I am so excited for this! Already bought it on the eShop app, and I'll play it when I get home!

@UpsideDownRowlet we must team up against @AshaTalksTooMuch for their sacrelidge of claiming Snorlax is the best (in reality, I love all three of them lol

16/24
Considering I haven't ever played a Pokemon game, I'm rather impressed with myself.

@UpsideDownRowlet 💣💣💣

@Nep-Nep-Freak yessiree

@Browt you'll be my starter in my first ever Pokemon game!!

I counter that with why Spheal is best:

• Round
• Blu
• He friend
• He sleep
• He swim
• He check on you
• He spherical

I'm not a Pokemon guy, but I saw Spheal in there for about half a second, so that bumped the score up to an 8 lol

I didn't care at all, since I'm not a Pokemon fan.

Then I realized that "all Pokemon" would include Shpeal and Smolive! The only two I care about lol — so of course I watched it.

A game collection that has Rescue Rangers (my favorite childhood show) and the Moon Theme from Ducktales? Plus OTHER STUFF?! Count me in!!

@Nao120 first off, congrats on the soon to be engagement! But secondly, I agree! I personally don't like Kirby Air Riders at all. When I see article and videos about it, you know what I do? Keep scrolling. I don't go into the comments and rip apart the game because I don't like the controls or the visuals, I just ignore it and click on a video about Splatoon instead. It's that easy, you guys!

@Gatorclops all good! I try to keep it light, because there's definitely way too much anger going around.

To everyone:
Let's remember that
1. Gaming isn't a right
2. You don't have to buy anything you don't want
3. There are more important things to be mad about

As long as we can all be self-aware I don't mind XD

Seriously though, it's crazy how mad people get when others buy things. Like, yeah, I'm gonna complain for months about this release, but I'm not stopping anyone from buying it — and the reverse is true for controversial purchases I've made (Mario Galaxy, for one)

@Gatorclops sorry, I mistyped the ages haha! But I wasn't referring to the color names, I mean that the GBA had a filter to it that make the Mon look a certain way, but that's not present on the ports, meaning they have the wrong shades in the actual spritework. Not a big deal, per se, but annoying considering how low-effort these already are. Mainly, though, I was being facetious 😅

I am not a horror guy at all, but he has a good point. GameChat is super fun/intuitive, so who knows? Maybe I'll get around to this someday.

Makes sense — I mean, 40 bucks for an amazing Mario platformer from 2 decades ago that has a few QoL changes and updates is wayyyyy too much, but 20 bucks for unchanged ports of 30 year old Pokemon games that have zero changes other than having the wrong colors is totally fair.... 🙄

@Phelaidar that's totally fair, but most of the folks who complain aren't buying. I didn't complain about the Switch 2 price, or the MKWorld price, or the DKBanaza DLC price, because I bought them all and found them all satisfactory. This, though? I'm complaining, because I think it's a terrible value proposition.

Absolutely not. If there were to be a single added feature, maybe, but as it stands, this is worse quality than NSO. With NSO, I can play games online, I can rewind, I can have multiple save slots, I can play both versions within a single app.... This is objectively the worst form of this set they could have released.

This has been leaked for a good long while, but I'm still not sure I believe it

Smoliv!! I love my terrified little food child from the game series I've never played lol

@Waluigi451 I miss Arcade Bunny!

• I wholeheartedly agree! Multiple consoles (whether they be a Switch and Steam Deck or a PC and PS5 or any other combo) are a great way to cover the weaknesses of one another!
• That's definitely true — personally, I'll be getting it for the single player content and local multiplayer games, but it's definitely strange that it's so restricted.
• I can see where you're coming from, but I personally like the simplicity of the Switch ecosystem. That's not to say options would be bad, but I, for one, am nonplussed about it (For my fellow grammarians, I have finally given in and begun using the modern definition for that word. I'm sorry.).
• Please do!

I'd prefer if they offered it both ways, but that would set a precedent for all the games on NSO, so I see why they didn't.... But I'm already paying for NSO, whereas this is separate — so it's a hard pass for me.

I voted "Yes, but I'm waiting for the physical," but "Yes, it'll be my first time playing X" also applies! I can't wait!

Well, guess I'll be belting out Golden for the rest of today...

@link3710 I just discovered his channel! I'll definitely give this a shot.

@Broosh @EarthboundBenjy Is have to assume that's the intent behind the "what game?" option, though it's not a perfect solution

You had me until you pointed out that this would be great for Wind Waker, but on-the-go.... Now I'll be avoiding this on principle! 😂 I'm kidding, of course — even if I do hate Wind Waker, I won't pass on a good controller just because of the connotation. Still not for me, most likely: getting used to another button layout is never fun! Hopefully those who do back it end up satisfied, though!!

Have I ever played Ace Attorney? No.
Have I played Among Us at all this year? No.
Will that stop me from getting this? No!

Genuinely so fun! Got it at a good price via Costco (technically as a bday gift for my brother, but we had to test run it, ya know? 😉), and it's an absolute blast 9/10 (though I haven't tried the singleplayer content yet).

It's gotta be SPHEAL!!

The yoyos are such a goofy idea that I almost want them

I've always had a soft spot for the Wii-era horses!

I'm going with Peach and Toad, just due to the background characters!

Yeah, unfortunately prices on all electronics are rising. At the very least, the fact that a price rise may be incoming already should be proof that Nintendo didn't overprice the Switch 2 to maximize profits — if they had, they'd be able to push off a price hike for a while longer. Definitely glad I snagged on at launch!!

I've been meaning to play it for years, I'll snag it later today as a birthday present to myself!!

I'm super hyped for this one! My mom grew up playing Goldeneye on the N64, and more recently my siblings have gotten into James Bond, so we're gonna get together and do a playthrough in May!!

patiently waiting for tomorrow so I can vote for the greatest pokemon of all time, spheal

@AlanaHagues there are quite a few typos throughout this article.... Perhaps leave out correct on, next time haha. For example: "a cuter version or Cluedo" Might want to run through and make some quick corrections 😊

@Nep-Nep-Freak I read "Htperdimension Neptuinia" and immediately thought oop, time to see what NepNepFreak has to say 😂

Assuming it reviews well, I just might pick this up! Looks very much like something my little sister will enjoy (who am I kidding, I'll probably play it too!).

I've always heard this is a good one, maybe I'll snag it! Also, apparently everyone else here knows something about the creator that I don't, given the number of "ew yucky he's awful" comments I'm seeing.... Care to enlighten me??

I have yet to play a Pokemon game, but I've made a deal with a friend: if there's ever a game with Snorlax, Spheal, and Smoliv, I will get that one.

I am getting tired of all the comment sections full of people stating that they don't like the subject of the article lol. It's hard to do, but as someone who doesn't like Kirby Air Riders, ya know what I do? I don't click on Kirby Air Riders articles or join forums about it!

Mini rant aside, I have yet to beat either, but being about 10 hours into HK and 1 hour into SS, I like HK more. I'm not sure why, though.

I understand that we are all a bunch of lonely gamers who can't go out and make real friends and whatnot, but good gosh you guys are odd. I get that having more singleplayer content would have been good, of course! But why are we acting like it's a sin for the game to be focused on multiplayer? It's a sports game, for crying out loud! You know, the type of thing made to be played with other humans? sigh....

Rapid had such a small nerf it's barely noticable.
Pro on the other hand? It needs 3 MAINS OF INK SAVER to get back to where it was. That's crazy!

@JohnnyC I don't think the next game is going to a Warriors game, just that it will be inspired by some part of it. I'd definitely be OK with another 2D game (but please give us a new artstyle, Nintendo!)

Lovely read, it really gets me excited for the future of the series! Idk if @ChelseaReed will be a regular contributor, but she's got a lovely style!

I've been milling over how this statement from Mr. Aonuma could be intended. Taking this alongside the leaks suggesting some sort of "rifts" in reality, I wonder if perhaps it's referring to having multiple playable characters, as well? I doubt Link would be fully replaced, but perhaps the game will be split between multiple protagonists/playstyles! For example, Link could operate in the normal world, but go through a tear in reality and you instead play as Zelda, with unique capabilities and a different perspective on the story! Then the end of the story could tie it all together! It definitely could be exciting!

I'm excited about this one, but Nintendo probably should have included single player sections in the preview — that's what most "real gamers" are here for lol, hence the incredibly "meh" views I'm seeing.
