Is 'E-3', close enough for our hips to start gyrating?

Rudie · June 12, 2019, 1:06am

WHAT

tt_zop · June 12, 2019, 1:41am

Holy fuck this is the hypest shit i’ve seen

Felix · June 12, 2019, 1:42am

this is definitely one of those days when (to quote @idiot) I realize that I react to nintendo the way some people do to apple

tt_zop · June 12, 2019, 2:02am

I had to take a minute and realize that this is 2019 Konami and not M2 selling me a mini console but man, I can still hope this is cool. I’ve always wanted a tg16 and they’re expensive as hell to collect games for now.

AutomaticTiger · June 12, 2019, 2:13am

I thought the castlevania collection was M2? M2 will work with anyone if you give them money. This is only a question of how much Konami gives a shit.

SageGrimm · June 12, 2019, 2:38am

They turned the hell around on their previous position of: video games are trash, pachislots are the way forward for our IPs,

notbov · June 12, 2019, 3:14am

I will bet money the TG16 mini is still bigger than a regular PC Engine

cylindrome · June 12, 2019, 3:22am

wtf i love konami now

Sleazy · June 12, 2019, 3:54am

kinda funny watching the japanese and western streamers have the exact opposite “holy shit!” and “lol go figure” reactions to the banjo/dq smash reveals

LWJoestar · June 12, 2019, 4:28am

My reactions were “yeah, I saw that coming” and “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!”, respectively

somehow, the new contra game is being directed by nobuya nakazato

notbov · June 12, 2019, 5:01am

obviously he was locked in the basement of a Konami Sports Club and they found a use for him

BustedAstromech · June 12, 2019, 5:22am

I’m legitimately shocked, this reads as Western through and through to me. I wonder if it is and he’s tele-directing some small studio, calling them every 8pm to check in

Rudie · June 12, 2019, 6:40am

OH MY FUCKING GOD YOU CAN SEE SAPPHIRE IN THE VIDEO.

Alyx · June 12, 2019, 7:08am

Nobuya Nakazato directed Contra.
1-4 player online and couch co-op.
Twin Stick.

Sounds good.

I didn’t watch the Nintendo Direct yet but saw the trailer for new Breath of the Wild 2 and Link’s Awakening. Also Witcher 3 was announced for Switch and I see none of you have made a Switcher 3 joke tut tut.

I am going to throw money at that Mana Collection the first chance I get because I watched that trailer two or three times and got irrationally excited each time.

Also that Contra looks good! I don’t know if I’m going to really consider it a for real Contra game but it does look fun so I will be keeping any eye on that.

Mr_Mechanical · June 12, 2019, 9:33am

Also at some point this week Ubisoft released a thing for Assodyssey where you can now make your own questlines wtf.

Ymer · June 12, 2019, 12:52pm

Seeing a number of press people commenting how LA doesn’t seem to run too great at all with the framerate being kind of all over and having a pretty crusty looking resolution in docked mode.

hrrrrm…

tt_zop · June 12, 2019, 2:08pm

How’s that work?

Mr_Mechanical · June 12, 2019, 2:36pm

I haven’t tried it yet but apparently it’s kind of like Twine.
