@Thomystic as a Canadian, I'm legitimately perplexed. Every other sport has female teams... does the world not think we have female hockey teams?? You guys know we have women's football and lacrosse too right?? (This isn't a knock at you yourself I just never thought the notion of female hockey teams was an unknown haha)
That aside, give whatever hoser chose the music a raise.
@KayFiOS i can only see out of one eye and I would absolutely never expect a company to dampen the experience for every able-sighted (is that a term haha) person to accommodate for me. I don't stand outside theaters offering 3D movies with a picket sign saying people shouldn't be allowed to see those movies because I can't. I don't want white knights defending my disability I want people to be able to have a good time.
@ArcanineLink can us Canadians join in on this cause? Just give us that extra U in some words, Nintendo.
I'm actually in the camp that think Zelda looks great. Zelda was always allowed to be more stylized between incarnations than Link so she never had a true canon look. Link however... will take some getting used to. I can't pinpoint if it's the actors face or the hair they gave him something just looks uncannny.
@AStupidID an announcement that they acquired Grezzo followed by "we're remaking/remastering Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask for the Switch 2" is now on my mind, dangit.
People saying ZA is worse than games like Gold and Silver have never played Gold and Silver. Terrible regional dex, absolutely no memorable characters other than maybe Silver, no story outside of the 30 minutes of grinding level 13 Team Rocket grunts, and the most grindy Pokemon games to date (the remakes are not excused for this either).
I grew up in the days of playing Pokemon Blue under my desk at school and pulling out the link cable at recess to trade with people - and as someone who's played every mainline game since - Pokemon has never been "amazing". I would say Black and White and Black 2 and White 2 are what I'd consider the "best" Pokemon games, and I think that's the level we need to judge them on. Pokemon will never be Breath of the Wild or Mario Odyssey or Xenoblade Chronicles. If you keep expecting that you're setting yourself up for disappointment. People complain the graphics aren't up to par with Zelda. Well duh. The fanbase wants all Pokemon walking around in the overworld constantly regenerating so that it's "immersive" and will not at all take up massive amount of processing power that will cause the game to need to scale back on assets and/or make the game lag to function properly. Why do you think Breath of the Wild has the Blood Moon? Because the map can't handle consistently regenerating models every 30 seconds. And that game had what, 15 unique enemy models? And you guys want 1000 uniquely animated models walking around and constantly regenerating once you knock them out/leave the area? Sure Breath of the Wild is a beauty to explore - but there's barely anything on screen with you at the same time ever.
Breath of the Wild is my favourite game of all time and this is not a knock at that game, but if they had enemies constantly taking up processing power in the background the game would not have run remotely as well as it did and sacrifices would have had to have been made.
Honestly i give kudos to Game Freak for even trying to appease to the open world fans' demands even though they probably know it's not for the best of the franchise. I'd love it if we went back to Unova with a remake similiar to BDSP (ASTERISK HERE that it's actually made in house and has the HGSS/ORAS treatment instead) and keeps the encounters out of the overworld.
Long unexpected post later but short form is - Pokemon has never been this amazing, graphical, story driven juggernaut of a masterpiece that fans seem to think it used to be. Take the nostalgia goggles off. I love it to death, but I would never consider more than 3 or 4 mainline games as above and beyond expectations.
@TheExile285 I mean it hasn't been released yet so don't count it out, it's still possible it just wasn't included in these notes. (This is my copium for a potential Three Houses update leaking through)
Whoever rates this as absymal is just hating to hate, go outside people.
New Battle system needs to be a mainstay going forward, much more fun than turn based combat. The interactivity of Pokemon with the enviroment is great (hiding in trees, jumping out at you from water)
For whatever reason, Game Freak made it their MISSION to make the sewer area look amazing. Like the wall and floor textures with the specular mapping what the heck?? Why is that the best looking part of the game? (So far, haven't beaten it yet) Genuinely impressed.
I gave it an 8 only because the rooftops seem a little empty and the implementation of the Rotom phone... "glide" or whatever it's called is terrible. There also needs to be a way to reach further rooftops, I spent far too long thinking I could reach the rooftops across the street and falling. My only other gripe is having an Aegislash on my team means i have to wait every time I send it out for it to switch to blade form to attack.
@Vortexeo that game was a masterpiece and top 3 Switch games for me next to Breath of the Wild and Three Houses. Please report back somehow after with your reactions to some of the story lines and the battles and the MUSIC. Partitio's theme is my alarm clock/ringtone music, the soundtrack is phenomenal. Enjoy!!
Recently restarted Smash Ultimate on the Switch 2 a few days ago, trying to 100% the Spirits now... and I forgot how awful farming Spirit Board was when trying to get the last 10 or so spirits left. Arcanine's Spirit was removed from the game I won't believe it hasn't shown up yet and is still coded in after buying 5 billion shuffle items.
"We're broadcasting a second direct, unfortunately."
@N00BiSH after yesterday's direct I've learned the gaming audience can't be satisfied with literally anything anymore. I could watch Sakurai's directs for days, the man is a personable and entertaining gem.
I feel like I didn't watch the same direct as most of the comment sections.
New Mario sports game, new Yoshi, new Pokemon game, most importantly new Fire Emblem related to Three Houses
Release date for one of the most awaited games this past decade with a new trailer
OPTIONAL (yes you have the choice to not get it) extra content for Donkey Kong, Mario Wonder and Pokemon
Upscaled versions of 2 of the most beloved games of all time
Teaser for the new Mario movie (which by the way we will get more trailers soon, teaser trailers are not new)
And a bunch of 3rd party content for people who don't own a PC or Playstation or XBox.
I'm not saying it was a phenomenal direct but this direct had something for everybody. I don't know what they could've shown other than Smash Bros or a new Zelda to make it "better". What else did people want??? I gave it a 9/10.
Also in case people didn't know: Donkey Kong Bananza was developed by the Odyssey team and it released 2 months ago. We weren't getting a new 3D Mario announcement today.
@Broosh upgrades to multiple Game of the Year nominated games for people who maybe never had a Switch, new Mario Kart, new 3D platform juggernaut by the Mario Odyssey team, new Metroid, new Fire Emblem, new Pokemon, a massive amount of 3rd party games... all announced or released within 3 months of the console launch... but yes I can see how there's nothing to play or get hyped over.
I feel like people saying these games are way too expensive to buy again don't realize they aren't the target audience. 40 bucks for Mario Galaxy for someone who's never played it before while getting enhanced graphics and I'm presuming smoother framerate is gonna be an amazing experience for a first time player. Plus it's a good way for people who either A) didn't get a chance to get the All Stars Bundle or B) wanted the bundle but held off because they don't like 64 or Sunshine and only wanted Galaxy, to now get this.
If you already have the game on Switch or Wii - cool don't buy this then. Simple as that.
@MSTRDM that's what I thought and she's clearly older. But the setting seems a little older which is why I was torn. However it could just be a new area outside of Fodlan (Almyra?) where this is their attire and architecture.
Either way- is it 2026 yet I need to know when this comes out so I can book the week off work.
@ParrakerriRush dang I didn't know there were Pokemon that objectively do and don't deserve megas, you'll have to point out this list to me so I know exactly what Pokemon I should be upset at for getting megas later.
Mario Kart World update with new characters/skins (i.e. DK and Pauline) New Fire Emblem (new entry or remake) Smash Bros teaser now that Air Riders is almost done (Ultimate came out SEVEN years ago) Metroid Prime 4 release date Octopath Traveler 0 new information NSO releases (Colosseum/XD?)
I've seen so many comments saying the design is boring or lazy
People forgetting Mega Slowbro is literally just a Slowbro with a shell turned 90 degrees and bigger, and Mega Absol just grows flamboyant wings. These designs don't need to look like actual evolutions.
It's literally based on the word QUASAR which is pronounced KWAY-ZAR. I'm not going to try and force anyone to pronounce things differently than they prefer, but saying this pronunciation is wrong is just incorrect. It doesn't matter if its not spelled Rayquayza, the english language is stupid and we should all know this at this point that letter arrangements don't make sense.
@Dang_69 yeah man just ignore the charity fraud and minors attending these events being assaulted that Nintendo wants to make sure doesn't happen. The evil mega corporation! White knights, we ride at dawn!
@HeadPirate can we please just put this entire comment in the actual news article so more people read it before doomposting "Nintendo bad" in the comments....
After seeing all the allegations come from the Smash Bros competitive scene and the Completionist charity fraud - I'm behind Nintendo on this. And sure it's a charity event but that's going to get covered on streaming websites and will potentially get ad revenue which is probably not something most people immediately think of. Even if it's for charity, you can't be certain everyone present is going to play nice and not keep any money.
And like some people are mentioning - they're just asking the organizers to ask first. That's not a tall ask and should've been done regardless of the size of the company.
@LastFootnote i think Diamond and Pearl are easily my least favourite games in the series, theyre just so... boring, I don't get the appeal. But then again when people say they like Gen 4 they usually just mean Platinum.
@SillyG my 33 year old starting-to-grey hair does not appreciate it either.
Though the higher average age does make sense if you see how much more widespread Pokemon criticism has become in the last 5 or so years, because 99% of kids will not care about Dexit or framerates.
9 for now. Gameplay is addicting, characters are charming, music is great, all the callbacks and nostalgia bits are great. Will probably go closer to 10 closer to the end of the game depending how it plays out.
Also guaranteed the people who selected 1 - Abysmal don't have the game and/or are 12 years old.
I told myself I'd get around 500 gold before proceeding to the second level because i wanted to have some cash in case there were shops..... ended up getting to about 6000 before deciding "maybe i should go to the yellow marker". Same, Miyamoto.
@Ultimapunch Ocarina of Time was my first thought. that game ran horribly and it's praised as the greatest game of all time. Breath of the Wild had frame drops and it's praised as the second greatest game of all time (well, it's up there)
Donkey Kong Bananza will be fine with a few frame drops people.
99% of consumers won't care if it drops to 50 fps on larger destruction sequences. Unless it drops to below 30fps very often, nobody is going to bat an eye at this except for people on Reddit and this comment section.
I'm just patiently waiting to see the headline that Pokemon Colosseum is available so I can load up the game that starts with a cutscene where Wes blows up a building and 30 seconds later you're battling Rider Willie with his 2 Zigzagoon and the best Pokemon OST starts playing.
@NolandC they made the game and if there were bugs they just existed in the game forever? Every game from the N64 and Gamecube and before has these, have you not played any?
@NolandC ah yes the famous price=amount of bugs a game should or should not have. You realize they probably have 10 to 20 bug testers who absolutely cannot forsee the amount of bugs 5 million players can find? Learn how video game development works.
Can we skip to the part where people stop talking about the price already in every article.
@PinballBuzzbro aren't they contract workers? They could be replaced at any time, and we don't know the full details as to why some of them other than Martinet were replaced. I know there's some drama with the voice actors' union, it's possible that had something to do with it. Not defending Nintendo at all but saying they're screwing over half the main cast when 90% of voice lines have been reused for like 15 years is a bit of a stretch.
