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

It'll have the same fate as Accolade: it will make a Bubsy 5 and 6, and then be absorbed back into Wade's increasingly Embracer looking Atari.

I just hope Wade doesn't end up trying to buy Hasbro, Image, Sega's European grown studios and IP, and the estate of Arthur Conan Doyle all within a 6 month span. He's already in danger of picking up the equivalent of a Randy and LRG with Tiny Build and Thunderfull.

@KingMike If you couldn't tell, keeping the names straight when given just the titles and no visual for the Japanese games made stuff very confusing

@KingMike https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1uHp_wqa1tNWa8DpeRRH-KGp3rSU4fmYLtIr86Z7f7og/edit?pli=1&gid=639918701#gid=639918701

Huh. I don't have Hiouden on my sheet. Could it have another name? All I'm finding is the direct translation of the subtitle, and that's nowhere on their either

@Grackler @Sketcz As the Embracer sycophant, I feel it is my duty to apologize for the failings of the house of Stubbs, but also to blame this on Jeff Fairhurst being a bad influence, and Phil Rogers being crap at reaource allocation

Oh, you don't want to piss off the French, Phil. They're where Montreal learned it from, and they're worse.

Thanks, Wade

Still confused how Plaion is making these things (and how they're more readily available than LRG's modern console releases. You know, the ones with the user count in the millions? Funny that, isn't it?)

Yeah, that sounds like Nicallis

It really will be a guy in cargo pants and a Zelda Tee

"Tits are life, Ass is Holetown"

...4K Media actually gets to work on the GAMES? I thought they were just in charge of localizing Yu-Gi-Oh cards. I assume he means then that they helped with Operation Gulaga; which I always suspected there was outside help on cause none of that game looks like the Wayforward house style.

No hour long documentary in "The Lion Guy"? 0/10

@PKDuckman I just like having the oppurtunity to point out how much my hatred for Microsoft is directly proportional to how much i love modern Atari.

I like that Phil is such a federal politician level of incompetent at keeping his promises, even the most vauge and simple ones like "do something with Hexen" that he has to call in Atari to to bail him out.

Thanks, Wade

So how ling do you think until he sells to Wade? I give it 15 months tops

How much of the old Microprose is this Microprose anyway though? Cause last I checked most of their IP are disputed between Take-Two, Billionsoft, and Wade Rosen

In relation to LRG update: Yeah... yeah that makes an unfortunate amount of sense. At least it's Clear River, so it will be sold at normal stores: EVENTUALLY

England still has Arcades?

England still gets NEW Arcade games?

England has OFFICIAL NAMCO ARCADES?!

**NAMCO STILL MAKES NEW LIGHT GUN GAMES?!!**

Oh so THAT'S where we inherited that from

@slider1983 Hey, I blacklist all Tencent and NetEase owned IP when I go into the archives. I'm an American: I'm already stuck supporting a warmongering monkey brain by default. I don't need another

What I want to know is what the HELL is the rights situation on Sabrina that, out of the MULTITUDES of GB/C games Wayforward made, did they not only go for Sabrina, but were able to navigate the rights hellhole that is licensed kids games?

Does Team 17 own Turrican now? I know they don't own Red Dwarf.

Needs more GEX

Huh.

Well that's.

Concerning

@JackGYarwood ...Never heard of it.

What dod Double Helix even DO for Amazon?

Whoops! Missed that one when making the Square -Enix section. Gotta fix that later

Shakar is many things. Most of them extremely awful. But if there's one person in this world he's an objective upgrade over it's Randy.

Well Sunsoft is desperate for ports to sell. They could probably sell it back to them

Hmmm... that's on of the Human games we can't actually confirm where it ended up apparently.

...my God he's right. And hell, there's no way he can screw Duke up more than Randy or Take-Two could.

@Guru_Larry I think it's because he really wants an excuse to work on a Saturn emulator that NEEDS to be frame perfect. as a flex. Success and City Connection's are really only good for shooters (and even then still need work), which are a bit more forgiving in their input delay allowance.

The saddest part of all this is Matt Danner, creator of Xiaolin Showdown and Legend of the Three Caballeros is listed as the main creative behind this.

We all do things we aren't proud of to keep the lights on sometimes.

I'll have to update my Idea Factory section later

This seems like something that's too British for my Freedom brain to understand

Note to self: update Whomp'Em

If Wade or Pich haven't gotten it yet, I don't see this guy being able to work up the money

>THQNordic Japan

THQ is directly involved now? Not just Clear River?! I won't have to deal with the Josh Fairhurst delay of unknown length to play it physically!!

I feel like Wade risks stretching himself too thin with all that hardware. Stick with the 7800+ The NES level games seem to be selling enough to profit for both them and Plaion.

I'm too American to understand the signifance of this, but good for you I guess

I guess I'll get the physicals when Josh puts them on Amazon next year.

Man, i really want City Connection to move to U & I for North America

Finally, something good will come out of MGM 3

Supposedly, its because City of Wolves sold like the Wii U

Wait, which rights holder? G-Mode, Paon, or Sega? I've been keeping it under G-Mode since they got most everything, but did it end up going to some weird ass other place because it was made by the Pinball dudes?
