Atlus considering reprint of Radiant Historia

Thu, 02 Feb 2012 21:46:32 +0000

http://www.destructoid.com/atlus-testing...0958.phtml

I've previously said that Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective was the best DS game of 2011. If that's true, Radiant Historia is the second best. This game was received VERY well, but suffered the typical Atlus habit of not making many copies. Because of the quality and scarcity of this game, it's near impossible to get a copy for less than $100. I bought it at release for $30 (and got a soundtrack with it), and it was fantastic.

If this game goes to a reprint, everyone should get it.

Tool Assisted Brawl Match

Tue, 31 Jan 2012 20:49:56 +0000

A Tool-Assisted Speedrun is when a player uses a third-party program to slow down a game and play it frame by frame. Not a single mistake is ever made, because you have an infinite amount of time to decide what to do and then do it for every small movement you make.

So what happens when you have to players using the program against each other?

READ THE MANUAL 24 HOUR CAST 2012

Fri, 27 Jan 2012 20:21:16 +0000

Well, like I said on the Elevator stream and on my Twitter last night, if three people successfully guessed the topic for this year's 24 Hour Cast I would announce it to everybody and finally end the suffering we seem to have put quite a few people through.

For those who are new to the forums and don't exactly know what the hell I'm talking about, let me give a quick explanation: Ben and I host a podcast called Read The Manual (the thread is here) and last year we did a 24 Hour Cast themed around Pokemon to celebrate the release of Pokemon Black/White. We played Pokemon games, listened to Pokemon Music, riffed the anime, etc all live for a full 24 hours.

Well, later after it was over we decided to make this an annual thing. After speaking about it with the hosts of Games & That Podcast (some friends of ours) we have agreed to team up and do this year's 24 Hour Cast together. Ben began releasing monthly hints, purposely made hard as all hell so that people couldn't easily figure them out.

Well, now three people (ZeroRanma, KindKing01, and MajorMoses) have figured out the topic successfully! THE TOPIC FOR THIS YEAR IS...

SONIC THE HEDGEHOG

That's right! We're gonna be doing a Sonic themed 24 Hour Cast this year as a team up with Joe, Christian, and Clay from Games & That Podcast!

Let me just give you a rundown of some of the activities we have planned right now:

- Live Riffing of Sonic X, Sonic Underground, Sonic SatAM, The Adventures of Sonic The Hedgehog, and the Sonic Movie.
- Full playthroughs of the original games
- Making Ben play Sonic 06, even for just a few hours
- Guest appearances that I can now finally start asking about
- SONIC R

And even more to come as we go on and plan even MORE!

No fully decided on date as of yet, but it is looking like it will be near the end of May. Possibly the week before camp starts, I shall keep you informed.

If you'd like to know what the clues mean, go to http://www.bakosy.com and look at the side bar, Ben has put up the answers.

tl;dr EVERYBODY'S SUPER SONIC RACING TRY TO KEEP YOUR FEET RIGHT ON THE GROUND, RTM IS SUPER SONIC RACING WE DON'T GOT TIME TO LOOK AROUND

Nintendo Network announced, real user accounts for WiiU, New 3DS Mario game announced and a ton of sales figures and plans, as well as 200 3DS games and an updated release list... Wow I've got to say Nintendo network ,( and how they want to integrate it with WiiU,) Looks good. Right now the 3DS Mario looks like more New Super Mario Bros and that means I don't care.

Game-related Merch Thread

Thu, 26 Jan 2012 02:46:30 +0000

So, as lovers of this genre we call games, I'm sure we all like the assorted merchandise as well! What awesome posters might you have? Is there a statue you got your eyes on? Whatever it is, discuss it here!

I'll open this thread up with a figure I have my eyes on. Ohh bby, starting off with sexy Samus action!

Episode 102 (01/21): Three Months Later

Sun, 22 Jan 2012 01:54:18 +0000

IN THIS EPISODE:
SOPA/PIPA, Your Smash Fix, and Headline Recaps are discussed. Also, Katawa Shoujo and Indie Game Bundles in the Soapbox segment, Kinect use in Mass Effect 3 is our Hilarity of the Weak, and much more! Super is at a last-minute Smash tournament, so he is unable to join us this week. This week's Thought involves five games that the hosts will attempt to beat by year's end. Youko, TheBuzzSaw, and TonyTH break down the latest news from the gaming world!

Ep. 102 Details

Thu, 19 Jan 2012 02:39:44 +0000

Has it really been since late October 2011 since our last NORMAL episode? Wow, we are so excited to be back!

SMYN: Episode 102
SATURDAY, JANUARY 21st
5:00 PM Eastern (2 PM Pacific, 21:00 GMT)
GUEST: (no guest)

We obviously will have lots to discuss regarding what we've been playing. Also, we'll probably touch a bit on how SOPA/PIPA affects games. What stories have caught your eye, though? It's been quite some time, so if there is anything you want to hear us discuss, let us know!

We're going to try forgoing Mailtime this week. For the past while with our current structure, it has seemed as if Mailtime was something extra and almost unnecessary for the show. So, we're going to move the "Thought" to the end of the show and have that be a way for users to suggest ANY kind of topic of their choosing. If you happen to have an idea for one, feel free to share.
