I knew HoloLens would be brought up, because it's 8-4 Play and they obsess about new hardware minutiae, like the circle pad pro 'Frankenstick', lol.

Haha, man, that ending theme song. I assume it's from Fossil Fighters? I can't seem to find it on Youtube.

I always wonder who the musicians are that work on that kind of super earnest kid's cartoon theme song. Like, what was the career path of the vocalist who sang that song? And what other really ridiculous lyrics has he had to belt out to energize young kids?

@bisonhero: I had a really tough time finding the song, even though it seemed extremely familiar. Even though I've never actually seen this trailer, so that seems impossible. I guess it's just a catchy tune.

Edit: Also, could this be hinting at their mysterious project S?

@dr_mantas: Haha, thanks for that. I think it sounds familiar because it sounds like every 80s and early 90s Saturday morning cartoon intro.

There really should be a Perfect Strangers game where the goal of each level is to kill Balki before he causes whatever havoc he was set to cause on said episode.

As a Tales superfan who has imported basically every game including the spin-offs over the years...

Zestiria fucking sucks. They absolutely dropped the ball on this one - it's mediocre in every way. I'm still enjoying it and will beat it, but I expect so much better from the series.
