Kamiwaza is finally out in English after... 15 or so years?
Go and get you some on Switch, PS4, or Steam...

I can’t believe it. For people that don’t know, my profile picture is from a manga about the life of the guy who developed this game lol. Never in a million years did I think they’d bring this...
Hello again cool cats. As always, hoping for a swift end to the pandemic. With any luck, I’ll only have to do one more of these!
Densha de Go!! Hashirou Yamanote-Sen:
So I played so much of this that I got completely burnt out on it. It’s still awesome, but I have scrubbed the content top to...
Shortly after buying Marvel VS Capcom: Infinite, my d-pad busted (not the first time, the Dual Shock 4 is garbage), and I didn't have any replacement parts on hand, so I swapped the contact pad out for the DS3 one (does not fit properly, but allows the rest of the control to function without...
This virus needs to end, it has ruined people’s lives and taken away something that makes people happy from everyone.
That being said, more video games :/
Yakuza 6: I originally wanted this just to play the final (although maybe not based on recent news) Virtua Fighter game, but enjoyed the...
The virus is terrible, it needs to end now, destruction of society is imminent.
I did get to play some games though, despite working about 13 hours every day and working out the rest of the time:
Trials of Mana:
-Great for nostalgia
-Gets too easy towards the end, stakes don’t feel as high as...
Haven’t had time for games in years due to work. Spent what little free time I had hanging out with friends and traveling for friends’ weddings and parties and stuff. Saved so much money I can literally do anything I want now, live anywhere I want (have a job where I can be 100% remote all the...
I had to work through the weekend, but grabbed the Samurai Shodown demo to play in downtime. It was very frustrating both because of the input lag and the nature of the game - seemingly simple and slow. Determined to learn the game and not be a scrub, I kept at it, and eventually learned the...
Back in 2005, Namco released a game called Urban Reign, which was something like a streets-of-rage style brawler-meets a watered down version of Tekken. To put it in a better light, the game used all of the resources from Tekken 5 (animations, textures, etc.) to make a more technical brawler...
-Gundam VS released without a 2-player local co-op mode (something which has been in every other title in the series except for the Dreamcast port of the arcade game).
-Online is dead within a month of release.
-The game drops about $5 retail every month since release, one of the quickest...
note: I apologize for any typos, I wrote this all on my Kindle tablet with its awful autocorrect
OK, obviously I didn't have to buy a PS4, but the situation was like this - I'd had a PS3 for about 6 years, and has collected (digitally!) nearly every fighter for the system. Good collection of...
Etrian Oddysey V.
OK, granted it came out in 2016, but I hadn't played it until now (I'm sure the same holds true for many for Persona 5 - the game is ancient history for me, but for some people it's their GOTY).
I hate dungeon crawlers. They're abusive, obnoxious, boring, etc. etc.
While EOV...
There Are No Bad Fighting Games
==Part 3: The Fine Line Between Cheap and Free==
Hopefully I've made the case that fighting games have shed the shackles of the soulless cash grabs and sloppily implemented control schemes of the early 90s, and that with a little understanding and a bit of...
There Are No Bad Fighting Games
==Part 2: Why All Fighting Games Are Good==
A lot of people I know that are really into video games are into nearly every genre (racing and sports tend to be exceptions). Fighting games, however, tend to be a bit divisive in that there seem to be some people that...
There Are No Bad Fighting Games
==Part 1: There are bad fighting games==
That is to say, there were bad fighting games. Back in the days when arcades a) still existed internationally and b) didn't have anything to prove. Entertainment was entertainment and nobody needed to be scientific about...
So even though I've all but given up on newfangled games (to be honest, everything since The World Ends With You feels like old-hat, retreads of tried and true formulas, or just minute curiosities compared to the incredible innovation we saw in the mid-to-late 2000s), I often check out Good Old...
It's finally here, the moment I've been waiting for for 7 years... PERSONA 5 IS OUT!!!
This marks the end of video games for me. I'd be happy to continue work on my "learn Japanese... video games" thing, but for right now I'm going to focus on other things (well, actually just Mahjong), as well...
I just finished Gladiator Begins for PSP after what... 3 years? Like many Acquire games, the regular story is only about 4 hours long, but it's filled with brutal swordplay and people grunting in lieu of real voice acting. Gladiator Begins is a semi-sequel to the old PS2 game Colosseum: Road to...

Backgrounds! Kotaku does stupid crap like this all the time, and for some reason it's these terrible articles that get the most hits. :closedeyes:
Kensou and Li Xiangfei present...
This is sad. This is pretty much the only stage in KOF 99' that had characters in the background.
Perfect...
- No one is chatting at the moment.
