@durrdevil the irony of saying this with a Pokémon avatar is too much

Of course there’s more. It’s extremely obvious they haven’t revealed everything yet. They didn’t make a new splatoon for the same console to be the exact same thing, give Nintendo a little credit

Oooo I forgot about this! V excited for this one

TPC is definitely its own thing, but a Pokémon direct is in turn a Nintendo product as well. TPC doesn’t just blast one out without heavy Nintendo involvement. That said, it still doesn’t matter. There will 1000% be a splatoon 3 info dump this month

Doesn’t really resemble Mario land at all, but still good art nonetheless

@Li_Bae people fear the unknown

@HammerKirby why does it need to wait? I do t understand. If it’s really good and ready to go on a console that presumably has another 3 or so year lifespan, what is the issue?

ALSO there’s been a huge emphasis on the new setting. A seemingly isolated city in the middle of a vast wasteland. The bow is the big showcased new weapon and the cinematic from the original trailer evoked a feeling of adventure. I think there’s more to this than we know

@Snatcher worth noting that acnh looked basically exactly like new leaf until the direct a month before launch dumped loads and loads of info. I highly doubt they would make a splatoon 3 on the same console that was just exactly the same

@dojmin the first one actually is still very active. You’ll get more than enough time to enjoy the new and even go back to it some years later

@HammerKirby tbf splatoon is still a very new series, and the formula is nowhere near stale or losing any kind of steam at this point. Not sure a reinvention is needed quite yet

People, as in arlo made a video. I’m not worried at all. I still think there’s some kind of mode or catch we don’t know about yet. However, Nintendo tends to encapsulate big core gameplay elements on the box art. I thjnk we all know what we’re getting here for the most part. Totally fine with it. I want it now.

@PessitheMystic yeah kinda sounds like you’re not just asking questions and wanting to understand. You def have firm opinions on the matter and clearly looking to provoke. Good luck out there

@PessitheMystic I’ve basically already answered it, but there also used to be no warnings on anything. Whether that is mental or physical health. No warnings on cigarettes or lead toys or extreme gore in movies etc etc. They also used to harm animals on film for movies and have children work adult hours in factories. These are extreme examples, but the existence of a trigger warning on a piece of media that has particularly heavy themes is not that big of a deal, and is really helpful for people who would rather not access certain emotions for the sake of consuming that media. And fwiw the mpaa existed for this genre of movie you are referencing, it’s really not that different

@PessitheMystic with mental health matters being destigmatized over the last handful of years, there is more of an awareness and acknowledgment of stimuli that could trigger extremely stressful and negative reactions, recalling trauma in any given person. Being broadly desensitized to violence, sexuality or any number of themes in modern media doesn’t mean certain traumas are just fixed and everything is fine. Trigger warnings are much appreciated if appropriate

@Farts_Ahoy not a hard concept

Is it actually fun? Like do the mechanics and stuff feel satisfying? I think that aesthetically it looks incredible

Yet, they won’t develop a sequel. The developers did something pretty special with sonic there. Sega could never replicate on their own lol. Far and away the best sonic game

Yeah this is hideous

I wonder how much the execs are making

Nice. I was underwhelmed at first w the new maps, but now starting to see some connective tissue. I like how every new map so far has a sense of place in this new setting; they all fit thematically

Yeah this still looks bad. Not understanding the concept. Looks like a hodge podge of random activity in random locations. No sense of place. Pretty graphics

Another stark reminder that sonic mania is the best sonic game by a generous margin.

I really can’t think of any music from current Nintendo franchises that begin to even approach the bar splatoon sets

@Degenerate_Mii notice how they haven’t done a deep dive on ranked or single player yet? Be patient there is more. And if it’s supported like splatoon 2, even more after release. Very likely getting a dedicated splatoon direct at some point in next few months

Also, I’m confident there’s a whole different mode we haven’t seen. There’s been a huge emphasis on the new splatsville location and how it’s out in the middle of the desert. Big wide open space. Gotta be a reason for that

@Degenerate_Mii there’s new stages, new weapons, new music, new specials, new setting, new clothing…lots of trailers out there

@Mikey_205 it’s better imo. Better music, better graphics, way more gameplay options and characters to pick from. When you really boil down the originals, you could trim so much fat from them. Mania did that beautifully, and added some new zones that are just so much better than some of the clunkier old ones

I feel like sonic mania already achieved whatever this collection does, and then some. It’s by far the best sonic game, like to the point that revisiting the originals doesn’t feel as good

Tbh I never really took it seriously. Pikmin 3 was still only like 2 years old at that point. With Wii U tanking bad, was kinda clear that all resources would go to getting the next console out asap

It’s a cool idea, just looks a little bare. Definitely prefer the splatoon 2 stages more so far

O I’m sure it was a huge financial inspiration to make the game, period

I love his hair!! We could have had Kirby w hair

@CharlieGirl all hype is memetically manufactured

*wants u to BUY 1&2 first

@Giancarlothomaz They really never got it right

Every sonic game since like 1994 should have had more quality resources put into development. Quite frankly these games are always middling-bad. You had to know right off the bat from the announcement that this game would be the botw/open world take on sonic, and that it was going to be awkward. I was shouted down by many at the time, but this is precisely 1000% what I thought this game would be

My expectations for SGF are ALWAYS in check lol

Meh. Unfortunately I've bought into the last three gens, and was not into any of them. There's not a single thing about this new that tells me it's going to be any different.

K this is 1000% exactly what I thought it would be. Sonic teasers are pure fools gold, this is just same stuff different gen.

Let’s go has the best in game art style by far come at me

Of course it’s ripped off. Do I wanna play it? Definitely

Lmao o we didn’t know about this! Ok

When it comes, I’m here for it. In the meantime, it’s my 90000000th run of dark souls remastered

Easily a few more years

@victordamazio I’ll rephrase it: insular internet complainers who always complain about everything, should not be taken into consideration.

@victordamazio k, but that’s a big Hollywood movie with millions and millions of dollars behind it and resources to go back and change everything. Plus the negative feedback went far beyond a small fanbase. It was like a worldwide meme laughing stock situation. Massive difference between that and a small video game release. Yes you ultimately want to please your audience, but this stuff is set in stone, and people are being unreasonable. To change it now would bankrupt the project. The insular echo chamber should be tuned out. Sorry.

imo This art style doesn’t even begin to approach how horrific that sonic design was. In fact I think looks really nice.

Looks great, never ever listen to input from online fanbase, stick to the vision

Wii sports worked because the experience was completely new and bizarre at the time. Plus, it was a pack in. It embodied everything the Wii was about, and it was the whole reason many people bought a Wii. That can’t be recaptured. The core experience of the switch is very different, and it’s been achieved already. This was never going to live up to Wii sports

Fine with me as long as it doesn't suck

I would honestly say the 3ds. As much as I like some of the bigger games, I just remember feeling so underwhelmed with the gimmick and Mario 3d land. Then most of the catalog ended up being remakes/ports etc. Was worth it for kid Icarus and animal crossing, but beyond that I just wasn't crazy about it.

For software, would have to go with 1-2 switch and red steel.
