Mar 11, 2024, 6:17 AM CuriousUserX90 Game: Marvel: Ultimate Alliance Whilst I appreciate as usual how things that even I didn't notice was able to be noticed upon when it comes to certain versions of a game, how exactly does this one in particular relate to the PS2, PSP and Xbox versions of Marvel: Ultimate Alliance?
Mar 2, 2024, 10:17 PM VinchVolt Game: Bravely Default II No worries; should also remove instances of "has" and "have now" to reflect the change in tense.
Mar 2, 2024, 6:19 PM ProtoSnake Game: Bravely Default II Thanks, I forgot about that.
Mar 2, 2024, 6:07 PM VinchVolt Game: Bravely Default II Might want to make it clear that the announcement happened in December 2021. The way it's currently worded makes it seem like the game took until very recently to clear that milestone.
Feb 26, 2024, 6:07 AM VinchVolt Game: Super Mario Maker 2 Those styles aren't featured in the Instagram video. Even then, Super Mario Bros. 3 (1988) was released during the Shōwa era (1926-1989) and New Super Mario Bros. U (2012) was released during the Heisei era (1989-2019).
Feb 26, 2024, 5:21 AM CuriousUserX90 Game: Super Mario Maker 2 Do the Super Mario Bros. 3 and New Super Mario Bros. U styles really not represent anything of this Reiwa Era?
Feb 25, 2024, 12:58 PM Rocko & Heffer Game: Kingdom Hearts III I can somewhat understand where Disney corporate could be coming from on this: Oswald has never had a "modern" design (pale fur, sclera), so - unless they wanted to do Timeless River again - they'd basically have to make an all-new character design for him.
Feb 25, 2024, 5:16 AM CuriousUserX90 Game: Kingdom Hearts Welcome back PirateGoofy, first submission from you on the new VGFacts.
Feb 23, 2024, 5:54 AM CuriousUserX90 Franchise: Killer Instinct Ah now I see: https://www.vgfacts.com/game/killerinstinctgold/trivia-6108/

So Killer Instinct 3 was definitely a no show, and the 2013 game is certainly not that.
Feb 22, 2024, 9:25 PM Petie Game: Pikmin 2 I'm pretty sure it was covered in that video as well as TCRF. I'm not able to verify at the moment but when I originally looked into this, it all seemed to add up.
Feb 22, 2024, 2:16 PM ZpaceJ0ck0 Franchise: Killer Instinct Not exactly. Killer Instinct Gold is just the N64 port of Killer Instinct 2. This pitch was after that.
Feb 22, 2024, 11:24 AM CuriousUserX90 Franchise: Killer Instinct I suppose that this Killer Instinct 3 is what ended up becoming Killer Instinct Gold.
Feb 22, 2024, 5:56 AM CuriousUserX90 Game: Pikmin 2 Which one in particular was removed though? The special results screen one or the one that was discovered in 2019?
Feb 21, 2024, 7:30 PM Petie Game: Pikmin 2 It's being mentioned that it was removed elsewhere because it was removed. The only ways to trigger this in the New Play Control version require modifying the games files in some way.
Feb 21, 2024, 7:15 AM CuriousUserX90 Game: Pikmin 2 Guess Totaka's song is in the New Play Control version after all: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7v9We_dGgU

Not sure why there would be a mentioning of it not being there elsewhere on the internet, unless they were referring to that other instance:

Feb 20, 2024, 4:37 PM * Tuli0hWut Game: Dragon Ball Z: The Legacy of Goku II The game on the lower left appears to be PilotWings. The one on the upper right seems to be either E.V.O. Search for Eden or Paladin's Quest.
Feb 17, 2024, 8:13 PM Rocko & Heffer Game: Crash Bandicoot I've always prefered the Crash gameplay style over the Mario 64 style. I've always wished people were more willing to experiment with the Crash formula, there's a lot of potential there, and I think a lot of 3D platformers (particularly those that aren't outright collectathons, like the 3D Sonic games) would've benefitted from a bit more Crash DNA, particularly when it comes to controls.
Feb 14, 2024, 2:14 PM CuriousUserX90 Game: Eternity's Child Impressive to hear that Shane Gill of DidYouKnowGaming was once involved in developing games before DidYouKnowGaming first came to be, like the PC game which did not sucessfully come to purely gaming platforms as the team behind it intended.
Feb 14, 2024, 2:11 PM CuriousUserX90 Game: Eternity's Child I'm confused right now about if the WiiWare version of the game ever released or if that too was cancelled.
Feb 13, 2024, 6:57 AM * CuriousUserX90 Game: Alone in the Dark Now I have made an edit to the submission mentioning the remake that is coming to Xbox Series X and PS5, of which I hopefully phrased right.

EDIT: Thanks for allowing the submission to update. Sorry though that I can't remember what symbols to use for developers, and using the | in Xbox Series X|S doesn't seem to be recognised as not being something that links something else.

ANOTHER EDIT: Now I remember what symbols to use for developers: ({.
Feb 13, 2024, 5:43 AM CuriousUserX90 Game: Star Fox 64 Nintendo's very first game to have full voice acting almost had the characters voiced by the development team. I suppose this intention was before Nintendo tasked Seattle based voice actors for most of their games when they started to use voice acting, though it can explain why Leslie Swan would voice Peach in the western versions of SM64 and MK64.
Feb 12, 2024, 8:54 AM CuriousUserX90 Game: Sonic X Shadow Generations Never mind, it actually has the Expanded Game tag, meaning it can have a VGFacts page, unlike Sonic Colours Ultimate despite it's differences and additional features.
Feb 9, 2024, 7:04 AM CuriousUserX90 Game: Alone in the Dark Did not mean to report this submission, what I said was meant for the comments. Basically I was wondering if an upcoming Xbox Series X and PS5 game might have something to do with the cancelled Alone In The Dark remake being referred to.
Feb 7, 2024, 1:55 PM CuriousUserX90 Game: Star Fox Lots of games have name differences in Germany then they do in the UK and Australia I thought, thus making this PAL name change just because of Germany questionable. It would be like those other words with similar spellings that replace the F with a V and vice versa.
Feb 7, 2024, 1:52 PM CuriousUserX90 Game: Sonic X Shadow Generations Thought Sonic X Shadow Generations was marked as a remaster on IGDB, the sorts of games that currently aren't able to have VGFacts pages.
Feb 5, 2024, 6:00 PM MehDeletingLater Game: Senran Kagura 2: Deep Crimson This submission was revised before publishing to account for this, and also added info from the source about another preview in the same magazine issue.
Feb 5, 2024, 5:19 PM ProtoSnake Game: Senran Kagura 2: Deep Crimson I was told it was fine. Besides, I found it on Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Senran_Kagura#Controversy).
Feb 5, 2024, 4:15 PM Rocko & Heffer Game: Senran Kagura 2: Deep Crimson I never said the fact itself was opinionated, just the wording used.
Feb 5, 2024, 4:15 PM ProtoSnake Game: Senran Kagura 2: Deep Crimson More like factual rather than opinionated. It highlights the criticism from the Official Nintendo Magazine UK toward the Senran Kagura series, specifically Senran Kagura 2: Deep Crimson, and the subsequent response from Hatsuu, Production Coordinator at Xseed Games. The article does not express a personal opinion but rather reports on events and statements made by the involved parties.
Feb 5, 2024, 3:20 PM Rocko & Heffer Game: Senran Kagura 2: Deep Crimson I think the wording of this reads as a bit opinionated.
Feb 2, 2024, 11:24 PM chocolatejr9 Platform: Nintendo Switch Going off of Wikipedia, that would depend on whether or not the debt would count as "grossly disproportional to the gravity of the defendant’s offense" (see United States v. Bajakajian, the first and currently only time a fine was declared unconstitutional under the Eighth Amendment).
Feb 2, 2024, 2:21 PM Venomspino Game: Sonic Battle Plus they mentioned E-123 Omega, and Shadow has his memories. So it would take place after Shadow.
Feb 2, 2024, 8:02 AM CuriousUserX90 Game: Sonic Battle Well whenever Sonic Battle does take place would have to be after the events of Sonic Heroes, the game that showed what became of Shadow after Sonic Adventure 2, although it wasn't exactly the first time to establish his partnership with Rouge.
Feb 2, 2024, 4:50 AM Venomspino Game: Sonic Battle That honestly is dumb, because Advance 3 is canon, and Gemerl is based on Emerl.
Feb 2, 2024, 3:17 AM Shockwave Platform: Nintendo Switch good to put away a couple of pirates but at the same time, did Nintendo break the 8th amendment with the large amount of debt?
Feb 2, 2024, 2:16 AM ProtoSnake Platform: Nintendo Switch Thanks a lot. The more, the merrier.
Feb 2, 2024, 12:06 AM MehDeletingLater Platform: Nintendo Switch All good, had a tab still open and was able to recover it.
Feb 2, 2024, 12:04 AM Petie Platform: Nintendo Switch I think we edited this at the same time and I overwrote your changes - sorry about that! Looks like you were able to get it back though.
Feb 2, 2024, 12:00 AM MehDeletingLater Platform: Nintendo Switch This has all been added to the submission, thank you.
Feb 1, 2024, 6:46 PM VinchVolt Platform: Nintendo Switch Might be worth rewording this for the sake of improving the flow of it. Something like this:

"In 2020, hackers Gary Bowser and Max "MAXiMiLiEN" Louarn were arrested and extradited to the United States for money laundering and selling products meant to crack the Nintendo Switch's copy protection to run pirated copies of games. The two were members of Team Xecuter, a hacking group which specialized in similar measures for a large number of Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft consoles. In 2021, Bowser pled guilty on conspiracy and trafficking charges and was sentenced to 40 months in prison; Nintendo later filed a separate civil suit against him, which together with the prison sentence left him $14.5 million in debt. The company's legal department claimed during the court case that the unusually severe punishments were intended to send a chilling effect through the piracy world, intimidating would-be hackers by using Bowser's punishment as an example.

Following the case, multiple news outlets noted the irony of Gary Bowser's last name, which is shared with Nintendo of America president Doug Bowser and Mario series antagonist Bowser."
