@ComfyAko Yeah. They did mention that 3D would be hard for them. For Scarlet and Violet, I wanted the land to glitch out at times to show a glimpse of the past or future to stay in tune with the theme. That would have been awesome and would have alluded to the professors more as you reached them at the end.
@Dr_Lugae You are right. I think people are just overwhelmed by the rate of games and how the progression of Arceus to Scarlet/Violet was a one step forward two steps back kind of thing.
@ComfyAko Yup. Pokemon is like Sonic. Anyone can make a fast moving animal as a game mascot. But they will never be Sonic. Pokemon is just like that now. Unfortunately, the rate of games coming out and quality is going in the direction of Sonic. Nintendo needs to take their time.
I hate the fact that Shang Tsung is a "bonus fighter" when he is integral to the story. Similar to Shao Khan being "bonus" when he played a role in Mortal Kombat 11. This practice needs to be removed.
Also, Green Ranger Shredder and He-Man/Skeletor DLC please.
@theModestMouse Nintendo is in a tricky situation. If they release the Switch 2 early and it does not meet expectations (or if they drastically change it to be less convenient than the Switch) then audiences will say the Switch was a fluke and leave Nintendo.
However, if Nintendo does not announce a system soon with specs or model designs for the audiences, then people will start losing interest.
They need to make their next move carefully but not so far off from the future.
@nuff64 Good to know it offers a challenge. I have been appreciating a lot of 2D shooters/run-guns lately. Too bad they have not rereleased Gunstar Heroes Advanced.
@beartown A lot of the Pokemon are still based off actual animals. Sometimes I run across an actual animal online or in a book and I am like, "Wait a minute! Is such and such Pokemon based off this real animal?" An example would be Bellibolt and the Cuyaba Dwarf Frog. It's cool that kids can relate to the real world creatures with this franchise.
@thesilverbrick That is a shame. I really wanted Donnie and Raph to make that a deal for me. Or all the Turtles in a different style from each animated series (87, 2003, 2012, and Rise).
I hate each time we get news on this game due to the final statement always saying along the lines of, "A Japan exclusive." WE LOVE GIANT ROBOTS TOO!!!!
@gaga64 They were decent to good. They don't rival the Classic Collection though. However, in a time of 4 player possibilities, they play better as single or two players. Pretty weird. For example, the Battle Nexus game was supposed to be the first time we can play as four players, but the game was designed to be a 3D version of the NES TMNT game and played better for single player. That being said, I say they are still worth having in one collection.
@Snatcher I agree. Comparing it to Smash is not fair. Smash has had time to develop since the late 90's. Also, it has been dutifully developed by the ever committed Sakurai. Smash is just a polished project that keeps on getting polished. I love the idea of WB characters having their own Smash though. Truthfully, I would like a DC heroes game in the same vein as Capcom's X-Men and Marvel fighters.
@BlueGBAMicro Maybe Power Rangers can prove that by putting the Turtles and Shredder in the fighting game. (Also making a compilation of their 16 bit games would be appreciated as well.)
This game looks very interesting. However, I looked on YouTube at the villains and they look like kids. What is the story behind that? I thought Castlevania like games are about monsters.
@roy130390 I would like a secret double boss battle of 2003 Shredder and Karai. Krang Subprime would be nice as well since they all crossed with the 80's turtles at one point.
@RubyCarbuncle I played the console versions as well. I agree. The third one had potential but lacked the fluid movement of the first. Why did they start the trilogy with two players when all the systems can do four?
@RubyCarbuncle Battle Nexus on the handheld has a lot of sneaking elements mixed with platforming. Mutant Nightmare is like the first one but the partner indication has no "Off feature" and can get annoying. They are all fine but the first one has a better flow.

Re: Soapbox: Pokémon Desperately Needs A Rival, But Who's Big Enough To Take It On?
@BodkinDQ I think Arceus and Scarlet/Violet were made back to back. There was not time to assess what worked and what did not.

Re: Random: Smash Bros. Melee HD Unlikely To Happen, According To Former Nintendo Employees
@Vil I agree. How about a game where they have partners like Paper Mario? Or Mario and Luigi vs. Wario and WaLuigi? So many possibilities!
Re: Acclaimed TMNT Graphic Novel 'The Last Ronin' Is Getting A Video Game
Wow. Out of left field. But I am interested. What I really want are the turtles in the Power Rangers fighting game.

Re: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge Probably Won't Get Any DLC
@evanac The only dlc I hope for is Usagi Yojimbo. Other than that, this game looks super polished.
