Hmmm... well, if you looked closely in the background of that JP Sonic trailer, when Sonic was at some treehouse, there did seem to be other characters.
With all the people being wary of the connections with DS, Geoff, Kojima and the fact the approval of DS is mixed, its gonna come down to Smash or RE2, with Smash ahead. Also, come to think of it, if RE2, a Capcom game, is up for GotY, then why didnt Capcom pay more for DMC5, the game people have been clamoring for, to be up for GotY? We would see here which game Capcom gave priority to with their money.
Also, if I were a troll, I wouldve spun your logic to make sure youd have false glory. I would have lied to you to harm you for fun. So, theres my honest answer and I say NO. @PKBegley
@suikoden well, if the Sonic fanbase and franchise has any indication, you got plenty of time before Pokemon would even tank, especially if the next good thing about Sonic is the successful redesign.
eats popcorn while watching the people dance Seriously, I fear in these days someone would troll a group with some elaborately convincing, yet fake info with people escalating things like this just for entertainment. I neither defend or do not defend the stuff as I’m just like one who is about to go on a roller coaster to get some screaming thrills, nothing complicated.
Fanbase is becoming more like Sonic fanbase, but the franchise at this point remains strong comparatively. Altho, the Sonic franchise is hanging on even still and I commend them. I do see that handing Sonic or Pokemon to fresh young talent is inevitable one way or another.
Why wasnt it announced earlier that the Wild Area was getting the Xenoblade treatment? People have been talking and meming once we saw the news.
Oh well, anyway, the Wild Area having overleveled Pokemon roaming from the get go is a neat and exciting concept to explore. It is truly becoming a Wild Area.
@SakuraHaruka also, I was able to recall that there are staff at Nintendo who were openly concerned about the move to mobile back then, likely with the mtx. Sakurai was even on record to state he is not a fan of the Fighter’s Pass deal, that he encourages to make your own purchases, as you see fit. Its stuff like these, that we should think that, yes, they are doing these things, but are they feeling the pain from those same concerns that are carried on to this date? I believe so.
@Rayquaza2510 Thankfully, all the investors see the mtx in mobile. Strangely enough, it doesnt matter where for them as long as they see the $$$ and no one is bothered to suggest putting them in mainline titles. Their nature is fully satisfied.
Diddy Kong pack price is so big and horrendous, I would start thinking that Nintendo already knew from the start these practices are gonna bomb anyway. The pain is too obvious to ignore, especially after all this time. Whether DENA is the cause or not remains to be seen. Anyway, glad I earned Diddy Kong tho.
Ive had this conversation when I first read it with my Discord buddies and it is to be said here... This is an underhanded attack at gaming and Fortnite is the opportunistic scapegoat. Addiction... we can do that with any game. Those saying “its against Fortnite, its all right” do not know what they are saying. Ends must not justify the means here. If legal precedence gets a hold of this, it can spell trouble for any other game they think its bad, while we gamers think its good.
@DJKeens 76 gay? Ha! A complete joke that has left a number of LGBT players I see/know shaking their heads in disbelief. “Inauthentic”, “random”, and so on are the words I hear to describe the debacle. The timing and execution of 76’s story regarding that was just wrong. Fanfiction writers would gladly put out the gayness ASAP, while the OW team took a couple of years for that. Lets face it, a brand new fighter who happens to be gay is a better job than 76 would ever be. Thus, I do agree with the dissent with Soldier 76.
What can you expect from the former Rare staff that is Playtonic Games? Im more than happy they put their noses to the grindstone and took what they learned from the first game into this title, like the vets they are. Glad to be one of the backers that supports the Yooka Laylee franchise.
It does feel, when pointed out, that one might say it leans more on XY, the other might say it still retains SuMo... But both are correct here. The art style feels like a blend.
@Xaessya “$4.99? Maybe drop off a Twitch sub of a streamer out of many you support but you’re not really watching and start pay for some quality content.” Sadly, this is the truth. Emotes dont make the cut against Mario Kart. If a Twitch sub deemed worthless is as valued the same as the Gold Pass yet the Pass has more content, then yeah, its a staggering big thing. Time to think if one your $5 monthly payments you pay anyway is really worth it these days, even if it doesnt end up getting the Gold Pass.
@Anti-Matter speaking of using other cultures to be inspired of in future Pokemon games, I wouldnt mind seeing like... regions based off of Italy, Greece, Australia, Brazil. I know there are more, but these stand out as unique, cream of the crop. Italy or Greece can play off of mythology, Australia can have a boost in Poison types, and Brazil can offer a jungle theme in the games.
When the SuMo games had shown that you were the Champion all along and you had to defend it... I had a feeling that Ash would rise up and become champ in the anime. Being the first ever champ in a region was really a nice innovative nod in the story. As such, I wouldnt doubt if Ash and Pikachu returns for the Galar region. The upcoming anime spanning all regions tells me its not the next step in the main series. I very much like to see how the Galar region is brought out with its atmosphere and gym leaders.
@Doofenshmirtz mm hmm. And yet some top comments of the other side of the spectrum have or about to have 5+ dislikes. Ive seen this enough times in other articles here in this site. Once that crosses over, someone will say “see, we dont care about your opinion. More than 5 people disagree with you, thus the whole world disagrees with you.” They love to hide behind that threshold, since its easy to reach. ... Altho, i notice the cheater bashers arent doing their job right here if they are leaving the dislikes below 5 on some comments, so something noteworthy is happening here.
Im glad the future is secure with Mega Man. And it all began with the demand for Mega Man materialized in Smash (even tho Ryu first was Capcom’s idea) and everything else just went into motion.
How would this get through with Ninty’s usual stance on IP? ... If it were true, then it is to be understood it was on Epic Games terms. Their realm. Not Sony’s, Not MS’s, just Epic Games and Nintendo agreed. No need to raise the behavior to console wars levels when they are the ones who own their independent servers.
The SNK fighting games were also ported to Genesis and SNES back in the day. Given that Nintendo is the sole survivor and top thriver of classical gaming, unlike Sega and SNK systems, some connections can be seen here as to why Terry had to come to Nintendo and Smash, but it does not stop there. I even read that Sakurai was inspired by King of Fighters to make Smash Bros. Yes, he played SNK fighting games before and was competent.
So the best way to describe this is its another Sakurai pick, like with Persona 5 Joker, but also has some historical connections.
