Looks like the Tactics Ogre leak is confirmed.


Tactics Ogre Reborn will launch on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 on November 11, according to listings on PlayStation Store price tracking website PS Deals (PS5, PS4), which feature full descriptions and first screenshots of the remastered release

No Switch, that's odd.

Cool but I would love a Ogre Battle Remake or addition to the series more.

Wrong. Earthbound was always regarded as a cult hit that was unfairly treated by Nintendo. Also helps the character was in Smash since the start and the NES Earthbound was one of the earliest unreleased games to leak online.People knew about the games for sure, it's just we didn't see the Quirky JRPG earthbound inspired madness until indie games rose to power.


That interview happened around gamergate/OP Torrental Downpour i think it was called?(The backlash to FE Fates), and it was more or less him defending the loli shit in criminal girls being censored, while saying. he wanted to localize idolmaster.
Gaijinworks made more games after that, but not a single one of em sold well at all, he also stiffed someone out of a giveaway on twitter if you want to look that drama up.

I don't know why people feel the need to delude themselves into believing that people in the west regarded earthbound as an cult classic basically since its release. Sorry, but no. Maybe the Nintendo Community already regarded it as such in the early 2000ths, but for gaming at large that is not true at all.
Nintendo's main audience during the Gamecube was ''Hardcore'' Nintendo Fans and Kids. During Wii it was casuals. Of these 3 groups at best hardcore Nintendo Fans would care about Earthbound of which there weren't many, as shown by the failure of Gamecube.
I would say the kind of audience that is interested in Gaming cult classics is mostly found on PC, not that they don't also use Game consoles, which back then didn't care about Nintendo at all.

I would be more excited if they made straight up Neo Geo pocket reissue loaded with all the games since it had a small library along with that nice thumbstick.

That would be dope as fuck right now because there are no small handhelds that aren't total chinkshit anymore.

Lol a GBA Advance Classic from Nintendo would be pretty nice right now. Slap on something like the top 25 GBA games on a slightly bigger clam shell form factor for $50 to $60 would sell like hotcakes.

Nintendo would just sell one GBA game on a cart and sell it for 60$

I really expected a Game Boy Classic Edition since it's such primitive hardware and the 3DS is phased out now anyway, but, nope. I guess they'd rather do those Game & Watches with 2-3 games a pop instead.

Were G&W games even popular back in it's hay-day? I'm guessing it was a japan-only thing or something? I never saw anyone with one of those growing up, if anything it was always Tiger handhelds. Are these things even selling that well now?

Also you can get Collection 1 and 2 for the DS and it'll save you some bucks.

They were popular at the time, the time being early 80's before the NES. I personally think the success of those in the west made Nintendo really determined to launch the NES over here despite the video game crash and all the trouble they would have to go through to get it into stores. I'm basing that opinion on G&W selling so well over here that Nintendo was pretty close to releasing the actual Famicom in Sweden to capitalize on it. That didn't happen though because they started cooking up the NES for the larger western market.

These days the original Game & Watch games can sell for a nice chunk of change but like always the market is flooded with scammers selling recently made chink copies on ebay and other sites.
 
Nintendo should have made them hackable like the NES/SNES Classic without having to solder connection ports onto the back. The screen and controls on the LOZ Game and Watch would have been perfect to play NES/GB/GBC games.

I can't believe they are. There's been a couple of the LOZ ones sitting at my Walmart on clearance all summer.

Same here. They were never in short supply. Same deal with the Super Mario ones that were supposed to be gone by the end of March 2021.

I've never seen an original Game & Watch in person. I'm too young to have ever seen them in stores, but like, I never saw one at a friend's house or at a pawn shop or anything. I certainly remember Tiger Electronics handhelds, but those were everywhere in the 90s.

The modern equivalent are those little arcade machine things with low-res LCDs that were probably pulled from decommissioned dumbphones. Like this:

Only difference is, you get a neat little arcade cabinet kinda thing and they're generally $20 or less. The Nintendo Game & Watch ones are $50. You could argue that they're a little nicer, with bigger controls and a rechargeable battery, but these kinds of things all fall into a novelty category. You play with 'em 'cause they're cute and they beckon at you from a shelf, and you put them down after a couple of minutes. They're just too expensive for what they are, for anyone but dedicated consoomers.

They had G&W collections/remasters on the GB/GBC/GBA as well.
