@EarthboundBenjy They wouldn't have no reason, they just wouldn't be upfront about it.

I'm guessing it's due to music licensing? Seems like the main reason games get taken down these days

I went through the whole article that was linked to the tweet...and they were too ambitious.

The choices they made are truly ridiculous. A decade ago they were making 3DS games, and now they want an open world full of Pokémon? And if the hardware wasn't struggling enough, lets give players a high speed motorbike of a Pokémon...that also flies. Let's see the mess from all angles!

First impression? Great! Cool!
...still haven't bought the second one though 😅

I'm surprised they didn't make him say everything they might ever need, to the point where they could generate the sentences themselves.
Hopefully the next voice is good! But I remember him doing multiple voices for the series so he'll be hard to replace...

Suppose I can transfer over my old Pokémon in an attempt to have a "national dex", but I'm still unsure about buying the DLC

It feels inevitable with any online store, but it's a shame. I remember when the Switch eShop didn't have a ton of games, but there were some real gems there! Anything of its sort would go under the radar these days.

Personally I'm not venturing beyond my wishlist, but I shouldn't have to curate my own eShop in the first place...

I'm only a few years older and managed to play most of those, the GameCube is hardly a relic

Could have easily have played them on a Wii (or PC...)

Does it look a little NSFW? Sure.
...but who's taking that to work?

As long as it's a plush I don't think it will be getting much done.

At this point, it is what it is. I'm not losing sleep over it.
I'd love if they elaborated on paradox Pokémon more, or gave legendary Pokémon back their "legendary" status (story events, special areas etc). There should be more to paradox Pokémon than "it looks like something from a book".

Who wouldn't want a vaguely greasy card with a Sandaconda on it?
Solid marketing right there

Do you like the smell of teenagers? Sweaty running shoes? Instant ramen?

Then buy the Ryuji Sakomoto candle today! A pungent aroma that will leave you thinking "I bought this for $20? FOR REAL!?"

Maybe it's a shame but I can't say, pretty sure I didn't finish the demo.

But it's Ubisoft, I didn't trust them in the first place.

It's the Coconut Mall cars all over again!

Hopefully it's a similar situation and they (kinda) fix it. But this seems like a bigger project

Happy to see Daisy Cruiser, and while I'm not a huge fan of the Tour tracks....they have been getting better (somewhat).

Not long to wait either way, that's the good news

In terms of gameplay? They're all pretty fun.

But in terms of the "personality" they're given, it has to be the Purple pikmin!

Looking forward to it! Finished P5R around April (I think?), and I couldn't get enough of the gameplay and style.

...the cast is another story, I need a break from them. Especially when Persona characters are always worse in the spin offs

Didn't realise Indie had so many games! Loved the first Lego game a ton as a kid, my copy of the sequel was faulty

...I suppose that reflects on the quality of the Crystal Skull.

Probably Kamek? But if I'm honest, I will try them all on the new cups, and never use them again.

I'm sure it will be a fun half an hour though.

It's correct...but also incorrect? The Switch is a big gaming platform, but serves a different niche.

I've always had a Nintendo console by default, and then swapped between PlayStation and PC for other games each generation.

I did notice a substantial difference, especially in the models themselves (2D not so much).

I prefer what Q did, but I'm sure these will animate better. Persona Q's cast mainly stood around and talked

"New and different" doesn't really suggest if it's good or bad?

Suppose we'll have to wait and see!

It seems unlikely, but I'd like to be proven wrong.

I can't see them confirming P5 Tactica and then saving Reload for another time. Even if Tactica is technically "a smaller game", they would never treat it that way with their announcements and marketing.

Would like to see more gameplay. As for the visuals....I'm unsure? It's like Persona Q2 but worse?

They could have taken the "New Cinema" Outfits from Royal and I would have been fine. They were far cuter, this gives more of a mobile game feel.

Pretty sure it was included in a Steam bundle I own...still haven't felt tempted to play it.

Would have happily bought the first trilogy, or the first reboot...or even the most recent trilogy. Anything but this.

Managed to complete my Pokédex after Home support was added, so there isn't much point.

...but I'm glad they were able to fix their own event? Hopefully there's more than raid events before the DLC

And I thought my teen years were over! Apparently not, thanks for the news.

It's three waves per year, there's always another update coming "soon"

They have been getting better though, can't wait too see how bad the first wave looks by the end.

Nice to see Daisy Circuit come back, hopefully it's a good remake. Especially as it will be the base if it comes to the Booster Course Pass.

Some of the Tour remakes have been a little sterile and that affects the DLC
But they have been getting better! Just a shame they won't patch up the old ones.

People thought Sword and Shield were bad at the time, but at this point in the year we had Home compatibility for months. And the first DLC was only a few weeks away.
-and I remember everyone complaining about ugly trees, not broken saves and events.

...suddenly that seems impressive.

Still waiting for that Pokémon Home patch, or you know...any update that's relevant. It's probably for the best that they're holding off though.

At least when there are headlines about saves corrupting, the Pokémon are new. It'll be worse when you import your collections from GBA/DS era and they get corrupted.

Nintendo, (and by extension, a lot of traditional Japanese devs) seem to go by the rules of "this is how it is designed, so this is how you should experience it". There's not a ton of flexibility there. And if that perspective is changing...it's not happening fast.

While it's probably harsh, if you have a disability...surely you realise that some things just won't be for you? Or if you pursue it, it will be more difficult than the average person? I wouldn't say that's limited to gaming.
All the respect to those that go for it and the people making accessible controllers...but it can't be a rewarding experience. Especially when something is supposed to be recreational.

Of all the lootbox games...this really wasn't the worst? I was never a hardcore player and still have a ridiculous amount of racers/karts/gliders.

...I'd be more concerned about their kid stealing that much money, whether it was accidental or not.

Couldn't they at least given the opposite paradox Pokémon to each version?

They should have done DLC 1 in summer like with Sword and Shield, the current game has nothing left to offer me.

I still need to finish the last remaster, I remember the controls being a problem.

Definitely a series where I like the idea more than the experience itself

Played Persona 1-5, including most of the alternate versions

...I'm hearing no Persona whatsoever. It's very Xenoblade.

I'll take it! I don't have one anyway (haven't played multiplayer)

Didn't they just release a digital bundle which included Persona 3 Portable/Persona 4 Golden for less? And I don't mean less than the trilogy - less than buying one of them individually!

At least those would have sold at a higher price, Etrian Odyssey is a harder sell

I do enjoy Bangkok Rush, and the Amsterdam/Singapore ones look nice...but that's a lot of Tour tracks. Especially when you're throwing in a random DS one I hardly remember. There are better courses out there but it's a decent mix.

But have I already paid for it? Yes
Will I play it on release day? Of course!
...So I'll shut up

If his fellow inmates discover Balan Wonderworld then good luck to him...

Hopefully he can just say "yeah...I'm the Sonic guy. Back when it was still good!"

The DLC was the best part, they must have known as they made us wait.

...and I'm not even sure if I want to buy it! I've not been interested enough to finish the main game as it is. DLC and post game raids aren't enticing.

I wasted money on a few amiibo for BotW, bought the season pass too.
...did I wear the costumes either of those entitled me to? Hardly.

Maybe if it's on sale, but that'll be years from now

I prefer the interiors, but I bet it's magical to go!

... especially once/if the crowds go away

To be honest, I wouldn't be mad with Explorers of Sky DX. I'll buy my childhood games again...I'm not that smart.

I'd like to be pleasantly surprised, but it's going to be a physical version with the DLC included isn't it?

I remember being confused/unimpressed by the DLC before it came out

The track looks great - way better than the last original one!
Birdo is a welcome addition but it is an odd choice. Hopefully more are added afterwards - even if it's just old characters in new outfits. Tour has plenty of those

@Sisilly_G Furfrou is a good bargaining chip if you're looking for a trade. I think they lose their trims when moved from the 3DS games, so transferring from GO is the only option (for now)

I would pay, but I was already concerned about affording it. I'll get it after the summer.

I was fine with BotW costing extra, I felt more cheated by the DLC if anything. Didn't feel worth it at the time, maybe if I was replaying it.

@orbots I had completely forgotten about the basic plan! I was thinking it was more of a "pay or we'll delete them all!" kind of situation.

Thanks

My renewal is coming up soon and I'd love to cancel it. Most of my Gen 1-4 Pokémon are now stuck in Shining Pearl, and the rest are in Shield or Home. Holding them hostage until they update the latest games isn't fun

You're better off catching Pokémon in their respective games now - it's not like legendaries are as hard to come by these days.

I enjoyed the remake - not as much as the original, but it looked nice. Even the 2D art was good! My only issue was the removal of explorable friend areas.

A remake of explorers of sky would be fine for me. I know there has been so many Pokémon added since the 3DS days, but the earlier games were far better.
