Ace Combat 8 survey form has this part that's gonna totally give BN ideas for new online emblems & liveries (like how AC Infinity had Area 88 & SBYamato collabs for example) But can't help but feel like I end up making a new SRW wishlist here

Ace Combat 8 is pretty much set to become my personal GOTY of 2026 +Phenomenal soundtrack as always +Campaign story is very touching +Online mode is basically AC Infinity without fuel shenanigans A few Qs about the plane roster, but they'll surely add more in the coming months

I guess this means we need to contact respective local orchestra groups so that they could collab with Bamco to hold Ace Combat orchestra concerts then?

This is yours truly who had an opportunity to access DW3 Remastered ahead of time and also write a review of it. IMHO it's a good remaster for those who want to revisit the now-classic entry, although there are a few points that still nagged me a bit.

Dynasty Warriors 3 Complete Edition Remastered does a good job of bringing back a classic with a fresh coat of paint and new features, but it has a few quirks holding it back. Our review: https://www.respec.net/review/235-dynasty-warriors-3-complete-edition-remastered-review

Top row: How I came to like J-Pop & study Japanese because JP releases had cool opening songs and EN versions had nothing in place back then Middle row: How my net name came to be Bottom row: How I built my presence in the internet's gaming community #My9Games

One more KT game I tried out at TGS '26, but it also turned out there's an entirely different public demo temporarily available rn, so the latter impressed me more & I'm already looking forward more to WL2 over Nioh3 now

My first impression of Gundam RO's demo: an action game more closely inspired by Armored Core over Gundam Breaker Gonna be interesting to see how the game's full story unfolds since it is coming out (March) earlier than the Gundam RG: Xarx-Zero anime (April)

Playing the TGS 2026 demo helped me rejog memories of the original PS2 release of DW3, remastered with modern graphics and some elements from DW Origins.

Recap of the DW3 Remastered streams on TGS2026 public days www.youtube.com/watch?v=ie8n... Q1. What are the detailed highlights in this remaster? A1. Check the Sounds which are updated with higher qualities, such as the new war cries happening inside warzones

Also BTW Bandai Namco is the very first booth from press entry, so that totally gave me the chance to try out the AC8 demo before it got packed

The DW3R spot allowed for photos in TGS booth features a slideshow of all the playable characters in the game Of course I had a chance to try its Hulao Gate stage demo, but the impressions will only be available later somewhere

TGSよ、私は帰ってきた

A trip to Japan really feels incomplete if you haven't visited an arcade game center

Time to make this public: Barring a 1% chance of volcanic disruption, yours truly is 99% going to Tokyo next week and visit TGS 2026 business days in person! The last time I went there was in 2018 so there may be quite a few things changed from before

TIL it turns out that the cake called Onde Onde in Malaysia is better known in Indonesia as Klepon Since it's the same term that refers to entirely different cakes in these neighboring countries, no wonder people on the other side like me would get confused at first glance The more you know

More plot twist: Turns out the Ondeh Ondeh game is being developed by the Metronomik studio from Malaysia ...but then why wouldn't it be titled Kuih Bom instead? Because the latter would literally mean Bomb Cake?

Moment of realization that Koei Tecmo is attempting a new jab at the Ace Attorney genre after they previously did Saihai no Yukue, except this time with an Apothecary Diaries collab to boot

For those wondering: Gaoshun in Apothecary Diaries does have the same hanzi name as the ROTK general Gao Shun (高順), but Guanyu does not - his hanzi (冠宇) is totally different from the famous Three Kingdoms-era general's (関羽)
