They added a general disclaimer that some dialogue is inappropriate for modern times and not representative of Capcom's current values. Some examples, courtesy of the ESRB:

The game contains some suggestive material in the dialogue (e.g., “Stop peeking! You Pervert”; "Her measurements are 33,22,33”; “You missed out on seeing [her] naked.”).

There's nothing visual going on, it's just "spicy" dialogue, but I support their decision to add a disclaimer. But merely acknowledging this is too much for these people...

MEGA MAN STAR FORCE REFERENCE

The Transer (heh) [...] is a mobile terminal that appears in Mega Man Star Force as an evolution of the PErsonal Terminal from the Mega Man Battle Network series. Most people wear their Transers on their arms[, but it can also be detached from the wriststrap].

The Transer is just a wearable Nintendo DS in form, because that's the platform the game is on, and instead of apps, you insert different physical cards, as the battle system has card game elements. Gimmick-based worldbuilding.

Coincidentally, it was released in Japan in December of 2006.

What am I supposed to be looking at? I couldn't find anything of the sort in the edit history. I did find this in the "Talk" page, however:

I looked up what this flag is about.

The flag bears the Arabic phrase, “Ya la-Tharat al-Hussein,” which can be translated in English as, “O ye avengers of Hussein.” As Muhammad’s grandson, Hussein is one of the most sacred figures of Shia Islam, in which he is the incarnation of justice. He was killed in the year 680 at the battle of Karbala, in present-day Iraq, by caliph Yazid’s troops.

This battle and Hussein’s martyrdom are the founding elements for Shia Islam, and mark a definitive schism with Sunni Islam. According to certain Iranian Shia traditions, “Ya la-Thara al-Hussein,” should be a rallying cry for believers upon the return of the Hidden Imam, the last of twelve imams recognized in Imamiyyah, the largest branch of Shia Islam.

It's flown regularly in the first month of the Islamic calendar. For Shia Muslims, it's a period of mourning dedicated to him. Outside of that, it's on moments like this, meant as a sort of rallying cry.

Wikipedia claims that "it also flown [sic] in response to the COVID-19 pandemic in Iran whenever a milestone of casualties was reached", but I couldn't find sources for it elsewhere.

Also Total Recall

Battle Network!!

(Haven't played it yet, but have played Star Force and get happy when I see anything Mega Man-related)

Reminds me of the Nisour Square Massacre in Baghdad by Blackwater mercenaries:

One of the senior military officers who testified before the grand jury, Col. Michael Tarsa, said that he rushed to the scene and came upon a “white Kia with two corpses inside, decimated with bullet holes and on fire,” the report said. He also saw other nearby vehicles “riddled with bullet holes,” even though they were “apparently fleeing the shooting.”

It's an isekai lol

It's VERY bright and colourful. It kinda looks like they made a Mario game with an engine used for anime games. They seem to continue the trend set by Wonder in making things very bold and expressive, now with cel shading.

And it's no longer constrained by the 3DS screen resolution, it's such a big improvement.

This new world seems to revolve around electrical stuff it seems. People made out of plugs and sockets and all that.

Anyway, glad that this series gets continued after the original developer shut down.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Barks

Carl Barks (March 27, 1901 – August 25, 2000) was an American cartoonist, author, and painter. He is best known for his work in Disney comic books, as the writer and artist of the first Donald Duck stories and as the creator of Scrooge McDuck.

Wouldn't that relatively low price be offset by Russian salaries being way lower than American ones? Even the median salary in Moscow, where the creator lives, is significantly lower. Recent figures on purchasing power in Russia only go back to 2022, where $1 is equivalent to approx. 30 rub. (source: OECD) That would make the "true" price of that wedge of cheese $6.67

My mother is Russian and has some contacts and family in Russia. She went to Saint Petersburg last year for personal matters. She often talks about how little the ruble is worth and things being more expensive. Is she exagerrating?
