The Game Idea Guy Discussions

So this discussion is kind of filled with different things. Xenoblade Chronicles 3 gets an earlier release date, the Sonic Origins Chart is a mess and Xbox and Sony gamers fighting each other.

Now, I will admit that I have heard some pretty poor takes about things in my life but this one seems to take the cake massively. And IGN tries to paint Digital Foundry as an authority on the development of Nintendo's games which just makes them even less credible than they were before.

This is something that I haven't really thought much into at first, but when I really thought about it, this seems to be the accepted train of thought.

For tonight's episode of #TheXZone, we bring together two titans of gaming, #Mario and #Sonic...and throw them in GoKARTS! And though this episode of The X Zone is short, it could lead to very big things should Nintendo and Sega deem it a worthwhile idea to utilize. Just imagine how fun this crossover could be. The images used in this video DO NOT belong to me and are the property of their respect...

For the 11th episode of The X Zone, we combine the likes of Shinobi with Ninja Gaiden. This one was one of the crossovers that I wanted to do for quite a while and since the series is back in full swing, I thought that I would get this one done too. Hopefully, the next one won't be delayed multiple times before going live.

This is something that I just wanted to talk about since there are large amounts of gamers claiming to love the Wii U and that they miss it.

This What If covers what I believe would have happened had Microsoft had the forethought to include the HD DVD Drive in the Xbox 360 instead of making it a separate device. Could HD DVD have won the format war with Blu-Ray if they would have done it? Would the 360 versions of games that were multi-disc only be one disc with HD DVD being their format? These are things I talk about here.

For this What If...I decided to take one of Sega's two options for 5th Generation and run myself through what it could have provided as the singular platform they would have released. I already did this for the Sega Saturn (https://youtu.be/xy55FJhr8xk), so I decided to do it for the 32X as well. Let's see where it goes.

In this episode of Manga 2 Game, I cover one of my favorite Animes...Record of Lodoss War. Now there have been games for this series in the past, but...I got to wondering what would happen if BioWare, specifically the team that makes Dragon Age, would put their spin on the franchise and how that would look. It's something that could be awesome, which is why this crossed my mind and now I share it...

I decided to give my thoughts on the recent announcement of the Cowabunga Collection and my hopes for the direction that it could mean Konami will go.

It's been a little over 6 years since I have done an episode of The X Zone. And today...that streak comes to an end. Final Fight and Streets of Rage is the Beat 'Em Up/Brawler crossover that many people have been wanting and craving for a very long time. So...I decided that I would give the idea a go myself. I hope that you find this return to my crossover series to be satisfactory and that you ar...

Welcome to the introductory episode of Manga 2 Game. In this first discussion, I cover what I think would be a great video game tie-in to the Casshern Sins anime. For those who have seen the anime and are fans of Casshern in general, we know that there was a great war that took place and Robots ended up being the ones to win said war. Well, how did that go, what was Casshern's role in it all, and...

So I got to think a little bit more about that Street Fighter 6 Trailer and I am still not quite sure that the direction Capcom is planning to head with the game. So I just express how I feel about it currently.

This discussion was originally released on YouTube on February 29, 2016. In this episode of "The X Zone" I wax poetic about how great it would have been to have a Marvel vs DC game created by Capcom in the style of Marvel vs Capcom 2. Sadly...we will never see that one happen. #MarvelComics #DCComics #Crossover #GameIdeas #Capcom #MarvelvsDC #FightingGame #SuperHeroes #TheGameIdeaGuy

So I wanted to discuss this sooner...but I didn't for the fact that I would have been scathing before. However I didn't quite stay on the track I had planned.

So for this discussion, I figured I would delve a little more into the 7th Generation. Now, when I ask this particular question, I don't ask it in the thought process that it was an intentional botching, just treating it as a thought experiment.

Three subjects all related to handheld gaming machines. Come, give it a listen and share your thoughts as well.

So I have followed some of the information about the Steam Deck and wanted to talk about it from my own perspective. So here is that.

I decided to just run over my thoughts on this matter. It really does make me curious why it is so important to many that the Switch be an 8th Gen console vs 9th.

This discussion was originally released on YouTube on January 31, 2016. In this episode of "The X Zone", I talk about how good it would be to have a Marvel's Ultimate Alliance type of game for the Justice League and the Avengers. #TheAvengers #TheJusticeLeague #DCComics #MarvelComics #Crossovers #VideoGames #GameIdeas #TheGameIdeaGuy

This is a curious question that I had in my head that I think needs to be reflected and thought upon because of the crazy success that the Nintendo Switch has had. Will Nintendo be able to keep the momentum going into their next platform?

So we had a few different items pop up in gaming news recently that I had to give some quick thoughts on.

This video was originally released on YouTube on November 30, 2015. In this episode of "The X Zone", I take on the task of coming up with a dedicated crossover game for the likes of Nintendo and Capcom that utilizes the gameplay style of the Power Stone series.

So with everyone being angry at Nintendo for warning them a year in advance and telling everyone that they will be shutting down the Wii U and 3DS eShops as well as many proclaiming that they somehow loved the Wii U and didn't say the 3DS needed to be dead when the Switch launched...I decided to have myself a little rant.

This video was originally released on October 31, 2015. In this episode of "The X Zone", I decided to think over what a crossover between Vampire Hunter D and Castlevania would look like. I think the result of this one is interesting.
