@Krisi In turn, other Pokemon will get the spotlight. For PS2, Volturb has among the best moveset and stat spread. Thunder, Rain Dance, Mirror Coat, Explosion. Fearow pretty decent, Kadabra etc. Some of the pre-evolved Pokes are exceptional enough.
@Kirgo People seem reluctant to share theirs for some oddball reason, but I have vacant slots in my family plan for standard NSO if you're interested in having online availability at no cost. You seem really passionate about it so I offer to you. Let me know.
@Gamergirl94 @NintendoKnight Mario Kart Tour being a mainline number entry as MK9 has been established since the reveal of the MK8 Booster Course Pass. If you pass Tour as a spinoff against Nintendo's judgement then you're willingly wrong.
@Dang69 Why can't NintendoAttackers like you set your aim on series in need of it like Pokemon. People are far more forgiving on that than Splatoon should be.
Sega has plans for DLC before game released, but when Nintendo has the same intentions with their titles such as Xenoblade Chronicles 3 and Splatoon 3, paid DLC at that, they get a pass. I expected nothing less.
I loathe that preset gear sets are continued to be locked behind amiibo. They're not quicker to find the right amiibo and scan than it is to access through a list in-game.
@Member_the_game You're emphazing Mario Kart of all? There's dozens upon dozens of possible track candidates and expanded with the possibility of new courses. . There's some courses I desire, some I care not for. Honestly, would had preferred DLC packs of courses like the WiiU version did so we have the cheaper option to pay for a serving of tracks instead as a whole and stuck with unfavorable ones. But like I said, hot take! Regarding your joke comment, I'm old fashioned, I never thought to look up online menus of restaurants being that I lived in an era without the internet for so long, ha.
@Member_the_game Hot take, but I for one don't care for the surprise element for something that is offered up for sale. I would like to know all additional DLC before I buy over buying into a mystery box of content.
@LacesOfClouds8 I just have to point out how contradictory your post is.. You're asking why the game can't come out sooner, but at the same time you want game development to be smooth paced; not wanting the developers rushed. Huh?
@Axecon HGSS demake? Nah, it'll be a faithful remake to the Gold and Silver games, the BDSP treatment. Gutted Viridian Forest, no Safari Zone, Crystal improvements/features ignored such as Battle Tower.
"Monolith Soft was particularly worried about how Shulk would be viewed, given that vocal protagonists tend to be disliked by RPG fans who would rather prefer a silent avatar"
What! I've tired of silent protagonists. They would be cooler if they weren't walking husks and had their own character and personality shown with their take on the games current events! Am I really in the minority on this?
I've said this before, but I wish they withheld the Tour tracks for the next installment Mario Kart 10 (yes, Mario Kart Tour is 9, like it or not) so that more of the courses prior to MK8 could be better focused on being remade.. Tour tracks are still being developed for that entry so instead of a handful or two making it into MK8, it would have been so much better if they had released all Tour tracks into MK10, IMHO.
Personally, I don't care at all for the Tour tracks because they're for the most part based on real world locations and it breaks the immersion in the Mario universe. They could had saved them all for the next Mario Kart 10 installment instead of a few making it in through DLC and giving less focus on retro courses outside of Tour.
Sorry for my ignorance, but how come Kirby can barely suck up these everyday objects, yet he has been capable of swallowing stuff whole before? Is his sucking capabilities diminishing?
I'm on the side of if it's finished, just make it available there and then; not wait for an arbitrary date while they sit in the back room for a month.
I'm not buying a FE game until Advance Wars reboot is available. That fantasy medieval war game gets a pass but not one with guns and tanks. Double standards.
@LordPieFace I sure hope Wayfowards development team has been compensated for a full works pay and not hinging on the fact that it'll sell good, in a year or more time 'else this will put a strain on Nintendo and Wayfoward's relationship and future partnership.
Closely related, but why has Nintendo been publishing Square Enix games outside of Japan and not, well, Square Enix themselves? It's not like they're some small indie company that needs their financial support and Nintendo has to be getting a huge cut; they can't be doing it out of the kindness of their hearts. I feel like there's another reason besides those.
@link3710 That's even worse. Game has been in the development oven for about 5 years and you're suggesting they'd pull an Xenoblade Chronicles and sell further story elements separately. I would hope that all that time they spent would be to sell a complete package no strings attached.
I remember how the Nintendo content/costumes were entirely free for Bayo 1 & 2, but now they're going to offer whatever via paid DLC. People reiterating how it'd be harmless optional DLC, but so was the costumes in previous entries. They didn't have to include them free of charge, but they did.
@Arawn93 People have expressed why in the comments, assuming you read them fully. We're not so much 'mad' but more so unfulfilled, at the idea of cosmetic day 1 paid DLC for a remaster, but not so much that we can't shrug it off if we're not willing to pay for it. This kind of content would be included as extras for free if we lived a decade ago IMO. Like, can you imagine if out of the top of my head, the Nintendo themed skins in Tekken Tag Tournament 2 Wii U were day 1 paid DLC? They probably would be if released today.
