the sega cd kicked so much ass
i have not watched GDT's Frankenstein but i am firm in my belief that it needs a tie-in adventure/fighting game like the 90s Kenneth Branagh one did on the Sega CD. and they need to keep in elizabeth's roll attack

Wrote a post talking about the design of Shinobi, Rolling Thunder & Elevator Action and how excellent of a run n gun template it was+how it developed over the years. I'd love to see more indie games take a crack at developing this, cuz Shinobi devs sure as fuck won't

Objects of desire...

The Divers 2000 CX-1 Dreamcast + TV combi, with network capabilities and DreamEye digital camera.

Co-developed by Sega, CSK, and Fuji, it had a tiny production run, numbering just two hundred. The remote is essential as it's the only way to switch it into DC mode.

If you were wondering how much Baki influenced Capcom and SNK (as well as Ancient for Streets of Rage 2 and Namco for Tekken)

When you email issues to Obsidian Entertainment (the video game company) their AI support hallucinates and tells you to email Obsidian (the note-taking company) instead.

If the reward function is to reduce the number of touches in a support ticket, this is one way to do it.

this is the other core aspect i did not directly address in my initial answer to the thread; in addition to whether or not you can validly contest the claim, are you willing to give the claimant your personally identifying information so they decide whether or not to pursue that court battle?
If this process still works how it used to, then you have the option of submitting a counter-claim and reinstating your video, upon which the ball is put back in Nintendo's hands. They can then choose to do one of two things: actually sue you, or drop the issue and leave you alone.

What do you think are the chances of me managing to reverse the copyright claim on this old video I'm super super proud of and apparently inspired a feature in Super Meat Boy, which later Nintendo copyright claimed because it showed a romhack and Nintendo apparently invented and own romhacks

what's interesting is that LRG's using it for the primary purpose of reissuing the game globally, which hasn't been the use case until now—they do have signoffs from Taito where necessary, but how far might they push with other games, I wonder

I legitimately didn't know they were competing with Steam and it's crazy to me that they burnt so much money on what sounds like something with very little (or wildly misguided) market research.
