Looking back a Crystal Crisis, Nicalis' Puzzle Fighter ripoff wdym there are 3 characters from an "unnanounced Nicalis title" that hasn't been announced yet, this came out in 2019??????????????????????????????

The line-up also features four newly-created characters from other Nicalis games in development, three of whom are appearing for the first time anywhere in Crystal Crisis:
* Helen – a noble warrior inspired by Greek mythology (also appearing in Blade Strangers)
* Hunter – a whip-wielding vampire killer
* Elise – a bat-winged gothic vampire girl
* Ninja – a mysterious and acrobatic shinobi

I will forever be bitter about the fact that one of their earliest "comeback" games, the Getsu Fuma Den reboot released on early-access and was abruptly ended *despite of having planned content in the roadmap and artbook* and completely abandoned when reviews criticized that wasn't enough content🙄

And don't give me the "it's too niche with a short self life" because WarioWare: Get It Together! (an experimental one-off in the franchise) came out the same year, sold half as many copies as Dread and they're still selling physical

I can understand the collector's edition but could they seriously not have kept a first-party game in stock more than a year after launch?? Worst of all is that Nintendo actually approves there being an exploitative second hand market for their games 🥱

When you read through his comments in the Mega Man Official Complete Works book you get the impression he was longing for the early days of the franchise and this reflects on projects like remaking the NES games to a return to the 8-bit graphics Even MN9 for him was treated as MM1 dev team reunion

Ah yes, that 8-bit Legends 3 prologue fangame is so spiteful, fans are so toxic for making it to piss Capcom off grrr If it's an oblique reference to Mighty No.9 (which surely is) then he should find a new strawman at this point 🥱

I think he hates the fans specifically based on his own experiences, which is fair enough, but trying so hard to connect everything to gamergate it's a reach Worst thing is how he has a hard-on towards people who make fangames as "cynical and resentful" which is a very moronic thing to say 🤨

when you think about it, air man has effectively suplanted guts man as the defacto robot master cameo (often joked as being dr. wily's favorite) after the 2010s

To me that's kinda part of the issue: as a community we *know* who this person is but no one wants to actually call them out by name because they aren't so much "problematic" but annoying and thus they continue to have these bizarre rants on unsuspecting people while everyone watches from a distance

looking back at devil summoner: soul hackers, it's amazing how much it gets right about online spaces (especially the now-defunct idea of a metaverse) for a game release in 1997

And I'm starting to suspect that even Portal 1 only had a far grittier aesthetic because it was trying to force a connection with the Half-Life universe, which the second game was eager to ditch both in the 1950s F-Stop prequel and the final game taking place 50,000 years after the events of the OG🤷

Deep Weeb @deepweeb.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

Looking at the Portal 2 prototypes makes me think about how Valve fans are always saying "it was grim and dark in the beta" but throughout the many different builds from the very beginning it was largely-comedic in tone; quirky characters like Cave Johnson and personality cores were already in place

Thinking about how the Sonic Boom show tried to reference the "PINGAS" meme, but it falls completely flat because it misunderstands that what made it funny isn't just the phrase "snooping as usual, I see" itself but the delivery causing an auditory illusion of Robotnik saying another word for penis.

I will never understand the need to put cel-shaded anime characters in enviroments with flat photo-realistic textures (it's even worse if said textures are low-res and badly filtered)

The PSX recompiler tool makes a more than reasonable against it's use. Too many people who don't know the first thing about programming/no any interest in learning all of the sudden think they're programmers too because the machine codes for them🥱(they think that because "it works" it's good enough)

At the very least they're actually remaking the CGI rather than just slopify it like they did with James Pond But even then it all just reeks of "graphic design is my passion" 🤢

No idea about that but Jake Kaufman does still makes music, not only for videogames but also TV shows now (OK K.O., Mao Mao, Gameoverse) I personally find extremely suspicious how he made music for WF one last time before the pandemic and then never again but does music for Yatch Club w/o fail 🤷

Really the game was good enough at launch, imho I don't think any of the post-launch updates (aside of both Classic modes) were particularly high-quality And the roadmap was constantly shuffled for years and years + additions that weren't part of the stretch goals somehow being added before those🤨

(Also, they promised 8-bit music for Classic Mode by Ippo Yamada and Jake Kaufmann. Ippo only made one orchestral song for the main game and most of the music for Curse of the Moon, but Jake completely flaked out from the deal. Probably the moment Wayforward became involved)

The moment where everything falls apart is how the environments are super-detailed and photo-realisitc, but the vast majority of minor characters and enemies still have very stylized proportions and/or simplified materials, looking like action figures vs. the dress-up porcelain dolls that is Link
