A 3DS could do a better looking 3D game geez.

Offer Refunds to everyone.

Any free content promised pre launch should be considered part of the purchase. Cancelation is not acceptable.

@Xiovanni

Not give any exclusives to them.

Give them lesser stock of limited release items. Send more elsewhere.

Etc.

*Fifa 19 5 you mean.

It's so dishonest calling a free to play download a sale.

Now you punch her gut and your hand just breaks.

I feel like gamefreak has always been a coding disaster.

Frankly Gamefreak should be strictly the creative team and someone else should be programming the game itself.

And yes we can go more then 3 years without a new gen if there needs more polishing.

Aside from GTAV the entire top 10 is switch exclusives or multiplats with a switch version (and mostly ones that Switch has a plurality or majority of sales)

Level-5 died with the 3DS essentially. They milked their good series to death and completely lost any and all goodwill in the west(which was already strained with their inconsistent localization and poor communication and extremely long waits for localizations in an era where most devs that weren't indie moved to simultaneous release or a least cut waits down to only a few months)

Now Layton is dead, Yokai watch is a shambling Japan only husk and they can't even get an Inazuma eleven game out the door...for a series that was near yearly before.

I stopped even attempting to care about anything they do several years ago and would be surprised if they survive the decade without going under.

@Vil

Least given that there are only two more months left after October...that means MP1 in November, MP2 in December and MP3 In January most likely.

Seems like a respectable effort all around. It's a only like...2 sentences tops for every major character so hard to really judge the voices but they all seem to range from inoffensive to pretty good.

I'm interested.

Shovel Knight 64?

The best? Absolutely not even close.

Fun? Yes despite its jank, low amount of content, godawful voice acting and often poorly aged BS its fun.

Etrian Odyssey VI

Sega owns Atlus just announce it properly already.

Single game directs for already announced games have little bearing on general directs.

We have gotten many single game directs and pokemon presents close to directs.

There are actually several I am interested in but us pretty groanworthy how s good fourth of this is farm aim games.

I am convinced the sole purpose of these is to blue ball us on Silksong periodically.

@Zyph

This isn't the type of book where spoilers are no beuno. It's an autobiography/buisness book. Also Reggie has been promoting the book pretty sure most these articles are based on interviews and excerpts provided by him/his publisher.

You are being rather silly.

@Xiovanni

More people are born and grow up every year you know. And some markets are newer or otherwise have lower gaming/Nintendo mindshare.

That has to be the the most aggressively pointless name change that ever has happened.

@rawzeku

It's possible the game is essentially complete and they were going to sit in it a few months to give their June releases and a presumable July/August splatoon 3 some space. Perhaps Splatoon 2 suffered a minor internal delay so they pushed this forward and Splatoon 3 will be August/September.

It's not like Nintendo to rush games unless they are desperate(Mario tennis Ultra Smash on Wii U oof). Considering they delayed at least 2 games in the last couple months and it's a very small change it's nothing to be concerned about.

Just let us straight up select our team and their Ivs/Evs/Nature for online. Just give us a built in team builder(but let us use our own if we want)

I like raising critter's but I just don't have the time to grind out all the items and then get those IVs, nature's and EVs right. I can't spend several hundred hours breeding like I did a decade ago I got so much more responsibility in my life. The raising should be only required for official tournaments and single player content.

Also don't do anything like dynamax again. Megas were fine because it was limited and prevented other held items on that mon so it was fairly predictable and the power boost wasn't completely insane usually as no Choice Band or leftovers.

Agree with challenge mode and eeveelution big time.

I want a more robust selection of outfits. The variety is godawful it's like 6 things and a million color/pattern variants per thing.

Alola being focused on warm weather clothes was fine but it did have caverns and a mountain and even Hawaii gets chilly sometimes in the dead of winter. Coats/jackets not existing was wierd and fashion often does NOT care about practicality. Some people totally would sweat their tushies off for the sake of showing their wealth or simply to be stylish as heck.

Battle frontier and pokemon being as expressive as Stadium and pokemon Snap would be great.

Finally make the "Pokemon used tackle message) show DURING the animation and disappear immediately after the animation. Only show messages for the first and last turn off a multi turn effect like Hail damage instead of EVERY turn taking several seconds to do so.

Also make the linking cable item be in every game.

No boxing?

This makes me want to punch something...OH WAIT I CAN'T.

@Itachi2099 It really does have issues. I put 100 hours into it and there are absolutely noticeable frame drops.

Also disappointed this wasn't a global reveal/release

You did it with SMTV That is the standard you will be held to forever now.

I will be playing an SMT game on Xbox. How bizzare

I think I threw up in my mouth a little.

Not just at the thought of eating this trash but also at the sheer cringe of the PR.

I legit have purchased several games because I listened to their OST on YouTube.

If they won't let us purchase or stream their OSTs nor let us purchase many of the games in question on currently available/modern platforms this is such a **** move.

I really really don't like this.

But please kick Kotick Immediately if you do.

@nkarafo

Because China makes it a pain to release there with long approval processes that sometimes get suspended indefinitely and often require a lot of alteration/censorship to be releaseable.

Also because gaming tastes are different in China and the import and knockoff markets are strong there.

Fire Emblem Warriors 2 and a new Fatal Frame would be nice

@Browny 20-30 based on the big Capcom Leak.

Is it me or is the voice acting noticeably better now compared to the demo from awhile back?

@VoidofLight

Eh it could be a split evo of tediursa rather then an Ursauring evo.

Also we don't exactly know there I'd a hard and fast full evolved rule. Ursauring could be am early Alpha and ghey might've thought ita Evo was too powerful for that point.

I'll check back in six months to see if the game runs mostly smooth 30fps, has rain that doesn't look like it's from a SNES or N64 game, decreases POP-in drastically , changes the most deformed models to look human, adds in clouds, fixes some egregiously unfinished models like the motorcycles, and much much more.

And only buying used to spite Rockstar IF the vast majority of issues are fixed.

Remember when Level-5 wasn’t a pathetic shell of itself?

They really fell fast from their DS/3DS glory days.

They killed any chance of being succesful in the west beyond the first few Layton’s with their inability to localize anything faster then 2-3 years and their insistence that eveyrhting needed to be multimedia with an anime and a buncha garbage.

@BigE

All Blizzard games should be reviewed 0/10 until Bobby Kotick is canned WITHOUT his golden parachute. Or simply not reviewed.

On the one hand I like seeing third party games do well.

On the other hand Activision Blizaard is a terrible CCP enabling, sexist, exploitative piece of(Insert Stream of vulgar expletives here ) and Bobby Kotick can go eat a bag of(More expletives)

None of their games are worth supoorting in this day and age of so much choice in gaming.

Yeah they should’ve delayed the game...honestly restart development entirely or scrapped it.

Shame it looked really interesting.

@Vortexeo

Possible? Yes but very unlikely. If there is no mainline Pokémon game in 2021, Gen 4 is 2023 or later and especially if gets a selects re-release in a couple years maybe(Pokémon hasn’t gotten that or an equivalent since the GBA days I think) I could see it.

10 hours is absolutely not a short feeling game for this genre and style.

It’s longer then expected honestly.

Also this isn’t their first foray into publishing. They published Azure Striker Gunvolt: Striker Pack(In North America at least) as well.

@ImagineerNik

Stadia is going to be irrelevant from the word go.

Its Wii U levels of poorly marketed and “Who asked for this?” But without strong exclusive IPs to prop it up.

@ChromaticDracula

I have been stuck at 98% forever in that :/

@carlos82

This.

VR is quite far off from dominating the industry. It has too many limitations to supplant, Handhelds/Hybrids, Traditional Consoles, PC and Mobile Phones.

Its still fairly niche. Undoubtably it will become huge eventually.

It’s giving me an error when I try to edit my submission.

Just want to make a slight fix to the title and description.

A Dream of Treasurenaughts by Jools R.R Watsham.

Estimated release date: Never.

@H_Hunter

Not even close because Kickstarter is not in the picture and this game simply stumbles rather than being a borderline broken mess. Nor was this game being made by a famous industry veteran .

Plus this game has a pleasing astheic. Mighty no 9 graphically ranges from dull to offensively ugly.

Tbh mighty no 9 was scored too high by reviewers including Nintendolife.. 5/10 was a laughably high score.

“Unfortunately, it doesn't feel like the stages were designed with the dash in mind. Often, levels filled with instant death-traps are so cheap that after a few tries you'll want to go as slowly and methodically as possible so as not to dash and die. There's a difference between challenging and frustrating, and Mighty No. 9 constantly finds itself in the latter category.”

“One particularly infuriating stage has a section that is seemingly a dead-end. Clearly someone behind the scenes noticed, because a hint message appears on the screen telling you exactly what to do. This wouldn't be so bad if hint messages popped up throughout the game, but this was the only instance of a hint message outside the tutorial stage. If something is so obtuse that you need to give the player a text prompt for them to continue, then level design tweaks are surely required.”

“The consensus here is simple: don't bother with the multiplayer. The netcode feels completely broken, and both modes would have been much better suited to local play.”

“Amazingly, we're not quite done with the negatives yet. The game performs poorly overall on the Wii U, struggling to maintain a stable pace. If there's too much happening on screen the game will behave like it's on a PC that can't handle the software. Quite frankly, the visuals are mystifying in their rough, poorly shaded and lifeless state””

“The music is generic, meanwhile, and the option to switch to retro, chiptune-style fails to excite as the compositions are so simplistic“

Considering all the negatives they didn’t even touch on...and the fact that the review contains “Amazingly, we're not quite done with the negatives yet.” IDK how a 5/10 is a thing. The game is not Medicore. It’s straight up bad.

https://www.nintendolife.com/reviews/wiiu/mighty_no_9

My take.

-It’s own mechanics worked against itself. They did NOT handle or balance the dash, xel or weapon systems well at all.
-The stage design was often tedious, or straight up unfair with insta death, lack of sign posting, forced damage, pixel perfect platforming, misleading visual design elements, poor rewards for exploring or even punishment/negation of rewards for exploring and occasional issues with the foreground obfuscating gameplay.
-Dull-Ugly graphics
-Control, pacing and U.I issues.
-Depends somewhat on platform but frame rate issues, bugs, bad load times, crashes etc, were distressingly common
Etc.

The game ranged from barely functional to broken most the time.

Picross e9 when?
