@mariomaster96 Is the average age of console gamers now 12 or was that just convenient for your example?

@mariomaster96 We aren't talking about buying every game that releases (just 2 that are months apart) but your hyperbole demonstrates the weakness of your argument.

@NinjaWaddleDee Right, a Pokemon fan can wait months or play Pokemon now AND in a few months. We are talking about Pokemon fans here because non-fans wouldn't be waiting for the next Pokemon game anyway.

@NinjaWaddleDee I can’t buy this $60 game because another $60 game comes out months from now. /s

Don’t understand the logic.

I do prefer the older games to the newer ones and I do prefer a more linear experience. Exp share is fine with me and having access to the boxes at all times something I can take or leave. The effect of the moves being shown is also a take it or leave it thing.

@Specter_of-the_OLED The first Lufia game was published by Taito.

In the meantime, it pains us to mention that we are hearing reports of members of the development teams being harassed on social media.

Don't look over there dear customers, look over here instead.

@xshinox Ok thanks.

Do we know if there will be an official printed guide? I collect them.

@CodyMKW storage isn't a problem when most Switch users have huge micro sd cards

Exactly and since micro sd cards are free there should be no complaints. /s

@ballistic90 Exactly and since it's a budget $20 game, they probably didn't want to spend the money to do the necessary QA testing.

WHAT? It's not a budget game?

@13AM_Alex It's a video game. Stop losing sleep over a video game- one that's for kids!

I bet that if they did a survey it would be found that most Pokemon players are NOT kids. Especially where a remake of a 14 year old game is concerned.

Also, why do you think kids deserve lower quality products?

Now we know why Bowser is always so upset.

Peach has taken over Bowser's castle and Mario has to get her out of there for Bowser's sake.

@westman98 I don't see how this Pokemon Day 1 patch is any different from Day 1 patches in other games. If the general public didn't complain about those Day 1 patches, they won't complain about this one.

What's different about lootboxes in most games and the ones people made a big stink about in that EA Star Wars game a few years ago? Nothing, that was just the trigger.

@WallyWest Jesus christ a "Switch Pro" ain't happening

Don't you just want to reach through the screen and <insert action here>?

@westman98 Those were examples of how the masses don't always react to things immediately. A better example might be when people finally made a stink about lootboxes in that EA Star Wars game, that was a trigger or when Cyberpunk released in a severely broken state, people finally got upset.

By the time the game comes out in a week and a half, this article will be buried. Does it make sense to post an article like this now?

@anoyonmus a bigger question is why people are complaining that Pokémon does this day 1 patch while practically every other franchise does the same exact or similar thing for a long time

The masses don't generally complain as much about things the first time they happen. It takes a while before enough people get upset with a thing to make a stink.

For example, you may see male suicide rates getting alot more attention lately. 'Why now?', you may ask since the stats are nothing new, it's always been this way. It's just the way things work with the masses. It wasn't too long ago that homosexual rights were frowned upon by the masses and then everything flipped. Why? It's just the way the masses work.

Sometimes it just takes the right trigger. Something that has been a long time coming shouldn't be frowned upon when it arrives just because it didn't arrive sooner.

They probably did this to save money by using a smaller card size.

@SwitchForce Seems like alot of NintenDoomed has come out of the wood works now with this latest news.

I know right, don't people know that there is only one acceptable opinion and that is Nintendo is the greatest and most successful company now and forever? /s

@JustMonika The Switch is the first Nintendo hardware I've bought since the Nintendo 64 in the 90's

Holy cow, you missed out on many great games between the GBA, DS, 3DS, Gamecube, Wii and Wii U. Well, I guess you get many of the Wii U games on the Switch but not all.

@B_Lindz They have a REALLY good thing going right now.

They had a good thing going with the Wii so they released a follow-up to the Wii that could do everything a Wii could and more. What went wrong?

@Teksetter I'm sure Nintendo understands there will be hell to pay if their next console does not have backwards compatibility with the Switch.

I'm sure that Nintendo knows there will be hell to pay if they overcharge for the N64 games and the emulation is bad. That is why Nintendo didn't overcharge and the emulation is perfect. /s

Remember that time Nintendo released a hybrid that wasn't backward compatible with any previous console or handheld and then they got people to buy the games from previous gens again for $60 each. LOL...good times.

@Munchlax I would say that you should atleast wait until release to get a full review from other players (not the corporate reviewers) before determining it's just a direct Diamond/Pearl port.

@Munchlax When did you play it?

They thought they could duplicate the success of the Wii with the Wii U. The Wii U had everything that the Wii did and then some but people were tired of motion controls at that point.

They made the Wii U look similar to the Wii and focused on the Gamepad on the box leading some people to believe it was just another iteration of the Wii with a different controller. Reusing the name didn't help with the confusion either.

If they try to capture the Switch lightning in a bottle two gens in a row, it will fail too. The hybrid concept is not new anymore and it's compromises become more apparent as time goes on as the competition brings much more powerful hardware making it hard to port games down to the Switch or it's successor.

@RupeeClock ...and these are just straight ports of the DS games, with no improvements? Did they atleast speed the games up?

@Munchlax Improved on Dp, but it makes no sense to use them as the base when a superior version already exists.

They did this with the remakes of Gold and Silver and Ruby and Sapphire. They didn't remake Crystal and Emerald so why would you expect them to remake the third game now? Were you just not aware that they are being consistent here?

@Munchlax Gyms have their inferior DPPT teams

What does DPPT mean?

I really hate the overuse of acronyms or to say this in a more annoying way: IRHTOOA!!

Edit: I looked it up, it means Diamond/Pearl/Platinum. Not really hard to type that out.

Why would I care if some people got the game early, good for them I say.

@doodlewhizz To anyone thinking this is just a nostalgia driven made for TV- quality film chucked onto a subscription service for the sole purpose of QUANTITY, you're absolutely correct. Prepare for a lot of 'tech bad, family good' messaging.

You've already seen it?

I got one on the first restock, it comes in today. They should have limited them to one per account initially. That would have gone a long way to slowing down scalpers.

@Don Any chance of Gamecube games being added to NSO in the next year?

No, they don't add new systems that quickly, every new system has been added in September or October.

Please stop asking until next September.

Anything can be compared to overpriced coffee. For example, you could say 'gas isn't that expensive, a gallon is cheaper than a cup of coffee a day'.

Stardew Valley's Creator Won't Release His New Game Until He's "Personally Satisfied

...and I won't leave the bathroom until I am sure my hands are clean. Can I get an article too?

I don't understand the goal of this game. To collect 30 fruit and move on to the next level? To collect only melons or only lucky fruits? To unlock all the levels just to collect more fruits?

I am just not getting it.

The thing that makes Mario 64 superior to all the other 3D Mario games is that you can go into a level and quickly get a star for atleast half of the game. The pace is just better and it makes for a more enjoyable experience. You don't even need to take advantage of shortcuts to quickly grab a star even though there are plenty of shortcuts. You can beat the game in a matter of hours if you want to.

@Ralizah Going from NoA to KFC is a hell of a career shift!

I think Reggie went from Pizza Hut to Nintendo.

@SpaceEcho Zelda II needs no fixing. Ocarina needs a remaster.

Get a 3DS.

@FernandoMachado That's true, they should do that too.

@FernandoMachado I got one on a resupply a few days ago, blame scalpers, not Nintendo. The only thing more that they could have done is restrict the number bought from 4 to 1 for a few months.

Hopefully, that doesn't mean we'll all be complaining about it going all limp and floppy in a few years. Oo-er!

If it only lasts a few years, it will still be better than the Joy Cons.

When you want to make your authentic SNES look like a clone. Not sure why anyone would want to do that though.

Transparent SNES is ugly.

I am not understanding, can’t you just remap buttons in an emulator on PC?

Well, I am glad the DLC is worthless.

Heads up! N64 controllers back in stock, I just purchased one.

I think Ocarina of Time looks great. I just bought my shield so I am not far in but I am liking how it looks so far.

@MS7000 I wonder how many would subscribe if online play is all you get.
