Seriously though if you think I missed you I promise it wasn't on purpose, I'm just old and struggling to find everyone's new URLs.
Looking at State of Play reactions, I'm surprised how nonchalant a lot of people seem to be with the MGS4 port. I was fairly certain for a pretty long time that game was going to be a permanent PS3 exclusive for a handful of reasons.

Just give every fighting game a dating sim mode like Rival Schools and the genre will never struggle again. Look how well it worked out for Fire Emblem.

I think that Weetbix article is pretty good, but some of the responses to it suggest that the average FGC dude is woefully out of touch with what draws non-competitive players to fighting games in the first place. Hell I think a majority of the industry itself doesn't even understand.

Spike hits you with the face of a man who thought he had to fart in the elevator and tried to sneak one out only for it to unveil itself as a full sinister shit and is just staring you the whole time wordlessly until the slow elevator stops on either your floor, or his first

Need someone to post their fighting game tier list in the form of a parody of the Guptil89 Sonic video.

Thank you Shutaro-san for all of your hard work in life - I will love your games forever. Castlevania Aria of Sorrow is one of my favorite games ever and I am looking forward to Bloodstained 2. Rest in Peace, Castlevania and Bloodstained fans all over will miss you.

Shutaro Iida handled several games - especially Castlevania -, from coding to directing. Then went on to give the world Bloodstained when Konami thought 2D action games were stupid.

Only just recently we learned of the full extent of his incredible work.

Rest well.
