As dull as I find the game, this is just sad and childish.

You have no idea how much my little nephew wanted one of those. Maybe I should get drunk, might have more luck.

@JaxonH I have played the game. I bought it for my bros birthday and played it with him for a few hours and found the whole experience dull, just like I found Pokemon Go dull. They've also made the battles even easier, super effective moves just destroy the other Pokemon in one. I think my dad could play this and never lose a battle.

I'm happy people are enjoying it, but if this is what Pokemon games are going to become then I won't be playing them anymore. I've never understood the argument that it was made for causal gamers so they understand what to do. I was 7 years old when Pokemon Red came out and had no problem understanding it.

I'm happy that people are enjoying it, but I hope they keep the Pokemon Go mechanics out of the main series.

So happy about this. Since it was enabled the performance has been terrible on Switch.

Not something I'm going to play, I have no interest in Pokemon Go style game play. Hopefully the proper Pokemon game is worth the wait.
I have bought this and the Pokeball Plus controller for my brothers birthday. He and his 5 year old boy will enjoy it.

It's not even remotely scary, just streamers overreacting. It's barely even a game.

It was funny floating back down, beautiful new island with a rainbow, but on ground level it was war with people dying left, right and centre lmao

Problem is still far too often games "aren't possible on Switch" This will happen more in the next few years.

Games from last gen are easy to do but current gen ones are a lot harder. Sure we could have a Switch Pro that could play certain games, but that would split the community. Developers wouldn't develop for it, look at the tiny list the new 3DS games that are released. Because the install size is small, they don't see the money in it.

I thought the young developers were the ones making this in the first place, whilst the more senior guys are making the actual Pokemon game.
This isn't a mainline game either, it's a spinoff.

The most pointless thing they have ever added, especially as we can re-deploy gliders.

Nope...
1: Cloud gaming is trash even with fast broadband, nothing you can do will compensate for the input lag
2: You are at the mercy of EA servers
3: You don't own anything you play
4: EA

Not something I want, just that short video hurt my eyes. Going back and playing 8 and 16 bit 2D games is fine, but the 64 bit 3d era is painful. It's why I won't be buying the PS classic, back in the day when it was the best we had it looked good, but now it's just painful to look at.

The amount of times I've pressed the wrong button. I should be used to it, as it's just the normal control scheme Dark Souls has always used.

The one thing I want changing, that's the audio. Why has the audio been compressed so much? The instal size is the same as the original, so what is going on with it. Using the Switch speakers it's fine, because they are poor anyway, but using TV, sound system or headphones and the audio is terrible.

If they got rid of the logo and just had the red and black theme I'd buy it. It would look sick.

Ahh Huawei, the company that always lies about what their hardware can do. Good luck with that.

@diwdiws Or Mass Effect

"if you make content readily available, then people won't resort to piracy"

PC says otherwise. Games are readily available, piracy is still rampant.

What's even the point of running a poll if they didn't get the result they clearly wanted.

I don't care, even though I did pay for it. I care more about the staff who have had their world turned upside down. Telltale how about working this hard to give staff their severance pay that they are entitled to.

This is yet another game I'll have to start again, thanks to Nintendo. How they lost all my data when they replaced the battery in my Switch I don't know, but I'm furious atm.

"Nintendo's approach is to do things *differently"

*Stupidly

Yeah him finding another game isn't going to happen is it, unless he can find another one to make hue profits from.

It's the first game in the series I've played and absolutely loved it. I didn't even know I liked games in this genre.

I'll stick to playing with my real doggy, and soon to be second dog when I get a Pug next month 😁

If Sony actually backed the Vita it could have been amazing. When it came out it was an amazing bit of kit for a handheld. If Sony ever did create another one I won't be buying it, I loved the Vita but Sony just abandoned it so fast I don't trust them.

Well I guess you can't please everyone.

Not sure I should talk about this here, but I will anyway. When the Switch and Zelda came out I was suffering from depression and had been for 2 months. Meds and counselling did nothing for me. Then I started playing BOTW and started feeling happy, the fact that I found it fun when I had no motivation to play or do anything before it says a lot.

By the time I finished the game I wasn't on meds or counselling, which shows the power of gaming to help people in a positive way and I've been in a good place ever since.

Some of the staff seem relieved, they were treated as sub humans. 7 day weeks, unpaid overtime that they were expected to do. Not being given enough time to make games, it was all about getting games out of the door as fast as possible. No communication from bosses or any organisation. Even now the communications guy hasn't been told what is going on, all he knows is he has 1 week left before he's gone. He wasn't told this was coming.

All of this isn't just happening at Telltale, it's a problem in the gaming industry as a whole, which is why they want unions.

A friend of mine was a game developer and I watched him go from being a happy outgoing guy, to a miserable recluse. Thankfully he got out and now develops software. He always wanted to make games, but good developers/publishers are few and far between.

@Spudworthy You get cloud saves for free on Xbox and not just for certain games.
Yeah it might be "cheap" but at the end of the day it's still something that was free before and they haven't made the online experience any more robust.

Provide proper in-game voice chat, allow us to setup parties so we can easily get into games together, you know stuff that other online services offer, then I might stop grumbling.

If you're going to force paid online gaming, then you need a robust online experience.
In game chat is already possible in Fortnite, although it's not the best it's a lot better than having to use a phone app. If I wanted to use my phone for voice chat is just use Skype or Discord

I still don't why this is a thing when Switch supports voice chat on it's own.

And I don't have my Switch, so unhappy right now 😡

I'd love to play any game on Switch right now, but the battery broke and so it's sent to be repaired. Problem is Nintendo UK are doing a stock check and so can't bring any other parcels in. It's a 3 week wait, which means I won't have my Switch back before my birthday which sucks, thanks Nintendo...

@Romeo-75 You don't think Fortnite is popular? Christ, go look at the player count and then come back here and try and say that with a straight face. It's popular with everyone, when I join random teams only once has one of them been a kid. I've even teamed up with a guy in his 50s

I met my girl friend because of this game, she's in her early 20s and I'm in my late 20s

Weird, because I met someone because of Fortnite 😁

@thesilverbrick Pretty much yes. I'll be paying regardless as I play Switch games online, it doesn't have a lot going for it though. The only thing it does have is the price compared go the other consoles, but then you get some pretty amazing games with those subs.

@DarthFoxMcCloud Yeah let's gloss over that fact that A: Some people only use headphones for gaming, and B: The Switch already has built in chat as Fortnite proved, when Nintendo led people to believe it's not possible.

It it was the first and second game I'd be interested, but 3 onwards went totally off the rails and away from everything the first two built up.
3 wasn't terrible unlike the 4th and Gat out of hell, so I suppose there's that.

Because of how under developed the E-shop already is, games get buried fast. Unless you're on your Switch all the time or know what good games are coming, it's very easy to miss a gem of a game as it gets burried.

Still eagerly awaiting this game. I had no interest in getting it for Xbox One X, as I've already played it at 60fps at a high resolution on PC, so it didn't really offer anything new for me.
Being able to take Dark Souls wherever I go is a massive plus for me.

There will never be another Iwata. He loved Nintendo, he loved his job, he loved computer games and we loved him. Gone far too soon, but he brought joy to millions of people lives.

Lol it was also dreadful on the other consoles and has been for years. They aren't focused on making the best product for fans, they are interested in milking the name. Year on year the same issues crop up, so that shows not much effort is put into the product.

The only issue I have is scratches caused by the stupid dock even though I've always been careful

Powerful isn't the word I'd use, slim is more accurate.
It seems stupid to not announce games during the biggest show of the year where lots of eyes are watching. If like me you have no interest in Smash, or Pokemon Go Switch then it was a pretty disappointing E3.

I still love my Switch obviously, but not striking whilst the iron is hot seems like a mistake, you need go keep getting more people to buy the console, with such a slim E3 that's not going to happen.

@N64SNESU Not really, especially with the joy cons disconnected. Compared to my n3ds XL it's not that much bigger. Not sure what part is fragile, I guess if you don't look after stuff then you will break it, but then that means you also break your mobile phone.
Battery life isn't an issue, most people these days have portable chargers because phones suck so much battery. My Switch is almost exclusively used as a portable as my 3DS has been retired.

I thought the whole point was the Switch was both handheld and home console. Imo they'd be better off working on a home console if they had to release something else. The Switch is already an amazing handheld, they don't need another one.

The big benefit of the Switch is Nintendo can focus on one system and satisfy portable and tv play.

Not surprised, it's s gem of a game. Also with the price it's set as you're pretty much stealing it. I hope this developer continues to make a lot of money from this game, as they totally deserve it.

@kirbygirl I mean I love high end graphics and resolution, that's why I own so many systems. But I knew what I was getting when I got the Switch, gaming is about having fun, I have fun gaming on pretty much anything with proper controls. Considering what the Switch is, I think it does great and quite often punches above what should be possible on the system.

@sixrings Yes because I have a 4K TV. But if that bothers you then it was silly to buy a Switch. It's comparable to a last gen console, getting 1080p with all games is extremely hard, even for the og Xbox One. If you want the best graphics and resolution then buy something that matches your needs.

I have an Xbox One X, PS4 Pro and PC, but I still love gaming on my Switch as I know it's limitations.

@sixrings Zelda BOTW doesn't run at 1080p and that's a first party game.
Nintendo didn't develop this game, so no it's not their problem. Cartoon graphics doesn't equal easier to render, quite often it requires more than a realistic game if you are using lots of effects and post processing. I'd suggest before commenting on what is easier or harder to render you either do some research or mess about in the Unreal engine and have a go at coding a game yourself.

It amazes me the amount of Switch owners that worry about graphics and resolution. Surely you know when buying a Switch it's going to be highly limited as a hybrid console. It doesn't turn into a monster when docked, it's still using the same hardware as handheld, just with higher clocks.
