I'm just gonna be over here doing a jig about the only two Lunar games being available for modern platforms (There are only two Lunar games. I will fight people on this. Walking School and especially Dragonsong don't actually exist.) Its also good to get a timeframe on Fantasian.

As far as upcoming stuff: I'm (clearly,) a big rpg nerd, so I'm definitely interested in the upcoming Metaphor game- Atlus puts out slick RPGs, even if I occasionally have my gripes. I'm more skeptical about Dragon Age- Bioware's last two swings have been big misses, after all. Still, the game isn't out yet. I'm interested enough in what's been shown and said not to completely write the thing off...but I'm hardly convinced either.

The State of Play was pretty disappointing. Not much else to say.

I’m getting tired of Level 5’s delays; at least we’re getting an anime out of it, I guess. Side note: if you haven’t played a Professor Layton game…you absolutely should! They’re really fun. On that note, Megaton Musashi is a really underplayed mecha game; hopefully more people get into it.

The most exciting announcement was the Inazuma Eleven remake, since I never got to play those.

There's literally nothing wrong with Walking School. Especially if we're talking about the Saturn remake which was more in-line with the other 2 Lunar Games.

Holy Horror Mansion just reminds me of Kamiwaza Wanda which was a Yokai Watch knock back in 2016 around a boy with a camera who used it to find invisible not-Yokai causing problems in the real world. It lasted less than a year before getting canned. I wonder if Level 5 in turn borrowed some of that for this idea.

Saying Yokai Watch was more kid-oriented than Pokemon seems to depend what you mean though. On one hand that was around the time XY was airing before the Sun and Moon anime went full Yokai Watch as well so it was more comedic by comparison to XY which a lot of people liked. But Yokai Watch still seemed to have no problem with nudity, sex jokes, fanservice, alcohol, stuff like that Pokemon stopped doing after the first season. And then when Sun and Moon came out Yokai Watch did the opposite themselves and skewed darker with Yokai Watch Shadowside so it was a funny time of reversals back then between the two franchises.
