There's no reason to port beg on Switch. If they want to release a successful product then they can start with the mainline persona games. If not, there's plenty of other games to play.
@RubyCarbuncle Can we really complain when most of the digimon on the box have never been featured as a partner digimon though? Those are some obscure digimon right there
First lesson learned being a nintendo only gamer: Don't assume that original handheld releases and smash representation is going to translate into you getting to play the new entry
@Arawn93 They're generous enough with gems for me, this has been amazing compared to Duel Links. The daily missions give up enough gems to make playing three or so games a day feel worth it, and they just gave us a ton of gems for the xyz event.
And I think the crafting system is more than fair. It would be so broken to be able to trade any random three same rarity cards for one of whatever you want in real life. 😂 Your mileage may vary, but I don't even feel like Konami's being stingy with the URs. I just opened a pack with three URs and one SR the other day.
Like sure, you have to put in some time and grind just like in any free to play game, but it's a much cheaper alternative to buying shiny cardboard.
@MostHandsieBoy It was definitely a lot to absorb when I got started. If I didn't have a friend in the game to turn to I'm sure I wouldn't have stuck with it.
You could always try Digimon if you want to play a better, simpler card game 🤔
@DukeDevlin I don't think it's pay to win at all, if anything it's weirdly generous for Konami.
If you'd like to get into the game you can always look up deck profiles online, and there are free simulators like yugioh omega to dip your toes in without paying a dime
One weird suggestion I have is to download the dkc trilogy. These are the only downloadable versions I've seen that don't stretch out or distort the image at all, so they look just like how I remember them on the SNES
I got the highest rank, but as there's no casual matchmaking I feel like I have to risk my rank if I just wanna play for fun. Kinda feel like if there's not going to be an unranked mode they should at least lock in your max rank 🙄
Anyways I'm totally smitten with Master Duel. I was pretty burned out on the game before but the format changes, fair free to play model, and quick matchmaking have me totally addicted. Ten dollars invested and my favorite deck is already at its most competitive.
I also love that Konami is taking steps to give Yugioh an identity outside of the anime. Anyone who was going to be drawn into the game from the anime is already here, I'm glad they're taking a new approach
Yugioh is an extremely complicated game. I came back to the game in 2018 and I still get confused about the under the hood stuff sometimes. Konami's even given up on including a rule book in structure decks it's so long. I feel like learning by having a friend teach you is nearly mandatory. I'm not surprised Konami's failing in their tutorial
I regret moving all of my downloaded games to the Wii U. The backwards compatibility is so clunky on Wii U, and now all my games are on a console I don't even like
@HeadPirate Ten years ago was a long time, but xyz summoning was already a thing. These days it's more like "I go first, attempt to search, answer/play through your hand trap, and create an infinite negate board"
I'd be more interested to know how the gems are earned than where they're spent, but I guess this does confirm that we're getting a duel links style monetization system. I feel like I've been reasonable successful in Duel Links spending very little money, so I'm cautiously optimistic.
Honestly looking at the whole batch without my glasses on, this looks like a really interesting, well rounded bunch of Fakemon. It would be interesting to see the bot design evolutions
It would be understandable if reducing the roster came with large scale gameplay shake ups, but otherwise I think porting Ultimate and adding more characters is the play.
I might be able to start the Pokémon Platinum I have coming in the mail. Figure if I'm feeling nostalgic for gen 4 I might as well go for the best Sinnoh game available.

I want the same. I'll never make the mistake of buying a new console just cause it's got Nintendo's brand slapped on it again

Is this the first go crossover for the tcg? Seems like they should have capitalized on this sooner
Re: Poll: Does Pokémon Scarlet And Violet Debunk A Fire Starter Fan Theory?
It's also a bit odd to think that they have this grand overarching design for fire starters, then throw a dart at the board for everything else
