I cancelled my pre order a few days back! My daily usage of Pokemon Go has dropped from constant to barely used so thought this would just be something else on my shelf collecting dust
I'd go with the 1st 2. Do a big flashy presentation to get the hype train chugging along, give the media a taste of what it is and increase its footprint. Shortly after, a full fledged Nintendo direct that just shows all the cool gimmicks and games that will get the blood pumping for all us non big media types.
Imagine an open world Pokemon game! No new Pokemon, no new gimmicks, just a massive Pokemon adventure. You set out in Pallet town, you still have gyms and what not, but you can go anywhere, all the regions, as and when you please. You can join guilds, so you could be a breeder, a trainer, a collector or even join team rocket if you fancy! Use the Zelda engine, make it happen, make me happy....
Am I right in thinking that this is the only part of Polemon Gl that Nintendo really had anything to do with, distribution of the Pokemon Go plus?
If it is, it does beg the question, why did Miyamto-San say that it would be out by the end of July at E3? Literally every other member of the Q & A session looked shocked by that announcement.
Would Pokemon Go even work on a handheld device? Unless it had a data plan but then, why would anybody use it over their smartphones, unless of course..... ..... It's a smartphone.....
So far works much better server wise than the Australian work around I've been using for 5 days! Loads instantly every time and doesn't prang out during gym battles!!!
Go to the shrine that gives you the magnesis rune, activate it on the sheika slate! Then go outside, find 2 pieces of metal, criss cross them, stand on the intersecting point of the top piece of metal and use magnesis to lift the bottom piece! See what happens......
Yay, a news tip I sent Nintendolife finally paid off! I want them all!! I already have the end of level flag display and these will just add to what I consider a mighty fine collection. My personal favourite is the Donkey Kong display! I suppose with new Donkey and Diddy amiibos incoming it makes sense!
Whilst I agree with the ridiculous pricing, I don't think it really matters in the slightest! I was with a group of 5 friends last night when the email arrived and I forwarded it to all of them and all of them and myself purchased it without hesitation!
If there is DLC coming, I hope that the new characters are unique and not more along the lines of pink gold peach and cat Mario. That really annoyed me in the last batch of DLC. Considering the possible choices they could have made, what with the ridiculous list of IPs and unique characters, it kinda felt like a cop out
@Alundra-1998 I don't have duplicates but I have every amiibo released, 93 in total, which includes a gold mega man that I imported from USA, plus I have a Ganda Kris custom Shadow Mario, so 94 in total. And I've got all the new Kirby and Splatoon amiibos pre ordered....
As a Kickstarter backer, July can't come soon enough! Just hope my PC is up to it, haven't used it as a gaming rig since Old Republic came out sooo many years ago!.!.!
You can still see one of the pictures in a frame on the counter in Malo Mart! And if you talk to the lady next to it she screams something along the lines of 'SELL IT' , very clever Nintendo... Maybe the other one is still there too.... I had to leave as that place really scared me!!!!
Pre ordered but may get digitally once I have a better understanding of how My Nintendo works! Used to buy everything digitally back in the Premium promotion days, then that ended, and amiibo bundles became a thing....
