Ian, Mikez and Wade are going to have FUN playing damage control with that.

How the heck did I miss a 4 game series when compiling the Taito section?

I'm sure of placeholder AI dialogue was really obvious, like it sounded like EVE, then I think we would have less problems

@breach187 I said DID. They DID make a genesis controller

@KingMike Marvelous. Specifically their mobile division G-Mode. They've been slinging Data East ports to every retro console they can. They even made an all new BurgerTime for consoles.

@breach187 1) That's what Amiico was going to do, but it's one of the main things that kept breaking

2) Nintendo did make a Gensis controller.

Putting aside how hilarious it is that Wade and Embracer's D Team were able to put together a better send up to Intellivision legacy in less than 2 years than Tommy ever did in 10 (by the way, this isn't the first use of Intellivision by Wade. Atari 50 got the M Network DLC, and there were shirts and hoodies immediately. There will always be shirts and hoodies.)

THE REAL QUESTION IS, did they manage to get Astrosmash, Boulderdash, and Shark Shark back from BBG, or is it a sub-liscenig deal like they had to do with Songbird for most of the Lynx and Jaguar games in 50?

The dissection of the human psyche at it's most raw and twisted now has a jukebox and achievements.

"The best satarist are in a constant battle against time, as no man could ever write a joke as hilarious and messed up as the stuff that just happens randomly on a Tuesday morning."

This is entirely a problem with only the Resident Evil producer they spoke to because literally every division of Capcom, INCLUDING THE RESIDENT EVIL TEAM, has a non-zero amount of resources put aside to find new and strange places to port their back catalog too.

"Why would you want to play old game when we make new game?"
"Why would you make a new Onimusha after porting the first 2 to modern platforms?"

FIGHT FOR LIFE 2, BAYBEE!

Making DiZ' computer Namine's "Throne" is a fantastic touch

The best games are made out of spite

@Tasuki ... it's already dead, that's why they sold it for gas money

Ah, seems this is one of those IP Pich picked up in that Gamescom fire sale Wade picked up Grow and those other Ubisoft games from. And apparently I have it listed under both Piko and Ubisoft. Will need to fix THAT later.

The old ways are the best ways

Europe gets the Atari items at actual stores, meanwhile everything in the US is Amazon, or the Josh Fairhurst mystery release date.

Normally, I'd call shenanigans, but seeing how absolutely terrible we've let things get, I can't say we deserve nice things

@JayJ Ah. Well good for them. Glad they aren't published by a division of the people what killed Michael Jackson anymore. Still confused about the 2

...So how many ways will this make it to play KoF 1-10? 4?

Wait I thought there already was a 2. Full Metal Jackal, or something like that. Had the dog from the OTHER Advance Wars at home game as DLC. And weren't these guys part of some kind of embezzlement scheme or something?

I am very confused

Of all the games to bring back... well Sunsoft was always known for their licensed games more than their originals. I guess City Hunter was just easier to re-negotiate than Batman

... Alrighty then

...Why was a Shmup at the Sonic convention?

And what do you mean only time? Square has made three shmups besides Einhander: the Gummi Ship in Kingdom Hearts. 3 even brought back the Schwarzgeist as it's Square super-boss (and all the 7 only normies complained cause they wanted Sephiroth again. "&+#-ing philistines.)

Do you think Jaleco 2 will ever just buy out Irem of their gaming IP? They never use them; they're purely Engineering software now

I mean I have a couple ideas on how a company with historic ties to both the US Military and organized crime was able to weasel their way to a warrant, bit it could also be just as likely that the clerks were just going through the motions when filling out forms and never stopped to actually look at what was being signed off on

...K? Games dongo out of print eventually. Really, it's weird Evercade announces this aflt all.

Ikki becoming Vampire Survivor made a certain amount of sense given their shared reputation and similar genres, but Ripple Island coming back as Overcooked just sound like mad-lib design. Granted, Atari is kinda doing the same thing with their 2nd party revivals and it's working for them, but Ripple Island was the most single player a game could get: a text adventure game. I can understand not wanting to over milk Hebereke, but there have to be OTHER Sunsoft IP that made more sense

Still don't get why we don't get Funky Bowling as well.

Who even owns the Athena games now anyway? Hamster?

@HammerKirby I wouldn't be surprised if they quick and dirtied that so that kids could actually KNOW who Tiki Tong is at Comcast's behest, since they were, for whatever reason, hiding the Kremlings outside of Smash until

@HammerKirby Exceptions are made for the involvement of EPD. Those guys can squeeze blood from a stone.

Forever has something most publishers don't: a consistent bar of quality. It's not a high bar, but it is an even and consistent one

LET'S GO AWAY! (let's go away)

@ElkinFencer10 Josh's argument is that even the failures need to be preserved, and it's something that even Wase Rosen repeats in reference to Bubsy's fame from failure; but Bubsy always had SOME level of care and passion put into him.

LRG is a vindictive ***** post in corporate form, and everything Josh picks up is just some form of pain he wants to inflict on others.

I asked him for clarification if they were sold to Mighty Rabbit (Josh's tax dodge developer that still exists on paper seperate of LRG but is technically controlled by Embracer) or Josh as a person. I guess I'll go with your reading and say they were sold to him directly, and therefore don't need to add them to the Embracer section of my spreadsheet.

Which is good because the first post-Randy addition to Embracer being a collection of ***** posts from the only man in gaming tbat could out-Randy Randy might have been enough to finally push me over the edge.

Coulda sworn Night Trap was part of this lot too...

I'm surprised Veronica is involved in something that's sure to put her position as Nintendo's go to for JRPG cougars in jeopardy.

"You have the sadism of Shodan, the destructive jealousy of Dark Matter, and Kapitalist Konsumption of King K. Rool. The only thing keeping you from being the TRUE final boss is you are not in the Xeno position where your megalomaniacal narcissism can unmake reality at a whim. That's your ex-boyfriend" - what an associate of mine sent to me with the caption "What I'd say to Elon if I had a large metal pipe in a dark alley."

Shatterhand was always one of the bigger question marks on my list because of the paradoxical nature of it's existence. The code was made by Natsume, which is now two different companies that have legally little to actually do with each other (and even less to do with Wade Rosen), but nonetheless pull from the same shared IP history of about 20 games they at one point owned as one entity (Shadow of the Ninja) , and a bunch of games they only localized (Pocky and Rocky).

Jaleco, meanwhile, is much more straight forward: they died and the whole lot was purchased by City Connection. Including anything owned by the international offices.

Shatterhand is a name that only exists because of Jaleco picking up the rights to the game, but not the license. Reports say it was Natsume whi suggested the 50 Shades asset swaps, but the nature of everything was still doctated and approved by the American marketers. I've always operated under the assumption that anything related to that Doki Doki branding would be inherited by CC, however much like the Ricotello mandated bastardchild Shadow of the Damned that Suda51 gets to do what he wants with anyway, did Natsume Atari somehow maintain the rights to all those publisher notes through 2 bankruptcies?

@slider1983 Yes. Wade does that.

@slider1983 "I Am Alive"

@slider1983 Most likely the horror one

@slider1983 The Ubisoft games are confirmed to be in the pipeline for Nightdive and Graphite Lab, and Digital Eclipse has been working on a remake of Intellivision's Cloudy Mountain since at least 2024 according to interal IP documents

I should buy a 7200+. If only as an excuse to own a copy of Tiger-Heli that doesn't require and LRG hoops

Aren't there still butt loads of import taxes for the US guy though?

@Tom_Gamer Remember, Vivendi are the people that put Bobby in charge of Activision. Pretty much every bad idea that has made western game development worse over the past 20 years can be traced to them, or the final boss of No More Heroes 3

Well the good news is, even of the games were published by what is now Microsoft, Nightdive as a known healthy relationship with Comcast's licensing department, and Im sure Vin Diesel would be more than happy to get these games back in people's hands.

Yet another reason to hate Google

@MasterZeta Huh. How'd I miss that? And what about this "Searchlight" project? That get anyone else?

@MasterZeta Source on the Two Point buyout? As Wade's views on Tiny Build and Thunderfull, I do understand the logic. Thunderful has some of the best AA devs in Euroope, and the second best distribution network. They still have the Nintendo contract for a reason. It's the management at Thunderfull I don't trust because they SPEEDRAN all of Embracer's mistakes so much people didn't even have time to write hit pieces on them. They had all that and they squandered it. I do not get the buisness rational.

I just straigh up hate Tiny Build's games. Full stop; not a single one of them is redeemable in my eyes. I understand that they have their market and it is a profitable one that Wade wants. I actually understand the buisness rationale with this case; I just hate it for personal reasons.

@NatiaAdamo Okay, so Creative Assembly

@Martin_H The issue with Wade's White Whale is that the rights are split to an uncertain degree between Disney, Warner Bros, and EA, and neither one wants to step forward on what parts they do and do not own because it would set legal precident in copyright law that could bite them later, and Atari can't just treat it as abandon ware cause then they poke all 3 bears at once and Wade very much needs to keep things nice and civil with them of he wants to keep those Lucasfilm and Midway licenses open; to say nothing of maintaining good standing with the likes of Comcast and Hasbro. At least until Nightdive is able to get permission for Alice or Wing Commander, and then they'll be able to call producers from all 3 relevant parties, lock them in a bathroom Saw style, and make them fight to the death to establish who actually owns the stupid thing.

@NatiaAdamo I was talking about (reads hand) Crate Assemble and/or Relc??

The dudes they bought from THQNordic but didn't let Spin-off IO style.

And Two-Point is weird: the studio is indie and owns the IP, but Sega owns the games themselves - it's very weird. Like Wonder Boy or Ecco
