@topher6490 after my experience with mk11, I’m planning to wait til it’s super discounted. I paid for digital deluxe or whatever on switch and felt so cheated at the difference between it and other consoles.
I’m excited to play this but honestly I don’t get the hype. It’s just the same Mario with new power ups and wibbly wobbly levels every now and then from what I’ve seen. Which is great but I’m just not seeeing the fresh innovation everyone is raving about.
Can’t wait to be proven wrong.
On the other hand I’m more excited for Sonic, as that co op is at least a newer exeperience.
I’m already imagining a guy bringing home his date and being like “hey you see my switch? Check THIS out” and opening the back panel, only for her to melt and quiver at how awesome the hidden art is.
Is there a chance we can wear the new outfit(s) in Paldea? In Shield and Seord you could wear that tundra uniform, we’re you able to wear it anywhere or just in DLC areas?
I need them to let me play the Tour music for Berlin and Los Angeles. Although the new versions aren’t awful I REALLY love those two tracks’ mobile game music so much more.
@Ironcore If they made just one Switch game that interacted with the Lego characters I’d be so in. I think the Mario, Luigi and Peach figures are super cute!
Maybe they’ll really get it together and create a Lego Mario game. Those Lego franchise games like Lego Marvel etc always sell well!
Not only will I not buy it at release on Switch, but I refuse to buy it before they release at least one more edition with more features.
I felt very bamboozled pre ordering the complete edition on Switch digitally. Only to be offered more expansions to buy, and when I first saw how it looks on other systems (and that it didn’t crash hardly at ALL!) I was floored.
I spent most of my time the first three months dealing with crashes and loss of progress.
The graphics aren’t just downgraded, they are objectively bad. I wish they would just make the damn game from the ground up and be cel shaded.
That would even give me a reason to buy it on multiple systems.
@nocdaes the only difference is that parents give their kid the credit card instead of giving them quarters in the arcade. It’s not hard to guess that the kids will go overboard.
@Serpenterror this is what throws me, why do people cry foul on video game gambling but the arcade machines that have an empty Nintendo Switch and iPhone case as prizes that are proven to not activate on those, is never brought up?
Look up documentaries on famous arcade games, they say “That was made extremely hard to get more quarters” lol
This was never a complaint until they did it for the pandemic, and people want to keep it.
There’s literally dozens of Pokémon games to play on your couch.
People being upset over this move back toward what it used to be (because they didn’t remove remote passes entirely) are truly missing the point of the game.
And no, you aren’t expected to be able to get everything every single time it’s available. The fans’ compulsion for completion doesn’t necessitate a company giving away all the things. It’s just how it is. I waited years and only just now got a Mime Jr because I’m not in Europe.
That’s the game. Don’t worry I’m sure there will be a Pokémon Couch game soon with how much everyone is stressing out.
And yes, I’m aware of the argument of not being able to do everything, for reasons ranging from income to ability to time. That’s. The. Game.
@Eel but what I mean is, the world is literally crawling with Pokémon. They are everywhere. And overall, it seems to be easy to catch and befriend them.
Maybe it made more sense to me if they were actively using really strong rare Pokémon to take over the world. But they aren’t.
It just doesn’t work lol.
The other teams also have no need to buy Pokémon cause they can just go catch them. And Rocket disbands and gets defeated so much I wouldn’t count on them if I needed a stolen Pokémon lol.
Out of all the teams Giovanni has a rep for being toppled by kids multiple times, lol.
What is the point of team rocket? I feel like Giovanni could literally do so much more with this organization (and I mean in every iteration).
With how the Pokémon world(s) are set up is also makes little sense. The world is literally a utopia aside from “oh but those guys, those guys are just mean”
Who the heck is Giovanni selling Pokémon to? Literally, who buys illegal or stolen Pokémon?
After using a PowerA controller for years we picked this one up, and I totally forgot that the d pad “left” button likes to pretend it’s “up” if I don’t intentionally push the lower part of the button. Ugh.
@RupeeClock did Treasurenauts never come out? I remember that being on my list of games to look out for on 3DS, but I just now realized I never got it lol. Wow.
@Ulysses yes, it’s awesome! I’m hoping we see him with more followers than just monsters, too. Like the many Yiga spies who were loyal (or was that just to the calamity specifically?). I feel like we never see him with other non-creature underlings.

Re: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Wave 6 Brings Back Four Returning Characters This Winter
Nice! With Tour winding down it’s nice to think back to a simpler time when Peachette was my favorite High End Driver!
I would have preferred Poochy since they did a Yoshi’s Island course but I’m still happy.
Have we seen her in biker gear yet!

Re: Video: It's Finally Time To Talk About Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom's Ending
@MonadoBoy they looked at the line “SECRET STONE? DEMON KING!?” and said yes, this is the line we need to have in there as much as possible.
Re: Video: It's Finally Time To Talk About Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom's Ending
Sacrifice undone. Having her cake and eating it too.
I like a happy ending but I don’t like a build up that ends with “just kidding”

High recommend.

Re: Super Mario Bros. Wonder Direct - All Announcements, Features, Power-Ups, Worlds
Am I correct in assuming if I’m playing couch co op with my husband, I won’t be able to see shadow online players? That’s a shame if so, but expected.
It sucks cause I’m getting it as a multiplayer game but I’ll have to give up some features.

Re: Review: Pokémon Trading Card Game - A Cracking Adaptation That Still Holds Up

Re: Review: Pokémon Trading Card Game - A Cracking Adaptation That Still Holds Up
Release the missing two card pop cards!
Re: Brand New Pokémon Dipplin Is The Best Thing About Scarlet & Violet's DLC
I’m guessing the paradox pokemon are Dragon Electric, and Steel Psycic? Just going off what the last two were.
Which would mean Entei could be dragon fire, and Terrakion could be ground psycic.
And I’m assuming Entei will be a pterodactyl.

Excited for Syzoth and him getting a real name in the game, and Havik looks really good too. Wish I could see more of his chaotic gameplay.

Re: Pokémon Scarlet And Violet's Grass Starter Sprigatito Joins The Build-A-Bear Collection
Finally. I spent two months Twitter campaigning for this when they first revealed him lol.
If Quaxly comes out awesome, that’ll be my sixth and complete my team!! (Sprigatito, Meowth, Scorbunny, Mew, Alolan Vulpix).
Re: LEGO Expands Its Mario Collection With Larry And Morton's Airships

Re: Sonic Fans Are Already Really Mad About Sonic Origins Plus
I really want a Sonic Gems Collection for Switch. Really I just want Sonic R again.
Re: Mortal Kombat 1's Switch Port Developers Have Been Revealed
Don’t do it! Red flaaaaaggs lol.
Don’t pre order on Switch. Just wait, the last one was so buggy and also ugly, not “I’m picky about graphics” ugly but sluggish and gross to look at.
I spent so much time redoing things because of crashes and lost progress.
They’ll release a complete edition 2-3 more times so just wait l.

Re: Mario Kart Tour Lawsuit Calls Out "Immoral" Lootbox Gacha System
@nocdaes because parents are responsible for the actions of their children. I didn’t say it’s fair, but that’s how it is.

Re: Pokémon GO Game Director Responds To 'Hear Us Niantic' Social Media Backlash
@Lanmanna they literally just released a free Shaymin research a few weeks ago.
Do people really think we need a free legendary encounter to waste our balls on every seven days?
And yes, of course this is about location data too. It’s a free to play game. It still costs money to make.
