Massively Multiplayer: Gaming In The New Millennium

The next segment was a preview of Shining Force V, which has recently been released in Japan to quite strong reviews. The game has a new action-based combat system, combining tactical RPG gameplay with action-RPG segments in which players position their units on a map before launching into a Tales-like combat segment.

Nitpick time: Shouldn't that be "a Tale-like combat segment" (since ITTL it's Tale, singular, not Tales of, plural)? Or have I got it wrong and you were actually thinking of Conker's Twelve Tales? ;)
 
If I remember right, Star Fox and Squad Four are set in the same universe, just in different parts of it. So you can have both as cartoons, and have a crossover or two between them.
That would be perfect! We could include the third Argoverse franchise in there but X probably isn't popular enough to warrant a cartoon.

Maybe all it needs is the right game. A lot of popular franchises (like SMT or Persona) were considered niche titles until they really hit the scene with games like Nocturne or Persona 3. Perhaps all X needs is a major hit itself?
 
Or the crossover might make the X characters popular enough to warrant a spin-off, which in turn might make the games more popular.
Possibly but neither Nintendo nor Disney are the risk-taking types. Now, on the other hand, say that, as PunMaster proposed, X gets a new game that is really good and skyrockets the franchise to prominence to match its siblings..Well, might Ninety make a tie-in episode to promote it, possibly helping it to be the best-selling installment thus far? Just saying.;)
 
Vitalogy is based on an idea that Goldwind2 has talked to us about for a while. We were talking about OTL Anachronox, and then another idea of his, and I kind of combined them into what became Vitalogy. It was also his idea to have Ion Storm do the game, and in the post where we discuss Vitalogy itself, we'll explain how that worked out (basically, Ion Storm and Microsoft had a development contract from way back, and Vitalogy is intended as a one-time deal sort of thing). It's from back when Tom Hall wanted to do a shooter for the Xbox while working on Keen, and the deal with Microsoft was struck just before Ion Storm and Sega became really close. It's kind of complicated but it'll sort of make sense when we explain it in the post. Ion Storm is still going to be developing primarily for Sega/Apple going forward.

Based on the brief summary of Vitalogy , It seams that Rysenkari used no elements of the idea I gave in Vitalogy except that it is a scifi JRPG created by Tom Hall . My idea Spaceways, involved Sly boots (he was created by Tom during college and thus wouldn't be butterflied) accepting a what seams to be a simple missing persons case only to sucked into a conspiracy to conquer the galaxy. Interstellar travel is made possible in space-ways by natural wormholes. The missing person sly is after is a scientist who working on a artificial worm generator. She was kidnapped by a group of genetically enchanched neo fascits who are forcing her to work on reverse engienring her invention. They plan on closing all the natural work holes , issocalting the planet of the galaxy. Since most planets aren't economically self sufficient total loss of interstellar trade would cause them to wind down in ancaryny and eventual collospe of civilization. The villains then plan to reopen the wormholes and make the galaxy in their image. I hope that spaceways could work as a squeal to vitalogy or if could be made as a boot's free game (I still want the main hero to be a snarky down on his luck detective) by another company.
 
I want to see a live action or a Studio Ghibli Zelda movie, please.
Any future movie would be optioned to Sony-Columbia First(if they're interested), remember brand synergy...still depends. already a decade happened after the infamous mario movie so anything can goes.
 
Speaking of Ghibli, I'm crossing my fingers that The Cat Returns and Howl's Moving Castle survive the butterflies. I love those two movies. (Cat Returns was in 2002, HMC was in 2004) So, its around the same time period.

Ponyo was/is in 2008. (Hoping that survives too, along with Wall-E. But alas these are high hopes, who knows what survives or not)

Who knows. He hasn't really detailed the plot yet.
It's too early to say that, friend.
 
The new Squad Four game looks really good, I'm looking forward to seeing what they do with it. Actually, that reminds me, are there any plans to make a Squad Four cartoon? Seems like it would work well in that format.

I actually looked way back, and there was to be a Squad Four anime that aired in Japan in 2000 and on Toonami in 2001. Obviously that time has come and gone, so we've decided to just do a retcon. I went back and edited the post, so now Squad Four the anime will be localized in 2004 and will air on Nickelodeon. My explanation for the delay is that the series is non-canon, and for that reason the networks thought that perhaps there wouldn't be much fan interest in it. With the hype surrounding the release of Upheaval, it's decided that there is some interest in the series after all and it gets localized by Funimation.
 
Sounds neat! Looking forward to seeing what that's like. I assume the voice actors for the game will be doing the dub as well?

Well, it's Funimation, and they're in Texas and don't have the same high profile as they do IOTL just yet, so....I'm not sure yet. Nickelodeon and/or Nintendo might be willing to fly them in though, or they could just patch from Los Angeles (or New York City in Deedee's case since I think she's mostly working on Broadway at this time).

SONGS, SONG, SONGS!
