@Darknyht Yeah I meant in regards to Legends and really just Main Series Pokémon in general. I'm glad they are finally not afraid to outsource some of the work now. I thought it would've helped development of Sword and Shield a lot.
@MegaVel91 It is for Game Freak because they refuse to either expand or contract some help so they just push products with quick turnaround times and now it's starting to catch up since employees clearly were not happy during Sword and Shields development based on the the limited press they have done.
@Averagewriter You do understand that those Anti-SJW YouTubers and Bounding Into Comics love to exaggerate about censorship and "politics" for views right? I used to believe in a lot of that Anti-Anita crap when I was younger, but then I actually saw both sides and realize that people love to demonize each other and much of this stuff was exaggerated or a lie. You don't have to agree with her, but these people's obsession with her remind of conspiracy theorists' obsession with George Soros.
@Baker1000 I think it's mostly when it's badly done by Americans or if it's only characters who are royalty. I actually like Dragon Quest's voices for example.
I blame a lot 🤣 f the issues with the voice acting on the direction. I just think having royalty speak non-rhotically unlike everyone else to be one of the worst tropes in media, especially if the person in the role clearly doesn't do so naturally. Xenoblade Chronicles 2 did the exact opposite. It is no grounds for harassment however and anyone who attacks the actors is an absolutely abominable individual.
Can't wait until they inevitably dump their current app now that they own Crunchyroll. Hopefully their combined resources will lead to a halfway decent player since they certainly will have the library down.
I honestly don't think most people in these comment sections know how Copyright or Trademark Law actually work nor do they understand the concept of legal precedent. You do not magically lose all authority over trademark if you fail to sue every person comes remotely close to infringing on IP. It isn't that simple. The use of "Joycon Boys" is an Etika specific reference and I am somewhat surprised that Nintendo didn't say anything about him using the term before. If Nintendo could block anyone from even using terms used by their company on everything, it would make things a lot more difficult even for fan sites and YouTube channels that use similar imagery to official Nintendo IP. They could just alter the Etikon, but it also would not damage Nintendo if they hadn't.
@Giancarlothomaz Yeah Zelda did sound like hot garbage in BOTW tbh. IDK why royalty always have to British especially when they cannot even hire an actual actor from the UK most of the time.
@Cakefish Sadly unless its a generic American accent, a lot of accents in media are pretty bad representations of the real thing. Being from the American South, I know this all to well. Shudders
I'm still waiting for GameStop to ship mine. I only used them because they were the first retailer to open orders in the US, but somehow they find new ways to disappoint me.
@Lettersnnumbers Yeah. He did try to recognize some of the things Japan did once and people from his party and smaller parties aligned with him chastised him while neighboring countries criticized him for wanting to expand the powers of the Japanese military under the constitution so he has taken shots from both sides, he did remain pretty popular until the pandemic hurt his numbers as evidenced by being the longest tenured Prime Minister Japan has had in a very long time.
@Retro_Player_77 They could've done a Fire Emblem Anniversary collection. At least this game had a remake that was localized to go off of. Genealogy would've taken more effort, but been so cool. Unfortunately Nintendo won't do something that.
They should've included Secret of the Emblem and remakes for both in the physical release. I know the collectibles are the main selling point, but that's a little high for a single Famicom game.
@NGNYS Even the big companies used to struggle with localization it almost impossible for a small publisher to find people fluent in Japanese outside of Japan who are willing to localize their games. It's a shockingly underrated language in the global market despite Japanese pop culture's megalithic popularity internationally. I am actually taking Japanese because of this fact. Plenty of people know English, Spanish, and Chinese so there is a surprising need for people who know other popular languages in some industries.
I would continue building on the Switch like the Gameboy and DS. Inevitably, they will have to release a new system rather than more iterations. They could make this new system a backwards compatible successor that is still a hybrid. I don't know if Nintendo can just release a Pro model and milk the Switch as long as the Gameboy. A Switch 2 needs to happen sooner rather than later.

Re: Introducing Pokémon Legends: Arceus, An Open-World Prequel To Diamond And Pearl
I just wanna know how this considered an "Action RPG." It still looks turn-based.

Reggie is like Ryan Seacrest or Carson Daly. Way too many jobs and way too little time.

Re: Pokémon Sword And Shield's Gloria Has Finally Been Given A Voice, And It's (Very) British

@Xylnox I think Level 5 is already struggling domestically too. If anything, Nintendo might need to step in and buy them at this rate.
