Will Yuzo Koshiro do the music?!

The Pokestop description, "Places in Pokemon GO that allow you to collect items (such as eggs, pokeballs, and potions)" I love how it just says eggs, not Pokemon Eggs or anything. I can just imagine someone unfamiliar with the game thinking "What do you need eggs for...?"

I hope the Resident Evil 2 remake comes to the Switch.

The games really do need a skip button considering the amount of cutscenes. It will make any replays pretty bothersome. That said, I didn't mind the cutscenes at all my first time through. If people are really complaining about the story in this game, then wow, I wonder if they played any other Pokemon games because Sun and Moon easily have the best story in all of Pokemon (aside from the Mystery Dungeon games of course). Not saying the story is a masterpiece or anything, but narrative has never been a focus for the series, this game possibly being the only exception.

Overwatch won game of the year...? Ech

Just finished the story a couple days ago. Great game!! Much better than Gen 6.

Makes sense to me, though it's a shame we'll miss out on second screen capabilities.

I haven't bought anything made or published by Nintendo (aside from Tokyo Mirage Sessions and Sun and Moon) the past like, 6 months, so I haven't personally been affected by any of the stock shortages... Aside from when the Ness amiibo came out. I was pretty sure I would never get one, but I crapped my dungarees when GameStop had them in stock while I was pre ordering Sun and Moon.

Anyway, I've heard nothing but horror stories this year, and I'm getting really worried about the Switch. I really don't want to have to hunt one down.

@Spoony_Tech Maybe because the Castlevania series has had a bigger presence on Nintendo than anywhere else? I'm super excited for this game, partially because of the GBA and DS Castlevania games that I fell in love with as a kid. And let's keep it real, is anyone really doubting a Switch version? It might not come day one but I really don't see why it wouldn't appear eventually.

I'm curious why of all styles they go for a '''''realistic''''' environment and atmosphere. Low polygonal graphics can actually work really well in some cases, but certainly not for realism.

Good list. Tales of the Abyss is a great game that I experienced first on the 3DS, but it's not like it's an incredible port. The 3D is very weak (though I guess it's better than nothing, sad that I have to say that but games seem to be abandoning that feature now), and as far as I know it didn't really add any new significant content.

Xenoblade is also just a port of a game that's not even that old. Great game-- amazing game, don't get me wrong, but I just think a port would be an odd choice. You could point out Soul Hackers and DQVII but those are more remakes, especially DQVII.

I might agree with someone else, that Stella Glow could fit on here too, maybe replacing FE Fates or Yokai Watch.

And also, Etrian Odyssey IV is a masterpiece. I think it's one of the few games that is, for me, a hands down 10/10 game. I highly recommended it to all classic JRPG fans and lovers of video game music (Yuzo Koshiro!!)

As a Nintendo fan, I hate Nintendo fans.

You can do this in X and Y too. I spend too much time in Amie/Refresh.

Zombi U totally deserves a spot on this list. I know it's there, I was just surprised to see more a handful of people say it should be replaced with something, but I disagree.

Sure you understand, my favorite part about the Wii U is the retail games library. My least favorite part is the retail games library. There are some incredible games, just... Not enough, you know? So many droughts. So many...

Rabbids are kinda lame, but Mario RPGs have always been at least good if not absolutely amazing.

No one is ACTUALLY paying the ridiculous scalper prices right? I mean in this case it makes absolutely no sense. You could buy and actual NES and games for the prices people are demanding, some games CIB even.

smartphones were a mistake

Had a lot of fun on my Wii U, got it near launch. Not sad to say goodbye honestly.

I wonder if we'll get a new character or two. A simple port that has all of the original content + DLC would be really nifty, especially if it comes at a lower price, but I can't say I would buy the same game twice to quickly. But then again, I suppose a Switch port of Smash isn't really aimed towards me as much as it is people who never owned a Wii U.

I don't really care about "Resident Evil" 7, but I do really really hope the Resident Evil 2 remake gets a Switch port... How cool would that be, so many years later for RE2 to get a remake and a port on a console that uses cartridges, just like the original RE2 port on N64. Who would have ever thought a console would be using cartridges this far into the future?

I'm fortunate enough to still have (multiple) working NES consoles with a nice library of games, so I don't think I'll be picking this up, but I do think it's a pretty neat idea.

@Bananaman678 Yes. The game is an absolute mess. Not even one of the people who blindly hates on new mechanics and cards added to the game, like Synchros, Xyz, and Pendulums, but as far as the big three card games (Magic, Pokemon, and Yugioh), I feel safe in saying that Yugioh is by far the most broken and least enjoyable.

I feel like it's lost its identity over the years too. I wouldn't usually bring that up because the game is pretty old and change is inevitable, but I'm gonna bring it up because I hate the state of the game as is, so I'm just looking for other aspects to dislike about it lol.

Popipo was the first Vocaloid song I heard... Not the greatest to start with lol, but not so long after that I became a big vocaloid fan after listening to other songs.

@GoldenGamer88 @Buizel
While I don't disagree that a gen 1 remake would be cool at least to see Kanto in 3D, I'm hoping for gen 4 and 5 remakes before they go back to Gen 1 again.

@GoldenGamer88
For real? What makes you interested in another remake of Gen 1? Not trying to sound mean, but I truly don't see anything to gain from a Gen 1 remake aside from seeing the game with better graphics.

I really hope gen 2 comes on virtual console at some point... I'm excited at the idea of a Gen 4 remake using the Sun and Moon engine, and maybe getting some... ''Sinnoh-nian'' variants of Pokemon.

I recommend HVGN's retrospective on the Splatterhouse games. Very enjoyable even for someone who hasn't played the games.

Sweet jeans cool beans!!

Well, I guess gamefreak really went "all the way" with Popplio's evolution (and Litten's final evolution for that matter). I'm sure I'll end up getting a male unless they change the ratios, so I need a fabulous name... like Jareth, David Bowie's character in Labyrinth.

$400 is the max I would pay, and that's only if it's for some sort of bundle, maybe with a game or extra controller or what have you. Hoping for $300 or less for the standard package.

And just like that, the dream for a Fallout game where the Pip Boy is on the second screen is dead. Just like God. Nintendo killed both.

Isn't that a new Mario Kart game? At the least it's somewhat different from MK8...

okay I watched them but there's still 40 minutes until the nx reveal what do I do

Truthfully, the demo brought my overall hype for the game down, though I don't see that as a terribly bad thing. I was probably getting a bit too hyped, honestly.

For me, the pros were:
Movement feels better than ever. I think running just feels good.

The graphics in general also feel a lot more modern. Walking around a town with a moving camera, being able to talk to NPCs from any side, it's the little things like that.

As far as visuals go, the battles are great. Nice camera, cool hud, flashy move animations, character/trainer entrances at the beginning of the battle etc.

By far the best part of the demo for me was the sound. Some of the new tracks are great, like the main field you're in, and the trainer battle theme-- holy smokers that's incredible. I agree with what someone else said above though, the volume could be louder. Also, ambient Pokemon noises being heard all over is brilliant. Such a simple idea, but I find it incredibly immersive.

The cons are a lot of little things, but that said there were still a lot. I agree with what most people have said so far, but what stuck out to me the most were
Greninja being your only Pokemon

Trial Challenge was pretty uh... short, simple, and kinda lame.

Even though the visuals in general are really good, the textures look like they're straight out of a PS1 game. I'm hoping maybe that's just because of compression to make the demo smaller? I don't know.

Pressing A to open doors is a bit of a strange choice to me since you've been able to walk into all doors in the other games.

And overall there's really just not much to do.

Still excited for the game, but ultimately this demo was just kinda bad in really most ways, especially with how much information has been mined from it. There's still an entire month to go before it comes out... Honestly the demo probably shouldn't have even been made.

Ue o Muite Arukou~

Neat concept, don't really see anything like it on 3DS. I think there should have been a push to go for an art style that suits the game a bit more though, if that makes sense. This 'realistic' approach just looks bad. I know that zombie games don't really stray from realism in graphics but this really does look like a PS1 game in alpha.

Streetpass is really cool. I brought my 3DS to school with me every day during high school, but now that I'm in college, I only bring it on the two days I have an hour of free time between classes. I still get a decent amount of hits, but not like I used to.

It's pretty interesting, because even though I never viewed Streetpass as anything too special, I've played through Find Mii and Find Mii 2 many times each, played through Monster Manor, and Mii Force, and have tried out a couple of other games... I mean, I've spent quite a bit of time on it, and have gotten a lot of hits (relative to everyone else I streetpass) and have a lot of puzzle pieces. Sometimes I listen to the default plaza theme and it brings me back to late 2011/early 2012, back when 3DS had extremely slim pickings. Still, it's nostalgic nevertheless.

I always wished that there was a way to connect the 3DS to the Wii U so that when you StreetPass people, maybe your Mii could say what you've been playing on Wii U in addition to what you've been playing on your 3DS too, just for fun.

Took me at least a minute to figure out it wasn't Star Wars. Even after reading the comments, I thought "what are you guys talking about it says Star Wars"

Ultra hyped for this game, so much that I'll probably by it first on PC just because that's an easier way to play it. But of course, being a diehard Castlevania fan, I want to play it on console at some point. I think an NX port is a much better alternative.

The NX better be worth having to endure release schedules like this. I am really, really hyped for Pokemon though. I can't wait!

Yuzo "Streets of Rage" Koshiro
Yuzo "Etrian Odyssey" Koshiro
Yuzo "God of VGM" Koshiro

So when you transfer Pokemon from Red/Blue/Yellow, are they assigned all the things you can't see in RBY, such as ability, gender, etc? I have to say, it's really exciting for it to be a surprise like that, especially since it makes playing RBY a lot more enjoyable, not having to worry about not getting your preferred nature/gender/ability etc.

I never cared much for the Lords of Shadow CV games despite loving almost every other one to death, but it's still sad that Castlevania is pretty much dead forever...

Aw, I can't fool anyone. Who here HYPE for the sexy CV pachinko machine?!?!?! DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

seppuku

Really disappointing... But I believe in IGA. Bloodstained will be magnificent!

All I can say is that I hope the NX blows me away, because Nintendo has been losing me as a fan for the past few years. That's not to say that this game looks bad, but it's certainly not the kind of game I go to Nintendo for.

This game is on the 3DS now?! Holy smokers I think I'll have to make the purchase.

Surely they'll work on Golden Sun next...

Wasn't the Isaac assist trophy taken out of Smash 4? I don't want to look too deeply into things, but... That makes my gut grumble with no-good feelings.

I wonder when we'll get some good nintendo news

breath of the wild needs to come out and work some magic because it's almost painful being a nintendo fan right now

I wanted to comment earlier, but classes and what not. I woke up to watch the direct early like normal, and had fairly low expectations, or so I thought. But honestly this was a really bad direct, for me personally. For one, no mention of Etrian Odyssey V, which is a huge bummer. Second, games that I was interested in such as Ever Oasis and SMT IV Apocalypse really didn't see any new information, but rather reminders that they exist.

The New Leaf update is actually pretty awesome, but at the same time, it feels like an excuse to not make a new one for longer. Hopefully I'm wrong, but that's what it feels like to me.

I'm honestly kinda pissed at all the Wii U ports. Look, I get it, it makes sense, and I'm sure they will be fine ports that work well. However, what bothers me the most is how all the new games, with the exception of eShop fodder and the new Pikmin spin-off, are just Wii U ports! Oh, and Mario Sports. Yeah. The reason why this bothers me is I vaguely recall Reggie or some other Nintendo rep claiming that Nintendo still has surprises in store for 3DS owners, but Wii U ports are hardly surprises, and are certainly not new! Just the thought of Nintendo believing that these ports are great new additions and surprises for Nintendo fans honestly makes me mad, like actually kinda mad.

The last Nintendo developed game I bought for the 3DS was Codename STEAM, and only because it was $10 at GameStop. The last game I bought before that was Super Mystery Dungeon, nearly a year ago. Third parties are offering way better experiences for the 3DS in my opinion. Glad I have a never-ending backlog.
