2017 isn't going to be a good year for people owning an Xbox One. It's been confirmed that Scalebound, an Xbox One and Windows 10 exclusive title has been canceled.
What upsets me is that Microsoft is really in trouble when it comes to exclusive titles. Last year, they canceled Fable Legends AND shut down Lionhead Studios, the company that has been behind the Fable series. To be fair, the game was in development for quite a while. I did read up on TvTropes and found out that Fable Legends was going to be part of the Games for Windows platform and after the reception it received, Microsoft was worried that they were putting money on something that people wouldn't play, let alone like. So they canceled Fable Legends and shuttered Lionhead and several other studios to put more focus on games that they feel would be profitable to the company.
And yet Sony is doing so much better and by looking at their lineup, they're going to dominate yet again. I feel bad for all who were looking forward to this and I feel bad for PlatinumGames because 2016 was a rough year for them. Many of the games they developed didn't do so well whether it be in reviews or in sales.
TMNT Mutants in Manhattan was a disappointment and it was all done to serve as a tie-in to the TMNT film Out of the Shadows. That film underperformed... and how ironic.
Star Fox Zero... got a very mixed reaction. Some people liked it but many others hated due to the forcing of motion controls and that it's another retelling of Star Fox 64. The worst part about all this? The game sold EVEN LESS than Star Fox Command. So the future of the Star Fox series is very bleak.
I could go on and on but I'll let you guys read the article for yourselves. Still, this is very bad for all involved. I hope PlatinumGames can recover from this. I really am excited for NieR Automata. I played the demo and I loved it but I worry that if that game doesn't do well, they can be in major trouble. Be strong PlatinumGames.

2024 Birthday Wishlist
With my birthday being a month away, I may as well just keep this short. To tell you the truth, I hardly ever visit deviantART nowadays. Made no better by the fact that it seems deviantART is being less fun to use with all the BS they're doing. So my list is basically just going to be as short as possible. How short? Just read and see. Request #1: This one is pretty obvious as you know. Akira Toriyama passed away at the age of 68 and the entire world mourned his passing. It still hurts to this day how influential he was in terms of animation, gaming, etc. So for this one, it involves a character that was done by Toriyama himself. Crono from Chrono Trigger. He did character artwork for the game btw. And if you are wondering, it's him having achieved something deemed unreal. Crono becoming a Super Saiyan. As if it's obvious. Chrono Trigger was the first RPG I ever played, aside from FFVI. But it was a game that I loved dearly and it was how I knew, aside from DBZ in syndication (Ocean
It's all surreal
So yeah, this all happened yesterday and man I feel like shit. Basically, my grandma on my mom's side passed away. She had been in the hospital for four days but yesterday I found out that she has passed on. She has passed at the age of 82, about 8 days before I turn 38. It's just insane but I'm taking this one day at a time. One day at a time.
Birthday Wishlist for 2023
It's that time of the year again. Unfortunately, I'm not on dA much so I'm leaving this list here for anyone who is interested. Just three this time. Simply three. #1 – It's the year of the bunny so basically, this one has the mother/daughter duo of Fujiko Mine and her daughter Riko. They are dressed as cafe bunny maids who are undercover mostly to find some rich scumbag they can hunt down. But the two know that there's another reason, one that finds Riko irritated. Ref for Fujiko Mine: https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/lupin/images/9/93/Fujiko_Part6.png/revision/latest?cb=20210907123443 Ref for Riko Mine: https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/hidannoaria/images/7/78/Hidan_no_Aria_Volume_3_Cover.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20151110081557 #2 – And here's the follow up. Fujiko as well as Sci-Twi dressed as cafe bunny maids comforting a certain blossoming stardust, Roy. Is being loved and comforted. On the left is Fujiko who right now is hugging the sod and his head is right on her upper
So yeah...
For anyone wondering, I haven't been visiting deviantART in quite some time. Why? Because dA pretty much has went downhill ever since Eclipse dropped. Considering that these guys decided to replace something that is timeless for this, pretty much proves that they were in trouble financially. So yeah, you also wonder if there's like no birthday wishlist? This year, I want to give it a rest. Besides, I want to commission one or two people so that way I can get my birthday gift. Plus I want to help artists. A win/win. There are two people that I enjoy commissioning: Hanifanims and jmkplover. So yeah, I hope to get in touch with them soon whenever possible. And besides, helping artists out is the best choice. Plus I prefer to pay in cash, NOT exposure. I am a bit congested too and that sucks. So I need rest first.

Well, what you said there of Starfox Zero, you may want to see this krystalarchive.com/2016/12/miy… . Yes, it was unfortunate to what happened to Zero and Miyamoto is aware of the mixed reception that it got. I don't seriously think that Zero is going to be the "be all, end all" for the series.
Even from that link, Miyamoto said that he will put more effort into the series and you know what? That is good that he is not giving up on the Starfox series. Do I believe we'll get a new game on the Switch for the series? Yeah, I don't see why not. But obviously I don't expect one anytime soon especially since we just got Zero last year. I would probably say 2 or 3 years after the Switch's release, we'll get one in the Switch's lifecycle. Besides, even after Zero's release, those from Platinum Games which even includes Yusuke Hashimoto(director of Zero and Bayonetta 2) and hopefully even Kamiya(stated that he is a SF fan) are still interested in making a sequel to Zero. I think that Platinum Games deserves another chance to make one only this time that they take a bit more control over the game which Miyamoto should be more open on like how Kojima allowed Platinum Games to take control on Metal Gear Rising Revengeance. More importantly, Miyamoto is going to need to embrace online gameplay for the next SF Game and take the series a lot more seriously from that link I placed here in this comment. They do all that and they can get a hit there and most important, give us more than one control option especially traditional controls like the previous games in the series.
Conclusion wise, Nintendo is not going to kill off the series despite what happened to Zero. If they were to kill of the series, then they may as well get rid of Fox from the Smash roster. Same goes for other characters like Samus(Metroid), Olimar(Pikmin) and Captain Falcon(F-Zero). But obviously that is not going to happen. Nintendo has never been known to kill off their established IPs like that regardless.
