In this episode, gamewizard65 and Alaska_Gamer make their podcast debut! Along with Paleo_Orca and, sigh, Guillaume, they discuss Operation Rainfall and the weird publishing decisions of Nintendo, preferred graphical styles, Ocarina of Time 3DS and other remakes, and sim games (mostly of the "god game" variety).
As usual, the theme music comes from Negative World's owner and dictator, Zero. The rest of the soundtrack is taken from Xenoblade.
Comment on the topics, the podcast, the guests, the host, etc. on Negative World! Or, be a weirdo and post them on Facebook or Twitter instead.
I started listening before reading the podcast description. Wondered where all the great music was coming from, then thought it would be pretty sick if it was all from xenoblade/last story/pandora.......
Yea, that particular track is really wonderful. I could listen to it all the time. I liked the other ones as well, but something about that particular track is really soothing and just...timeless is the word I think I am looking for.
Listening now. Strange that you're letting NoA write the narrative by talking about how Sin and Punishment 2 failed. It sold 100,000 in America, so maybe all the people who bought the original on VC did buy the game.
Yea, vgchartz. As far as I know its pretty reliable long after the fact. It's unreliable before NPDs come out and stuff.
But again, you're letting Nintendo set the narrative. It failed by their ridiculous metric? Every SHMUP in history has failed then. Might as well get rid of the genre.
But is it reliable for games that never chart? They can't make corrections based on the NPD numbers in that case.
And while I see your point, I'm talking about Nintendo here. I don't see S&P2 as a failure but I'm pointing out that Nintendo does. It's a ridiculous metric that they set for themselves, sure, but they set it. If NoA said “no”, and Japan insisted for them to publish it claiming it would reach a million, and then it didn’t, that absolutely would shame Japan and give NoA more of a say in what to bring over or not. Don’t you agree?
