I think GameFreak is like the Japanese equivalent of Electronic Arts these days. They make games, annually but they make them in a way that never really deviate from an established formula. Just more of the same, nonstop. Pretty lame, tbh.
In the end, the only opinion that should matter, should be your own. I’ll be downloading this soon. I love the first two games immensely and I bet I’ll enjoy this one as well.
To quote AVGN’s James Rolfe- WHAT THE HELL WERE THEY THINKING?!
Nintendo has some really poor advertising campaigns lately; Cripes, I really miss the Iwata era… at least those ads were fun, exciting and kept your attention.
This advert just REEKS of desperation and cluelessness.
What’s the point of having a Shiny if YOU HAVE TO BUY ONE?! *EDIT I misread the caption but will stay say this- why get something for free or purchase said thing at all?
Wasn’t the original point to find a shiny in the wild and catching it for yourself?
@Beaucine I tried getting into NEStroid and played for about 5 hours altogether and couldn’t get into it. I mean it’s a landmark game of course but the stiff movements, samey backgrounds and brutal difficulty without a proper save station just killed it for me. I understand your sentiments though and it has a unique vibe all its own. I much prefer the latter sequels though.
@JohnnyMind Zero Mission had some of the best music of the GBA era. Sure it was a bit bleary on the tiny speaker but if you were lucky enough to download the OST and listen on your computer, it was pure aural bliss.
@Divide_and_Wander Cyberpunk should be your next big purchase/download. I got it the day I got my Switch 2 and I can’t put it down. It’s absolutely terrific and it is still being patched a bit here and there to this day and it runs like a dream on the system.
Happy to hear it was successful; definitely picking this one up soon. From what I’ve read, it could use a bit more polish and some patches but that’s expected. Can’t wait for Silent Hill.

Re: Rumour: Assassin's Creed Shadows On Switch 2 May Clash With Metroid Prime 4
Metroid Prime 4 should be a hot seller; assassin’s creed is played out at this point.

Some damn fine games in this list. I own a majority of them already and love them to bits.

I want this. Really badly.

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Super Mario Galaxy + Galaxy 2?
10/10. The price is a touch high but the games are spectacular and a great time on the go.
Re: Rumour: Silent Hill 2 May Be Coming To Switch 2 As Its Exclusivity Window Ends
Would be amazing if true. Great game!

Re: Mario Kart World And Donkey Kong Bananza Shortlisted For 'Console Game Of The Year'
@charliecarrot anti-matter is known for not following conversations like these in the past, sadly.
it’s a bit strange behavior I’ve noticed on his part…
Re: Mario Kart World And Donkey Kong Bananza Shortlisted For 'Console Game Of The Year'
@Anti-Matter just because you don’t like something, that doesn’t mean the quality of said thing is poor.
Re: Mario Kart World And Donkey Kong Bananza Shortlisted For 'Console Game Of The Year'
Bit premature… release some more games for the console and then we will talk.

@AverageGamer just ignore it. No one is forcing you to read them.

Re: Poll: Will You Play Resident Evil Requiem In First-Person Or Third-Person?
First person as intended. I feel the third person perspective will cheapen the scares and overall mood.
