I really miss when event Pokemon had actual EVENTS that happened. Really tired of TPC just handing out rare Pokemon like candy. Darkai's Newmoon island event was so cool back in the day. Actually having to catch the thing was so much fun! Why not just spawn a Darkrai that appears near the ghost-type gym town? Make players look for it and catch it? Would be more fun than just getting it for nothing.
Gonna pick up Sonic first because I just prefer 2D Sonic over 2D Mario, but I'll gladly play Mario over the holidays. Also still playing Baldur's Gate 3, so we shall see how that goes.
For the people immediately dismissing this game because it's top down, it's not. You can change the camera to be behind your back, and then top down like Fire Emblem when you get into combat. I've tried Larian's previous game Divinity Original Sin 2, and I didn't like it. This game though, the sheer amount of possibilities is just staggering. I'd say, that the top down perspective really doesn't matter. If what you enjoy in games are great, interactive stories, and amazing turn based SRPG combat, then please try this out.
Personally I like 2D Sonic gameplay more than 2D Mario. However I can't deny that Mario Wonder will absolutely be the better game. However, if this happens I'll probably get Sonic first and then save Mario as an awesome Christmas game. For regular people though, Sega should probably consider delaying the game to November if this is true.
Would rather Dreamworks make a good Zelda movie. Illumination is better at comedies and more whimsical movies. Zelda should be more story focused, and I think Dreamworks fits that better. They've made great stories with Kung Fu Panda, Shrek, Puss in Boots, and especially How to Train Your Dragon. Are these movies perfect? No. But I think they'd do better than Illumination in Zelda's case. Plus Universal owns them too.
@FirstEmperor lol, believe me I'm not begging for ports. I still buy and play nintendo hardware. I'm just spit balling an idea for how Nintendo could POSSIBLY combat PC pirates.
Nintendo, just let us BUY the games then! Take those roms, sell them for 20 dollars a pop on the eshop, and people will buy them! Or, better yet. Make a PC launcher for your old games. This won't stop all pirating, but it will CERTAINLY eliminate a good amount of it.
Imagine how much money Nintendo would be making if they actually worked WITH emulator developers and sold their own Roms on Steam or their own launcher. Now, they need to be priced reasonably for 20+ year old games, but still.
Guys, again it has to be said. Nintendo has re-released exactly 2 gamecube games on the Switch. Mario Sunshine, which is no longer available, and Metroid Prime Remastered. If their plan for gamecube preservation are remasters, then so be it. However, there are MANY more gamecube games that are not available on ANY modern Nintendo consoles right now. Nintendo is doing nothing about this. That's all I have to say.
@Ralizah Actually, that IS what I wanted lol. Maybe I'll trade in some games I don't really like in case I don't like it, but that sounds pretty good to me.
Trying to decide if I should get this. Only played the first game for 20 hours because I disliked the shrines. From what I read, this game is better but doesn't fix any of the issues I had with the first game.
Okay then, this will FINALLY be a worthwhile upgrade. This may actually be the greatest classic Sonic collection ever made if this happens. Wish they included Sonic the Fighters and Sonic R though from Gems Collection.
Only thing I want to see is Emerald on the eshop to buy, that's it. Oh, and with Home compatibility. Although I'm sure they'll just do the same old Red and Blue.
Looks.... fine? Can't say this gameplay excited me that much. Just more of the original. Also dang I really want nintendo to move onto Switch 2 soon. These graphics are getting very muddy. Probably won't pick this up at launch.

Re: Pokémon's COO Wants To Keep Franchise Going For "Hundreds Of Years"
@Logicfire they should just give the series to BAMCO
Re: Pokémon's COO Wants To Keep Franchise Going For "Hundreds Of Years"
What a joke. What parts of the community are asking for? These aren't features that you didn't release. You released a broken game!
Re: Surprise! Nintendo Is Officially Working On A Live-Action Legend Of Zelda Movie
Should have been animated.
Re: Nintendo's Updated Guidelines For Tournaments & Content Creation Sparks Community Backlash
Actually insane. Nintendo needs to get over themselves.
Re: The Pokémon Company Reckons There's Room For Future Detective Pikachu Spin-Offs
Would rather a new Mystery Dungeon or Pinball honestly.
Re: LEGO Animal Crossing Launches March 2024, Five Sets Announced
Looks super mid honestly. Thought that they were going to do more of the actual houses and furniture for each set.
Re: GameCube Classic Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door Is Heading To Switch
Yay an old game! And for only 60 dollars too, I'm sure!

Re: Acrobatic 2D Platformer 'Curse Crackers' Backflips Onto Switch Next Week
Really fun little platformer! Excellent music as well. I played it on Steam this year.
Re: Baldur's Gate 3 Surpasses Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom As 2023's Highest-Rated Game "So Far"
@ModdedInkling To be honest, I think the bias will be towards Zelda and Starfield if anything. Those games are more accepting to the average consumer.

Re: Baldur's Gate 3 Surpasses Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom As 2023's Highest-Rated Game "So Far"
Absolutely deserved. This game is amazing and one of the best games I've played in a long time.
Re: The Next Pokémon Presents Could Be Soon, According To A New Datamine
I'm done with the Pokemon franchise until they can release a finished game the FIRST TIME.
Re: DreamWorks All-Star Kart Racing Will See Shrek, Po, Hiccup And More Speed Onto Switch Soon
Will my love of Shrek lead me to purchase this game? We shall see.
Re: Random: Mortal Kombat Co-Creator Knows Who He'd Add To Smash Bros., If Nintendo Was To Ask
Would prefer Sub Zero, but I'd gladly take either. More interesting than Tekken man and Terry.
Re: Nintendo Aims To Reduce Scalping Of "New Hardware"
Let us actually pre order and make enough to fulfill that demand.

Re: TMNT: Shredder's Revenge Lands New Character, Game Mode And More In Upcoming DLC
Still need to get this game. It's been on my wishlist for a while.
Re: Pikmin 4 Will 'Rise To The Occasion' In Brand New Trailer
Really hoping this gets split screen multiplayer like Pikmin 3 Deluxe. We had a blast with that.

Re: Dolphin Emulator Steam Release "Indefinitely Postponed"
@Wexter Yeah I totally understand that. I myself would never want to pirate a modern game that's still being sold, but I know there are those that do.

Re: Feature: Pokémon TCG Community Engulfed In Potential Fraud Scandal
@stinkyx Well yeah sure, it gets very pricey with al arts lol.
Re: Feature: Pokémon TCG Community Engulfed In Potential Fraud Scandal
@stinkyx you don't need to shell out hundreds. Buy singles on tcgplayer or other reseller sites. I built a competitive meta deck for 40 bucks.
Re: New Pokémon Scarlet & Violet 7-Star Tera Raid Event Announced For This Weekend
I'm not returning until Home support I'd added.
Re: Rumour: The Infamous Phillips CD-i Zelda Games Are Being Remastered For Switch
I'd buy this if it were real. Not kidding.
Re: Nintendo Reveals Official Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Switch OLED
Can we finally have a NON-BLACK Switch Oro controller please?
Re: Sonic Origins Plus Reportedly Out In June, Adds Amy Rose And 12 Game Gear Games
Okay then, this will FINALLY be a worthwhile upgrade. This may actually be the greatest classic Sonic collection ever made if this happens. Wish they included Sonic the Fighters and Sonic R though from Gems Collection.
Re: Atelier Ryza's First Game Is Getting Its Very Own Anime Adaptation
Wish I would have finished the first game, but the lack of an English dub really out me off after a few hours.
Re: The Pokémon Company Is Looking To Hire Someone With NFT Knowledge
I'll be done with Pokemon if this happens. Already close to it with how bad their games have been.
Re: The Legend Of Nayuta: Boundless Trails Is An Action RPG Spin-Off Of Falcom's 'Trails' Series
How many of these games ARE THERE!?
Re: UK Charts: Metroid Prime Remastered Bags Franchise's Fourth Biggest Boxed Launch
Probably would have sold more if people could find some freaking copies!
Re: This Is What The Pokémon Bank 3DS Shut Down Update Looks Like
@Wexter I know how set rotation works. I just want an expanded format is all. Even just a casual way to battle ai teams with my old pokemon.
Re: This Is What The Pokémon Bank 3DS Shut Down Update Looks Like
Pokemon needs a separate online battler that connects to home. I'm sick of not being able to use my pokemon with every new game that comes out.

Re: 'Pokémon Presents' Showcase Announced For Today, 27th February 2023
@RupeeClock Love how the footage is mostly all the games up until the 3ds. They know what us nerds want.
Re: Brand New Pokémon Animated Short 'Journey Of Dreams' Comes To China Next Week
@Thief You're absolutely right.
Re: Brand New Pokémon Animated Short 'Journey Of Dreams' Comes To China Next Week
@BrazillianCara Should have clarified, sorry. I'm sure the developers are fine. But Gamefreak and TPC's strategy is so completely awful.
Re: Brand New Pokémon Animated Short 'Journey Of Dreams' Comes To China Next Week
If only the games had an ounce of passion and effort put into them.

Re: Poll: Would You Pay $70 For The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom?
No, but it's because I'm not a big Zelda fan. Metroid prime 4 though? Fiiiiiiine.
Re: Advance Wars' Delayed Switch Release Might Finally Be Reporting For Duty
I actually would like to play this, but if it comes out in March I'll be playing like 3 other things.
Re: Vanillaware President Really Wants A 'Muramasa' Port But Admits "There Are Problems"
Personally I'd like a PC port as well to make the game a bit more timeless, and not just limited to the switch.
