It's lego and star wars, why am I not surprised

I just don't get why / how the cards go up in value? Like they're off a production line somewhere, they can always make more. And valuable to collectors who do what with them. I just don't get it. Like art I get but then turns out that's like a tax haven or money laundering also, is this the same?

I think the timing is maybe right for prime remastered.

Sounds more realistically done than the prime trilogy, keeps metroid momentum going. Is gonna be 20 years old soon

Sir the fans are looking a bit riotous, we ought to give them some news

Yes yes just throw them another indie presentation n that should tide them over

1080 snowboarding - hey a man can dream

I just don't get it.

If it's to control how you progress through the main game, then why not lock when the national dex / your old pokemon are available?

If it's to control the competitive scene then lock down what is / is not allowed ?

If it's to save effort from an already stretched dev team, then maybe its worth investing in / recruiting a bigger / better team . Or postpone the annual release. This is one of the biggest franchises on the planet, to say its not worth it is an insult to fans everywhere.

@ShadJV Its just the idea that it is not worth the effort...for one of the biggest gaming franchises ever...so we can agree that the PR has not been handled well...at all!

I'm torn whether to get the game as I love pokemon but I don't want to give them my money for something that is potentially half baked, it just sends the message that its acceptable. But we'll see what happens down the line...

After all "Gotta Catch Em All" has been the tag line since the first games.

@ShadJV

Fair to say its different from Gen 3. Was just pointing out that the National Dex was there.

Fair to say don't know what GF / Nintendo will implement down the line but you are right, patches and DLC are a thing that didnt exist back then.

Personally I'm not fussed whether the whole dex is playable or not the only bit that irks me is the interview where they said it was "too much work" ! This is one of the biggest franchises on the planet, if its too much work, that say they don't care enough, because everyone will buy it anyway. I feel that this sets a dangerous precedent for the quality of future games.

@ShadJV but you could later transfer them in when Colosseum and LGFR came out. Here there is nothing...

@gspro15198 I'd agree this is just to make it easier for people who don't have the NSO sub yet to pay the sub.

I'm even willing to bet that the game will let you can get so far before it says you can't do this without an NSO sub, please subscribe here.

I'm all for increasing the NSO subscription base and improving the service.

The games need a queue that you are forced to join, awkwardly can't leave but leads nowhere...

I don't even mind paying for it either as another subscription, a collection (physical or download), or even individual titles on the eshop just throw us a bone Nintendo. We just want some way to play legacy titles on current hardware.

You'll more than make back whatever the negligible cost is. I just can't understand why you don't want to make more money from your extensive back catalogue. Your competitors have realised and capitalised on this notion.

Sure...why not...you do you Japan

Video editors (cutting together a direct for E3):

"There's just too much stuff here"

Nintendo:

"Give us that B roll stuff and we'll put it out just now"

This is Nintendo's replacement for the 3DS this is going after a different segment of the market. If you have a switch this is probably not for you.

But more consoles sold = more money for Nintendo = more great Nintendo games and potentially prolonging the life of the switch which is a win for all switch owners.

And more consoles sold = more attractive to third party devs which is another win

I've said before, I'm not averse to buying SNES, N64 & GC games for the switch but at least give us the opportunity. Every other games company trots out their back catalogue and I am assuming making some decent money off it (cause why else would they keep doing it) why is it Nintendon't ?

Regardless of the theme they are all essentially the same game. On the 360 I'd buy and 100% complete everyone of these but since I got back to playing Nintendo games, there's too many better experiences out there

Would have loved for there to have been Metroid Prime trilogy announcement, I'd liked for there to be some more news on Animal Crossing, but hey I've a decent backlog and I'd give the new Zelda a try...even if I'd rather it was even 2D Metroid.

ALL ABOARD !

HYPE TRAIN INBOUND

LEAKS = DIRECT CONFIRMED

Surely its got to be about more than the back catalogue games. Dedicated servers, matchmaking, the friends system, chat, offers, improvements to the e-shop...

The back catalogue is a nice bonus tho, but really wouldn't mind paying for it either individually or as a collection.

Loads of properties warranting a new game of some form, be it 2D or 3D. Especially if they have shifted away from 3DS development.

Mario, DK, Zelda, Metroid

OR out left field F-Zero, Starfox, Pikmin, 1080

OR y'know, tide us over with some re-releases be it individual releases or collection...

God damn it Nintendo let me give you some money

When will this insanity end? I take it the legal big wigs are just making sure the case is airtight before serving him?

I'm ok with anything they want to port or re release. The Wii had me so disenfranchised with Nintendo I went n got a 360, now returning to Nintendo its obvious the difference is in the first party titles, and I've missed a lot

I'd guess in part to get rid of the old stock and in part to make way for SNES either coming to NSO or maybe a compilation cart like Sega's Megadrive Collection ?
