I'm burning out on Pokopia. Played too much over the last week. I think it needs a few QoL features that were shockingly omitted. I can't call it a 10/10 game until then.
As a proud Genwunner I'm sad this was such a lazy job. Home transfer is going to be one way so you can't even complete the dex if you don't know anyone with the other version. I hate how GF and whoever develops Animal Crossing are so so lazy and know they can get by off the franchise popularity.
I can't get past the goofy art style, I think I will just play the original instead. Multiple reviews mentioning how it had its edges smoothed for modern audiences is always a red flag as well.
I miss when games had proper manuals, then they became leaflets, then nothing but you'd still get a leaflet advertising something else instead. Now you dont even get the game. I switched to digital years ago for convenience but it's sad to see.
Used to take the bus to GAME and Gamestop like 20 years ago for PC games. Both have been closed for years and I've not had any interest in visiting them anyway. Digital games and online stores are much better and cheaper. CEX has replaced them in my area but I don't go there either. There's no value in these stores anymore.
This game is a roguelite not a roguelike. It has permanent powerups that carry through subsequent runs. It's amazing how many websites mess that up. They're very distinct differences. A roguelike is a one and done thing. You start from 0 every time. So it's not even a pedantic thing.
Pokemon and Animal Crossing have been so lazily produced for years and it's a combination of brand equity and having a stranglehold on their type of games on Nintendo. The other big exclusives thankfully don't suffer from lack of effort.
@Browny Crisis Core was not subpar or mediocre. People who think they are critics loooove to abuse the term mediocre (usually followed with the words "at best").

Re: Poll: Who's Your Favourite Resident Evil Villain?
Has to be Wesker. Dimitrescu is severely overrated and just gained popularity as a meme.
Re: Community: Which Switch 1 Games Benefit Most From Switch 2's New Boost Mode?
Why is a game called Hentai House second in the poll? Shame on you guys. I thought this was a family console.

Re: PEGI Targets Loot Boxes With Its New Overhauled Ratings System
They're just age ratings that everyone ignores anyway. This will do absolutely nothing. The only relevant move is to ban gambling aspects entirely.
Re: Where To Buy Pokémon Pokopia For Nintendo Switch 2
@8bit-Man people who whine about game keys are just people who whine for the sake of it

Re: Review: Pokémon Pokopia (Switch 2) - One Of The Most Enticing Pokémon Games Ever
It's all silly really. People who want to collect physical editions are just hoarders. They served a purpose until digital came about.
Re: Poll: So, Which Starter Will You Choose In Pokémon Winds & Waves?
Charmander. Most starters have been awful for me so I just pull in a better looking one from one of the rare generations that had good starters.
Re: Pokémon Winds & Waves Will Be Released "Exclusively" For Switch 2
I wonder if they will bother to put effort into this one.
Re: "We Thought It Would Be Fun" - Nintendo Explains Why Pokémon FireRed & LeafGreen Aren't On Switch Online
Pokemon and Animal Crossing devs always do the least amount of work possible and expect to make lots of money.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Dragon Quest VII: Reimagined?
I hope the doll house style is a one off before they start going at other DQ games or Chrono Trigger.
Re: Square Enix Is Making Changes To Its New HD-2D Game Based On Demo Feedback
@DiamondJim DQ 7 remake looks horrible. HD-2D is infinitely better. I want them to do DQ 4-6 and FF 4-6 like that.
Re: Nintendo Showcases Every Switch And Switch 2 Partner Direct Game In New Infographic
Everyone is sleeping on Valheim. If performance is good that's a solid option.
I just want news on Xenoblade upgrades so I can binge 1 DE, and 3 on my S2. Most every other game on that image I favour my steam deck.

Re: Metroid Prime 4 & Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Imprisonment Sales Get Off To A Slow Start
@the_beaver a lot of FPS games are adventure games too. Doesnt mean it isn't an FPS game.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade?
@mackers84 30fps is literally not smooth and people telling you off aren't "trolls". People sure love using that word when their feelings are hurt.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade?
@hYdeks it isn't a remake it's a KH style sequel
Re: The Live-Action Zelda Movie Is Coming To Netflix
I wish it went straight to Netflix. Cinema is such an awful experience I just want everything to go straight to digital.

Re: Belkin's New Charging Case Pro For Switch 2 Looks Like A Huge Improvement
I already have a solid case plus a 24k and a 20k so i don't really see a need for this
Re: Review: Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader (Switch 2) - A Hard Pass For A Great Game
@Faruko The PS5 version is perfect.
Re: Review: Pokémon Legends: Z-A: Mega Dimension (Switch 2) - Repetition Takes The Shine Off
I love the gameplay style of the Legends games but I really hope grinding research tasks doesn't become a staple for every one they do.
Re: Cowabunga! TMNT Roguelike 'Splintered Fate' Is Heading To Switch 2 Next Week
This game is a roguelite not a roguelike. It has permanent powerups that carry through subsequent runs. It's amazing how many websites mess that up. They're very distinct differences. A roguelike is a one and done thing. You start from 0 every time. So it's not even a pedantic thing.
Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Update To Resolve Switch 2 Crashes And Stability Issues
Standard Ubisoft to release games with bugs and other issues. This doesn't surprise me at all.
Re: Metacritic Shares Updated List Of "Every Metroid Game, Ranked"
I've never played Metroid so I have no idea what is different about Prime. I assume it's the fps series?
Re: Mini Review: Red Dead Redemption: Nintendo Switch 2 Edition - The Update That This Epic Deserved
It's funny how this is the opposite of what push square are saying about the ps5 version.
Re: Reminder: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Is Available With A Switch Game Voucher
Would be better it you put the price in euro instead of the dollar.
Re: Metroid Prime 4's Official Rating Summary Spotted On ESRB Website
You guys are excited for Doom Lite just because it's Metroid
Re: Ongoing MicroSD Shortages Could Have A Knock-On Effect For Switch 2 Storage Availability
Got a 256GB easily on amazon a couple of weeks ago. Saw plenty of properly priced Mario editions in a nearby store.
Genuinely dont get why people chase 1TB. You're not going to need all that on a Switch 2 unless you're excessively recording videos
Re: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Finally Gets The Trailer We've Been Waiting For
Looks like a poor man's Doom without the fun gory bits.
