@Blizzia 1) bro, every model and movement is exactly the same as sun and moon, look on the many 1v1 comparison on YouTube
2)just look on the Zelda games from the god damm GameCube, anyway I talked about XC2
3)I expect them to look alive and even engage with each other.... but this is not a big concern to me, just a missed opportunity
4)they are swimming in money, they could easily hire more devs or suspending Town for a while and complete the Pokémon project the right way in time
5) the only time they “reversed” the battle system was from gen 6 to 7 with them taking out the option of triple/rotation battle Other than that, they never changed the battle system back from what it was
@Blizzia Most of the assents were just ported from the 3ds (although we are lied about that it isn’t and everything is from the ground up) The open area aspect look ok although the graphics are comparable to Wii games instead of being on the lvl of BOTW or XC2 graphically
The Pokémon in the open are are just walking around aimlessly
They are claiming to “not have enough time” to bring the all the Pokémon when it is actually a decision that was taken at the start of development of the game to save money on development (oh no, more money on development for a game that cost less than 50 million to create and earn 600 million at bare minimum), if they really didn’t have time they should have brought more developers to help on the project
They took away mega and z-moves which made them from fighting elements to timed gimmicks And so on
I am pretty hyped for the game regardless but I am really annoyed with their lies and disrespect towards the audience who buy their games Considering how much money Pokémon is making, it won’t be a problem for game freak (who get money for every Pokémon merchandise and game that is being sold and anything Pokémon that makes money) to build more teams to work on Pokémon or at least expend the current team to give a game in the lvl we deserve, while this game look almost like a port from the 3ds to the Switch with updated graphics and an added element of open world in certain parts....
@Blizzia a) they always had 2 teams but like most studios they have their “A team” the team with the developers with the more experience developers and with the more resources from the studio And the “B team” the younger less experienced developers Usually the A team work on a new generation of Pokémon while the B team working on the side project, the B team than take the new generation game game and do a rather quick upgraded version using the same assents as before This time the A team worked on the side project and the B team worked on the new generation of Pokémon
And you can easily feel the lack of experience and even efforts on the games (at least from what we saw on the trailers) The project was to big for the B team to handle
They should have pushed Town to a later date and give us a god damm AAA Pokémon title with every Pokémon in it and every big battle feature that the series had (including Mega and Z-moves) as options and more, they are swimming in resources and it is not exactly the biggest game ever made, they should have brought enough people to finish the game
@sanderev Idk, it didn’t have nearly as much effect 2 weeks ago or last week when MH was released
Zelda numbers are pretty good, but not as good as monster hunter release, but it is understandable+ it is without considering the digital number, should be a couple of millions copies world wide by now
@SBandy the lite combined sales sold on it first day on shelves better than the regular switch did the whole week in the USA, that’s all I know (and the switch selling amazingly there
If they don’t want to continue the franchise, the best course of action is making a “celeste maker” contains all the assent you used and than leave the franchise
@KBuckley27 I wouldn’t be sure of that.... For once, Nintendo actually have a big install base in the UK+ those games are will be in their second/third week of sales while Zelda will be fresh
Anyway, Zelda pre-order currently crushing in sales every other game in Amazon USA+ the switch lite coming out at the same day and many will buy those 2 together so reason for it not to take the charts
Anyway, Zelda is a much bigger franchise than Gears and now I don’t believe DS will be as successful as I originally thought
Astral chain is doing pretty good for itself, DXM.... not so much, after I will beat Astral Chain.... and BOTW DLC.... and Pokémon.... and couple of other games and clean out my backlog, I might pick it up, but I don’t have time for it now But the prototype mission was cool
I wonder what’s up with all those crossovers.... the fact that it only comes for the Nintendo switch version is interesting, does Nintendo has any big plans for Toby fox? Maybe they are looking to hire him? (Sans in smash, Toby help with the music of “Town” and now this....)
@Sandro89 @RareFan Bayonetta really almost been cancelled for an unknown reason but the first game was among the best hack and slash games I saw and Bayonetta 2 was even better, it’s only problem was being released only on the Wii U that didn’t give it a chance to sell to well, I am hyped for Bayonetta 3!!!!
With this Thing, like Labo, Nintendo is trying to set the switch apart from every other gaming experience
In this case they are trying to capture the Wii audience and with an aggressive marketing they can do this
Idk if i will buy this myself, but it is a very cool concept and kind of inventing a whole new genre, I hope they will bring more games to that thing, and maybe give us a proper headset for VR and connect this ring and strap with a vr games, it will open a whole new world for the VR and the headset will be one of the best selling headset around easily as it will be stronger and cheaper than the oculus quest, and wouldn’t require wires like the PSVR, will have the Nintendo name and games and all the vr developers would be able to transfer their games to the switch
I believe they will keep on adding a total of 2-4 games a month on the 2 libraries combined which is ok pace.... I really hope they won’t do something stupid like waiting entire months without any new games
I like how they keep on finding new ways to use the Joy con If we only had a proper VR headset+ a bit more powerful version of the switch and few more features and it might just be the most versatile game console ever made (if it is not that already)
@Retron might be, best selling game in many territories, best selling in Amazon for a while and still very high at the gaming charts, best selling or second best selling in most territories on the eshop.....
Astral chain was first place by a huge margin if it was to release on the 29th instead of the 30th
This game that took number one is.... weird The software sales doesn’t really reflect the hardware sales which is odd.... were is Zelda BOTW and Mario odyssey?!

@RadioHedgeFund it is not the the dex as much as the “reason” for that....
Re: Pokémon Sword And Shield Will Have An Autosave Function, But You Can Turn It Off
@NIN10DOXD the way the switch itself work allow you to have up to 8 save files no matter the game (more if the game itself allow several save files)

@Agramonte cool, thanks
Re: Metacritic Review-Bombers Strike Again With FIFA 20 On Switch
@Alztru the last time you could justify giving them money was “Battlefield 4” or “a way out”.... since then they had nothing good
Re: Metacritic Review-Bombers Strike Again With FIFA 20 On Switch
@Agramonte which year?
Re: Metacritic Review-Bombers Strike Again With FIFA 20 On Switch
It is not review bombing, they are legit reviews
EA themselves said it is the same game from 2019 with 2020 players as it is “legacy edition” 🤮
Anyway, the “real reviewers” gave it a 44 so far

Re: Switch Lite Added To Joy-Con Drift Class Action Lawsuit
They only were few defective switch lite systems (which always happens with mass production), why do people do so much noise about it.....
Re: Video: Game Freak Introduces The Characters Of Little Town Hero
@Blizzia
Most of the assents were just ported from the 3ds (although we are lied about that it isn’t and everything is from the ground up)
The open area aspect look ok although the graphics are comparable to Wii games instead of being on the lvl of BOTW or XC2 graphically

And you can easily feel the lack of experience and even efforts on the games (at least from what we saw on the trailers)
The project was to big for the B team to handle

Re: Video: Game Freak Introduces The Characters Of Little Town Hero
This game better be 9.5/10 for hurting the game that was supposed to be the best Pokémon game to ever exist
Re: Bloodstained Switch Updates Expected To Launch By The End Of November
It is good they are fixing it, but they owe Switch players now big time and need to bring us something to repay us
Re: Australian Rating Could Mean We're Getting GTA III On Switch
The switch can handle GTA 5 easily (as it is originally a ps3/Xbox 360 game) so why not giving us that?!

Re: Japanese Nintendo Switch Online Subscribers Will Face Increased Renewal Prices
@ReaperExTenebris bro, read the article
Nintendo didn’t do anything wrong
The taxes went up, not the basic price
Re: Japanese Nintendo Switch Online Subscribers Will Face Increased Renewal Prices
@thesilverbrick only taxes increased, not really Nintendo fault
(2400/108)*110= 2444.444 which is about the new price so it is only tax difference
