Well I hope nothing bad happens to someone Shadow cares about… Seems I missed quite a bit of lore by skipping that game.

Wayford has announced they are resuming development of a canceled Shantae game for the GBA, coming to... the GBA? https://wayforward.com/wayforward-announces-shantae-advance/

Metal Slime monsters appearance rates increase a lot and makes it super easy to farm Metal Kings which makes grinding much easier. You also unlock some extra boss fights to get better skill scrolls, but those are mostly useful if you want to be competitively. Story wise it wraps up a couple of things. The Whispwoods area is actually quite short, but the bosses are really strong, you'll probably need at least 1 or 2 higher rank monsters.

So good that PSO did a remix of mostly PSII songs but this song made it in. It's Fire Emblem, right? ...Right?

It was a purely defensive shell. I got Mario Kart lag'd as the shells collided on my screen but I still got hit. Maybe a little.

Yeah, but I thought the rule was you couldn’t get another one for 30 seconds, did the first cpu player hold onto it that long?

How was there 2 lightning so close to each other in that first race?

Heard the demo required a Ubisoft account login. Is that true for the full game?

Pretty scummy of Amazon in that case, selling as new. Not that bothered about Persona 3 (I’ll check that the disk works later tonight) but it’s the last time buying games from them. The Game Collection are selling it for £35 if anyone wants an alternative.

Mine doesn't either. Looks like there's dust trapped inside mine. Looks like it's between the cover and the cover plastic bit... thing.

I picked up Persona as well, how can you tell it's resealed?

Sorry, might not be able to make it tonight. Will join if I can later.

What model is that? Been thinking about upgrading as well but it's a nightmare trying to find what a good monitor is, so I'd be interested in your thoughts about it.

Boxart.

GAME's page makes mention that is was announced in a Direct.

Now we know what games are coming until June. We can assume Pokémon Legends is coming January if it follows the previous games reveal - release cycle. Or maybe they are aiming for before Christmas since they don't have a companion game this time? Edit: forgot they said 2025 already. Professor Layton is scheduled for next year too, still for the Switch, unless that is cross gen (or banking on backwards compatibility?).

Trust me to mess up a metal slash opportunity. Are you with Virgin Media by any chance? Mine seemed to be acting up as well.

Emboars design was inspired from Zhu Bajie from Journey to the West, I believe. Ties in with Infernape. Definitely not inspired from American wrestling, the Tepig line designs have a Chinese influence. incineroar is the one based on wrestling.

What? Why do that now? And for icons?

Oh, right forgot that was a thing (and that it’s March already). Was wondering if they were just going to randomly drop dates for those 2. After the Peach game releases, there’s currently nothing we know about 1st party games wise for the rest of this year, is there?

Japanese copies of the disks were labelled wrong, sounds like they did a real botch job.

Reggie's book reveals there were discussions on being it west. https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2022/05/reggie-fils-aime-had-a-serious-conversation-about-bringing-mother-3-west-with-iwata Reggie wanted to put it out in Japanese which is bizarre to me.

A new Denpaman game was shown in the Japanese direct.

That article is misleading, the game is in Japanese only.

Items don’t transfer from Lyn’s story, if you did use it then it’s gone. Next one is in chapter 21.
