Meta Thread
RULES
>1 : Any OP must at least thinly have to do with vidya
>2 : Don't spam threads or in threads
>3 : No pedos or niggers or pedoniggers
Made this board so I can post freely about what games I'm emulating and the emulators I'm using, as I am now banned from both /v/ and /vb/ for having a terminal case of not taking it up the ass by moderation. Feel free to shitpost however I am going to keep the thread limit to 32 to keep things manageable without having to bring on vols, at least for now. Also, post banners I guess, but I doubt anyone else will use this board, so it will just be my personal public log of vidya activity. A /v/log, if you will :^).
Edit: Added the few rules to the meta OP for braindead people.

Cellphone, Mobile, and Smartphone Vidya
This is NOT a thread for gacha-shit!
If you want to discuss that type of content, make your own thread or take it to
>>>/gacha/
The purpose of this thread is to talk about games playable on phones. There's really no restrictions on what can be discussed (
Aside from already mentioned). The primary reason I made this thread was just see what "good" games actually exist on since no one really talks about it. Thus far, the games I can provide as reqs goes as far as:
Providing links to Qoo-App because I used them to bypass the region-locking of the Goolag Play Store. They still provide links to the Play Store and the iOS App Store if you want to see the "proper" page. Also you should still be able to find "some" games through other third-party sites.
>⑨Bullet Screen
https://apps.qoo-app.com/en/app/14051
It's literally a 2hu fan game.
>Card Thief
https://apps.qoo-app.com/en/app/14387
It's a stealth-based card game where you attempt to sneak past guards and collect loot
>Chimera Recollect
https://apps.qoo-app.com/en/app/13280
Apparently it's a sort of "click to death" game where you play as a customizable monster that protects a child
>City Connection Classic
https://apps.qoo-app.com/en/app/17052
It's the classic arcade game City Connection with some new graphics elements.
Mind the ads. You can avoid them by switching to "Airplane Mode".
>Dark Witch Connect!
https://apps.qoo-app.com/en/app/12073
It's a tile game where you connect as many of the same adjacent tiles as you can within a minute.
>Mahjong Girls
Only seen this game on the Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.co.sundenshi.shmusume_g
The Shanghai puzzle game where you match mahjong tiles, except doing so reveals pictures of cute girls. Also there's a tile set usiing classic Sunsoft characters.
>Ninja JaJaMaru Neo Classic
https://apps.qoo-app.com/en/app/16833
It's the classic arcade game Ninja JaJaMaru with some new graphical elements and music (It's actually kick-ass).
Mind the ads. You can avoid them by switching to "Airplane Mode".
>The King of Fighters-A 2012
https://apps.qoo-app.com/en/app/943
It's basically a stripped down port of KoF13.
I'm also trying to avoid mentioning games that have since been ported to consoles.

I think Jon St. John is actually a cursed actor to hire for a game.

<Forever becomes vaporware, until it's not but ends up being trash

Nintendo censoring games on the Switch
Trying to keep this thread to
third party games, censorship that is
not the result of localizations or "regional law", and censorship that
only applied to the versions released on the Switch (2) (
That includes games that experience different levels or instances of censorship compared to other versions). If you want the extensive list of "all" instances of Switch censorship (Regardless of the circumstance), here you go:

Remember that back in 2019, Furukawa declared this:
https://archive.ph/RkxJm
>Q11: Regarding restrictions on expression. Some other platforms have their own restrictions other than third-party organizations such as CERO. How about Nintendo?
<A11: Nintendo entrusts a third-party organization with the task of providing objective ratings for its own products and third-party software prior to its release. If the platform operator arbitrarily chooses to do so, it would seriously impede the diversity and fairness of game software. The parental control function also allows for restrictions to be put in place.
I'd argue that Nintendo has since abandoned this policy.

Vidya films and TV shows
Very simple question:
What do people actually want out of film and TV adaptations of video games?
This concept has been tossed around for the past going on almost 40 years, and it seems like no one can really answer what makes something a "good adaptation". The "closest" I've seen is Anons parading around Postal as being the "best" film adaptation of a game ever made, but that movie was terrible. Mortal Kombat is another "good" one, but it changes significant aspects of the game's plot. Some of the one's I've liked, there was Angelina's Tomb Raider, Anderson's RE series, Prince of Persia, Double Dragon, Need for Speed, and The King Of Fighters.
What are other Anon's takes on the "good" adaptations that have come out? Or what makes a "good" adaptation?

Nekopara publisher sucks off Steam while they rape his game in approval
https://xcancel.com/sekaipro_chris/status/1928315598150254772#m
SekaiProject, publishers of the Nekopara series as well as several other visual novels, have run into issues with getting the latest Nekopara approved for Steam. Despite this and despite the mountains of evidence attesting to Valve's anti-anime and anti-Japan bias, they insist that nothing is wrong and that Valve TOTALLY doesn't hate them. They're even going as far as to justify the bans against other games. This is hardly the right attitude to take when your game is getting raped in approval and likely will be banned altogether. Why are these fucking publishers so averse to calling out this obvious censorship campaign against Japanese media? Why do they ALWAYS fucking cuck like this? This retard would watch from a corner while Gaben raped his wife. Again, there is MOUNTAINS of evidence, both H-games and PG games, attesting to Valve's anti-anime anti-Japanese bias and this moron does himself and his whole audience a disservice by attempting to cover for it.
Bonus; he's justifying the bans on the basis of "loli is CP even if PG, therefore Valve is TOTALLY justified to ban Japanese otaku games", as he's publishing fucking Nekopara of all things that will likely be banned for the same reasons. I don't care what your stance is, don't fucking cuck to your abuser like this. Not just for you, but your whole audience that Valve thinks are a crowd of sex offenders for enjoying cute and ero anime girls. You disrespect not only yourself, but everyone who supports you.

Fuck game localization and translation companies
The latest victim of shitty game translations is The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy. A turn-based tower defense game by the creators of Dang It, Ron Paul!, There Is No Escape, and Master Detective. And the best part is that the game isn't even out yet, it releases on April 23.

GOG censoring Japanese games, will not allow Tokyo Clanpool uncensored
GOG, a PC storefront that offers games DRM-free, has in recent years been one of the first stops for games unfortunate enough to be banned from Steam over its raging bias against Japanese anime bishoujo games. However, they now seem to be following Steam in unfairly discriminating against anime games.
Tokyo Clanpool, a Vita game by Compile Heart that was recently picked up by Eastasiasoft for an English release on Switch and PC, has so far faced censorship on every platform it has tried to release on. First getting banned from Steam, then being censored and having its release restricted by Nintendo on Switch.
Initially, Eastasiasoft tried to submit a censored version of the game to Steam, likely with the intention of releasing an off-site patch. However, since Steam banned the game anyway, they then submitted the censored version to GOG, initially merely out of paranoia since they had already been banned from Steam. They then eventually went back and tried to patch the game's content back in. Unfortunately, their initial paranoia proved well-founded as GOG refused to host the game's uncensored content. The content in question is a mildly erotic minigame called "Ether Induction", which involves using the controls or touch screen to rub the girls to gain stat bonuses in the main dungeon crawling gameplay. This type of minigame was typical of Compile Heart releases of the time. Steam, Nintendo and GOG all have other games featuring similar content that did not have to be censored. GOG in particular has full H-games with explicit loli content either uncensored or with on-site patches. Yet suddenly they will not allow this Vita game that was likely sold in general stores in Japan to have its content uncensored. It's seemingly indicative of a shift in policy towards Steam-level bias against Japanese games.
For games like Tokyo Clanpool, options for release are becoming increasingly narrow as all four mainstream gaming platforms now block or censor them and even smaller PC storefronts like GOG are now joining the anti-anime, anti-ecchi bandwagon. Companies that used to specialize in such content like Compile Heart are now preemptively neutering their content in response, to the ire of long-time fans who are increasingly rejecting the sanitized content, manifesting in declining sales across the board. Eastasiasoft too, once one of the few remaining publishers proudly flying the flag of ecchi fanservice, are now throwing in the towel and declaring they will no longer publish games like Tokyo Clanpool. Their most recently-announced significant release is an otome game, indicating the direction they are likely to take, leaving the fans of Japanese ecchi games they once catered to hanging and reeling. All this while gacha games like Snowbreak and Brown Dust 2 taunt fans of old otaku bishoujo games by offering similar content on mobile, provided you are willing to sell your soul to the GaaS mobage model, of course, like a twisted siren song calling the once-loyal subculture of games like Senran Kagura, Gal*Gun and Neptunia to a soulless, predatory model of content that encapsulates almost all the worst trends of gaming in recent years.
Yet another thing you can't talk about on Mark's /v/. Not even in the GamerGate thread.

Attention all Nepfags and /nepgen/ refugees
We are on the /nep/ board on trashchan now. It's the Neptunia board from old 8Chan that was rescued by another altchan site before 8Chan went down. Due to Mark's spergery, and because of how fast it is moving now, I discourage using this site's /v/ board for discussion of Neptunia and Compile Heart-related topics.
