Speaking of old Capcom games, Rockman DASH 2 Episode 1 got a fan translation recently. That leaves only one Mega Man Legends game, Rockman DASH: Great Adventure on 5 Islands, still untranslated.

There also seems to be rumors of a Legends collection in the works... but I'm not holding my breath on that, the series did end on a cliffhanger 24 years ago after all.

I'm randomly replaying legends 2 atm after replaying 1 not too long ago. It mostly hold up but the biggest enemy is the control and so either they keep the bad control, which is annoying, or they give an updated control scheme to the player, which will make the game a complete breeze to sail trough.

Also 1 is a lot better than 2.

Man, Legends is one of those series I missed. I remember reading about legends 1 on some gaming magazine back in the day but never got around to playing it back then. Then I was hype about legends 3...it just wasn't meant to be.

Also funny thing, they had Vollnutt in Tatsunoko vs Capcom, so I got to use him there at least. And he was voiced by Luffy in JP too. Mad hype combos.

Bad news for DMC fans, Itsuno has left Capcom.

Wonder if he got poached by either Tencent, Netease or Krafton.

On the other hand, maybe open door for Itsuno, Kamiya and Mikami team-up? That'd be sweet.
It was going to happen at some point, but it's still painful to hear. I am happy and proud of Itsuno. Glad he was able to make DMC5 and Dragon's Dogma 2 before leaving. Mikami has pretty much retired, so I don't see him bothering for a team up.

Guess this means the next DMC game will either be strange yet familiar, or just be bad
More than likely the first option.

Crash x Spyro game canceled.

Our local game store chain has filed for bankruptcy.

Expected, but kinda sucks there are now no brick and mortar game stores anymore, outside of a handful of retro shops. I once liked going to their stores, pick up something new then peruse the secondhand stuff, see what I could find. Alas, one more bit of old school gaming to go.

Wait, do we even have those down here? Wtf, we do. Two pretty close by even. They carry games? Probably pretty weedy selection tho, since they're not a dedicated store.

I'll probably be relying on Bol for Nintendo 1st party from now on. Don't particularly like them, but I can get free €25 coupons through microsoft reward points. I am nothing if not cheap-ass.

They even sell controllers and other peripherals in the one near me. Not a big selection of either, but it's still there. No Xbox games though.

I'm generally sticking to Bol too though. What else can you do?

Holy shit that was fast!
Concord is officially dead now.
Probably the fastest death of a hero-shooter/live-service game that I've ever seen. No really, this has to be a record. I don't think even making this a f2p or non-live service would've helped much, given how they were really vocal about the purpose of this game (hint: it wasn't to provide entertainment)

There is another game called Dustborn and the metaphorical reaper is knocking on the door

Fair enough, I just think it had plenty of negative attentions, but concord overshadowed it.
I keep forgetting Dustborn even exists. What negative attention it got, people are going to forget about within a week or two already. The game is not even worth seeing people's negative reactions.
