I have an irrational fear they're going to announce that they got Cold Steel 3 through some kind of dark magic

Please no. Please.

A cool rpg from a cool rpg series

It'd be cool if they came to switch, but I doubt they'd just do CS3 by itself

edit: oh this is just general NIS related and no specifically for Switch. Still, Cold Steel for switch would be cool

I'd be surprised if Cold Steel Switch showed up here as just a month or so ago Falcom's president said they're focusing on porting Cold Steel 1&2 to PS4 over Switch.

Are you talking about a Legend of Heroes game? It's the only thing I can google that is game related and not about knives.

About your father. If it's any help, he's in the ground now. Sure, it's bad news for him. But on the other hand, it's party time for all those little worms.

Oh okay. That's nothing like the Japanese title so I was confused. I was almost wondering if that was the English title of the Metal Max series or something.

Yeah, XSEED had to localize the title because there's no English word fitting for the concept of the flash of light glinting off a blade when it's drawn from a sword so they changed it to be about the robot and gave it a dual meaning with swords in general. It was a pretty ingenious way of getting around that.

Also railroad tracks! Which fits in with Trails in the Sky referencing the primary mode of transportation in the country it's based in. It's a very nice turn of phrase.

I never even made that connection! See, this is why XSEED is great. NISA would have just called it Trails in the Flash.

Scholars are some of the most pompous and pedantic people I've ever had the joy of meeting.
Turned on the NISA stream and uh.. hrm.

"The Longest 5 Minutes" should be a 60 hour long video game about the Goku/Freiza fight on Namek. :argh:

I thought it seemed like a pretty cool concept, I'll have to keep my eye on it and see what the actual gameplay is like.

It's 2006. I am taking 276 yeti furs from the goodies hoard.
I forgot who it was but when I mentioned Rocket League looking like poo poo in handheld mode someone said the upcoming patch was adding a "quality mode" that would drop the framerate to 30fps but improve graphics, and was wondering if the current, 60fps mode would also see improvements. Sure enough:

quote:

Rocket League’s resolution in both performance mode and quality mode will be increased. In Performance Mode, the game will run at 900p docked, and 720p when handheld, targeting 60fps. The resolution will dynamically scale to keep it locked to 60fps.


In Quality Mode, Rocket League will run at native 1080p when docked, and 720p in handheld. This mode ups the quality of visual effects, but frame-rate will stay at 30fps.

That was me. Great news. It looks pretty rough now but they were probably just being extra cautious about it retaining 60fps.
