Just as we'd get excited for JRPGs to be localised in English, CRPG enthusiasts in Japan of the 80s would be the same about their favourite Western RPGs. Here in this cool ad from LOGiN's October '85 issue, the Japanese localisation of Wizardry (1981) is being heralded.

between the Highguard news and that Starlight Revolver video I just watched, I'm starting to think the only way to get a big budget for a game these days is going up to some rich guys and being like "we're making Fortnite 2: Roblox which will make double Fortnite and Roblox's money combined"

Bubble pop or total consumer electronic collapse first. Call it.
“.. ‘many system vendors will go bankrupt or exit product lines due to a lack of memory. Mobile phone production will be reduced by 200-250 million units, and PC and TV production will be significantly reduced.’ Yikes.”

the ‘need’ to innovate in game design is often unnecessarily overvalued, there are plenty of really good single-player games where i would pay good money for a what is essentially a re-skinned level pack

Rhythm game folks: is it considered annoying to grind out one song for a full combo/perfect in the arcade by playing it repeatedly? I always want to do this and always worry I will drive everyone else there crazy

So Mai and Kyla not being in Dead or Alive 6 LR is understandable, Capcom probably has an exclusive deal for SNK chars
But no rollback netcode and no upgrade option for existing DoA6 owners is baffling

Shutaro's various curry-related pseudonyms came from his observed day-in, day-out curry diet—as mentioned here (https://shmuplations.com/ariaofsorrow/), Aria's curry-tossing Waiter Skeleton is an homage to him, and I imagine Soma's "𝙮𝙪𝙢𝙢𝙮" when grabbing beef curry in Despair was his doing, too

Part of why there are far fewer fighting game major events (and why a lot of local events happen in donated/community spaces) is that the venue price of internet for livestreaming at convention spaces is absurd. The costs listed here are *per day* xcancel.com/kenniky1/sta...

Beep21 has reported that Hideki Sato, the father of Sega hardware, passed away yesterday at age 71. We planned to publish this article later, but it seems more fitting now to honor Sato's commitment to Sega's quality and legacy.

This is where I think there's parallels to the '83 crash. E.T. performed reasonably fine, but Atari invested so much into it that anything other than the biggest game ever would be a failure by *their* metrics! That's not the game's problem, that's management's problem
