I mean I get being pissed off about the art and have no issue with you or anyone voicing that, but there is a difference between "liking a game that has art in it that is fucking gross" and "being aroused by that gross art" and I took issue with you

Looked at the estimated file size on the website and it's ~18GB, so that would make sense. Guess they couldn't manage to squeeze under 16GB.
Okay well if a game is designed to appeal to perverts it is by definition a game for perverts hence my wording.
But I see how that could be read, and I would like to formally clarify that I do not think you, or anyone else on this forum is a pervert. I apologize for implying as such, even accidentally.
I do not apologize for anything else I said because fuck Etrian Odyssey.
Nintendo raises Japan employees pay by 10% to secure “long-term growth” - Meristation USA
In the face of growing inflation and despite Nintendo’s shares taking a recent dive, the company has announced a salary increase for all of its employee

Looking at some (extremely positive and borderline gushing) comparisons, the Metroid Prime remaster to me feels like the BluePoint Demon's Souls remaster, where they've used new technology to filled in the gaps that I used to augment with my imagination, in order to create something much less interesting than the game that only existed in my head, and the extra detail and focus on realism also removes the room for imagination and interpretation. It's like seeing a bad stage adaptation of a play you love to read.
I like the look of the Remaster for the most part, but a lot of the choices with regards to color grading and lighting feel bizarre . If nothing else, it at least assuages my fears regarding Prime 4's graphical fidelity/performance (assuming it's going to be remotely the same kind of game lol).
The real issue with the remaster is that it's based off of the Trilogy version, which means that Retro still hasn't returned to god's light (Space Jump First).

Nintendo is a ruthless corporation and not to be trusted, but existing for over 120 years has given them a willingness to prioritize employee development and retention that other companies should really imitate.Nintendo raises Japan employees pay by 10% to secure “long-term growth” - Meristation USA

APPARENTLY, the dual stick control scheme has its own separate gyro option in a different part of the control config. Unintuitive, but hey, that fixes my main complaint if it works well.
modders have already made a patch to put the scan dash back into the game (lmao)
Watch what you wish for. If Etrian HD is any indication, SEGA remasters the original Dreamcast version and charges you 70usd for that pleasure.

Not really an apt comparison. The Etrian Odyssey Untold games are similar to the DS originals but they’re not the same games. They have different maps, for instance.Watch what you wish for. If Etrian HD is any indication, SEGA remasters the original Dreamcast version and charges you 70usd for that pleasure.
It’s also well worth $80 to get three Etrian Odyssey games. I also think it’d be worth $70 for Skies of Arcadia. Well, maybe not with the original encounter rate.
Friendly reminder that paying $50 for Skies of Arcadia back when it was released in the year 2000, is the equivalent of paying $86 today. (Even if you ignore pandemic-fueled inflation, it would have costed $75 in 2020).
Pfft, like anyone would charge anything that isn't a multiple of 10. (Not counting download/indie titles.)
I don't understand your point but ok
Games are underpriced these days. Games targeting a smaller niche would be more viable at higher price points, resulting in an artistically healthier market. However, the only ones capable of moving first to raise the price ceiling are the big publishers, who are the least constrained by that kind of viability and the least likely to take advantage of it in any way that might redound to a benefit for consumers.
And also are most likely to supplement their increased msrp with Battle passes, micro transactions, loot boxes and any other method of post purchase additional fund funneling.

Apparently Nintendo was sitting on Prime Remastered for over a year, if this is to be trusted:
Reportedly, FE: Engage had this happen as well.
Really bizarre that Nintendo is sufficiently on top of their release schedule that they can afford to hide completed games in their back pocket like this.

I actually have no idea, how complete does a game have to be to submit to the ratings system? I assume they can't just submit a translated script and that's enough, but does it require an essentially release-ready copy of the game?
One of my friends at work is the person who does our ratings submissions. I asked him and he says it has to be as close to the final release as possible. Which makes sense, because it's not just about the game's script, it's also about what's visible on-screen at any given time. There is an addendum process that can be "voluntary or punitive" (his words) depending on how development is lining up with the release date, but you generally try to be as complete/final as possible before submission.

Thank you, that definitely makes sense.
It's possible they were waiting to release it until they had some idea of Prime 4's dev schedule, as you'd want to release the first game so as to drum up interest, but not so far ahead as to let that interest lose steam. If that's the case, 4 is probably farther along than we thought and they're just waiting until the next Direct to tease it, since this one was all about Zaldo.
