The problem with the sonic boom show was it was basically a different show with a sonic template. I really liked some of the dialogue and jokes, a lot of them were very modern and witty, but it just didn’t feel like sonic and that’s the problem with the entire sonic boom franchise. Sega just let Americans run wild and I’m sure they know now that they should never ever do that again.

The bigger missed opportunity was not expanding on the sonic mania cartoons. That’s the type of sonic I want to see

@rjejr data mining already showed you would get one per week and the ones that didn’t show will take priority the next week.

@Kalmaro hated them. Half of them were ugly, they had no point other than making noise and new leaf had no type of storage system for them. The worst part was they would make digging fossils take longer, however in new horizons fossils don’t sell for as much

I think it’s fine, I just hate data mining like just leave at least some aspects of the game a mystery. That’s the whole fun of it.

With that saying julien did send me a fake painting on Tuesday. He did say he found it on the floor somewhere so I ain’t mad at em.

@JayJ that’s exactly what it is

@KayFiOS what he was saying was there’s no reason to “correct” people on thier grammar on the internet. Especially forums. It’s a waste of a post, no one cares, and you just come off like a jerk doing it. You want to DM someone about it go ahead but leave it off the board.

Please.

@mesome713 wel you also have to blame the state of retail games. If you’re not a large publisher it gets expensive to release a large amount of game worldwide. For smaller release games it ends up being produced in small numbers and scarce anyways so it’s really the same situation except here you order directly from the source.

@Yorumi they are releasing them in blind packs to make sure that 1) all cards in a set get sold 2) purchasing of cards are fair and equal for everyone
Your argument only makes sense if there was a rarity and some cards were more uncommon/rare than others but that’s not the case.

So like I said, you’ve missed the point of the cards entirely and are basically saying they should have created an amiibo figure series instead. Because that’s what you’re really asking for.

@Yorumi come on don’t get technical. The only reason people want these cards is to invite animals to thier islands. They don’t care About collecting the cards, and this is why the prices for them have skyrocketed.Don’t act like you didn’t know. Nobody wanted these cards like that while they were on the market.

Your argument makes no sense really as you’re trying to make it seem like Nintendo Is ripping people off by selling blind packs when there are no rarities within the cards and pre selling them to order. The point of blind packs is to make sure all of thier cards in a set get sold and not just the ones “people need” if that was the case they could make an amiibo figure line and be done with it, but scalpers would eat that up.

@Jayvir if you can order as many cards as you want pre sale then that should Eliminate scalping in the short term . If the pre orders were limited then yea scalpers could buy them all up.

@Yorumi like I said you pretty much have missed the point in card collecting entirely. All they are doing is re releasing an old product. Just because the cards are being used or wanted to play new horizons rather than to actually collect is not Nintendo’s problem and that wasn’t the reason they released those cards in the first place. If you wanted to pick and choose they would just release an amiibo figure line and you already know most of those won’t go into consumers hands retail.

Anyways each set is created upon a set number and wrapped, then they box them. Just because the pre order isn’t finite, doesn’t mean they are produced any differently and all buyers have a equal chance to get the card they want. There’s no rarities just larger demand for some characters.

@Yorumi see still missing the point. All cards are produced equally with exception of The foil cards, and all regular cards were distributed equally among packs. It’s not a Pokémon txt type of situation where there’s uncommon and common, they were all distributed equally. Blind packing them is the most fair way to distribute all cards. Letting you pick and choose would just mean them producing cards in an unequal manner. Other than just releasing the whole set for purchase, but that also defeats the purpose of collectible cards. And this goes for literally any type of collectible cards.

@Tsusasi dude these cards didn’t really sell well In Japan or the states. They were going for pennies at toys r us’s and local shops clearance sales in japan for a long time. It’s not really an issue of scalping because you could barely give away a lot of those cards a few years ago, it’s just the amiibo functionality in new horizons creating a supply and demand that only collectors could supply. And they took advantage. I can’t even be mad at that

@Yorumi letting people pick and choose defeats the purpose in making a full set. blind packs are the only way to efficiently make sure all the cards are evenly distributed, even tho you might have to spend more to get the character you like. keep in mind the amiibo cards originally had limited functionality and that was a secondary bonus. The main draw was collecting all of the cards. If you think of them as just new horizon invite fodder then you’re missing the point.

@Kevin_13 exactly. I hoarded tons of animal crossing cards form japan because I was getting them buy the pack for pennies and I just loved animal crossing that much. The fact that I made 880 bucks selling doubles was just mere coincidence.

They most absolutely are young and stupid because a lot of kids actually enjoy this game

@TimboSlice but your complaining about international shipping directly from a small vendor, a.k.a not a large retailer. That’s not a valid complaint.now if they were shipping from Canada and charged an arm and a leg, THAT would be a ripoff

@TimboSlice the difference between switch price and other systems is 5 bucks. Shipping is unavoidable so they’re not ripping you on that, you just live in Canada.

@SwitchForce if you keep your eye to the streets there’s always a deal. They get scooped up quick but they always show up

@Magician the limited run edition will probably end up being cheaper later and all it had was a metal case. I missed so original limited release so the signature edition has more bang for the buck. Also I’ll probably end up getting the limited run special edition off eBay later in the fall when the hype does down like I did with night trap and a few other titles I originally missed out on.

@TimboSlice it’s 5 dollars extra, and it’s due to cartridge costs. Stop acting like they are just trying to rip people off by charging more for switch titles.

@jcvandan they did that already a few years ago for tony hawk 1. Problem is music licensing is a nightmare and ruins the experience when they can’t get all the music.

@Yorumi
The point is, while unlikely, a TT'er solely jumping for bells, would need to make more jumps to make the same amount of money. How it was, you could make more money with less jumps while looking for good turnip prices which was a win win when you factor time plus effort involved. anybody could see that would probably need to be patched in some way, and Nintendo did it the easiest way they could.

the discussion was never about was this the biggest problem, or the sole problem, or was the issues handled the best way, or was it the only way they could have done it. The only thing i said in my first post was they did it because of time travelers. It wasn't because of people complaining or worrying about how other people are playing, (because i really dont care) it was literally because they saw and knew what people were doing and knew it was a problem.

Will they eventually end up patching most of the current bell exploits? probably so, so its irrelevant for you to continue point out how it has a small effect because ive told you multiple times yes it does have a small effect. however it doesn't change the fact that it was one of many issues nintendos trying to patch to fix the bell economy. Is it a little too late at this point? thats to be seen, as this is a long haul game and theres a chance all the millionaires will burn themselves out and stop playing by the time they re balance the game and new players start arriving.

@Yorumi no, it does affect time traveling, because it removes a previous benefit to doing so. The game has only been out a month and they've been slowly balancing the game ever since and they arent done. Bell interest was most likely one of those things on the list. Every small balance they make against not only player exploits AND time traveling makes a difference when you look at the big picture. in the same week interest was reduced they also made it harder to time travel and host turnip islands. These are small balance changes but these will continue. I never said them patching interest was THE problem, only one of them, and yes, a small one.

To be totally honest i still dont see how you are sitting here acting surprised at this when most big name games in this digital age have had the same type of balance tweaks and patches to prevent player exploitation beyond developer expectation. When a new game comes out and there's some type of bug glitch or exploit/cheat or unbalance, you already know its probably going to be patched within the first few months. and this is nothing new.

@Razer I still think you’re underestimating segas brands and ip’s, a lot of which aren’t actually dead

Sakura wars
Super monkey ball
Bayonetta
Shenmue
Puyopuyo
Football manager
Yakuza
Phantasy star online 2
Two point hospital
Alien isolation
The yakuza spinoff judgement
Catherine
Fist of the North Star
Valkyrie chronicles
Warhammer
Total war
Streets of rage
Panzer dragoon
Shining

These are all franchises that are alive and well for sega and are producing some quality games, and I’ve barely mentioned the atlus titles. I think you are stuck in the past about who sega is as a company right now.

@Yorumi I have already said that it’s a small fix that doesn’t have a big impact by itself but when you add that to the other things Nintendo has been patching out to make time traveling less alluring, it makes sense. Especially since they made the game with a system that they can now add and remove things a lot easier than they could with the limited functionality of the 3ds.

Also You seem to be hard pressed on assuming Nintendo is patching these things out for complainers rather than to fix a game that has broken elements that ruin the experience and purpose of a game they developed. I think that’s an oversight on your part.

@Yorumi what can’t you understand about it’s a game exploit which allows someone to play the game in a way not intended by the devs. That’s the problem. How many times do I have to clearly explain it. Time travelers can use the interest to make easy money without doing anything and that is a problem. Single players who aren’t time traveling are collateral damage and for that, you have time travelers to thank. I’m really not understanding how you can’t comprehend this.

The issue is you don’t see this as a problem because you feel it hurts no one and that is a YOU problem. It doesn’t change the reality of the situation and why Nintendo chose to patch it out.

@Yorumi what you don’t seem to understand is that time traveling and collecting atm depsosits at the previous Rate was exploitation of the system, in which the devs did not intend, so they patched it. I get it, you don’t see it as an exploit but it is, and Nintendo patched it. And exploit = problem. does that patch have negative impact on non time travelers, sure, but it doesn’t change the fact that players were using it as one of the ways to get easy cash and cheat the system, Which in itself is a problem.

Just because you don’t see game exploits as problems doesn’t Mean they aren’t. Everything else you were saying is irrelevant.

@Yorumi I’ve told you the problem was it was too exploitable for easy money by time traveling. You keep saying it isnt big enough of a problem to merit it being changed and I keep telling you it was a small problem being addressed with bigger issues. That’s it. Like I’m really not sure why you keep acting like I haven’t clearly stated my point multiple times.

If Nintendo clearly sees an exploit and patches it, I don’t see a problem with that, that’s their prerogative. There’s literally nothing wrong with that.

@Yorumi you seem to keep spinning the truth to fit your “play the way I want it’s not hurting anyone” perception, but the truth is if Nintendo didn’t see a problem they wouldn’t have changed it. I agree it’s a small problem and won’t fundamentally change TT’ing but it’s one of those changes that was going to be made on top of all the other changes that they are and will be making. Any smart person can see that Nintendo IS seeing a problem with the way a lot of players are exploiting the system, or in your mind “not hurting anyone playing the game how they want” And they are changing things. It’s not because of people complaining it’s because they see some things they don’t want people doing.

Like I said you can blame TT’ing for most of the changes made, but don’t hate me, it’s Nintendo making the changes, I really don’t care either way you can do whatever you want until Nintendo patches the “fun” out of it.

@Yorumi you can call it a “specific play style” but Really it’s exploitation of the system, and that’s still a Problem and Nintendo changed it. It doesn’t matter what it’s affecting Nintendo felt they needed to patch a lot of time traveling perks out and this was one of them. I don’t know what else to tell you, you’re ok with exploiting the game and Nintendo isn’t. That’s the bottom line. No need to keep spinning it.

And you’re right normal players are being hurt as well as time travelers, but guess who we have to blame for it eh?

@PickledKong64 if you have a problem with money you just might not be good at the game. Stop assuming people play “4 hours straight” just because you aren’t good at it. Play the stalk market on sundays, line up all your foreign fruits trees in one corner and sell them every few days, plant your 30k trees everyday and sell your 4-5 fossils among other dailies that take only a few mins.

@Luigi_Skywalker I’m sure time travel nerfs are coming. They already nerfed how people time travel for turnip prices

@NookMiler this is probably one of the best explanations. People don’t understand people time traveling and breaking the game, then cyber flexing online still has an impact on everyone else. Because of them they nintendo is nerfing things left and right. By the end of May it’s going to be much harder for both time travelers and regular players and we only have them to thank.

No, I’m explaining why Nintendo Is nerfing things the way they are, because it was too open to exploitation. That’s why the wildlife spawn rate is also down heavily. They don’t want players getting easy money and running through the game in a couple of weeks and getting bored.

This is obvious but you keep acting like there’s no problem at all. You may not agree but a lot of people and Nintendo think otherwise. Like I said don’t blame the messenger.

@Yorumi the problem was the interest rate was too high, and it made it an easy source of money if you time travel. Nintendo lowered it in an attempt to curb time travel somewhat. That is all. Is it a problem to you? Maybe not but time traveling isn’t a focus of the game and that’s why they did it. Is it a small problem and didn’t really have a huge impact on the game or time traveling? Sure, but doesn’t change the fact that it was a problem. Other big problems are being weeded out slowly it seems. Time traveling for high turnip selling prices have been nerfed to where it now takes more effort and you have a smaller time window to keep those prices so you can expect a lot more anti time traveling patches in the future. Don’t hate the messenger, that’s just what’s going on.

@PickledKong64 there are more ways to get money in this game so it’s not surprising they upped the price of SOME items. Like you’re literally complaining about a small portion of items. Stop.

@Razer I don’t think you know segas ip Library. It’s huge and nothing to scoff at. Just the Atlus catalogue is worth enough and if you can’t think of a game yourself, remember, sega owns bayonetta.

@Zenszulu 2K games was killing ea sports so bad EA actually bought out the market because they couldn’t compete, which is why 2K couldn’t make any more collegiate and mlb/nfl sports titles.the NBA was the only league that didn’t take the deal hence nba 2K destroying live for the past 15 years. It wasn’t that the market couldn’t handle multiple games, it was that live has just been that bad until like a year ago.

Now That may change, since the nfl granted 2K a non simulation football license and may possibly not renew ea’s license if it sells. Maybe

@rdm22 there’s a sizeable niche to re create existing hardware. They were on to something with the 1:1 Saturn controllers, if they were to start re producing dream casts and saturns in decent numbers (because a lot of the optical drives are biting the dust) they would definitely Sell out quickly. I would buy two of each and I know plenty More that would.

On another note I make it a habit to purchase any sega merchandise from japan I can get my hands on. They also sell out moderately fast.

@Yorumi that’s where you’re wrong. They were using this to make money. I was literally watching a guy time traveling on A random stream (recorded because it was YouTube) and he was time traveling trying to find random things and jumped one time and made 2 mil upon looking in his mailbox, he then said he was starting up Bell services and to hit him up on discord. I wish I had it in my YouTube history but I only saw it randomly on auto play while looking for fishing videos.

The thing is it was a problem, the rate was too high, and they fixed it. just because it wasn’t a big enough problem TO YOU doesn’t mean it isn’t one.

@Yorumi I’ve never whined about time travelers, I even said in my last who am I to judge, I’m just saying exactly why Nintendo decided to make that change. They saw the obvious and fixed it. Me stating a obvious problem doesn’t make it whining just because you’re ok with that problem. If anything you are whining because you think it’s not a problem when obviously, it was. Remember, I wasn’t the one @‘ing anyone, it was you.

@Jiloo you’re right. I get it, people have this “I want it now” mentality and they think it’s “I wanna play how I want” but really they’re just ruining the whole point of the game for themselves, but if that’s what they wanna say to themselves to justify it who am I to really judge I guess 🤷

@PickledKong64 “I also played new leaf idiot”
This is name calling. So not only did you forget the last animal crossing wasn’t that far off price wise from new horizons you also don’t remember what name calling means.

You hate to see it

@PickledKong64 at the end of the day you can blame time travelers and people doing shenanigans online for why you can’t exactly play how you want. I’m sure Nintendo will be adding more restrictions and changing things as the months go on. But anyways, good job resorting to name calling because you didn’t remember leaf was just expensive as new horizons, and even more so in some aspects. Either way there’s more opportunities to get money in new horizons(tree spawns every day, higher Bell ballon rate, 2x bel diy items) so it doesn’t really matter the price of items.

@PickledKong64 maxing our your house was cheaper in new horizons than new leaf so you may want to brush up on When you last played animal crossing

@Yorumi you keep making the assumption I’ve said this was a huge problem or the main problem. It was one of the problems and they fixed it. And easy fix that anyone could have seen coming at that. I’m sure they may change some other features later but this is what they did now. It being a minor change doesn’t mean it wasn’t still somewhat necessary

@Yorumi yes, It was ONE OF the problems, and they addressed it. Everything you mentioned takes longer than time traveling interest.

@PickledKong64 they have to care because of the games expanded features. Time tracking for bells was just way too easy and people were literally spamming sites and discord’s and eBay listing trying to sell newbies those I’ll gotten bells. Sure there’s ways around interest time traveling but at least those take longer to do and require a bit more time investment.

Also everything’s expensive because it’s supposed to be a game that you play for a long time, like years. If they made everything cheap players would be done in a week and be complaining for a new game.

You know the games a smash hit when people are popping in trying to ruin people’s fun and troll fans. Because the game was huge before and not a peep from news outlets.
