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.

>>721 >What is the approved narrative? That as a result of Ross' actions and the SKG movement, the EU is going to directly address these companies about their practices of killing video games through the GaaS business model, and EU is going to be enacting a law that will make this practice illegal in Europe, and the law is going to have a ripple effect across the entire globe, and any future video game with an online mode will now stay online and have an active list of people playing it forever, and these companies will suddenly stop being evil and will go back to making games worth buying again. And all will be sunshine and rainbows to the end of our days. And don't you dare question the results being anything else except this exact outcome. As there is no possibly way that the government getting involved in a matter could in any way whatsoever backfire and make the situation even worse, OR prove to be ineffective in solving the actual problem. To suggest as such indicates that you're a paid corporate shill who has never played any games that existed before Fornite and love the taste of circumsized cock. "BUTT ACKUALLIE", the point of SKG is to make people "aware" of the problem that is GaaS. You know, like making people "aware" that there's flouride in your tap water, or making people "aware" that the U.S. dollar is a fiat currency backed by nothing. All that's happening at the EU is just a "bonus". But don't you dare say that the EU action isn't going to work regardless. Everything up above "is definately" going to be what happens. In case you couldn't tell, yes, I did embellish it a bit, but that's the overall gist of what you're "allowed" to say on the matter if you don't want to get V&.
>>724 Yeah, no cake/v/ is the same. I witnessed many posts against government intervention being swissed, being accused of being bad actors, and the general approved narrative is that either nothing will happen or something good will happen. Give it a year. >V& Uh, you mean B&?
>>724 >>725 And the great thing about this is, unless nothing happens and it's shot down immediately, it will take time for anything to come of it. Meanwhile, either side of the argument can just pull a "global warming" and meander about whether something bad or good is ever happening for ages on end and shift goalposts as people's memories fade.

>Retro Gaming Revival: Why 90s and 2000s Games Are Trending Again https://archive.ph/LZqwt <It’s very easy to argue that the “mindset” of most video gamers is to “keep looking forward toward the next big game release.” After all, there’s almost always something on console or PC that we’re looking forward to getting. The Nintendo Switch 2 is getting a new title in a few days, and many are pumped for that, while others are eagerly awaiting a certain PS5 exclusive that’ll arrive in a few months. And yet, there are just as many gamers, and sometimes even organizations, that seem obsessed with the games of old, and want to “experience them again” in one form or another. The games of the 90s and 2000, and even the 80s to some extent, are still beloved by most, and it makes you wonder…why is that the case? Why is there a “Retro Gaming Revival” going on right now? We’ll express it through three key points.

Nintendo censoring games on the Switch Anonymous 01/24/2025 (Fri) 12:40:24 Id: 8af122 No. 9 [Reply] [Last]
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: https://archive.ph/S0pfk https://archive.ph/oaP9T This thread is specifically about Nintendo (Themselves) forcing third-party developers to censor games against their will, if not outright prevent their release. The games known to be cancelled/censored thus far include (Sorted by year): >2019 <Super Real Mahjong PV (Censored, later made unavailable after release) https://archive.ph/4zl3K >2021 <R-Type Final 2 (Censored) https://archive.ph/i9MVe >2022 <Hot Tentacles Shooter (Cancelled) https://archive.ph/6RJsH <Duel Princess (Unavailable after release) <Massage Freaks (Unavailable after release) <Prison Princess: Trapped Allure (Censored) https://archive.ph/akc2e

This may be relevant: https://archive.ph/thjQM >Former Santa Monica Studio producer Hannah Foell becomes Senior Manager of Partner Management at Nintendo of America 17 December 2022 <Video game producer Hannah Foell has announced that she now has a new position - Senior Manager of Partner Management at Nintendo of America. This means that she’ll be working with 3rd party developers to help build relationships and get more of their games on Nintendo platforms. Foell’s previous credits include working at Harmonix on Rock Band 4, and most recently at Santa Monica Studio where she produced God of War Ragnarök for Sony. Hopefully, she’ll be able to leverage her connections to strengthen Nintendo’s relationships with third party publishers and developers.
And we have our smoking gun: >Nintendo Rolls Out New eShop Publishing Guidelines for Switch 2 in Asia, Seemingly to Curb Spam Games https://archive.ph/1feBU <Many of the new guidelines discuss “sensitive content,” and include specific rules for what qualifies as sensitive content in the first place. Listed criteria that “would be considered damaging to the Nintendo brand” include sexualization of children, overly sexual content, discrimination and hate, exploitation of social issues (“Content that clearly exploits a topical and controversial social issue, tragedy, or catastrophic event”), instructing criminal activity, and political statements (“Content that overtly supports or criticizes real-life countries, organizations, or ideologies”). Nintendo states in the guidelines that it reserves the right not to distribute a game, but claims it offers the guidelines to help developers understand its reasoning in certain situations. “We encourage you to take this information into consideration when developing content for potential release on our platforms and before submitting such content to Nintendo,” the guidelines state. It also disclaims that the guidelines are not an exhaustive list, and that sometimes “determinations may be made on a regional basis.”

Nekopara publisher sucks off Steam while they rape his game in approval Anonymous 06/01/2025 (Sun) 01:02:29 Id: dc6f15 No. 629 [Reply] >>677
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. Posted this on 4Cuck /v/, thread got autosaged. Not going to try posting it on Mark /v/.

The main audience is moe and lolifags, all people routinely slandered as pedophiles by the usual suspects, who do this for basically anything that isn't shonen. Yes, he's showing his total lack of respect for the source material, its culture, and its audience with this, and that's the problem. Why even deal in this material if you hate it so much? Why lie to your audience that Valve isn't biased against Japanese VNs and anime games when most of them know better? Some retard is probably going to call him a pedo anyway just because he's localizing Nekopara, so this performative hand-wringing will likely be pointless in the end anyway.

Vidya films and TV shows Anonymous 05/24/2025 (Sat) 21:55:24 Id: 835185 No. 611 [Reply] >>612
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?

>>611 (OP) >What do people actually want out of film and TV adaptations of video games? "People", want and will eat garbage if it has the name of something they like on it. I don't really want these adaptations in the first place. It's like making a book to adapt a movie. You're going backwards in terms of mediums, taking away interactivity that's core to the experience that the story was originally made for. If I had to decide on something that's "acceptable", for an adaptation, it would be just simply a non-canon story set in the same world where characters are strongly grounded in their source material. It's been a long time since I've seen it, but I think the Devil May Cry anime series of one-shot stories did this decently enough. If you're talking about live action though, that is a sin, and anyone who wants live action adaptations should burn in the pits of Hell.
I want them to not exist, personally, as there's no such thing as a good live adaption, especially not of something as usually fantastic as video games. Maybe make an animated adaption and don't fill it with arbitrary popular voice actors and it won't make me vomit in disgust. I think normalfags just want catchphrases and good graphics, though.

GOG censoring Japanese games, will not allow Tokyo Clanpool uncensored Anonymous 04/21/2025 (Mon) 01:26:46 Id: d25873 No. 499 [Reply]
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.
I see. How the nigger finds the time to target shit like this when the entire board is a dumpsterfire of cuckchan posting is beyond me. In fact, ignoring the actual problems to micromanage things you don't like is exactly what the halfchan mods did that made their site so shit.
