I’m not in favour as I love collecting but when I see them pushing key-cards, I will assume as a consumer that they are committing to creating a long-term server library that’s available in perpetuity vs. generation to generation. That’s what we need to ask Nintendo for clarification on. If they commit to that, then I care a little less. For years they’ve been saying the industry is moving digital, so let’s not be too surprised that it’s happening. I also don’t assume Nintendo will ever go under within my lifetime. But we do need this all made publicly clear imo

@Exerion76 hear me out. Have you tried the Japanese voice option? It’s so much better imo. It’s how I play every game now, even DK Bananza. English vo’s in games and anime sound so hammy to me

I didn’t read the review thoroughly, did they say you could use any USB camera in place of the official one? Would a 4k cam work?

@The_Blue_Mage it’s an endless debate right. There are arguments that hold up each way. imo irrespective of Nintendo or Pokémon Company’s motives, I’d prefer to see original content being made and not “Pokémon with guns” or “Animal Crossing with Hello Kitty”. At the end of the day, we’re all gamers here. We should vote with our wallets and buy strong, original IP vs. Copy-cat productions. I’m sure on that everyone can agree.

If they hadn’t made the character designs so damn identical to actual Pokémon designs they would have never had these issues in the first place. Some of it is getting petty yes, but you catch someone’s attention, you get put under the microscope. They did this to themselves

@link3710 no no, I get what you’re saying. I guess I meant that Rare helped develop the “DKC” era look, but this feels like Nintendo took ownership of DK back to their original vision back when he was throwing barrels at Mario and have clearly iterated and innovated on that design, and I love that so much. I remember his look from old game manuals and magazines and this makes me feel very nostalgic. The new design has far more potential for character and moves away from that 3D infancy era. I think DK looks great!

@Truegamer79 this guy gets it! It’s Nintendo returning to their original intentions with the character. I think it’s more sophisticated and expressive personally

@CazSonOfCaz that’s true! But this kanji is for “hana” meaning flower. I think the Sakura in the image is perhaps an album name or something from the “find” mode?

I might be alone, but I’d really love to see Blast Corps. It was so addictive and good for quick play sessions. I’d take almost anything on this list though, Rare used to be the kings!

@tjhiphop exactly right! It’s the wrong take to think Shigeru is being creatively stifling. He’s only doing what a creative manager or art director should be doing. Everything you see and love in a finished game will have gone through this process so it feels cohesive. To put it another way, imagine if the art style on the elephant looked a little out-of-place and not quite right, that would be off-putting every time you got the power up. But now it fits. Without this little anecdote about the elephants development, you’d be none the wiser. Also when WW is brought up, maybe original designs were kinda bad and Miyamoto steered it to what we know and love now. A lot of these quotes often lack context but we take them as gospel

Such horsesh!t 😏

I would pay full price for this in a heartbeat. So much juicy nostalgia. Plus, that re-orchestrated music is just peachy.

Anyone play Body Harvest on the 64? Yeah, that

I do love those vintage Poke Balls though. Details like that make me happy.

So this is the long awaited Open-World Pokemon game experiment. Looks a little clunky and lacking drama to me atm, but that's the trade-off I guess. I hope they can make the seamless battles feel more focused by the final build. Something like the Age Of Calamity/Zelda target lock kinda thing. I dunno lol, just make it good

I’m super curious to see how my combat play style has changed since playing Age of Calamity. They look identical so I think it’s going to be super confusing for my brain. I hope it won’t ruin it by making me feel like Link is suddenly really underpowered. I’ll probably miss his follow-up attacks (hold-x)

Anyone remember Brutal Legend? Now that was a metal action game. Loved it!

Wouldn’t the UK lockdown affect physics sales though? Would be interested to see total sales

@Pikman as did I. Riddled with charm I thought

I am all over this! More because of the BOTW lore than anything else

So essentially, the “people power” era where user opinion mattered most might be coming to an end purely because we can’t be trusted (well, except for starting twitter trends, that seems to work still). Typical of the human race to somehow mess up a good thing

Shouldn’t the article subheading have been, “Let’s-a-pass-go”? Wasted comedic opportunity there

Sooo.. I actually DM’d Nintendo on Twitter about this game. Said this is ‘a parent seeing their kid play it’ away from a lawsuit. I told them it’s time to bring back the seal of approval, for their own good.

... I feel like a loser

Anyone taking offence to this article or Brie Larson needs to get a life. You could just as easily not click on the article or comment. Babies

My gut reaction to that was, “NOOOOO, don’t you know there’s Great Whites in there?!? Get outta the wateeeeerrrrrr!!!!” 😂
