    This seems heavily dependent on the player being used. The Panasonic UB420 I have seems to do a reasonable job with only a change to a single setting that I guess affects the overall range of luminance of the image, as it seems to take care of that issue. In its default setting at least with my...

    I considered that but since it limited ordering to direct from Arrow I decided against it, and I like the disc case are for both sets and might actually prefer that on the regular. Arrow's store is fine but their packaging has been variable in my experience. Just be aware of something so there...

    Koei Tecmo has been moving to global releases where the Japanese versions of games contain English language support. This is true for Nioh 3, Fatal Frame II remake, and the Atelier Ryza DX trilogy. Since Blue Reflection Quartet has the same release date everywhere, I think there is a good chance...

    I'm so very glad this isn't digipaks; I really really dislike them. But Arrow has been using the thinner cases for sets with four or more cases so this may be those. I'm ok with that though would prefer the 14mm. Yes, you are very likely correct, especially with the WB licenses Arrow has done a...

    Arrow just announced a Jackie Chan box set of his Golden Harvest films owned by Warner Brothers, some of which up to now have only really been available in shortened and dubbed-only versions. https://www.arrowfilms.com/p/4k/jackie-chan-s-breakout-hits-limited-edition-4k-ultra-hd/17782066/ I'm...

    Oh, right. That's just a standard edition rerelease of the previous LE set though, I think, and it's for the US/Region A only as Eureka still has these for the UK as far as I know. I saw these mentioned but didn't see anything on them from 88 so I had forgotten.

    Isn't it only Armour of God, or was there something else too?

    This is exactly my view. Since I don't have a Switch 2 nor intend to buy one, I don't have to make the decision, but if I did, I'm pretty sure I'd just buy digital over GKCs. I don't sell games so that aspect of GKCs is irrelevant to me. Nintendo should have made it where regular carts could...

    There's a lot of confusion on this for some reason, perhaps in part because I don't think how NISA has worded some things is that clear. Gematsu's article on the release date still claims there is a Switch 2 version. https://www.gematsu.com/2026/03/starbites-launches-may-21-in-the-west NISA's...

    Just to clarify something here, as I keep seeing the implication that the reason this is canceled is because of it being a GKC. The game is canceled for Switch 2 period, no digital version either. Most likely this is due to the fact that the game has never existed for the Switch 2; there is no...

    Certain celebrity deaths affect me somehow in ways unexpected. This is one of those. :( I stumbled onto this archived article where he gives some anecdotes and how he felt about his various films. This appears to come from 2012 so I thought it was interesting as I believe he generally didn't...

    From what I have seen, I think it's terrible. It's destroying artists' intent. If it catches on, games may not be designed with any real artistry to them at all and just let the AI do it all. Ugh. :( I don't like the current versions of this upscaling and frame generation like the current DLSS...
