I kind of agree. I've seen game trailers that do this and while I like the CGI, I just want to see the game itself to know if it's for me and how it plays.

So yeah, there can be an exception, but nearly always, I just want to see some of the gameplay.

In some cases, it also can feel like wasting my time.

I'm not against not having CGI, as it can be nice. But usually, game trailers really need to quickly show the gameplay aspects in the main trailer.

I'm glad everyone is having fun with the game. I think they skillfully made all the mechanics work in an engaging way.

The only part that bugs me is how close the Pals look from different parts of Pokemon. But it is a parody game and done as a joke on purpose and to try to get Pokemon fans into it too, from what I've understood.

I still would rather the designs change a bit more as they should've done more unquie designs that are inspired by something, instead of cut, paste and copy. But if it's all legal it'll probably stay that way for those reasons.

Nice to hear on the February release date and a bit more information about the story and setting. I expect we'll get a more in-depth trailer soon too, in a Feburary direct soon sounds likely.

I'm expecting it to turn out really good.

I'm happy with all of that. 3D, 2D, RPG, next mingame, maybe a Super Kirby Clash 2 sometime as well? I agree that Kirby could make a really good and interesting RPG just because of the setting and the lore and the potential with the stories.

I'd like another platformer as well though, open world sounds a really good idea but anything done well with Kirby would still work.

Forgotten Land was great.

Looking forward to what they do with Kirby next.

@BLD Those clips did go by very fast. I thought that too but I still wasn't left with impression it'd be quite like that. I still think it looks like different minigame segments with the different costumes. To me that look fun to join in with, rather than rushing through everything like in the trailer. I.e A better length of time than just 5 seconds of doing this and that, but probably this is still minigames and lots of platformer segments.

It might not be for everyone but the action looks good so far.

The problem is that it's not clear enough for everyone to understand yet but I think they're hiding a lot of the footage on purpose right now. I think they wanted it to be quick glimpses on purpose. It depends if a better trailer is planned in a February direct.

I feel a lot of Nintendo games now hide most of the info until very very close to release. Side Order seems to be doing that and TotK did it.

The graphics and models look good. I think they should just make it clearer, but so far it looks good to me and not something that will be too rushed, so I'm not worried at the moment. I can't prove anything until more is revealed for certain though.

They need a clearer trailer but I think that will come, I'd wait longer before worrying as the trailers are short but not bad footage either, but I get it's close to release now and the game should start getting clearer.

Looking great. I also like her model design here a lot as well.

Haven't made up my mind yet if this is a priority game for me or not, but I'm glad it's looking really good.

A lot of good action.

I didn't expect the game to be good and it sounds like it had a lot of thought put into it. I'm not surprised if it was surprising.

People seem to like the mechanics a lot. I do doubt that most of it really copies Pokemon beyond some inspiration.

But yes come on, those designs are clear cut Pokemom copies. Some of them are like photoshopping different parts of Pokemon and combining different Pokemon pieces together.

So yeah, there paradox Pokemons are quite interesting. I haven't encountered those in Area Zero just yet.

Jokes aside, I really don't know. Are the designs legal? I'm not a lawyer so I've no idea but I'm sure they'd know they'd have to tread carefully with this. I don't get how this one case is legal but it's looking that way. But yes, they took a bit more then just inspiration on that one aspect of the game, some/most of the models themselves.

Maybe they will have to change the designs more, to look a bit less like Pokemon pieces, I actually hope that happens, but what else can possibly be sued?

I'm still glad it's a fun game and people enjoy it a lot. Certainly has brought up a lot of disscusion over here and everywhere else on the Internet. Most people seem really positive. So I'll trust that and I'm glad in that aspect.

I actually don't really like how close the designs are either and the copying there is extreme. Can understand it being pointed out by others. I partly wonder if it's meant to be a joke in that regard, that's it's done on purpose to create a joke out of it. I admit it's a bit funny but not really the greatest idea, imo. I'm sure they could've done better differentiation with their designs.

However, I wouldn't say anything else about the game is a direct copy of Pokemon, the rest is another monster catcher game with some big difference from the most popular one. As Pokemon does not own all future monster catcher games at the same time.

I'm glad people seem to be enjoying the game though. It sounds like they probably put a lot of thought on how to make it fun. I like that aspect of it.

@JohnnyMind Yeah, I can see that as it definitely has a lot of positive feedback on YouTube and Steam. It's on my "keep my eyes on it" list. I'd like to check the feedback after some time has passed but I think it's good from the reception so far. Hopefully it is good then.

@JohnnyMind Just very recently, YouTube recommended a lot of videos of people playing this to me. I scanned through quite a few of them and the people were mostly very positive saying the game is fun. Only 1 out of around 7-8 of those videos was negative. It also has mostly good reviews on Steam.

But I haven't played it myself, so I can't help much beyond that. I'd still seek further feedback, as I don't know, but it has an audience that likes it from the feedback I've seen.

It's also still Early Access on Steam.

It looks great. I will try the demo sometime. I won't look just yet but I am interested and the story itself looks very well done from what's been showcased.

I was already guessing the month is likely in February, for the same reasons, but I wasn't guessing on a certain day.

I'll keep assuming February as that's the usual pattern now but as always they can change months and dates. I don't see a reason too though, so I agree really as that remains my guess as well.

I plan too but not right now. I finally finished The Teal Mask pt1 recently, so I'm still in pt2.

With just my guessing, I don't think it'll be more than 500GB or even that much. But 256GB, or about that, sounds possible. I think it'll be at least 128GB.

It's hard to tell what Nintendo will do this time. I'm guessing it depends on their thoughts on the file size of their future games for that console.

1TB would be great but Nintendo will have to had change their views and mindsets for Switch 2, for this. And that's possible and can happen. My guess is still less then that.

It sounds like it's because he'll be much busier now with game development but he has done a lot of videos and shared a lot of useful wisdom.

I wasn't sure what the timeframe would be but I'm assuming that really means it's progressing.

I just hope it's good. I think it has a chance. When we see it then we'll get a much better idea. Really hoping it'll be good.

I was thinking, what am I voting based on? With my opinion, the image itself can go to Japan as it looks really nice but it's just so far off from showing Mario Golf. I voted NA/EU for that reason. Both images are good to look at but only one really shines in showing it's based on Mario. But for myself, Japan's one still has a nicer image.

To me, it's something and it's still big as it will be of help. Whether they should give more or not, and yes they really can give more, but at least it's a good action.

So I'm pleased to hear it. I just hope for the best for the people involved. It's good to give to a charity with a good cause making a difference. (Don't have to give too much if that's too hard but anything can always help). I'm not saying that last statement applies to TPC, in this case.

Glad he's happy, it's true!

Yeah he's done a good job so far. I'd like to see him improve on the Wario's voice a little more, I'm sure that'll happen too, but otherwise it's been good.

That is a really hard choice because I want to vote for more than one.

I still went for TotK opening as it was really good. They handled the atmosphere, writing and art really well. A lot of excitement in the opening.

I thought SMW's Piranha Plants on Parade, TTYD, Metroid Prime's Remaster shadow dropped and F-Zero 99 are good picks too.

Pikmin 4 in it's entirely was a great surprise as well.

I'm just really glad they're putting TTYD on Switch.

I'm also surprised with the E rating. I wasn't sure they'd be able to quite get it. People above have said most of the reasons that I also think of.

There are definitely a few mature themes in the game and they aren't quite all just about flirting either.

Overall though, most of the game feels very E+ anyway. There is really good use of humour in TTYD. A very enjoyable game.

I just want WW already, TP as well would be great. I just have this impression we'll finally get them sometime but nobody can guess accurately when. That's how Nintendo's left it.

They'd be great on this Switch, I'm sure. Waiting until Switch 2 before they drop is also looking more and more likely. Unless they announce them very soon.

I just have to leave it as "one day, who knows when" and not get too excited beyond that.

It does look really good. I really like the idea and animation style. If I ever do get Netflix, I'll keep this in mind.

The free trial of the Suika Game was really fun. It's cheap so it's on my wishlist now but I've also had other games I've been playing.

I'm surprised by the Dragon Quest Monsters placement but am glad for them and the player's. If it's really fun as well then that's great.

I don't know where I stand fully. Pokemon Legends Arceus was really fun for me. The base content for Scarlet was mixed for me. I thought the writing was good, it had some fun gameplay element's but it shouldn't have been released in that state.

I was disappointed but I want to know what they'll do next, as that will determine if I keep buying them. As long as I can have fun I probably will but it really depends on what is released next and if it's released in a good condition.

I feel they disappointed me somewhat overall. But I did enjoy the base game's writing as I said before. I just feel very mixed. The game was still very enjoyable for me overall but the lag, trainers walking into your Pokemon, lights flickering, etc. It just takes away from it at the same time.

Pokemon-like games are great. Cassette Beasts sounds really good in that area. As does the others mentioned here. Coromon and maybe Temtem & Nexomon. I see lots of pros and cons on the feedback to those games but it's nice to see others take on that type of formula and see what they produce.

I can also mention that Pokemon Sword disappointed me greatly, except the DLC, and that was due to the writing being really bad or not my taste. I thought Scarlet and Violet avoided most of those mistakes but then they had all those other issues you couldn't not see, I just agree with the view TPC need to have more development time with their games as right now it's just so bad how there is always a lacking area in the recent games. I don't feel Arceus falls into that category though.

TotK, Wonder and Super Mario RPG are just really great. Pikmin 4 is just really great too, am happy for the series how this turned out.

Most of the games I've heard of and they sound good from people's reactions.

Mario Wonder and TotK for me.

And yes, Super Mario RPG too. Just because I could finally play it properly and it's really fun. Mostly too easy but still fun.

Sounds fun. It's more about time for me but I'll keep it in my mind, there are just a lot of farming sims and time as well. But I've played and enjoyed a few now.

Alright, I just hope it can be a good epilogue like the base game's last story was, doesn't have to be the same but just conclude it really well and still have something good to it. Even if it's small.

We'll find out soon.

It looks really good from the Switch trailer, screenshots and information.

I definitely like the concepts a lot but I think I already have my Switch playing games for the rest of December.

Pokemon Unite for me. I know it's an odd niche choice but I'm pretty good at it, (for me), and overall play it a lot.

I still have breaks from it, had a 3 month break from it recently.

Funny enough, TotK is 4th so it doesn't appear for me but my own Switch data shows me it's 4th. Still nearly on there, though!

Stardew Valley is 2nd and Pokemon Scarlet is 3rd.

I don't expect to return to Pokemon Scarlet after the DLC but I do plan to put a lot more hours into TotK and Stardew Valley. I will continue playing Pokemon Unite, as always, as well.

I'm surprised Pokemon Scarlet beat TotK to be honest, but I'm not surprised with Pokemon Unite nor Stardew Valley.

This happens to be the 1st year I've played Stardew Valley, at all, as well.

I really don't think that's a good idea, at least with Mario and probably Zelda. With the tones, themes and differences in all the skins and guns running around and all, it just sounds odd to me. I don't see many Nintendo characters fitting in. Funny enough, Samus is probably okay?

As others said, Nintendo would have to gain an advantage too, but I think right now they just wouldn't want that with their IPs, as they're very protective of them and careful how they're used.

I'm glad to hear they found a way to finally develop their games and their concepts. It's really surprising though, and on top of how long it's taken, how did they finally do it?

This does look great though and is a nice surprise. The games also look good so far. Looking forward to hearing what other series they plan to bring back out.

Really pleased to hear. Pikmin 4 is a lot of fun and it's just nice Pikmin finally gets a good reward for something.

Agreed. An open world in the style of Wind Waker, or else Twilight Princess, could be next, maybe? Or they might try something else fresh but it sounds like it's going to stay open world from Aonuma's previous comments.

Really sad to hear, hopefully everyone is still okay.

It's nice they're still supporting the game in some form. I'm glad to hear it.

I don't feel like I need the info but I'll probably watch it regardless. I do plan to get into the DLC sometime soon but haven't just yet. For me, I'm sure I'll enjoy it overall.

Not my type of game usually but have to say the graphics look so good.

If it's Sonic, I hope it's another good game. I thought Sonic Frontiers was quite good, from most of the game, which is what I played so far. I was surprised but hopefully it's a sign Sega will make their games better quality. We'll see.

This looks way too hard for me, I'm not as good at games as some others but if control of the difficulty makes it work, and sounds like it will, then I might be interested.

Gameplay would be the main factor for myself.

I really love the cheerful look of this. I don't plan to get Netflix over it but if I ever do get Netflix for a month or so, I'll keep this in mind.

It's really well made from the trailer.

I love the artstyle. I know it's so much like Stardew Valley, but it visually looks really nice. This is one of the indie games that caught my interest, so I'll check on what the reviews say upon release.

I'd prefer the single-player route, so that's the main thing I'll be checking about it at the time.

Hopefully both ways of playing is really fun and it'll be a good indie game on Switch. It looks very likely it'll be the case.

I thought it was pretty good, a few games in there have caught my interest.

Like many others, I really really can't miss out on it! The graphics look so colourful as well.

BotW Zelda was sort of a plot twist arc, part of which has Zelda feel she's under extreme pressure and overwhelmed, so I didn't mind as much how she was voiced then. I did wish she gave the voice more confidence in TotK though.

If she changed how Zelda sounds, it might be okay but as others said she is in her 40s now and I'm not convinced either, that she could look like the Zelda from the different video games and play the role visually correctly for that reason. I guess it depends but I don't have confidence in it.

I got burnt-out on it but loved the gameplay from where I left off. Honestly, I think it's a great game.

At the moment I have Super Mario RPG coming soon and I also want to get into the Pokemon Scarlet DLC, as I feel the gameplay is still Pokemon fun but agree with it's flaws.

I will go back to TotK though for sure, it does feel like such a great game to me. I love the sky islands and would've loved more of those, those were what I tried to get to first with the Zonai builds. But it's all really good. Underground is a fun challenge too.

But I get it's not for everyone and that is fine and makes sense too.

To me that is a good sign as it shows care for the fans. I'm just going to wait for more information and then a trailer but I believe it can work, so I'm hoping so.

Overall, I think they added a lot of good tracks, although I don't think we needed so many tour tracks at the same time. A few were nice.

I think adding all these tracks was a good move from Nintendo, while we wait for the next Mario Kart. I'd assume it will be for the next console.

This is my next game, already pre-ordered. I really enjoyed the trailer, definitely agree the bright graphics look really colourful and good.
