Urban Champion, at last!

Appreciate the very subtle shoutout to Smash Remix at the end there, it's bonkers good! These days, I find myself enjoying the original Smash Bros more than its immediate sequel (Melee), mainly because it plays quite differently from the rest of the series with its crazy hitstun; where every hit is basically a potential zero-to-death combo I'm no competitive player by any means, but I appreciate how unique it plays and feels compared to the rest of the series. Variety is the spice of life after all, and that's the Smash Bros' series' biggest strength. But yeah, these days, if I'm gonna play the original Smash Bros, it's gonna be through Smash Remix. Easily one of the greatest fan mod projects of all time, the sheer amount of extra (and high quality!) content that they've added to the original game is just an absolute marvel; and to see it all running smoothly on original hardware to boot? Wow! Incredible!

I appreciate that they went out of their way to call it a Deluxe Remaster, purely because they knew that it would give the game a stupid looking initialism

It’s a feature, not a bug

Woah! We’re like, all hip & modern & swish now innit! That being said though… Saying that we represent Europe in all of its totality is probably a tad presumptive Edit: Oh wait, never mind, fixed already! That was proper fast!

Credits list is here (scroll down and you’ll see it): https://gdri.smspower.org/wiki/index.php/Credits_Repository I’m out and about using my phone right now, so I’m not in a position to check myself, but have a look and see if there is any shared staff who worked on the ISS games; I’m pretty curious about this one now!

I’m surprised Konami didn’t attempt to sue. That match HUD is basically identical to what ISS uses Still. If you’re gonna steal, might as well steal from the best!

Astral Chain is many things, but generic ain’t one of them. There’s literally no other game quite like it.

You're thinking of Taito's Qix. This game is basically softcore porn Qix. Funnily enough, this isn't the first time somebody made a softcore porn take on Taito's game... of all companies, Namco took a stab at the concept with an arcade game called Dancing Eyes in 1996 (though I don't believe there's any actual nudity, there's definitely visible underwear and a certain luridness about the game).

Suppose it has to go to penalties doesn’t it? Wouldn’t be a proper England Exit without one Edit (Again!!): Or perhaps not!

What can I say? England faaking useless as usual. They’ve sucked throughout the whole tournament so far, completely undeserving of going through. Edit: Wait, WHAT!?!? Gareth fucking jammy as shit!

SGDQ 2024 starts today at 17:00 BST! https://gamesdonequick.com/schedule/48 HYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYPE! @drahkon The Balatro run is due at 01:05 on Tuesday 2nd. You won’t want to miss it (but if you do, you can watch the catchup vid when they upload it to their YouTube channel a few hours later ).

Sounds like they predicted the modern Incel movement to a tee

That's exactly what I'm expecting it to be. No good reason why this game should be almost double the size of Tropical Freeze, and it's exactly the kind of corner cutting I'd expect from Forever Entertainment. Nah, the Gamexplain video handidly debunks that. It's just incompetence on Forever Entertainment's part.

Every Kinstone in this randomiser is suddenly super hype. Normally most of the Kinstones lead to optional junk, but here? It could contain anything! Yeah, Minish Cap works really well as a randomiser!

The box art kind of tells you everything you need to know about this game. Can’t call it false advertising!

Mine isn’t!

Stocks you say? My inner Boom Street fan is tingling Seriously, how have we not gotten a new Itadaki/Boom Street game on Switch yet!? The sheer mismanagement and incompetence at S-E to not make it happen is astounding!

Yo dawg! We heard you like 99...

I bet these 39 new games are the Intellivision games that Atari recently acquired… would fit perfectly with the new “The First Console War” section of their history. Kind of like parading around the corpse of their dead foe

The developer is Tantalus. https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/luigis-mansion-2-hd-developer-revealed-as-skyward-sword-hd-studio/ Which explains why it looks like a quality remaster (unlike a certain other HD remaster of a Nintendo game that shall not be named...)

Thursdays and Saturdays are usually good too, as long as they don't happen at 20:00 (That's Mario Kart and Smash time respectively). I'm not always around then, but let @Glen-i know what times you'd want to play on those days and he'll be more than happy to get some games going I'm sure.

Can't come a moment too soon! The poor old thing is creaking at the seams. As long as I get to keep my smilies, and can still read the old archived posts, I'll be haps Thanks for all your hard work

You know what? After seeing Skull & Bones eventually shamble its way to a retail release after a gruelling 10 year development cycle? And then seeing Ubisoft make exactly the same mistake again with rebooting the reboot of the remake of Sands of Time? I think Ubisoft might actually be dumb enough to continue attempting to release BG&E2. They don't seem to understand the idea of the gambler's fallacy, or of opportunity cost. So for the worse? They're gonna release this steaming pile even if it kills the company.
