The acquisition makes sense for both parties, sure, but I'm still more concerned of Sonyβs plans and handling of the anime & manga side of it all then anything video game-related tbh.
I wouldn't call a purchase of Kadokawa, one of the world's big (if not the biggest) anime/manga/light novels companies, a 'smaller scale'. I get your point otherwise though.
They should honestly just get ChaosX (Project '06 creator) on board. I don't trust Sonic Team to handle a Sonic '06 remake internally all by themselves.
@N8tiveT3ch: I know you were joking but I would be genuinely intrigued to see Sakurai's take on PASBR. Too bad Nintendo wouldn't let him do anything of the sort.
Nice read. As for the fighting game question, it would be cool if it was something close to a 3D fighter (not arena), though I imagine they would just go with the same or similair style as the Ys vs. Sora no Kisek game.
I actually forgot about this show coming out soon. Meh, doesnβt sound like something I can't save watching on a rainy day.
Also, I have nearly the same question as Orpheus79V. Is this connected to the S-E trilogy, the upcoming Amazon game/shared universe project, or is it its own thing? I haven't bothered checking up the details. @get2sammyb
Can't help but feel Sega is getting over their heads with all these non-Sonic gaming movie announcements lately.
That said Iβm cautiously more positive towards this news piece, as Shinobi is atleast relatively better known (within the gaming space), compared to Eternal Champions (which is a nobody) and the movie adaptation news for it a few months back.
Sorry but I won't feel a shred of sympathy towards all people who are aware of this company's past actions and yet still naive enough to donate to this.
Nice, though somehow this pretty much felt expected.
Okay I didn't expect Ken over Ryu, but its a nice pace of change letting Ken have a playable solo crossover for once (yes Chun-Li is with him but you know what I mean), plus Terry and Ken have the same creator so there also that.
Don't feel like tuning in to this tbh.
Would love to be wrong but I'm calling it now; no first-parties, and most (if not all) announcements are just remasters, remakes and Pro updates for existing and upcoming games.π

Re: Way Past Cool! Sonic 3 Movie's Media Package Includes a Working Genesis Cartridge
A homebrew Dreamcast disc would've been more fitting imo, but this is still very nice.

@Rich33 : "but this is smaller scale"

@get2sammyb: Agreed, I feel the same tbh.
Re: Secret Level Creator Comments on Concord's Awkward Anthology Inclusion
Funny thing is that the Concord episode will be one of the more watched ones (if not, THE most watched) on the show but not for the "right" reasons.
Re: Sonic X Shadow Generations Producer Wants to Remake the Worst Game in the Series for PS5
They should honestly just get ChaosX (Project '06 creator) on board. I don't trust Sonic Team to handle a Sonic '06 remake internally all by themselves.

Re: Random: Super Smash Bros Maker Masahiro Sakurai Says He Bought a PS5 Pro Today
^^^Thats fair enough.
Re: Mini Review: Metal Slug Tactics (PS5) β Some of the Best Tactics Since Into the Breach
Thanks for the review. Sounds like this is one of the better MS spin-offs which is good.
Re: Random: Super Smash Bros Maker Masahiro Sakurai Says He Bought a PS5 Pro Today
@Deadlyblack : This one right?

His collection still impresses me to this day.^^

Re: SEGA Is Bringing Back Its Iconic Virtua Fighter Franchise for PS5
About darn time. Hopefully its not a live-service as some few rumors have suggested.
Re: Ready Your Rizz for PS5, PS4 Dead or Alive Dating Game on 6th March
I can imagine this game having atleast a few future crossover collabs (Iβm so not looking at Stellar Blade right now, wink wink).
Re: PS5, PC Flop Concord Never Returning, Studio Closed Down
Concord will go down in the (gaming) history books but not for any good reasons...

Not surprising, but still a disappointment.
Re: Rumour: Rayman Remake in Development, Former Prince of Persia Devs Involved
If true, then color me interested. I have missed seeing that limbless son of a gun in his own game again for a long time now.
Re: Metal Slug Tactics Not Far Away with 5th November PS5, PS4 Release Date
Good to know the release date, I won't get this at launch but I play it eventually.

Thanks for the review, sounds pretty much what I expected. Looking forward to it.
Re: Interview: Falcom President Talks All Things Trails, Daybreak 2, and Kai in Our Biggest Interview Ever
Nice read. As for the fighting game question, it would be cool if it was something close to a 3D fighter (not arena), though I imagine they would just go with the same or similair style as the Ys vs. Sora no Kisek game.
Re: Acclaimed PS5 Platformer Astro Bot Really Couldn't Be Selling Any Better
Always glad to see the game doing well. The Astro Bot IP deserves this.

Re: PLAY, the Last Bastion of PlayStation Print Media, Has Reached Its Final Issue

Re: Bandai Namco's Big Cross-Media Bet Synduality Kickstarts PS5's 2025
I don't mind the common, typical 'round' (for a lack of better word) robot design but something about these are just unappealing.
Re: Here Comes Two New Challengers! Ken, Chun-Li Join Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves
Nice, though somehow this pretty much felt expected.
Okay I didn't expect Ken over Ryu, but its a nice pace of change letting Ken have a playable solo crossover for once (yes Chun-Li is with him but you know what I mean), plus Terry and Ken have the same creator so there also that.

Re: Movie Shadow Is Coming to Sonic X Shadow Generations in December DLC on PS5

Re: Rumour: Concord Cost $400 Million, Sony Believed It Was the 'Future of PlayStation'
Honestly, if true this is just heartbreaking as a PlayStation fan to see how low Sony has fallen.
Even without that in mind its still sad to see Sony having waste so much time and money on this project.
