If Tom plays date everything chat is making him date the lamp

[@shadic4566]

I couldn't help but imagine Lord Don'ator going ballistic seeing the lamp in human form.

[@TwiliXgirl]

Absolutely!

[@peachymiku6432]

@@shadic4566 it's inevitable! 😹

[@Jygerthe2nd]

...In case anyone wasn't watching and is curious, yes, we're now 2 for 2 with the past couple of Directs for making Max Dood scream for joy. lol

[@nahte123456]

I'm waiting for his reaction to land on KZbin

[@YukiMizuno]

PLAY TRAILS IN THE SKY PLEASE! Not just Tom, but everyone!

[@sansthedog]

TRUE ITS PEEEAK

[@InsiderCrash]

Trails fans when Trails.

[@superkingdynamic1863]

I just bought Trails of Coldsteel on Steam which will be my first of the series, so it was nice to see it.

[@cpt6628]

YESSS

[@fictionfan3699]

I've been tempted to get into it but didn't have a reliable way to play the Sky games, so I was going to just watch playthoughs and start from the Crossbell games I'm still going to do that for some of the games, but the fact I have a way yo play the first game is still awesome.

[@eddmario]

Fun fact: Date Everything actually has a bunch of big name anime and video game voice actors in it, including Ray Chase, Laura Bailey, ProZD, and Johnny Yong Bosch.

[@Some__Guy]

FeelsBadMan when everyone is dunking on "Another anime farming sim" when Rune Factory has been around since the DS era, way before the trend started. It's a Harvest Moon spin-off that basically just mixes Harvest Moon farming and character relationships with RPG crafting, combat, and dungeon exploring.

[@TwiliXgirl]

Rune Factorys 3 and 4 are my favorite Harvest Moon games

[@lukethephantomthief]

Pizza Tower and the Castlevania DS Collection got me happy

[@beatziegraham6928]

I’m getting them both as soon as I get home later.

[@bentheherod3373]

As a Rune Factory fan it’s gonna be interesting finally seeing Azuma as it’s been known about since the second game but just been used as background for the Japanese inspired characters throughout the series

[@RuiTsuki]

Yeah saaame. Also grown-up Hina in the ranger garb from Rigbarth at the end made me very happy. I know the guests from previous games are a series-tradition, but seeing them still makes me smile

[@mechaswool]

Tom, I'm begging you: play Trails. It's *phenomenal*. Whether it's starting with the remake of Sky FC or the version on PC that already exists, I highly recommend it.

[@PokerJoker811]

I think we can all agree that if Tom does play Pizza Tower, he should bring Jerod in to co-comm.

[@Link200767]

i'm surprised they didnt start with Yakuza 0

[@SpecRose]

To be fair to there being a lot of remasters, that also tends to be true towards the end of a system's life that it starts getting more ports and remasters as cheaper, easier things to put out as a buffer while they prep the next console. and we know the switch 2 reveal is coming by March of next year at the latest, and probably earlier than that. So that's likely at least a part of why so much of those, on top of easy cash grabs, is development of big new stuff for Nintendo may be on the next system now and waiting for it's reveal.

[@Sybato]

Yeah I'm perfectly fine with it, especially since I've never played games like Suidoken I & II (those are expensive now) or Trails in the Sky.

[@TdogEN]

Tales of graces F getting a remaster made my day! Cannot wait for January 🎉🎉🎉

[@theoaremevano3227]

Which character do you usually play? :)

[@shuruihageshiga4581]

6:41 Coffee talk Tokyo is giving me Valhalla vibes

[@assassingamer1318]

Coffee talk is inspired by VA-11 Hall-A

[@shuruihageshiga4581]

@@assassingamer1318 What about the game Y2K that's similar to VA-11 Hall-A

[@colinmacv]

My Sims agents was actually a ton of fun. I wish that was in the bundle

[@BraxtonAveryJones]

Tom, you HAVE to play Sea of Stars, it is SO GOOD

[@TentaCole]

My favorite announcements were Pizza Tower, The Plucky Squire, and My Sims.

[@spindash64]

CHAIREM ANIME IS REAL

[@theoaremevano3227]

Graces F on PS3 also comes with the main story DLC Lineage and Legacies (why it's called F instead of just Tales of Graces), and apart from that it appears they stuck in past outfits they released for it. At least they're getting around to more games, but I hope they do a better job upgrading it technically. Also, it has one of the best title screens I've ever seen for an RPG. Damn, it's good. :D And yeah... it is rather funny seeing them gloss over Sophie's consistent age there.... lotta stuff hiding in that jump cut. XD

[@VictusBcb]

*Me at 7:50*: Suplex the train~! Oh ha! We on the same vibe Tom

[@tedioustotoro4885]

While it was mainly the DS versions I played, seeing MySims in the presentation was one of the few times I’ve felt actual nostalgia

[@MrMcJazzhands]

with so many RPGs announced, I had the weird question of "what on earth would a German answer to the JRPG look like?" and now I can't stop thinking about it.

[@Sybato]

There's three things that are certain in life: taxes, death and Tetris.

[@anerdwithamic]

When I saw the Yakuza Kiwami port I actually cried out of joy 😭

[@TeruteruBozusama]

After a bad Wii U port of 1+2 (which also came out for PS3) some of the team swore off making a game for a Nintendo console again. So this is really good..! Wait...the team also made F-Zero GX, now that they're making games for Nintendo consoles again... Possible GX remake and/or new game?

[@anerdwithamic]

@@TeruteruBozusama If we got F-Zero '99, anything's possible

[@revzsaz9418]

Thanks Tom 🍻 I don't think I'd've seen this without your posting it. Have a good day man

[@thewing1000]

i hope you would lp date everything that sounds like a perfect game to flext those range of voices you can do

[@digdug4451]

Peglin is so much fun. Been playing on PC for months now

[@PKSandman]

Same. Bought the game a while ago on Steam and while it is aggravating at times, it is still very much good fun.

[@AdrianBigyes]

5:20 Peak comedy

[@HellfireComms]

Pretty happy about the DS Castlevania collection.

[@GamerChris64]

I will not tolerate MySims slander on *my* Tom Fawkes channel

[@natron0331]

17:56 my life if finally complete

[@Drybones2015]

MySims wasn't shovelware, lol. At least the 3 "main" games weren't. Calling MySims Party shovelware I'll allow though.

[@haobo_zhang]

Definitely seems like they’re getting ready to release a new console

[@andrewpappas9311]

Definitely looking forward to the Patrick game, that one looks awesome. Also that Shrek level and furniture dating game shouldn’t have made me laugh as much as they did, but I guess always expect the unexpected with these Directs…

[@juliamsmayo6755]

30:15 ...Kiryu?...huh....and DIO?!?! 40:43 Kiryu-chan ~~ 👹👹👹

The SvC 3 dream is real!

[@Jygerthe2nd]

*hears True Love We're Makin'* ...I miss Friday Night Fisticuffs.

[@Dracobyte]

With Woolie, Mat, Liam and Pat!

[@Some__Guy]

Don't forget Saturday Morning Scrublords. The Groose theme and "YOU FORGOT THE COOKIES?" were always a sign I was gonna enjoy the video.

[@Jygerthe2nd]

@@Some__Guy I miss them so much. I know they're still around, but it's just not the same. Still, I hope someday, if not reuniting for their channel, they manage to become friends again.

[@Sybato]

MySims is considered sholveware? Then call me Shovel Boy.

[@justice5752]

Say what you want tom, but I've heard alot of want from people who liked Mysims

[@Draynor]

PLASMA SWORD, LETS GO!

[@RachelXKnight666]

31:29 lmao you and rogersbase have the same birthday

[@Sybato]

Is Star Overdrive by the team that did Sunset Overdrive or am I just seeing a similarity with the game's title?

[@ruick78]

Im not sure what i was expecting but this very okay direct nothing aside a remake that was out of left feild

[@volarmis]

Porting arguably the best version of Worms over to Switch is an interesting move on their part. I do wonder how many people will prefer that over the PC version though.

[@CharlotteML1]

I'm a little embarrassed to admit I'd already seen the Date Everything game because KZbin recommended the PC announcement trailer te me 😅. Plus, I wish I had more time for all these JRPG remakes coming out.

[@floppiethethirth]

I'm most exited for castlevania.

[@TeruteruBozusama]

Pico Park 2 could maybe be fun for a TCC, just saying 🤫

[@jeremywhitehead1633]

SpongeBob! Patrick!

[@darkdemonwerewolf]

Won't lie, didn't see a single thing here that I either, didn't own already, didn't have the original copy of, didn't see in the last direct, or just out right didn't want like one of the fifty farming or sims games. Still I did wanna see someone else maybe get hyped for something they saw in this so I could better enjoy the direct so thanks for that Tom XD

[@peachymiku6432]

Hehe, I love seeing games I don't care about. Because I know someone out there will love them!

[@Some__Guy]

I give this anime farming sim a pass because Rune Factory has been around since the DS, so it was like the originator of the genre. And it already started as a Harvest Moon spin-off, so it's even more of the originator compared to the million farming sim IPs coming out recently.

[@darkdemonwerewolf]

@@peachymiku6432 That's just what I was hopeful for. Basically, if I can't be happy... then let's see others be happy because more games of good quality isn't a bad thing.

[@peachymiku6432]
