@Ironcore It is kind of like a switch pro, but the thing is, it’s so much more powerful that it’s able to play much more demanding games that the switch 1 would never be able to do eg. Cyberpunk, Bananza, which makes lots of games switch 2 exclusive/ports. Look at the PS5, or Xbox X/S, which are just more powerful versions of their predecessors. Not every new console has to be game changing, but they are quite different from their predecessors

@MetalGear_Yoshi Well Game freak is actually making a AAA game with decent graphics, but it’s for Xbox (beast of reincarnation) funnily enough

To me, (and most people online) who have been using emulators and follow gaming news frequently, this seems overpriced, under delivered, and not worth it.

To most other gamers, (who make most of the player base) who play games very causally and has no idea what's going on in the industry, this is great because they can play the games they played years ago and it’s still cheaper than most full price new games

One of those two extremes of people makes up the overwhelming majority of Pokémon customers, and it's definitely not the former. I’m not defending Nintendo, I’m just explaining why these ports sell so much.

@NintendoWife since when did Pokémon presents affect directs? They’ve always been separate things

I’m so confused. I thought people hated NSO subscription and were begging for old games to be purchasable separately, but now everyone complains when that happens?

What happened to this comment section lol

@Vyacheslav333 Sorry, I thought you were talking about physical backwards compatibility. I agree, virtual console would be nice, but the switch only had 1 screen, so it can’t do DS/3DS/Wii U

@Vyacheslav333 But the Switch 2 is backwards compatible? And there’s no way you can fit a disc into the switch, so it’s physically impossible for it to be further backwards compatible

@Moistnado you do realise that the development teams are separate from the legal team right? They are still making games

Wow, why is this comment section so negative? I thought the trailer was decent, but the comments make it sound like the movie is Nintendoomed?

I thought they had a ‘final’ update years ago?

@topher6490 you could always resell them if you don’t like them, that’s what I do with my games

Merry Christmas everyone!

@TheExile285 wasn’t there literally a Superman movie this year?

If only they designed the console with a built in screen so it’s portable…

Hell yeah! This was the one game I was waiting to be patched for switch 2

@Aswannsong calm down, did Kirby hurt you or something? Maybe the game isn’t for you, but you don’t have to be so passionate about hating it

Happy 20th birthday Nintendo Life!

Happy 20th anniversary!

The NA/Europe one is good as box art, the Japan one is good as a poster

I buy all my games second hand, since it’s a lot cheaper. Does that count?

This looks really fun, even better that the game is fully on cartridge, I look forward to playing it

@Anti-Matter well yeah, that’s the whole point of the game, it’s a spinoff for competitive VGC only, similar to Pokémon showdown. If you want story and exploration, that’s what the mainline games are for

@Anti-Matter Of course it’s turn based, that’s how Pokémon VGC works, just like the mainline games, which are turn based RPGs
