Re: Social Media Bands Together To Show Pokémon Studio Game Freak Some Love

Tantani

Pokémon is an amazing series, but this is the first time I am not exited at all to a new generation, when I saw the game for the first time, I was over the roof, the wild area looked amazing, the dynamax looked cool, and the new Pokémon looked great, but then I started to see what it all cost, the dex, the mega, the Z.... and so many other features.... when the leaks came and flooded the internet and I learnt how bad the dexit really is and it felt like a punch in the face from game freak, worse than the “battle frontier Project a Has began” in ORAS

if I pay 60$ for the first ever Pokémon Game on a home console, I want the full experience of Pokémon, not half of it like it seems that we will get.... this is the priciest main line Pokémon game ever, so it should be the biggest and best one!

Remember that they just filled bankruptcy

A company can come back from such a thing, and the story actually pushed some fans to buy copies of their games that they didn’t own yet to try and save the company, I am sure it wasn’t nearly enough but it might have help them slightly

If they worked on this game as well, they will get part of the money from sales (if they have percentage contract, if not it is different situation)

I still hope that Nintendo will just pick them up, 4 million dollars in debt means Nintendo can buy the debt for less than 4 million and actually acquiring the whole studio for another few millions (if not lees), that is basically getting a good studio for free

Nintendo should imo just pick them and Grasshopper manufacturers up and few others Small/medium sized talented studios with good IPs

Re: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Becomes The Best-Selling Entry In The Series

Tantani

@Daldra I know it might sound crazy, but this thing very well might be at 18 million or more by the next report
It sold about a million since last report and we are heading towards the holiday season with Pokémon and Luigi’s mansion and the switch lite to push sales (along other things)

Many will pick up smash as a second game for their new switch

Anyway, so now Smash Ultimate took the crown as the best selling fighting game of all time

Re: The Pokémon Company Issues A Statement About The Number Of Gyms In Sword And Shield

Tantani

@Baker1000 you are right at core, but 18 gyms, although very hype make no sense in term of playability

The maximum lvl in Pokémon is 100
18 gyms+ 1 or 2 league challenge means means we will have 19 or 20 big challenges which means we need to have a gym every about 5 lvl

I think the extra 10 gyms should be Battle Frontier style and be a challenge with set lvl and special challenge and if you complete all ten you can unlock another facility which will be the “minor League” witch will another huge facility with a special challenge

Re: Mario & Luigi RPG Dev AlphaDream Files For Bankruptcy

This is sad to hear, they have some talent and successes over the years and the their M&L bowser inside story remake was a solid game that didn’t succeed probably duo to the decline of the 3ds sales

They are an average size studio with a lot of support for Nintendo and their debt is quite small in big cooperation numbers
Nintendo should buy their debt (which usually cost much less than the debt itself) and add them to their studios, considering Sony and Microsoft are gearing up for next generation, Nintendo should probably do some of their own picking and this can be a cheap way to buy a talented studio that will easily earn its investment back
