@Bass_X0 it shouldn't be considering MK8 is Wii U's mario kart

@chardir it's Nintendo gacha no.18646393. Nintendo loves it's mobile slot machines marketed at children and rated for them

@MsJubilee exactly and they were far less work than this game. People are being super whiny with this game because they want it but don't want to pay new game price for it despite it being a new game.

If you have to make up history to justify your argument then your point is invalid

@MrGawain same with all publishers

I just finished it. Really really great game. The regular, police work, investigation aspect was actually my favourite part and the location design and graphics were gorgeous. A sequel would be great

No because I just have too much to actually play right now between Three Houses, SMT and Astral Chain with Links Awakening and Dragon Quest on the horizon. Hopefully somewhere down the line though

@Galenmereth the legal system usually requires broader public pressure when the ones in the wrong are a company big or small.

God this comment section is cancer. Worker mistreatment isn't some SJW myth, it's a real thing and when it gets reported on you all complain. What the hell is wrong with you people?

@Kienda it definitely will take a long while to fully catch up with all the seasonal ones which are my favourites but yes, at least they give us some from the go

Ugh I really want this on Switch as I dont have much opportunity to play my xbox anymore but I really don´t want to start again with my collection of Hanzo and McCree skins. I don´t want crossplay but cross progression should be a no brainer in this game and the only reason it´s not present is so they can hopefully charge people for lootboxes to bulk their collections up again

Yes, releasing a bunch of gacha games at rapid pace (FEH, Dragalia Lost, Pokémon Masters and Mario Kart) which are gambling games through and through with age ratings of 3+ for PM and MK is absolutely a sign that they don't want to 'overdo' microtransactions.

This is pure bs. Nintendo don't want the stink that gacha games can kick up right now if people focus in on them because of how inherently predatory they are but they do want the absolute bank that they bring in. Theres a reason that none of the pre-release Pokémon Masters material shows anything to do with the summoning aspect.

Oh and how could I forget Animal Crossing Pocket Camp. A game where the entire gameplay is customisation and post-launch they introduced loot boxes for almost all customisation and plummeted down the amount of currency awarded by playing.

Nintendo are not the saints their PR makes them out to be, they make money though the same scummy ways that other companies do but no one complains.

@LordMolecule brilliant strawman

@LordMolecule that means nothing. It's a game with gambling that doesn't have a rating befitting of a game with gambling because they want to make money off off encouraging gambling habits within young children. Whether it's 'free' or not means nothing. If EA had a specifically kid-focussed brand the size of Pokémon and they made a gacha game for phones with a 3+ age rating, you wouldn't hear the end of it.

@Rayquaza2510 it's not available in Belgium because Nintendo won't abide by their gambling laws as to do so would be an admittance that this is gambling and should not have a rating that allows children to play.

So it's a guaranteed gacha game now right? So it's a game where the core function for obtaining characters is gambling? And it's targeted directly at children because Pokémon directly targets children as the target audience, right?

Will Nintendo receive backlash for this or will they go unquestioned despite the fact that if EA did this, they'd be dragged through the mud?

Every single 3DS unit had one issue or another ending with my 2DS XL which has light bleed on the outer casing. Every single one of my 6 joy cons have drifted causing very high costs for myself and my partner. Seems Nintendo hardware hates me

Hoping to finish at least one of the 4 Three Houses routes before this comes out jaja

Trying to finish Torna after work. Want to complete it before getting properly into FE3H and MUA3 because it's been in my backlog for so long

No SMT or Pokémon Conquest

God its really called the 'shame break'? Yikes

I'm sure the 'its art' and 'it should be a 10/10 because other websites gave it a 8 or 9/10' crew will be here soon to once again complain about a reviewer doing their job seen as they only ever seem to take issue with reviews about this stuff in particular

Edit: god the comments are even worse than usual.

Most advertised + only lord datable by both genders + 2 paths within her one route + ONLY gay romance option on her route and most lesbian options available on her route = obvious popularity

@Shade_Koopa yeah that's what I took from it too which would be a massive shame considering so many of the splatfest maps were really good for incorporating more of the unique mechanics that the story mode had.

So are they going to add all the splatfest exclusive maps to the rotation now?

@RiasGremory 'reviewing the game on its content instead of speculating in its favour is dumb'

Lmao of course there's someone in here calling the writers sad virgins lmao.

@gloom haha yeah there are definitely games that can be good in a 'shared ridicule' kind of way that have almost no merit on their own

Have had to spend £120 replacing mine and my partner's main pairs (we mostly play handheld) and can't afford to replace our secondary pair. We tried all the home remedies suggested and none worked and it became impossible to play anything properly due to the severity. Easily the most expensive console I've had to date and really not impressed.

@Aquamine-Amarine I was referring to the commentors who are very right wing and nowadays that does often equate to bad. Most news sites tend to be ´left-wing´ because facts are seen to be a left wing concept nowadays

And referring to your bit defending Trump, he literally self-published a racist tirade on his twitter account two days ago.

Yikes, I knew people on this website were pretty right wing but wow.

That's a really big improvement but I don't like the idea of buying a new revision before the inevitable Pro so I'll stick with my launch Switch for now

@DrJoson haha yeah 6 is fun as hell and much better now knowing that it didn't become the norm for the franchise. Resi 7 and Rev 2 have done a lot to display that 6 is an oddball and that makes it even more fun to me

So tempted to buy Strange Journey and Apocalypse after loving PQ, PQ2, P3 and P5 recently

@GameOtaku are you seriously suggesting that only people with positive biases towards a game should review a game? That's ridiculous and trying to force away all possible negative reviews just because you love Senran Kagura

God people on this site really won't accept anything lower than a 9 for this type of game. The review lists many problems with the game and the score they gave seems fair. If you still want to buy it then that's up to you but saying the score or review is wrong is ridiculous.

Having had 3 sets of joycons drift and having to replace them all, costing me a fortune, I'm a bit sceptical of this. Conceptually the joycons are great but really?

Lots of negativity as usual. Love the show, like the game a lot, really want that Hopper skin but a bit low on V bucks right now so hopefully it stays for a few days so I can grind some more

@Galenmereth the only reason this has become an issue is because they used it as an excuse for why we cant transfer all Pokémon from previous games after announcing a paid-for transfer service (when all previous Pokémon models are already made and being used in this game)

Yes. They are. Literally no discussion to be had.

And the human animation being grid based outside of cutscenes is hilariously bad

@TheBlue10 exactly. This same narrative runs its course for every game that has negative PR prior to launch and it only stops once the next game is on the horizon just to then be repeated if there is negative press for that one. Journalists are complaining, fans are complaining, the company is responding with a non-response response. This is more than just people complaining on message boards and a sign of a shift in the attitudes of a large swath of the target audience.

And before people respond that only children are the target audience: why then was most of the marketing for Let's Go about revisiting Kanto when most children now never experienced it in the first place? The idea that the company that lives off nostalgia isn't targeting teens and adults is beyond ridiculous

@Xelha yeah because gacha makes those big gambling bucks. And there's no way Nintendo can say they aren't targeting kids here either as it's Pokémon so gauranteed this won't release in Belgium as they won't want that adults only rating to scar their brand image

Makes me hopeful for a Persona Q3 on Switch

@gcunit playing pretty much every other game on the market didn't make me straight so the answer to your moronic question is no.

The graphics and gameplay look terribly bad. If it wasn't for the 'fanservice' aspect this would not be getting looked at at all

@Kalmaro the whole point of cloud saves is protection for console loss or damage

I NEED the portability nowadays and I've never got round to playing this before so im excited for it to come to switch. People are focussing on the 540p bit but that's specifically in portable. Xenoblade 2 drops lower than that and thats still playable (although it is noticeable when it drops as far as Xeno does). 540p on portable is fine and so long as frame rate is relatively stable this will be a great addition for switch.

@LegendOfStewart 540p on a 6 inch screen is fine

This is definitely the Majora's Mask to BOTW's Ocarina of Time. Which is great imo as Majora's Mask is my fave Zelda game ever

I never got round to playing this on PS4 so I'll get it here. Very hype

Ooo thats soon! Can't wait!

Moving country in September and will be living with my partner's family until we get set up there so I'll be buying this on Switch as I don't know if I'll have space to use or set up my PS4 or Xbox
