Yeah I was watching those F40 novel pencil arts, and last I saw both were at 91000.

I was in on the Raika cloning lab picture up to about 6500 yen but lost interest after someone boosted it from something like 7500 to 86000 in one shot. I thought for sure someone had made a typo and added a zero they didn't mean to, but then the bidding war continued further.

Since it was well outside my price range, I focused on my chase for the Carrera/Ratty drawing (which I liked better anyways) and tapped on it out around 12500 yen - I think it finished 45000 range.

Me neither. My recollection is that it was one of the harder games to get access to. I think I got a cd image once and got as far as the title screen, but either the actual game wouldn't work or the gameplay was something inscrutable without decent Japanese comprehension. In the end I just got downloads of the video clips, likely from here somewhere.

I think it's from one of the Gokurakus.

Edit: Yeah, found it. Gokuraku Red. I'd attach the video, but seems I only have it in WMV form which isn't allowed as an attachment.

Edit: Maybe this will work? It's a pretty low quality rip to begin with and I'm not used to converting video files, but it's what I got.

Anyone know where this is from?
maybe I just don't remember, but I can't recall this scene from the games.

I played KotOR back in the day on the og xbox. Never finished it, but i enjoyed what i played of it. Bloated save sizes are a thing for all the big western RPGs. Looking at you, Bethesda.

I've had a mild curiosity to check out Kingdom Hearts since it seemed like the spiritual successor to Mana/Seiken Densetsu.

Metroid Prime 1 was such a revelatory experience for me back in the day. The music, the gameplay, the exploration... fps games never gave me that sense of wonder, but MP1 made me see the genre in a new light.

Brothership makes me happy that the M&L franchise is alive and well. Paper Mario never gelled with me, but M&L was closer to what i wanted, which was basically more SMRPG. Crossing my fingers for a real SMRPG sequel someday.

I'm actually more disappointed in the April Direct bit than anything else. I was psyched to see the big blowout in February, and a launch in April or May. Now everything is pushed back two more months. That means at least two more months of low-interest* Switch 1 fillers, and at least one if not two or more fewer months of very exciting Switch 2 games.

* I'll give them credit that Xenoblade X is a great game to renew from Wii U/3DS era though. Far superior to Donkey Kong Country Returns Returns Again or the rumored Kirby Planet Robobot. When XCX first came out, all they had was one Xenoblade game behind them and the sharp contrast between XC1 and XCX was jarring. Now that they have many games in the universe, the wider concept is easier to understand. XCX never should have been released before XC2 and can be much more appreciated now than in 2015. The concept was just too much of an overreach for its time.


The investors don't seem to be very impressed either, with three days of stock price drops since the reveal. They've been led on about Switch 2 launching in 2024, then told to expect it early in FY2025, and now they're seeing an April date to even show it off for the first time, and still no solid release window. They want to see big profits from the new system and I think some of them are starting to get tired of this "not soon but someday" approach. Keep in mind that were this not the holiday quarter that just passed, this would have been Nintendo's worse three month stretch in a long time. They had no Pokemon game at holiday, and the three games they did have November, December, and January, are all very low selling. (October better, but one ten million seller in the year is several ten million sellers too short.) The holiday console sales helped rescue it, but they don't get that benefit in the coming quarter. The February-April timeframe is looking very grim. Xenoblade X is not going to be that big of a big seller, it doesn't even look like they'll have a February game short of a digital-only shadow drop, and we don't know what they've got for April. Investors want certainties. With so little to offer, short-term investors are pulling out, and the longer-term investors need some reassurance they aren't waiting until October or November to start seeing profits. It really won't help when they go into this February investors meeting, and see Nintendo revise downward the fiscal year units sold estimate again, closer to 10.5 million units, when they just revised it downward from 13.5 to 12.5 million in November.
