Limited Run Games and Capcom Presentation Thoughts - E3 2021!
The last two presentations before Nintendo’s E3 Direct (as well Namco Bandai’s presentation and an awards show) and they... things.
My primary system these days is the Xbox Series X so Limited Run Game’s presentation with it’s PlayStation focus didn’t appeal as much for me. I got really excited about the Shantae bundle but then it was revealed to be for the PS5 only... still hoping for a physical release of Shantae and the Seven Sirens for either Xbox Series X or at least Nintendo Switch.
That said, a couple games did have me intrigued me such as the stealth game Republique and the Mega Man Battle Network spiritual successor with cute girls; One Step From Eden. If either of them get a physical release on my two current consoles then they are a purchase to consider.
Also, the official release of an English version of Castlevania: Rondo of Blood for the TurboGrafx CD was uniquely awesome. So in retrospect, the Limited Run Games actually was somewhat decent... though their humour, enjoyable at first, did start to get a tad grating.
As for the Capcom Presentation... it was awful but not because of the games shown. Monster Hunter Stories 2 and and The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles both look fantastic and had amazing coverage in their presentation. The problem came from how little was in Capcom’s presentation, particularly the complete lack of a new reveal. It is shocking that they didn’t reveal a single new game, even with just a trailer.
