Konami is just selling its IPs to absolutely everyone lately.
V Rising got Castlevania too, and Vampire Survivors got... Contra, because I don't know.

Je pense qu'on peut clore le dossier.
Only thing I gathered about Foamstars, around the time it appeared, is "yeah it sounds like Splatoon, but not really".
It's been so generally overlooked I don't even remember what was supposed to make it different. So yeah, that's a weak basis for any kind of interest.
You know, no better way to achieve growth than firing the team that brought you one of your best recent successes.
No, I mean, I am in Europe, I had Tonic Trouble Crunch Edition.
We do get Newman's sauce here, but I don't remember seeing the other products.
Uh. Didn't know they did that, I only knew the sauce.
It's also a very weird fit. So in NA, the hero goes to... a salad dressing vending machine? And just eats a full bottle of sauce?
Your comment on forced product placement reminded me of Tonic Trouble, the weird, mostly forgotten Rayman 2 sister-project in late 90s. It was basically Rayman 2 trying to be quirkier and mostly ending up in the "trying too hard" area.
Power-ups in the PC version came as N*stl* chocolate bars for no reason (except a big check I assume). Hard to ignore which bars exactly, because they came from big vending machines sporting a logo that's probably the most detailed texture of the game.
I don't know. Even if the outcome is just that the implant just stop working, with no other issue, it's looking pretty bad to me.
Since it required literal brain surgery just to be installed, which I assume is already a serious risk, it's not something you want to potentially be useless.
I don't see any discussion below my honest opinion.
I do see a downvote though, whoever disagreed with me apparently preferred that to discussion too.
The appeal is the form factor
Looks like a red playdate.
Difference is, playdate is a fun toy, and that looks completely useless.
They also make them for the new 8bitdo controllers (at least the SN/SF30 pro, those shaped like SNES controllers. One of my favourite controller designs ever).
Unfortunately it seems they don't sell those sticks as parts, only in new controllers.
My SN30 pro's left stick started to drift, and it means it's basically dead. I'm a bit pissed about that.
