Fire Emblem Fates

Every single Sega Master System game sounds like shit because Sega of America was too cheap to include the sound chip present in the original Japanese Mark III. So cheap in fact, that their entire North American marketing division was just two guys. I'd love to post an archive but it seems like everything is shitting itself for me. You can try and see if it works on your end.

It's really a miracle that they lived long enough to release the Genesis.

Those anons are fucking liars.

>>15264131

The Spore development history should be stickied at all times.

>>15264156

Is the actual game worth playing in japanese?

>>15264172

Yeah, it's a very fun Zelda style game. Imagine if Zelda games had personality, less tedious dungeons, and more fun combat and bosses.

>>15264191

Thanks, I'll add it to my backlog

Issue with Working Designs isn't simply that they shat up the scripts they handled (though that is a big issue on its own), but also fucked with gameplay parameters as well, and have cultivated a chodegargling fanbase that defends it all quite vocally. Used to see a fair amount of anons years back on cuckchan that didn't even like those sort of games (be they JRPGs or other anime styled games) under "normal" circumstances, praised Working Design's liberties with the script for making the games not simply "tolerable" to them, but actually "enjoyable" (the logic being that "accurate scripts are boring/badly written"), and the gameplay changes for making them more challenging and "rewarding" to beat. Worst thing is that Working Designs is still around under a different name (Gaijinworks), still shitting up scripts for what they handle, and using the idea that their intended audience are their former fanbase who not only expect but want such liberties to be taken as an excuse to shit up the only English versions those games will see, and tell anyone that wants otherwise "fuck you, you're not our audience; go learn Japanese if you care that much." And such scripts are usually permanently fucked here, because there's apparently not enough interest in retranslating them from fans, be it that they're already technically playable in English or the fanbase being vocal enough to make it seem like there's not enough interest (there are restoration patches for gameplay changes, at least).

Oh, and Viccy said a few years back he wishes Bamco would let him bring Idolmaster west, but also claims the series is CP and he'd have to do a lot of content removal and changes, which begs the question of why he'd even be interested to begin with.

It really says a lot that a remake of a game about as old as the Berlin Wall coming down, that was also unanimously considered the worst in the series, is better than the most recent ones with more time and money put into them than the entire series combined up to that point.

Always avoid anything from western companies or branches.

>>15264156

>>15264426

This.

Working Designs were one of the worst cancers to affect the industry. People must organize campaigns to have Gaijinworks blacklisted from the industry completely. The same way that anons alert about SJWs and denuvo in games, they must alert normalfags of games (((localized))) by Gaijinworks, and why they must be avoided.

>>15264626

Didn't they also get into Pokemon between fourth and fifth gen or something? Granted, it seemed to mostly manifest as leetspeak in opponent dialogue, but still.

>>15264646

The funny thing is that I used to see those same "praise be to Working Designs" sorts years back on cuckchan also praise companies for censoring and purging the more "weeb" elements from JRPGs and another anime-styled games (Breath of Fire IV, for instance), while their favorite company could do rewrite filled scripts with raunchiness that more than likely wasn't in the original and be given a pass for it. In retrospect it feels like a clear case of "it's okay when the west does it", while stuff that would have actually been in a game, left as is, just made them feel uncomfortable playing it, especially if living with other people at the time.

>The same way that anons alert about SJWs and denuvo in games, they must alert normalfags of games (((localized))) by Gaijinworks, and why they must be avoided.

Is WD/Gaijinworks popular with normalfags anyhow? Beyond their existing fanbase, I mean. Most of GW's games are digital only or limited physical, so it's not like normalniggers are getting exposure to such at Fucking Gamestop, and even with the PSN and such there's not that many Working Designs handled games on there, leaving the older ones either physical only for legit means of play here, or emulation based. Point being, I'm not sure "alerting normalfags" is apt to work if they don't even know of the company or the games they handle in the first place, even if WDfans do come off as having normalfag tastes and tendencies. Strikes me as better to try to inform low-experience weeaboos and JRPG fans, who aren't that deep or potentially ingrained into the cults of WD/NISA/Funi/etc yet, why various western publishers for Japanese media are shit and why to not believe what their do-it-for-free fanboys push as defense for such unprofessionalism.

>s-schizo

using leftypoly insults isn't exactly helping your case.

>>15264764

How is schizophrenia a leftypol insult, when most ovendodging "people" are schizos? You'd think they'd be afraid to say it because of its antisemitism

>>15264747

Jesus, i'm glad i went with the 360 during 7th gen, at least my console exclusive shit had zero cpu melting issues and the multiplatforms performed better.

>>15264798

the reality of the condition is secondary to the fact that in 99% of cases that i (and most folks here) have ever seen, leftykikes use insults like "take your meds" or "schizo" as some of their most-used ad-homs in all arguments.

You should take cyanide pills to fix your issue, buddy.

Crash 'N The Boys: Street Challenge was sort of a classic example, but it wasn't totally god-awful.

>removed being able to let your manager ride on the swing set

>made the graphics all gritty and ugly to make it "Westernized"

>blacked a couple teammates

Now, granted, I think the background changes are at least kinda neat, but if you looked them up and compared them to this video here and the Japanese version in general, I can't help but wonder why they at least didn't just make it easy on everyone and just change people to having t-shirts and jeans like they did River City Ransom, and just translate everything in the arena. It would've been so crisp and clean.

When did he even say anything about communism?

What is it with all these plants lately?

>>15264907

Let's just stop feeding it (you)s and hope it leaves

>>15264905

I've never seen that with the 4kids part added on. Great

>>15264907

>Super Paper Mario

Interestingly enough, I went digging through both the credits for the NA and Japanese versions a while back (JP one has English credits, for some reason if the video was anything to go by) and found absolutely nothing as to who originally wrote the script in either. Embed related.

>>15266902

Looks like they just reused the prior cover, albeit with somewhat larger art and a few more robots thrown on. Also a reminder that XS Games is still alive and kicking.

>>15268807

>Flag

For fuck's sake, I turned that off earlier.

>>15264161

It's not any worse than Awakening, and Awakening isn't that bad.

>>15264679

What i meant was exactly that. Alert normalfags (and others) about WD/Gaijin itself. Even if they don't know about it, always alert (review in online stores, and such) about who they are, their practices, and their meddling with gameplay as well as their censorship. so, even the minimal number of people that want to buy games brought by them start boycotting them and demanding a better company to work with the japanese. One that translates, and not (((localizes))).
