I don't think you should make this article. While it's nice that you're promoting the community, raising awareness of fan games will catch Nintendo's attention and will probably shut them down

Just read this please. It's important

When can we see this game come to the west? I want it!

I recommend that you read this game developer's take on this situation. It's important

Tel Aviv is a pretty weird choice. I would personally love to have a Nintendo store in Toronto

I already made this comment before on previous articles but I'll do it again anyways, here are a couple of posts by a game developer who explains the reasons Nintendo is against fan games in detail

If you guys want a good reason why Game Freak made this decision, then here's a post by game developer who has possible explanation why

Looks like artificial intelligence has even taken jobs of video game characters

Holy cow! Seeing that beautiful world and dynamax has definitely got me hyped for this game

That's good. The artists and animators don't have to suffer through crunch anymore... hopefully

Well at least we have the Nvidia Shield TV. That thing is a way better product

I'm kinda worried about the animators for the Sonic movie. Say what you want about how bad it is, but the truth is making any kind of animation requires a lot time and effort and the animators are doing the best they can with what they've got. But with the news of the redesign, I'm hoping the movie at least gets delayed a few more months because if not, then I'd imagine the animators would have to crunch and stay behind in bad conditions to do a lot more work within a short period of time

Crunch is big problem with the video game industry nowadays. It sucks to see these employees going through really tough times and taking an emotional toll on their brains. I hope things do change for the future

While I'm glad to hear that he's listening to the criticisms, I'm also somewhat skeptical. Whenever a trailer is shown with a bunch of clips, that's generally a sign that a large amount of work has already been done. Trying to redesign sonic while the movie is still being made means that the entire movie crew probably has to reshoot most of the scenes they already done. Although I'm not a movie creator so I could be wrong

Well this is definitely Uncanny Valley at its worst

It's honestly feels crazy that the 3ds was released back in 2011 and Nintendo managed to keep it strong for 8 years. Pretty much shows that Nintendo is the king when it comes to dedicated portable gaming

Honestly, this isn't surprising. E3 hasn't really been the place to do hardware reveals lately since the big 3 are preferring to do their own events

If you want to understand why game companies like Nintendo are against fan games, here are a couple of posts by a game developer who explains the reasons in detail

Goodbye Reggie. You are the best
cries

Well this is definitely nightmare fuel

Some arcade on rail shooters would be nice like House of the Dead, Time Crisis or even Link's Crossbow Training. I can also see Captain Toad getting Labo support as well since that game is pretty simple

Good to hear that development on MK11 on Switch is going well. I'm looking forward to see how the game looks. Netherealm has a good history of porting their games on mobile, so I think they can do the Switch port well

I personally prefer Nintendo to release the Switch mini in 2019 and have the Pro model to be released in 2020 but if they're going to release both in 2019, that's okay with me as long as Nintendo finds a way to make sure that the two models don't clash with each other

Looks interesting but I'll wait and see if it's actually worth it. I much prefer physical media and while I like cloud streaming, not everyone has a very fast internet connection

That's good to hear but I do hope the Switch version of the second game is good. I remember reading that the Wii U version was pretty bad

We definitely need on rails arcade shooters like House of the Dead on the Switch

I'm always amazed by people who are good at drawing realistic portraits with coloured pencils

Overall, I really enjoyed the reveal trailer and I am absolutely pumped for this game. The world, starters, and characters look amazing and I can't wait to get this game. With that said though, here are my two cents on the complaints I've read.
-"The game looks like an HD Sun and Moon": I agree that it's not the most impressive looking game out there but the visuals are WAY better than the 3DS. There's a lot vibrance and lush to the world and more detail thanks to the Switch's hardware compared to SM.
-"It's not open world"- While I think the old format can be tiring, it's important to realize that making a good open world game is very difficult especially if you're trying to be ambitious like BOTW. It would take a lot time, money, and resources to make a good open world and I don't think Game Freak has enough experience to do it yet. Also, there are a lot of design challenged that Game Freak would have to do to make an open world Pokemon game. The advantage of linearity is that it's simple to follow whereas open world is more complex, and since Pokemon is designed for children, an open world would be too overwhelming for them. I do think some open world ideas should be implemented like dynamic weather but I think the best approach for a more open Pokemon game would be like old 3d Zelda where the area is open but if you want to progress the story, get to certain areas, you need to take a certain path. But overall, I'm okay with the linearity and it's important to note that moving to open world won't work for everything

I'm gonna pick Scorbunny because when it evolves it becomes Big Chungus

@MimoDX2 Yeah I agree. I think are some big design challenges that the developers have to face when making a completely open world Pokemon game. But I do think they should add some free open world elements like being able to roam wherever you want or maybe choosing any order of gym leaders you want while having some linearity, like if you want to advance the story or gain access to certain areas, you are required to take a specific path or something

I'm hoping it will be more of an open world Pokemon game. The old format was great and it was nice seeing Sun and Moon changing things up a bit but Pokemon should get a massive change like Zelda especially on the Switch which is way more powerful than the 3DS. Nevertheless still hyped

It's really nice to see Sony and Microsoft bidding farewell to Reggie. I'm going to miss him a lot and hope that Reggie does well in his future. Reggie = Legend

NOOOO! Good bye Reggie, you will always be considered a legend among Nintendo fans

Video game cancellation is actually a lot more common than what most people think. The reason why you never hear about it is because they get canned before they get announced. Here's a game dev's explanation:
http://askagamedev.tumblr.com/post/155677254054/i-got-a-few-questions-about-the-scalebound

Oh boy here comes the dumpster fire in the comments section

I think this video by Extra Credits where they talk about game addiction(or game compulsion for a better term) is something that's worth looking into
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5RSngCFpsc

Makes sense. This is a great way for newcomers to get into the Switch with a lower budget. Plus, with Pokemon and Animal Crossing coming, a Switch mini would help increase hardware and software sale for Nintendo

I think it's important to realize that games that are in the middle of development tend to look pretty ugly. Things run at 5 frames per second, a lot of bugs, animations look wrong, etc. Given the fact Nintendo really focuses on quality control, I'm assuming something went wrong within development that made Prime 4 getting delayed

Seriously?! Can this guy just stop and just leave. He's gaining nothing from this and is only making more of a fool of himself

I'd honestly would rather have him get fired that for him to stay given the fact that his track record on business and relations with his employees are pretty poor. If he's staying, then I hope Nintendo of Europe will keep a close on him and make the reforms necessary to make Nintendo of Russia safe

I'm just going to leave this YouTube link here if you really want to know what Japan did in WW2
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=lnAC-Y9p_sY

Can this site seriously stop bringing up Michael Pachter? The guy has proven numerous times that he doesn't know anything and only makes stupid random predictions only to be false. Also the guy even disrespected Iwata which already shows that he doesn't understand gaming

Honestly, I'm glad something like this happened. AtGames have constantly made bad product after bad product without any improvements or even bother listening to the criticism. I hope they realize that what they did was a big mistake and try to improve or at least apologize to their consumers.

As someone who is a fan of rock and heavy metal music and also plays multiple instruments and draws, I'm really digging Rosalina's new design. She looks a lot more awesome and punk rock-ish. And the cross on her hair is a nice touch too

Sorry but I ain't buyin a game from a company that treated their employees badly. If Telltale wants my support on finishing the Walking Dead and other games, then they better rehire the 250 workers and give them severance

These controllers look great and are perfect for emulators! Hopefully I can get one

As someone who's learning music, this is definitely going to be an awesome app

I think it's defintitely possible. Injustice 2 and Mortal Kombat X both came to mobile devices and while the gameplay was completely different from that on the consoles, admittedly it's impressive how the developers manage to take the character models and environments and scaled them down to run on weak hardware. So overall, I think the Switch is capable of running Injustice

For the people who are trying to make the ''free advertisement'' argument, I think it's interesting if you first read this post from an actual game developer
http://askagamedev.tumblr.com/post/158154958373/youve-talked-about-lets-plays-before-but-one

I think it could happen. The first Evil Within game was on last gen and even on the older consoles the game actually still looks good
