that IOS PR fighting game and is essentially an upgraded version of it. If that can happen to PR then I know which games I would like to get upgraded with a console budget, no microtransactions, and just more diversity in the content.

 

[Wario Bros.]

Only a two month gap is just crazy and unexpected.

Nintendo still owes us their E3 plans.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

I mean Disney is a right wing cabal vying for control over a global fascist state, but you are right about Pulp Fiction so it is very possible for them to put out a decent Predator movie if they get the right team on it.

I may be depressed, living with a family who doesn't like me, emotionless and eats nothing but instant ramen most of the time but.........................

I can make one hell of a timeline for my stories events. Spending the time in the library was productive so I'm gonna make this a twice a week thing,

[Lamperouge]

Finally got around to seeing Spider-Man 3. What a trip lol.

Spoiler: Longish thoughts

I really liked how Peter and his ego was pretty much a major antagonistical role., and this film honestly has some of my favorite scenes in the entire trilogy. The birth of Sandman, as well as pretty much everything emo Peter come to mind in particular.

On the other hand, the film was way too bloated and unfocused, they definitely could've chopped some plot points out and save it for the hypothetical 4th film. Also wasn't crazy about Harry's side story in particular, nor Sandman being revealed as the true killer of Uncle Ben.

Overall though, still a fun and and fairly competent film, even if it's deep under a studio-interfered mess.

As such, I have now seen every single main theatrically released Spider-Man film (excluding Venom. May get to it eventually). I'd want to rank em eventually, but I'll probably wait for Spider-Man 3's placement to settle in my head, haha.

I'm probably a bit biased since I grew up with the Raimi films but I've always liked Spider-Man 3. Even with all its faults, the movie is still really charming and almost every scene involving Emo Peter is freaking hilarious.
