Heard somewhere that in Japan, sakura wars merchandise is second only to sonic for sega.
I do know the 2020 reboot was looked upon as a disappointment in sales but it would be great if they re-released the original ones with English translations.
@PKDuckman Doesn't sound like Piko owns all of the Gaelco library. I know besides these titles they also got Alligator Hunt but unsure if there are others, Gaelco is still an active business company btw, just not making video games anymore by the looks of things.
@speedyb sounds like they will be releasing One at some point, they just announced it far too early (they did the same thing with breakers and rage of the dragons)
@Martin_H omg someone else who's played southern bell! I didn't but my brother loved it. I kept telling people who wanted train games back in the day that it existed but ofc like anything on the beeb that wasn't Elite, they just had no interest.
I really am surprised that City Connection hasn't released the trilogy in a set with both jap and us versions of the games. They literally were what Jaleco were most famous for in the west.
Just to be clear to anyone in the states, that it's not just the left who hate Trump and his associates internationally, the right winged people despise them too.
Very few people look at them and think they're doing a good job, only the openly racist people do. Like how we can't believe that half of Russia believes putin, we don't understand how so many Americans can believe and trust Trump. Please listen to everyone outside of the states about what they think of Trump (not Nigel farage)
Wow glad to see it. Kinda susprised they axed them since the original pit fighter was popular in every arcade I saw it released in, I mean this came out right when van damme's early films were making loads on vhs. Then again it really was a bad game and assuming all the home ports didn't sell well (can't think of any positive reviews from the gaming mags) I mean the middle aged of us still mock it when discussing great fighting games.
Well in regards to archives release I put money that the next collection will be a final fight one. It also funny that with the new popularity of beat em ups that they are the only one with a iconic beat em up ip that hasn't done a new game in the franchise.
Ace attorney I'm susprised (or to be more accurate shouldn't be) that they stopped making them (although I really didn't like the ancestor ones). I thought merchandise/media spinoffs from the games still did well enough to justify making one every couple of years.
With these failed consoles I would love it if they had a game compilation plus documentary release on modern consoles. No I don't think they all had a tempest 2000 quality game on them (although I've heard the zeeboo's double dragon remake is quite good) but it would still be nice to try something different.
@PKDuckman I wouldn't also be surprised if many of their digital retro releases as well that havent sold too great, their irem collections and especially Osman were overpriced compared to other independent companies retro re-releases.
@scollurio where do u get this info from? Because speaking as a uk citizen and talking to my friends living in Russia the answer is no, more people aren't being sent to prison in uk then russia. Or to be more accurate yeah more people in uk have been sent to prison for fb posts then Russia is because FACEBOOK IS BANNED IN RUSSIA! To stop people from hearing the news about what's really going on with the invasion, where with the Russian equivalents like VK it's easier to keep track of what people say. Wherever you are getting your news from it's deliberately twisting facts to suit their propaganda. You really need to ask yourself why does the rest of the world distrust Trump as much as Putin? Have u ever seen someone in a bad relationship and they couldn't see it themselves?
@scollurio no Europe does not want ww3 the difference is that Europe has delt with Putin's bs before and like Zelensky tried to warn Trump. Instead Trump being either a) gullable or b) just pretending he's trying to sort it out is sucking up to Putin believing that he really wants to end the war, when like last night it's nothing more then a stalling tactic.
Like with half of Russia, the rest of the world doesn't understand how half of America cannot see how blatantly they're being played.

Re: James Pond Is Getting His Own Collection On PC, PS5, Xbox And Switch 2
Yeah that artwork also looks terrible.
Makes sense to release them together as robocod seemed to be the only one that had any real success.
But I just don't trust system 3 at all!
Guess have to see how the last ninja collection ends up like.
