If this is your biggest problem in life, you have no problems.
nothing is being lost, all of the data still exists to think that all media must be available in the most easy to access forms is both unfair and unrealistic. If youre hoping Nintendo will condone piracy, stop waiting because people are going to do it anyway because they never cared it was illegal in the first place.
“ There's a completely useless open-world aspect crowbarred in. You can run around massive empty environments for absolutely no reason during diplomatic strolls.

For a second I thought you were talking about Pokémon Legends Arceus. 🙃
Reading the VGC rulebook is not me speaking for them, I'm just reading offical information.
Section 4.3 of the rules states that manipulated pokemon are illegal in competative play. Our opinions on whether it should or should not be allowed don't matter.
I disagree, Pokémon have never felt less threatening or more vulnerable due to be ing able to sneak up on them, and nobles being the easiest fights in the franchise.
So in order to preserve their assets, they’ve chosen to use a medium that isn’t immune to link rot, and they aren’t actually selling the assets in the first place.
Let's not overlook the positives in these scenarios, Psychonauts 2 would never have succeded without intervention, Nintendo is making increasingly better games, and the big companies know they can't monopolize the industry it simply isn't possible.
New independent developers are always popping up making things that captivate the hearts nad minds in their own special way (Undetale, pressure washing simulator etc.)
Big companies becoming better, means that they realize that they have to compete against other improiving companies.
This is a really good way to raise money, so need the best I’ve seen, but why wouldn’t you port the game to a console people can actually use it on to reach a wider audience?

Re: February 27th Is Pokémon Day, And We're Getting Announcements Every Day This Week
The fact that SwSh are still getting major updates prove they deserve to be the 2nd best selling games.
Re: Japanese Charts: Pokémon Legends: Arceus And Switch Remain Dominant
Making ground?
Week 3 sales were less than BDSP’s week 3.
Without a Christmas boost it’ll be interesting to see where PLA lands when Nintendo updates their website again.

@Ultimapunch
It would certainly be a smart move for them.

Re: PSA: Don't Let This Pokémon Legends: Arceus Softlock Catch You Out
@darkswabber
The glitches in PLA affect gameplay, that’s the difference, also it runs like crap.
Re: PSA: Don't Let This Pokémon Legends: Arceus Softlock Catch You Out
The only major bug in BDSP was the snowpoint softlock, wich was hard to do by accident. everything else required extreme dedication to pull off.
Re: tERRORbane Will Bring Its Wacky Battle Against The Developer To Switch Soon
Kind of interested, as long as it runs poorly well.
Re: PSA: Don't Let This Pokémon Legends: Arceus Softlock Catch You Out
This game has worse bugs than BDSP
Re: Fire Emblem Fates: Revelation And DLCs Will Also Disappear From The 3DS eShop
Behold ladies and gentlemen, the future of cloud gaming
Re: The Pokémon Company Is Making Pokémon Bank Free To Use
That’s very generous of them, we should be seeing home updates this month so we’ll be able to go from gen 4 to BDSP
Re: Soapbox: NSO Isn't Game Pass, But Nintendo Is Learning The Benefits Of Subscription Models
The N64 games would have made the base NSO a good deal, but we're going to need Wii U levels of VC before more than doubling the price is viable.
Re: 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim Switch Pre-Orders Open Today As New Trailer Drops
The graphics look good, but the writing and characters look awful.

Re: Feature: Which New Hisuian Pokémon Are Viable For Competitive Play?
I think Electrode might be able to fill a very specific niche within the extremely ghost meta as the game’s fastest user of foul play.
I see a lot of Mimikyu and Dragapult in my games and I think this will be a good counter.
I’ll think I’d knock Typhlosion down a peg, but the list is really well written
Re: Soapbox: Pokémon Legends: Arceus Is A Reminder That It's Never Too Late To Change
The game has a lot of nice QoL, but screwing over a majority of the player base with no multiplayer is a big step back
Re: Nintendo Hacker Gary Bowser Sentenced To Three Years In Jail
@Moistnado
So?
Re: Nintendo Hacker Gary Bowser Sentenced To Three Years In Jail
@Moistnado
Woah, don’t accuse me of saying things.
All I said was not all corporations are pure evil.
Re: Hands On: Triangle Strategy Delivers Deep Turn-Based Combat To Match Its Incredible Art
I remember they said the game would be about 59 hours, I’m curious how close people’s playthroughs will be to that number.
Re: Canadian Hacker Bowser Sentenced To Three Years In Jail For Crimes Against Nintendo
@CharlieGirl
The fact you posted that on the internet on either a computer or mobile device means you are a beneficiary of corporate practice.
Quite possibly the worst take.
Re: No Man's Sky Has Been Secretly In The Works For Two Years, And There's More Info To Come
I remember when this game launched, it was a complete garbage fire, it’s so much better nowadays. A cloud port would undo all that good will
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Sticks With Mario Kart 8 Through 2023, But What About Switch?
I sold my copy of MK8 a year ago because I had given up on DLC…
Re: Valve Is Bringing Portal: Companion Collection To Switch Later This Year
It’s no exaggeration to say I’ve waited 5 years for this, this was one of the greatest directs ever.
Re: Random: There's A Trick That Lets You Clone Shinies In Pokémon Legends: Arceus
Oh that is wierd, GF did leave that glitch in intentionally, so maybe that was also intentional?
Re: Random: There's A Trick That Lets You Clone Shinies In Pokémon Legends: Arceus
It's whatever if SwSh compatability doesn't happen,
But at least you know I'm not making this stuff up, GF has been very good about patching dupes.
Re: Random: There's A Trick That Lets You Clone Shinies In Pokémon Legends: Arceus

Re: Random: There's A Trick That Lets You Clone Shinies In Pokémon Legends: Arceus
@Bret
I never claimed to do those things. GF doesn't allow it, our opinions don't matter.
Re: Random: There's A Trick That Lets You Clone Shinies In Pokémon Legends: Arceus
@Eel and everyone else
It's disallowed by Gamefreak because SwSh compatability is being added soon, don't cheat and have a lovely day.
Re: Random: There's A Trick That Lets You Clone Shinies In Pokémon Legends: Arceus
@Eel
It may not be hacking, but it is still strictly disallowed.
Re: Random: There's A Trick That Lets You Clone Shinies In Pokémon Legends: Arceus
Do not ruin another game with your filty cheats please.
Re: Feature: Our Predictions For The February 2022 Nintendo Direct
Unpopular opinion, but I hated 3 houses. If we do get a new FE game I hope it goes in the opposite direction
A release date for Fall Guys and Card Shark is all I could really ask for.

Re: Nintendo Announces Huge Switch Sale, More Than 1,000 Games To Be Discounted
If Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 goes on sale, I’ll bite.
Re: Feature: Pokémon Legends: Arceus Has Made Pokémon Downright Disturbing Again
@VoidofLight
Maybe it was a bit too much of a blanket statement, but the first 3 are almost impossible to lose to.
It’s just not as hard as it normally is.
Re: Feature: Pokémon Legends: Arceus Has Made Pokémon Downright Disturbing Again
I disagree, Pokémon have never felt less threatening or more vulnerable due to be ing able to sneak up on them, and nobles being the easiest fights in the franchise.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (February 5th)
Hopefully some Dungeon encounters, and Gunvolt Chronicles 2
Re: Sword & Shield Becomes Second Best-Selling Pokémon Game Of All Time
Definitive proof, SwSh are great games.
Re: Unplug From The Internet In Land Of Screens, Available Now On Switch
Fun fact, I’m originally from the Land of Screens!
Re: Yoko Taro And Company Are Back With Voice Of Cards: The Forsaken Maiden
Voice of cards was in my personal top 10 for 2021, so I’d be happy to play another.
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo's Mastery Of Physical Game Sales Hides Limited Digital Growth
Platstation literally offers a digital only console, of course those people will be downloading more games.
Re: Konami Is Committed To NFTs In Order To Preserve Beloved Content As "Commemorative Art"
So in order to preserve their assets, they’ve chosen to use a medium that isn’t immune to link rot, and they aren’t actually selling the assets in the first place.
They’re either evil or stupid.
Re: Soapbox: Don't Cheer For Corporate Takeovers - It's Not A Game

Re: Buy This New Game Boy Advance Title And You'll Be Supporting A Worthy Cause
This is a really good way to raise money, so need the best I’ve seen, but why wouldn’t you port the game to a console people can actually use it on to reach a wider audience?

And of course

Re: Review: Gunvolt Chronicles: Luminous Avenger iX 2 - More Of The Same Short-But-Sweetness
The reworked controls do a lot to prevent this from feeling like just a level pack.
My biggest gripe is that it's beyond stupidly easy.
Re: Video: With The Magic Of LED Fans And 3D Printing, This Guy Made A Real(ish) Pokémon
That's a big improvement on realisitc pokemon models for sure.
Re: Digital Foundry Gives Its Assessment Of Cloud Gaming On Switch
If the game can’t be ported properly, then don’t make a lazy cloud version.
Re: Super Rare's First Published Game, Grapple Dog, Comes Out Soon
@SuperMushHill
I KNEW IT!
Re: Super Rare's First Published Game, Grapple Dog, Comes Out Soon
This is extremely specific, but this looks like a Nitrome game from the early 2000s.
Re: Nintendo Download: 27th January (North America)
It’s Gunvolt time!
Re: Talking Point: Do You Consider Pokémon Legends: Arceus To Be A Mainline Title?
All mainline means is that it’s canon. Being a main series game doesn’t stop it from being a spin-off.
So yes by the definition of spin off, it is a main series spin-off.
