If anything it should be the other way around in a lot of cases, at least for AAA

@ChakraStomps I cheer for playing games on hardware that makes them look somewhat modern. I cheer for modding communities who add exciting features to games. I cheer for the law that says emulation isn't illegal. If you're admitting that you would personally steal if you got into emulation then that's on you but don't put that on others, I don't steal from physical stores and I don't steal from websites.

You should have your keyboard taken away until you're older.

There are a quarter million forks of Yuzu still floating around countless discord/telegram/x/etc communities. They mostly pull the best new updates from each other. The beauty of open source. They cannot/will not defeat emulation and they know it, everything they've done is posturing.

Was a common criticism how it looks completely similar to its 13 year old predecessor? Because the new trailers aren't doing anything to mend that opinion.

@BrazillianCara Not even remotely

@AdolBannings-Laylee I'm sorry, did they show us what the game looks like or no? Have we seen what they released with ScarVi or no? Where's your optimism coming from? We got a trailer, we're judging the trailer, welcome to the internet.

It looks like someone dropped a Pokemon prototype into a Microsoft Flight Simulator '98 map. If that's how they choose to present themselves then it's no different than someone who never bathes or brushes their teeth coming up to my door in a soiled robe and asking me to hear their sales pitch. They might be selling something valuable, but, no thanks.

@8bitKirby I think you understand. I think some people pretend to not understand, which is silly.

What I really wanted from ZA was to wash the taste of **** from my mouth after ScarVi, not remind me of it from the vapid look of architecture reminiscent of a freshman college student's game development class project circa 2005 to the soulless art style. Arceus may not have been remotely technically competent but it at least had vibe and style with the watercolor aesthetic and mysterious setting. I'm still excited to see more but if this trailer did anything it was to remind me that if GameFreak does anything right anymore it's by mistake and to not expect a pattern of it.

@LeJuiceCup meh they're closer to correct than anyone defending this company.

@BrazillianCara impossible

@Ryu_Niiyama probably too busy building a fort out of their stacks of cash to cry about the 7 people that will try this for 10 minutes before the novelty wears off

This would be a trip on the 3DS, I'll wait and see if anyone takes a stab at porting it there but I love everything about either old console getting love from a passionate community that's keeping them alive.

This should theoretically be exciting but I can't really think of a single MS game I give a crap about, same reason my Series X hasn't been turned on since I beat Elden Ring.

The more I see of this the more disappointed I feel. I wanted more than just a remake of the first game with a little DLC thrown in.

@martynstuff The narrative is and has been that all modern Pokemon games suck besides Arceus. If you love ScarVi power to you but they're objectively trash.

@abbyhitter What about it specifically?

This is a lot of hoopla over a remastered 3DS game with very minimal DLC

It just looks like such a carbon copy of the original. What exactly is new that's supposed to excite anyone, an "artist" class that I assume will be another cut/copy of cooking/smithing/sewing/etc? And placing furniture outside? I wanted to see WAY more from this, like a bunch of new enemies and ways to do combat and ways to interact with friends. Literally every enemy they've shown so far is ripped straight out of the 3DS game. Good for anyone who never played that I guess.

If only the shoulder button was touch sensitive so it could be used as a scroll wheel.

@drypaphmrbro You'll find that you're opinion is in the vast minority. Scarlet and Violet were more of the formula and were truly awful in ways that can't even be debated. The series needs to evolve and Legends is the best proof we have that the company is even capable of that.

I like the new look because it gives him a kinder default disposition without keeping him from making the old face by furrowing his brow which will make it more impactful than when it's permanent.

I just keep going back to Hollow Knight to hold me over. I hope these guys take all the time they need, even if it's on the Switch 3, I'm as impatient as the next guy but masterpieces can't be rushed.

@Lord uh yeah, the original hasn't gotten any worse in the time. In fact it's only gotten more popular.

So I'll never finish my collection. This is pointless and I have now lost interest in the app. All I wanted to do was have all the cards, I don't enjoy battling strangers.

SotE has more effort put into it than TotK. Anyone complaining that it shouldn't be nominated while TotK deserved to be last year just because you could bUy iT sEpaRaTelY are hypocrites. You have to buy a game within a game, who cares? Do you really care? Luckily it wasn't up to you.

@Ultimapunch Just recently? Concord, SM2 and Dragon Age say hello.

@Tott I've opened 10 packs so far and 5 were Lapras, 4 were Mankeys and one was Pikachu. I'll literally trade you 2 Lapras for one Butterfree if I don't get one in time.

If I want to trade something rare for something common that I've been struggling to get I should be able to do so. Rolling this out, making it limited, is really silly. Who cares if people complete their sets? Just keep releasing more. There are at least 9k cards to put out. I'm going to lose interest if every little detail is behind some kind of pay wall.

Open two packs of 5 cards every day then... stare at them. Oh joy. The Gameboy Color game was way better than this.

I hope it was worth the 40 years in prison and 12 million dollars taken out of each paycheck for this disgusting alarm hacker.

I'm glad whatever this is didn't manifest. The deviation to a Mayan vibe was fine for Returns but it doesn't need revisited, it holds none of the charm of the OT or Tropical Freeze. I hope I'm not alone in hoping they try harder to recapture/modernize the SNES vibe in the future considering so few games come close to having that magic in the decades since.

The BoxBoy! games are some of my favorite games of all time so I should definitely check this out.

Pokemon could learn a lot from just about any other game company. They can certainly aim for quality like EoW but it's best to start small I think.

Ah, mods ❤ Not only did the community fix the framerate and resolution scaling, they gave us Sheik, Linkle and Hoodless. Beautiful game without but my personal GotY with.

I just heard the Waluigi voice and OOF I'm immediately truly saddened for the fist time since Martinet stepped down.

The only time I stream games to my 3DS is when there's a 3D patch for a game. I just beat Hollow Knight in 3D and it was stunning. But yeah you can play any game on any console with Moonlight, hardly news worthy tbh

@the_beaver I've played over half of those and none of them came close to Hollow Knight, I doubt the ones I haven't heard of come close either.

@SalvorHardin What's the other most iconic? Wii had theme music, Gamecube, 3DS, all pretty iconic. WiiU failed hard but had personality. Switch is successful but has no personality.

Nintendo without Iwata is like the Switch without themes and background music.

I'm surprised you don't mention how to actually unlock more challenges. At what point in the game will all 14 be available?

My Type 1 body is ready

@Polvasti are those really the best quotes there are to call for her cancellation? How do either of those statements hurt you? Like just scoff and move on. What's really hurting your people is the way you overreact and attempt to control language, discourse, etc. Your movement reminds me a lot of PETA. I love the people as individuals but I'm embarrassed for the perception you're creating for yourselves as a whole. Attacking a beloved series because the author "doesn't believe something happened" or other such soft offenses is not a battle that will win you any favors with those outside your group.

I wonder why he didn't do the TV out mod? This would be the ultimate Switch with that and Homebrew with overclock.

@poudigne I just did the dungeon in the desert and thought it was really good? 2D will obviously feel a little less epic than 3D but I don't feel like it's any worse than prior 2D Zeldas at the very least.

I wanted to be upset about how low Echoes of Wisdom is but then I saw all the games in front of it and realized for the hundredth time that this is just really an amazing series. But yeah Echoes is great, better than Minish at least if I'm going to follow through with my initial plan to protest.

9/10. I love it, I just find it weird that in between all of these well-built towns there are so many bland hallways of rough nature. I would have expected more beautiful roads, pathways and manicured greenery etc out in the wild to flesh out the experience, like there are very charming areas... In towns, and very cute architecture/furniture... In houses. Outside it's patch of grass here, wall of trees there, hundreds of enemies here and there. It's so lonely outside of towns too, NObody travels? Besides that I can't say I have many complaints. Hitting start to see my list of echoes fixes the scrolling problem yet nobody mentions that. The framerate was really bothering me but I fixed it with a mod. I don't want it to end, it's so lovely and such a fun concept.

@Mega64 They are still following the old style. The Ultra Beasts in BotW and "temples" in TotK are just objectively worse versions of the older games. Smaller, less substance, less atmosphere, less rewarding. Watering something down isn't evolving it, they just clearly lacked the manpower to focus on them as much due to all the focus the rest of the games took, and that's fine for everyone that loves all the new stuff (including me!) but it's still an obvious sore spot. I'm curious which games you think nail temples the way Zelda used to.

Anyways, I'll definitely "play another game that does those" buys Echoes of Wisdom
