So, today I'm announcing a new book project... and doing a call for papers: crpgbook.wordpress.com/2025/10/31/t...

It's an anthology of video game history outside the usual US perspective - an accessible & exciting panorama of different realities - and I'll pay 300 USD per article.

Please share :)

The Video Game History Expansion Pack – Pitch your story

Today I’m putting my money where my mouth is and launching a new project — a book focused on game history outside of the usual North American perspectives.

I remember the Kadokawa games channel having the little sister character as a virtual youtuber to market the game, honestly I think if they removed the creepy photo mode, maybe it could work, but sadly Kadokawa line of dating sims seems to focus on the photo mode since PhotoKano

lembro que todo youtuber gringo de 15 anos atrás colocava num pedestal e o preço do jogo no mercado de usados reforçava.

People don't remember today that "PS3 has no games" was bait to get someone to try listing games in response, and then jump on them when they inevitably listed Japanese games. Japanese games don't count

A lot of people don't believe me about how racist American gamers were during that gen - like they were lying in wait for any period of weakness in the Japanese games industry as an excuse to say truly vile shit about Japanese people at large

Remembering when Vanquish got dinged for being "very Japanese," a comment that had no other elucidation and was written as a self-evident negative.

That generation was wild with how ethnocentric shit got.

Então, tem uma parcela considerável que ainda considera o nome americano pra este jogo, vide o livro zoado dos RPGs de SNES que teve estes dias, mas o maior problema é que é um nome que gera confusão, eu não me incomodo da pessoa chamar DQ de Dragon Warrior, pois não confunde com outro jogo.

Não estou dizendo que tem a ver, mas aquele livro era o maior exemplo de "ponto de vista puramente norte americano".

Isto pouco depois daquele livro bomba de RPGs de SNES que também insistia em chamar por FFIII

Pior que me incomoda também, tem ideias legais na parte de mostrar fraquezas/resistências(ainda não é perfeito em mostrar na hora a influência de acessório), mas a leitura de qualquer texto era melhor no Cyber Sleuth.

Experimental post: Mode 7? What About Modes 1-6?
Some games on the SNES, such as Super Mario Kart, boasted "Mode 7" technology. However, this raises the question of what happened to the previous modes. This post explains them and gives examples of their usage in Mario games.

The same is true with Z-A requiring you to play ranked battles, which now requires online subscriptions, in order to get some of the new megas

Like Pokémon Ranger 2 which features Darkrai requires you to download a sidequest during the first month of it’s release to catch send Darkrai to the core games, Pokémon Black and White had the whole dream world gimmick which you can’t use anymore

Ever since Gen 3, which soft rebooted the series, it required atleast 5 games to complete the dex, Gen 4 atleast introduced WiFi connectivity, which was free at the time, to help but on other hand they started to go more harder with fomo and less future proof

I wouldn’t call the nail in the coffin since the Legends line isn’t the proper mainline for now even if gamefreak says so and we still don’t know how the Pokémon home and champions ecosystem would be alongside this game.

I think most of it's reception was due gen 6 not being good, than due Unova's merit, to most people pokemon probably peaked with Johto, either in it's original gen 2 form or in it's gen 4 remake.

would be funny if the new Dissidia gacha has metas based on fashion districts, like you would have Harujuku young fashion team, the Ginza whale luxury brand team and f2p friendly Nakano second hand shop team.

Lightning would certainly be on the Ginza whale team
