@Zeeba Thanks I’ll look into it.

Well… the console launch itself went well, stock does not seem to be a problem.

Content… well let’s just say nobody in the family have touched the device for the last two weeks… kids were excited to get it day one, but after the novelty factor of Mario Kart nobody touch it… Kids went back to the PS5 or mobile game…

Really conflicted, while I really liked Dead Cells and this look nice, the art style is really not my cup of tea. While I don’t really care about graphics in general, art style is the one thing that make me miss technically good games like Axiom Verge…

Removed some feature and track for later DLCs?

@Anti-Matter Pretty sure what you describe is called Stardew Valley…

Fun fact, there’s also another small set, number 30662 Maple's Pumpkin Garden that is available as a gift with purchase over 65$ CAD (check other currency) of Animal Crossing set.

@Kekshook What if the switch successor is backward compatible and you can play them with higher FPS? That would make the current one obsolete no?

Hopefully the wait will pay off… I had two specific indie I was waiting for, this and sport story, let’s hope this one end up better…

Destructoid, a perfect 7 out of 10? Does it mean it’s better then an imperfect 8?

Hopefully it doesn’t pull of something like Sports Story where more doesn’t mean better…

One thing that I find your review missing is an indication of playtime, while subjective I always go to other site to get an idea… like it’s important to me to know if I’m paying 30$ for an hour of experience of if it’s very long to know wether I have time for that at the moment…

Not gonna lie, I’m a bit worried about it… This morning trailer felt a bit too influenced by Minecraft and Fortnite… Was hoping for a darker entry after the reveal traile but this morning trailer didn’t show much in that way.

Then again it was more of a mechanic trailer this morning then an actual trailer… simply hoping these mechanics aren’t over exploited if you don’t feel to play with them too much. Just like I managed to go trough breath of the wild without actually really cooking or switching armor…

In the too late for possible GOTY, Sport Story might fit the bill (although haven’t heard if it’s actually good).

Good to have news… unlike… Silksong…

Do we know every version exclusive at this point?

So legend Arceus catch mechanics are officially out?

Do we know how we catch Pokemon? Can it be done like in Legend Arceus?

At this point I just want to know wether or not Arceus catch mechanic are back, this will make or break my interest in the game.

@MrPKOmega Out of curiosity what we’re you hoping for?

It’s mind boggling to me that this came downstairs have split screen multiplayer… it seems like a perfect family game.

One thing that I wasn’t expecting was how easy it would be to play my PS5 in bed or on the go.

I even bought an extra dualsense to keep it paired with my iPad for on the go play session. Granted remote play is far from perfect but still pretty usable most of the time… yes we lose in visual fidelity but it’s still ahead of the switch on most days.

At the end of the day I still love my switch, it’s just for a different type of games, namely exclusive and less graphically intense games, for the rest it’s the PS5. The switch does a fine job with a lot of games but compromise are smaller on PS5 for multi platform. To me the switch work best when it does it’s own thing, there’s a reason why Nintendo don’t go for too realistic games, the cartoon looks on their games suits it perfectly and makes the game look like there’s no compromise.

With this split the only thing I don’t like on the switch is the load time, it never was a problem until the PS5 but spoiled me… same goes for non optimized ps4 game, loading are something you don’t miss…

It didn’t fee that bad but the year in review Nintendo sent me was pretty telling, barely played 77h this year (vs 195h) last year and my spouse is down from 495h to 135h.

Granted we got a PS5 in march but that didn’t affect much, I don’t feel like I’ve missed anything I wanted (still on the fence on skyward sword).

@SwitchplayerJohn @Bucky I guess this is part of the thing where it makes too much sense and people are asking for it so Nintendo won’t do it. Just like the virtual console, the ability to play previous Metroid on switch before dread, themes and folder on switch and app such as Netflix…

@ZebZed Don’t really agree with that argument. With Switch having close to 80 million player with a good portion of them knowing Pokémon they would have a good install base. Also following you’re argument they’re would be no sense on keeping the mainline game exclusive to Nintendo console yet this still happen.

Can you save local multiplayer games too? That’s the reason my family never really played the other since we almost never had time to finished and only single player games could be saved.

@Crono1973 I think it’s a bit of an unfair comment, most people don’t have a wii I and they’re now pretty expensive to come by for what they bring to the table, plus even on the Wii au you can’t play 100% portable which is a huge selling point for a lot of people.

I can honestly say that those Zelda HD remasters but more specifically wind waker are the only switch port that I really want from the Wii U. That and if Nintendo could let me get the virtual console (I honestly just want the Metroid gba).

@CactusMan You really think the OLED will make a PS1 color be that different? Not judging just didn’t think this would be a showcase game…

@HamatoYoshi So should we as they might be left holding with so few improvements…

My wife was a really committed player but a little before the first anniversary she moved on because lack of novelty and event repeating themselves… Unless the content is substantially more than anything added so far I don’t see her going back to it regularly… Too little too late I guess..

It would be nice if Nintendo gave us an official way to play these on switch... because most of these game by now are pretty hard to come by and same for their console...

Hopefully they remain independent... if Sony want to buy a Japanese studio I would much rather like for them to buy Capcom... Square Enix is far from being consistent...

@meeto_1 don’t sell short, they don’t simply upscale the thing, they also increase the price for doing you that favour...

Will this affect the length of the game significatively?

Wife is 350h in.... funny thing is she never saw herself as a gamer before and never put more than a dozen hour or so in any game.

In the last few months though she slowed pace considerably but still launch the game à on weekly basis. Unless they add a lot more content (she was a fan of fishing and critterpedia) I don’t see how they can pull her back in for good. Updates need to be more meaty than what was added so far which feel more like a novelty than content to her.

@TimboSlice Thanks

@TimboSlice Where? Only see the deal in the eShop.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see something announced next year for the 25th anniversary that will bring them back with a new expansion or simply make them available to be transferred in...

They have to have something for next year and I think the new generation is out of the question with how young this one still is including the expansion.

Also I quite enjoyed shield, it’s far from being a great game but as my first Pokémon game (been wanting to play this since I was a kid) it was an ok introduction and i can’t miss what I never had... also in my point of view the expansion and gradual add of Pokémon gave me initiative to complete the pokedexes by never making the task too daunting (always only needed a few more). That said I can see why people who are not new to the franchises would not see things the same way.

@TheXReturns Thanks for the precision, no the Melmetal was a little before the expansion release so more than a month ago.

Pretty sure they need to fix the raid first... the other day I caught a GMax Melmetal only to learn later that it was not released yet.... on my side this was a legit caught one though.... When you get online raids, there’s no way to confirm the legit stats or shiny of what you’ll get...

@abdias I hope they don't go that way for mew again... the whole point I thought was to sale a otherwise useless controller... But otherwise Mew Two was easy to transfer in batch and so was meltan and melmetal...

@Cevil An update has been given... It's delayed as of this morning with no new release window.

@abdias @RadioHedgeFund I think the same.... but at the same time I think Pokemon go will break pokemon legendary and mythical status.... in the games I'm not aware of any other legit way to get like 10 copies of a legendary in less than 1 week span with about 1 in 20 being shiny...

@Kasma88 Which one? 1 or 4? Does the order matter?

@Electric-Dreams Well I guess you can find comfort in the fact that we're not getting a compilation of 1, 2 and 3 for the same price that you bought 3....

@Rika_Yoshitake I get your point but at the same time there's not that many 2013 games still selling full price even if they're port...

@aznable Same here... I’ll guess we’ll know soon if paying to only play local works against us...

@Rpg-lover The thing is you can’t get it on iOS, it’s only part of the subscriptions service... that said you can try the service for free and even use it with game pad that now sync with iOS. Person ally I see no downside in trying it this way and since I think one month of the service is like 5$ you can likely beat it for much less than on switch.

« With proper physical control » Aren’t all Apple Arcade compatible with controller? I seems to recall that since the launch of IOS 13 controller such as the PS4 one and the Xbox one are also compatible with every Apple device and even Apple TV...

Hum what’s worst... Complaining about it, or reporting about it.... can we expect an article on every single complaint on reddit about a switch game? Even if only high profile one?

@Seananigans I too would be disappointed it it were yarn.... But it's rubber band! That's a whole lot better!

Was about to back and then I remembered how bloodstained ended up on switch... think I’ll wait for the final product and a sale...
