@Il_Nintenditore For me, yes. As I will never understand why one will not give a game a chance because of an arbitrary feature. Bots are not required. It's a luxury, not a necessity.
@Daniel36 Heha, I'm aware of what kind of game it is. I have the GC version with all the GBA to GC link cables to go with it. My friends and I played it a lot growing up.
Despite the slow and tedious gameplay, I still enjoyed it. I even tried the demo for the FF:CC remastered. It was fine but yes, it could have been so much better.
Hmm..may be tempted to get the Crystal Chronicles Remaster edition. One of my favorite game on the GC. I know the Switch version was rather butchered but I'm still tempted to get it for a cheap price.
Aliens for me. Bigfoot isn't real at all. Just some myth for the desperate. Nessie I don't know much about. Sounds and looks cool but I doubt to be real.
@DanijoEX Probably because shooters are simpler and easy to work and patch compared to an open world RPG. Splatoon 3 is a competitive shooter. Which would get more support over a monster vs monster game like Pokemon.
That's just how I see it. I could easily be wrong.
The Direct was good. Found some nice surprises that I wasn't expecting. Looking forward to seeing the Splatoon 3 DLC Expansion. Can't wait to get my hands on the Tales of Symphonia Remaster and Baten Kaitos 1+2 Remaster. ^^
The MLP Power Pros that came out is a fun game as well. For $1, it's a steal.
@anoyonmus Hence why it shouldn't be surprising. It's basic economics. Prices go up as the years go by. Let's just be glass it's not up to a $100 a game. Cause you know very well they can do that.
@GoshJosh Things getting expensive is nothing new. Why complain about something that we know will happen? Especially when nothing can be done about it in the first place.
@Bratwurst35 Pretty much. It shouldn't be a surprise to know one. We as humans want things to be like this. Nothing is gonna change that. XD
Gaming has always been an expensive. Anyone complaining about paying any $60-70 for a game these days shouldn't be getting into the hobby in the first place. Common sense.
I never cared much for the series as it was WAY too slow of game. With Monster Hunter Rise, the series got a much needed upgrade with it's faster gameplay. I'm glad to see this game doing so well. It's one of my favorites. ^^
@Hero-of-WiiU Peer to Peer base, like most online games. If one connection is bad, it's all bad. Nintendo DOES need to do better with their net code, but they only do so much. A good net code can't make up for a gamer's bad ISP.
@nickeddowes I can see that being a thing. They already have a Switch Lite, so the Switch "Heavy" would be the TV version only. Seeing this form factor is VERY Nintendo.
Maybe it would be a bump up in CPU/GPU specs but I won't hold my breath. Nintendo isn't one to play the power game. They let their 1st party IP do the talking instead.
My favorite Title of the Tales of Series game. I enjoyed the Gamecube, I'll enjoy the Switch.
30FPS doesn't bother me. While it would be nice if this was based of the GC version, which had 60 FPS, I'm just happy the game is coming to switch in the first place. I'm not going to complain about the FPS.
@Serpenterror Assuming this game has a physical release, it's probably too late in production to go through every single cartridge to apply the update.
It's faster just to send the game carts out on time then apply the day 1 patch.
Regardless of the outcome, it will not stop me from buying an enjoying a game. This just sounds a typical Karen complaining she didn't get more money for her work.
@sketchturner The majority love fast paced action. Especially the casual audience. Quick, easy, and can be played in a short time. Just look at Splatoon. ^^
@RareFan I believe he still has them. He just doesn't use them much. That or all that "personality" you mention is under the license of Rare. Either way, Diddy Kong still has plenty of personality. He ain't no side character like Birdo.
The gyro/motion controls are part of the features. It's just not mentioned in the article. Either way, this looks to be a nice controller. May want to get for my PC one of these days.
Alas, most of my extra spending money is tied up with getting Splatoon 3. Along with it's version of the Switch Pro Controller. Still waiting for that to go for pre-order in the US.
Oh well, time to focus on the Switch and other current gen system. Wii U may have been short lived but the 3DS had a nice, long run. Time to move on to the next big thing.
I haven't played my 3DS in forever. I sold my Wii U a long time ago as well. While I enjoyed my 3DS immensely, I'm not gonna lose any sleep over this. I say let them close the shop down. The time for 3DS/Wii U gaming has past. It's time to move on.
@BenAV Agree. The game should have just been release on time rather then being pushed back due to whatever ***** the world is having. Humans killing other humans isn't anything new.
Big fan of this series and eagerly awaiting for this game's release. I'm just sad that it won't have many players to play it. Just look at how fast the online scene for Groove of War died... : (
@BenAV Yeah, with that many hours into the series, it really sounds like your skill have drastically improved since MH1.
I only tried MH Tri, MH3U, and World. Never finished them as they didn't really stick. But Rise/Sunbreak is my fav so far. The faster combat is so much better then the previous game. Maybe that's why it's easier. The combat isn't as clunky as it used to be.
It has nothing to do with laziness. People are just impatient. If the game doesn't have enough to keep the player busy, they complain it's too short or unfinished. They rather complain then wait for the mentioned patches that were already announced in the first place.
For many, gaming is the only escape from the harsh reality of the real world. Myself included. I consider that a benefit and mood improvement if your able to forget how much life just plain sucks.
@RupeeClock @PorllM If the parent isn't going to be responsible with their kid or if they have no self control when it comes to gambling, it's their problem. Not the company fault. One of the problems with having free will.
Heha, yes. I was waiting for a Splatoon 3 theme pro controller. The dock doesn't look half bad either. Would like to get my hands on both when they are released. ^^

@Il_Nintenditore Your point? Bots in a multiplayer game isn't a requirement.
Re: Splatoon 3 Version 3.1.0 Announced, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
@Il_Nintenditore Doesn't need any. It's not a solo game. It's a multiplayer game in the competitive e-sports scene (small one but still).

Re: Tales Of Symphonia Remastered Is Looking Slick In New Story Trailer
Can't wait to play this game on my Switch. While the lack 60 FPS does suck, it's not a game killer. 30 FPS is just fine.
Better than having a Pokemon game running at 2 FPS. Cringe
Re: Talking Point: Do You Name Your Pokémon?
Nickname pokemon can be fun. Not very creative but I call Sandshrew Koopa and Squirtle Haru. Simple but I like em. : P
Re: Tales Of Symphonia Remastered Will Be Launching On Switch Next February

Re: Mario Kart Tour To Remove Gacha Elements Next Month
@Roz1281 That's usually how mobile games work. Even Nintendo new it work well. Mario Kart on Mobile is a guaranteed win.
It is nice to see the courses coming to Mario Kart 8. Game is still played to this day, despite how long it's been out. XD
Re: Mario Kart Tour To Remove Gacha Elements Next Month
@Roz1281 I'm pretty sure that's what the new DLC for Mario Kart 8 is for. I'd be VERY surprise if this game got ported to Switch.

Re: Nintendo Prepares For 3DS & Wii U eShop Closure With Scheduled Maintenance

Re: Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak's Title Update 1 Is Out Tomorrow, Here Are The Patch Notes
@BenAV Too easy or have you just gotten better at the game? There is a difference. Difficultly can only go up so much if your good at the game.
I'm a Monster Hunter scrub so I've found master rank to be very challenging.
Re: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe - Booster Course Pass Wave 2 Confirmed For Next Week
I wonder if the extra time was to make the tracks look better? I know many players were mix on the tracks appearance and aesthetics.
Personal, the tracks look fine. I'm just happy to see more tracks coming to the game. ^^
Re: Random: GQ Calls Video Game Patches "Laziness", And People Are Not Impressed

It's still the beta. They have plenty of time to make changes.
Re: Pokémon TCG Live Beta Now Available In Select Locations Around The Globe
@Vivianeat That might be done on purpose. Simple avatars so they can focus on working on the rest of the game.
