@Rika_Yoshitake Lol, the first trailer of BotW (also a year before release) showed us 2 minutes of new or revamped gameplay mechanics, wild life, and an extra minute of just different environments.

Arceus 2:30 only had a minute of Gameplay, and even then they struggled to probably fill that with content. We see that one village from the same angle three times, only rocky glasslands you can throw together in a few hours with today's terrain creation tools and Pokémon not interacting, just idling... and frame dropping while doing so.

I wouldn't mind about this if this was an early reveal... but it's less than a year to go... and TPC opened preorders with this trailer.

It either means that they didn't have better footage to use for one minute of gameplay (this was not a playable demo or uncommented Gameplay, this was an edited trailer), or they thought the standard was good enough to get Pokémon fans to preorder.

Both is concerning for an Open World Game. Especially one made by the biggest Franchise on the planet.

@LN3000 "Free to use" =/= "Free of credit"

See Creative Common Copyrights

@MaxiPareja It's not Q&A's job to check if developers adhere to their contracts.

A game's quality isn't defined by names in the credits getting left out. It just defines the quality of the company, which in this case is poor.

I actually have Cofee Talk in my Steam Library due to some humble bundle. Guess I should give that a go some time.

Also surprised Aviary Attorney didn't make the list, though I only know it makes fun of Phoenix Wright and it got good reviews on NL.

This is why I was so dissappointed that "Bendersnatch" only had one possible Number. With all the sidepaths it took, it just feels lazy that they didn't seize the opportunity and hide a number anywhere.

@Eric258 Me too.

@Kimyonaakuma She released three more albums and got a baby since then. The last album dropped in September or so.

Realized mine was dead a while ago. Sold my boxed copy to a reseller for 20 bucks and bit the bullet and paid 44€ for the digital version to save my save file.

It probably would have been enough to save them via Pokémon Home, but I didn't wanna risk getting a new copy and that not working either...

I'm surprised this is newsworthy now. When I looked into this, all the comments I've found online said it's common, thus I didn't expect anyone to bother and patch this.

@Pirate1 ...get out

@Pirate1 Thought so too!

My backlog is more than stuffed, but I'll certainly pick this up if they offer a sale in the future.

@acNewUpdates That got me confused as well.

I think it's a bit of a D-move to announce this AFTER offering Overcooked 2 as a Game Trial (with a sale too).

I bought 1 and 2 because I enjoyed playing it with friends. I'm not too salty about the extra content (especially as Switch doesn't get 4K or 60 fps), but I would have waited for the package for crossplay...

@TheFullAndy What the NintendoLife article is missing is that the plot is that a cupid accidentally hit the protag with a love arrow.

You explained this dynamic as if this is something to be sought after, which it is not by the game's dynamic. This "love curse" prevents the player from getting to the girl he actually likes (thus, making the girls obstacles in the game). He shoots the girls with the "pheromone shot" to get away from them, not to "be empowered over them"

Yes, the PR is misleading (to get both horny teens and people with prejudice) to talk about the game. Yes, it pokes fun at sexual bishoujo tropes.

But other than games like DoA Xtreme 3 with lackluster gameplay that is just an excuse to unlock borderline porn, this has actual gameplay in it and is more about being silly than being lewd. Especially if you like rail-shooter-gameplay but don't like blood, this could be an alternative.

Also, it's totally okay if you are not a fan of these kind of games. But I think it's ridiculous to waste a whole lot of time worrying over a headline - especially when trying to force your own political agendas upon others - while not even spending two seconds looking into the matter.

@Wargoose I can't talk for the actual DoA, but DoA Xtreme is way worse in both regards, as it has terrible gameplay for a sports game and is MILES lewder than Gal Gun.

@TheFullAndy You didn't even care to understand the description, lol. It#s evident that most of the arguments you bring to the table are just made up by prejudice.

@Nagi Rumble Rush was outright terrible, I agree. One of those games you pay so that it plays itself. Not surprised this one got cut off by now.

@Nagi The F2P version had a spending limit. After spending 40$, you got the same extras which were used in the retail version later.

The only difference is that you had this one on a cart and had the option to pay less. (Not considering that you can get this for 10$ used by now).

...is Bowser using a render from N64 times?

I think it's wholesome how the journalist pointed out that Doug is almost six.

Also, golden opportunity missed in the sub-headline, NintendoLife

"Das Spielzeug ist für meine Kinder, welche volle Kanne echt sind."

Since you asked how to say it in german Also got a bit creative with phrases to make it sound more plausible.

...okay, reading his recent tweets I can now totally say that he's a slimy person.

I'm not saying he's in the wrong (iuristically speaking), but totally not a person I'd want to trust either my IP or charity money with...

@DCorp I think your response was really well-written and did a good job in summarizing all points at hand. It's easy to jump to conclusions and only listen to the site you support, so I really appreciate you taking all sites into consideration without being biased.

Personally, I think Cptn_Alex lost even more credit after he voiced his perosnal opinion on the relationship of Etika and his brother (in the "Here's my receipts"-Tweet). Even if his claims were true, he should really not voice his pinion at this point as he has literally no relation with Etika before making those shells.

However, I won't get any further into this, because as DCorp said, distancing yourself from it is the best you can do atm.

@westman98 Apparantley, he didn't even ask his family to use Etika's name... And only now has reached out to communicate with them (a year after Nintendo's C&D)...

There's more sketchy things going on right now, but I'm holding my horses until this gets resolved. He still gets the benfeit of the doubt of me, but so far his damage control is poorly at best.

@Zebetite Because the original author is Australian and the biggest part of the site is UK. This all happened outside of their working hours (it all happened in the last few hours).

@BTB20 No, the finals no longer happened, as the TOP 8 teams dropped out of the torunament because of this.

@BulbasaurusRex Right, I confused that with a pentagram.

I also think the first card that was shown to him was a "Team Rocket Kadabra", which got the whole "evil" idea stuck in his head.

Plus, them not exactly being the same still doesn't take away how it COULD be taken as a reference to said signs - but was altered. Just like everyone knows that Antony Hynkel's army is a reference to Nazi Germany, despite them wearing XX on their arm sleeves instead of the swastika.

OF COURSE everyone reading NintendoLife knows neither TPC or any Nintendo property would do an obvious negative caricature like that.
But someone who was already 54 back then when he realized he was being referenced might not be informed enough.

So at some level, I understand his initial reaction. But I do absolutely agree that he should have realized his misunderstanding more than a decade ago. (And yeah, it's also quite possible him or his lawyers thought it's good to push that antisemtic caricature story to get a case.)
Nevertheless, I think it's good it rather happened late than never, and I'm not going to hold a grudge about something that's in the past.

@Expa0 There are cards that let you skip the evolution process. Alakazam Ex for example can be played like a base evolution Pokémon

@impurekind Not doubting that, hence why I never said he did have a legal case. I just said he claimed it.

@thesilverbrick Each evolution refers to a different magician in Japanese. Alakazam is Foudin, either a reference to Jean Eugène Robert-Houdin or Harry Houdini

Uri Geller's problem isn't the spoons, but that Kadabra's japanese name obviously references his name, especially if you look at the Katakana:

ユンゲラー - Yungerer (Kadabra)
ユリゲラー - Uri Geller

He then interpreted parts of the character design to be referenced to him (he claimed the star on its forehead references the star of David, while the markings on his belly look like an SS-logo with an extra S to him), and didn't liked that he was being portrayed as something evil.

Glad to hear he is no longer associating it with negative press for him so it can finally return to the TCG and TV show.

@Zoda_Fett No, you get 50 coins per day for 6 hours of defending in an arena (counting one Pokémon, you could also use 6 who defend for an hour, etc.).

However, Transporter energy recharges without coins.
And you can get hard to catch legendaries or even rarer shiny mythical Pokémon from raids or as PvP rewards. You can get all of that for free (theoretically - depends on RNG) if you are patient enough to wait and play a lot.

I could transfer 3 or 4 Darkrais (yes, you can transfer mythicals that you can't even trade in Pokémon Go) before running out of energy, or one shiny Darkrai.

I didn't test it for normal Pokémon, but if it's not the same, I think that's fair, considering how easy it is to get legendary, mythical and shiny Pokémon in Pokémon Go. And that all considering how everything is - theoretically - available for free.

I do think however those dishing out for a Pokémon Home subscription should get faster recharging as part of the deal.

I can imagine that they pull a Gen 3 on us and release the reamining 234 with the Gen 4 remakes.

(For those who don't know: Back in Gen 3 we also had a dexit, until the national dex was unlocked by connecting your RS games to your FRLG edition)

@alexybubble Well, maybe the dream Mabe Village was based on the real Mabe village? Their are some things that crossed over to the dream after all.

Or we're just overthinking Nintendo's cameos.

@komodo182 Shadow Dragon for DS is the remake to this title. So it's basically the same game, but has lots of changes to update it and extra chapters that weren't present in the NES game.

What I remember most ist that the DS game has the weapon triangle (that wasn't introduced until FE4), it has extra Intro chapters for easy mode and you can get Nagi as a character when you lost both Tiki and the Falchion (as these are the only two options to deal effective damage to the final boss in the game).

I could see them adding the "Lost Levels"-Mode for anyone who got first at least once.

@Abeedo Especially as they worked around with that fact by making him look like Bugs Bunny who just digged up at the wrongest of places xD

Sounds exactly like my boss...

@jsw-8 Then don't take part Not everyone has to like everything, and if you don't like/know any of them, there's no shame in skipping the poll

@Samuel-Flutter Mother 3 was actually planned to be released as "EarthBound 64" and a trailer was shown at SpaceWorld 99 or so. I think Lucas wasn't shown in this, but Nintendo could have pulled a Roy and released him early with Smash.

Dark Samus totally didn't exist back then though. Even SA-X was still years away.

Is there any sega ages game out that wasn't released as a 3D Classic yet? I'm on the fence, but I think I got all the 3D Classics I was interested in back then. I have a hard time recalling because I played so many Sega collections already.

And all that despite all the lags, bugs and lackluster rewards :/

@Bisylizzie Hmm, thanks for clarifying that.

Sucks though, as this means essentially the customer gets essentially no customer proection rights (if kickstarter TOS haven't changed since this happened to my friend in 2014), bu has to adhere to all the downsides.

I'm not from the UK: Can they ask for a fee on something that didn't cost anything?

Because as far as I understood kickstarter, you are not "buying" stuff. You "donate" money, but are promised a product in return for certain amounts of money.
(This also means that you don't get refunds if the kickstarter fails to deliver, like a friend of mine had to learn painfully with a finger tracking system).

So while backers did indeed spend money on it, they didn't really buy it. They donated and get a "gift" in return.

@RupeeClock It wouldn't be the first time that Sakurai gives characters moves that they can't do in their original games (Ness/Lucas, Robin).

I could imagine them doing a Bowser Jr. kind of approach with all the characters sharing a moveset based on their moves.

Of course characters with a vastly different physique wouldn't work well with others, so Mr. Mummy, Max Brass and Mechanica are too heavy if we consider a character like Springman/tron or Riibbon Girl to become the main model. Byte & Barq, Misango and Dr. Coyle also seem too unique in their movement to be considered.
Characters that are compatible could be: Ribbon Girl, Ninjara, Min Min, Twintelle, Springtron.
Lola pop, Helix and Kid Cobra could be tricky, but maybe they could work, which would make it exactly 8 characters.

Springman was not included in the list as his spot is tricky as he is already an assist trophy. If they turn him into a playable character... that would open the door for characters like Waluigi. So it would actually be a Genius move to make Springman the first DLC announcement to hype everyone until they reveal Waluigi as the final DLC fighter.

Is the monty mole preorder sold out? Can't find it on the Lego Store any more

Is the monty mole preorder sold out? Can't find it on the Lego Store any more

The german localists really missed the mark by renaming "Wyndon" into.... Score City.

@Ogbert These don't get their own dex entry, however. Just lika Galarian Wheezing, that existed long before. Obstagoon and Perrserker are their own evolutions that jave their own Dex entry, thus skipping Gen 6 and 7 in the Pokémon Go dex

@Clamango Meltan is in a weird place as it was introduced with Pokémon Go/Let's Go on Switch and is (currently) not part of the Galarian Pokédex (despite having a Gigantamax form in the gamecode).

So not really "late Gen 7" like Zeraora, but also not early Gen 8.

@Grandiajet They didn't change anything in the week were it sparked. It's more likely that people with high dedication and loose wallets spent money to keep their streaks with incences and pokeballs.
