Zeboyd Games is proud to announce Cosmic Star Heroine Legend, an exciting new portable RPG coming exclusively to the Nintendo Game Boy.

Join Alyssa, Chahn, and Dave on an epic RPG journey across the Zevanii system (other characters not included due to memory issues). Originally intended as a Breath of Death spin-off but later changed to Cosmic Star Heroine for better name recognition, Cosmic Star Heroine Legend is sure to delight players, both old and young. Taking inspiration from such classic RPGs as Great Greed, Knight Quest, and Sword of Hope, Cosmic Star Heroine Legend is destined to become an instant modern-day classic.

“With an install base of over 64 million systems, if Cosmic Star Heroine sells to just 5% of the total installbase, we’ll make a fortune!” said Zeboyd Games designer, Robert Boyd. “And what better way to test the market for our games on Nintendo platforms than by supporting one of the most iconic Nintendo systems of all time?”

Cosmic Star Heroine Legend is scheduled to come out April 1, 2017. Following the examples of Square-Enix and Atlus, the expected MSRP is going to be $49.99.

Hopefully not already posted, Payday 2 has a new character coming, but who could it be?!



I mean... they name them right before asking who it is, so maybe not the best ploy ever.

Here's the site, turn your volume down before going though. It gets loud. http://www.overkillsoftware.com/games/collectorpack/

EDIT: Well dang...

They should add that music in game, awesome remix.


Can't believe there are people in the comments for the youtube video that are disappointed that this isn't real, Sonic fans will just buy anything won't they.

Imagine if a game was to be announced on April Fool's Day, only to find out its a legitimate announcement.
Has that, or anything similar, happened before?

If I remember, Conker was announced on April 1st. A month later we realized it was legit.
 
Is there a site backing up some of the Japanese ones? Capcom's pulled down the Sherlock Hound one, even made the trailer private, and I wanted to save a copy.

Final Fantasy VI is Hardcore Gaming 101's Weekly Kusoge (aka Awful Game): http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/kusoge/kusoge-finalfantasy6.htm

Remember the Final Fantasy series? Sure everyone knows about Final Fantasy VII and Final Fantasy XIII with all their spinoff games and stuff, but were you aware that there were Final Fantasy games even on the SNES? Most of them are better off forgotten, but for some reason Final Fantasy VI in particular has developed a strong cult following. Absent from US shores until the GBA version came out (SquareSoft did a weird thing where they gave us 1, 2 and 3 but then skipped to 7 out of nowhere), people always talk about Final Fantasy VI like it's a lost holy grail of SquareSoft's RPG making.

Like a lot of old games, most of that is just nostalgia, and Final Fantasy VI is pretty middling when you really get down to it. First off it has no graphics, just hand drawn stuff like Killer Instinct. But even worse, the characters are barely animated. They have these huge drawings of monsters and big guys that look nice but don't even move! The sound design isn't much better. Most of it is pretty slow and they use an organ a lot. It's uncertain why they made a decision to avoid the chintzy Mario Paint trumpets in the old games and then just use a chintzy organ instead for almost everything.
