No.109976
>>109956>>109960I'm fine with it. Mario RPG aged gracefully enough that it doesn't really have much to gain from getting a remake (unlike, say, Paper Mario 64), so they could've done literally anything with this and I wouldn't have minded. What they
did go with, basically recreating the original game's graphics in real-time 3D, is probably the best choice they could've made.
I also appreciate that, for the most part, they're using the original Mario RPG designs, as opposed to going back and putting everything on-model. The main Mario designs standardized around NSMB, and for the most part, they've been pretty strict about sticking to them. It's neat to see them use the Mario RPG toads, for example.
>>109956>Kinda funny, because a lot of original Super Mario RPG stuff were 3D renders that were then traced or whatever you would call it.The word you're looking for is 'prerendered'. They'd take a 3D model, render out images of it on a fancy-pants graphics workstation, and then use those images as sprites in a game. The specifics vary, and there's a good chance they messed around with the renders afterward in a program like photoshop, but broad-strokes that's what they did.

By chance while watching a speedrun it mentioned Lunar in the State of Play video >>>/jp/81254
There's a Lunar Remastered Collection! I have mixed feelings. Lunar was huge to my young mind:
>>96100But, it's just I'm tired of remasters and remakes. The first Lunar has been redone like 6 times across so many different platforms, but it's actually new that the second one gets acknowledged. But, hmm... if they do an accurate translation then it could be worth it. Not buying a PS5 for it, though.
The dream of a Lunar 3 is as far as ever. Oh, I remember taking part in forum threads sharing theories of what Lunar 3 would be about...

>>129563That's actually kinda smart. People have been saying for years that emulation is around the corner but even the most recent videos show it is still miles away from unplayable. Simply porting the assests to pc elden ring makes sense. But if a true PC port actually comes out with the remake like many people expect then its going to be an absolute disaster for anyone who touched these projects. Could be really sad to see tbh.

>>133960Expected? Yeah, probably, considering its success. Still, it's the first yuri to get a second season in over a decade so it's certainly cause for celebration.

Looks like the whole Utawarerumono trilogy is coming to the Switch
https://aquaplus.jp/uta/ns/Very unlikely this is the Utawarerumono announcement as the big Aquaplus 30th anniversery event is two weekends from now. Japanese websites can be so pretty, so very un-modern in all the good ways:

So this might be something to make a thread for since it seems pretty big, but for start I'll just post it here:
https://blog.nicovideo.jp/niconews/231350.htmlThe short of it is that NicoNico stuff is now going under region locking. For me anyway, I can still access videos, but NicoNico Seiga is blocked. Trying to go to an illustration I was looking at gives me this:
https://www.nicovideo.jp/region_restrictionTheir reasoning is stated by:
>However, with the changing times and the diversification of devices, it has become necessary to take comprehensive measures that consider not only Japanese laws but also recent social conditions, international circumstances, and foreign laws.>After careful consideration, we are reviewing the scope of regulations to ensure the continued operation of Niconico and its services, while maintaining our compliance with Japanese laws. This includes revising regulations on content that may violate foreign laws or offend public order and morals.I'm not smart enough to really think about the future ramifications and what this means in the long term. My gut tells me they don't want to put up with gaijin internet anymore and considering the shit Japanese creators get over social media like twitter I can see why, but that's just gut feeling and not founded on much else but anecdotal evidence.
Either way I'll just leave this info here as that and let you come to your own conclusions and people more savvy than I discuss.

>>134796Sucks to hear but expected; it's not like geofencing is anything new at all.
I haven't personally used NND much since over a decade now.

>>134856This is Seiga, though. Sorta like Pixiv in that it's for sharing images, I believe? I've never particularly been a fan because the UI is so much more cumbersome and only occasionally stumble my way there when looking at image sources.

>>135067I hope they follow up on Nadeshiko's newfound retro train obsession.

Aquaplus announced an original VN named Jasmine, a 3D Toheart remake, an original RPG, and of course the Monochrome Mobius sequel already mentioned in the Utawarerumono thread.

I think we can count on Utawarerumono and probably the RPG making its way to English, but I'm not sure about the others.

>>135084Well, it's $18, or $25 physical. A strange decision, but at least they passed the cheap production costs onto the customer. If it's just 3D still shots then meh, but if there's animation then it might be kinda cool.
