I'm genuinely gutted that this happened to the Switch and not the Wii U, which is objectively a far superior console. I'm just worried that Nintendo will keep putting out consoles full of ports and no features/apps
@Joeynator3000 you haven’t looked st the DLC properly then, Crown Tundra is gen 3 levels of content and fun Don’t get me wrong I’m aware that SwSh are more bland and dead than Gen 1 but, Crown Tundra has like 50 hours worth of content, and it doesn’t drag
@Toy_Link I think having a free game where every purchase is purely cosmetic is pretty consumer friendly In a free game where you can't buy an advantage you can't rly call that anti-consumer
@SalvorHardin So you agree with Apple's business practise of taking way money than they need to from companies? You think that if a company publishes a free game on the App Store, Apple should take all that money? Damn, that's just low
Imagine letting your opinion on Fortnite get in the way of the actual issue Can't stand all these 50+ gamers that are like "KiDs GaMe BaD", like honestly grow up lmao Look at the issue instead of being a snarky little kid and thinking "lol no popular thing bad REEEEEEE"
@Seanvstherobots I see what you were attempting But firstly it was grammatically all over the place, and secondly shows that you DO understand my point
Zacian sounds like the name of either a very tanned fashion designer, or a really horrible chav kid Its mental how the name can sound classy AND low-life at the same time. Like Zacian could have siblings called Kyler, Dylan and Shannon
@Seanvstherobots im about to teach you a word thatll save you a whole lot of time. Instead of “he/she/it”, there’s one simple word/pronoun that represents all or none of those words! It’s the word “they”. For situations like this, AND for when you meet non-binary people.
What can we EXPECT? The same nonsense as usual but with anniversary branding, probably.
Hopefully they have the sense to drops Gens 1, 2 and 3 on the eShop with HOME support, with each Gen being a £10 collection in the run-up to DP remakes. But this would require Game Freak not only having a good idea, but also thinking of doing something that fans want. Which simply does not happen.
@PBandSmelly Thanks so much for this, now I know not to buy it. I don't know if you're telepathically linked to Game Freak or you've played a game that hasn't even been announced yet but, the fact that you KNOW that this unannounced game will be objectively bad is extremely helpful. Your endless wisdom is much appreciated
@Anti-Matter Aye, I'm autistic too so I get the struggle with moving with the times and needing to collect things etc Although I went digital a while ago and honestly It's so much more convenient to just be able to pick whatever game you want without swapping cartridges out etc, means I don't have to bring cartridges with me when I go out
I still get Pokemon physically though, that's the only game I care about owning physically aha
"Cons: the new title sucks" is dumber than 7.8/10 too much water The title isn't even part of the game, sometimes I wish actual game fans and skilled journalists would do reviews

@JuiceMan_V I do indeed intensely dislike laziness I also intensely dislike most of SwSh, but because I have a working brain I am able to like aspects of it, including Pokemon and character designs
30 seconds of footage from an old trailer of a 6 year old game This is one of the most offensive and lazy things Nintendo has ever done, like they've actually outdone their own hideous incompetence
@Jayofmaya Well damn, I thought THE GAME AWARDS had the say in what was GOTY, what with it being THE GAME AWARDS and everything. But nope, apparently they're wrong, and Jayofmaya from a Nintendo forum has the final say
What I want: -Skyward Sword HD -Ocarina Of Time HD -Every 2D Zelda on Nintendo Classics or at least eShop -BOTW announced as the Holiday 2021 release
What we'll get -Skyward Sword and Ocarina Of Time as separate £20 eShop downloads but are emulated the same way as Mario Galaxy and 64 -BOTW 2 as the Holiday 2021 game
What the Switch needs: -A VC library to the standard of the Wii, Wii U and 3DS -Home menu customization to the standard of the 3DS -Internet Browser, Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, iPlayer (just like the Wii) and Disney+ -Twitch streaming integration that uses the Switch App as the camera (this isn't too much to ask because Twitch streaming is a standard across other consoles)
What the Switch gets -An NSO hub -Showing what your friends are playing
What should happen: -DP remakes -New Pokemon Snap -Pokemon Unite -Pokemon Sleep -Detective Pikachu 2 -Gen 3 collection on the eShop with HOME compatibility
What will happen: -Gen 1 on the eShop with each game being £10 and delisted on March 31st -DP remakes but the battle zone and Sinnoh underground is gone entirely -Pokemon Unite -Some sort of new mobile game
I'm so glad I read this article AFTER Mew was dealt with As a Fortnite player who hates Star Wars and is currently well invested in Age Of Calamity, this whole page could've been a outrageous trainwreck for me
Imagine telling people that a game you're making that's out in a month won't be finished on release.
Also the way I see it, if you're making content for a game that won't be included when said game releases, the game is incomplete and that content should be free. Paid DLC on a full price game is just not a thing that should have ever started happening
@jump Of course, you'd know all about what inspired the devs to make this game You'd think the dev team would know what inspired them, but nope, Jump from Nintendolife's comment section knows what's up Thank you for enlightening us with your expert knowledge on Ubisoft, the development process of this game, and the inspiration behind this game. I'm so glad that we have people like you, a random citizen, to give us the TRUTH on what inspires developers to make games. The developers themselves don't know what they're talking about, what do they know? They're only the people that make the game.
It hurts that I don't agree with everything here but I'd take ANY of it over what we have now Idk man I've loved Pokemon since it first came out over here, like I'm bored of Shield already and I'm replaying HeartGold which I'm still finding vastly superior (for the record, I don't play with nostalgia goggles, I HATE Gen 1 with a passion because It's just so bad now)
Cafe Mix can't share a save file between mobile and Switch versions, I don't think Nintendo know about technology beyond 2005. The Switch having less features than the DSi and Wii is evidence of this.
