It's a shame there's no switch 2 announcement because you know any new Pokémon game announcements will be current gen. And let's be honest, they've done all they can with this gen.
@SwagaliciousJohnson Why would they do that when they can make us pay? Especially when there are those of us that recently purchased all of the games because they shut down the 3DS servers.
Given the rumoured specs, it sounds more like a switch pro than a switch 2. If true then the thing is as fast as a PS3, so it's not a huge improvement.
Bobby Kotick, the guy who presided over a company culture where crimes against women were conducted with impunity. He should have stepped down a long time ago.
The game is made for ten year olds at the end of the day, which is why Game Freak doesn't care less about the performance. After all, why waste time on it when little jimmy will be begging mommy for it anyway?
Where is a new Conker's Bad Fur day? That's all I want to know. But you know they are probably too much of a bunch of PC pussy cats to do something like that now.
TOTK is good but Baldur's gate 3 is definitely GOTY. Some of the other options are laughable though. I love how Blizzard is calling Diablo 4 a GOTY contender, for example. It's trash.
I for one thought MK on switch was trash. I mean, it's an okay game. But there's nothing to do. I want a game with unlockable characters, maps and cups. Unlocking the different parts for your cart is pointless unless you want to compete online too. Something along the lines of diddy kong racing, I think, would be much better. A nice openish world where you can go around at will and unlock new maps and secrets: with bosses to boot. And perhaps even different kart types, I'll love the DKR planes forever <3
Before Pokemon, JP was my favourite thing as a kid. So I had to drop for the physical edition. I'm most excited for the Mega Drive games though. They're all kind of trash when you play them on an emulator now, but I still like them for the IP and nostalgia. I hope they do a Lost World collection next because I'll be on that.
Really loved this game as a kid. I still have my N64 but I lost all the games, so recently cleaned it up, got a CRT and began collecting them again. This gem is one of the ones I still need.
Got back into Minecraft recently as a lot of good mods are there for the newest updates, like Create and Farmer's delight, and I'm absolutely loving it. In my view, it's the best it has ever been.
They seem to release these sets at breakneck speed. I can spend thousands and still not have all the cards in a set. It's quite ridiculous really. And as for 151, I haven't even seen them in the shops because they are always sold out: apart from the poster boxes which are a huge ripoff so nobody buys them.
Christmas will come early. I already like this more than Pokémon S/V due to the cake land alone. Looks like it from the footage that it has similar performance issues too, but that's never stopped this monster wrangler // Pokémon trainer.
Wow. So since third gen we have been able to seamlessly move pokemon throughout each subsequent generation. But they are now going to ruin everything before the Switch at some unspecified point? What a load of trash. Shame on Nintendo!
In the age of webshops and digital downloads it really is anti-consumer to not include backwards compatibility. There should be an emulator and if you paid for it, then you can just run it in the new console via the emulator using a digital download. Then sure, charge for a patch to upgrade it to the new hardware.
As a software engineer, one has to wonder how a regression bug cropped up in the final battle due to patch changes targeting the dlc. Is their code base a bowl of spaghetti?
@Mauzuri Why should the raids be dumbed down for everyone else because some people can't solo them? They are already easy. You can solo almost everything.
I live in Amsterdam and this is depressing. I want to go there and see the exhibit and get a card and buy some merch, but I do not want to see this vultures engaging in their wanton scavenging. I bet they do not even turn up to see the exhibition. I will be so upset if I go and everything is gone...

How about a 3DS emulator with HGSS for NSO (one can dream)

So Switch 2 was just a rumour then...
Re: Minecraft Movie Reportedly Casts Jack Black As Steve
Oh yeah, bring it on!
Re: Feature: Nintendo Switch Ports We'd Love To See In 2024
Baldur's Gate would melt the switch. The console simply cannot do it.

@iLikeUrAttitude I play in handheld and it works fine. Probably you're playing it docked?

Re: GTA 6 On 'Switch 2' Would Be "Very Tricky To Pull Off", Says Digital Foundry
Definitive way to play GTA is on PC anyway, the console versions are trash because they have poor graphics and constrained shooting mechanics.

Whoa a sega bomb. Who was expecting that? Epic!
Re: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Makes The Final 5 Of "Players' Voice" At The Game Awards
TOTK was good, but Baldur's Gate 3 was a lot better. Both games deserve to win though.

What's up with that chunky boi sonic model? Looks like a bad fan art.

Re: The First Review For Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince Is In
@Expa0 Yeah you can tell from the trailers it's going for that Scarlet // Violet performance benchmark.
Re: The First Review For Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince Is In
DQM looks amazing. It has cake land for goodness sake, give it game of the year. I am hyped to get back from work to play it.
Re: Xbox Reiterates Interest In Bringing Game Pass To "Every Screen" Including Nintendo Platforms
@AG_Awesome The master chief collection is super cheap on Steam. Especially if you wait for a sale. I'd recommend it.

Re: Poll: Which Of Rare's Classic N64 Games Would You Like To See On Switch Online?
Coker's the best game on the N64 for me. I'm glad I have the physical edition because I doubt it'll come to Switch online.

Re: Surprise! Nintendo Is Officially Working On A Live-Action Legend Of Zelda Movie
Is it going to be the original Mario movie all over again...?
Re: Jurassic Park: Classic Games Collection Launches Later This Month On Switch
Hype. I preordered the physical edition as soon as it was available. Can't wait for it to arrive! Now they just need to do a Lost World collection!
Re: Round Up: The Previews Are In For Super Mario RPG (Switch)
Is there much new content though?
Re: Sonic's New 3D Action-Platformer Is Exclusive To Apple Arcade
Apple is overpriced garbage. Even if this looks great, I'll never waste my money on a bad PC or mobile phone that costs a premium just for the brand.
Re: Pokémon Scarlet & Violet's Next 7-Star Tera Raid Battle Event Kicks Off This Weekend
@GoodVibesGamingfan I love Pokemon but there are teenagers building better games in Unreal engine than whatever Game Freak can muster.
Re: Pokémon Scarlet & Violet's Next 7-Star Tera Raid Battle Event Kicks Off This Weekend
@sanderev I'll eat my hat if they do that. It's never going to happen. They'd rather milk it for all it's worth in the short term.
Re: Nintendo Takes Action Against Super Mario Bros. Wonder Mod Videos Featuring "Swearing Flowers"
@TanookiLeaf Why is it annoying? If you don't like it, don't use the mod or pay attention to it. It's that simple.
Re: Rollercoaster Tycoon Adventures Deluxe Speeds Onto Switch Next Month
@TheBoilerman Thanks, but you don't always get physical copies where I live when you do elsewhere. So I end up having to import or forgo it :/
Re: Rollercoaster Tycoon Adventures Deluxe Speeds Onto Switch Next Month
Looks great, I'll buy it if there's a physical edition.
Re: The First Review For Super Mario Bros. Wonder Is In
I wasn't interested in this at first, but after seeing more of the game I thought the multiplayer looked like a lot of fun.
Re: The First Review For Super Mario Bros. Wonder Is In

It looks like it has enough gameplay for a 15 Euro game.
