@SpaceboyScreams I would say that as this is launching on the Switch 2 meaning a lot may be holding off until they get a switch 2 this holiday, until after the holidays im not sure we can clearly say it is gonna do worse. Its also the second legends game rather than the first and the last game in the generation. All these factors lead to it performing poorer rather than quality
The only issue I have with the game was the way they handled Bayonetta and Luka's relationship. It just kinda happened with no build up throughout the game?
I rather if her death focused more on her passing the torch to Viola, fitting the themes of motherhood that have existed in the series as opposed to an underdeveloped romance
People commenting about Silksong being digital only, FYI, it's getting a physical next year and it's an indie company which isn't on the same level as Capcom, Square or Sega.
@Arawn93 well Legends Arceus only came out 10 months before Scarlet and Violet. Scarlet and Violet would have been well under way in development by then and they wouldn't have been able to make any major changes to the game based on fan reception of Legends Arceus. If anything Gen 10 will be where we see more changes based off Legends Arceus.
@Jeronan they want to guarantee a win. Plagarism cases are much harder to fight so they went the easier option to punish them. Capitalism doesn't breed fairness and righteousness.
@Jeronan I'd argue they're going after Palworld whatever way they can because of them plagiarising pokemon designs which other monster collectors didn't do.
@spider-kev it's almost like the tariffs were discussed before the full reveal and they have analysts to predict what might happen so they can plan for the worst case scenario and not need to raise the price after they are in effect having to raise the console price before it even launches!
@Pillowpants considering how much time they took to reveal the console, you would have thought they'd have ironed out the communication issues that may arise but clearly not
Feel like this is less to do with Scopely and more to do with some policy from the TPC about ads in the game. No other Pokemon mobile game has pop up ads either.

@TCKuma it's also exhausting when your preferred medium is being taken away and being told you can't complain about it.

It's a dead Pikachu, just like my interest in this game after it was revealed to be a Game Key Card

Re: Nintendo Wins $2 Million Lawsuit Against 'MiG Switch' Distributor
Irreparable harm is surely a bit dramatic but people know the risk when they do this stuff so they really shouldn't be shocked.
Re: Daemon x Machina: Titanic Scion Roadmap Outlined
Preordered this to support a true physical release since I enjoyed the first one but I guess I'll hold off playing for a few months now
Re: Pokémon Legends Z-A's Latest Mega Evolution Looks Particularly Snazzy
@Hapless there's going to be more 3 megas in the game i can confirm. Even more than 6, even triple that 9, even more.
Re: Pokémon Legends: Z-A Seems To Be Teasing Another New Mega Evolution
@LastFootnote actually 78% of megas do not change type at all. 13% gain a new type and 9% swap a type out and only 1 goes from dual to single typed.
Re: Pokémon Legends: Z-A Seems To Be Teasing Another New Mega Evolution
@Bobb Mega Diancie debutted back in Gen 6 so this is second Kalos native Mega

Re: Pokémon Fan Loses "20 Years Worth Of Data" After Performing Switch 2 Transfer
They needed to introduce cloudsaves yesterday for Pokemon games. Even something similar to Animal Crossing.
I had my Switch stolen 3 years ago and I lost all my Gen 8 Pokemon which sucked. Definitely is nothing compared to this person's though

Re: 'The Hundred Line' Dev Too Kyo Games Is Still "On The Brink Of Going Under"
Really hope they can sort things out. It's a wonder no other company tried to step in given how popular their games have been in the past.
Re: Bandai Namco's Sci-fi Pac-Man Adventure 'Shadow Labyrinth' Now Up For Pre-Order
@Freek worse than a game key cart. Hopefully only in Japan
Re: Bandai Namco's Sci-fi Pac-Man Adventure 'Shadow Labyrinth' Now Up For Pre-Order
Will the Switch 2 version be on the cart at all?

@FirMatt play Indie! Lot of great games that are better than major studios
Re: Xbox Is Raising The Price Of Consoles, Accessories, And Games Worldwide
I'm sure everyone will act like this is Nintendo's fault and not the state of the world's economic climate lol
Re: Astral Chain Director/Nier Automata Lead Designer Quits PlatinumGames
@ozwally yes that is a relief tbh
Re: Astral Chain Director/Nier Automata Lead Designer Quits PlatinumGames
I fear for Astral unChained, possible sequel to the original game.
I fear for all Platinum games after the loss of so much talent

Re: Nintendo Today Video Showcases The New Switch 2 Pro Controller
@Hawkes142 yeah special editions like that don't really happen that soon after release
Re: Nintendo Today Video Showcases The New Switch 2 Pro Controller
Holding out for a special edition one like the Splatoon 2 one for the original Switch.
I feel like Hyrule Warriors or Metroid Prime 4 will be the first one possibly

Re: Nintendo Removes Worrying Cloud Save Note From Select Switch 2 Game Pages
@Pillowpants considering how much time they took to reveal the console, you would have thought they'd have ironed out the communication issues that may arise but clearly not
Re: Uh Oh, It Looks Like Select Switch 2 Games Won't Support Cloud Saves
Makes absolutely 0 sense. This devalues NSO so much.
