Bandai Namco has announced the action-RPG title That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime ISEKAI Chronicles. For the occasion, a trailer was aired:

​


In That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime ISEKAI Chronicles, players will follow leader Rimuru Tempest and companions as they build a nation, the Jura Tempest Federation, from the ground up and develop it. This 2D side-scrolling RPG follows the original story, including the encounters with the Kijin and the battle against the Kingdom of Falmuth, making it a great way for newcomers to discover the universe. It also includes two additional exclusive stories supervised by the original author, Fuse. Players can expect new characters designed by the original illustrator of the series to go along with these new stories, creating a fresh experience that longtime fans will be sure to enjoy!


Leaving town, players will discover the world of Tempest through exploration, where heated battles against foes and bosses await alongside dynamic combos and techniques from the anime. They will also be able to take on sub-quests when back in town, helping their companions, strengthening their relationships and fighting skills at the same time.

The title of this anime was always weird to me. It gives me: Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? vibes. I haven't seen it yet so i can't judge if it's good or not.

I feel like it’s a trend of “long awkward names” actually. I was also bored and looked up that it is an exact translation of the Japanese title, but also in Japan it’s labeled as “Regarding Reincarnated to Slime”

For a while it was pretty common for light novels to get these long and awkward names, which then get turned into manga and so on. Haven't seen that many recently, so the trend seems to be regressing?
One of my favorites is: "Wakamono no Kuro Mahou Hanare ga Shinkoku desu ga, Shuushoku shite Mitara Taiguu Iishi, Shachou mo Tsukaima mo Kawaikute Saikou desu!" which got translated to "Though Young People Recoil From Entering the Black Magic Industry, I Found Its Treatment of Employees Quite Good When I Entered It, and the President and Familiar Are Cute Too So Everything Is Awesome!"
That is overly long and awkward :D

It is a trend indeed

Game looks decent. Battle system is like the 2D Tales of games. Guessing they are using the same engine. Makes sense since the Tales of games are from the same company.

japan is the king of terrible names, IDK what started this trend over there but why are their titles always super long sentences or questions

The thing is super long English titles can be represented with only a few characters of Kanji. So in Japanese, the titles may not look excessively long, but they don't translate into English that well.
Also, the Japanese habit of just making the titles an exact description of what the media (game, anime, whatever) is about is rather lazy. English titles are usually more subtle than that, which makes direct translations of Japanese titles look weird.
Not everybody does it. My Hero Academia is a reasonable title in both English and Japanese. But it is extremely common for some reason. Especially in H-games.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space
