The last update messes up my daughter's and my game. In my game I have issues connecting the Go Plus, I get periodically a "Pokemon Go has stopped working." error message when trying to link my Plus.
As for my daughter, is even worse. Her GPS is now all messed up to the point that her character is shown up to three blocks away from our location and the character is constantly running around which makes it nearly impossible to battle Gyms and collect items in Pokestops.
I'm standing right now outside my local GS waiting to open and I see people that brought their entire famly and have them stand in line in different spots to buy various consoles at once. I'm willing to bet their multiple purchases are going straight to eBay. The saddest thing is that their using their kids with the pretence their getting one too.
Wow, that was quick. The Switch is not even out yet and CAPCOM is already "...researchingthe viability of... ports on Switch..."!! Well, looks like we'll be having another Nintendo console with little to no third party support because Nintendo refuses to give in to the status quo.
It's too bad because developers fail to see that without Nintendo the industry would be stagnated and maybe even dead.
The opening paragraph of the article is unfare because, even though the XBOX One has 500GB to 2TB of storage, you can't play any games without installing it first! My One has 500GB and after only 5 retail games and a hand full of minor indie and 360 games, it is 96% full! I save 99% of my games, if I ever want to play any new games I would have to uninstall the games installed in favor of any new ones.
My son has the 2TB model and that one came with about 450GB of preloaded software!!!!! So XBOX One, and perhaps the PS4, ALSO count on gamers to buy external storage!!
@hYdeks The 128GB mini SD card limit is not a big deal since it can be changed with a System Update. I remember the Wii originally supported only 2GB SD cards in the beginning, but with a System Update later on it supported up to 32GB SD cards.
I'm really sad about the loss of the double-screen gaming. We know that if the Switch becomes a hit in the first 2-3 years of life, then the 3DS will be next.
If this change is intentional then my kids' and I versions of Pokemon Go are buggy because we still can play the game going around 60 mph. They play it on their phones and I get notifications via Go Plus.
Well, idk if anyone will read my comment by now. But if anyone is to blame I say is NintendoLife. According to NL, AM2R is being going on for years and only until now it got shut down? I bet you it was because all the attention NL gave it in form of several articles. Way to go NL!!
As many has stated, Nintendo has acknowledged the VB many times before. Which brings me to ask the question, what's going on lately here at NintendoLife with the misleading/sensasionalist headlines? Why do they have to do such yellow-press practices? Is not like this site is in need of traffic. I hope the this isn't a sign of the quality of reporting deteriorating for this place.
I never cared for SM64DS because of the character-specific levels/areas. That's why I never got into DK64. Is just annoying having to revisit levels 4,5,6 times to get everything and even to progress in the game.
It is obvious that Nintendo doesn't mind games that are created on their IP's image as a homage. What Nintendo minds is when people blatantly use the IP to remake games Nintendo has already created.
I liked mainly the first DKC. I never got into the other two. I loved also the Super Gameboy adapter. It was so cool to be able to play my GB game collection on the big screen. 😃
@Grandpa_Pixel I believe so. I never attended a game since I live in California, but I remember the press release back then that you could order food and also see the players and game stats on your DS. It was a really cool feature.
Wind Waker was my least favorite in terms or character design for toon link and the population in general. The bosses were amazing. So to me these guys are mostly inconsequential save the fact that they put this game after Wind Waker in terms of story line.
I cant wait to see its placement in the timeline because I love having marathon gameplay every time a new console Zelda gets release.
@Gentlegamer Well, that would depend on how much effort a developer would like to put in developing a game. Do Splinter Cell:BL, AC:IV, NFS:MW, Bayonetta, and other games look just like their 360 counterparts? Not really.
There is improvement when the developer takes the time to take advantage of each unique console. Based on the preliminary list of features, it seems to me that THQNordic is trying to make a proper remaster of Darksiders on Wii U.
I'm sorry but I've said it before and I'll say it again: there is NO wrong in Nintendo, or any developer for that matter, in wanting to "control" their IPs and limit the creation of fan-made alternatives/companion software. Pokemon BELONGS to Nintendo and the Pokemon Company, not to the "fans".
Even as a youtuber, I don't care about not making money of any of the videos I post, I do it out of love to Nintendo, not to capitalize on their IPs.
It would be nice for Red Steel 3 and a remake of the original. I think the original RS had a really good story and and the setting was rather good. Too bad it was buggy as heck.
Is sad that common sense is non-existent in a lot of people. Here in the U.S. a woman claimed she would take legal action because (i don't remember if it was her or her daughter) the game made her cross the freeway in search of a Pokemon.
I'm waiting for the first ludicrous lawsuit to pop up.
@A01 @TreonsRealm @HydroTendonMan @hieveryone AND everyone who still complaint about the Wii U version touchscreen functionality. The game DOES have touchscreen functionality! Not in the way of a dedicated menu, but you CAN do a lot on the touchscreen like select items, craft, navigate menus, and more. What you CAN'T do is click and drag items, which in turn makes Classic Crafting unstable on the touchscreen.
Apparently you haven't heard of Pokemon Go, haven't you? 30 million people of all ages have. You should try it, is rather addictive and is a Nintendo game. Besides, it seems you're taking this whole thing about a Nintendo theme back giving Disney a run for their money as if I was saying Nintendo will dethrone Disney. Disney can't be dethroned, is just a behemoth of a brand. The only thing killing the Disney brand is Disney itself (they almost did in the late 90's when there were strong rumors of the company going chapter 11 due to economic struggle). But what I'm saying overall is that Nintendo has enough power to have a theme park in California and still succeed in Disneyland's own backyard. Universal Studios and Knott's Berry Farm are doing it, so I don't see why Nintendo can't do it.
@Nintendoforlife By whom? By the people that answered the statistical survey that came out by the results. Also, have you ever been to Disneyland, Six Flags, or any amusement park for that matter? There is a great number of young adults, and midlife adults on their own in amusement parks, without any children because amusement parks now have amenities that cater to such demographics.
@CrazyOtto Idk about that since I'm not into roller coasters. I like them and ride them but I can love without them. I rather go to Disneyland any day than Six Flags.
@jwfurness That's funny. I actually like to unwind from long extended drives (4+ hours) by playing NFS:MWU when I return home because it allows me to do in a safe fictional setting what I can't do in real life: race through the 101 freeway, LoL!
I believe it. I've always said that I was able to get my license with only a week of driving school because I had been playing racing games for almost 10 years. Racing games is my favorite genre overall.
My daughter told me about this yesterday. I am going to try this as soon as I get an Eevee with decent CP points. All the Eevees I have are CP100 or less.
@CrazyOtto Yeah, that's a bummer that the Florida parks get preference. They have so much open real state there. Both the California parks (Universal Studios and Disneyland) have to tear down stuff before remodeling/building because there isn't much open real state for them to expand anymore. 😞
@Nintendoforlife And you my friend understimate the power of Nintendo. Did you know that the most recognized mascot in the world is not Mickey but Mario?
Let's not forget that Super Mario, Zelda, and Pokemon and the biggest and most popular franchises in gaming. So I'm sure a Nintendo theme park in the US would give Disneyland and Disneyworld a run for their money.
This was such a smart move for Nintendo because it gives a simplified version of Pokemon for the "blue ocean" population and leaves the full RPG experience for 3DS/future handhelds.
As to whether or not this is a fad that will wear off and pop, we gotta remember, this is Pokemon we're talking about. Not digimon, tamagachi, or any new franchise trying to establish itself. Pokemon has 20 years under its belt with nearly yearly main game releases and a number of spin-off games. This is a behemoth of a franchise that, if Pokemon Go ends up been a fad, it'll be a fad that will last for as long as they are casual mobile gamers.
AC:III, AC:IV, Splinter Cell Blacklist, Zombi U, Watch_Dogs, Rayman Legends, etc. How quickly people forgets that Ubisoft has being probably the biggest Wii U third-party supporter. Let's hope the jump back on the support with the NX. I wanna play Watch_Dogs 2
@MrWarner14 I completely agree. I feel the same way and that's why I don't buy, at least at full price, online-only games. I was going to buy this game at the end of the month but now for sure I won't.
I'm sooo glad Link remains voiceless. As Aonuma stated, I would not have the same connection with Link that I've had with him for the past 20 years if he had been voiced.
Wow, I remember when I played for the first time the demo kiosk at Wal-Mart right before the launch of the N64. It was a promotional kiosk installed to build hype for the system. I was amazed but at the same time I felt that gaming was getting "too far" with real 3D worlds. My old-school 2D gaming mentality would no allow me to fully embrace it at first. Now, I can't go back to sidescrolling gaming. As for SM64, is my second favorite console game after OoT. 😁
@Octane Thats exactly what I thought. They mean to tell me that the hacker would've access the developer tool menu or the system's main menu without a single Nintendo usher noticing while standing right next to the hacker in order to see if heshe required any assistance with the game!?!?
BESIDES, E3 is an event for industry and press ONLY! Public in general doesn't have access and the last time I checked, even if one were to gain access by having borrowed someone's press/industry credentials, the tickets are about $500+ for the entire week. So no.
@Morph In sure if one individual/partners were to own 70% of a company's stock they could easily outbid/out do any public offering or takeover attempt by the party holding only 30%.
@DoctorOverbuild Perhaps the sales were not there to warrant the development of the DLC. Sadly, a lot of developers do that. Wii U owners didn't get all the Batman origins season pass (Nintendo issued refunds although idk if it was them or WB who forked out the money), or do you remember that no console got the remainding DLC for LEGO The Hobbit?
As long as nobody gets charged for an unfinished product, there's nothing that can be done about such "unfulfilled promises".

Re: Rumour: Nintendo Switch Will Support Micro SDXC Cards Up To 128GB In Capacity

Re: New Pokémon GO Update Appears To Disable Spawns And Sightings When Travelling At High Speed

Re: Pokémon GO Plus Has Just Received an Update
