Bought on 3DS mainly to support the system and because I still like my 'more' pocket friendly Nintendo gaming device. Will pick it up on Switch when it goes on sale, though. And probably Xbox as well. This game is SERIOUSLY that good
Eh, I hope secretly Gamefreak is actually making a more traditional Pokemon game. I know we wanted change from the series but this seems a bit drastic and dare I say, a bit of a cop out to tie in with GO
Edit: I spoke too soon. Apparently gen 8 is still coming
It's nice and all Nintendo is trying to give us a online service similar to the big boys but I'm no apologist. It's 2018. Certain things are standard by now. In 2006, we different standards for an online service on a console. 12 years later, messaging and universal voice chat among others, is STANDARD. Nintendo can't be held at a different standard because this is their first shot at this kind of service. It was supposed to launch last September but it got delayed a year, and honestly, I can't see why. Nothing really changed about the service in that year so I am baffled. Previous Nintendo systems had messaging (one tied to an app on 3DS and the other on a dead web browser for Wii U) and now we are taking a step back. Also, there really is no point the friends list on Switch. It serves a way to add people you know to play certain games online with but THAT'S it. Nothing else. In 2018. And the fact that Nintendo is hush hush about everything they are working on including this service, is a tad disheartening. Especially when the Xbox division at Microsoft in recent years has taken fan feedback so seriously. The system is frequently improving because Xbox communicates with the players and fans. Nintendo, has much to learn. But then again, they always have
Kinda underwhelming as most of this is old news. Surprise, surprise. Is it voice for these games or for every game? Unless Nintendo is holding out on us, I'm unsurprisingly worried
@GameOtaku I'm pretty sure Nintendo stated the original models and the 2DS couldn't run SNES VC and it seems likely because of the lower clock speed in those models
Great to hear if you still enjoy gaming on the 3DS like myself. Love my Switch but my 3DS is more portable. Not to mention, it has a giant library especially if you count DS compatibility. No "kill the 3DS and focus on Switch" comments here. The Switch is already looking to have another great year from a first party point of view and third parties are jumping on the bandwagon by the day practically. It"ll be interesting to see what Nintendo has in store for the 3DS going forward
@Souldin I should have said this earlier, but I do prefer for the same reasons as you, Adventure. And I didn't mean to rag on Star Allies. I 100% the game over a weekend and I liked what was there but coming out of Robobot, I expected more from Star Allies, especially for the 4th Kirby game in this sub-series. But you can't please everyone. Everyone has their own favorites for their own reasons and that's okay
@StephenYap3 True but it's the pacing of the game and the level layout that makes Adventure/Nightmare so great for me. Plus the way they are played out, you don't really need more than one move per ability. I find the different abilities more focused and that played into the level design of the game. That's just me though
Nightmare in Dreamland was a better overall game. But at least the series is getting good sales again. Now maybe they can make a Kirby game for Switch that actually looks like some effort went into it
As much as I want to get hyped, I will temper my expectations. Too many times an I left underwhelmed because of the big build ups these events have. Fingers crossed its Sonic related and it's kick ass
Good on Ninty and Microsoft for doing this. I'm hoping other games do this in the future. I currently play Rocket League way more on Switch than I do on Xbox
I greatly dislike NOA customer service. Their technicians are behind the curve when it comes to knowing how to properly solve hardware issues and half the time when they fix whatever issue my system would have, they sent it back to me with damage to my unit. Maybe I'm just cursed when it comes to Ninty customer support since everyone else seems to be fine with the service
I can't stress enough how great the story is in this game. It's even more compelling if you played the first one. I really felt immersed in the game during the more cinematic moments
After hearing the voice for Pikachu in this game, I'm not sure if Renolds can do it for me in the movie. Time will tell. I'm ready for this game though!
Wondering when you guys would post about this. No word of a lie, when I found out about this, I had tears running down my face. Sorta like when Mania was first revealed. Love you Christan Whitehead
What happened here? This game isn't pushing the Switch hard enough to drop to 30 fps and what Kirby game (let alone any platform) stops the games flow to load the next room for 5+ seconds? Nintendo really must have compressed this game to fit on whatever size cart it came on. I will buy this at some point but these are some BIG sticking points to many and will no doubt leave a sour taste in many a players mouth
Good to hear the 3DS has another year tacked on but let's be real, this one won't be in 3D like Superstar Saga. Shame but I guess this gives me time to finally finish the original on the DS then play the remaster next year
Didn't Nintendo say not to long ago that he wasn't a plumber anymore? Then Odysey came out and Bowser called Mario "plumber boy". Such confused Much mystery
