So this song will still be good for two more years, got it. Though we've always known that the Power Suit was created by the Chozo, it's cool to see a Chozo use a Power Suit of their own. Apparently the Chozo never went extinct, but their civilization collapsed at some point and the surviving Chozo went into hiding. I don't think he'll be the final boss, but he'll probably be fought again near the end of the game and Samus will win this time thanks to her shiny new upgrades. Ridley will get an obligatory fight towards the end too, especially since Kraid is back from the dead somehow. They might as well bring back Phantoon, Draygon, and Crocomire for a full Super Metroid reunion. I'm pretty sure the Gold Chozo is the main villain, but I'm not sure how much of a combatant he is so Samus might not fight him directly. Hmm, maybe I should replay Metroid Fusion before Dread releases. Maybe I'll do it if I finish The Great Ace Attorney 2 before Dread comes out...

I didn't know McGilded's accent was Irish until Gina identified him as such. It seems I need to educate myself when it comes to English accents. The fan translation didn't give McGilded any accent nor does Gina seem to call him "the Irishman", so him being Irish might be an addition by the localization. The Memoirs of the Clouded Kokoro: I'll also talk about the (first?) investigation of G2-3 up to the Dance of Deduction, since it's the point where the overarching plot starts becoming prominent.

I was spoiled on a few things from before the games' localization was announced, like the culprits/victims of the first two cases and something from the second game's first case. I think some of the remaining spoilers I know are very important but I'm lacking the context behind them, so I still have plenty of things to be surprised by. I was largely unspoiled for the previous games though; mostly it was just the details of DL-6, Godot's real name, but not anything else about him, and something about Apollo Justice's first case. I suppose that's the best I can hope for. And I didn't even ask you to say they had good designs.

You're welcome, I don't like being spoiled either. Though if you'd really like to show your appreciation, you can say that Pyra and Mythra have acceptable designs... Implying that Xenoblade 2 doesn't have enough content to last for years! At least Metroid fans are getting Dread, which has been a wayward dream for even longer than Prime 4. Bayonetta fans may be out of luck for now, but they've still got it better than F-Zero fans. Unfortunately Namco said they aren't financially viable, so Xenosaga fans will have to settle for KOS-MOS hopefully appearing in Monolith's future projects.

Ah yes, this is the part I was talking about when I previously said I had trouble during case 5. It's the only place in either of the games (so far) that I got a game over. Actually we already know Monolith has another game in development, we just don't know what it is yet. It's been in development since Torna released, which was three years ago now so I wouldn't be surprised if we saw it soon.

Metroid Dread releasing in one month reminds me, I only bought four games this year and only one of them was released in 2021 though The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles might qualify as two games. I'll get Dread when it releases and have been planning on getting New Pokémon Snap eventually, but I'll probably save that for Christmas. I think a better Godzilla example of questionable translation quality would be how Rodan is called "Radon" in the English version of Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II (amongst other films), even though Rodan's English name had been established for around 40 years at that point. In Anguirus's case it took some time for his official English name to be established, while Rodan's name was the title of his debut movie.

When someone asks you why you think Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is the greatest game ever made In response to these, video game technology advances very quickly, so video games can benefit more from faithful remakes than movies and other forms of media. For example, the Rebuild of Evangelion movies started as a 1:1 remake of Neon Genesis Evangelion with better animation, but diverged significantly by the end of the second. The later movies doing their own thing is more justifiable since the series is still perfectly watchable nowadays. King Kong has been remade twice to take advantage of advances in filmmaking. The 2005 remake is modern enough that it really doesn't need to be remade again, so the following Kong film did something completely new with the concept. With something you 'watch' instead of 'play', in some cases you'd think "Why would I watch this version when the original is perfectly good already?" AKA Disney live action remake syndrome. Final Fantasy VII, while still playable and enjoyable today, is archaic by modern standards, so it would benefit from a remake that stayed true to the original. It might have been better if FFVIIR was promoted as a reboot sequel sea-boot prequel reimagining that messed with the timeline, but I'm sure the future games will be nothing like FFVII's plot anyway. Aerith probably won't die and maybe Cloud and Sephiroth will become friends by the end.

Personally, the only thing I know about Another Eden is that Pyra and Mythra's VA is in it, because it has a British dub. I think Metal Face's VA voices a frog too or was that Chrono Trigger? Also Persona 5 is in it, because Atlus makes Capcom look modest when it comes to crossovers.

Ah, I see. The following cases continue twisting the Ace Attorney formula as far as I've seen. If you're liking GAA1 already, I heard GAA2 is an improvement. I'm playing that case now. I haven't finished it yet but I probably won't be prepared for what happens.

What part of the game was this again? The only time I had much trouble in GAA1 was during the fifth case so I wonder what you had trouble with.

I'm partially through the second game's second case so I might as well talk about G1-5 and G2-1 now. While the ending to the first game does leave questions for the second game, it didn't end on a complete cliffhanger like I was somewhat expecting it to. The Adventure of the Unspeakable Story: GAA2 is really the first AA game to benefit from being a sequel; aside from the Fey plotline running in the background of the trilogy, every other game's plot is self-contained to prevent spoiling the previous games. So despite being far from the first sequel, GAA2 feels refreshing in that respect. The Adventure of the Blossoming Attorney:

Hopefully you won't be spoiled that Herlock Sholmes is the culprit of the final case... just kidding. Well, it might happen, but I wouldn't know since I haven't reached the final case yet. He does, other times he throws it into the candles behind him. When he's really annoyed, he tosses his entire wine bottle into the audience.

For whenever you need to call someone a clown, or the entire circus. It's not fanart, it's more job recruitment artwork from Monolith's website. I can't wait for this to confirm that Rex and Pyra will be added to Mario Golf: Super Rush.

Personally I think the original Spider-Man movie is the best, because I watched it for my birthday last year and it gave us this: My interest in the MCU is nonexistent at this point, but I'll see Home Alone Far From Home because nostalgia and I promised my sister I would. Even if Tobey only has five minutes of screentime, I'm sure they'll fit in at least one joke about his symbiote-fueled antics in SM3 like Into the Spider-Verse did. If I have to make one complaint about Spider-Verse, they turned Peni from an Evangelion homage to a generic anime reference. Though I suppose having a scene of her doing absolutely nothing for a whole minute would have been excessive...

Thank goodness to the Evangelion manga for giving us more Rei moments. Maybe you should sing it to the tune of Jet Jaguar's theme.

Let us have a moment of silence for Auchi's hair...

The PS5 has been vaguely mentioned, now I have an excuse to post this:

No Way Home ending dialogue leaked: Tobey Maguire: "If he's still alive in your universe, Peter, please take care of Uncle Ben." Tom Holland: "...Who's Uncle Ben?" Can't hear her say funny things if you can't understand what she's saying haha gottem.

Why would you even play Nep if you can't hear Melissa Fahn say funny things? I do not understand...

I don't judge Future Connected too harshly because it's basically a side project to a side project. It mostly exists as a buying incentive for people who already played Xenoblade 1, and Monolith preferred to keep it small so they could focus on the other game they're currently working on. The fact that FC isn't sold separately from the main game like Torna is another reason why Monolith didn't want to devote too much time/work to it.

If I could go back in time and tell my younger self what pre-3H FE DLC to get, I would pick Awakening's Scramble maps, The Future Past, Hidden Truths, Heirs of Fate, and Anna in Fates as the main things. Looking back I don't know what was up with IS when they made SoV's DLC, even beyond it being more expensive than the game itself and being more expensive than XC2's expansion pass for a fraction of the content. I only got Rise of the Deliverance, but that was $13 for 4 chapters while Heirs of Fate had six chapters for $8. The Cipher characters being $6 for four characters seems reasonable in comparison, even though I never got them.

I'm partially through trial of case five, which I suppose is a good enough time to talk about cases 3 and 4. One thing I'll say is that this game is much more willing to play with the Ace Attorney formula than the main games are. It also feels like a spiritual successor to Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright, but without the Layton. The Adventure of the Runaway Room: The Adventure of the Clouded Kokoro: I'm guessing the Japan/England setting was difficult to localize (as looking up the localization's history shows) and Capcom didn't think AA was popular enough to be worth the effort at the time. And there's the whole Sherlock Holmes copyright thing. As for the Kazuma thing:

I never thought I'd live to see the day JoJolion ended. I didn't think Evangelion 3.0+1.0 would be released in English any time soon either, or Metroid Dread for that matter, so this year is certainly full of surprises. No context Ace Attorney If you're talking about guests, there's also Tails and Beat from Jet Set Radio. Hopefully ChuChu Rocket will get representation, come on Sega.

The End of Evangelion was the finale of the original series (or one of the finales at any rate), but the movies I'm talking about are more-or-less a reboot.
