"It was difficult but I decided that I wanted a lot of money."

@Giancarlothomaz Not really sure tbh. That's the predominant sentiment in the comments.

In this comment section: California sucks.

@Ventilator If you read the comments you'd see you're not the first person to correct me on that.

@nowthisisepic I'm extremely angry right now. I don't think I'll sleep soundly for weeks. I think I should calm down and play some games from the best publisher out there, Microsoft.

@Kiz3000 @PtM Fine, Microsoft have been slapping their name on all the good games. Happy now?

So it tends to be more about quantity. Microsoft slap their name on everything nowadays so it's no surprise to see them up at the top.

It's not gonna be like Arceus at all guys. The games are coming out in the same year, they wouldn't have the time to take untested and unproven mechanics from a side game and implement them in the main entries. Traditional catching is gonna be the way this goes with battle transitions and all.

Cloud is DLC/10

Understandable. Game barely works on PS4 as it is.

You can tell when a platinum game is made with passion and when its made to collect a paycheck.

I've been through 2 sets of Joycons and the sides of the screen are scuffed up by the dock but other than that it still works.

Considering that this game is coming out this year, the mechanics were likely already set in stone before Arceus even released. It shouldn't be surprising that they didn't take from what was supposed to be a spin-off.

Once again the old farts at Nintendo think they can stop emulation from happening if they take down a few videos or bust a few rom distribution sites. More will always pop up to take their place. Especially when they encourage it by refusing to allow people to purchase their goods through legal means.

@eaglebob345 It already was a monopoly, Sony owns both Crunchyroll and Funimation. It was only a matter of time before they consolidated the services into one big package.

@Deadlyblack
He'll show up to your door personally with his trusty screwdriver.

Is this as widespread of an issue as it is with the switch? Naturally with every new launch we get these complications of the systems failing horribly which makes the issues seem more rampant than they actually are.

I don't think Fernando wants to be rescued.

I expect the next game to be a "Pokemon Ultimate" Where everyone is here. Mechanics refined to perfection. 1000 mons and then, wishful thinking, the series could take a break for a while.

@RubyCarbuncle well I didn't want to outright compare Pokemon fans to Call of Duty fans buuut....

So franchise fatigue doesn't exist for Pokemon fans huh?

Makes sense, mhm mhm are you listening papa Nintendo? I agree so can I have a free game or maybe some recognition at the very least?

N-no?...W-Well I'll keep backing your every decision in the hopes you someday change your mind! Please don't take my video games away!!

Runs emulators well and runs 3rd party games better than the switch? I'm sold.

They just don't stop playin with their Nintendos and cellular phones!!

I'd buy a Gex remaster. They weren't particularly great games but I remember them fondly.

"cloud versions" are going to keep happening when developers try to port their projects to outdated hardware. It was already on the way out when it released but Nintendo refusing to update their hardware is going to start hurting them the longer this goes on. Once again the steam deck is looking like the device to get for optimal 3rd party handheld gaming...

Big deal, Nintendo's house is even smaller. They needed this win.

Valve does what Nintenwont.

"It had to be done eventually".

Meanwhile I'm over here downloading PS1 games on the PS3. Sure the services probably do need to be shut down eventually but why so soon? Nintendo isn't some indie company struggling to stay afloat. Put some of that money you make selling us a sub par subscription (Nintendo Online) into keeping the stores up.

Steam Deck is looking like it's going to replace my portable handheld needs in the near future...you're not irreplaceable Nintendo...

@Maximumbeans It won't be different because people have already resigned themselves to Nintendo not listening. The thing with Nintendo fans is that they complain...but then they buy the thing. They complain...but then they forget a week later. This isn't exclusive to Nintendo fans since Madden/fifa fans are the same but it just sucks to see people roll over and just toss Nintendo more money. I hate that this Company makes great games, otherwise they'd be treated like EA/Activision...

@Maximumbeans The problem is I've never seen people stick to their guns concerning Nintendo. The fact that the mentality is "Nintendo decided, there's nothing we can do." Is the exact reason why Nintendo always gets a free pass on literally everything.

Best start buying the 3DS games you really want to play now because Nintendo is creating forced scarcity once more and I can see the games skyrocketing in price as a result.

Sony fans: Fight it and get the company to change their decision, keeping both the PS3 and Vita stores up, the Vita of particular note because it released around the same time as the 3DS and was infinitely less popular.

Nintendo fans: It was a good run I guess.

When I think of Focus Home I think of good B tier gaming experiences. Not quite AAA but not quite indie either.

These older games are showing that there's more to life than the annual big CoD installments out there. Love that they're all making a resurgence.

@Yorumi The problem isn't that the game is good/bad. It's that the developers cut corners because they knew they could get away with it. The fact that you're willing to excuse it for the sake of the gameplay proves my port. Of course it's good, these guys are talented...which is sad because it could have been even better.

If a developer doesn't have any respect in the product they put out, then I don't have any desire to play it. People only buy games based on brand, they don't look at reviews, they don't read opinions, they just see a big name on the box and buy it and will usually be happy with what they get.

This is why I will always support indies and wish nothing best for them. Game freak needs to start releasing a few flops.

Going to need to see a release date for BOTW2 already.

@somnambulance what, you don't like characters that have 2 paragraphs worth of effects on their weapons and skills? lol

I remember going back to three houses after playing FEH recently and sighing in relief when I see death blow is considered strong and not
"If unit is within 2 spaces of foe and unit has a bonus, gain atk/def +7 unless unit is within 3 spaces of foe but negate that if a ranged unit is in cardinal directions of unit in which case grant guaranteed follow up and negate counterattack unless unit has a penalty on which case negate penalty and grant bonus based on penalty amount."

The game actually started out pretty well. Sure it had the usual microtransaction garbage but it was kept to only being able to buy the premium currency. Now they sell packs with 5 star heroes, resource packs, holiday packs whenever those are around and of course the dreaded FEH pass. A $10 a month subscription service that locks quality of life improvements behind it, among accelerated resources gains so that you quickly surpass what F2P players are able to scrounge up. The microtransactions keep slowly getting more and more egregious and yet they get introduced at a snail's pace so that people get comfortable without realizing that they're paying more and more...$5 here...$10 there...and maybe even $40 because come ON it's a special event!

And from the looks of things...the strategy is working.

And now suddenly they'll have the Nintendo fanboys in their corner just like that. If Nintendo approves it, it will easily become accepted.

Naturally I'd want Xenoblade Chronicles 3 but after starting with two and then going back and playing 1, I'd really like them to release X on the switch too, never played that one.

Nintendo once again not allowing Nintendo fans to enjoy Nintendo.

We should cheer things that benefit the consumer, not hinder them. I don't understand the second hand endorphin rush that some people feel to see "Sony sold well this month" "Nintendo sold the most software" "Microsoft acquired something" or whatever. You're not getting the check in the mail, you're not getting any benefit from it and in some cases you as a consumer are being treated worse for it. It's nothing to cheer about.

So how do they want us to listen to this music anyways? Do they want us to buy Smash Ultimate and listen from there?

Old geezers than don't understand how the internet works...

Turns out when you scam your playerbase for years on end they eventually catch on to your latest attempts at a cash grab. Knowledge is a corporation's worst nightmare.

If you're a Nintendo fan you're used to bad graphics and bad performance. That's just how it is. You don't expect anything better so long as you're getting fun gameplay. I don't necessarily think this is an insult, mind you. It's just how it is. The only problem I really have is graphics so bad I can't make out what I'm meant to be looking at or sub 30 framerate...which a lot of switch games can't manage to hit consistently.

Since people won't stop buying this one Nintendo's update is going to switch the name to Mario Kart 9 and they'll sell even more copies of the same game.

Selling most of my GameCube collection because I was a poor kid back in the day. I used to buy rare and obscure games too, so now if I want to get them back I'm paying upwards of a $100 for each one.

Take the fan service out of the game and it really doesn't do anything special or unique with the genre. There are some games that can provide both a decent gaming experience and... titillation...but I'd say this one isn't it.
