@seinfeldfanatic I know I'm just being hyperbolic. It just feels strange they wouldn't have this in a Nintendo Direct because I know most people ain't playing Mega Man on PlayStation

CAPCOM HOW COULD YOU NOT PUT THIS IN THE SWITCH DIRECT

Man they are just drip feeding games worse than Nintendo now for PS Plus Premium. Sony has so many first party games they could do but they're just so slow trying to drain people of their Premium subs lol

I don't think Sucker Punch needs to do a Sly Cooper if they feel like they wouldn't want to make one, I just wish that of they wanted to do so, they could make a new games in a different styles from what they've been doing for the past 2 decades or so, at least visually.

Gotta respect them for picking Joe of all characters for the line up. That's a deepcut stupid pick made for weirdos like me. Idk who Don Savage is though. Feels like a made up character like Sawada to get Eric Andre in the movie

God damn what a good month. I want to play all of these games. They got a real good line up here for sure

All of the titles in November I want aren't coming out on my birthday but COD is 😭. Very excited for this when it comes out. Still have a huge backlog to work through plus college existing, but I'm very excited to try the demo

@Coolmusic Not to mention Clive even lol

I thankfully bought Dragon's Crown for super cheap many years ago but still gotta finish it. Oden Sphere I tried on PS Plus but I do want to get a physical of because I did really enjoy it.

We already knew this was coming, but I couldn't help but laugh during EVO when they showed the costumes. People must of been getting real partched in the arena

@TruestoryYep Buddy it's only 2 games who's biggest issues were performance related. Capcom is not in their late 2000's to early 2010's phase again

Xbox is 100% going to try again when they can. Like I bet if they're able to they would go back and make an exception for COD this year and it would do gangbusters at $80

My boy Sajam probably popping off so hard rn

It's kinda funny this comes out after the devs say that they have big plans for GG, but I gotta wonder if true what this was and why it was cancelled since GG is at it's highest point ever in notaritaty

Bro what is going on anymore lmao

I'm still waiting to hear a sales update on Versus Rising, because that's one I feel like people have really overlooked, at least in terms of more mainstream players.

I do always like PS Plus when I get Essential and get to have a selection of games every month that I can play through, even if they aren't games I'm excited about all the time, I still claim them since even after that month, if I want to maybe play it later I can, and so I've been able to play quite a few titles I've wanted to play for a hot moment (doing that rn with BRCF and going to for KOF 15). I mainly have the problem with the service because of online multiplayer. Like as it got more expensive, and probably will get more expensive, it's just annoying I gotta pay more money to play online in games that I also paid for in order to have the complete experience to enjoy, let alone play at all in certain cases (which is why I don't buy games of the ladder camp). It's honestly the reason I sold my PS4 copy of SF6 when the Switch 2 released because I get to actually play online more in it than on Playstation since online is only $20, and I can play it anywhere.

HELLO??? BANGER MONTH ALERT???

Finally, a developer showcase made just for me

@Oram77 Tbf I think he means just on a usual basis yeah Nintendo is mainly advertising Mario Kart rn, but we have Donkey Kong coming next month, Drag X Drive coming this summer, new Hyrule Warriors coming this winter, Pokemon Legends ZA coming in October, Kirby Air Riders and Metroid Prime 4 still coming this year, the Switch 2 versions of Kirby & The Forgotten Land and Mario Party Jamboree which basically act like new DLC for those games, Splatoon Raiders which is probably coming soon, not to mention they'll have a Direct sometime soon that will announce even more games I'm sure

Oh damn. That's actually crazy Game Freak is working on a project like this. I know better than most about all of their other games they've put out in the past few years, but I didn't expect anything like this.

I wondered the same thing for the past how many years, and in the back of my head saying that a fighting game would be the easiest lay-up ever for Sony to have a good live service title. I guess all I needed was a little patience as I see they understood the assignment

And like that folks, peak has finally arrived lol

I bet people will be happy about this since it's new costumes finally, but I suspect that pricing will make people mad again like it did before lol

If this is actually true, that would actually be super cool. More 2D projects is the type of smaller titles I would want to see from Sony so I would actually be very interested in this off of principal of this is real

Considering how much bank Capcom is making, having an additional studio location is a good move to help free up resources among long-running titles and new games. SF6 definitely felt like that for people (those that had an addict itch to buy costumes lol) on the lead up to MH Wilds releasing.

Honestly makes sense they aren't super bothered by it considering their on and off support DNF Duel. Game did ok on launch, but it did kinda drop off quickly for most people but it must of sold well enough for Nexon to greenlight a Switch port and an additional year of dlc, so clearly I think they care less if these games do well, and more if it causes more people check out actual Dungeon & Fighter and get them hooked with micro transactions.

I mean I don't think the CEO stepping down is an inherent sign that the game flopped, CEO shake ups can just kinda happen at anytime. But I will say that obviously Saudi Arabia's marketing hasn't attracted as wide of an audience that this was hoping to achieve, but I will say that I don't think the game is just doomed. They still have the entire year of characters coming, the Championship they have going is still going, and EVO and EWC haven't happened yet so I bet the game could still have some momentum after launch.

NSO rollout looking mighty fine now compared to this lol

@thefourfoldroot1 For fighting games they are. These games are still alive because people have played these against one another for years competively. Having good online is a must for these games, especially even if these games were console versions, most games here would be super content light. Trust me, they're much better if you just try to play them online even casually

Oh wow they're really drip feeding Premium titles now huh. But besides that if I had extra this is a great month. Especially with GBFVSR being a huge highlight imo here, but Sand Land, Soul Hackers 2, Humankind, all games I've been wanting to try, so I would definitely say this is a quality month

I think the fact that we keep having this issue is crazy. I get PS5 has all of the fighting games people are playing and is the "easiest" to transport over a bunch of PC's but there has to be better ways to do this.

I know they probably decided on these characters far before the drama happened, but man they picked the worst time for them to have Fahk be DLC lmao

I think PS3 and maybe Vita emulation should be figured out sooner rather than later on PS5 because I think that it would good on Sony if they were able to have almost all digital PS3 and Vita games be playable right away because of your PSN Account. I think that would bring lots of goodwill, and would allow Sony to just have almost the entire PS3 PSN Catalog be sold all over again to people.

COD is 100% going to 80 there's no doubt about it. If that sells well this year, then yeah we're just going to have to get used to this if we want to buy new games.

If only people weren't using the worst arguments against this. The graphics and budget comparisons are stupid because cartoony graphics don't mean they aren't detailed, and since when have we been using large budgets as positives? I thought we wanted that to be lower for Triple A games, which Nintendo is good at. The hardcore Sony fanboys don't have a good argument here imo besides that $80 is kinda high, which Sony is going to take advantage of soon enough anyways

I don't think the game is doomed from it's slower start, most SNK games are usually a bit smaller, I just think the marketing budget is being footed by the Saudi Well-Fund big time just to try and see what they can do. Plus I bet that the game as it goes on is going to pick up more steam as it goes on with EVO and stuff. Not to mention a lot of people are now just kinda annoyed by Ronaldo and like Gannaci now.

Pretty good review in terms of the more casual side. Whenever I would get my hands on the game I would probably end up rating it a bit higher but I'm the type of weirdo that is way too into these games (obviously) so it's good to get that insight. I would say my main reservation rn is just that we don't know what the matchmaking will be like on launch, but if the second beta matchmaking is there, I think this would be a worthwhile game for more casuals to try out.

Also sorry @get2sammyb you aren't beating the Mai simp allegations based in your screenshots lol

The marketing they're putting into this is definitely super crazy. Even if it is weird and that they have access to the Saudi's oil money, I do hope it does find great success because the game is super fun and I want more fighters to be able to pierce super mainstream spaces worldwide like MK and Smash since the average person would only talk about them.

Man I'm surprised these regions got the price hike before the US. Sony's lucky they already have lots of systems in homes because once that price hike hits the US substantially, I think Playstation console sales legit might just hault. Definitely going to give Nintendo a leg up there again in terms of pricing

I don't think this is the best place to determine if Switch 2 could become a main console for people, because obviously the die hard Playstation fans aren't going to switch. The casual people that only buy the average triple A titles and stuff I think very much could make it a primary if enough major 3rd party titles come over and it keeps people to stay with them on Switch 2

Yeah these are weirs characters, but lets face it this is probably up to Saudi Arabia's influence rather than SNK. Plus not to mention that the first year of dlc characters are free does kinda make up for it, even if 2 of those characters are more guests

I think that these games simply didn't sell as well as I think they could because A. They are kinda old titles for simple PS5 ports (besides Obsidian's games) in terms of they were past their hype cycle, B. Most of them were too niche in the mainstream besides Sea of Thieves to make the previous point matter, and C. These ports got no marketing so the ones that were going to do big numbers were always the big titles that the mainstream already know about. I will say though Pentiment only selling 14k on other platforms is really bad if that's true. I feel like it just really didn't get enough attention or most people interested in it already played it elsewhere because I feel like that was one of the titles that could benefit most from going multiplatform because it was a game that just felt like it was gonna go completely ignored on Xbox. I feel like it was simply lack of marketing really on this one because I feel like it would of done pretty well for it's size at least on Switch

What timeline are we in that we get two Sony titles as key headliners in a Nintendo Showcase

@arsmolinarc He's actually on the base roster, and the first season of DLC is free with the game so really he's just another character you get to play in the game as a part of the base package.

SNK's master ploy to get people into City of the Wolves is the wackiest but honestly coolest inclusions ever. They didn't have to make him a character, let alone a base roster character, but they did it and he looks pretty cool to play as well. Hopefully this will help Fatal Fury so much.

I love how they have money to make an entire globe but not one extra disc

Ok this is a really stupid move. There's a reason basically every fighter that has throws following Super Turbo has you set back to neutral and avoids chip damage upon techning, because that makes throw, which are already strong, even stronger as you will get a reward no matter what for landing a throw. Like imagine SF6 throw loops with this, people would riot instantly

I think Sega is in a really good place right now with the stuff they still have for the future, so them taking a lighter year to build up their teams is very good. They could very well also use this to buy up another studio if they desired, which in that case I hope Sega would get LizardCube if Shinobi is successful, because they just don't stop making bangers and would probably be a greta asset for Sega to make smaller titles

Really glad to see its off to a great start, because even though I haven't been able to get into the series yet, I know the success of this game is going to allow Capcom's amazing lineup of titles to be even better and more diverse. Now if only they could help transfer this momentum into people buying and playing SF6 lol
