@Thad Imma be real, it all just kinda blends together into a gray sludge at this point. I just focus on the one ray of hope we got and vicariously pretend I live in New York City

@RootsGenoa I saw a pole the other day that said "climate" is now one of the bottom concerns for Americans. We've given up. They've already taken away the parks. There's nothing left for us to fight over. Just roll with the hedonism as long as possible until the world ends

Figuring out the legal on that must have been a labyrinth. The website actually lists Winning Entertainment (current name of NatsumeAtari's (no relation) holding company) as the primary copyright holder, with City Connection as the secondary. No mention is made of Bandai and/or Namco. This would, however, explain why that remake @PinballBuzzbro mentioned is happening the way that it is.

@slider1983 CAUSE IT SOUNDED LIKE YOU WERE SAYING WADE IS USING AI IN STUFF!

I yearn for the sweet release of death

@slider1983 THAT'S WHAT I'M ASKING YOU

@firenze Where did you get that developor info? Seriously, SBW is a WEIRD game: it has NO credits

@slider1983 But nothing about Wase doing it specifically?

@slider1983 ...What makes you ask that? What happened?

Tatsujin is the only part of Embracer without some horrible controversy hanging over them, besides the residual background Randyation. They are one of the two things keeping me sane right now.
...
Though why is he acting like Snow Bros 3 didn't happen? Sure it was... weird, and had a difficulty WALL at the end, but wasn't a bad game.

It's probably Yars, since that's the one with the most plot

CRT, LRG, Arcade collection, City Connection Boosted, and now this. Am I forgetting any other ways Freemode is selling Tatsujin ROMs?

How many ways has Freemode ported the same 20 shumps and 2 playformers now? Inthink this is method 5?

Every game company of a certain size has investments from one, if not all three of the Evil Empires. I'm guessing the problem here wasn't the games themselves, every game past a certain point has some level of blood money put into it) but rather that it was sponsored by SNK, and therefore Savvy Games Group (or whatever royal family front it is), and therefore GDQ was taking the blood money directly: which as pointed out could be seen as a "conflict of interest." The real question though is: will they do the same for any other AAA publisher that's directly sponsor the event, because with the notable exception of I think Arc System Works, there isn't a a single one of them that doesn't have blood money.

I think this is the first Atari presser to acknowledge they have a small team in India that was responsible for thrle VCS, but England? What's in England? All of Thunderful's remaining studios are Swedish. DE and Nightdive are American. Is it Implicit Conversions? Their website says Deleware, but if course nothing is actually in Tax Evasion the State.

He's also the SOURCE of most of the drama in boutique publishing cause he TANKED the reputation of the entire industry

The Delaware of Europe

@Martin_H Supposedly, they're making a new development studio in Germany

I mean, it makes sense, but even as the sycophant I am I worry about Monopolies. I feel like all the emulation companies will end up under a single point of failure at this rate. Who's even left? Code Mystics?

@PKDuckman Yeah, that tracks too

It's cosmicly hilarious that Deep Silver and THQNordic have essentially swapped roles: Plaion has the most prosperous retro operation in Gaming, while THQNordic mostly just makes Eurojank now outside of Purple Lamp

Good for them that they can develop and publish themselves again.

Who announces a game on LinkedIn????

@Guru_Larry Okay so I'm not insane and the name is madness inducing. It must be what the game is called in Korea

@GeeTea Ah, Butasan Indid have okay. So there's games I never learned the western names too... crap

...what the heck is Pig's & Bomber's and why is it not already on my sheet?

Notice how none of them are President. That's cause they all answer directly to Clear River now instead of that nitwit Josh

The sub-line is the most self-destructive thing I've seen on the Internet

EA is terrible for a massive amount of reasons, but they really were declared the worst for a very very VERY stupid reason when, compared to other American companies, espcially at the time, they were Mr. Rogers.

@gojiguy Ah. So the Interplay Special. Gonna be interesting to see if the IP end up at Hamster or City Connection when whatever geezer that's keeping the dream alive finally corks it. I say that about Seibu and Treasure, cause Treasure in it's current state is just sad, man.

@gojiguy I... see. They're all published by something called KMBOX now, (though I think Zerodiv was always the developer of the emulator) who look to be a... Chinese small form computer manufacturer?

Can someone explain to me how Seibu Kaihatsu is still slive?

@gojiguy Citation?

No seriously, I'd love a source that casue I've found nothing on PSiKYO 's legal status in English.

As far as I'm aware, PSiKYO is a division/brand under City Connection now, so the Jaleco games make perfect sense.

Of course his name is Brandon

@NatiaAdamo Man, it seems so weird that there was a time Call of Duty had art and passion put into it.

...Mega Cat is a LOT more prolific than I thought they were, and I'm not entirely sure they count as indie because of that.

Also, someone tell me how wrong I am on this but isn't H.E.R.O. on of, if not THE most expensive 2600 cartridges cause it somehow never got re-released on any of the comps before?

Oh that's nice. It did better than expected

That is indeed a Jet Set Radio Golfing spin-off

The reason all this is happening is because Sony apparently only ever owned the games, never the characters of Parappa. Original creator Rodney retained everything else

@Sketcz ....

Nope, still lost

I don't know what Culdcept is and I'll never understand, but Am obligated to point out that since it's the Clarice engine porting the first game, the new one is also being published by City Connection physically. True cartridge, just like Rushing Beat, and the relationship with LRG's much cooler European cousin remains stonger than ever as Begins is planned for a world wide simultaneous physical release.

@PKDuckman I said Seems.

Although, I'm surprised this beat that Shmup they were making to be the first of their "numbered" releases.

This is done by M2 while Digital Eclipse seems to have done Bomberman

Huh... that's one of those things you feel like was always there. Just by default

That... is a THQNordic IP. At least, it was the last time I checked.

Me thinks there was an IP fore sale at one point, though wouldn't they be line items on the IR reports? I'll have to remove this and Delta Force later.

Thanks, Klemens

@LowDefAl That's what I said. They are inventing new platforms just for SNK, City Connection, and Atari to port old ROMa too

The lengths SNK goes to to find new ways to port their old games is impressive, if a bit distressing

Synergy Connection
