"This is Furukawa, president of Nintendo," Furukawa wrote. "We will make an announcement about the successor to Nintendo Switch within this fiscal year. It will have been over nine years since we announced the existence of Nintendo Switch back in March 2015.

"We will be holding a Nintendo Direct this June regarding the Nintendo Switch software lineup for the latter half of 2024, but please be aware that there will be no mention of the Nintendo Switch successor during that presentation."

SHIFT UP's action game Stellar Blade is a day away from release and there's already been some controversy that isn't sexual for a change, as Sony says it will remove in-game artwork that shows ‘hard R' due to unintentional racism.

In Stellar Blade, there's an ‘R Shop' referencing the information broker Roxanne. There's also ‘Hard' graffiti that can be found in numerous parts of the game. However, there's one instance in Stellar Blade where the graffiti and R Shop are shown next to each other, showing what appears to reference a racist slur, which Sony claims was “unintentional.”

Sony provided a statement on the matter:

“The placement of two graphics near each other in Stellar Blade resulted in an unintentional objectionable phrase. Shift Up had no intention of creating offensive artwork and will be replacing the graffiti for the Day 1 patch.”

When asked if there are any plans to remove the art from the physical games as well, a PlayStation representative said that it “Should be removed for all users in the Day 1 update.”

The patch has since gone live and the ‘Hard R' artwork has since been changed to say ‘Crime' instead:

Seethe in the comments:

All of you fricking idiots were warned! But no “It's going to be uncensored”, “It's a based game guys!” Bunch of stupid fricking weebs, weebs are fricking laughing stock.

If you're a weeb, then you're calling yourself a subhuman who has no spine whatsoever.

Where's the lie?

You cope too much cute twink. KEEP YOURSELF SAFE you cuck

Ibought two copies because i have tons of money to spend unlike you, you born poor and will die as poor lmfao enjoy working 7$/hr at fast food

America is a mistake.

The corrupt West deserves to be nuked and obliterated completely.

Eastoids still bussyblasted at a lil' bit of nuke correction.

And the idots were attacking you for stating the truth. This is why weebs are cucks. They live in their own little world like a filthy basement dweller.

!nonchuds I will remind you all that the reason why 4chan stays alive is because Hiro gets paid by research groups who want to study the link between anime and rightoid extremism.

Rightoids are beyond parody

And here's another article whining about Stellar Blade.

It's the usual over virtual cleavage so not gonna' bother with a write up.

While we're talking about Shift Up let me bring up their now dead gacha game Destiny Child. I really liked the OST the game had

Niru is a very famous MapleStory streamer who became the first person to ever reach 299 lvl. Ever since then a huge amount of people in the community have been watching his streams and waiting for him to get to lvl 300, even the devs were watching him. In his final stream, he managed to get 299 99.99% and immediately logged off the game and started shit-talking the devs right in front of 20k viewers on Twitch

What's even funnier is the fact that the official Maplestory account on Twitter had already made a tweet congratulating him

https://twitter.com/MapleStory/status/1783562860108316936

The devs even promoted the stream through in-game banner but when he started ranting the banner instantly disappeared

There were no memes about this. I never once encountered someone discussing the skin color or intellect of Erudites they were simply another race to pick from especially if you wanted to cap your INT stat.

This was 1999 and for the next decade remained immune to whatever racial dialogue was going on outside the world of gaming. We were just nerds having fun in the best MMORPG ever created.

!nonchuds what happened to the internet since then?

Enjoy this banger login music from back in the day.

Given the great vibes recently, and the millions of amazing Fallout fans (that's you!) I feel like the time is right to finally share an unknown link between Fallout 1 and Fallout 4. Remember the Fallout 1 opening movie? Annexation of Canada? SAME. GUY. (No, NOT the shooter!) 🤓 pic.twitter.com/9JNWmg7yL0

Such a weirdly unnecessary connection to make. Thinking that making sure he isn't the shooter is important is also very telling of Bethesda's writing

Remember to always check IsThereAnyDeal to see what a game's historic low is.

Fanatical also gives you a spin of a wheel for every order over $12 you spend, and a 5% off your entire order coupon for your next order regardless of order size (you get another one for every order you make, so only your first order isn't discounted). The wheel is usually a 10% off coupon, but you can also get store credit and free games. So be smart with these extras to maximize savings. Each game will have multiple prices, this is because I have done the math with the 5%, 10%, and 15% off coupons.

FLASH DEAL (which ends about 10 hours from this post going live) ICEY historic low of $3.07, great buy to get that 5% coupon imo.

The Messenger $4.99, $4.75, $4.50, $4.25. All time low of $3.99 on Stream from March 14th 2024 to March 21st 2024, wait.

Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion $2.99, $2.84, $2.69, $2.54. Was free on Epic Games Store and all time low of $1.49 on IndieGala, wait.

Before We Leave $4.39, $4.17, $3.95, $3.73. It's on sale on IndieGala right now for $3.99, all time low of $2.87 on 2game May 2022. Buy if you have a 10% coupon or better, buy on IndieGala if you don't.

Monster Sanctuary Deluxe historic low of $6.59, $6.26, $5.93, $5.60. This version has the soundtrack and art book, which are weirdly expensive normally ($9.49 and $4.99 respectively). This is actually a compelling buy if you only buy games with all the goodies.

Broforce $3.74, $3.55, $3.36, $3.18. It's on sale on Humble Store and GOG right now for $2.99 which is the all time low. Buy on Humble Store or GOG, not Fanatical.

Katamari Damacy REROLL for $6.44-$5.47. It's on sale on GameBillet right now for $4.97 which is the 2nd lowest price of all time (all time low was $4.18 on GameBillet in 2020 and seems to have been a flash deal). Buy on GameBillet.

PAYDAY 3 for $31.19. Lol

OKAMI HD $8.39, $7.97, $7.55, $7.13. All time low of $7.38 on GameBillet (however it seems like another flash deal) and is often ~$8 there. Buy if you have a 5% coupon or better, wait to buy during a sale on GameBillet if you don't.

SteamWorld Dig 2 $2.99, $2.84, $2.69, $2.54. All time low, also $2.99 on Steam if you want to be able to use the refund system. Buy on Fanatical or Steam, depending on if you have a coupon or want to use Steam's refund system.

Nova Lands $10.99-$9.34. This is an all time low, even with no coupon. However the Deluxe Edition is not on sale on Fanatical. Steam does have the Deluxe Edition for an all time low of $17.53. If you want the base game, buy on Fanatical. If you want the Deluxe Edition, buy on Steam.

Graveyard Keeper $4.99-$4.24. All time low of $3.04 on GameBillet in April 2024. Wait for sale on GameBillet.

Project Highrise $2.79, $2.65, $2.51, $2.37. All time low of $0.99 on Fanatical in 2021. Often goes on sale for less in bundles. Wait for better discount on Fanatical.

Reverse Collapse, (more like prolapse amirite?), is the latest in the new trend of gacha game devs making actual games with their overstuffed coffers filled with ill gotten gambling gold (where the prize is JPGs and not money)

The devs of this game made one called girls frontline which decided to make a fricking sequel to reset the process and bleed their paypiggies again

But that is not the subject of todays discussion, it's their current real entry getting reviewbombed.

Prolapse : The Bakery is essentially something like Fireaxis Xcom/Advance Wars/Fire Emblem, it seems solid enough for what it is. However, Chinese are mad!

One may wonder where this nonsense comes from? Fortunately, we have some context!

A character who is Chinese was given the BWC For you non virgins, what this means is GFL was known as a game without real male characters (to better let lonely scrotes insert into the gacha and pretend they had a harem of robotic slave gun girls) while this game added a male main character with an actual face and personality.

In fact, there are SEVERAL male characters now This is considered SUPER threatening to the Chinese players of the game.

Chinaman g*mers ask for help after their brave efforts in defeating the menace known as Sweet Baby Inc

But g*mers aren't having it...

In closing:

@BWC Your expertise is required here

!gacha Any context you lovely lads can provide would also be appreciated.

I get attracted to old gaymer ads like this, whenever there's a reddit post about them, because reddit soys invariably about how horrible yesteryear was

It's like Smash, but better!

Sony promises game won't require psn account -> delist the game from countries without psn

I DON'T CARE!!!!!!! WHO FRICKING CARES!!!!!!!!! WHEN HAVE ASSASSIN'S CREED GAMES EVER BEEN HISTORICALLY ACCURATE????????? WHY ARE YOU BUYING A UBISHIT GAME IN THE FIRST PLACE???????????????

LEAVE ME THE FRICK ALONE

I didn't buy it but apparently it wasn't very good even for an early access launch. RIP in peace.

Also Dean Hall, the creator of DayZ, is making a spiritual successor to KSP1?
