Gone Home was an interesting game since at first it might play like a horror game like Amnesia Dark Descent but in actualityspoiler[ it's a story of the life of a young girl in the 1990's dealing with her sexuality and coming out, her first love, teenage rebellion and family drama with a dash of puzzle solving.]

Gaist Crusher looks fun, but I'm more looking forward to the anime. Wonder if they make those cases for the 3DS XL

Can't wait to play Aquapazza. I'm a sucker for crossover fighters. Laughing

If Drag-on Dragoon 3 does come here, let's home it comes by unedited unlike previous games. Surely they wouldn't do that in the new space-age year 2013 Wink

As someone who loved me some King's Quest back in the day, Gone Home was dreadful and everything wrong with the modern attempts at the genre. All the praise for it's message also raises very troubling implications for the medium

Can't stop the One Piece hype train it seems Laughing Definitely gonna grab that one too. Physical release would be even better though! C'mon.

The DuckTales game is also available in the Nintendo eShop.

I pre-ordered the Japanese version of Aquapazza and enjoyed the game. Though the Story is too short but it is developed by Examu who i'm pretty sure developed the Arcana Heart series, so that's not too surprising.

For me it wasn't totally unexpected for a U.S. release, but was thinking Aksys would do it.

We did get the Anime versions of To Heart 1, Utawarerumono, Tears to Tiara, and Comic Party.

I can vouch for the greatness of DuckTales Remastered after playing it and unlocking everything. It's wonderful in every way possible, right down to the choice of switching to the classic 8-bit soundtrack. I understand, Todd, that you think the game could have done with some sort of level expansion (well they did add Vesuvius, which was not in the NES version) but WayForward wanted to keep the game as true to the original as possible without over-saturating it. The fact they went to so much trouble to round up the still existing voice actors from the show is a sign of a great developer (and the cutscenes can be skipped, it's not like you're forced to sit through them plus they have all the charm of the old TV series in them).

The game's only real flaw: it ends. I hope that they remake all the Disney Afternoon shows at some point. Heaven knows TaleSpin and Gargoyles could use much better games now.

Gone Home reminds me of Maniac Mansion, which I haven't managed yet to finish. Anime smallmouth + sweatdrop
Not too long though.

I may have to dust off my 360 for a bit of DuckTales... Now I want to set up my PS1 so I can play Disney's Magical Racing Tour Laughing

I hope that dig about Drakengard 1's story is more about how dark it was, because it's story is anything but awful.

2's story was bit more normal which is a shame, but the gameplay was indeed better.

I'm not sold on three. I don't like the main character and being a prequel sounds iffy. But it's Drakengard, so I'll play it.

Tail Spinning, I get ya. Laughing

Haven't picked up Ducktales Remasted yet, but it's definitely on my list. Been looking forward to it since it was announced.

Still loving Divekick, especially now that the game is a reality. Been following the development of the game bit by bit ever since I played it in person at UFGT 8. Simple, yes. Joke game, totally. It also takes a bit more strategy than you would imagine. Humor is spot on for those who get the jokes, especially Mr. N and S-Kill's titles for his rebalanced games.
