Some of the people in the comments need to chill. Like, I understand and agree with the complaints, but you still sound too hostile.

Still waiting for the NA eshop sale...

@Ralizah I understand what you mean, but this suggestion doesn't really do nothing for people that are far more invested in the world and characters of Pokémon.

@RupeeClock I get being too easy for people that know those games inside and out, but braindead seems like a hyperbole.

No issue with the article itself, but do you guys really need to use the SAME image so often?

It's kind of a weird theme for the final event. Doubly so because it's the only one based on stages, and there's a lot more they could have done.
Is it possible that there will still be new events alongside reruns?

"But I'm too lazy to think of a better insult for my knee-jerk reaction!"

For once I am glad that Nintendo tends to take their time when it comes to adopting new trends and technologies.

@anynamereally So would it take a score of 11 or 12 to make a game above 8?

I'm kind of surprised that Barok van "I Will Never Forgive the Nipponese" Zieks scored so high in a Famitsu poll.

This was one of those titles that really made me appreciate being able to rent games back in the day. Not terrible, but expecting something closer to Yoshi's Island, I was very unimpressed.

Would people be willing to make arrangements to go to Nintendo's HQ in Washington and bang on their door to improve the service? As well as to voice other general grievances? It would be ironic if they were too lazy to actually go and protest.

@sword_9mm Typical negative comment with nothing to add to the conversation.
Nothing to see here.

@Expa0 @EliteXeos To each their own, and it would be nice to give the option to turn it off, but I don't really get being that upset with the Exp. Share. Grinding levels for one pokémon at a time was far from being one of the most engaging things about the games, at least for me.

@nukatha 11 x 13 - Not so much, it seems.

Depending on what other games get released at the time, this might be a blessing in disguise.

I got both passes just for the principle of having the complete roster, and overall I did not regret it. I'm not a competitive player, but the new spirit events have kept me coming back, and now that everyone is here, I might do a replay of World of Light.
As for Mii costumes, I only bought the three that came with music tracks, but I might pick one or two others of characters that I like.

@FroZtedFlakerZz He doesn't, sadly. Still, considering he was one of my top picks and the costume itself looks pretty great, I'm really considering buying this mii costume anyway.

With the things introduced in Gen 8 (nature mints and the hidden ability capsule), all that's really left is a way to get the exact IVs necessary for minmaxing - more than just being able to maximize stats, that is. For example, 0 IVs in Attack can be useful to minimize damage from confusion, while 0 in Speed is valuable for Trick Room teams. And then you get pokémon like stakataka, where careful management of IVs can mean getting useful Attack boosts rather than redundant Defense boosts thanks to its ability.

@Ulysses The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles certainly counts.

One thing that's usually forgotten nowadays is that Apollo wasn't very warmly received by the fanbase at the time, due to replacing Phoenix and not really standing out on his own. More people started liking him with Dual Destinies, which had some developments that helped flesh him out as a character, and the turnaround was firmly established with how important his part was in Spirit of Justice - in which he was essentially the main character, despite the initial focus on Phoenix.
Come to think of it, similar things happened to young, hip "replacements" of other Capcom protagonists (Nero and Axl).

@Ultimapunch Sure, and they were NEVER going to launch a new Metroid game or do anything again with Advance Wars.

While it makes sense why you didn't include Investigations 2, it's still a shame considering how it has one of the best stories in the series.

@ATaco You must think you're so funny.

I know that realistically speaking this will barely affect sales, but considering how important it is that this game does well, it's still kind of infuriating.

Yeah, I'm getting it... but due to circumstances I don't really feel like explaining, I probably won't be able to play it before February next year.

Looks like some of the numbers in the direct's final summary may not be so final after all... and I'm ok with this.

Black-haired Samus is definitely an example of 80's manga character design. No complaints here.

Maybe it's just my personal nostalgia, but Portrait of Ruin could have been a little higher (though I'm still satisfied that it's in the top 10).

@MajinSoul You know, I think reports of review-bombing (at least when it comes to games) diminished a lot after Metacritic started a policy of only allowing user reviews a few days after a game is launched.

Hey, these are the developers that did Touhou Luna Nights, a pretty good metroidvania that was completely ignored by the site.

A get the distinct feeling some of the staff are tired of Smash.
Anyway, I would rather go in predicting or expecting nothing. It's good to avoid disappointments, and make good surprises that much better.

Does anyone remember that "best character" poll on GameFaqs that was won by a Tetris L-Block?

Starting your press release with "The eternal disappointment of Nintendo fans continues" is kind of a red flag.

Sometimes I wish we knew what exactly goes behind the scenes to understand the reasoning for why it takes so long for features like this one to be implemented (among many, MANY other things). In a way that doesn't get anyone who doesn't deserve it in trouble, of course.

I was checking the comments here and getting confused by how many people were asking/hoping for a new Mario Golf for the Switch. For a moment I thought they had disliked Super Rush so much that they decided to disregard its existence... and then I noticed the article is over a year old.

On a related note, I was thinking about the TCG games for the Game Boy, and realized that one big reason why those haven't been ported anywhere yet might have something to do with Wizards of the Coast (the Magic the Gathering company, responsible for the first Pokémon cards) and related copyrights.

@VoidofLight This has been my modus operandi for the longest time, not only with games but also with movies and TV series. This may have played a part in my enjoyment of certain things that end up getting a mild or negative reception for most people.

@Frailbay30 @Fangleman32 You must think you're so funny.

I understand the disappointment regarding Nintendo not showing up for this event - I do think it could be a good opportunity for one or two announcements.
Still, the display of excessive bad faith in comments like those of @Bunkerneath and specially @LUIGITORNADO is kind of baffling.

I'm a bit out of the loop, but just to be sure: is the gameplay of Luminous Avenger iX closer to that of Megaman X/Zero/ZX? Gunvolt didn't really click with me.

A while ago, Sakurai posted a picture with Pyra "flying" alongside Gruntilda in Spiral Mountain, and some immediately took it as a hint that the following/final character might be Reimu or Marisa from Touhou. Which CAN still be possible, but only as much as any other "teaser" he has posted.
Bottom line is, let's try not to overthink things too much.

@Andy_Witmyer Well, Atlus likes to take their time. It took years before Persona 5 was released, so I think an EO announcement is still to come.
This was a nice quick interview.

All around excellent news, but looking a bit forward, I imagine some people may be upset if the very next game after this one has the same general gameplay as Sword/Shield. Only after that should the new mechanics from Legends Arceus really start to seep in (assuming it's successful, which hopefully it will be).

@Silly_G I guess I'm just tired of sarcasm, then. It's my own problem.

@Silly_G The way you say it, it's almost like you want them to do exactly this to be proven right and justify your disdain. It's not healthy.

A lot of these comments make me think about what people want from a Pokémon mainline game. Many want the very very best and expect/hope for significant upgrades, and feel cheated/betrayed when it doesn't happen. Others just want the core experience in a new setting and with new characters, and any actual upgrades are a nice bonus. I guess I'm in the latter field.

It's kind of weird to see a GG character in something that isn't cel-shaded.

Sometimes I feel that there are people that enjoy the fact that the Pokémon fandom became so disharmonious in recent times, and some may even take any chance they can to fan the flames.

@Jey887 Nope, that's a separate game.
