I’m noticing a trend where people who describe themselves as someone who doesn’t like Pokemon games gives one a good review it ends upselling like crap.
Was expecting key cards for all of these since that what they are on other consoles. Code in a box makes sense for Skyrim since the alternative is reprinting the base cart and making you download the rest. But totally nonsensical for Fallout which is like 10 years old.
The dreams of a New Vegas remake/port is dead so instead I’d like to see a port of the original Morrowind or Oblivion. Forza Horizon 6 would also be great.
They are also designed to be anti-Pokemon. Designs usually disallow combing opposite properties such as “soft glass” and “buff bug”, “organic space station”, “small destructive weapon” etc.
Curious to see if ZA can surpass Arceus but wow people really don’t like the Legends series overall, now both both legends games are the at the bottom.
So after NL has written no less than 4 articles about Dispatch’s censorship, it was deemed appropriate not to even acknowledge that DQ7 was similarly censored?
Decide to remake your most popular game
Break it into 3 parts
Take 7 years to release the first part
Spend hundreds of millions of dollars
Take another 3 years to make part 2
It sells half of part 1.

Give the game to your only competitor
Spend millions more
It’s worse than the original
Having to go empty my mega shards almost hourly was annoying, also I bought 5000 berries to make low level donuts and the item pop up telling me I got an Irma berry lasted about 15 minutes
Forza Horizon 6 and Halo:MCC are the only MS games that have a shot. None of this remake nonsense.
If the rumors are true (they rarely are) a faithful New Vegas remake would be great? But I’d really prefer the original along with 1 and 2. Flight Sim 24 would be great but it’s probably too niche.
Some other gems we still need are the original oblivion (not the remake it was bad). Black Ops 2 and 7 since we only need online.
For Nintendo games, we really need a modern port of Custom Robo and Arena. Kid Icarus would play great with 2 sticks, and I really thought we had finally moved past how bad Fire Emblem 3 houses was when we got Engage, so getting an Awakening port might not be likely.
Classic cycle. A contentious game comes out and receives universal praise and all criticism is ignored as being hateful.
Then the sales data shows it underperforms or outright bombs and then it “always had a few flaws”. You are here.
Next step is that Metroid will slowly be pulled from major marketing or Nintendo will release a statement that the next game “will be a while to give it more time” and we all agree that the game was always below average to bad.
It’s ok to say that the quippy Disney humor made by the guy who killed of God of War is bad.

Re: Poll: So, Should Pokémon Red And Blue Return For The 30th Anniversary?
What is hardcore collectors have to understand is that normies prefer the impermanent NSO over real ownership because it’s more convenient.
Re: The Hundred Line Creator Wants To Keep The Game Going For "Around Ten Years"
I’m hyped for DR4 and enjoy their writing style. If they uncensor the game I’ll buy it.

Re: Danganronpa 2x2 Gets Fancy Physical Editions On Switch 1 & 2, Pre-Orders Live Now
I’m hopeful that this is meant to go away from the anime and tell a new game only story.
It would be funny to have the numbered entries be 1,2,53,2 again and then just a basic 5.
Re: Review: Mario Tennis Fever (Switch 2) - Slim For Singles, But An Addictive Core Gives It Online Legs
If you’re reading the comments before the review, save yourself some time and start with the 9th paragraph that when the game is first mentioned.

Too bad it’s the worse version. Would have bought the GOTY edition day 1.
Re: Indiana Jones Cracks His Whip On Switch 2 On 12th May 2026
Crazy that this game has yet to even sell 500k copies.
Definitely a victim of bad timing releasing close to the disastrous Starfield.
Re: Overwatch 2 Ditches The Number In Huge Overhaul, Switch 2 Version Announced
Blizzard is toast, the second Marvel Rivals hits the scene they’re going to lose all their Switch players.
Heck the thing could shadow drop tomorrow for all we know.

My evident is it wasn’t for sale when they said they sold 5 million.

@NolandC
Oh lol whoops. No I didn’t and I especially didn’t buy one when it wasn’t for sale.
Re: It's Official, The Switch Is Nintendo's Best-Selling Console Of All Time
@NolandC
The burden of proof is on Sony to show that sold 5 million units 15 years after the console wasn’t on the market.
Re: It's Official, The Switch Is Nintendo's Best-Selling Console Of All Time

They offered up no evidence and just…made the number bigger.

Re: It's Official, The Switch Is Nintendo's Best-Selling Console Of All Time
Congrats to Nintendo for beating Sony. They lied and and didn’t sell 160.
Switch is the best selling console of all time.

You don’t “leave” a company immediately after such a high profile release that was contentious at best.
Re: Nintendo Producer Kensuke Tanabe Has Seemingly Confirmed His Retirement
Ousted for his failure. Never should have let the bad writing stay.
Re: Random: YouTuber Combines Switch 2, PS5, And Xbox Series S Into One Huge Machine
Honestly it’s pretty funny how much of a diminish isn’t return this is, most 1st part games from MS and Sony will come to the S2 eventually anyway.
Re: Switch 2 Predicted To Follow In PlayStation And Xbox's Footsteps This Year With "Global Price Hike"
It depends on how gas they hit that 30 million threshold. If they can last one more year they’ll be fine.
