@gojiguy "If we push aside all the ethical issues of AI and forget they exist"

Not that we should, mind you. Some of us still want to have clean drinking water.

The headline is a bit misleading. A GB in its final form would be in a much more advanced state, if you know what I mean.

@-wc- Does it really matter how you word it? Either way you're coming off as weirdly hostile for no real reason. I get being frustrated about Copeland's absence but I don't think that means taking it out on a potential new audience.

@-wc- "very cute that anyone would think Spyro is for "a new generation.""

Because as we all know, Spyro should only be for nostalgia-blind forty-somethings who love getting their dopamine from things they recognize when they were kids.

A tad disappointed but I do wanna be open-minded.

If I wanted to play Banjo on a handheld, I'd just play Grunty's Revenge.

@-wc- I know this comment is almost a year old but to answer your question, not really, no. It's worth nothing that the Mother series isn't wholly owned by Nintendo. It's basically joint ownership between them and Shigesato Itoi, who's been okay with Mother fan projects for a long time now - even giving his approval to the fan translation of Mother 3.

@-wc- Look, in my defense "comprised" and "compromised" are very easy for me to mix up when typing, alright? It's no Freudian slip, just a grammatical error!

@Ducklizard Did you @ me by accident or something?

@betterman Crash 4 was mainly developed by Toys For Bob, same people behind the upcoming Spyro game. Honestly I'd prefer if they handled Star Fox instead.

I looked into Velan Studios and apparently they're comprised of former Vicarious Visions devs.

Explains a lot to be honest.

For comparison:

I wonder which OST he prefers.

Wait, Atari was French the whole time?

Now even the articles are doing this?

Good grief, man.

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES!!!! FINALLY!!!!!!

For a long time now finding a good source for aftermarket 3DS shells has been nothing but a pipe dream, so this announcement is a HUGE deal. Could lead to a lot of good things in the future.

@Ravenmaster Source?

@Johnny_Arthur a 7/10 remake of a 5.5/10 game doesn't inherently mean Mayles was wrong. If anything, I'd argue the lack of Gregg's involvement is a big part of why Yooka didn't do all too well to begin with.

@ckoerner they removed the Gulf War Game Boy? I wanna assume that they moved it to their Nintendo Museum only because the alternative(i.e. it's locked in storage forever now) would be a bit of a shame.

Not surprised, this is a common thing with puppets from my understanding.

Speaking of puppets, what happened to those Star Fox puppets they used to promote Zero?

@Drnsnsr "Am I a joke to you"

@Johnny_Arthur "What would Rare have done if they had stayed with Nintendo? What could they have achieved with the Wii and now with the Nintendo Switch 2?"

Probably some of the stuff they with Microsoft, sans maybe the Conker remake and Kinect Sports.

@Johnny_Arthur yeah, maybe, but not in the way you might've hoped

Y'know, a lot of people like to believe that if Rare stayed at Nintendo they've would've made a Banjo in the vein of the first two but I'm inclined to believe we would've gotten Nuts and Bolts anyway. The game everyone else wanted was never on the cards. Gregg Mayles, lead director and designer on all three Banjos even confirmed this himself not too long ago:

@AndyVGR

The International House of Mojo and DK Vine are great sites if you want your Lucasarts-adjacent and Donkey Kong related happenings.

Nexus, Nexus... wasn't that Google's old phone series?

@Dalamar I'm with you on wanting more Crash games but I wouldn't put down the idea of a Crash Bandicoot cartoon series or something.

Looks gaudy. And why would you wanna play Banjo-Kazooie with a D-pad? Evercade's continued existence/relevance keeps baffling me.

@KingMike oh no, the Midnight Purple 3DS did actually release, but only in the US so it's pretty rare.

looks nice but I wouldn't really say it's "Game & Watch-like" outside of the backgrounds.

@SlangWon Hi, I asked for this, thank you very much

The Chaotix are some of my favorite Sonic characters, I love their whole bumbling detective dynamic a lot and it was always a shame that none of the games ever did anything fun with that. This little radio play may not be the same as a proper game, but I'm still down to see(or hear, I suppose) a brand new adventure putting the focus on the Chaotix doing some actual detective work.

@slider1983 this you

@MARl0 I've been through these trenches long before boyo. I've seen things I can never unsee.

[thousand yard stare into the abyss]

(Thankfully though I'm happy to be proven wrong so far)

Can't wait for the comments to just be this

Oooh SEGA's legal team is going to have a FIELD DAY with this

_{(JOKE. Cannot stress this enough.)}

You misspelled "Amazing," Damien.

@Geostyle your "concern" reads more like pointless fearmongering.

@Geostyle @ROBLOGNICK yes yes we get it Nintendo has a strict legal team, you are both very creative.

I'd rather just stick with the clamshell approach. Way less fragile than foldable screens at the moment.

My kingdom for a new Space Harrier.

These handhelds keep getting clunkier and clunkier.

I would rather pay full price for Mario Kart World than fork over cash to LRG.

@SlangWon you have explained the process, but have shown no actual examples of content that is "good on a purely aesthetical level" other than a YouTuber who's too lazy to commission actual artists and film restorations that usually look pretty terrible when using AI.

Human grit > robot magic.

@SlangWon "There is lots of AI-enhanced or even AI-generated content that can be considered very good on a purely aesthetical level."

Name some, hot shot.

my confidence in this statement is about as high as my confidence in Kevin Afghani's skills as a Mario successor. In other words, not very much.

And people wonder why I hate the remake trend so much.

A tragic loss. Rest well, Master Ninja.
