For all you Twitch watchers, there is currently an event for Pragmata running until the 30th of April.
If you sub or gift a sub to anyone playing Pragmata you will receive the UOOHHHHHHHHHHH "Cryana" Twitch bagde. Very cute and funny! Did not know Capcom was so based.

Are you Testuya Takahashi's strongest soldier just like me? Don't know Japanese or have an ancient ass phone with software that was taken off marketplaces before some here were even born?

Well guess what!

After being genuinely lost media for almost 20 years until it was found just last year, Xenosaga: Pied Piper is being brought to Switch and Steam by G-MODE, a Japanese company that specializes in porting old mobile games to PC and more modern consoles for everyone to enjoy in the present day (present time!). Unfortunately, there's no indication that there will be an official English translation, however, thanks to being on Steam already extant translation efforts will likely now actually be easier to get out to English speaking fans since the translators won't have to worry about finding a way to get the original game running on modern PC hardware themselves and can just patch the Steam release!



Go wishlist to show Bandai Namco that there's still plenty of love for Xenosaga over here in the West and that mayhaps modern ports of the main trilogy wouldn't do so bad. Shit I wouldn't even mind remakes to iron out the legit edges those games have and if you add Xenoblade connections they WILL sell like hotcakes
