This movie would have failed epically if they tried to use normal Pokemon styling. It would have looked so cheesy and bad, the vast majority of people would be turned off.

This styling, with a more realistic take on the Pokemon, made this Trailer look like it was made for a MCU quality movie. This movie is probably going to be a huge success now and a big chunk of that success is going to be how successfully they made the Pokemon look like they belonged in the world.

A lot of Rose Colored Glasses in here.

I played Banjo Kazooie a few weeks ago and it looks pretty much like that.

I'm pretty sure most of the complaints about this game come from people who honestly don't remember how obnoxious N64 3D Platformers Really Were. Banjo in particular has what might be the worst controls in any game I have ever played.

Anyone else remember when this website used to like Nintendo?

@Grogan What is it lacking other than Party Chat and Text Messaging?

@parasnail No they don't. The vast majority of Online Multiplayer Games are Peer to Peer. The only Genre that Consistently uses Dedicated Servers for Online Multiplayer is Competitive Shooters.

Edit: and MMOs if you count that I guess.

I can't believe people are still pushing this ridiculous Peer to Peer network argument.

Nintendo only has one game that would benefit from dedicated servers. Splatoon. Why in the hell would they invest is a large scale server system for one game?

@Kimyonaakuma It's okay for it to be okay. The service will evolve over time. Maybe someday it will be great.

I can't really watch the Video RIght Now, but I dunno what possible complaints people could have about the Cloud Saves. It's basically perfect.

Software not supporting the Feature is a Flaw in the Software, not the Feature.

You can Activate Cloud Saves for Every Game or Pick and Choose which games you want to use the feature and if the cloud detects a conflict, it disables the Auto Cloud Save Feature until you review the Conflict.

The two best features that came out of this are:

You can now download your games on multiple Switches and if you disable cloud saves on the secondary switches, people can just use your profile to play your games.
OR
You can Set a second Persons console as your Primary Console and Set your Console as their Primary Console and share all your games between two consoles.

and

If you have a Profile on Multiple Switches Already, you can link your Nintendo Account to All of those Profiles and it will convert them into your Single Account and Compile all of your Saves in the Cloud. IF you have saves for the same game on two profiles, it will automatically disable cloud saving for that game until you pick the save you want and delete the other one.

@bonham2 You have to set the Kids console as your Primary Console, then they can play all of your games on their own profiles.

When you play on your own Switch, only you will be able to access your games on your Switch.

Just remember to password lock your account on their Switch so they cant buy anything.

Wow, this article still hasn't been corrected. This is just pathetic.

@FoxyGlen Fix your egregiously inaccurate article.

@TheFongz Everything in this article is factually incorrect.

NintendoLife needs to retract this article.

@chardir It's not. No game needs a patch for Cloud Saves to Works. They will be automatically activated for every game that has not requested the feature be disabled when the service launches.

@chardir Thats still not Thursday.

@Nater It does work. Don't believe anything in this article. It is 100% inaccurate.

Holy Freakin God what is happening on this website. They released a Third Article with this False information in it? Get another Source.

You're cloud saves are not deleted as soon as your subscription lapses. Nintendo will not guarantee that your Saves will be maintained if your subscription lapses. That is very different. They are not actively hunting down lapsed subscriptions and scrubbing their saves.

It is not up to developers to enable cloud saves. Cloud Saves are enabled by default. Developers have the option to request the feature be disabled. This is very very different.

Finally, Nintendo has already explicitly stated that if you sign in to another Nintendo Switch with your account, your saves will automatically be available.

"Save Data Cloud Backup
Players with a Nintendo Switch Online membership can save game data online for compatible games. Save data is linked to your Nintendo Account, so you can access it from any Nintendo Switch system by signing in and downloading your save data."

Edit:
" Yes, they're finally arriving on Thursday when the online service finally launches."

The service launches tomorrow.

Seriously who wrote this article? Did they do any research?

@1UP_MARIO I'm aware of that, but NintendoLife does not appear to be.

"and cloud save data appears to be immediately lost if your subscription comes to an abrupt halt."

with a Link to an Article that still incorrectly state that your Cloud Saves will be deleted.

Why is Nintendo Life of all places still promoting this false narrative that your Cloud Saves are immediately deleted in you lapse your subscription?

@MH4 got a cellphone?

Tether for 30 seconds.

@Mossii No, XI or X is a better point of entry.

Confirmed: Bethesda is working on the New Star Tropics Reboot!

@sikthvash I'm still holding out hope for the Family Plan to allow Game Sharing. That will be all the extra incentive I need. It's a long shot, but I guess we'll know tomorrow.

I could see how a 2 Member Plan could be Popular though.

@WiteWulf A bait and Switch would require them to have not been saying they were going to be making online require a Subscription from Before the Console Launched.

@sikthvash Wouldn't saving $5 by purchasing a Family Plan be the equivalent of having a discount for buying two memberships?

Welp, if you were questioning Nintendo's 20 Million Console Sales Target, you can stop now.

@VexingInsanity you can transfer your profile and all save data between two switches without cloud saves.

@sikthvash you can transfer her whole profile which moves the save data with it.

Typical over reaction from the masses.

These games don't support it for a reason.

If your worried about Splatoon, use the Ammibo save backup.

Sounds like a case of an indie developer wanting the perks of being a Nindie, without actually giving Nintendo anything in return.

Nintendo had laid our pretty specifically that if an independent developer wants their backing the game must be

Exclusive
Have Exclusive Content
Release First on Switch
Or
Use Unique Platform Features

@MegaMari0 Jokes on you. You're Wife's making you buy it twice.

@blockfight With the PS4 in its Prime Sales years in 2017 and 2018, is pretty surprising for the Switch to take the top Spot at all.

Most consoles sell better in year 3, 4 and 5 than year 1 and 2 by a very wide margin.

Always new Digimon was the Edgier Monster Friend Game, but wow. Looks they are lookin to get some of that Persona money huh?

Probably for the best. We could use a transitional RPG of this style in the world.

I'm not usually a Graphics person, but this looks really not good.

Wow, whole lot of people spewing BS about RPGs in here huh?

Pokemon: Let's Go is a Dumbed Down RPG because they removed random battles, the single most loathed mechanic of JRPGS since the NES?

Pokemon go is now Easy because you don't have to fight Random Battles? Which pokemon game was Hard because of Random Battles? Literally all this is changing is that you don't have to spend a bunch of in-game currency on Repel.

You still have to go out and hunt for pokemon to catch

You still only have a very small chance of catching a shiny

You still have to battle all of the trainers en-route to your next destination

You still have to battle Legendary Pokemon

You still have to battle Gym Leaders.

God forbid you don't have to stop every 5 seconds to one shot random obnoxious pokemon or walk in circles for 7 hours to level up a new pokemon.

Sounds like they had a good Idea, but just didn't go the extra mile.

@OorWullie The word out of E3 is that Starlink is an incredibly competent, and potentially good, open world Star Fox 64-esk title.

The Toys to Life portion of the Game is Not required to Play, unlike other games in the Genre.

@countzero Yeah, but no one is going to reverse it. They'll just keep them wireless until they lose or break the original cord and then they will throw it away when the rest of it stops working.

I don't think I could bring myself to destroy these controllers, just to make them wireless. They are a diminishing commodity.

@NinjaAceTrainer Yeah, that would look like Standard Play if she wasn't playing in an X Rank Match. A 9 Kill 2 Death Shutout in Clam Blitz at X Rank is phenomenal.

@Yorumi Institutional Racism does not mean it is enshrined in law, it means it has been, in most cases accidentally though sometimes intentionally, built in to the function of large scale organizations that effect the population as a whole.

Treating people differently based on race, even if purely out of habit and not malice, is still racism.

@AlbertXi Being politically correct is for the best to a certain level, but when it gets to the Fascist level of Censoring Cartoons because someone may possibly be offended by taking something out of context, it's time to recalculate.

@gatorboi352 They List 28 Supported titles on their Page.

Wow, I've never been sold by a Pre-order bonus in my Life and that just got me.

I want the SNES Game more than I want FighterZ.

@Baldspur There are 9 Significant Retail Games releasing between Now and August. Of those Games, Mario Tennis and Captain Toad are the only First Party Games. Seven Third Party Releases in 2 and a Half Months, is not Bad Third Party Support.

Crash N Sane
Octopath Traveler
Monster Hunter
Wolfenstein
DarkSouls
Ys VII
The Lost Child

They need to just do this already. Does anyone need Netflix and YouTube on their Switch? No, but this is a bad conversation to keep in the headline.

I hope they all get Perma-banned.

Pokemon Quest may not be the highest quality game out there, but somebody put time and effort into making this game. Stealing it is not kool.

@thesilverbrick You have no Idea if EVs have Been Removed. They very well could have been kept in place or changed to a new better system. The Whole IV/EV System has been completely broken since the series came out anyway. Random encounters, on the other hand, have always been the Worst Part of Pokemon. They suck when you're trying to Travel, they suck when you're Trying to Collect Pokemon and they Suck when you're trying to Train Pokemon. I can't think of a single Positive reason to keep random Encounters in the game. You could make the argument that you should have to fight to weaken wild Pokemon, but the only thing that ever really added to the game was accidentally killing a weak Pokemon you were trying to catch. The only battles that actually matter in a Pokemon game are trainer battles and legendary battles.

@thesilverbrick Is there anything you don't hate? Of course those things are gone. This is a Pokemon YELLOW remake. Those things did not exist in Pokemon Yellow.

@sashj Huh. I wonder if that means they are going to use the Pokemon GO Leveling System then and have the Pokemon's level Directly linked to the Trainer's level or something.
