I'll probably sell off my AES copies once this comes out. Looks like a cool remaster and I won't have to drag my PVM into the bathroom to play while I take a shit

Finally SNK is catering to the true hardcore crowd. Every one of us here knows how much of a pain it is to get a PVM into the turd closet and back out again. Can't 1CC anything without a healthy loaf on deck.

I predictably didn't buy Shenmue 3 because it wasn't on Dreamcast. This shows what happens when you don't make games on original hardware :)

What makes you think developing a game like Shenmue 3 on a platform that's end of life is viable? At this point you can't even expect someone to own a Dreamcast.

It's this sort of delusional bullshit that plagues the hobby and brings nothing to it.

For a mobile game this actually looks way better than I expected. The gameplay is going to suck, because touchscreens are the worst, but it actually looks pretty good.

Touchscreen controls aren't bad with Metal Slug. I have the mobile ports of 1-3 and they play much more naturally with touchscreen controls than most games.

No blood. What a joke.

I know it's just some mobile piece of shit so it's inherently made for homosexuals, but even so, come on.

From what I have read about it the mobile game is being aimed at kids (no surprise there) but the main game is to be aimed at us old bastards.

That was a joke dude 😃 It links back to my original comment.

I will say as someone who owns Shenmue 2 on Xbox - not as good as Dreamcast Shenmue 2. They are just wasting their time... Halo on Atari 2600....not as good as Xbox Halo. Need anymore proof?

The damage numbers above the enemies tells me there's going to be RPG elements shoved into it, and that means it's going to be F2P, which then means "fuck your wallet" gacha bullshit.

I want to be excited for it, but I just can't if it's going to be yet another mobile game that becomes an immoral whalefest.

You just know you'll have to engage in 10 hour grinding sessions or pay $9.99 so your ROCKET LAWN CHAIR can actually kill ONE regular soldier with less than 10 shots.

my expectations are incredibly low for that title.

There's no way on earth that Tencent SNK is going to put out something that DOESN'T have in app purchases out the wazoo. :lolz:

In the coming years, we are going to see a gaming industry that will more and more cater to the booming, untapped Chinese market. Nintendo is collaborating with Tencent to make a Pokemon game that is basically for China.

Do these kind of mobile games accept Bluetooth controller support? I'm not "hip" to the kids' "mobile games."

I hear SNK is releasing a Bluetooth ButtPlug controller for this game where you just kind of swivel and bop around on it for controller inputs. Oh Japan they never cease to amaze.

The graphics for the Tencent game don't look too bad, for a mobile title. Gives me a little more confidence in the visuals of the upcoming SNK titles.

Except instead of collecting Pokémon, you’ll be collecting ethnic minorities in labor camps.
