Looks like they fixed a lot of the problems people had with Mario Party ever since they introduced that terrible car, all we need are good boards and mini games and we should be set to have one of the best Mario Partys in a very long time
@Toadie Because it is the 3rd year anniversary of Fallout Shelter, and they decided to celebrate the game's success over the years by porting it to PS4 and Switch. That's why.
Also, on the topic of potential Fallout ports, I don't think they would bring Vegas or 3 over, if anything they would have 4 I'm guessing, but even that is a bit of a long shot. I'm completely opened to being surprised though by Bethesda.
From the sounds of it, the joy con are essentially using gyro for aiming similar to Splatoon, which for most should be a relief. This will still be pretty awkward though in traditional handheld mode.
I personally prefer Pikachu since he can get the light ball, and he is somewhat decent in the later game if you never evolve him (In XY I had a Pikachu that i carried on my main team up till about Level 82 or so, and he still was a decent asset).
Plus, I just find the idea of having Pikachu perched up on my shoulder as I run around more entertaining and exciting rather than have Eevee awkwardly sit on my hat.
I'm perfectly fine with Let's Go appealing to a more casual fanbase, and honestly, it will get enough new comers in from Go or elsewhere that should help make the series change for the better. All I want is for the Go mechanics to not carry over to Gen 8 though, I'm fine with it being optional, like how the Ultra Wormhole in USUM having motion controls was optional, but I don't want some of these new features to be invasive.
@darkswabber Wait, whoa whoa whoa, excuse me if I read your post wrong, but TT Games might be making a Lego Overwatch game? How on earth will that work? I'll admit, I'm very intrigued.
I'll be waiting for the inevitable special editions, whether it only bundles the Pokeball Plus or those Pokeball joycon, or if it's just some fun bonuses.
I honestly don’t understand all the interest and hype behind this wedding, is it because they’re essentially celebrities in the UK? And why on earth are so many people around the world so excited for something so miniscule to that scale, all the royal family from my knowledge can theoretically do is add their 2 cents into situations like anyone else. So this wedding shouldn’t be doing anything on a grand scale right?
I really don’t want this to be true, I suppose I can understand from a marketing/sales perspective on why they should start off the Switch generation with a throwback to Gen 1, but as a long tome fan, that’s the last thing I want. I want to go to a new region and discover new Pokemon and the secrets of the region, not travel back to Kanto. I really am hoping for this to not be true.
This makes me worry a bit, I really don't want to see Retro go down and deal with issues like with what is potentially going down, and if all they have going for themselves right now is a Star Fox racing spin off that is kind of concerning.
What I don't understand is why their ultimate goal is to make the Switch essentially non-existant in the US, PR stunt or not, it seems like they'll never be able to do it, and if they pull it off they'll probably screwed over their company even more since now they'll have potentially millions of Nintendo fans hating them.
I'm assuming when Miitomo's service shuts down soon, that they're going to remove support for the custom Miis on My Nintendo with special clothing like ninja suits, Samus' helmet, Link's wig, etc. It's going to be a shame to see it go because that was my main draw to it so I could make my mii look completely how I wanted to.
Perhaps this could be a concept for a potential upgraded Switch? Heck, maybe even a 1DS if Nintendo decides to actually continue with that line of systems, even though it'd be kind of odd considering the Switch being in the spotlight right now and such.
The vibe I'm kind of getting from this based on the fact it shows the Pokedex from Sun and Moon and mentions these "cards" is that is they are in fact amiibo Pokemon Cards, and that they would mostly only unlock an entry in the Pokedex.
Personally though, I don't want amiibo to be integrated into the main-line games for the sake of the series and my wallet.
Part of the problem I have with when Pokemon releases is because of how close it is to Smash, we're going to be getting two heavy hitters in a period of max ~6 months if Pokemon Switch gets delayed to Spring 2019. I've heard rumors and "leaks" that Smash Switch is supposed to be coming around September, granted I don't know how trustworthy these statements are, so I take it with a grain of salt, but it would make the most sense to release Smash in September, and Pokemon in December to space them out as much as possible for 2018 releases.
@Camilla @MoonKnight7 I'm fully aware that this should undoubtedly be the 8th generation, my original comment was mostly stating that I don't want an artificial extension of Gen 7 to the Switch with "Stars".
I will be beyond disapointed if Pokemon Switch ends up being Stars. I have no idea why people are still pushing the idea of it after it clearly wasn’t happening when Ultra Sun/Moon came out.
Just give us a new Gen, that is all I want honestly.
Welp. I hope the Russian Switch players will be able to play again, but this looks like it's going to stay the way it is for at least a very long time.
I’ve become in love with this series and I can’t wait to hear more from this game, but the fact that it will be launching most likely fairly close to Smash Bros will probably have me put this one off a little.
I'm really excited to see we're actually gonna get a Pokemon section in the Universal Studios section of the park! I don't believe the article stated this, but it was also mentioned that the now larger Mario and Donkey Kong areas will be located in the 4th Universal park which is estimated for a 2023 opening date. So now we gotta wait for some of the classic Nintendo goodness but this is probably for the best.
I've heard a lot of good things about this game, but haven't tried it myself. The concept behind it with the dinosaurs and such definitely has be intrigued so I am for sure keeping an eye on this.
I've been really intrigued by the concept and style of the game, and I was surprised to see it not get some sort of update yesterday in the Nindie showcase, but at least the developers confirmed they are in fact still working on it.
His arms are definitely a bit long, but I am still excited to mess around with him regardless, if anything he'll be a good joke character where me and my friends make fun of his model the whole time.
Also, what's up with the extra space? I'm sensing a 3rd DLC soon... Perhaps Zeraora (An unreleased mythical pokemon for Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon), it could make sense since it hasn't been officially revealed yet.

Re: Poll: Who Would You Rather Have By Your Side In Pokémon Let's Go? Pikachu Or Eevee?
