Re: Rumour: Sonic's New Game Might Be An Open-World Adventure

@TruthisRare Sounds like your switch was destined to gather dust if you only bought it to play first party AAA titles (as they take time...shocker) and not those "10 billion indie games".

Nintendo is outputting enough first party content with third party support and great indie releases inbetween and it's working wonderfully for them in terms of hardware and software sales. So this is definetly a you problem.

Re: Video: Beautiful Ghibli-Esque Platformer Hoa Gets A 7-Minute Gameplay Trailer

It'll be interesting to see how gameplay changes. Right now it just seems like a gorgeous interactive storybook.

Like the gameplay mechanics shown here were simply walking and jumping, the pace very much constant with no control to the player. It does seem really relaxing but not necessarily fun.

Making elements interactive could have added challenge, like maybe the player could have had to spawn that mushroom/cause it to grow to reach the high branch somehow. Maybe the player could have used their magic to spawn the leaves in the right place. Maybe the leaves could have succumb under pressure after x seconds causing an idling player to fall through. That could have added platforming/puzzle challenge to the game.

I need to see more. But i think from this demo their goal is narrative and pacing for a calm relaxing experience. Which is great for those it interests. Just not me.

Scolipede is one ofmy favourites glad to see it up there.

I really love bug pokemon some of my favourites are Yanmega, Vikavolt, Golisopod, mega beedril, scizor.

I do really like Gigantamax Orbeetle it's a UFO damn it xD

My top is either Centiskorch or Scolipede. I had an all bug team in SW/SH but stopped playing after i found out Scolipede was locked behind DLC...kinda bummed me out since i was saving my last slot for them.

Complete nonsense but i can dream.

Can we have a non canon avengers style mode, where oracle of ages and ocarina of time link turn up with all the links, zeldas, interesting characters (adult sidon my boy) from the past and and future to change the course of history. That way my Queen Urbosa can live and Mipha can be there to watch Sidon and his beautiful lil smile grow bigger and bigger each day.

Koei tecmo can you make this mode just for me. Thanks.

Re: First 4 Figures Presents Its Stunning Spyro Reignited Resin Statue

@SonOfVon Are you ok? Do you need a hug?

A lot of people that follow this site collect figures. A lot people on this site myself included enjoy basking in the glorious design of figures like this. Can't afford it but i sure as hell like looking at them.

Also as others have pointed out spyro games have been on nintendo systems and a new spyro game will release on switch next month. So spyro has a presence in the nintendo community for some.

You don't like it? Don't click. Simple really. But don't try to deny the logic or reason as to why it's here. You'll just sound crazy.

Re: UK Retailers Begin Switch Lite Pre-Orders With A Placeholder Price Of £200

Sidon_Zora_King

@sanderev I'm aware of every point you are making.

I'm simply pointing out their are better 'value' options.

There are many bundles regularly available from various stores that when broken down put the cost of the actual switch unit around £220 to £250. And with all the added functionality, two controllers, portable and tv play, wider library etc. It's just much better value.

Which is ironic when "lite" models are supposed to represent better value for money.

But in saying that i appreciate value is personal to the individual. Value can be found in the lack of joycons, your kids cant break what's not there, smaller more portable size, what looks to be a sturdier design, £200 access point even if the bundled switches get you more bang for your buck.

Re: UK Retailers Begin Switch Lite Pre-Orders With A Placeholder Price Of £200

Sidon_Zora_King

I think it's too expensive.

There is a mario maker 2 bundle of the regular switch that will cost £300 pounds. With this you get a 12 month online subscription, mario maker 2 and £30 eshop credit. That means you're paying around £200 for the actual switch unit. Which has 2 detachable controlllers (two fully functional controllers out of the box), more functionality with an IR camera and HD rumble and it doubles up as a home console and a portable.

The switch lite comes with no software and is portable only at £200. And it is limited in terms of the software it can play. Not all games will be playable.

I think it will still sell like hotcakee. But when you break it down it's not really great value.

Re: More Than 52,000 People Voted For Their Favourite Pokémon, Here Are The Results

Sidon_Zora_King

The four pokemon that received no votes are part of an evolutionary chain that results in someone's favourite pokemon. So even removing just those four would result in their chains being removed and therefor that would be a terrible idea to some fans.
So gamefreak really can't win on this one. (As far as reasoning goes. Financially they will still win because people will still by these games by the millions).

Re: Brand New Pokémon And Legendaries Revealed For Pokémon Sword And Shield

Sidon_Zora_King

I really like Corviknight, wooloo and the turtle thing. I think the turtle thing is my favourite. I just like him.

The sword legendary is alright not so much a fan of the shield one. I dunno. I thought they were uninspired.

A couple things i didnt like about the presentation was the lack of enthusiasm on display when revealing new pokemon and no information beyond what their dex status will probably read like. I think the art director could have been more upbeat and his script could have been more informative to build hype, like mention their typings and their battle styles.

Also the box art looks really bad. I'm assuming it's a mock up but even still I personally think it looks very amateurish. (I am very pedantic about smaller details I know).

Anyways to end on a positive note I'm super excited. Especially to explore the wild area. I just love seeing pokemon in the over world.

Re: Here Are Your Nintendo Switch Online NES Games For The Month Of June

Sidon_Zora_King

I repurchased splatoon 2 today after loosing it a few months back.

Unfortunately i checked my play time and saw it had been reset to zero.

In doing so i also noticed my playtime for the nes app was just one hour. I've been a member since the start.

The online service right now is very niche. It lacks mass appeal as there is no diversity.

Just my two cents

Re: Feature: Eevee x Tamagotchi Is A Surprisingly Resilient Virtual Pet For A New Generation

Sidon_Zora_King

@Preposterous You realise the movie was reviewed by a staff member with a minor in film? So it's not like they pulled someone off of the street to review it. I would think they are quite qualified.

Also reviews are opinion pieces. Once a review is non-biased and written coherently i don't see a problem with who reviewed it or where it was reviewed.

Also this is a nintendo related news site. Nintendo stands to profit from this film. It may also encourage future film adaptions.

It absolutely should be covered here.

Re: Movie Review: Pokémon Detective Pikachu Does Enough To Break The 'Bad Video Game Movie' Curse

Sidon_Zora_King

Imagine thinking words like damn are so offensive they warrant censorship.
Imagine doubting your ability as a parent to educate your child on not using words people find offensive and if they are used in movies they are for effect.

Imagine doubting your child's intelligence and ability to understand that.

Imagine sheltering your child from every minute thing you think is bad instead of allowing them to experience and process things for themselves. To form their own opinions and morals.

This thread is laughable.
