Oh hey, better user score than a Pokémon game! that's an accomplishment I can certainly brag about!

Eh, critic reviews could've done better though on our part, but we know they hate us very much for making hard games...

Ah yes, the best players in the world like uh....

(Shoot! I dunno any good Frogger players... uhh, I'll just come up with a name on the spot)

Right! uh.... John.... Frogger?

Turn it to a game show by attracting the best Frogger players in the world.

YOU GAVE THEM A WHAT NOW!?

...Wait, that actually sounds like a decent concept, my only question is how do you fuck up something as simple as Frogger?

𝐀𝐓𝐋𝐔𝐒 @parodyatlus.bsky.social · Sep 17

- Now, I KNOW full well your Pocket Monsters, or whatever they were called... released, I dunno.. nearly a DECADE after that? way too much time to be considered the FIRST game where you summon partners to fight for the player...

Soo, no. we made it first, sorry... Wanna try this again?

*ahem*

...In 1986, a novel titled Digital Devil Story: Megami Tensei was released, which would introduce the concept of summoning demons via a computer system to fight for the protagonist. Fast forward to a year later, a game based on that was created for the Famicom, using those exact mechanics. -

As for the Kirby anime dub...

That means tossing an object to summon a creature that if far enough will engage in auto combat but if you're closer, it will be normal combat.

At least, that's what I gathered from reading all 45 pages.

Buuuuut even then it's scummy to try and patent a game mechanic, original or not, sooooo...

And I don't mean like the news articles that, honestly blew the entire thing out of proportion... I'm talking about the whole patent...

Put it simply, they're trying to patent the way you summon and fight creatures JUST LIKE the new Pokémon game.

Square? They’re doing their own thing, and besides, having a Disney character as a summon in KH feels all the better since said series is a sister franchise to Final Fantasy.”
