Just sell them in stores it will punish the scalpers because the resale value will tank. Making it "exclusive" is pointless. If you don't have NSO you won't buy the controller therefore anyone who buys this controller has NSO so it's a pointless membership perk.
theres an old racing game on Xbox called Test Drive that had playable pong during the loading screen. I thought that was a pretty great idea and I wish more games would do similar things.
It's not that great of a card in the current meta. Requiring Grass energy is kinda rough. It would be way more useful of it was Dark instead of Grass. I guess the lost zone is making a comeback so who knows what cards will be useful again. Finding a good strategy against Solrock/Lunatone deck has been a pain.
@Franklin You can go to PTCGO and sort by set and see them all. The Pokemon Go Lunatone/Solrock deck is dominating the Meta currently. The only surefire combo for it is a really good Dark deck. My Steel deck is almost useless with all the ability nullifying cards in the Go set.
I remember not liking it at all. It is such an odd transition from Combusken. Never liked it very much and was very confused when it got a resurgence in popularity after ORAS.
@Papery0shi XB2 was the first of the series I played and I went into it complete blind. I just jumped on the hype train and thought I would like it more. It looks beautiful and everything just wished the combat was more involved.
@BASEDSAKRI I've never heard of Bomberman Hero somehow. Looks awesome. I loved Bomberman 64 that game ruled, surprised I didn't know there were other Bomberman games on 64
Kudos to the writer for remembering Tropius exists. If only the Pokemon Company did. My favorite pokemon is forever forgotten, still sour that Tropius wasn't in SuMo. Alola would seem appropriate to be Tropius' original home.
I still use my 2017 Switch and it has been an absolute tank. I had to get the fan replaced (which NOA did for free) but other than that it is an amazingly durable console after 5 years of regular use. Really glad I didnt mod it because I am happy to support a company that made such an amazing product. I don't really judge modding but if you lose online play I don't think it's worth it.
First game was Blue had my dad take me to Target after playing it at my friend Anthony's house(never heard of Pokemon before this), bought Silver through money order from Nintendo Power and it came with these sweet Bellosom and Lugia Pins. I ended up seeing Ruby on the shelves at a Walmart not even realizing a 3rd game had been made and played all the way through before letting a friend borrow it. He never returned it and I fell out of Pokemon until X/Y.
Eliminator Boat Duel, how did you make it onto the Switch? Somewhere there is a guy that really fought to make sure Eliminator Boat Duel was added to NSO. The cover does rule so hard though. I would love a tshirt of the EBD cover.
Sometimes imitation is a good thing, Doom clones changed video game history for the better. I understand this is a very different situation but copying something isn't always something to decry.
Man this reminds me of the Ancient Mew Card rumor that if you peeled it there was a base set Charizard or whatever regional hoax was prevalent in your area. Yes I'm old.
I hate Voice Chat in video games period. I play games to relax not to have obscenity screamed at me from children. In Rocket League it's the worst because people always try to teach you there bad habits.

Interested to see if this card gets a Vmax or Vstar card.

I call it the NS if I abbreviate it like that but usually just calling it a Switch will do just fine.

Re: Sega Confirms Sonic Frontiers Won't Be Delayed, Says Fans "Don't Understand" It
@stinky_t If you just read the title yes. In the proper context of the sentence it's much less "we're smarter than you" sounding.
They sound mighty ambitious trying to invent an entirely new game style, interested to see what comes of it. It's hard not to root for Sonic.
