We’re here with more insight and opinions on the gaming world, this time focusing in on the strife NSFW creators are going through on itch.io thanks to payment processors. Plus, the Vshojo debacle, John finished Donkey Kong Bananza, Lilith loves to hate Shodan in System Shock, Crystal is playing very old games again, and Nikolas gets John’s goat with Smash Bros. opinions.

The post VGCC Episode 375: Among Us Sussy Mobile appeared first on Gamesline.

The stream started with the reveal of Kazuya Mishima as a Smash Bros fighter. He has all of his Tekken moves and sweet kicks and electrics, so Smash truly feels like a fighting game crossover. Ryu, Terry, and Kazuya all in one game! That’s rad. There will be a gameplay showcase with Sakurai on the 28th.

Life is Strange Remastered and New Colors are coming to Switch. Finally, you can be an empath on the go.

Super Monkey Ball is getting a remaster collection, compiling the first three titles (1, 2, and Deluxe) into one big bundle. Banana Mania is dropping October 5th.

Mario Party Superstars is a collection of N64 Mario Party boards with modern gameplay. There’s even an online mode that lets you join random people online instead of just playing solo if you don’t have local/online friends available. Superstars launches October 29th.

Metroid Dread is real. It’s a cheap pop, sure, but I sure did hoot and holler so they won. This’ll be a new 2D Metroid made by both the original Metroid team and Mercurysteam, and there’s an evil robot that’ll hunt you down throughout the game! It looks sick as hell and I’m very much looking forward to a new 2D Metroid. Dread drops October 8th.

New Warioware! This one is based around joycon movements and has multiplayer minigames as well. The whole classic cast will be back working for Wario and the game releases September 10th.

Shin Megami Tensei V got a new trailer, and folks, the protag is hot. The entire Twitter feed was celebrating how “GNC” they look, and good for y’all! I’ll say the gameplay looks like SMT, which is also very good, and I’m looking forward to convincing demon bastards to die for me on November 12th.

With maybe the funniest game title this year, Danganronpa is coming to Switch in the Decadence collection. A physical version with four games (1, 2, and V3 plus a new spinoff game called Danganronpa S: Ultimate Summer Camp) will release later this year, with each game releasing separately on the eShop. There will also be a big special edition with bonus posters and the like.

The Wii U Fatal Frame game, Maiden of Black Water, will be coming to Switch…and PS5, PS4, and the Xbox consoles. The Wii U is now a Xenoblade Chronicles X machine and nothing more. I mean, unless you’re gonna ha-…ahem.

Advance Wars is back with a remaster of the first two games. Yeah it’s not pixel art, but I personally like the art style and I’m excited to see if this’ll lead to a new game! Full price is maybe too much of an ask, too. I dunno, we’ll see when the remake collection hits December 3rd.

The showcase ended with a Zelda roundup, mentioning the Skyward Sword port, the Age of Calamity expansion pass (first wave hitting June 18th, second wave in November), a Zelda Game and Watch that has Zelda 1, 2, and Link’s Awakening (not DX? alright?) releasing November 12th. At the end, there was another “Sequel to Breath of the Wild” trailer that sure looks like BotW but they’re claiming it’ll come out in 2022. I doubt this! But we’ll see.

Overall this Direct whipped! Thanks. There was also a new Super Robot Wars game shown in the Japanese Direct so I’ll put that trailer here so you know I’m a realhead.

Plus here’s the entire Direct to see everything I didn’t mention.

John’s been digging into the new Smash Ultimate character while Spencer’s been digging hard into Destiny 2 and Genshin Impact. Rose goes deep into Neptunia Virtual Stars, Eternal Return: Black Survival, and the House in Fata Morgana sequel.

The post VGCC Episode 279: Big Gulp appeared first on Gamesline.

They opened with Overwatch on Switch, because they have to open with the weakest news. Whatever. It’s coming October 15th if you’re still interested, and sorry I’m cracking on your game, but c’mon.

Next, there was a little new information on Luigi’s Mansion 3. They showed a few new themed floors like a pyramid, a disco floor, and a pirate floor. There’s also a 4 v 4 battle mode for catching ghosts and gathering coins. Luigi’s Mansion 3 drops October 31st.

Return of the Obra Dinn is getting a Switch port, releasing this fall. Nothing else to say except hey, that’s a great game and I’m glad it’s getting released on Switch!

Game Freak’s new non-Pokemon title, Little Town Hero, got its time to shine. The combat seems a bit bland, with standard rock-paper-scissors play and some janky UI, but the music is being done by Toby Fox of Undertale fame, so it’s got that going for it. The twist for this title is that it all takes place in one town, as the residents aren’t allowed to leave. Little Town Hero releases October 16th.

Tokyo Mirage Sessions, the solid Fire Emblem and Shin Megami Tensei (okay, mostly Persona, but I digress) crossover, is getting airlifted with a Switch port after getting stranded on Wii U. The new Encore edition will have new music and some new playable characters and is releasing January 17th, 2020.

Swery65 has returned to Francis York Morgan, as Deadly Premonition 2: A Blessing in Disguise was announced. York, as well as a new character named Aaliyah Davis, will be tackling a brand new case that is related to the events of the first game. DP2 will come out in 2020, but a port of the original is out right now on Switch.

Pete Hines from Bethesda appeared on the Direct, announcing that Doom 64 would be released on Switch November 22nd. This isn’t just the an N64 version of Doom, but is instead a completely separate Doom game cut from the same cloth as the original two.

Some new Pokemon Sword and Shield news hit, with details on new ways you can interact with your Pokemon. You can set up camp anywhere in the overworld, and while in the camp, you can interact with your party Pokemon and cook curry for them. Players can even visit other players’ camps while travelling and play with their Pokemon. There were also new customization functions shown off, so you can really deck your trainer out instead of picking between four haircuts and ten shirts. Plus, new Pokemon, such as Polteagiest, a teapot Ghost-type that has the ability Weak Guard. Cramorant was also introduced, which is a Water/Flying Pokemon that gets to attack again after using Surf or Dive by launching a fish from its mouth with its effect Gulp Missile.

Finally, Super Nintendo games are coming to Switch Online. Luckily, the price isn’t going up, so count your blessings there. Twenty SNES titles are dropping tomorrow:

• Super Mario World
• Super Mario Kart
• The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
• Super Metroid
• Stunt Race FX
• Kirby’s Dream Land 3
• Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island
• Star Fox
• F-ZERO
• Pilotwings
• Kirby’s Dream Course
• BRAWL BROTHERS
• Breath of Fire
• Demon’s Crest
• Joe & Mac 2: Lost in the Tropics
• SUPER E.D.F. EARTH DEFENSE FORCE
• Super Ghouls ‘n Ghosts
• Super Puyo Puyo 2
• Super Soccer 
• Super Tennis

Nintendo is also releasing a Super Nintendo controller for the Switch, and this time it’s a standard USB controller that can also work wirelessly. For 30 USD, it better be really nice, because you can get an 8bitdo controller for about that much that’ll also work on PC and other consoles. Also, it’s only available if you’re an online member!

Both Jedi Knight games are getting ported to Switch, and they’ll both have online multiplayer. Currently only Jedi Outcast has a date (September 24th), but they are both coming out. I promise

An extensive Animal Crossing: New Horizons trailer was shown, detailing the crafting mechanics, money-making ventures, and hey, you can make curved paths and move tress without chopping them down in this one. New Horizons releases March 20th, 2020.

To round out the main Direct, Nintendo announced a full remake of Xenoblade Chronicles, called the Definitive Edition, running on the sequel’s engine. The remake is due next year.

If you want to see the rest of the Direct, here’s the full thing!

On the Japanese side of things, it was announced that the cult classic PS1 game “Moon” will be finally heading westwards. Plans to release Moon in the west fell through in 1997 and none of the other games by developer Love-de-lic were ever exported afterwards. Since then, however, it developed a cult following as an “Anti-RPG”.

You may be wondering where the Smash news is. That gets its own section. It was revealed that Banjo and Kazooie, the third DLC character, will be released tonight. Also, the fourth character was announced, and surprise surprise, it’s Fatal Fury’s Terry Bogard.

Later, during the Banjo and Kazooie detailed reveal, Sakurai announced the music and detailed how Banjo played. Alongside the new character, there were some new costumes for the Mii Fighter and one of them, I swear to god, is Sans from Undertale. Not only that but buying the Sans costume gives you a brand new remix of Megalovania made by Toby Fox. Also hey, Home Run Contest. The entire thing is worth a watch, because Masahiro Sakurai is a baller.

And that’s it, how’d you like the Direct?
