Re: Pokémon FireRed And LeafGreen Officially Revealed For Switch

@wizzgamer where have they already said these won't have interconnectivity? Colosseum isn't out yet on GCN NSO, so if they were, they probs wouldn't announce it till then anyway. We can be hopeful. Especially since they're managing to attach Pokemon Home connectivity to these 22-year-old games

It does (probably wrongly) make me think and hope they must have a LOT of stuff for the Pokémon Direct, if they didn't wait to announce this there. I also really hope these can interact with Pokémon Colosseum when it comes to NSO. Seems like a good way of Firered and Leafgreen being used to cross-promote the Switch 2 and NSO Expansion Pack.

Re: Castlevania: Belmont's Curse Unveiled For Switch, Launching In 2026

If you'd have said 3 years ago that Konami would enter my top 3 current game companies in 2026, I wouldn't have believed you. Was shaking with excitement at this announcement. The graphics and gameplay and setting all look incredible. Ann Belmont or whatever her name is looks super cool - glad to finally get a canon female Belmont as the protagonist. The announcement that this is just the first thing for the 40th is also incredibly cool. Hoping we get Nocturne season 3 or a new anime about Leon Belmont - and a 'Castlevania Dimensions Collection' (name comes from Reddit), focusing on the 3D titles such as, Castlevania 64, Legacy of Darkness, Lament of Innocence, Curse of Darkness and Judgement. I love you GOAT-nami let's gooooo.

Re: Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2 Announced For Switch 2 And Switch

AStupidID

Great news, but these two old games being a game key card sucks a little. Also wish they added Portable Ops and or the Acid games, as Vol 1 was technically 5 games - and this is only 3. Still - ports of these three games is a sick prospect, didn't expect to see Ghost Babel. Hope Vol 3 (or 4) does bring back POPS, Acid and MG4 touch for preservation and completeness sake.

Re: Talking Point: Does It Bother You That Big Games Companies Are Using GenAI?

AStupidID

Yes it bothers me, it's a disgrace. Artists already find it so hard to make a living, and now some big game companies want to cut them out even more. Then there is also the fact that nothing new will be created because genAI just rehashes things that have come before. It also STEALS art from artists to 'create' stuff, with no payment, citation or anything. It is awful for the environment, using so much energy and resources, and it is causing RAM prices to skyrocket, so consoles and PC parts are becoming more and more expensive. There is literally nothing good about genAI.

Re: Star Wars: Fate Of The Old Republic Announced, But Will It Skip Switch 2?

AStupidID

The Old Republic and High Republic are completely different. The High Replublic ends about 100 years before the events of Phantom Menace, the Old Republic ends a 1000 years or more before. The Old Republic as an era is also still canon, but we don't have any stories based in it's canon version yet. Revan is canon as a character as well, so a bunch of the stories (including KOTOR 1, 2 and TOR) could still be canon, it's just not been said yet.
