Honestly I think this might be one of (if not) the worst Mario Kart. It’s still fun but the music is remixed Mario instead of track specific and unique, the way you unlock drivers and costumes is the most absurd way to unlock characters in a video game ever, too many straight roads, racing to the next course sounds cool but this leads to the actual track feeling short and forgettable, the list goes on. I’m hopeful this will receive DLC that makes it a complete Mario Kart experience but until then this is a half assed mess.

It’s been fine and there is more stock coming to all/more retailers at launch. If you really want one you’ll get it.

I would be interested to hear initial thoughts on mouse mode from someone who actually enjoys a mouse.

lol FromSoftware had to knockoff their own game because Sony doesn’t care about it…

“In the end it still looks like a Wii U game.” You mean to tell me a game running on a console barely more powerful than the Wii U looks like a Wii U game?? Surprise! People expect miracles.

@-wc- This does not need clarification. Of course GameStop employees would be the ones hit by layoffs. Layoffs ONLY affect employees.

@Lizuka Always keep your Pokémon Day stream expectations low. They happen every year whether they have big news to share or not.

@Korgon It’s upsetting that you consistently can’t read or understand anything at all. I already state the gameplay isn’t the issue. The issue is a few of the designs are clearly rip offs. How can you not see that? And a dog is a dog?? All dog Pokemon look distinctly unique yet somehow palworld has two dog Pokemon that are carbon copies of Pokemon that have existed for literally over a decade. Baldur’s Gate is a horrible example because it’s based in D&D/fantasy. Of course elves look similar to elves from every other fantasy game. You have consistently displayed an inability to comprehend what I’m saying and give examples of things that make no sense at all and do not apply in this situation. It’s truly pathetic how you can defend blatant rip offs and defend it with “well every possible design is already taken”. You have no imagination and no brain cells.

@Korgon Yeah and if you could actually read you would know I was criticizing your creatively bankrupt excuse of “there are only so many ways to make a dog monster design” when Pokémon literally just did it again with Dachsbunn. Stop making half baked excuses for blatant ripoffs and go back to school to work on your reading comprehension.

@Korgon If you can’t see that a few of (not many but A FEW) of these designs are straight up stolen you need to see an eye doctor. There are still plenty of ways to make unique creatures. That is the most creatively bankrupt excuse I’ve ever heard.

@KayFiOS Pokémon is allowed to riff on their own designs. That’s a horrible, ignorant argument. I can’t believe I have to explain that there are all different kinds of real life animals that look similar but are slightly different depending on the region they live in. The problem is palworld copying designs that aren’t theirs. The gameplay is different enough it doesn’t deserve too much criticism but no amount of “bUt PoKeMoN sTagNanT” justifies blatantly stolen designs.

@B_Lindz You don’t have to play the game to see some of the creature design rip offs. That’s all it’s about. There isn’t much criticism coming in the form of its gameplay. Pokemon clearly needs competition in the “monster taming” genre so they start making games than run higher than 15 FPS but there is ZERO excuse for a few of these blatantly copied designs. Please learn to read and focus on what is actually being justifiably criticized.

@-wc- Wow, you STILL somehow don’t get it. You’re as smart as the character in your profile pic.

@-wc- Your comment just pointed out prices of previously released consoles. I said the past is irrelevant to today’s inflation. I don’t think, I KNOW you lost track of what we’re actually talking about.

@-wc- It’s called inflation. What happened in the past is irrelevant. The PS5 digital has already gone up in price. There’s a reason the Switch never had a price drop. It’s ok to be wrong, you’ll find out when it launches then you can remember why I was sarcastic towards your ignorant, uneducated self

@fbnaulin They mean “I’m a console war clown who doesn’t actually know anything about video games.”

@-wc- Ever heard of inflation?? Why would a new console cost the same as or less than the current console?

MARIOOOOOOOOO

@Rika_Yoshitake LOL nobody else can ever use an OLED screen in their device because Switch did it first?? A they didn’t even do it first because PS Vita did. Why is Nintendo copying Sony??? 🥴

Is the only buff really an occasional attack boost?? It better be significant because that’s disappointing.

COD 2024 on Switch 2 confirmed.

@Ulysses @UltimateOtaku91 Unfortunately more power won’t suddenly make GameFreak competent or give them more development time. BOTW, TOTK, XB3 and more look infinitely better than Pokémon SV.

Concept art that looks better than the complete game? Someone should tell GameFreak it’s supposed to be the other way around.

I wouldn’t know, they still haven’t shipped my copy of the soundtrack that was supposed to be released weeks ago…

@ATHFjman18 This isn’t a sympathy piece and you think this 19 year old is rich after one season of a yet to be released Netflix show??? LMFAO

Imagine spending all that time and money going to regionals to qualify for Worlds then flying to Japan just to be too lazy to actually make your own team. I’ve always hated hacked Pokémon and immediately release any that are surprise traded to me. I will never understand why anyone cheats at any game. It’s really quite pathetic.

@michellelynn0976 lol they’re already way behind schedule with Pokémon Home integration and you’re waiting for the DLC?? Good luck, that is going to run worse than the base game… if it even releases on time.

@OorWullie Good luck getting people to drop $300+ without warning. Would be very exciting though!

For some reason this article doesn’t mention when the Switch was announced compared to when it was released so here it is:

Nintendo announced new hardware with the codename NX on March 17, 2015. It was hardly mentioned again until April 2016 during an investors meeting. During that meeting they also announced NX would be released in March 2017. NX was not known as the Switch until October 20, 2016 when it was officially unveiled. Switch was finally released on March 3, 2017.

So I’m certainly no industry expert but I think this means the Switch’s successor is a hell of a lot closer than most people would believe. They won’t be talking about it for a whole two years prior to release this time since the Switch is so successful. I think it’s safe to assume they’ll release the Switch successor within six months of its announcement and it is probably coming next year. Here’s to hoping!

@RainbowStarFlower Activision is way overvalued. In the past three years they’ve only released COD games, one Tony Hawk and 2 Crash games. We wouldn’t even be having this conversation if it wasn’t for COD. Blizzard is a husk of what it once was too. This won’t hurt Sony. There aren’t many people who would switch their whole gaming ecosystem from PS to Xbox over some dumb Activision games. PS still has all the good AAA exclusives. I can understand why people think this would make MS a monopoly but it’s going to take a lot more than COD to stop Sony’s dominance.

@RainbowStarFlower What has Activision done “for the players”? Or even for their employees? MS hasn’t handled Xbox too well but it certainly can’t get any worse than the way Activision currently operates.

Sony needs to take the 10 year COD deal and move on. If Sony gets the deal blocked Activision won’t want to play nice with them anymore anyway. What’s the point?

Ok guess I’ll be able to play again by the end of April? Not risking losing 300 hours.

@Bolt_Strike You had to pay for them on VC. TPC would get WAY more money reselling them than slapping them on a subscription service. There is a reason “free” is in quotes. I understand how subscriptions work.

@Williamfuchs420 We will NEVER get mainline Pokémon games for “free” with Switch Online. Never ever.

@Dragonite89 You can dream but you’ll be disappointed.

@broskiplays lol plenty of games that look even better than Pokémon run at 30 FPS. This is 100% on the developers and the pace in which TPC cranks out new games.

Literally can’t do anything right

@Friendly It certainly does. And if I ever see an ad in Overwatch I’ll be VERY upset, you’re right on that!

@Friendly No, this skin existed in the original Overwatch. I already have it unlocked. It’s just now being given away for free since it kind of already looks like a hideous McDonald’s skin.

@Friendly Good thing there aren’t any ads in Overwatch 2.

Maybe it’s time to make a harder difficulty option for Pokémon games. It’s not like the community has been asking for it for well over a decade….

$6 billion made in 6 years and about $6000 invested back into this game in 6 years. Maybe one day they’ll get GBL to work.

@Ogbert Again, NFTs does not equal blockchain. They are two different things. NFTs bad, blockchain good (when not used in conjunction with NFTs)

@Pupuplatter And you could sell the DLC you own too with the help of blockchain! Blockchain has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with the value of your physical game.

It’s really quite disturbing how 99% of the people commenting are so vehemently opposed to something they clearly know nothing about and assuming this is the same thing as useless NFT pictures of monkeys. There are so many potentially good uses for blockchain technology in gaming compared to NFTs as we currently know them which are almost always a scam. Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to resell your DLC when you’re done with it just like your game cartridge? What if I wanted to quit Pokemon Go tomorrow but I still have raid passes I paid for on my account that will just go to waste in the current system? This has the potential to give a little bit of real value to microtransactions instead of it being an immediate and permanent digital loss. Of course some companies will use blockchain in nefarious ways but that doesn’t mean it’s all bad. Just like microtransactions, some can be fair and some are a scam. It’s the same thing with any physical good except where there are ways to return, resell, reuse and/or recycle those goods. Buyer beware.

Would be nice if Niantic got Pokémon Go to function consistently and properly before they made another game considering the absurd amount of profit it has brought them.

@VoidofLight Exactly like subspace emissary.
