Funny thing is, out of all the disc "cleaners" we sold while I was at Gamestop, we got very few complaints about it. Make the discs look like they went through hell but the product worked.

That was Matsuda. He was replaced last year.
I suppose this is newsworthy because Kiryu's biggest splash so far has been saying they were cutting back on smaller projects.
The highlight of an excellent soundtrack, and it feels incredible with the gameplay. I love that it's not super up-tempo like it would be in some action games.
It's hard to top the inkjet printers I've owned. I still can't believe 30 years later home printer tech is not only unimproved but worse between lower quality production and squeezing people on ink costs.
Yeah, I think if the interviewer was asking questions in English, they probably would have used the term "AA" or "small" for the type of games in question.
Semantics aside, everyone here knows what Kiryu is talking about.
Hah, it does get better, but it's one of the worst offenders of the whole "20-hour tutorial" problem in gaming.
Love this one. My favorite regular battle theme from the series. That violin sings.
At this point, AliExpress is my #1 choice for anything a) made overseas anyways and b) that I don't need right away. It's usually parts or trinkets; for example, the last thing I bought was a kit to supplement my mahjong playing set.
In this case though, this feels overpriced for a used/refurbished model. If you were going to take on this much perceived risk, I'm surprised you didn't go with one $150 or less on eBay or a local exchange like Facebook Marketplace or something.
Yes, finally out of jail. I'm seeing some reports that they reduced the difficulty after player feedback. I guess "Hard" or whatever will be the original difficulty.
I'll probably get to this eventually. I was pleasantly surprised with Lost Odyssey.
The accompanying Dragon Quest I & II announcement was a surprise. DQIII is the kind of game that could sell massively in Japan, so this is likely not the last we'll see of HD-2D remakes.
I knew putting off Investigations 2 would pay off some day!
The first one's great. Recommended for fans of the series that haven't tried it yet.
Bloomtown: A Different Story caught my eye immediately when I first saw it at last year's PC Gaming Show. Beautiful, smooth sprite animations and a clear Persona influence interested me enough to finally pick up the demo yesterday when I was browsing Steam's Next Fest.
It has a somewhat slow start, but I'm sure Earthbound fans will dig the the game's Americana setting with a dash of whimsy and humor as you poke around town. Of course, things take a turn and you end up fighting demons.
There's more than a little Persona 5 in the game's battle system, with familiar music, UI, gameplay elements, and concepts like companion demons. Some of it is parody, such as slapfights to determine who gains the initial advantage in battle. Some might feel outright borrowed, such as the battle music (which is nonetheless excellent).
Like many early demos, there are bugs and rough elements I'd expect to get smoothed out. However, the overall experience was far better than I was expecting. I'm excited to get my hands on the full game.
The demo is available on the game's Steam page if you'd like to try it yourself.

This isn't an anthology like most games in this genre (or video games in general). It's a continuous narrative, like a long-running novel or TV series. Newcomers could get on board with this one, since it's introducing a new cast and location, but they'll have to go back at some point. Otherwise, they should start at the beginning (Trails in the Sky). Even if newcomers start with this one, they are going to be lost in Daybreak 2.
