I was going to be seriously disappointed if this was that big scoop, I mean I already figured the reporter was grand standing, but still this would have been detrimental to my sense of intrigue.
I’ve even had drift in a Pro controller, and with that went years of faith in Nintendo hardware. I still trust their software to do what it’s supposed to, and be of top quality. Just sadly, no longer confident with them as a whole. In some defense, I’ve had issues with Sony and Microsoft this generation, those controllers were submitted to community use, so a bit rougher with more variables, but I’ve still been less than enamored with the industry as a whole when it comes to controllers.
I am unsure, I get most RPGs in physical format, but this is pretty small, I’ll probably download it. I regret not downloading Luigi’s Mansion some, even if I saved $10 getting physical.
The developers literally call this a communication game, it’s hardly in wonder they want you to live together and communicate. I think it’s a bit more telling that sharing is such an audacious move on their part, however, the restrictive nature of a lead player is a bit of a different story. Perhaps being able to re-elect the resident representative would be a nice touch. That way people can take turns taking the lead on the island.
I played Friends of Mineral Town so much that I’m kinda surprised I forgot it was a gba title. Probably going to get this, even tho I don’t love the screens, I get that they were trying to capture the spirit of the original. A little on the nose, as I think they could have pushed it a bit further. Almost wish they just used better sprites. Still excited.
I doubt it, but would be unfortunate if true, most of their games are homogenizing into a very similar template. Not always a bad thing, but is uninspired imo.
The longer the wait the more possible large scale disappointment may be over the content. Not speaking of myself really, just this happens every time Nintendo “takes too long.” Happens when they are timely too tho, so idk.
Still my favorite, potential most memorable PS2 game, I could not resist buying it again. Especially with Freestyle mode, which is a god send of an edition.
Happy for those excited for this direct, but this is a general disappointment for me. The game is close enough to release, and I’m going to get it either way.
I don’t know why they bothered with cloud saves sometimes, but it’s almost assuredly referring to dlc, not micro transactions. Tho, if they were to test the waters, it would probably be Animal Crossing.
They certainly love targeting that maximum price point, but with the mobile market they sure go for these mythical numbers, honestly who wants to pay ten bucks a month, for what is essentially nothing.
@gaga64 while that is unfortunate, it helps curve this trend of developers releasing games in broken, or incomplete states. I suppose word of mouth, and peer reviews would be there to save the day in this instance, as well as software discounts.
I am beyond amused by this, I mean I like the character, but it’s more about the ripple effect across the Internet. I love Fire Emblem, and I’m not surprised Nintendo does too. Tho this isn’t exciting enough to want to watch the whole Sakurai Presents.
What I did was rotate Pokémon all the time. I didn’t really narrow my team down til after I had all eight badges. I often brought disadvantageous Pokémon into gyms, usually with a safety net ace in my pocket.
Tl;dr I played the games story with roughly 18 different Pokémon, plus some flavor of the minute mon.
I wouldn’t have thought my respect could drop any lower for these types, but even after three years I still forget to consider the Trump angle, and just wow, how pathetic.
In truth, game freak is a B list developer with an A list property. The franchises success often over shadows that fact. I don’t much mind when this affects the presentation or performance, but it’s a bummer how much this tappers back their ambition. Such as their approach with the Wild Area, it’s role is to be the hot new piece of marketing, but they hampered it in hopes of gathering intel on their next game rather than taking big risks and strides in this game.
Ultimately I’m here to play Pokémon, and perhaps that is the route of the problem, either an apprehension to innovate that could alienate fans (tho recent controversy suggests that isn’t it) or the much more malignant laziness as the series will sell regardless.
It is better than I had hope, I mean I’m gonna continue to play on my One X, but the switch version is fun. It feels like Overwatch and that is pretty cool in my opinion. It’s worth playing.
@ClaytThaGreat I had an alright time honestly, I do need to get an Ethernet adapter though, but I will say I had to turn motion aiming off sadly. With the frame right, I felt the motion didn’t do any favors, and didn’t seem to work will with every hero anyway.
I think they’d be better off implementing immediate respawning like Celeste, and perhaps removing lives in one mode for causals, and implementing life stock for retro enthusiasts.
If I had a bunch of golden weapons I’d be concerned about cross saves, but I tired quickly of comp, as there is a lot of blame, and little objective play going on lol. Heard to many people melt down for nothing and throw winning games with their toxicity. Love me some quick play tho.

Re: FDG's DuckTales Joke Was Actually A Real Pitch To Disney, But It Never Got The License
Disney’s foolish, by the art alone, this game should be made. Studio has a good track record too.

This sort of game is begging to be a download. What an inconvenience a card would be in my opinion.

It’s not worry, it’s just after two plus years after the announcement, people want to see something.
Re: The Monkey-Like Zarude Is The New Mythical Pokémon In Sword And Shield
Mythicals are so stupid. Never in game. Just hand outs. Pretty sure an in game quest would do more for the series than a GameStop giveaway.
Re: Google's Pokémon Of The Year Vote Winner Is Announced, And It's Pretty Surprising
Greninja is not a surprising win. I am glad it isn’t Charizard, Pikachu, or Mewtwo personally.

Re: Atlus Wants To Know If You'd Like Persona, Etrian Odyssey And Other Past Games On Your Switch
Any Persona and Catherine would be excellent, as well as Nocturne. Anything else would be absolute gravy on top.

@Anti-Matter I play it with traditional controls as it is now. Such a shame they overpriced the game, it’s really a gem.
Re: PlatinumGames Unsure Astral Chain Will Remain Exclusive To Switch, Ultimately It's "Nintendo's Call"
Normally I wouldn’t care, but the sheer fact that the game was review bombed for this reason, would make it a real shame.

I’ve always been thankful I couldn’t wait the extra week and bought it on my One X. I still hope they figure it out eventually on Switch.
Re: Hey Nintendo, Can The Next Switch Update Look Something Like This Please?
For real. What on earth is the hold up here? I know you want some of this theme money, and I’m literally dying to give it to you.
Re: Feature: Our Most Anticipated Nintendo Switch Games Of 2020
I’d be somewhat shocked if Breath of the Wild 2 doesn’t come out in 2020, they need something to tide the release of new hardware.
Re: Move Aside Baby Yoda, Baby Sonic Is Much More Adorable

Re: Monster Boy Sold More Copies On Switch Last Week "Than The Entire 5 Months Before That"

Re: Feature: The Best Three Pokémon Starters From All Gens, As Voted By You
Basic and gross. Very disappointing honestly.
Re: Ninja Thinks Pro Players And Streamers Who Cheat Should Be Treated Differently
Lol, no. The same rules should apply, that’s just life. Every career can be volatile, especially in entertainment. I don’t feel sorry for him.
Re: Poll: Which Starter Pokémon Is The Best? Choose Your Favourite Water-Type Starter
Water was the most difficult choice, in the end I went with Mudkip, but it just as easily could have been Totodile, or Froakie.
Re: Video: Overwatch On Switch "Works" But It's Far From Perfect, According To Digital Foundry

The motion control is disappointing tho.

Re: Review: Asphalt 9: Legends - Likeable Burnout-Style Racing Action, If You Play The Right Way
@AshFoxX I only said Paradise, because it seems most likely. I’d much rather Takedown.
Re: Review: Asphalt 9: Legends - Likeable Burnout-Style Racing Action, If You Play The Right Way
I’d much prefer Burnout Paradise Remastered, but you know who can’t be bothered.
Re: Looks Like Nintendo Might Be Hiring Developers For A New 2D Mario Game
I hope they steer clear of “New” Super Mario Bros, Id much prefer something akin to Rayman Origins as far as aesthetics go.

Re: HMs Won't Be Returning In Pokémon Sword And Shield
HMs should never return. The two alternatives since their disposal have been more than adequate, and never are a hassle.
