The Nintendo GameCube (GCN) Controller – Nintendo Classics will be exclusively available for Nintendo Switch Online members and will initially only be offered to those invited to pre-order a Nintendo Switch 2 console
Does this suggest I can buy it later or am I going to have to pay scalper price if I want it?
I think you’ll always need NSO sub if buying directly from Nintendo, but pre-order rule only seems to be because of scalpers, so that only those who can actually use it, buy it.
Hence the reason to try and get yuzu and the other emulators to stop being out there. They know theyre just hosing their customer base and needed to try and minimize the damage they will do to themselves
If you actually do enjoy this genre and want some unironic takes (and no, they are not all dating sims or erotica) take a look at !visualnovels! Also related is !otomegames, a VN subgenre: dating sims aimed at women with male love interests. For transparency, I mod the second one but not the first.
I think it’s interesting to note here that he was the Director of the first two Katamaris, Director/Designer of Noby Noby Boy, but from there on out is just a designer. I think it shows that not only does he want to work with other people but that he doesn’t necessarily want full creative control as much as he values the input from others in creative ideas.
Which also makes it a little frustrating that all the games are still marketed as “From the Creator of Katamari Damacy!” while it seems like he’s just another designer on a team and he’s happy with that. More like the businesses use him as a marketing gimmick, maybe?
That list is crazy, so many niche platforms and limited availability:
Glitch was a failed Flash based MMO, that launched as a production release, was pulled back into beta 2 months later and then closed in late 2012. During this second beta they seemed to host a virtual death cult. Its messaging framework was later rebranded as Slack
Tenya Wanya Teens was designed to tour as an art piece last exhibited in 2014
Alphabet was bundled with Experimental Game Pack 01, a promo for LA Game Space a failed incubator/exhibition space the broke up in 2018
Woorld was a mixed reality game developed for Google Tango, a tech that hasn’t seen support on a new device since 2017
Crankin’s Time Travel Adventure was developed for the Playdate and was featured in Season 1. This is still available, in fact it is a pack-in title with the Playdate.
I’ve just wish listed Wattam, its his only still available non-Katamari title that runs on a mainstream platform.
When asked who his target audience for his games was, Takahashi answered that he was. “I make games that I feel satisfied with, so I’d like people to play them if they want to,” he replied. “I guess I probably should make games while thinking about the target audience, but I’ll work on that in my next life.”
I’ve never heard of the game designer mentioned in the article or of Katamari, just wanted to mention that it must be nice having that kind of creative freedom.
His latest game doesn’t look like it’s for me, but the concept sounds original.
Call of duty zombies lead isn’t the badge of honour they think it is. That got ran into the fucking dirt with the least amount of creativity and game dev talent I’ve ever seen.
You could give him a blank check, unlimited time and he would still produce a shit game
