I loved playing the hell outta that in the 90s.

From what I understand emulating the game has a lot of issues in graphic errors and such, so once I've got some cash I'm definitely going to pick the game up.
I'm just glad to see more Japanese RPG companies embracing Steam and PC ports. Now if they could just get better at it.
Pokken Tournament. It's a Pokemon fighting game, and it looks pretty fun.
This is the footage from what I think is the first tournament for the game.

That first match, was that the same Justin Wong who got owned by Daigo in that famous Street Fighter video?
Might be? I think this was an Invitational Tourney so they pulled a bunch of big names in the various fighter circles to give the game a try.
Konami is awesome.
THE FUCKING PROTOMEN ARE IN ROCK BAND 4
Misread that as Pokemon. Got a wonderful mental image.
I'm expecting it to be The Will of One, Keep Quiet, Light Up The Night, or possibly one of their many awesome covers... but who knows? We might get one of the two done Act III songs (Hold Back the Night and This City Made Us) instead.
That's cool, but not worth buying Rock Band 4 for.
I just heard about this game via a PC Gamer article. Looks pretty neat. It's a western, but with X-Com controls.
I think this one was featured in the Kickstarter thread a few moons ago

So it looks like Shovel Knight might be coming to Super Smash Bros., with an Amiibo, natch.
Edit: Amiibo confirmed! It will unlock content on the 3DS and Wii U versions, too.

They've already announced the list, it's Light Up The Night, which is what I figured.
The overall setlist is just okay, unfortunately. They seem to be moving away from the mainly classic rock tracks. There's still quite a few, but they're balanced out by a healthy dose of modern stuff I've never heard.
I've been eyeing it.
I want to know what "updated for modern platforms" means.

It's it's on GOG, it almost always means "it will run on modern operating systems".

I haven't looked too closely, but usually it means emulating VESA compliant video in software. It only occasionally causes issues that I've experienced, and I've bought a dozen or so games that use this method from GOG. The only one I ever had issues with was Interstate 76, because that wasn't a dos game and thus couldn't use dosbox to easily emulate the antiquated hardware/drivers, and the direct3d handling was pretty awful back then.
You know, this looks like a lot of fun. Love the swapping body gimmick and it looks like it's being utilized well. We'll have to see once the game drops.
There's a new amiibo on the way...Shovel Knight.
Of course, the rumor is that we might be getting Shovel Knight as a DLC character for Smash Brothers as well. Him and Shantae were some of the top picks from that pool they did a few months back AND are from companies that Nintendo is actually on good terms with.
They just got a pretty big payday from WoW for doing a short series on it. It was a COMPLETE DISASTER but entertaining.
They're on good terms with a few names in various fields. Holly/Ross are good with Yacht Club, and Arin/Danny talk about knowing Justin Roiland (Rick & Morty, AT) pretty often (and the guy's Tweeted about wanting to be on the show).
