I quit the game after season 1. The lack of weapon kits and maps still hurt.
Salmon Run was great though. I’ll wait a year or two before jumping back in.

@majinx07
I mean...it's so easy to trade for the missing Pokemons since Sun and Moon. This shouldn't be a selling point nowaday.
Between this and people buying the 2 versions, Gamefreak will not update their business model.

@Magician
''E3 is an antiquated event that has lost its relevance in the industry.''
How so?

There is no competitive format yet with these new 'mons.
We don't even know what the netx game will be and if it will follow the old formula.
There are no abilites in Legend Arceus. Many offensive moves have been scaled back and most boosting moves now affect normal and special stats (hopefully what I said made sense?)
It's just too soon to assume anything.
Heh, NL gotta generate clicks on their Website somehow.

I am going to be that person, but it's just depressing to witness Gamefreak not being able to create something so beautiful and vibrant. I am impressed by most 1st party game by Nintendo, but Gamefreak is still figuring out how to develop a game for Wii. Gameplay looks fun, but the world is painful to look at.
Sorry everyone, I had to put it out there lol!

None?
I stopped at Sun and Moon and don’t plan to buy any new entries for a while thank you

I wished the joy cons were bigger honestly. I get cramps if I play handheld.

''I much rather prefer landscapes where attention to detail is prioritized over a vast empty space just for the sake of being large.''
I completely agree with you on that one. However, priorizing details has NEVER been Game Freak's focus. Espcially when it comes to world building.

@billynotsilly Hahaha
You do you my friend!

Please, do not pay for this…
Vote with you wallet.

@Snatcher
Everything you just wrote are essentially every issues I have with this game.
Tbh, there is a trend in Nintendo Switch games to cut content(Mario Party, Mario Tennis).
We were all hoping that missing parts would eventually come to the game later, but it never happened.
I totally respect those who love this game, but I find it awful, bland, repetitive, shallow...but cute. Lol

@CodyMKW
What are you talking about? It’s true that the game impose an AI match if you lose too many times in a row.
Otherwise, you play against real players. Don’t spread your fake news please.

@Iggy-Koopa
You have been told wrong my friend. Try out the game yourself and forge your opinion.
This game is free to play and you don’t have to spend a dime to reach master level.

Happy birthday!

@liljmoore
Dude, I hope you don't make this assumption in every aspect of your life. "I don't have this problem, so it probably doesn't exist..."I try to be respectful, but come on.

The nostalgia business is in full swing. Tbh, I understand the appeal of those 3 classics, but I am completely surprised to witness so many people willing to throw money away on old games. I bet the Switch 2 or next console will have a collection with Galaxy 2 and people will double dip. I am just stunned by how easy it is for Nintendo to make money on very very old products.
That said, have fun

Which baffles me why Nintendo still mainly target and create these games for a much younger audience. It is the same principle with Pokemon (I know, Gamefreaks). The younger audience really enjoy mobile game on online gaming which are not Nintendo's strongest points. Regardless, adults really do enjoy video games and I think Nintendo can do a better job to cater an adult audience outside of nostalgia.

@Damo
May I remind you of the mission of Nintendolife :
"The Nintendo Life team is dedicated to bringing you the biggest news and trustworthy reviews from the wide world of Nintendo".
This article has nothing to do with informing the public.
Everytime you reply to readers, it fells condescending. Imagine a journalist replying to readers of an article because they voice their opinions...Just let it slide and write news and reviews.
Thank you

I feel like some people are defending this game without been rational. Don't feel offended by this. Remind me of some individuals defending Pokemon Sword/Shield while there was some major problems within the game.
I see some comments "the game is meant to be slow" or "this is like real life". I disagree simply because this is a video game. In real life, you would not only prepare a fish bate, but also attach it to your fishing rod, wait for a while and maybe have a chance to reel in a fish. It's not real life, you still want to have fun while playing. What I mean by that, is this game could use MANY quality of life improvements because some aspect of the game are uselessly repetitive. It might get better but the devs are making some aspects of the game slow for no reason. Take the intro of Splatoon 2 for example made by the same director as ACNH.
Sorry for the long post.

Honestly, I love this game!
I played Pokemon all my life except Let's GO and I don't intend to buy Sword and Shield.
There is more challenge and strategy in this game then most Pokemon titles in recent years. I had to change my strategy a few times to beat certain chapters of the game. They kind of force you to use different trainers to mix it up. Moreover, trainers have more personalities in this games then all Pokemon games combined. I just finished the last chapter and there is still things to do and Pokemon to level up. I DIDN'T SPEND ANY MONEY ON THIS GAME.
I usually hate 3 on 3 battle in Pokemon, but Masters makes it fun and fast paced.
Hate all you want but I played for free and it was loads of fun.
Just wanted to balance things out a little.

@JaxonH
These are the same BATTLE animations as before, clearly. Some old animations are still the same like the trainer battle exclamation mark and trainer walking.
The crouching and sneaking is exactly the same as Ruby Shaphire Gen 3 remake on the 3DS.

My ONLY complaint about Splatoon 2 is the the ability system. The ability chunks, clothing's brand forcing you to choose certain gear simply to get the ability you need is really bothersome. If you want to test every ability to its full potential, nous need to grind for hours and hope you get lucky with the drink tickets...
I wished players could simply choose the abilities and the gears they want. I am sure this would help new players to better understand each unique ability and make the game a bit more tactical for casual players.

"He was also infamously a master at avoiding any and every single question thrown at him in any interview, that's a special kind of skill."
This is why Reggie has always been irritating. He never answers the damn questions. Please tell us something instead of being vague and dissuasive.

What did I just read? Is John Madden the next DLC character?!

None.....
How about new games instead?!

@CrimsonMoonMist I agree with you it's an awesome game, but this isn't a ''little game'' like you said. I think it took me 20 + hours to finish it. The website How long to beat mark it 26 to 45 hours which is a lot for a snes game and long enough for today standard.

@Agramonte The graphics are so-so, but they created a patch that fix everything else. I just finished ending A. I highly recommend this game to anyone with a PC or PS4! Awesome story.

@ritouf You should definitely consider Smash Ultimate. With all the details we have seen since E3 2018, I can assure you that Smash will not be as bare bones and disappointing as Aces and Mario Party. I played both and they felt half finished. Maybe wait for the reviews of Smash next week?

Nier : Automata!
25$ on Steam....excellent game

@IHateTombs I did not like the game (mechanics, story mode and unbalanced online). It was just not fun.

Moreover, I’m really disappointed by their post content strategy that I’ll probably never buy this game. (I played the demo at least)

If they decide to replace Rosalina with Pauline in every new Mario game, I would be so happy. I seriously don't understand this character. Is she supposed to be a galactic Princess Peach?...sorry for the rant. Go Pauline, boo Rosalina.

@Dog ?

@Fuz agreed 🤙

I did not buy the game. Still, those who go on a rant against "the haters" telling that people can't judge a game that they don't buy. Well...it's not because a game sells well that it is good. I just want you to see the other side of the argument. If an Ariana Grande album outsold a Pink Floyd album, it doesn't mean that it's better and that people should shut up about it. Pokemon always sell very well, it doesn't mean it's better than Mario Odyssey because it outsold it. I hope you guys understand my point and lay easy on "the haters should shut up because the game is popular" argument.

@Alex0714 Not necessarily. Some people complain because it is the 2nd remake of the Kanto region (FiredRed LeafGreen). I don't care about the game mechanics, I just don't want to pay 80 Canadian dollars for a remake of a game I played to death time and time again.

@oji I know people will strongly disagree with you on piracy, but I don’t. I was telling my friends how it sucks that there is so many games out there but very few ways to try them first. I spent money on many games not worth my time and I wished I could try them before buying. Demos are pretty rare these days.

This game is all about nostalgia, yet they changed his team. I’m nitpicking I know, but no Blastoise and no Charizard for the character named Red sure is surprising.

@Shizuelle Hahahaha true indeed

@Silly_G Amen brother!

I understand that one doesn't always have the money to buy more than one gaming device but man...these games were released years ago and are worth less than 10$ on other platforms. I bought Child of Light (awesome game) 3 years ago for 8 dollars on Wii U. It's currently 6 dollars on Steam. I'm always surprise to witness people buying these games full price on the Switch. Diablo III sells for 25$ on Steam compared to 60$ on Switch....a game that was released in 2012....2012!

@aaronsullivan ''It is an inlet for the uninitiated and those who came to Pokemon through Pokemon Go. It is ushering in new fans while they take time with the main game for the traditional fans.''
I don't know...The reason why so many people played Pokemon Go must be that it's free. Having to pay for a Nintendo Switch + 60$ game (80$ in Canada) might be too expensive for players who simply use the game for free on their mobile phone.
Although I do agree that Let's Go and the core game do not have the same target audience.

I decided to skip this games as soon as they announced it. Looking forwards to the game release so we can finally have information about Pokemon 2019.

@sketchturner I bought the game this week as well. I was charmed at first, but the game becomes a chore near the end. I love golf and I love video games. Sid Meier's Sim Golf is one of my favorite game ever, but playing the most of the courses twice in row is a drag. I probably won't finish the game. Still fun though!

I already preordered, but man...too much information about the game. I feel like I played 20+ hours already.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I had making it. I will make sure to play yours in return of course!!
Here's a video of the original level!
