@AdamNovice Yeah, he was talking about this last night on his stream. He does mention that games like Mortal Kombat wouldn't work, since they tend to sell very well, due to the name and everything (plus MK games tend to hold up value, as they offer a lot of content, like Story Mode or even the Krypt). Smaller titles, though, like maybe Virtua Fighter or the recent DNF Duel, could probably work as free-to-play. I do wonder if a lot of the criticisms that Street Fighter 5 faced at launch would've been lesser if it was free-to-play.
Former industry veteran leaves their old studio, goes on to form a new studio, then proceeds to boast they are "working on a game unlike anything you have ever played before."
You see this all the time from these people, then they eventually release their game and it's like every other game out there. I understand that he wants people to take notice of this new studio and everything, but don't start trying to hype a game you can't show yet (people will inevitably do this anyways).
@Americansamurai1 Resident Evil 4 Remake comes out like two months after this new date for Forspoken, so I doubt it will overshadow it much. Now, it might get slightly overshadowed by the Dead Space Remake, which comes out that same week.
@GADG3Tx87 The Switch was last reported at 107 million back in March, straight from Nintendo as a source. That was coming from 103 million previously, so a 4 million increase since the last report from them. They seem to do updates every quarter, so I highly doubt they sold almost 16 million consoles in a three month span. I imagine the Switch is probably somewhere close to 110 million right now. I see it easily passing the Game Boy, but I don't think it will dethrone either the DS or PS2.
I have a feeling we will see the Persona Dancing games coming to more platforms, instead of the actual RPGs. While I would love to see Persona 3 and 4 coming to PS4 and other platforms, Atlus has been weird with its ports.

Re: PSP Remake Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness Levelling Up PS Plus Premium in Japan
This is an interesting choice, since Disgaea 1 Complete is already on the PS4 (not sure if that's on the PS+ service).
Re: MultiVersus Trophy List Looks Like a Massive Grind for the Platinum
This sounds like a trophy list that will be boosted a lot by trophy hunters.

Re: Mini Review: Tekken 2 (PS1) - Broken and Awkward, But Still a Classic Fighter
I've heard Tekken 3 might have some licensing issues, because of Gon being included in the game, but no one knows for sure.
Re: Disgaea 6 Complete Demo Is Out Now on PS5, PS4
I just hope this version of the game runs better than the Switch version, which was a bit underwhelming, in terms of performance.
