I always find this strange, but don't these companies test their own games?

Monopoly and Star Wars... two franchises that don't really need a crossover.

It's a placeholder price. End of story.

It's on Apple TV here for €17,99/€14,99 , but I think I will wait for the UHD BluRay so I can watch it in high quality 4K

Actually very cute story for Dragonite. And also answers some questions about mail in the Pokémon world.

Also this does connect to Ash and gang getting mail from a Dragonite in the first Pokémon movie.

@dratsab Honestly I get why people hate (Gen) AI. It's taking real people's jobs and it's increasing RAM and storage prices because of pure demand. But when used tastefully I personally think AI can help a lot, especially for creating concepts.

@Paulo Check the link.. it's clearly a 4/5 stars.

Surprising, same score as the IGN 'review'. Says basically everything I need to know.

However this isn't the only score.
Dutch IGN: 8.8.
NWTV (Dutch): 9.0
Gameliner (Dutch): 4.5/5
Vooks: 4/5
Eurogamer: 4/5

Average on Metacritic: 80 Only 3 out of 47 critic reviews are a 6/10.

People don't decide based on one review.

@Nick2054 Yes, in the menu it's the second option "Alarm on/off". Set it to off there

For an AI video it does look really good tbh. I'd love to see a full 3D version of this classic.

I honestly don’t I’m the target audience for this game. So, I am going to skip for now.

Seems rather unique gameplay. Especially something you want from an indie game. Looks really interesting. Might pick it up if it's actually good.

@Chimichanga Well yeah, I still have a vivid memory of that games journalist trying (and failing) to do the tutorial of Cuphead. And yes, I know that is an extreme case. But it does tell me something.

We honestly should categorise games like this as "interactive movies". Since there is no real fail state.

@johnedwin The game is also compared to games like the Telltale games, Life is Strange, etc. but those games DO actually have fail states. And choices actually have impact on how the story plays.

It doesn't have to be Super Meat Boy. Nobody is asking for that. But it does need to have some meaning for the player. Which this does not. It's an interactive movie, render the game entirely and put it on Netflix.

Another, "Well duh." for me.

A game in which you literally do nothing for long strecthes of time gets a 9/10. (seen enough "gameplay" video's on YT of it already)

Where a game like Pokémon Legends Z-A which is basically nothing but gameplay, gets a 6/10.

Make it make sense.

Honestly I always found this weird. Now they only need to merge it with the eShop and allow us to purchase physical games and merch through the eShop on our Switch 2s.

Well what was going to happen, happened. And I think these price increases aren't that bad either. RAM / Storage prices have been going through the roof.

@Galaxy2IsTheGOAT But what if it's the developers intention to have multiple options? Because that's literally the case with almost every Switch game. And has been with most Nintendo games since the Wii. Also more options allow for mor accessibility, and that is always a win.

Looks awesome for a N64 game remake. I will absolutely be picking this up. Day one. And I'm so sad to see another extremely negative topic of replies on Nintendolife. I am feeling less and less with this "fan" community every day.

Arceus needed an "Arkoos" option. IYKYK

@Snivee Indeed, should've been an easy swap for them to do that.

@PharoneTheGnome I agree, with sticks these are better.

@GammaPhonic How they usually do so; by borrowing money.

DBrand, a lot of marketing, almost zero quality. Yeah, I am skipping this.

So basically strucken down for trying to make money off of someone else's IP. Yeah, desrved.

@idkmyname Except it's not. A GKC can be traded with other people. A code in the box is nothing else than just an eShop download. Once used it becomes bound to your Nintendo account forever. Also a GKC doesn't take the eShop purchase option away.
A code in the box is nothing but worthless plastic.

@StorminNorman You don't have to. You can buy every single Switch 2 game on the eShop.

I once heard they made him left handed in the original games because that works better with a small sprite.

I played it on PC years ago. But the subscription cost finally put me off of it.

Stable 30 > unstable 60 fps

Loved the demo of the game. So I can't wait ... does this mean we'll see an Indie World soon-ish?

It looks like something someone designed while high on a fever dream. Yeah, I'll stick to real Pokémon.

Sadly not on Apple Music

Not so sure. It's Ubisoft afterall. Half finished games, low quality and high performance demands.

I played it, didn't like it. If Star Fox comes to Switch 2, I hope it's not this game.

This looks really cool for a Splatoon game. I love the single player focus here. I am absolutely going to buy this day one

No Key-Card? Pre-order canceled.

/jk

@SurprisedRobinChu Here is the answer: all of them do so. (some more than others)

@rjejr Mini-HDMI is one of the weakest ports you can have. They break really easily. But Nintendo could indeed make a USB-C to HDMI adapter. But that won't cool down the console like the Switch 2 Dock does. And it would not secure the system. I don't think Nintendo would want to have to handle warranty claims because the Switch 2 broke because the exhaust holes were blocked. So Nintendo making something like this.. 0 chance of ever happening.

And on the wireless streaming. Ofocurse it could happen with a specialised dongle. But that would have THE SAME ISSUES, of the system overheating because of a blocked fan intake. On Wii U this wasn't an issue, since the GamePad did not have any processing of it's own. (so no real heat build-up) unlike the Switch and Switch 2.

Yeah.. I don't want my expensive Switch 2 te overheat. Also while travelling I play handheld. (when at home as well)

I will get this once it comes to the S2. Never played a Bond game before, so I can't wait.

@ToniK Ofcourse the game isn't optimised for your PC

@UpsideDownRowlet It's mostly because you can actually see what "makes it tick". Which is very adventurous, I think. I rember having a purple transparent GameBoy color when I was younger.

@Samalik The Wii U was actually a good console. Though it lacked in third party games, some of the first party games are some of the best games ported to Switch (2). (and some are sadly still missing)

@Lynox5 For the stickers you could try Lego support. They also replace stickers for sets.

They should've just made this a seperate €30 set. It would've sold out just as quickly.

@garfreek Actually it's not behind a paywall, it's behind a buy a "far more expensive set"-wall. I'd be happy if you could actually buy it. Luckily the build instructions has a part list so you CAN buy the parts and build one seperately.

The set can also be bought from scalpers on Bricklink for around €120-300.

@Dr_Rocanlover Sure do so. But I am just going to enjoy the games I want to play. No matter how they are released. And honestly most games I have on Switch 2 are downloads anyway.. and I recently got a 1TB MicroSDXC card... I am good.

@Dr_Rocanlover Cyberpunk is a different game though. With a different file size. Also I don't think they should've split up the base game and the DLC.. since that would've made the game even more expensive.

And the price, well that's up to the publisher. Not the developer.

@Dr_Rocanlover How would you fit a 75GB game on a 64GB card? Without quality loss.

Yeah.. with a 75GB download this was always going to be the case. Even if it wasn't labelled a GKC, they would just have to force you to download most of the game anyway.

Splatoon Raiders and Fire Emblem, both sound really cool in their own way Can't wait.
