You know, I thought I consumed every aspect of the Madagascar franchise, but I’ve never played any of the video games. Like this post if you think I should correct that.

Nah we'll have people hype up Emio vs Ayumi, the most nothingburger character I've seen get hyped up since Toad, only people actually played Toad's games when hyping him up.


Me being cynical aside, I hope this game's at least good, the FDC remakes were quite middling, felt like the novelty was the most exciting thing about it, this could change that

Nintendo fans realizing Emio was a Visual Novel all along (they can't read)

Someone: Hey Knuckles, what's your favorite Marina and the Diamonds song?
Knuckles:

Yeah, I know it's just MARINA now

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Holy **** I'm gonna sound mean as hell but Yoshio Sakamoto's writing Emio. Unless I'm mistaken, last time he had full control on a story focused game, Metroid died. It's been over a decade so he could be good now but **** man that's hilarious

We're going to have so many exhilarating debates about whether visual novels are real video games.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Ok actually they might be cooking. Higher age rating than the remakes and Sakamoto directly saying it's ending is likely gonna be controversial says that the story will at the very least be more memorable than the remakes. I'm gonna be a bit more optimistic here

 

[Dukefire]

TBH, I can't stick with visual novels since it is more reading and getting into the story. I'm more of an into the action kind of gamer.

Ooooooooooo YES! I was hoping that would get a sequel after the remakes.

Nah they're fighting with Ayumi for Smash fans. Those people made **** up too

Also wow, physical release and it's not a full 60 bucks, that's a welcome surprise

Nah, let the Emio vs. Ayumi wars begin.

Why not? My childhood was almost nothing but licensed games. They can be great fun!

Also I will support Emio. I loved the Famicom detective club remakes and the ending of The Missing Heir legit freaked me out when I saw it.

Emio isn’t an epic Nintendo mascot horror content farm game
It’s just a stinky visual novel

Ngl I was hoping it would be like a Resident Evil or a Silent Hill. But Famicom Detective Club is still an amazing get.

I used to have the same mindset but I recommend trying something new, if you told me like 10 years ago some of the most meaningful games to me were just Powerpoint presentations with zero gameplay I'd assume you were insane. Wait for the Ace Attorney trilogy to go on sale or something

No dude you don't get it, now you can get the epic secret lore by examining random windows or asjing Ayumi why she says she can wield a naginata when she doesn't do jack ****

AYUMI TACHIBANA-BROS WE ARE SO ****ING BACK!!!

and I now have an excuse to buy the first two FDC games on switch too so I can stream em all

If we're being technical, the Famicom Detective Club series are adventure games rather than just visual/kinetic novels. I feel like those would be a lot harder to sell to Nintendo fans.

They're worse Ace Attorney games, the Tower of Druaga to VN's Zelda 1. I feel it's a fair recommendation

Also your avi looks like Ben 10 which is throwing me off

Thanks, now you're making me imagine a crossover between Ben 10 and Tiger & Bunny and it's amazing.

Hard to believe that it had been 35 years since the last entry was released in Japan.

Ok those games were great! Don’t slander them just because they don’t have a sexy lawyer in them.

 

[Jondolio]

I like Kanji he's a good boy

Worse than Ace Attorney is hardly slander. The FDC remakes are just mid to me and every other VN I've played besides Danganronpa 1 and 2 were better. They are also objectively better on account of costing less than 60 bucks because Nintendo hates putting games on sales

Awesome. It's especially interesting that we're getting a physical release overseas unlike the remakes of the first two games. Hopefully it'll have enough meat to it to be worth that price tag.

I still need to finish the first two games. I downloaded them day one, but they've been in my backlog ever since. I also can't watch GameCenter CX anymore until I finish the first game so I don't have the plot spoiled for me.

I did a "draw your oc in this" picture on twitter

I like Kanji he's a good boy

Kanji is the pitbull named "World Ender" that like to play with balls and snuggle

 

[TheMightyP]

While I myself am not a big visual novel guy, it is cool seeing a dead ip like FDC get revived like that. I mean that's what we all like to see, right?
