Re: Animal Crossing Series 5 amiibo Cards Launch This November, 48 Cards Included

Jaguar11891

I have completed every series so far only because I traded with a bunch of people. But this series may be tough to do that.

Looking at the numbers, #425-448 are all Villagers and #401-422 look to be NPC cards since they tend to be grouped together. We can assume it is going to be 24 NPC and 24 Villagers.

Thing is you get 1 NPC card per pack with 5 villager cards (at least in the Americas). Which was never a problem before when you had 18-19 NPC cards and like 80 villagers per series. It you bought 100 cards in a given series, it was easy to trade NPC for NPC and villager for villager.

But with Series 5, if you get 8 packs to get 48 total cards to trade, everyone will have 8/24 NPCs and 40/24 villagers. So the series will be over saturated with villager cards and the NPC ones will be extremely rare in comparison. So oddly enough Raymond will be EXTREMELY easy to get with someone like Tom Nook being rare.

Funnily enough, Raymond will probably still sell for a lot on eBay despite having little over a 20% chance to get him from a single pack.

Re: Video: How To Play Rare And Expensive Nintendo Games On A Budget

I use either flash carts or ODEs with ROMs or ISOs for my retro consoles, usually a generation or 2 behind. Cost the same as a single game now and days and I get the authentic console experience.

I like buying games to support the developers so they can use that money to make more games I want. So current gen stuff, I buy in stores all the time. But on the second hand market, exorbitant amounts of money goes to some random person or GameStop.

So technically it is pirating. But if a publisher rereleases a classic game, I’ll tend to buy it in support if I played it (like Collection of Mana, Shantae on the VC, Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light on Switch, etc.). I like to think of it as paying for the experience I had already even if I never play the newer version.

Plus with 20+ year old games and drives, starting to rot and break, I don’t see a point on buying old retro games (especially disc based one) for hundreds of dollars each.

Re: A Xenosaga Collection Was Scrapped Due To Profitability Concerns

That’s disappointing. I was really excited when I heard the rumors. This would of been a day one purchase for me.

I didn’t get into the series until Operation Rainfall brought Xenoblade Chronicles over to the West. Instantly became a fan. Finally became aware of Xenosaga from the cameos of KOS-MOS and Telos in XB2. I have been wanted to play those games since but have no way of doing it.

With the Xeno series gaining popularity through the new Xenoblade games and a Smash character slot, I’m sure I’m not the only one that would love a collection but their concerns are understandable.

Re: There Are "No Plans" To Bring The Full Pokédex To Pokémon Sword And Shield, And Future Games Will Follow Suit

The thing that baffles me is that didn’t GameFreak create HD models for EVERY Pokémon and EVERY form in Sun and Moon to future-proof them? They just downgraded those models for the 3DS games.

I would be understanding for cutting more than half of all the Pokémon if the remade ALL the models and attack animations from the ground up, but ALL the returning Pokémon in ALL the trailers for SW/SH seem to use those same exact HD models and attack animations from S/M. Maybe I’m missing something but it seem very plausible to include them all in this game with that.

Re: Pokémon GO Has Lost 79 Percent of its Paying Population

I want to play Pokemon Go but stopped since they took away tracking. I was tired of losing Porygons, Snorlaxes, Charizards, and other rare Pokemon that were "close" to me only to disappear after hunting them for hours in a 3 km radius in every direction. If Niantic fixed this, I would of kept playing.
