Hope they bring back physical games then.

Inb4 Nintendo sues him for impersonating Mario's mustache.

But that's just a joke, right?

Because the Nintendo Switch is still in continuation, any "emulation" of it would be considered piracy. Just wait until the Switch's life time is over, then you can do what you want.

Emulation is for preservation of games and consoles that came out decades ago, not for something that is still available.
It doesn't matter if the console's hardware is easy to hack, it's still piracy. Nintendo is well within it's rights to shut Ryujinx down. Case closed.

Calling it now! In the next decade, AI generated Pokemon!

Hmm.. if they're announcing Christmas bundles now, it seems unlikely Nintendo would reveal the Switch 2 until next year. Otherwise it would hurt their sales.

The "Game Awards" is as corrupted as the Oscars.

Paid to Win.

If Nintendo is suing because they think they own the "RPG monster-collecting genre", Dragon Quest would like a word.

In fact, Game Freak was inspired by Dragon Quest to make Pokemon!

The only reason why Nintendo is suing them now instead of earlier is because the game became popular, made millions, and sort of resembles the Pokemon characters.

This will be an entertaining lawsuit.

Whenever a Pokemon Rom Hack is featured on this Nintendo fan site, certain Nintendo ninjas are later released.

Coincidence?

This can only mean the GBA games will get a physical sometime in the future as well. Definitely going to get this for the special card inside!

Thanks for reminding me how old I am

Knocking off 1 point for... a joke?

The real joke is the review

I don't know why this is instant news all of a sudden.

This rumor dated back a year or more that the 'Switch 2' will be backwards compatible. This is just a hype post.

Nice!

Can't wait to make a special trip from the US to Australia just for these toys!

How terrifying..

Especially the blocky animals!

This guy knows he made a massive flop but rejects anykind failure because of his ego, so he'll say anything exaggerated for publicity sake.

The best thing any sane person is to do is to ignore this troll.

This is after the CEO of Amazon Games had said "Voice Actors are not real actors", when implementing AI generated stuff into their games.

Pass.

It's the best game to play while we wait for Silksong

They have to still sell Funko Pops and give them meaning somehow

@DotNet I feel as though someone who defends AI by writing a convincing comment is also using ChatGPT to "assist" with their argument in order to make a point.

These types of people have zero critical thinking skills or creativity and have to rely on artificial "intelligence" to speak on their behalf or generating art for them, while having the audacity for them to call it "My Art".

@DotNet Found the boot-licking bot.

I think it's a generation thing.
Kids today have no idea what art is, aside from AI generated art.

For us older folks who appreciate art, it's amazing that a person made all this themself and not some soulless bot.

As long as the 'Switch 2' can play anything around 60 fps and not under, I won't complain.

For a moment I initially thought it was Nintendo themselves who jailed this fan.

Not only did Nintendo thought this wasn't possible, but also expect their DMCA ninjas to appear to purge this abomination!

/s

It's like calling 'Fortnite' retro.

The word 'Retro' has lost all meaning in the gaming culture.
It was originally meant for something nostalgic that came out 20 or 30 years ago.
The Gamecube fits this title, but Shovel Knight does not.
In another 10 years he will finally earn that title.

To no surprise of anyone.
Any contest involving art or writing in 2024 will most likely be AI generated. Tis a shame.

I've never played the original Dragon Quest games even though I grew up during that era. Pokemon was just more fun for me and therefore any opinions I have are biased.

Recently I tried playing through the first three, but couldn't play for long because of the dated visuals.
These HD remakes makes the gameplay look much more bearable and engaging, I might try these games again.

It's so tempting, but I'll probably get this as a collectors item rather than play it.

I'm thinking Nintendo is not just protecting their IP anymore.
They're on a power trip and they know no one and nothing will stop them.

Wouldn't be surprised if they targeted Lego fan models next.

Yay! Now I can play all the shovelware games onto the Switch 2!

It's weird waiting years for an indie game to get a physical release, but it pays off when it actually happens.

It's unlikely but I'm still waiting for physical copies of 'Everhood' and 'Steve Jackson's Sorcery' which I hope will release sometime before the end of the Switch's lifetime.

Another tip: Don't buy Pokemon cards from people who used to be 'bank robbers'. I'm shocked I tell you, shocked!

Just as I thought would happen. But since there's hardly any big game forecast for their current console this year, it's possible their trying to build up hype for their next successor, which shouldn't be hard.

Finally! This is exciting news.

Bring on the leaks!

@CodyDogg Sorry, I have no idea. I would say contact their customer support but even my questions have gone ignored.

@HandheldHaunter Only First Press Games would do that.

Nintendo is definitely going to win the hearts of the public by issuing out DMCA to a decades old sandbox game that can still run on my Windows 7 laptop.

We can't even use Nintendo's characters which we can simply port into the game of own will? What's next, banning GIFs?

This type of draconian activity will only leave a bad taste in people's mouths who are not familiar with the greatness of our lord and savior, Nintendo, and will only encourage people to continue pirating their stuff. Color me shocked.

Limited Run Games has gotten a little better (although still debatable) as they've started posting an estimated ship date.

The only place to stay away from is 'First Press Games'.
You'll wait years before you receive your order.

I wouldn't have it any other way.

Only a 3 year lifespan?
Even Netflix on the 3DS lasted much longer than this!

The Pokemon company is really sending the message that they don't care about the fans or the community, only their IP, and it'll only hurt them more.

I for one enjoy Pokemon rom hacks, as I grew up in the GBA era, and some of them are even better than the main releases for the Switch.

Banning "community forums" isn't going to change my mind or respect them any more.

When Peter Jackson was making 'The Lord of the Rings' trilogy, there was similar opinion due to his previous film history (Heavenly Creatures, The Frighteners).
People assumed it would bomb, but it did not and happened to be one of the best films ever made.

I don't know much about this no name director, but when it all comes down to it we'll just have to wait and see.

Sure, and in the next few years after the Switch 2 is released and the old one is discontinued, these same people will start saying that the original Switch is now "retro".

Good thing most of us got the physical game when it came out. Another point why physical media is important!

I'm good with the delay. This way there'll be more time for devs to make new games for the next console.

Meanwhile.. bring on the leaks!
