If not considering COViD then of course E3 was underwhelming but I think Microsoft and Nintendo's stuff was decent although not much of it appeals to me personally.
It is a joke that the console did not have a wired lan port from day one but I guess they got good money from people like myself buying a lan adapter asap.
I only play my Switch for exclusives currently because I have enough time for PC or PS4 for multiplatform games but if things change, and hopefully batterylife of portable consoles improve I could easily see myself in a position to play everything on a machine like the Switch.
I really don't understand how these are so popular, I know personal taste is subjective but honestly blown away by how popular Funk Pops have been and still are.
That is what disappoints me as a long time fan of the series, the game is still worth a purchase and playthrough but you can see the lack of effort put into the game and that they are just piggybacking off the Pokemon brand.
First just want to say that review bombing is idiot and stupid.
I just feel like they couldn't have picked a worse time than the first mainline console Pokemon to cut features (I don't care about them to the degree of the online brigade) and to cut so many at once.
Don't understand why the game had to be real time battles when the core concept of Pokemon has always been turn-based and there are many successful gacha rpg games that are turned-based.

Re: Sword And Shield Leakers Required To Pay The Pokémon Company $150K Each
Nintendo is a fantastic company if you have a financial stake in it, otherwise it is just pain majority of the time.
Re: Pokémon GO Is Getting Some Of Its Pre-COVID Features Back
So in other words they are making it worse again... All those features were only positive.
Re: Yes, Cruis'n Blast Is Getting A Physical Release On Switch
I remember owning USA and World as a kid and have fond memories.
Seems like a game that will be in the bargain bin and I'll definitely pick it up when that happens.
Re: The E3 2021 Awards Winners Are In, But Nintendo Lost Out
If not considering COViD then of course E3 was underwhelming but I think Microsoft and Nintendo's stuff was decent although not much of it appeals to me personally.
Re: Two Point Campus Appears On Microsoft Store, And It Looks Rather Bonkers
@Clyde_Radcliffe
Probably on purpose at this point, solid marketing hype for "leaks".
Re: Crash Bandicoot 4 Voice Actors Tease "Fun New Project"
Doubt it is a new crash game given the recent one didn't do well (I think is a solid game tbh even though I'm not a big fan of platformers).
Re: Talking Point: Here's Why You Shouldn't Be Worried About The Rumoured Switch Pro's 720p Screen
720p is fine, just make sure it able to hold a stable framerate of 30 at least.
Re: Nintendo Hacker Who Stole "Confidential Information" Sentenced To Three Years In Prison
How much of that sentence is for what he did to Nintendo though? I would assume most if not all is for the child stuff.
Bit misleading.
Re: The F-Zero Series Is Now 30 Years Old
I'd even take a re-release of GX on Switch at this point...
Re: Gallery: Game Freak Has Moved In With Nintendo, And The New Offices Look Sublime
If only they cared about the Pokemon Franchise half as much as these offices.
Re: Five Dates Has You Playing As A Millenial Trying To Find Love In Lockdown
No thanks, if I wanted to virtual woohoo with girls I'd just hop on Sims 4 again...
Re: Random: It Turns Out Some Cats Love Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit
@ToadBrigade What about hairless cats? They aren't for everyone though.
Re: Poll: One Year Later, How Are You Getting On With Ring Fit Adventure?
Where is the option for bought it but haven't opened/played it yet, lockdown got me being lazy tbh.
Re: Video: The Best Nintendo Switch Games You've Probably Never Heard Of (Part 2)
I remember buying Fast-RMX on Switch at launch, would recommend if you want some some F-Zero nostalgia for a reasonable price.
Re: Amazon Prime Day 2020 - Best Deals On Nintendo Switch Games, Consoles, Micro SD Cards And More
People hating on the deals but here in Australia Animal Crossing went to $49AUD on a flash sale, same with Super Smash Bros.
Definitely not just dead games, at least over here.
Re: This 'Little Wireless Controller' For Switch Boasts A 40-Hour Battery And Fits In Your Pocket
Don't think the joysticks are going to enjoy being in a pocket.
Re: PSA: Use A Wired Connection When Playing Smash Bros. Ultimate Online
It is a joke that the console did not have a wired lan port from day one but I guess they got good money from people like myself buying a lan adapter asap.
Re: Nintendo Reportedly Arguing Switch Joy-Con Drift "Isn't A Real Problem"
What a joke.
Even if it only impact a small amount of user it is certainly a real problem for them.
Re: A New Nintendo Switch Steering Wheel Hits The Market Next Month For Just $15
@GilbertXI The Hori wheel would be better if he is really into racing games but it costs a lot more.
Re: Random: Amazon's Luna Controller Sure Does Look Familiar
At least they picked the best controller to copy.
Re: EA Wants To Bring More Games To More Platforms - Including Nintendo Switch
@Y2JayRome
Even PC is getting shafted for Fifa 21 so wouldn't hold hopes out for that.
Re: Pokémon-Like Nexomon: Extinction Reveals All Nine Starter Monsters
Don't like how the closest monster is facing towards the camera, just seems really strange decision to me.
Re: Star Wars Skins And Lightsabers Return To Fortnite For A Limited Time
Surely they could have had a yellow saber as one of them given the recent movie.
Re: Star Wars Episode I: Racer Is Aspyr's Next Nintendo Switch Release
@thesilverbrick Wouldn't get your hopes up as it looks exactly like the PC version which was just an N64 port with better audio.
Re: UK Charts: Mario Kart And Luigi Remain In Top Ten But Can't Compete With PS4 Favourites
Ringfit Adventure would probably he higher if it wasn't sold out all the time.
Re: Frostbite Engine Support For Nintendo Switch Might Still Happen, According To New EA Job Listing
Well EA will surely be making a new engine for next-gen PS/Xbox, hopefully it can work for Switch also.
Re: The Switch Has Overtaken The SNES In Lifetime Hardware Sales
Surely as a Hyrid console that list should include Nintendo Handhelds...
Re: Strike! Ten Pin Bowling Might Just Scratch That Wii Sports Itch On Switch
Switch Sports when? Basically free money for Nintendo if the motion controls are decent.
Re: Talking Point: How Often Do You Make The 'Switch Sacrifice'?
I only play my Switch for exclusives currently because I have enough time for PC or PS4 for multiplatform games but if things change, and hopefully batterylife of portable consoles improve I could easily see myself in a position to play everything on a machine like the Switch.
Re: Pokémon Sword And Shield Dethrones Diamond & Pearl In New Famitsu Sales Chart Record
Thought they were a bit underwhelming personally but happy for another exclusive title be doing well.
Re: Fortnite's Most Famous Streamer Ninja Gets His Own In-Game Skin
Surprised it took this long, would have made sense to cash in on it during his peak on Twitch.
Re: Alienware Reveals Switch-Like Device Capable Of Playing PC Games
@Friendly You could just run dolphin emulator and play Switch games on it.
Re: UK Charts: There's No Stopping Call Of Duty, But Mario And Luigi Both Make The Top Five
How the hell is WWE 2K20 in the top 10 despite having so many issues.
Re: Best Of 2019: 30 Weird And Wonderful Peripherals From Nintendo's History
Still use wavebird for Super Smash on Switch, love that thing.
Re: New Gen 4 Pokémon Leak Supposedly Shows Lots Of Scrapped Gender Differences
Omg that female Pikachu is so cute, would have loved it.
Re: Former Nintendo Of America President Reggie Says The Future Of Games Is In The Cloud
Due to physical contraints real-time online games will never work in the cloud.
Re: Random: Online Petition Asks Elon Musk To Put The Cybertruck In Rocket League
Seems like a no brainer for both sides.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (November 30th)
Probably some Jedi Fallen Order or Need for Speed: Heat.
Pokemon Sword was enjoyable enough but don't know if I want to bother with post game stuff currently.
Re: Random: Yep, Someone's Put Elon Musk And The Tesla Cybertruck Into GoldenEye 007
Hoenstly first thing I thought of when seeing the low poly truck was N64 games and what better than 007.
Re: Pokémon Sword Is The Most Popular Version In Japan
I prefer the look of the legendary which is why I bought Sword, happy with the choice.
Re: Pokémon Center London Will Return For The 2020 Pokémon World Championships
May be there is something I'm missing but why queue up for ages in a busy city centre when you could just order the stuff online?
Or if the stuff is only available in that shop why not just make bank and sell it online...
Nintendo love letting scalpers make a fortune.
Re: Eevee Is Your Next Pokémon Funko Pop
I really don't understand how these are so popular, I know personal taste is subjective but honestly blown away by how popular Funk Pops have been and still are.
Re: Pokémon Sword And Shield Is The Fastest-Selling Switch Game Yet
@Bondi_Surfer
That is what disappoints me as a long time fan of the series, the game is still worth a purchase and playthrough but you can see the lack of effort put into the game and that they are just piggybacking off the Pokemon brand.
Re: Reminder: Obtain A Special Gigantamax Meowth In Pokémon Sword And Shield Via Mystery Gift
Unfortunate that you have no influence on the nature (I know you can fix it later in the game with mints or something I believe) as I got a bad one.
Re: Of Course Pokémon Sword And Shield Is Getting Review-Bombed
First just want to say that review bombing is idiot and stupid.
I just feel like they couldn't have picked a worse time than the first mainline console Pokemon to cut features (I don't care about them to the degree of the online brigade) and to cut so many at once.
Re: Video: Here's What Happens When You Battle Giovanni In Pokémon GO
@chatsworth
He might be talking about the battle part of the game, I played at launch a small bit and only ever caught Pokemon and never saw battles myself.
Re: Pokémon Masters Dev Team Shares Its Update Plans For November And December
Don't understand why the game had to be real time battles when the core concept of Pokemon has always been turn-based and there are many successful gacha rpg games that are turned-based.
Re: Poll: Which Starter Pokémon Is The Best? Choose Your Favourite Water-Type Starter
Gen 1 always going to win but Totodile for me.
Re: Ninja Thinks Pro Players And Streamers Who Cheat Should Be Treated Differently
If anything it should be the opposite and they should be punished harder because it brings publicity to cheating.
If you are dumb enough to risk your livelihood and get caught then that is on you and you have to face the consequences.
Re: Poll: Which Starter Pokémon Is The Best? Choose Your Favourite Fire-Type Starter
2nd gen best gen so obviously Cyndaquil.
