I never hated this game. Though, I did have my doubts. I'm not complaining, but I mean, I guess I can understand how some would feel about it. The mainline Pokemon games are still easy and simple. And they follow the same formula for the most part game, after game, after game. And, I still find enjoyment out of it.

It reminds me of the Dynasty Warriors games. I love them even though people are quick to call it just rehash and the complaints for DW9 were understandable when they strayed too far from the formula that worked for fans.

I'm obviously looking forward to generation 8 more than this. But, I won't completely write these games off. I'm not a very competitive player and I casually play the main games for the most part. (With the exception of some EV training)

I hope this new audience gets onboard with the next generation. Pokémon Switch is gonna be amazing, I'm sure.

Nice. Now bring DOA 6.

I really can't wait for this game, tbh. I'm already looking forward to playing as Blaze and Rouge so much.

@Agramonte It sounds kind of like you're missing the point of the Switch.

@PrincessBowsette Yes, they should. It would be amazing and it would probably compensate for not getting Soul Calibur VI.

@Haywired I'm not saying it can't run, but I think a lot of people take fighters for granted in terms of how demanding they are. Neither Soul Calibur VI or Tekken 7 do native 1080P on base PS4 IIRC. And I think SFV was fairly demanding when it came out too.

Just like the majority of big third party titles. Sucks, but it's no surprise. Too bad, Switch owners.

It's already enough work as it is trying to get MMOs on consoles to begin with. And the Switch's hardware which is even weaker including lack of storage space doesn't help at all.

Nickelodeon Kart Racers had them shook.

Now we need Samurai Warriors 4.

Just what I needed. Bowsette to beat me up. Thanks, Soul Calibur VI.

There was online in these games?
...Huh.

@PrincessBowsette But that's not the point. You were talking about controls. How someone prefers to play is irrelevant. And I'm not sure why you keep bringing up heat as if every phone is going to blow up or something. Plenty of phones including mine handle that just fine over long periods of time.

It's amusing to see people genuinely upset over this phone.

@Balta666 Well, if you're playing it like that, then yeah. The enemies can be laughable. They are pretty much just there to throw around without any real problem.

Even so, I still enjoyed knocking them around like that. Hard mode really keeps you on your feet and makes it more than just mindlessly button mashing, but if you don't enjoy playing the game on normal modes either, it's probably safe to say these games aren't really for you.

@Balta666 If you play Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate on hard or chaos, you have to make sure not to get shot by too many archers which will end you if you're just slashing away at enemies.

Also, you need to pay attention to what kind of weapons you're using along with attributes that might help or else you're probably going to struggle. Some enemy officers literally one shot you if you slip up.

Hyrule Warriors is another one. The Adventure Mode maps all usually have a specific requirement. Although, they have set difficulty, some of them can be downright ridiculous. Like, "don't get hit" for example.

I get that these games just look like basic hack & slash on the surface, but anyone who's invested time into them along with the different modes can tell you there's usually more to it than that.

@Balta666 I love when people call these games button mashers cause it shows they haven't really been playing them. Trust me, you will die pretty fast if button mashing is your only strategy on higher difficulties.

@Dalarrun My point is everyone is comparing the quality of the games, yet they wouldn't be willing to game on a phone anyways.

Here is my question to you guys. How much would you be willing to spend on mobile games for a better gaming experience? Most of you probably would not spend more than $10.

This is the mindset of most people and this is why you get free to play games.

It's just something you'll have to live with due to the Switch trying to be portable. Be thankful you aren't getting the same 50+GB required file size like the other consoles. THAT would be a problem.

@Dalarrun While I see what you're getting at, I feel like the way speed works for Sonic in games like 3&K and Mania are the best example of how it should be.

I suppose the games do have a big learning curve if you're not used to it. But, they reward you greatly with speed when you avoid enemies and obstacles.

That can't be said about every level, but that's usually the case for most.

@BigKing City Escape is iconic... Still one of the best.

I don't need it... I don't need it... I definitely don't need it.

@MH4 inb4 Rabbid Peach trophy

You can't look at this thing and seriously tell me that's a guy.

@Heavyarms55 If you're alright with losing every race you participate in, then sure. He doesn't need a car.

@SimplyCinnamon53 No problem. 👍

@SimplyCinnamon53 It's Ulala from Space Channel 5.

They look so gooood.

The first one is great and really fun! Definitely try it if you can.

This is really well made. I'd love an official Bowsette in NSMBU.

I love JSR so much, but I don't blame them if they don't want to do it. It already got an HD version and I still don't see many people who know about it or even care.

@dleec8 But this still confuses me. I want to know the real reasoning behind this. Reggie said if we want Netflix or whatever on the Switch, we have to take it up with them.

But, why? Netflix and other streaming services are on basically every device ever. I doubt they wouldn't want to put it on the Switch as well. Nintendo must be telling them they can't do it or something. I don't know.

@dleec8 This doesn't add up when you realize that even Nintendo's own consoles prior to the Switch had multimedia apps.

It's been a mix of Sleeping Dogs Definitive Edition, Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate, and Skyrim.

Sleeping Dogs is really fun, guys. Better than GTA V imo.

@Mew Because this isn't replacing the core game releasing next year. I really wouldn't like if this was the only thing we got, but they've confirmed the Pokémon most of us do want is already in the works.

Once I got that confirmation, I was alright. But some others still hold a grudge against this game. Like, who cares? Let the Let's GO players do their thing while we get ours next.

@NIN10DOXD Like I said, this fanbase is divided. I guarantee you the core game is not going to satisfy some of the same people complaining about this. Whether it's the new Pokémon designs, the region, the story, Mega Stones, etc.

@Mew You aren't. I'm mostly referring to people making a huge uproar about this game.

@Mew Honestly, this fanbase is pretty toxic. It's almost as divided as the Sonic fanbase.

Gamefreak literally told you we were getting a core game in 2019 and you guys still can't get over this game.

What I want from a new Switch would be:

-A better display (the one on the current Switch is very reflective in sunlight, bleh)

-More internal storage

-Bigger and more efficient battery

-More power (of course)

Even if all they do is bump it up to docked speed in portable mode with a more efficient cooling solution so it can handle it, then even that would be a considerable upgrade.

@Mgene15 Admittedly, this year has been slower than last, but I don't see it as that bad. The Switch has mostly been carried throughout this year with third party ports and some of them quite excellent too. DBFZ just released for example.

Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition is one of the games that's taken up a ton of my time. I still want Bayonetta and Octopath Traveler. As well as the Kirby game from the start of the year. (Though I think that's priced bit too high for my liking)

I'm curious as to what games you want as well as what games you play on your Switch. I don't even have all of what I want from last year. I need to catch up...

@pika677 It was a failure. Let's not even damage control.

@Agramonte Why can't we have both? What is with people and this logic that older ports are bad? If the Switch didn't get "old rehash" as you say it, we wouldn't have Skyrim, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and we also wouldn't be getting the first Valkyria Chronicles.

People really need to stop being salty about upgrades. Get used to it, seriously. We already got it with the other consoles and it's a good option for people who have the money. It doesn't even affect you.

Man, this is like people who say PC gaming is bad because new graphics cards always release. You can literally just not buy it and move on.

"Lost a lot of money making it happen"
The Wii U in a nutshell.

Sony: Oh my God, I already did crossplay with you guys. Leave me alone.

I wonder the same thing myself. I looked at my games that I barely play or haven't even touched and thought, do I really need to keep buying more games?

I feel like you'll be more satisfied if you put your focus on one or two games at a time. It really makes you see just how much content some of your games have too.

Pokemon XY was my very first game after a long time of ignoring the series. It got me into it, so it'll always have a place in my heart.

I wish we would get more fanart of guitar Rosalina from the artbook, but I guess that's asking for too much.

@Heavyarms55 Warriors Orochi 3 is really great. I put down Hyrule Warriors for like a week just to play that game. I wish I could see my play time on PS4 cause I'm pretty sure it's huge by now. Seeing as this has just about every character including new with new features to gameplay, I'm about to waste my whole life again once I get this...

@Yosher While it's true you'll probably enjoy it more if you know some of the characters, I wouldn't worry about that too much. With apparently 170, you're bound to find someone you like. That was the case for me when I jumped into the second game in this. (Warriors Orochi 2)

I love some of these characters so much that I want to go play the games they are from like Dynasty Warriors 8 and Samurai Warriors 4.

Haha, I knew most playable characters was exactly what it was going to be before I read this.
