As per every single LEGO announcement people getting upset with the price like this isn't the standard they've set for all their products. I'm not even sure what people think this should be priced at - £50 lol?
@Specter_of-the_OLED Only issue with the second game over the first is the bugs - but excellent games and I couldn't be more excited, doubled dipped on the switch ports of the first 2!
I get this is a Nintendo site, but damn the amount of NintenSIMPs is crazy - we all know the switch is an underpowered console - Nintendo doesn't need defenders
They're really just putting Tennant in everything Doctor Who right now, goes to show they've got zero faith in Jodie - if this game is going to just be The Edge of Time VR but with a bunch of 10th Doctor fan-w*** then this is going to be yet another disappointing attempt to keep Doctor Who alive
Screen burn in is inevitable, sure you can prevent it by not playing at full brightness and shorter times but it will eventually happen because that's how the technology works - i'd imagine by the time the next Nintendo console is revealed though burn in will probably factor into people buying Nintendos brand new system at launch
@Baker1000 I don't like the speed golf mode much but I played against my friends and we all got it in 3 but I was the fastest, meaning I got first, so it defo affects the score and being fast, absolutely destroyed my pals in the end being quicker lol
@abdias To be fair, I'm not a paid player and have caught most of my shinies from the wild - rarely do eggs or raids because they're a blatant cash grab - still managed to collect nearly 900 shinies in 3 years
This is probably pretty easy if hes grinding all the main series games and playing pokemon go - I have 2 GO accounts and have a total of 836 shinies - obviously lots of doubles but shinies aren't special anymore like they used to be once GO decided that new shinies were a feature
None, i'm a avid pokemon go player, I play around 1-2 hours a day and the game is far far far from the quality you would expect from a Nintendo IP - if they cared about pokemon GO first instead of trying to make as much money possible then maybe i'd want to see them tackle another franchise.
Personally I think if it wasn't going to be in the SW/SH art style, then I would have liked to see ORAS/X&Y stlye in HD - nice sweet spot between SW/SH art stlye and the semi-chibi style of gen 6
@micronean It might be the only new Mario Kart to be on the switch but it defo won't be '9' per say - Mario Kart 8 is the best selling wii u and switch game - sales together are insane and it is still top of the charts every week - they aren't going to be making a new full blown MK when the old one is selling better than most games in general - also how is this 'jumping the shark with no new ideas' when they've literally changed the whole concept of mario kart, allowing you to put Mario in a real world enviornment, design your own courses and be creative, that is literally the complete opposite of 'run out of new ideas' - You would never in a million years see the likes of Sony or Microsoft pulling this kind of thing.
@Friendly Guessing they don't want you to have the ability to clear out your storage and go from 2500/3000 pokemon to like 200/3000 storage and never have to pay for extra storage going forward if you manage things correctly
@jsw-8 I mean if you play PoGO I think its pretty obvious this is a VERY Niantic thing to do, scummiest companies out there - doesn't help that TPC is literally one of the scummiest companies too - put them both together and you've got the biggest scamming app on the market place aside from maybe Mario Kart Tour and Fortnite
@Guybrush20X6 They lost respect after less than a year of operating - i'd say that they've even managed to beat EA at being the worst video game company, I can't think of a good, enjoyable, non scammy feature they've introduced within the last 2 years
@TG16_IS_BAE No, you do need to declare it in the UK, however it is so easy to get away with not declare it that i know many many people who don't and use it to make thousands a month - I could report them fort tax fraud but don't know who they know kind of thing
@liljmoore A lot of these scalpers use this as their main income and then claim benefits - from the governments perspective, they don't make any income from selling items on auction/eBay - some people I'm aware of sell celebrity autographs for around £4000 a month, meeting them backstage and having like 20 professional photos signed to resell - they don't claim it as income on top of the benefits and they're bringing like £4500 a month of untaxed earnings - super illegal but very easy to get away with
Once again the Nintendo community are complaining in droves that expensive named brand x Nintendo is ridiculous - these products are for F4F fans/collectors that are Nintendo fans - same with the new Nintendo Lego - you aint gotta buy it, won't make you any more of a fan for spending $600 on a figurine
@TDCinFL Wrong, you get free gifts daily from buddy pokemon that bring you pokeballs for free, as well as daily free gifts in the shop containing pokeballs and you defo don't need to use berries to catch pokemon, you can mostly bin them or feed your buddy.
Don't get the people complaining about the price, have you guys ever been down a Lego isle at a store? Everything is overpriced, its Lego, next people will be surprised that iPhones are overpriced too lol
@RPGamer Considering tropical freeze just added easy mode and still charged $60 I wouldn't imagine much would be added to this - same for peachette in Mario Bros WiiU port :/
@Matthew010 I meant the non-exclusive stuff would have been the only things available in the pop up store because all the exclusives would have been gone by the time you would have got in. Bowler Hat Pika was selling out around 1pm every day and you had to be in the queue by 6am to get in just before 1
@Matthew010 Plus if you got there 8 mins earlier and queued, by the time you would have got in, everything exclusive would have sold out hours before and you've queued up for stuff you can easily get online!
@Stocksy I wouldn't say there is plenty to do, I'm just sitting around waiting for the next lot of cups to unlock as i've 100% everything I possibly can for the most recent tour, including the challenges took me under an hour to do all this too
@Jango296 Gen 4 arrived in October last year, how have you not got every available one by now? Most of us have been waiting months having nothing new to catch!
@Coxula They fixed many issues on the switch game, bought it about 2 months ago, they fixed the one big issue with the game a few weeks after purchase. 100% the game with only 1 mission not working which was said big issue, now waiting on this DLC

Re: Poll: What Other Nintendo Franchise Would You Like To See Niantic Work On?
None, i'm a avid pokemon go player, I play around 1-2 hours a day and the game is far far far from the quality you would expect from a Nintendo IP - if they cared about pokemon GO first instead of trying to make as much money possible then maybe i'd want to see them tackle another franchise.
Re: Poll: Do You Like The Chibi Art Style In Pokémon Brilliant Diamond And Shining Pearl?

Re: Rumour: 'Switch Pro' Could Feature A Mini-LED Display, According To A New Report
As long as they get rid of the ghastly screen bezels, they stand out like an old Android 2012 tablet.
LED would be nice, 1080p handheld is what would be worthwhile for the pro and 2160p docked if we are being realistic
