Gaming News So Small It Gets a Second Thread

^ Nope, never heard of that, and now I'm convinced it's going to be the best game of all time. It looks like they took the most whacked out bits of the Yakuza and Grasshopper games and thought, "no, not crazy enough."

Karous 2 - The Diffused Sanguis - () trailer



There's also a Japanese crowdfunder running for ports of the original Karous. Switch release target is 2.5m yen, Steam at 3m, physical for Switch at 4m, and PS4/5 versions at 6m.

Meh. The newest Radirgy was poor, and Karous has always been Radirgy's worse brother. I'll still probably get it, but have absolutely no hope of it being decent.

Both Radirgy Karosu are crap IMO. I remember buying both for the Dreamcast and feeling so let down. The games look awful, the play nothing special and have very forgettable soundtracks. Yep, I have never understood why either of those games are popular. In fact, all Milestone games were meh. That also includes Chaos Seed but at least that looks okay.
Triangle Services who were another new company at the time had much better output but again, nothing trully fantastic apart from Trigger Heart which also started life on the Dreamcast.

It's been over 10 years easily since i last placed an order from play asia but it's one of the times i can't find this in Japan. I love the momoden boardgames but playing in Japanese is tricky as there's a lot of text and rules. Seems there's an Asian version coming in december that has full english i was certainly not going to pass this up so it's been preordered. Sadly i don't think the Asian version will be getting that UFO yakisoba DLC mission stuff but i'll take what i can get, the game is insanely fun will be great to finally know the rules inside & out.

Super Nintendo World Direct set for November 11. As the name implies, this will cover the Nintendo attractions at Universal Studios, and will detail the upcoming Donkey Kong portion.
The Direct will be about 10 minutes in lenght (plus the usual one or two hours of countdown before the actual Direct).

New Shinobi, way to early to say anything nice about (aside from excellent the running animation), reminds me to much of SoR4.

Out of nowhere, the remake of Little Big Adventure 1 is out.. £25 on steam (probably elsewhere). I have both GOG versions of the original games which i'm a fan of, so i'm very tempted to pick up as i'm looking for a good single player game to get into.



and.... on Epic this month Castlevania Anniversary Collection is the free game.

Ah, I’ve been waiting for LBA to come out. I tried the original a while back and it was too dated to be playable.

EDIT physical ltd ed is available for switch and PS5 only, with digital on Dec 5 for Xbox. Hm, decisions, decisions.

Stalker 2 might be banned in Russia, and Russian players might face charges if they purchase the game. The reasonign is that the developers are finacially supporting the evil and terrorist Ukranian armed forces, and the game might contain "extremism, justification of terrorism, or incitement of ethnic hatred".
