@nilcam No it didn’t lol. That game was famous for having awful netcode for the time, as with most Arc Sys games, like Blazblue and Guilty Gear. People played it because it was still online at the end of the day.

I’m named after this series and I refuse to support this garbage. If size was really an issue for non native ports, why not just sell the games as digital exclusives? Come on Square

They gave Avalugg a new form... just to suck more. Going by the datamined abilties, a good chunk of these new mons don't seem all that good. Outside of the new genie, she's at least OU lol

I definitely contributed to the games sales. It's one of my favorite rpgs in a long time and the game is just a joy to look at. Plus trying to get the best monstie is always addicting, at least for me lol

@BAN Haha, very true. Hell, I'm one of the 13 Million

Not much of a suprise. Everyone wants a PS5 because of hype. No one really wanted a Wii U no matter what came out for the system.

@Gwynbleidd You're on a news site about video games. They're also useless when you think about it.

@Gwynbleidd That's a heavy lowball lol. Lots stuff go into the production of these little guys which is why they're decently expensive

Haven't play much of this game, but I know someone who would love it. I'll probably get it for em haha

I like how they say "Dreamcast" classic, but I found out about this series on the PS2 with Round 2. It's still a decent game though. I love platformer goodness, so I'm excited for this

@fafonio not counting alternative forms, there’s 242 Pokémon in the dex. Many of them are returning mons

@fafonio I would say new Pokémon appear at a decent rate. It does take a bit though. For awhile all I was running into was the Pokémon you’d find on the first few routes in DPP. Design of the world is okay as well. I would’ve liked a jump button, but that’s why they give you Pokémon to help with the exploration.

@fafonio I actually did end up playing it early as well if you’re interested. Played the first few hours or so. The beginning is super handholdy but after a bunch of dialogue, the game was pretty fun. Game looks and runs like garbage, but the catching of Pokémon and exploring is fun and rather satisfying. From what I experienced, it’s a very decent game

This game looks God awful graphically, but I did end up preordering it, so I guess that means something. Hopefully this game is as great as the critics says, they were pretty wrong the couple Pokémon games haha

This game looks fantastic. I enjoyed playing through Star Allies Guest Star mode every once in awhile while I was waiting for a new title. I’m so glad it’s coming out soon haha

@AstralRedStar705 I vastly prefer having physical games. I only get digital games if I really wanna play it the night of release

@Specter_of-the_OLED People love the series because it came out at the right time. Edgy nonsense with the writings of a madman appealed perfectly to the young kids and teens of the era. It’s also why some people choose to get into the series nowadays.

Aww. I was hoping this would be a port of Valis Complete Plus, but I do love the Valis titles. So I'll be picking it up when it comes out in English

This is super cool. The Gex titles were a fun time and his humor just clicks with me. If he does come back, I hope they keep him dated in terms of the jokes.

I’m glad to hear this. The game is super fun in my opinion. I actually prefer it to Ultimate gameplay wise lol. Hopefully these updates get more people interested in the game

Does this play like Burst Re:newal? That game’s combat was actually pretty good. Like DMC lite, which I want to see more of

Oh gross, a cloud version. It doesn't help that the game doesn't look that good either. I'll pass on this one

Great game, but this drip fed content is insulting. Also that price point...

Arena Ultimax is a great game (in terms of gameplay anyways, don’t care for the story), but goodness, this feels like a tone deaf decision. I’m pretty sure the switch owners were begging for the RPGs, not the fighting game. Regardless, I’ll pick this up, just not on switch.

Also please have rollback netcode

Still pretty ugly, but you know what? It looks fun. I’m not foaming at the mouth for the game, but I can see myself grabbing this

@NintendoPete that’s a bit too pricey, plus importing fees. Guess I’ll suck it up and grab it digital unless they release a double pack like they did with the regular Gunvolt games

@Bizzyb Damn. Thanks for the heads up. If the price isn’t too much higher then digital, I’ll grab it. I hate this limited run non sense though.

@Bizzyb I'd love to if the physical versions wheren't so hard to find

@NintendoPete Explains why I didn't know about it. It's probably rare now

Wait, was there a physical version for the first game? I don't remember that coming out

Over $1000 for a 1/6 scale? The highest I'd go $500 or $600

This looks super pretty but my goodness is the market flooded with 2D Metroidvanias

Nice. He moveset looks soild too. I'll try him when he comes out in a few days

Reminder that Square Enix couldn't port their PS2 games, but Bandai could

Oooh. I might back it. While I don't play competetive smash anymore, this could be a nice thing to have

This looks absolutely lovely, but $20 for an extremely short game? I'd rather pick it up on sale if I can

I grabbed Zelda because I don't like the fact that you can't put the Wii U in sleep mode haha. I never did beat this one. Hope it's good. I also might grab splatoon, but I don't like shooters and I believe third one is coming out soon

Color me surprised. A site that gave Pokemon the score a deserves. Looks like a few of the commenters don't agree with the score though

@HotGoomba Several later Kirby games tackle some slightly dark tones that I wouldn't want my 4 year old niece exposed to. At least at that point of her life.

Cool to see Tyranitar up there. Kinda sucks that his rival isn't there though. Do people not like Aggron?

@Dr_Lugae Are you not counting the 3rd versions that came out? The only games that didn’t reach that number was X & Y, but it had the Gen 3 remakes the pick up the slack.

Also those “other reasons to play” either super simple or something that’s already existed. Camp? It’s Pokemon amie, but you can throw a ball and make some curry in like two seconds. Wild Area? An unoptimized patch of nothing. If that’s effort, then they’re not doing a good job.

@Dr_Lugae …So did you miss everything else I said? National Dex missing is only one part of the problem. Also what slump are you talking about? The sales for the series have been consistently hitting over 20 million units, and that was also during the era where pirating DS games were easy as pie.

Also your argument doesn’t make sense. If they’re not going to put that effort towards giving us features that the past games had that were also well liked, where’s that effort going? This new title looks like a Unity project, because guess what? It is

I'm too excited for Monster Hunter and Kirby! 2022 can't come fast enough. 2021 was kinda dry for me unfortunately

I don't see the issue here. If you're doing a s*** job, you're going to get angry criticism. Playing through the leaked game showed me that despite the amount of complaints they got from SWSH, they're still not improving. The idea of "making something accessible" doesn't mean jack when your series is already one of the highest grossing franchises on the planet.
Here's a list of features people wanted, yet they haven't been implemented:

• People want the national dex.
• They want post games.
• They want Mega Evolutions.
• They want remakes to include the best version's features.
• They want difficulty settings.
• They want an EXP share toggle.
• They want an end to retailer-exclusive distributions.
• We want GTS trading in the games.

This franchise has been on a steady decline since Gen 6, but it's a complete joke now

@Sourcecode They’re a Nintendo focused site. They gotta defend most Nintendo related things

Okay, how about I use the phrase “Wasted Potential”? I feel like that works just as well. For example, Pokemon could be so much better, but it’s wasted potential

@mr-duster If I wanted to use it, I *have * to use it because it can't be turned off. That's forced. But I'm done here

@Anti-Matter That's literally not possible. I think we're done here

@mr-duster Can it be turned off? No? Then it's being forced. And it does take away the strategy of team comp and knowing when to switch your mons at the proper time. If everything is overleveled, you're just mashing the A button at each encounter.

@Anti-Matter I like hard games, so that's not a good reason. I just want to be able to use my brain for something and not mash A the entire time. That's boring. And I'm not saying easy games can't be fun either, just do enough to get me to pay attention to what I'm doing
