this starts in ~5 mins, can't focus on it super hard atm but I'll keep an ear out sp.live.nicovideo.jp/watch/lv325309…🇯🇵
(typo'd the time in that last tweet too, sorry if I threw anyone off)
oh and youtube link, if you'd prefer
nobody cares but nothing's happening so, awards

Best Rookie (best IP debut, not new first-time dev): Death Stranding

Best Indie: Gnosia (the anime werewolf game IGN JP went nuts for, it's coming to Switch in a couple weeks)

Best Shooter: Apex Legends

Best eSports: Fortnite
best online game: FF14

best streamer: Junichi Kato

...and now it's a talk break
M2's video is live now
excuse the low-res screenshots: M2 just showed these Toaplan games on stream

Kyuukyoku Tiger (Twin Cobra)
Tatsujin-ou (Truxton II)
Hishouzame (Flying Shark)
Outzone
I'll go back and check but they didn't give many details, just that they were announcing these and they had many others running

they also announced their arcade game Senjin will launch on APM3 this fall, they also showed some short clips & explained the ship-switching system
(I neglected to screen-grab the Senjin stuff, oops)

basically, the 4 ships have different specs and grabbing the A/B/C/D pickups lets you switch ships in real time, and you also switch out when you die
idk when the world turned around on Tatsujin-ou but I hope you're all happy
oh and fyi, I added the English titles next to the JP ones for the sake of familiarity but the JP & overseas versions of Toaplan's games are balanced quite differently and there's no indication or guarantee tha these M2STG releases will include the version you might be used to

here's a neat discovery by a Xevious fanatic: AC Xevious has a table overflow bug that spawns a ridiculous amount of enemies in a manner that's coincidentally similar to the fictional "2000-Man Assault" scene depicted in the Famicom Rocky Xevious manga
the guy initially triggered it by hacking the ROM but the above video shows it working on the unmodified game, he's been sharing his analysis here, including the exact steps necessary to trigger the bug on genuine hardware landhere.jp/blog/a1864.html🇯🇵
btw, the very final Namco Catalog IP game, released just a week before Bannam pulled the licenses, was a recreation of the aforementioned manga scene—if you're curious, there's a writeup here gamecast-blog.com/archives/65960…🇯🇵

I see ppl passing around a quote re: Sega Ages and SegaSonic and it's a little misleading—the interviewer brought up SegaSonic as part of a broader question about post-S2 games & the supervisor's only real direct comment about it was "trackball games come with their own issues…"
that & "we didn't know abtt Mighty/Ray in Mania when picking the lineup, so that wasn't a factor"

the gist of the quote is fine ("Sonic & Puyo are big IP so they got 2 games each, I decided on entries 1 & 2 for both, if they sell then we might do later ones") but it was a...
...boilerplate sort of response so I wouldn't pin too much on it

Sonic CD designer Masato Nishimura: "after tidying my room, I found some Mega Drive-era Sonic spec documents, which I'd previously presumed lost, much to my regret. today was a great day... work-from-home rules!"🇯🇵
for the unaware, Nishimura not only designed environment art for Sonic CD but he also provided Sonic's voice!

he was also responsible for this infamous easter egg—it comes across as much creepier than intended in the NA version due to the different music
obligatory plug: I'm keeping database of arcades & gaming spaces around the world that are crowdfunding or otherwise requesting alternate methods of support while people are self-quarantining—please share & let me know if your local venue's not listed!
