Oh come on. Daemon X Machina is supposed to be a pun on Deus Ex Machina, that one makes sense to have the X in the title.

@Dimey Hey, replying here because they locked comments on the other news. The US price that is always thrown around doesn't include sales tax, as it's different in every state, county, etc. Whereas prices in UK and EU always have VAT counted in.
Therefore, with the sales tax added, both the console and the games cost as much in US as in EU.

@PikminMarioKirby Probably better compression algorithms thanks to better CPU in Switch 2

As usual, comments complaining about the "Major" version not bringing anything new, completely not understanding semantic versioning (semver) and that the number doesn't mean anything to the end user, but is very important for developers using the console's API.

@Kienda No, that's just how piracy works. They aren't doing it for clout. It used to be the case, with scene groups. But nowadays, especially with Switch games, it tends to be completely anonymous.

Surprised the cons don't have
The S-Blade has a hackblood charge!

@DiamondCore That's not how versioning works. Major version change means there are big API changes that make it incompatible with older API versions.

This, combined with some controversial moves by Niantic (increasing prices of Remote Raid Passes, combined with limiting their use to only 5 per day) that directly screw over the players, I can only say, I no longer feel bad whatsoever for using a rooted phone with fake locations to catch anything anywhere I want.

@Sisilly_G It's not sadly. PS4 and PS3 use the same account system (PSN), but PS4 can't play PS3 games at all.
Plus, if they ditch the cartridge port, then people with physicall collections won't be able to play their games anyway if it is backwards compatible.

@Scrubicius No, but if it's out digitally somewhere, it may as well be everywhere.

So it's already on streaming services... Before it officially releases in Poland in theaters. Someone really dropped the ball on this one.

Lol, so it releases for streaming before it comes to theaters in Poland.

@Axecon There already is. PKHeX is a tool that allows to transfer pokemon between save files, including transfers from older generations to newer ones. But, for it to be useful you need to have modded consoles...

@Vil I suspect it's likely because of dub. Either we got the script too late for translation, or they didn't even give it yet fearing any leaks.
It's weird too, as Marvel/Disney doesn't have such issues, MCU movies came out here dubbed sometimes even before USA (I remember most of Europe got Infinity War or Endgame before USA for some reason)

I do not understand, how in the modern age they can delay release of a movie by so long between countries. Spoilers will be everywhere before this gets to poland...
And I'm more than sure Nintendo Life will be a prime source of spoilers, if I learned anything from browsing this site over the years.

As long as the game is fun and not FUNDAMENTALLY broken, people are willing to let a lot slide.
That's why Cyberpunk failed. The PC version was fine, but the previous gen console versions were absolute nightmare, broken in a lot of ways, and that's why it was an issue.
But take Skyrim. The game was (and still is!) a mess, many bugged quests that couldn't be finished, on PC there was a bug with different languages where you couldn't do Esbern's encounter because his audio wouldn't play, to say physics were broken is like to say nothing, and the patches were introducing MORE BUGS (anyone remember first or second patch to the game that made dragons fly backwards and breathe fire from the other end?). And yet it's one of the more succesful games there were, BEFORE all the rereleases of it. Why? Because even with all that, it was fun to play.
And so is Scarlet and Violet once you ignore the low performance and occasional glitches.

@nessisonett I think that's a good thing? Why bring attention to it and risk it getting DMCAd

@somnambulance Two reasons for that. First, comparing my old set (some starter pack from the first gen games) to newer starter packs, I see the HP of pokemon just in general being higher than in the past. Secondly, that Gardevoir is an "EX" card. It has stronger moves and much more HP, but when it's knocked out the opponent gets 2 prize cards instead of one.

@k8sMum Now it does, in update to the article from today. The comment you replied to was from 21 days ago.

@Mario500 I don't see how I insulted anyone. And it isn't even that rude. It could be worded much worse after all.

@Luigi05 Yeah, I realized that after I made the comment, but it's still a d*** move.

You know what guys? Screw you for this headline. Some people here actually watch the show and want to avoid spoilers for an upcoming episode...
What's next, you guys are gonna post the leaked final evolutions of Scarlet and Violet starters?

I'm 100% sure Nevada, or at least specifically Las Vegas, has 0% digital sales tax as well. My imported 3DS (purchased by a friend in Vegas in fact) is set to that region and I never had to pay any additional tax.

I still find it surprising this article is making rounds on several gaming outlets. There is literally nothing more than just this one screenshot, showing Marin and Tarin's house and... that's it. Nothing else is shown, there aren't any following tweets with more, and the dream code isn't available. I just, don't get why this got so much attention.

More like unwilling to do so. MH Rise already uses internet connection to grab event data. Capcom has a huge network infrastructure for a ton of their games. A simple server that handles logging in from within the game (no even need for an account, the game could generate a code that it later uses to authenticate with it) and then grabs the save data off of console/PC and when you log using the same ID on the other console/PC it downloads it. It's absolutely not hard for them to do, they just either don't want to or Nintendo told them 'no'.
I mean, the goddamn Witcher 3 has cross saves between Switch and PC.

I hope they do this and then FIFA strikes a deal with some other company to make a football game with Fifa in title, messing up sales of EA's new game.

Well, I managed to get the My Nintendo one, but the Lego site... Jesus, does it suck balls apparently. The rewards refuse to load, but EVENTUALLY they did and I got a code for Luigi. Yes, a code. Apparently, you have to BUY something from the lego store, and you can use that code to add Luigi to the order for free. FUN.

Considering how well Persona 4 Golden sold on Steam when it released, I'm hoping Persona 3 will arrive on it as well. Hopefully a mix between the PSP version (being able to control ALL party members as well as some minor QoL stuff) and the PS2 version (better graphics than the PSP port, having the actual anime cutscenes instead of in-engine ones the PSP port had)

@SalvorHardin Actually, they should. It's their competition reaping profits off of Nintendo's content.

Dunno how I feel about the 9-volt's section being called 'Classics' with games like Splatoon or Three Houses in there. While good games for sure, they are hardly old enough to be called classics. And sure, 9-volt wasn't full-on about retro games, having modern titles in, but again, 'Classics'

They are just shooting themselves in the foot. This strategy will probably work for the first game they release that may. Maybe second. But after that I wouldn't count on many preorders.

I'd be willing to spend that on a Wario game, as long as it ends with Land and not Ware

@Snakesglowcaps Not to mention it's impossible as it requires all 3 mushrooms to do it once.

Whoever was doing this article must've been drunk. First two games have the same 'structure', that is:
Japanese title/English title
Japanese cover/English cover

Then suddenly Tsubasa drops in, where titles are in reverse, but not the cover art, making it look weird.
Then we go to Link's Awakening where for some reason we have English Cover/Japanese Cover, swapping art around.

Is it minor? Maybe. But for someone who never saw any of Street Fighter 2 cover art I for example don't know which one is Japanese and which one English. If it was only one random occurence? Then I can assume left is Japan right is English. But first, Link's Awakening, which has same title/license is the only one who swapped art so far, and looking lower Area 88 also has swapped covers.

Is it that hard to STICK to a design and not make it completely random as article goes?

All I wanted is Meloetta. All mythicals of Gen V made it by her, even goddamn Jirachi made it... I don't get why they are selective with mythical pokemon of all things.

I played the demo and honestly, it seemed to fare much better in handheld mode than in TV mode. I started playing in handheld mode and didn't notice anything wrong, then after ~10 minutes of running around I put it in the dock and definitely the framerate went down noticeably.

They added all legendaries, but I question why they added only a FEW mythical pokemon and not all of them (a bit sad my favorite one didn't make it)

@tanaka2687 @AtlanteanMan @chardir It won't be 200 to play with 2 players. 100 is for a game and the car. Video shown when they played multiplayer they did so on one Switch (in TV mode). More than likely additional cars will be sold separately. For how much however is yet to be seen, but I wouldn't expect it for any less than 50. Those cars are not THAT small, and they come with integrated camera.

Getting very strong Binding of Isaac vibes from this

@PsiSteve Which is why it's optional.

Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle - $14.99 (75%) / £7.49 (75%), Season Pass - $9.99 (50%) / £7.99 (50%), Donkey Kong Adventure - $7.49 (50%) / £5.99 (50%)

Mario + Rabbids Gold - $19.99 (75%) / £14.99 (70%)

Does the Gold contain both Season Pass and DK Adventure?

@Friendly There is a SMALL chance it will work. Splatoon 2 had different versions actually, I found it the hard way when I tried to buy Octo Expansion from US eShop despite owning European version, it didn't work. Plus, splatfests were locked to the region of the game.

HOWEVER, Animal Crossing is not a competitive game, so it's very likely it won't have any regional differences.

@Kalmaro Oh I'm aware. Although Pokemon Home is a thing that's coming too.
And I'm not bashing the DLC per se, I own the game and likely will buy the DLC myself. It's just that, my problem with the whole SwSh stuff is not that pokemon were cut, or worse graphics than they could do. My main problem is the fact they are just lying to us about stuff.

Remember when they said there won't be more pokemon added in an update? And yet here we are (and before someone says that it's DLC and not update - with DLC you can catch them, but you can obtain all the pokemon introduced by it without DLC by trading)

@GameOtaku It defends on the head you have equipped. If you are close enough to an enemy and they are within your 'sights' (circle, square, depends on equipped head) the guns do lock onto the enemy, when you pull the trigger it will fire at them. There is a visual cue for when it happens.

@Peshokinha The problem isn't the fact pokemon are cut anymore. The problem is that Game Freak lied about the reason they are cut (they said they are making the models from scratch: https://www.polygon.com/pokemon/2019/7/13/20693069/pokemon-sword-shield-pokedex-limited-game-freak-statement-nintendo-switch ) while in truth, now that dataminers have access to the games, it's been confirmed that the models are exactly the same as they were in Sun and Moon.

I'm surprised the numerous bugs in the game (like, missing music in fight against the box legendary) are not mentioned in the review, as well as terrible quality of animations (which is what Game Freak said that it's why they are cutting the pokedex for, to work on THOSE). Not to mention that the game runs at 720p and looks MUCH worse than any other Nintendo game on the Switch and is just slightly above 3DS quality.
Not to mention Game Freak outward lying. Game may not be out, but some stores broke the street date and the game's data is around, accessible. Models in the game have been checked and they are exactly the same as models in Sun and Moon. And Game Freak said that they are making them from scratch. Here is a link to article where they claim that: https://www.polygon.com/pokemon/2019/7/13/20693069/pokemon-sword-shield-pokedex-limited-game-freak-statement-nintendo-switch

I don't want to be negative about this series, I love it a lot. But they should give it 2 years instead of 1 year and releasing an incomplete game.

I don't believe this one bit, but there is currently no way to prove it. Currently. Once the games are released, you can bet they will be datamined to hell within days, THEN we will get a confirmation if the models are the same as in 3DS.
For the record, besides the textures, the 3DS models are EXACTLY the same as the ones used in Smash Ultimate and Let's Go games. The textures are different simply because they are downsized for 3DS.

OK, one rule of thumb, NEVER send something so valuable through normal postal services. ESPECIALLY USPS. Go for a courier service, it's much safer, and considering it costed 60k, then the cost difference in shipping is literally nothing.

@Vriess @OorWullie On consoles they are. Redefining controls is made mostly for PC, because some controllers pick up weird, and the keyboard layout is a mess. But since they make it on there, it will simply work on consoles as well.
