@RubyCarbuncle Temtem actually tried to make it's creatures semi-unique in appearance via art style. Nexomon wears its inspiration on it's sleeve and also tries to make unique designs.
Same with Coromon.
Pocketpair by comparison initially looked like they literally tried to amalgamate designs straight from Pokemon.
Lets not pretend Anubis isn't literally just Lucario slightly edited in terms of design, or that Azurmane isnt literally a legally distinct Zebstrika, among others.
There's very few Pokemon clones I've seen where you can point at a design and say "This is literally X pokemon"
And I've seen creature designs from all 3 games. Pocketpair has the largest number of blatant ripiff designs by a fair margin.
@Not_Soos soos, Im going to be that guy, tell you to stop playinf devil's advocate for those people. Enough of that gunk.
People like me had been telling, browbeating, showing examples of his stupidity, showing how he was and is unfit for the office, showing why he should not be trusted to lead the US, for well at coming on a decade at this point.
They, and the people who decided not to vote at all because between a moronic, malicious dictactor, and a smart, well spoken lady, they chose neither because voting for Kamala somehow meant screwing Gaza.
Lay the blame at the feet of whom it belongs, and stop trying this both-sides nonsense. The sides were freaking crystal clear.
@VHSGREMLIN From what a friend tells me, it also has to do with the culture of the company and the country. Wanting the element of surprise is a big factor in company things regarding video game sector to help generate hype around a new release, and leak really disrupt that.
And I say this while understand everything you've said is true.
Leaks are the reasons, supposedly, that the prospective Legend of Zelda movie we heard about years ago when we heard about the animated Mario Bros movie got canceled. They can't do that since they're so deep in getting ready for Switch 2's launch.
But from what I'm hearing from the same friend, apparently there's been reports of Switch 2's stolen directly from the factory, which is a major issue for both the manufacturer and Nintendo themselves...
@RadioHedgeFund I'm thinking myself that the plot of Sonic CD would be adapted with some new elements. With the post-credit scenes being what they are, we have to explain where they come from, right? Why not Little Planet?
@Ravenmaster Your benchmark for looking and playing better is the likes of stuff on PC and PS5. You've already stacked the deck.
What Nintendo's continued success and the continued success of games on it outside of their library proves is that the most cutting edge graphics are not necessary for a good game.
Just a good framerate and great style, and good gameplay.
@PikaPhantom Because this is a different Sonic. Just like how BOOM Sonic is different from Main Games Sonic, who is different from SATAM Sonic, and who is different from Sonic from the OVA.
Honestly, you guys obsessing with him not being like his game counterpart is more annoying than Sonic himself in the movies.
Sonic is allowed to be interpreted differently between sections of the franchise, and so far they kept Sonic's core characteristics while doing their own thing.
I've been through every Sonic incarnation and there's no extreme fladerization going on here. Just a bunch of people who clearly just don't like that his personality is "excitable culture-savvy jokester."
Some of you cynical people here need to grow up. Good grief. Even I want a new Mega Man game and understand the frustration, but some of you are just being downright petty.
@RygelXVIII Made worse by it being said by some people who have a clear bent against the company and want to say stupid ***** to justify their disdain.

Re: Pokémon Legends: Z-A's Switch 2 And Switch 1 Prices Have Been Revealed
@PikminMarioKirby Stop claiming secret knowledge abd show receipts, or be quiet.
You're talking completely out your backside.
You're claiming it's unfinished, on literally nothing of substance than the fact it's visually similar to SV, at best.

@YunoboCo they are not ruined dude. Good grief.
Re: Palworld Dev Announces "Disappointing" Game Changes Resulting From Nintendo's Lawsuit
@Jeronan Are you being intentionally obtuse? He said the implementation, not the concept.
It doesn't matter if the concept of the mechanic is unique or not. It's how it's used in the game that matters.
And this is with me agreeing you shouldn't be able to patent game mechanics in such a manner, but what they've got is acceptable under patent law.

Re: Editorial: Gamers, Support The People And Sites You Love, Before It's Too Late
@Dazman You're historically incorrect. The worst kind of incorrect.
Every propaganda poster you've ever seen qualifies as art. That's not opinion. That is fact. An artist designed and made that for circulation.
And it's inherently political.
As @DiggleDog said: the only people who dont want those things being pushed simply don't want to engage with the real world.

Re: "Stay Tuned" For Next Mainline Mario, Says Nintendo's Bowser

Re: Nintendo Highlights Four Brand New Games "Coming Soon" To Switch
@Tyranexx it's a tad more complex than that.

Re: Nintendo "Establishing Ways To Respond" To U.S. Tariffs, Says Furukawa
@Spider-Kev are you stupid? For real?
Or are you here to be a troll?
Re: Nintendo "Establishing Ways To Respond" To U.S. Tariffs, Says Furukawa
@Spider-Kev Do you have any idea how long that will take? We don't have the manufacturing or production base we once had.
Years. Years is the answer.
Years we don't have while 51% FAFO themselves into extreme poverty by their own noose.
Re: Nintendo "Establishing Ways To Respond" To U.S. Tariffs, Says Furukawa
@KingMike You didn't read. The import tax (aka Tariff) is paid by who is importing the goods into the US.
That means anyone who ordered Switches and Switch 2s are the ones paying the tariffs.
A cost per unit they will likely pass on to the consumers. It's not that hard to grasp.

Re: Sonic's Next Movie Outings Could Go Beyond Earth To New "Fantastical Zones"
@Not_Soos Frankly speaking I'm hoping for a couple things:
That Sonic CD's plot is adapted, and maybe some inspiration from the comics in the form of the Metallix being a Borg-like entity.

Re: Palworld Developer Pocketpair Changes Pokémon-Like Summoning Mechanic
@LadyCharlie Again, the patents are derivative patents of one that was filed well before Palworld's release.
That doesn't change the fact what Nintendo is doing is scummy and shady, but lets not keep spreading misinformation.
