I'm actually quite happy BDSP is doing better than Pokemon Sword & Shield, as there is a lot more heart that's gone into BDSP.
It took me a while to get used all Pokemon not being around, but in the end it made sense. Sword & Shield to me, is a very rushed bland game (Ignoring the exclusion of megas). The game had so many issues and inconsistencies with animations. No voice actors in parts that really needed it and more. I see very little heart put into the game, which I really blame TPC for rushing Game Freak.
When I look at BDSP, I can see heart put into it. Using the chibi artstyle to mimic the feel of the original Pokemon Diamond and pearl games was very clever.
I was a bit disappointed about the exclusion of mega evolutions, especially since some Pokemon NEEDED it. Overall though, it's seems like a really good remake that I can't wait to play.
I'm sure updates will come to add in more content.
Why are people still throwing tomatoes at @GetShulk for pointing out what is technically true? Whether it's true or not that GameFreak created new models for the Pokemon, does not change the fact that the Pokemon in S&S look AND move exactly the same to Pokemon Sun and Moon(With Pokemon in S&S looking better of course). Why create models from scratch if you're going to animate them the exact same way as the previous game?
I get that not everyone wants to hear the cons of the game all the time, but claiming that none of these issues are major makes no sense. Imagine Nintendo removing a headphone jack and gave the excuse that there's too much components.
I agree that you shouldn't let someone ruin the fun of the game if you want to buy it(I might even buy it).
I know what i'm going to say is probably completely off-topic, but looking at that Paper Mario picture kinda justs reminds me of how much Nintendo messed the Paper Mario series. Thinking that replacing stickers with cards removes the problem, taking exp out of a RPG, I mean COME ON. I'm not even a huge fan of the series(in fact my first Paper Mario game was Sticker Star),but it pains me, a least a little, knowing that the last two Paper Mario games were not NEARLY as good as it should've been. I can just imagine how all the die-hard fans must be feeling up till today. I've actually enjoyed Sticker Star and Colour Splash(ESPECIALLY the dialogue), but knowing what the series once was, it's hard not to feel angry when looking at this game. I hope Nintendo will quenche the thirst of the hardcore Paper Mario fans with a remake of Paper Mario And The Thousand Year Door(I think that's what it's called), or a brand new Paper Mario game.
@MagicEmperor I used to struggle with Corrin initially. Her LONG range would catch off-guard almost every time. But with Luigi, she's almost combo-foodXD She still gets on my nerves though:/
She can be so tricky to fight against(especially technical peach mains). A lot of Peach mains like to jump then quickly fall to the ground(I think it has a name, but can't recall) deceiving you that she would use an aerial, but then quickly goes for a grab or some other attack.
I find her the most pressurizing character in the game both on shield AND mentally. Look at Samsora, possibly the best Peach player out there. He'd be a nightmare to fight against.
To top it all off, she has THE most annoying victory animation in the game..to me at least>
Anyway, it would be nice to see her in one of these next trailers:) Even if she doesn't lose a "1-UP"
Seeing Luigi in the Castlevania universe, facing all those monsters was surprising. While I admit the trailer was a WEE BIT frightening, the scene where Luigi gets slashed wasn't out of place. Almost all the scenes with Luigi were slightly serious, but clearly cartoonish(Luigi had some cartoonish cutscenes in the Luigi Mansion Series). Even Luigi getting striked had sprinkles of sillyness.
From the comments i've seen on Youtube about this, it's mostly taken as some kind of joke(like what happened to Mega Man and Mario).
@Knuckles Oh yeah, to be honest, I haven't even played Sonic Mania Plus yet(I do have the game). I've just been busy with the other new games I got:) Sorry Knuckles:/
You've always been my favourite Sonic character...don't tell Sonic though:/
I know this is a little off-topic, but imagine a guy who got Splatoon 1 since day 1 and entered every single Splatfest(Including Splatfests from Splatoon 2), but never really winning any of themX)
Mario kart 8 is mostly perfect, so Mario Kart 9 is not needed.Mario Kart 8 just needs some balancing updates like, reduce the chances of getting coins in 1st place and remove the chance of getting a stinkin' red shell at 8th place and lower:/
Mario Kart 9 should release just on the next Nintendo console(which would be on next handheld console).

Re: Random: Relax You Guys, Luigi's Not Dead - He's Just 'Resting His Eyes'
@flapjack-ashley It's weird to say, but I was pleasantly surprised when I saw that scene with Luigi.
It's cool to see your favourite characters go all-out/get beaten in an intense fight(ESPECIALLY IN THEEEESSSSSE CINEMATIC ANIMATIONS).
Hopefully Peach is next...she's so annoying to fight against:/
Re: Random: Relax You Guys, Luigi's Not Dead - He's Just 'Resting His Eyes'
@NEStalgia Lol, yeahXD

Re: Multiple Cheat Codes For Sonic Mania Have Been Discovered
I had no idea Sonic Mania had cheat codes.
It sure reminds me of the days when I used to play the GBA and trying to figure out the cheats codes my selfX)
Yeah anyway, i'll be trying them out:)

Re: Nintendo UK Is Asking For As Much As £180 To Repair Cracked Switch Consoles
I wonder how common this issue is in other countries? Hopefully at some point, there will be an official survey on how widespread this problem is.
However, even if we did get the numbers, we wouldn't know the people who actually got cracked switches from the dock or from some other thing.

Re: Mario & Luigi Developer AlphaDream Recruiting Graphic Designers For Switch And Smartphone Projects
I look forward to the Mario & Luigi rpg series being on the Switch.
Ever since M&L left pixel graphics,it began to lose its charm.(at least to me).
Although I really enjoyed M&L Dream Team and their most recent M&L game.
I hope it can recapture the appeal it once had...

Re: Super Mario Party Will Feature Online Play With Friends, But Only For Minigames

They deserve points for the attempt.
