Caught my first one legitimately when the game first launched. There were so many lures around I know of a few people who got them. I also got lucky and hatched one in an egg.

Now training it is a bit of a grind, since really the only way is to have it walk with you, and you only get one candy per 5km.

I was initially excited seeing this launch trailer, and then I remembered about all those Genesis games that I bought from the iOS App Store years ago.

Yeah, I'm done with trying to play these games on mobile. If it's on Android then I can probably get them running on my GPD XD, but then again, I have most of those systems emulated perfectly.

Do let me know when Dreamcast and Saturn (or this collection coming to the Switch) becomes a thing though!

Can't wait for the 3.0.1 update:

"Improves controller stability." (By blocking 3rd party controllers and adapters.)

🎵It's Le Sport Sac.🎵
🎵It's Le Sport Sac.🎵

....I'm so sorry.

Translation: "Nintendo sucks because they won't let me compose a soundtrack for one of their games."

...But seriously though, Yuzo doing a Zelda soundtrack? Oh heck yes!

Of course... now that I've finally managed to get one of my 'mons into a gym, it's coming back out.

To me, gyms aren't really the main problem. (They are flawed and need fixing, but...) what this game really lacks is ways to heal your Pokémon after taking on those gyms. You can't buy potions with Poké Coins. The only way to get them is to get lucky on a Pokéstop spin.

If they could just add in Pokémon Centers... even a one-time daily full heal of your team would be great. (You could even sell additional heals via microtransactions, because hey, it's 2017 and we've all been conditioned to that by now...)

I'm still a bit confused about this. If it's unifying the console versions where the worlds are restricted by an invisible wall, with the PC versions where worlds are infinite, (or so I'm told) how is that going to work? Will PC players just walk off into the nothingness while Switch and XB1 players just stand there, unable to cross?

Honestly, the more I hear about this game, the more I'm liking it, and I hate the Rabbids.

Like if they leaked something where you could unlock literally any other character to play as in their place, I'd buy it, no question.

Wow! I forgot ARMS was coming out this soon.

The Testpunch really sold me, so I'll be getting it in the near future, if not right away.

@Senpai_Bruh
Sadly, this looks like a game where a good English localization would be integral to play it. Maybe they'll be nice and include multiple language options but I don't see that happening unless they go the digital-only release route (a la "I Am Setsuna).

Then again, if you know Japanese, (I know a little) then more power to you!

Isn't this the same guy who flat out denied they were showing this game at E3 this year?

Yeah, there aren't enough grains of salt in the Dead Sea to take with this guy.

Considering this is a game about RC cars driving fast and knocking balls around, I'd say a good, strong, consistent framerate is absolutely paramount.

That's why I can't play this game on my 6 year old computer.

At first glance I thought they friggin' did the Mario + The Minions crossover I was joking about when the Rabbids thing was leaked...

I seem to recall the last few Kirby games doing very very well.

What exactly do you mean by Kirby curse, oh mysterious sub-headline.

@TheXReturns @sp_initiate-001

That Mario thumbnail on the video is perfect. This is quite a surprise this early! Weren't they saying Holidays the first time?

@Fbigabig
It's this cult classic that was one of those hidden gems on the Gamecube (one was even released for the Wii) It's a sort of reboot of one of Nintendo's other, much older franchises. They got a lot of details faithful to the original, like how the protagonist, Metroid, cannot crawl.

Never played this game but I've always wanted to. Never had a good enough computer or the right consoles... until now!

What's that? A game where the pre-order bonuses are announced before the game itself??

Oh, Ubisoft!

@LeRaposa
Are we really comparing the lineup of Xbox (which you'd have to already own, so technically not "free") to the hugely deep library of Nintendo's past consoles?

I'd love to have Virtual Console on the Switch. My only hope is that how ever Nintendo decides to do it, it's not as slow a trickle as we saw on Wii U.

@Lalivero @Angelic_Lapras_King
I know the Genesis Royal Rumble game only had like 8 playable characters, and could only handle 4 at a time in the ring. So you'd throw some guys out, and then their palette swaps would come in for a grand total of 16 competitors.

I'm a pro-wrestling fan, and I might get this if it comes to Switch, but these yearly releases are really more like The Sims, but with fighting.

It's a lot of fun to make yourself or your friends or other fictional characters (or download a bunch of others') and have them powerbomb each other. But the actual controlling/fighting mechanics leave a lot to be desired. It's more fun to just let the COM simulate it.

@Angelic_Lapras_King
Why stop there? Lets get 30 together for a Royal Rumble!

Oh boy! Can't wait to play my Genesis games with distorted sound effects and off-key music in horrendously up-scaled 720p!

I'm long past the point where I get excited about E3. Rarely do you actually see game content anymore. It's just a bunch of pre-rendered trailers mixed with whatever LA celebrity wasn't doing anything for the afternoon in an attempt for Ubisoft to say "HEY LOOK! WE'RE RELEVANT!"

You could say I'm jaded, and... yeah, this is the very definition of jaded. You are correct.

This reminds me of something Disney World did around... 2000 I think?

You could buy this little, standalone Mickey-shaped dot matrix handheld minigame collection. You'd start with only one of the games unlocked, but when you walk to certain other rides and attractions, (like Space Mountain, It's a Small World, the Hollywood Studios backlot tour, etc.) you unlock other minigames based on them.

And some of them were actually pretty fun! Definitely passed the time when you were stuck in line and made your visit feel more like an adventure!

Good to see some TG-16 love... on the Wii U no less. Never played Neutopia, but maybe now is the time.

I suppose see the plus side of having this be a 3DS exclusive, but at the same time, I see it as more and more of a downside that these are not on the Switch.

Even if it were 3DS and Switch, this could only sell more Switches. It would definitely find an audience of people who already own the Switch, as many of us have long completed Breath of the Wild and are all the more hungry for another deep RPG to sink our teeth into, even if they were turned off (like me) by the major confusing changes and gimmicks this generation has had to offer thus far.

Ultimately, Nintendo's move to not include a Switch release of one of their best-selling franchises sends a message to gamers that Nintendo's not ready to make this a true portable successor to the 3DS. It could've been a powerful move to do just that, but they seem too set in their "main series Pokemon games should be purely portable" ways.

Apparently the person who put the original listing on their site was fired for having too much sense.

I only got to catch the last session. It was a whole lot of fun! I always knew Nintendo would be able to figure out how to make this concept into something fun, like they always have.

If any of you've missed it or anything, and aren't sure about it, definitely play it in stores or something. It's really something you need to play to truly get the gist of just how surprisingly deep this game is.

Well then. Looks like you won't be able to enjoy the Mega Man 7 ending in its full Mode7 glory. That was the problem with the original Mega Man collections on PS2. Though the Gamecube version handled them ok iirc.

I definitely think it should happen, and I like the ideas these screenshots seem to express, but I'm about 85% sure they're fake.

All the timer/numbering graphics/fontwork are different from the current games, for example. I don't see why they would go through the trouble of changing them when it seems like there would be a lot more work for them to do in regards to merging the 3DS and Wii U versions.

(Though I really can't wait to play Smash run with friends on the big screen, so I reeeeeeallly hope at least that happens.)

Actually picked up the game this past Friday and, @sdelfin, I have some great news related to your comment!

If you pick the "classic sounds" mode in the options, Guile will have his original, non-Super Street Fighter II voice!

...So I guess they weren't completely lazy.

That's great! Even more of a shame that I missed all the windows this weekend...

@sdelfin
I know, right? Just from that video you can hear that they didn't keep him to the right time, as his "Round 1" and "Fight" overlap slightly enough for it to be noticeable.

I mean, come on! I've been involved with fan (and professional) voice projects where you absolutely have to keep each phrase to a certain time. That's just lazy, Capcom.

I still plan on buying this... eventually. But damn, that new announcer is already annoying. Did they finally run out of the contract on the first guy?

I just can't get over that the cars in a racing game are saying "ouch!" when you hit something.

Called "Emblem of the Millenials."

Priced outside of a vast majority of millenials' price range.

Considering people have built entire computers in this game, I wouldn't be surprised if someone built some kind of thing that could manipulate the Switch OS in certain ways.

Who knows, this could be the back door Switch modders have been looking for! (and have allegedly already found.)

This is probably the best way to do it, honestly.

E3 as a physical event is quickly becoming irrelevant, (if it isn't already) since it's already being covered wall to wall on every gaming news site. So what's the point in Nintendo flying its big reps out there and reserving a few hours for a press conference, that they can get the same effect by just keeping everyone at home and broadcasting direct (hehe) to the masses.

The demo stations, however, are still a good idea to let the press go hands on with their new swag. Nintendo's getting the best of all worlds here.

@TsukiDeity
Sadly, since it is an idea that makes logic sense, My Nintendo will probably steer totally clear of it.

Maybe they'll release a wallpaper of all the badges... for 100 gold coins.

@8-Bit_Zorldo @Deanster101
At $40 I'd very highly doubt it's packing an FPGA. Those are still expensive, high-precision chips.

Given Hyperkin's history, and the fact that it's using the RetroN name, my best guess is that this is a stripped down RetroN 5 with only the onboard (and possibly license-violating) NES emulator.

@SANICBOOM644
Cave Story got a physical release as Cave Story 3D on the 3DS.

Heck. You don't even need to Google where to get that wallpaper. They were nice enough to post it right here in the article for you!.

Or heaven forbid you dust off your old scanner and scan your freaking box.

It's weird that the Switch seems to be the first console getting physical versions of many long-established games.

Binding of Isaac, I Am Setsuna, and soon Minecraft.

Which would you rather have? A week with few, but quality releases. Or a week with many releases but most of them are shovelware/Unity asset flipped/RCMADIAX games?

Someone's gonna hate me for this but...
AND HIS NAME WAS AYRTON SENNA!!

**BRRAPPADOO INTENSIFIES**

It's a pretty good exception handler, I guess. Kinda like the Chris Houlihan room in A Link To The Past.

Got to get up close and personal with this thing at a convention in OKC this weekend.

P.S. All these years and this is how I'm showing everyone my real face?

I love how RCMADIAX's "FIFTEEN" is underlined in this article. It's like a subtle way of saying, "YEP! We've got this one again."

@gojiguy
B-b-but.... there's the ever amazing Caravan Mode!! /s
