Game Freak so proud of being able to accomplish what has existed for decades.

Former Mario Kart Devs: We'll make our own Racing Game!

With lolis riding other lolis!

So for defeating the "ultimate boss" of Pokemon GO you get 12 Max Revives and the opportunity to catch a Gen 1 Legendary Bird, which is fairly common from weekly quest rewards?

Pokken Tournament: Am I a joke to you?

I can understand the eyes not being joined together, because if they are animating the eyes in HD in 3D, they want to be able to have the orbs of the eyes look like they're moving, while of course in a 2D animation of Sonic, or in less detail, you can't see that shine in the eyes anyway, so you can just have the pupils more around and it looks fine.

That said, they at least made the part where Sonic's eyes normally join a light color to simulate the joined area.

Well, he actually looks like Sonic instead of some weird monstrosity.

I have to wonder what movie executive green lit the original design and thought that's what people wanted.

It shows how little Hollywood has any idea of what's really good and bad.

Gardevoir made the commercial!

But Gardevoir didn't receive any meaningful buffs to compensate for losing it's Mega.

While Gengar got Nasty Plot.

Of course this review comes out on a Monday.

The worse day for Garfield.

"We encourage people to use Pokémon Home to collect their Pokémon from old games"

While harassing people may not be good, you cannot be a public figure and expect only, nice, supportive comments from people as a whole, especially when you're involved with something that has made people upset.

That's completely ridiculous.

That said, there have been cases in the past where angry people have harassed people who are not actually responsible for why they were upset.

Although it was already pretty obvious why she was left out, the Japanese broadcast at least confirms the team wanted to keep the Switch entry within the lowest age rating

DLC cannot raise a game's age rating, DLC and the base game have different age ratings, and do not effect each other.

This is one of the reasons why games always have the warning that online content cannot be guaranteed to keep to the age rating on the base game.

That said, Nintendo wanted to keep Mai out to keep the image they want for the game intact.

Although for comedy's sake, someone made a "Smash Safe" version of Mai.

I don't know if this is something that's okay with horror fans, but I have an issue with how the Corpse Party series always has all bad endings simply because it's a horror game. To me, it makes the "game" part meaningless, as you can't win based on your decisions, you can only lose in different ways.

Yeah but where's Female Terry.

This is not confirmed, but according to some leaks, the Nature Changing Mints are post game Battle Tower Rewards (from a BP shop), and Hyper Training still needs level 100 Pokemon and Bottle Caps.

If true, nothing has really changed, since at that point breeding for Nature and IVs will likely be faster than raising a Pokemon to level 100 and also grinding the Battle Tower.

The obvious plan Blizzard had that everyone already knows is to pile on the big announcements at Blizzcon to silence any complaints about their behavior in relation to pandering to China, which in large part worked for the people who were attending Blizzcon.

Overwatch "2" isn't ready to be shown, it probably has nothing to show, they just needed lots of announcements to drown out criticism.

This is already what I expected since the Japanese trailer was the same, and Nintendo's new policy of "sending the western censors right to the Japanese development studios".

This is technically the best business decision if they want their games censored for the west (even if I personally disagree with censoring the developers), because if the Japanese version is the same, nobody knows what was changed.

The problem with this game is, it came out on the Wii U before they implemented the policy, so people already know what's been censored, and I doubt the Japanese players care that much, since they have the uncensored original version already on the Wii U.

This Kanto remake is looking great!

Kind of odd for them to release another Kanto remake right after Let's GO Eevee and Pikachu though.

People won't give you candy wearing that, they'll just scream and shut the door.

I can't it right now, but I saw a hilarious picture where EA had forgotten to change the year of the game in the stands and it still had last year's number on it.

Here's the short version.

People who don't like it think the controls are poorly thought out, the game should be in landscape mode so you can see better, and the monetization is far, far too aggressive with both loot boxes and a subscription service that both makes the game less grindy, and allows you to play the most fun mode (which is still only AIs).

There is also the problem that if Nintendo actually succeeds at selling a subscription service within a F2P game, you can imagine tons of other F2P games will follow suite.

Is there a mechanic where if you're playing the game on Monday, Garfield can only get trash items?

Farfetch'd finally has an evolution.

It's a regional Pokemon and is going to lose the evolution next Gen.

It's exclusive move is a variant of Hyper Beam, of of the worst types of moves in the game.

I don't see why it was changed.

The point is she was abused.

Who exactly was offended by it before, and is okay with it now?

*Catches Legendary and wants to check Nature and IVs before saving.

*Autosaves.

Old Blizzard basically doesn't exist anymore, it's just a division of Activision now.

So say it like it is, "The Future's Bright For Activision Blizzard and Nintendo".

Sony considers games published by Arc System Works above the "niche" category and thus does not enforce censorship on them.

By the way, for people who don't know anything about Kill la Kill, while the protagonist is female, the men show off their bodies and get naked as often as the girls.

It's a pinball game with a girl on the table wearing animal costumes and a silly story.

That's all you really needed to say.

You can figure out if this game is for you or not from watching some game play from it.

It's a pinball game. Do you like pinball?

The models and animations are the same ones being used since Gen 6. It's not really a question.

In addition, it's quite standard practice to have these things made high quality, then down scaled to run properly with the hardware.

Part of the backlash is many fans are well aware the explanation given for the dex cut isn't believable.

I've said so before though, the real problem is despite the cut, the game doesn't really seem significantly improved from past entries, it kind of looks the same, upscaled S/M with giant Pokemon (a by design disposable mechanic), and wild area.

You know how Atlus could make more money.

If they actually made most of their games multi-platform instead of almost none of them.

The entire point of porting games is to make money off of your existing work and not have to sell something made completely from scratch.

This is a PR "non-response" response.

I'll say again, I think the main issue is not the Pokemon being cut, but there seems to have been nothing gained in exchange,

It's funny how he would use the term "evolve" to describe the Pokemon games, because the games have always been a story of one step forward, 2 steps back, as they keep removing features people love, for the sake of making the games "different".

If there was a huge leap in other areas of the game, people would be more understanding of something like cutting Pokemon. But there wasn't. It looks like upscaled Sun/Moon with Wild Area and Giant Pokemon (a by design throwaway gimmick most people don't care about).

Yet the game now costs more, for less content then before.

Yeah but, how's the gatcha system going to work?

I'm not really a fan of them using then Gen 1 anime art style for everyone.

Gardevoir is rank 8, heck yeah.

I don't think the real issue is that Pokemon were cut, it's that nothing was really gained in exchange.

The game looks the same as ever, no significant or impressive improvements were made anywhere.

Sword/Shield looks like upscaled Sun/Moon with giant Pokemon and the wild area.

So you're paying more money for less content.

Why would Microsoft have a problem with Nintendo advertising their (Microsoft) IP in Nintendo's game.

But the reason it happened at all is because right now Nintendo and Microsoft are working together to combat the current undisputed console war lead, Sony.

It only took them 8 years to localize it.

Boooooooooooooooooo!

Sword/Shield 1.5 Game

Actually, we got all the Pokemon in the game, buy it again for $60.

Atlus refusing to port their games is nothing new.

Still disappointing, but not surprising.

@RupeeClock

It's not paid or planned promotions Sega has ever had a problem with.

It's people playing their games in youtube without their express permission, with rules on what could and couldn't be said or done beforehand.

For example, there was youtuber who uploaded his Yakuza let's play on youtube, and Sega Japan gave him 3 copyright strikes in a row and took down his channel. Luckily, this guy had a friend who knew some people from Sega of America, who got the copyright strikes removed and his channel restored, and than gave him written permission to upload his let's play, but the guy was so shaken from the experience he never uploaded let's play content from Sega games again.

I've been waiting a very long time for a Lucina plush.

The magic of Animal Crossing dies once you start seeing the animals repeat the same thing another animal said.

At this point they don't feel alive anymore.

So there need to be a lot more possible conversation combinations.

Make the custom picture feature more detailed and allow people to just upload pictures instead of having to spend a few hours placing all the pixels themselves.

Allow for a visit random town feature. You can visit a random town, but when doing so you can't change anything in the town.

I'll wait for the audience and youtube reviews thanks.

The movie critics gave The Last Jedi 91%.

I'm supposed to trust their judgement?

Jim Carrey is fine.

Everything else is terrible.

Not Appealing To Gamers First?

Who is this movie appealing to exactly aside from people who want to see Jim Carrey playing the type of role he's famous for.

Why is Nobita farming normally at all instead of asking Doraemon for future tech and getting into crazy hijinks as a result.

For a long time consoles were straight banned in China. You couldn't "break into" it because they were illegal. The law was only lifted a few years ago.

It was a biased rule though, because it's mostly enforced on foreign console sales.

The fact that it has 4 fingers suggest to me that it's an original IP/character made by Retro Studios, since humanoid Japanese characters usually have 5 fingers, even robots, because 4 fingers in Japan is considered off putting (something to do with Yakuza cutting off fingers as punishment).

It makes sense since with the abandonment of the Wii U, Nintendo has decided to focus on selling to gamers again, instead of trying to sell to the non gaming market like with the Wii.

QoL was an extension of that, and Nintendo has given up on that (for now).

Although as I understand it, without a very high resolution screen, which the Switch does not have, the images will appear pixelated when you put the screen that close to your face.
