It was a very good game. I played it from the start using gamepass but I think I dropped it before season 2 even came out. Then again, I do that with most multiplayer games, live service or not.
Glad I didn't pay for it, I did consider paying for the switch version at one point.
Nintendo gave us the switch and it's been great. But let's be honest - we're gonna see other devices that do what the switch does, arguably much better. I own a steam deck, and now only use the switch for games I can't get on there.
While I think it makes business sense to just make the switch 2, I'd personally like to see something new that only Nintendo would do. It's starting to feel like forever since we've genuinely had a new way to play (sure, handheld gaming of this caliber was and is very welcome and should be here to stay), but maybe it's time for something radical. Let the other companies push the boundaries of what could be possible with handheld gaming, and let Nintendo innovate. So long as the games it comes out with are good, but that's rarely been a problem.
I have one, ahh the memories. It was the only way I could get online to play Mario Kart DS online as we didn't have a wireless router when that came out. It was very awkward to use, but I loved it. Jump forward to the release of the wii, and I was still having to make use of it then to play those games online, and to even download wiiware/ wii vc games.
By that point I was pretty fed up with the problems it had, and never looked back once we finally got wireless broadband.
I am so glad this rated highly. I've been disappointed (bored?) with all the switch entries so far, and I'm hoping this saves me from giving up on the series
Gold/Silver were the absolute pinnacle. HG/SS recaptured that years later, and I don't believe I'll ever enjoy a Pokemon game as much any time in the future
Never touched a moba, so not sure I'm in this game's target audience other than it being pokemon. I'm sure this was inevitable though. This and the ability to pay money for pokemon that have large advantages over the rest. And I've seen the prices charged for pokemon micro transactions - it's insane.
I'll likely give it a go to confirm my doubts about the game itself, but almost certainly won't be giving them any money for a skin or an unlockable.
Some decent deals to be had. I personally went to the russian eshop to get a few of these (Luigis mansion and 51 worldwide games) for even further savings. Happy new year all!
If only there was a way to upgrade my digital wii u version to switch. Or the other load of first party wii u games I have that have been ported.
I appreciate work has gone into this release, but they already had my support on the last console. It's a good game, but they would probably have got more support from wii u owners if there was some kind of upgrade route. Not saying it should be free, but I feel £40 is a bit much for what this offers.
That said, maybe they are banking more on wii u owners double dipping at full price.
I played this on pc earlier this year and I was hooked. Great little game. Personally, I'd give it an 8 - though I can't comment on the quality of the switch release.
Wow, it makes me feel old. I was seven when I was desperately asking for this, trying to explain the difference between this and the other two versions me and my brother already had!
FYI - it seems to work with digital content, such as the expansion pass. Or it might be a cheap way to get Crystal on 3ds with a free mug 😊 (around a tenner including delivery)
Definitely the one mobile game I've ever played, and the only one I've ever come somewhat close to giving some money, even though I'm quite against f2p games in general. The amount of content they include is staggering and I often run out of time when events are on before completing everything. Anyone interested, the one year anniversary event is taking place now and they are being really generous with free stuff right now.
After playing Fire Emblem Warriors a ton recently, I've decided to actually go back and play Fire Emblem Fates properly. I can't believe that game has been sat in my backlog for over two years now
I think I'm more likely to buy the chibi version so long as it is properly optimised and running at a smooth 60fps I've ready played through the full fat game... Would much rather have a different experience on switch. Though, I gather a lot of others haven't played it at all...
Please don't let that music get into the final game.
It's obvious they don't know what to do anymore with Sonic. I I know that's meant to be Classic gameplay (it looks as good as Classic Sonic in Generations anyway) but I can't help but feel this just the same game again, with slight different level designs.
Why can't we have a Sonic Adventure 3. How did they make two awesome 3D games, and since, everything has been somewhat mediocre, at best. Though, I guess making a game and calling it Sonic Adventure 3 doesn't mean it will be good...
I feel that this is already the worst E3 in a long time for Nintendo. I can't know for sure, but it seems like they've announced everything in advance - effectively, all this has done is move the disappointment from what would have been a lacklustre E3 forward a few weeks.
Whatever they have planned for the NX, I sure hope they have some big event planned for it. Knowing Nintendo though, it'll probably be a 20/25 minute Nintendo direct a month or so before it launches - something that most of the gaming community ignores. That, to me, is not going to build hype.

Re: Platinum Celebrates Metal Gear Rising's 10th Anniversary Later This Month
The game is really awesome, I'd love a sequel.
And perhaps I should actually try out one of the mainline mgs games one of these days...

Re: Poll: What's The Best Star Fox Game?
Lylat wars for me. I keep hoping for a modern reboot of a game in that style, without too many of the gimmicks that hampered the other games.
That said, I've played almost all of them, and had a good me with each.

Re: Banjo-Kazooie Is Getting Jiggy With Nintendo Switch Online In January
Do love Banjo... haven't played in a while. Since the release on 360 years ago. Perhaps it's almost time to give it another run

Re: Mass Effect Legendary Edition Isn't Coming To Switch After All
Would have been a day one purchase on switch. I have them all on pc already, so will likely just wait till a sale on there.

Re: 505 Shuts Down Indivisible Production After Lab Zero Closure
I really liked the game... It's always sad to see this kind of thing, especially when they were actually producing decent content.

Re: Story Of Seasons: Friends Of Mineral Town File Size Revealed, 10 New Screenshots
I wanted this but seems quite expensive.... Especially after getting rune factory 4 special for roughly half.
Still, may pick up one day for the nostalgia
Re: Gallery: Paper Mario: The Origami King - 20 Gorgeous Screenshots And Box Art Revealed
Day 1 buy if anything like the first two in the series.
Unfortunately, with the way the recent games have been, I may have to wait and see.
Re: Story Of Seasons: Friends Of Mineral Town Launches This July In The West
This game was awesome back in the day. But I feel like I'm being swamped with these kinds of games (choice is not necessarily a bad thing!)
I'm still deep into Rune Factory 4 Special, and then animal crossing this week... I may have to wait a while before picking this up too!
Re: UK Fans Can Celebrate Pokémon Day With A Nice Cup Of Tea
FYI - it seems to work with digital content, such as the expansion pass. Or it might be a cheap way to get Crystal on 3ds with a free mug 😊 (around a tenner including delivery)

Re: Super Mario Maker 2 File Size And Other Details Revealed
Pre-ordered digitally for a few pounds less than if I was to use a voucher from cd keys. Can't wait.
Re: Dragalia Lost X Fire Emblem Crossover Event Begins Tomorrow
Never been drawn into a mobile game before... Except dragalia lost!
Excited for the event even if the cast could have been better
Re: Review: Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition - An Aptly-Named Refresh Of A True JRPG Classic
I love this game the first time round, and I can't wait to play this version either!
This game was the only reason I held on to my Xbox 360!
Re: Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition Confirmed For Nintendo Switch
My favourite RPG ever made, I kept my xbox 360 for this one game.
Day 1 purchase from me!

I'll just wait for stardew Valley on switch.
Re: Final Fantasy XV Director Insists His Team Is "Looking Into" Switch
I think I'm more likely to buy the chibi version so long as it is properly optimised and running at a smooth 60fps
I've ready played through the full fat game... Would much rather have a different experience on switch. Though, I gather a lot of others haven't played it at all...
