Munchlax

Normally, I would have tried it by now, but I bought Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin a day before the direct, and I can only focus on one farm sim at a time.

@Slowdive @KryptoniteKrunch Of course TPCI would say this when asked publicly about the incident, it doesn’t mean they didn’t say other things to their in-house advertising team behind closed doors at the time.
It likely was just miscommunication, but Merrick’s tweet doesn’t really prove anything.

Sakurai challenged Toby to a rematch, and this was the wager.

Quality was high, but lacked breadth, and Zelda and Pikmin could have really used more footage.
Luckily, I like JRPGs and farming simulators.

Both of these were in the datamined list, but look better than I was expecting them to.

I hope Nintendo selects come back. It might remind people that games like Tokyo Mirage and Famicom Detective Club exist.

@KateGray You should make a Klawf article tomorrow for Crab news Thursday!

I liked Sun/Moon prerelease, I liked the slow drip feed of new Pokémon.

Okay, so there’s combat, light platforming, and crafting but… to what end? I still do not understand what the basic gameplay cycle is supposed to be.

Still only 1 Jojolion rep

DS, but 7 was the first I actually liked. You’re still all old.

An actual release date for Dragon Quest 3

The sequel to Layton x Wright: Kirigiri x Edgeworth

Mario Galaxy is the last game in the original Mario timeline. Galaxy 2 is the first game in a new timeline.

I think all gens are objectively good, but each has a unique style, and the different styles will appeal to different people. My favourite is Sinnoh, but that’s probably because it’s my native region.
Sinnoh > Unova > Galar > Alola > Kalos > Hoenn > Kanto > Johto > Hisui

Nintendo series involving the apocalypse on real world Earth:
Splatoon
Pikmin
Kirby
Xenoblade, both core series and X
Any more I’m not thinking of?

Maybe people wouldn’t be so desperate for her to be NB if there actually was some representation in Nintendo media.

Remember that Splatoon 2 hasn't been updated in 3 years. Couldn't all of this have just been added to 2, spread out over that time period. In a post-Fortnite world, full price online games really need to justify sequels. I'm happy for the hardcore Splatoon audience, but as a casual fan, this feels too similar to the game I already have to be worth paying £40 for.

Total Munchlax cards: 9
Total Pikachu cards: 196

You’re all old.

I think cloud games can be ok if there’s no chance of getting it to run natively; it’s better than nothing.

Isn’t Juniper from Xenoblade 3 probably also non-binary?

Third option: Windwaker HD JP/EU

@Max_the_German Actress is exclusively female, but actor is a gender neutral term that can refer to men and women.

@Jhena
As some from the real life version of Turffield and going to uni in the real life Circhester, I think SWSH is definitely more British than the average Pokémon game- I was about to say that I don’t remember there being a desert in the midlands, but judging by the recent weather countrywide, I think that they actually might have been ahead of the curve. It was nice to see that the script was in British English, including the slang and idioms, but it did occasionally come off as trying to hard.

As sequel content goes it’s fine, but they could have been updating Splatoon 2 for 3 years instead to achieve the exact same effect.

@VancouverVelocityFan
Try manual updating by pressing plus on the Home Screen, then selecting “update via internet”.

@Screen
I’m afraid I don’t understand the question.

@Ulysses @Zverik He’s a man.

@ChandlerKeith19
There’s a competitive meta game called “little cup” that uses similar builds and strategies, but with unevolved Pokémon only. Also, I’m not seeing the teams need to be optimised, just that they should have some kind of synergy or a unique strategy to make bosses more challenging and interesting.

@Screen
Of course you can- build enemy teams more like competitive, and improve the AI. Not necessarily hard, but absolutely harder.

@Screen
I want level scaling though. I want to be able to do gyms in any order, and for the gym leaders to be hard because of improved team design, not because they’re 30 levels higher. Taking on the strong gyms first will just mean you steamroll the low level ones afterwards too. IMO, a better solution is to have level scaling, and a way to level down your Pokémon (presumably resetting EVs in the process).

I want to put Fidough in an oven and eat him.

I love how the game has fictional swear words and idioms, because I enjoy seeing non-brits online trying to work out which are made up and which are just British.

I agree with Arlo. (Also how many of the complainers watched the video, he never said that it was going to be bad, just that is 1.5 months from release and doesn’t have a major hook yet).

@Snatcher
Its not universally hated, but it’s divisive. It’s got high highs and low lows. The combat is fun but takes ages to open up. The environments are great, but progression is greatly slowed by an over abundance of skill checks. There are some great characters and story moments, but most of the large cast doesn’t get fleshed out and it takes 30 hours for anything interesting to happen. The blade system adds a lot of customisability, but also locks new skills behind Gacha mechanics. The music is great but you can’t hear it over the characters constantly screaming. A deep Philosophical story is undercut be what I can only describe as totally unfitting “anime cringe”. It is very much a game of two halves, and your mileage with it will vary depending on whether or not the highs outweigh the lows for you.

@Anachronism
Just like our dreams, they’ve gotta be free,
So, anyway, let’s move on…

It is if they’re not adding new game modes.

Thinking about the 4 year delay, I think it’s best to recall the famous Miyamoto quote: “A delayed game is eventually Cyberpunk 2077, but a rushed game is Super Mario Sunshine, which I produced”.

It’s fun, but also the only Mario game I’ve clipped through the floor in.

Inklings canonically eat Salmonids, which are known to be sapient.

@Hero-of-WiiU
It was in the quick fire real, because I’m pretty sure that Koei Tecmo publishes it in Japan.

I still don’t understand what the gameplay is.

Kirby fits better than all of these, it’s already a power trip game based around real time melee/brawler combat with OP characters.

@Cia Its completely optional help so you don’t spend hours wandering aimlessly if you get lost. If you don’t like it, just don’t use it.

Unfortunately, I don’t think any character will ever beat Reyn.

Does Primordia have a sequel called Noctilum?

Why is everybody assuming that this replaces a general direct? There is literally zero evidence for that? Plus, this could be clearing time for other announcements in a general direct.

Now rank the best crab games 🦀🦀🦀
