@Sk1doosh this particular anime is explicitly advertising Sword and Shield. Its advertising is basically saying:
"Like these Pokemon? Use them in your own team in Sword and Shield. Out now!"
As Dewgong is used to advertise Sword and Shield, a game its not in, it is grounds for false advertising. Dewgong may get patched in later, but the first season pass content is 2 months away and not 'out now'.
@XenoShaun As an event it is unlikely it will be obtainable in game through general means, but Deoxys and Celebi are no longer an event Pokemon so anything can happen.
@Dr_Corndog Wii mode issue is because gamecube support was hard wired, but removed from future Wii models as the target market were casuals with no need of cube support.
Wii software built into Wii U lacks all backwards compatibility same as those later Wii models.
@Darkhound1999 The plot is very stand alone in SMT IV. Honestly, IV's early game twist works better when you have no prior knowledge of the franchise.
The series kinda works like final fantasy in each game being stand alone, though I'm no expert on the franchise. IV certainly is stand alone at least.
There are multiple spin offs with their own stories, the most famous being Persona. But for Nintendo consoles, IV is a fantastic experience.
My only warning is that the game uses real religious symbology and themes/characters so can be uncomfortable at times for practicing Christians. It uses Mary, Angels and God the same way it uses Hindu gods/monsters and mythical creatures.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE Thats the same terms that Sony have with the PS4. Your purchase is tied to your account, your account can log into multiple devices, but it can only be used by one console at a time.
@Moms-Meowth Nintendo destroyed Rockstar North back in the N64 days over ridiculous demands over Body Harvest, which led to the company going bankrupt.
They then went on to create GTA3 on PS2 and have avoided Nintendo as much as possible since then. Nintendo aren't well loved in Scottish programming circles.
Nintendo need third parties, not the other way round.
@NintendoEan At the moment we can only play them with Wiimotes via the Wii U's Wii mode.
A true Metroid Trilogy HD would hopefully add back all the graphical elements they had to remove from the Wii release to allow motion controls to work.
Basically I just want to replay the trilogy with an actual controller and not the Wiimote, with the same atmosphere that the gamecube games had.
I can easily see the NX getting: -Smash Bros for NX (a port of the Wii U version with ice climbers added back into the roster since they were removed due to 3DS issues) -Splatoon because of how popular it was on Wii U -Breath of the Wild we know for a fact -Bayonetta 1+2 I can see getting in on the NX -Mario Kart 8, because it is the greatest Mario Kart game ever made.
@Grumblevolcano Honestly that was Nintendo's big mistake on the Wii U. They could have easily filled in a few release gaps (especially this year!) with more Gamecube HD ports. We could have had:
-Mario Kart Double Dash HD -Eternal Darkness HD (Should be easy since Silicon Knights no longer exist) -Mario Galaxy 1+2 HD -Pikmin Trilogy HD (3 comes with all DLC on disc) -Metroid Prime Trilogy HD -F-Zero GX HD -Smash Bros Melee HD (have it come bundled with DLC codes to unlock Roy and Mewtwo in Smash Bros Wii U)
The hilarious thing is, these teens wouldn't believe you when the character design and her sexuality was created by a woman for a female audience as a female empowerment fantasy.
@Gamecubed They must have liked what they saw in Hyrule Warriors, but are still washing out the aftertaste left from the 2 CDi games where you play as Zelda.
@AlexSora89 Sadly, the 3DS is simply far too weak to emulate the GBA. Only the new3DS is fully capable of emulating the SNES with no major issues, so GBA is still asking a bit much.
Nintendo hated the results of the ambassador games, which simply ran via DSi mode, instead of being actual GBA games.
All I wanted from Nintendo this gen was an HD remake of F-Zero GX, or even better a new game! Imagine going to a lobby and racing against 29 other people with 60fps gameplay. Maybe a track editor and custom parts to make your own vehicle and maybe even a character creator too!
Online rankings, regular tournaments, a hard as nails story mode, etc.
It would have been amazing.
Yet looking at how they screwed up Animal Crossing by releasing an insanely boring board game and how badly they messed up Star Fox Zero, I hate to think how they would ruin F-Zero with their current gimmicks over gameplay nonsense.

Re: Beleaguered UK Retailer GAME Blames Lack Of Switch Stock For Profit Warning

In fact you would get more out of this release than those of us who got the DLC.

Re: Forthcoming Pokémon GO Update Will Introduce Capture Rate Bonuses
Just add gen 2 Pokemon.
Or simply add in the evolutions for Gen 1 Pokemon added in later games.
So we would get every Eeveelution, every baby Pokemon as well as every Gen 2 and 4 evolution added (Scizor/Magmortar, etc).

Re: Shigeru Miyamoto Provides Assurances on Pikmin 4 Development
@ThanosReXXX A game being in development means very little these days.
FFVersus13 was in development for 11 years before releasing as FF15 at the end of this year.
Last Guardian was announced in 2009 and won't be released until Christmas 2016.
Star Fox Zero was delayed multiple times.
Zelda U was delayed to launch beside the NX.
SMTxFE was announced years before we saw any TMS #FE footage.
Re: Shigeru Miyamoto Provides Assurances on Pikmin 4 Development
Doubt it will be day 1. Most likely a game released 6 months to a year into the NX's lifespan.
Re: A New Fighter is Due to be Announced for Pokkén Tournament on July 14th
Scizor, Darkrai or Greninja
according to data mining the most recent Wii U patch.
The other 2 may be a support team.
Re: Digital Foundry Assesses the Technology and Framerate in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
@Luffymcduck No. Nintendo made it extremely clear at e3 that the NX was a port that runs the exact same as the Wii U game.
There is nothing about the NX version that takes advantage of the hardware it is on.

Re: Pokémon GO Plus Pre-Orders Open on Official Nintendo UK Store, Priced at £34.99

Should be around £20 at most. Even then it should come with some kind of in game content. Either free currency or a Legendary Pokemon of some kind.

Re: Eiji Aonuma Rules Out The Option to Play as a Female Link in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
@Peach64 Link is the reincarnation of the first hero.
Who was a male named link.
Just as Zelda is the reincarnation of a goddess, a woman.
Ganon is the reincarnation of a male demon.
Gender swapping is pointless.
Playing as Zelda is a much better idea than female Link.
Re: Eiji Aonuma Rules Out The Option to Play as a Female Link in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
Great news.
Playable Zelda is far more interesting than a gender swapped link.

Re: Nintendo Download: 2nd June (North America)
@C-Olimar Yeah, F-Zero is a tried and true racer. It doesn't need fancy gimmicks, it just needs:
-Great selection of tracks
-Online racing/regular tournaments
-Silly story mode like GX
-Custom racers/Vehicle parts
-60fps HD visuals
It's a shame Nintendo feel they need to reinvent the wheel when the only thing fans want is a prettier GX with more content and online gameplay.
