Response like @tonyp1987 are weird to me. Nintendo is under 0% obligation to release their products on devices not owned by them.

It's an exclusive, that's the way it works.

I've seen that "What Happened?" video on L.A. Noire. Yikes to any poor soul that has to work under McNamara.

Despacito and Shape Of You were the big hits when the Switch was released and The Chainsmokers still had a career.

That's how long ago it was.

His YouTube channel is/was amazing and explains things in a very clear precise way. Even I learned something.

Congratulations.

Virtual Console is dead. Get over it.

I'm very happy I don't have to buy the same games I had on WiiU, Wii, 3DS etc yet again.

I pulled the M.C. Escher-esque immersive Palkia card yesterday.

Very very happy!

The fact if it wasn't for Monster Hunter 8 Deluxe would probably be #1 is hilarious.

Should be a "neither" option.

@BANJO Nintendo is anything but stupid, they'll never comment because they are too old fashioned and diplomatic to say anything publicly.

I'm sure they have their own internal numbers on how much each game is played, looked at that and said, nope.

@MaxPlastic the company that pulled new bigger sales numbers magically out of their ass when it's title was being threatened is petty?

Never! 😉

If the fairy-ness is confirmed then it's time for Chickorita to rise!

@N00BiSH yes. But take that up with Spike Chunsoft, not Nintendo.

As soon as I read the headline I knew it wouldn't be a Nintendo owned game.

Hmm. I wonder if the deal to have it on NSO was up for renewal and Spike Chunsoft upped the price?

So are they keeping all the lines?

Cause stuff like "Hey! I feel like I'm trapped in Boy George's pants" and "This place smells like ducks" in the Kung Fu level ain't gonna fly today.

@Dr_Lugae I 100% agree but people just enjoy being on the hate bandwagon way too much to be honest about things.

@squidduforeal

Cause it's the cool thing to do, to dunk on Pokemon.

Some people can't get over the fact the series will always be "baby's first RPG" and will never change from that format.

This is a game made for OG Switch. I honestly don't know if it candle handle what they are trying to do with the new battle system.

I honestly thought it would be mid year. Late 2025 was a surprise to me. Hopefully that extra time will help but I doubt it.

It's a good idea that you can take Pokemon from Go.

Sony basically handed Nintendo the Japanese market on a silver platter.

They certainly aren't rivals anymore.

I think I ordered this more than a year ago? 😆

They appeal to totally different audiences.

The only place where they think the Steam Deck is a competitor is like r/gaming where the delusions are already at a high.

Completely agree about them mostly being garish.

A lot of the Disney Loungefly products are awful.

This is a great example why a lot of things will never come to NSO.

A lot of WB's troubles can be put on AT & T's shoulders.

Basically they brought them realised they weren't gonna make as much $$$ as they thought they would because WB already had debts, so they saddled them with their own debts and sold them on.

Last time I checked it was like over $50 billion in debt.

Including non-Nintendo games, sure.

Why are they using Tony Hawk's waxwork?

This is actually a good thing.

At the store I work at basically no cards make it to the floor for kids to buy. Everything is swallowed up by pre-orders or online orders.

We have put limits on how much per order but that doesn't stop people making multiple orders/purchases.

Doesn't matter if it's the best racing game even created. It will always be in Mario Kart's shadow.

Those two European kids and the Bear or is It a Tanuki ??? Need more exercise if it takes 3 of them to reel in 1 fish.

Back in the day not even my girlfriend's uncle, who was regional manager for two states of Australia (more than 30 stores) knew what the price of the next Harry Potter book would be, let alone the name, until very very close to release.

Nintendo loves embargoes too. Anyone willing to leak stuff can easily say bye bye to their job if they did.

This screams of desperation. In this stage of it's life Magic should be able to stand on it's own two feet without crossovers

Wow. A Jumpluff. How generous. Nobody has one of them.

The general everyday Nintendo player probably doesn't even know Earthbound exists.

Let it go.

A pity I don't trust Activision to not f*ck this up.

I have a friend who works for Lego in Asia & Oceania. She wouldn't go into details but said the money that Lego had to pay in order to get Nintendo products was even higher than Disney and they have far more different IP's.

I think my older brother watched this.

The older games are never coming to NSO. As much as people like to think Nintendo 100% owns Pokémon by themselves, they don't.

Loved Pokémon Concierge, glad a 2nd series is coming.

Still can't believe they couldn't get anyone better than the director of the Maze Runner crap for Zelda.

Cool. Might get this now.

The game's looking good. Great video.

This is Kotaku level nitpicking and complaining.

Pokémon as a brand is more than just the mainline games and Pokémon Presents have always been full of less engaging stuff.

Can't wait, so excited!

How shoddy. Kinda wish someone would sue them. They totally deserve it.

Weird the gaming side of the company is worth that much when they don't own any of the things that actually make the money.

The Pokémon.

Who's this "us" exactly? I wouldn't want that.

If the Switch becomes more expensive in the USA because of Trump, well... If you choose to go to a circus you're gonna get clowns.

Okay? Who really cares at the end of the day.

The huge rumble pack signage ruins the US/EU version.

End of discussion.
