@EVIL-C They did, but it was never localized outside of Japan.

@JohnnyMind Thanks, I got the coins from starting up the purchased game 👍

Can I still download the trial and earn 100 Platinum coins if I already purchased the game prior?

@neverbeentoiceland "A POKEMON in the style of ARCEUS. 4K, 60p, larger world, no pop ups, better story, maybe a little bit on the darker side"

You're living in a dream world!

@KalamStrifeVII 5 Months ago and I swear I get less connection errors in OG Splatoon than in Splatoon 3.

@Fake-news I'm one for not wanting past media being censored for being products of their time. I'd rather Nintendo follow Capcoms example of their recent-released Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection and add a disclaimer warning players about culturally insensitive content to appease the "modern sensibilities" of people who can't get over the fact that not everything is made to reflect their worldview-- instead of being disingenuous by changing original scripts of two decade old games and claiming they're simply returning classics in HD.

As far as I'm aware, this is only an English issue and the other languages seems intact. That's quite telling.

@mereel I haven't watched the DF video yet. Here's one of many examples of script change. A side by side comparison of a treasure description from original version to switch port. No context is needed once you read for yourself.

@steely_pete Surprised this isn't getting discussed more. Nintendo english localization team sanitized the dialogue and made the humor more 'cultural appropriate'. Has me worried for future remasters. Don't alter the script for sensitive snowflakes who represent a vocal minority and probably won't even buy the game anyway.

@Kiyata A normal port would be ideal. I don't trust Gamefreak or any indie studio that gets enlisted to remake them. It'll be emphasized on being a 'faithful' remake of the Gold/Silver versions to a fault. Therefore, no Crystal and Hgss additions, meaning no Suicune side plot, Pokéathlon, Safari Zone, Battle Tower equivalent, Gym Leader rebattles, most legendary encounters left out, and only first two generations of Pokemon available. Mark my words.

@Chibi_Manny Because Wiggler

@SwagaliciousJohnson Personally, I really do not want FE6 and FE7 to be in the same remake. A double remake would mean less resources for each game individually. Advanced Wars 1+2 Reboot Camp cut corners to include both games, one example is the partial voice acting; I feel like if it was a remake of the first game, they'd gone full voice acting. FE3 Mystery of the Emblem cut out characters and maps to include both Book 1 and 2. So that's why I fear of double pack theoretical releases, just because the stories intertwine doesn't mean they should be remade together regarding FE. One entry is a full fledged game on its own.

Another thing, I do not look forward to how they would explain all of the plotholes that FE7 created for the game that is the prequel to. Potential for FE7 pairings is also something that I really struggle to see working well in practice. I don't want FE6's characters and canon to be muddied up for vain fanservice.

@Axecon Yeah, I wouldn't count on an official translation release. This would had been Nintendo's opportunity to translate Binding Blade for NSO members, but they went NOPE here's your single FE game while we drop the Japan exclusive to our native audience.

Technically, Roy is in FE7 shown in the epilogue having a sprite and dialog. Same for Lilina, so he's not Japan-only as many people have overlooked.

@gazamataz We know that Reload will be stripped of content added in later iterations, one being already available on Switch

Regarding your translation point, doubtful. A lead of the localization came out on social media when the game was officially announced and revealed their involvement. This individual is a fan of butchering translations, to fit a political agenda. Defending people translating things completely incorrectly and changing intent behind the entire premise of manga authors works, just a bunch of bad decisions that were personally motivated instead of just doing their job. Big red flag.

Try as they might to entice, but no way am I signing up to their Capcom ID.

Biggest travesty by this game was Nintendo didn't update this game with Platinum connectivity for the west. Oh yes, they kept the update exclusive to Japan..

@TheBigBlue And Final Fantasy VII!

Apparently, Pokemon equipped with moves gained from previous generations through TMs, breeding, purification, and events, are lost when transferring to S/V and can't be relearned. Seems like a huge oversight.

I thought Nintendo blacklisted Kotaku; why are they still communicating?

@Joriss Not a fan, then don't replicate it. Let others enjoy the game as is. Needs no patch.

Why the worry of Nintendo patching duplication? I get for competitive multiplayer games like Pokemon, but this is a single player game with no interaction with others. Why would they patch something not harmful?

Skimming through the comment section of those who blatantly called fake and or wagered it so in that December leak article..

@Bobb, @Crockin, @UltimateOtaku91, @1UP_MARIO, @Dark-Luigi, @GrailUK, @Madao, @ComfyAko, @Edu23XWiiU, @BizzyB, @Giancarlothomaz, @gcunit, @The-Chosen-one and @dcon11

.. Pony up! You lost all your internet credits. The recipient of the jackpot goes to @RobotReptile who went in with 100% REAL, congrats!

We take cash, credit, and eshop cards..

(This is a joke)

@Joeynator3000 They had two years of delay on top to further polish and add to the game. All what's included in base game is all we're getting 'else it will look really scummy for them to hold back content to charge further that they well enough had time to implement.

@Wisps EXP Multipliers can be adjusted between 0 and 4, so at the very least can retain its original difficulty.

@RareFan Mario Kart Tour IS an official Mario Kart. It's in fact Mario Kart 9.

@SonOfDracula Notabley, Charles Martinet voices Homunculus in Shadows of Memories. I didn't know of this while hearing his voice in the game; it's as you say, he has incredible vocal range beyond Mario and others.

If Gen 1 and 2 come to Switch I hope it’s through purchase and not part of NSO. Otherwise, eventually all progress will one day disappear when Nintendo discontinues NSO.

@Waluigi451 Coliseum?

Edit: You edited it to Stadium some time later. That's what you meant, I see.

@Juanblue85 Pokemon Yellow robs you the tradition of choosing your starter albeit you can obtain all eventually by the time defeating the third gym, and some popular Pokemon are absent like Meowth, so Red or Blue has enough merits to owning IMO.

@Bucky That's roughly $300 smackaroons.

PSA: Play through Ace Attorney Dual Destinies and Spirit of Justice's episode 1 until you reach the checkpoint save, then the DLC option will be accessible in the main menu. Be sure to download the DLC including outfits and episodes before you're not able to anymore!

@Uncle_Franklin They are through a Spirit battle, and a very convincing full-on mii costume.

I don't need to read the comments to know that Poke defenders will blame those who encountered the bug rather than admitting it was Gamefreak's mess up.

@Dom_31 I mean, Chrono Cross did last week. But hey, Pokemon gets a pass!

So Revelation and the smaller DLCs is available for a month longer?

Waiting on the inevitable physical release for Switch.

This special is more similar to the Suction Bomb Rush than anything else.

More financial backing is good for Nintendo, so this is a win.

Will they not release a Pokemon game every year?

@KingdomTears @mariomaster96 My apologies. I skipped ahead after the first paragraph immediately to the list. NintendoLife back at it in regurgitating articles and this time no bolded 'update', yet was listed as if it was a recently made article an half hour ago.

@Marioman2022 @mariomaster96 It's not mentioned because it's already on NSO.

@Hero-of-WiiU The playerbase of the game is just so big that personal experience wont always reflect the results.

@fishbujin No one's forgotten. The MK Arcade games are sub series, their characters are not eligible. Nintendo doesn't count them as mainline or else Mario Kart 3DS would had been MK8 and MKWiiU/Switch would be MK9.

Diddy and Dixie Kong.

Funky Kong is such a meme. Heighten because he was objectively the best character paired with the flame runner in the wii game.

Maybe in the next entry MK10 it'll have constant flow of course, character, costume additions, and updates. One can dream.

It was stated on Nintendo's website that the jacket will be available through the Nintendo store alternatively, so win or lose, I'm getting it no matter what.

@DaniPooo Their own info graphic featuring the numbered entries was proof that Mario Kart Tour is MK9, that's one factor in why I'm certain.

To strengthen my case for the Arcade games being a sub-series, the first one was made long before Mario Kart 7 on 3DS; if Nintendo counted that, then the 3DS entry would of been MK8 and following titles would be bumped up by one.

This isn't even the first time that Nintendo have publicly signified that Tour is a mainline game. They included it in the Mario Kart Timeline a couple of years ago when they had Mario 35th Anniversary website and wallpaper as a reward on their site.

https://my.nintendo.com/rewards/cb4f769f4f59b45c

You completey lost me at your Yoshi Island course example.. 😵‍💫 F-Zero, Splatoon, Animal Crossing, and Zelda are courses in MK8, and yet I'm no way in advocating those series are mainline Mario Kart games lol. Don't spring your twisted logic onto me and call it mine.

Like it or loathe it. Mario Kart Tour is Mario Kart 9. The next game will be Mario Kart 10.

Oh, and while we're at it. Super Mario Run is still the latest mainline 2D Mario game.

@rjejr Fire Emblem Fates you can battle players across the world on pre-selected maps with a team of 5 units.

@DaniPooo "How does this prove anything?"

The info graphic of past main Mario Karts they showed off in the reveal trailer for the Booster Course Pass I highlighted before

"I mean they do not seem to count their Mario Kart arcade games as mainline"

The Arcade games were made by Namco. Tour being 9 makes sense considering that, unlike Live: Home Circuit or the Arcade games, Tour was actually made in-house at EPD 9, who developed Mario Kart 8

"Who knows if they count a mobile title as mainline?"

Nintendo theirselves has proved through their actions, with their info graphic including MKT, their in-house development team behind the development of both games, and the solidifying fact that Tour stages are in MK8 Deluxe. You sound like those over a decade ago who claimed the portable Mario Karts didn't count as mainline before Mario Kart 3DS featured a number in its title. Not sure why you taken issue of Tour being MK9, maybe because it's not featured on their own hardware or it's simply a mobile title?

Y'all overlooking the "returning characters from the Mario Kart series will be added in future waves", not characters that would be newly debuted like Boshi and crossover characters ie Captain Falcon, Kirby, Pyra(??). They're not eligible.

If MK8 Deluxe gets Dixie Kong or characters that debuted in Mario Kart Tour, this would reinforce the fact that MKT is Mario Kart 9 (as if the Booster Course Pass itself didn't already). The next Mario Kart entry will be the 10th of the series.

@rjejr Same case with Fire Emblem Engage's DLC. Purchasing it's DLC rewards you with "pay to win" resources like stat boosters, weapons, and hefty amount of gold. No option to reject it or to claim later; the game just hurls it onto you. At least in Fire Emblem Fates, you could manually claim the DLC taint rewards. Here, it's automatically sent to your convoy.

@Anti-Matter And yet you still bought it. You knew what you were getting into.
