I’m here to chew bubble gum and yap about Dragon Quest. And I'm all out of bubble gum… Lvl 38 | EN / 日本語OK
If I had a nickel for every time Nintendo seemingly referenced Gurren Lagann during the final boss fight in a game, I’d have two nickels! Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.
Thats not the Direct I was hoping for 🥲 C’mon, Nintendo! Your Zelda teaser wasn’t enough! I need deets!!

Jeez… The final boss of Dragon Quest 6 is some S Tier bullshit! I had to hunt Metal King Slimes (Heck Yeah!) for hours just to make it bearable, and even then I nearly had my full party wiped a couple times. Oof!
I just recently played Super Mario Sunshine for the first time in my life (despite being a GameCube kid) and boy… that game is not for me! Frustrating platforming, unclear objectives, and those weird “wavy” graphics that seriously hurt my eyes. I’m glad I played it but never again.

You can feel any kind of way about Analogue and their products, but I’d rather give them my money than a literal war profiteer.
Dragon Quest Monsters: The Withered World (titled Dragon Quest Monsters 4 in Japan) in Weekly Famitsu No. 1958.
Dragon Quest 7 was arguably one of the largest and longest JRPGs ever and it was remade recently in only one installment. Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined is pretty darn good. Just saying.

Admittedly I’m not super familiar with the Xeno series of JRPGs, but I’m really confused why people suddenly think Nintendo owns Xenosaga.
In case you missed it, the Japanese-exclusive Nintendo DS game 'Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2 Professional' is now fully playable! It builds off of the previous patch by Ceris White, with them overseeing it and covering post-game content, and adding QoL changes!
My favorite FF game (because it’s the only one that I actually finished)

"retro games" are most accurately defined as games released when you didn't have your own bills or taxes
Marc Normandin@marcnormandin.bsky.social · 4w agoIf it isn't being commercially produced anymore it's retro. Ever-shifting line no more arguments ever I'll accept my peace prize now thank you
Square Enix: “We’ve realized that Chrono Trigger is already perfect so we cancelled our unannounced HD2D Remake project.”
