Can't stand the remastered Link's Awakening art syle. The world doesn't look terrible but Link's expression is so lifeless. Like those horrible Funko Pop toys. The old Wind Waker/Phantom Hourglass style was way better.
I guess this article isn't about DokeV because it's coming to PC and looks too visually taxing for the Switch? Because that's the Monster Collecting MMO I'm keeping an eye on.
There are still 8, because tradition. Why did people think more was a bad thing? Kinda disappointed, thought it might mean we were getting a bigger game.
So they remade all the models from scratch but they still look the same as the old ones? ... The pokedex thing doesn't bother me too much though I understand why it does for others. What does bother me is how disappointing the game looks. Maybe we all just have too high expectations for a 2019 game from one of the most profitable and successful franchises ever. It's not like they can't afford to delay the game.
So not being a proper 3D game with a controllable camera is what makes Pokemon Pokemon? And not let's say... Oh I don't know... Being able to collect all the Pokemon?
Not concentrating on indies seems like the right move to me. I wouldn't say Nintendo is for a younger demographic though, the main reason Nintendo can't compete on the same stage is the hardware can't run 3rd party games anywhere near as well if at all, even COD gave up.
@Monzerol It's more that they said they were reducing the number of Pokemon to concentrate on quality, except the quality doesn't seem to be there so what gives? The other thing is most fans would be happy waiting for a better product, this franchise is so, so lucrative and yet they rush out their games. We look at games like Breath of the Wild and Mario Odyssey and want a similar feeling for the new Pokemon, this is the first proper home console Pokemon adventure that we've always been waiting for. Personally I can understand wanting to not include all the Pokemon in every game, the number will just keep on increasing after all, but the game's quality should look better than what it does. Considering it's a system-selling title from Nintendo, yet doesn't seem to be given the same care.
Um, what. I'm struggling to see the point of this. Looking at data from people using the hashtag BringBackNationalDex. So basically all these people disagree with GameFreak and want all Pokemon to be in Sword and Shield. This person just looked into how nicely worded the tweets etc were. Okay. Half the people are angry and the other half are more composed?
Wow, people can take away whatever they want from this somehow. They proved that every Pokemon (or it's evolved form) is someone's favourite. So removing Pokemon from the new games will suck for someone no matter which Pokes are removed.
I don't personally mind the restriction but can understand other's dismay. More concerning to me is how disappointing the visuals and animations seem to be, especially since they basically said the reduction in Pokemon was a reason for them to up the quality : /
Exactly how I felt watching the conferences. Crystal Dynamic's Avengers just looks wrong. It's also not as good looking as Spiderman. Then the Nintendo one came on and I was like ... This looks so much better xD
As people have said above, I wouldn't expect this to take 'several years', from what we saw I think it'll be using the same engine and many assets as BotW just telling a new story like Majora's Mask.
Normally I like Japanese covers more but I dunno, that doesn't really fit the game that well : / Does that even really look like Joanna on the front? The model used for the EU release obviously look better but the cover itself looks so messy with the logo covering her mouth and all that information everywhere, I actually prefer the US one I think.
@YozenFroghurt Yes and it sucked when Nintendo were censoring things, now it sucks that Sony is. Especially since currently Nintendo are fine with content that Sony is censoring. Just because it's happened in the past doesn't make the practice any less worth complaining about.
As I was watching the trailer I was thinking, well this is another game Sony will censor, assuming it's even going to be allowed to release on their console. I don't need Sony dictating what's okay for me to play. Stick an age rating on it and be done with it like everyone else. It's good for Nintendo though.
I would like a breakdown of why it costs so much to play online on PS4 and XB1 when the majority of games seem to be peer to peer. It's free on PC, used to be on Sony and Nintendo...
Oh cool, I missed this since I don't really want to play 3DS games anymore. I wasn't too fond of the Radiant Historia remaster changes having played the original and preferring the old art style however...
An awesome game... That I already own and not liking the graphics : / From the intro I was hoping they'd done something special like Ubisoft's 2D artistic visuals or even pixel art like Octopath Traveler...
Awesome, perfect advertising for DQXI coming out on the Switch too. Wonder if it'll be the DQIII hero and DXI hero as different skins, like the rumours suggested...
If there was a virtual console with snes games I'd have bought a bunch of games digitally. The Switch's storage isn't large enough to be buying new games digitally.
I don't want a subscription service to be the only option for playing retro games on my switch. And it should not be taking this long to put their back catalogue online...

Re: Nintendo Wants To Know Whether You Prefer 2D Or 3D Zelda Games
I like both but we're already getting a new 3D Zelda so I voted for 2D as I don't want them to disappear.
Re: Get Game Boy Classic Zelda: Link's Awakening DX For Less Than £3 With My Nintendo (Europe)
3DS? Stick it on the Switch already.
Re: Random: What If Zelda: Breath Of The Wild 2 Looked Like Link's Awakening On Switch?
Can't stand the remastered Link's Awakening art syle. The world doesn't look terrible but Link's expression is so lifeless. Like those horrible Funko Pop toys. The old Wind Waker/Phantom Hourglass style was way better.
Re: 23 Years On, And We Still Can't Believe This Classic SNES RPG Didn't Get A US Release
I wonder who even has the rights to this game anymore.
I would certainly buy something like the Secret of Mana collection for this.

Litten's final evolution was terrible so I just didn't evolve him lol.
Re: The Pokémon Company Issues A Statement About The Number Of Gyms In Sword And Shield

Kinda disappointed, thought it might mean we were getting a bigger game.
Re: Reminder: The Super Nintendo App Is Out Today On The Switch
Well, I'd re-buy a load of snes games for the Switch if they ever stop them being subscription-exclusive.
Re: Gallery: The Astral Chain Collector's Edition Is From Another Dimension
Looks nice but I figured I'd buy the standard edition and use the extra to buy the full soundtrack instead
Re: Pokémon Masters Has Already Secured Five Million Preregistrations
The hype is stronger for this than Sword/Shield
Re: Game Freak Trademark Hints At New Name For Switch RPG, Town
Town is a pretty boring name, it's good they changed- Oh. That's worse. Urgh.
Re: Feature: Super Nintendo Games We’d Like To See On Nintendo Switch Online
There are so many snes games I would re-buy if I could actually own them on Switch and not have to pay for a subscription.
Re: Astral Chain Lead Composer Shares Samples Of The Game's Electrifying Soundtrack
Very nice, looks like I'll probably be picking the soundtrack up.

Re: Nintendo Switch Lite Officially Revealed, Launches This September
Not keen on those colours : /
But it also doesn't have TV mode so not interested. Maybe the next Switch revision will.

Re: Nintendo Has No Plans To Censor Video Games Like Sony
Thank you. We really don't need Sony telling us what we're allowed. Games have an ages rating system for that.
Re: Sony Doesn't See Nintendo As A Major Rival, More Worried About Microsoft Next Generation

Re: Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 Gets A Cred Boost After Fans See Square's Effort
Exactly how I felt watching the conferences. Crystal Dynamic's Avengers just looks wrong. It's also not as good looking as Spiderman.
Then the Nintendo one came on and I was like ... This looks so much better xD
Re: The Legend Of Zelda: Link's Awakening Is Getting An Adorable amiibo
Man, I love Zelda games and Link's Awakening but cannot stand the design of Link in this. Horrible face.
Re: Nintendo Details Several Future Smash Bros. amiibo Releases
Hope they do Amiibo for all the Dragon Quest skins.
Re: A Full Sequel To The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Is Now In Development

Oh awesome, that trailer shows there's a physical edition. Not on the Square-Enix store just yet though...
Re: Dragon Quest's 'The Hero' Revealed As The Next Smash Bros. Ultimate DLC Character
Looks amazing, I expected the heroes from 3 and 11 but not 8 and 4 as well. And it looks like they have loads of magic spells
Re: This Fall, The Luminary Rides Again In Dragon Quest XI S: Definitive Edition

Re: The Nintendo Direct Presentation For E3 2019 Will Be About 40 Minutes
All the Dragon Quest please.

Lol. I wanted to play Let's Go on my TV but the pro controller doesn't work with it. Hopefully it will this time...

Re: Dragon Quest XI S Will Include Scenarios Not Present In PS4 And PC Versions, New Footage Shared
Well if they release this in the West with Japanese voicing I'll double-dip.
Re: Level-5 Shares New Yo-Kai Watch 4 Trailer
Oh dayum, a game to look forward to on the Switch that isn't made by Nintendo! Assuming it gets a Western release.
