Possibility it’s anything to do with the upcoming DK park at Super Nintendo World, and impending DK character-themed bands to go along with it? They can communicate with phones (and maybe the Switch) right?

@Olliemar28 “the service is known as 'Wild Care'”

It’s called *Wide Care, as it states in the image imbedded in the article. I assume ‘Wild’ is a translation error copied over from Video Games Chronicle.

Probably Pokémon Legends, then either Mario Strikers or Portal Collection, haven’t had enough of a chance to really try too much of the latter yet. Couldn’t get into Kirby at release, I’ll have to try again soon.

As this is the only thing in the Direct I was interested in, glad to hear it’s releasing today.

@iLikeUrAttitude Same, I honestly don’t get the hype lol. Watched friends play both of the Zelda ones, and the gameplay just doesn’t really seem that interesting to me at all.

Louarn seemed relatively unconcerned with Nintendo's eagerness to end his exploits:
"They hate me. I bet that in Tokyo, they posted my picture in an office.“

After making a living from pirating their products for 30 years, you’d think he might know that Nintendo HQ is in Kyoto 🤔

@jowe_gw I wasn’t asking the question lol, hence the quotation marks. I was referring to a line in the above article.

EDIT: Which has now been corrected.

@AlanaHagues “…if the game is ready, and has been for more than a year, when will we be getting it*?”

@KingMike Yeah. So we’re in agreement? Unless you’re stating that the Cerulean & Cinnabar are the only in-game trades that were changed, I’m not disputing any of that haha. I own and have completed English Red, Blue & Yellow, and JP Green & Blue. I’m stating that it’s as different to Red & Green as those two are to each other, and of the 4 Gen I versions available in Japan, it’s JP Blue that we didn’t get, because Western Blue is effectively the same as Green, aside from bug fixes and different sprites.

@Zenszulu Literally the only difference are the sprites and the bug fixes lol, the latter of which is extremely common in the localisation process of any game. It’s akin to saying that the Japanese and Western versions of Super Mario 64 or Super Smash Bros. Melee are completely different games because some bugs were fixed and the Topis look different on the latter’s Infinite Glacier stage. Nobody is going to play both Japanese and Western Red and think “ah yes, these are two completely different games”. Most people that have played Western Blue would play the Japanese release and realise that some of the Pokémon that could only be obtained by trading with NPCs, such as Lickitung & Jynx, are now catchable, multiple Pokémon are encountered in different locations, & there are Pokémon from both Red & Green/Western Blue that are missing. JP Blue is and always was intended to be Japan’s ‘3rd Version’ of Gen I; Yellow is just an addition to that.

@Zenszulu You wouldn’t really say that if you’d played them all. Sure, Western Red & Blue were based on Japanese Blue’s build, thus have the same sprites and are (slightly) less buggy, but in terms of the version exclusives, the Game Corner prices, the in-game trades etc, Western Red & Blue is identical gameplay-wise to Japanese Red & Green. Japanese Blue is completely unique in those aspects.

“And that's how Pokémon Red and Blue (or Red and Green in Japan) came to be. One other version was eventually released - Pokémon Yellow, starring Pikachu.”

Japan actually got Red, Green, Blue & Yellow. Japanese Blue is still the only main series game that was never released in the West.

@Damo "His legal team also explained the rather *harrowing nature of his confinement"

@AlanaHagues *Shining in the Darkness

@AlanaHagues “and a second LLC which *becomes the film production company”

@AlanaHagues “Yukawa stepped into the role of managing director in 1998 and *became an unlikely star…”

R.I.P. Mr. Yukawa.

@AlanaHagues Gootball?

@SimonCucho Ngl, I loved Undertale and its music, but I did not like the Battle Tower music from SwSh at all and felt it didn't suit Pokemon whatsoever. At least this time it seems he composed the theme, which has then been arranged by Game Freak. I thought the music in the trailer was fairly decent.

Edit: @Flint That's a great way of putting it.

@KingMike And abducted and caged a gorilla, forcing its son to rescue it.

Why is this news? Mario has been kicking Yoshi in the face for decades now 😂

I own the original Japan-only Pokémon Stadium, that I can’t play as I don’t have a Japanese N64, but I have rarer games than that that I can play, like Virtual Boy games etc.

@AlanaHagues *big

…sorry, I had to 😂

@AlanaHagues "*While the 1986 one had some interesting Zelda illustrations and a cute, bug-eyed Link, this 1992 book *is a lot closer to the art and design that we know and love."

@ChromaticDracula Agreed. This looks better than any of the existing Pokémon Switch games imo. Would be a dream come true

@AlanaHagues “Square Enix’s response”? Or “Square Enix responds”?

Too little too late. As @Silly_G stated, this is something that actually should be part of NSO. The asking price is extreme, considering Box, Ranch, Bank, and any other predecessors I may be forgetting. Whole thing is an absolute shambles.

@Liam_Doolan “Fire/*Psychic-type Delphox”

@Tyranexx Literally came here to say that the complete lack of WarioWare titles is shocking

@BloodNinja Not sure if you saw the link that @westman98 posted, but that article is a good example of Naka being a bully, to answer your question

@alanahagues *beginning, first line of third paragraph

@JakedaArbok Was said horse beaten to death in its own… stable?

I guess I’m very stupid and hideous then 😂

My town tune has been the Mario theme in every game, with the exception of The Simpsons theme for a brief while in the GameCube instalment.

I’d picked up long ago that each of the animal types had different sounds associated to them for their tune, but I hadn’t really thought about the possibility that their personality influences it too, which seems so obvious now in hindsight.

@BAN I feel like you’re replying to the wrong person lol, I didn’t mention Memphis

“You know how it is. You're scrolling through Twitter-“ nope can’t relate.

@MJF Yeah… hence why they said “IF that system HAD really come out in 1995”. They’re describing a theoretical scenario, not what actually happened.

@InkIdols Honestly the only game that’s not already on either of those apps that I care about. The N64 & Mega Drive/Genesis ones still have a ways to go though of course

@Anti-Matter By all means. You’re allowed to say it twice in the same comment section, in fact. But doing so the second time when not responding to anyone just seems a little odd.

@Anti-Matter Are you waiting for a response? That’s the second time you’ve said that in this comment section alone

None, I didn’t have any on 3DS and only used them on Wii U to group VC games by console.

@ThomasBW84 The course is called ‘Shroom Ridge’ (in paragraph 5, at least the way this article has been formatted on my phone). You may be confusing the name with Double Dash’s ‘Mushroom Bridge’.

@Deepdoop *8 years old. The Wii U version released in 2014.

Curiously enough, I also came to the same conclusion that the Aspergers claim was fake a couple years ago, as I wrote a paper for my Media course at university about the creation and success of Red & Green. I’d remembered hearing that Tajiri had Aspergers, but I literally could not find any reliable source for that information anywhere, so I ultimately left it out of my work. Of course I didn’t get so far as tracking it down to a MySpace page, so really interesting to know that there’s a good chance that that’s where this misinformation all probably originated from.

@AlanaHagues It’s ‘Phanpy’, rather than ‘Phanphy’. I also used to pronounce it like that as a kid though, curiously.

@Dragwhite Only clicked on the article and scrolled down here for literally the exact same reason haha

Actually the reverse for me - the NSO Expansion made me buy Mario Kart 8 hahaha

Well, I guess this will be the first Wii U port that I take the plunge on. Bowser’s Fury was tempting, but not quite enough - this is like an entirely new game though. I have the Expansion Pass already, so I’m all set.

@Dirty0814 That doesn’t answer the question though. Tetris 99 is licensed to Nintendo, and Nintendo themes based on new and upcoming titles are released for it all the time. The fact that Nintendo doesn’t own the IP is irrelevant.

@Tantani Nope. It was only £4 more prior to release, and I’m glad to pay that to get to play it at launch.
