@harrystein Being "too easy with ideas that fall flat" has nothing to do with it being 8-bit or not. A franchise should be allowed to grow and try new things, even if they don't work out.

I lost all my save data in Violet similarly to this when my screen broke and I had to send it to Nintendo for repairs. Got my Switch back with all my save data gone, was able to redownload all my saves from NORMAL games from the cloud, except Pokemon. Full dex, box full of shinies, hours spent, gone.

This was before any of the dlc had come out and I just didn't have the motivation to replay Violet all over again. Not with how horrible it ran...until now with the massive improvements on Switch 2.

Really REALLY don't understand their logic with not allowing cloud saves when people are genning pokemon left and right regardless.

This is actually HUGE for cutting down on accumulated loading time when farming a specific cave in Ginormosia by cleaning it out, going in and out of this door to refresh the cave, and cleaning it out again.

I adored the first game on 3DS and couldn't put it down for ages back in the day. And this one, with all of it's quality of life and online features, is such an amazing improvement from the original and I find myself hooked on this one again now, too.

That's honestly so cool, hope they bring it to the western eshop too. Never read the manga

As others said, doesn't seem any worse than shooting innocent people or running over sidewalks in GTA.

Hell, GTA even has drug trips. The 3+ rating is a bit weird though.

Interesting how Doug Bowser refers to us as "our players" and Shuntaro Furukawa refers to us as "our customers".

Not a hate comment or anything, just an observation.

"Capcom recently announced it would be getting an offline version..."

If by "recently" you mean "2 months ago" than sure, lol. You all only just now caught wind of this?

@Alckemy As others have said, the offline version isn't getting microtransactions. No banners or anything. Regular characters will be available to purchase outright with zenny and the more special characters will require elemental metals. Elemental Metals are already confirmed not to be available for purchase this time around. It will all be earned in-game.

I for one am pretty excited that this game isn't just going to disappear into the digital void, even if the online version was predatory as hell (I should know, I spent far too much on this game because seeing Battle Network, X and MMZ characters given new life hit me right in my weak spot).

Strip it of all it's predatory nonsense and you have a really cool collection of old MM characters given the chance to see the spotlight again, albeit it'll probably be a really grindy experience. I'm ok with grind, though.

Money wins!! Yet another win to add to the win streak for me.

The idols never play any factor in what team I pick btw. It's just that all of my current problems and struggles would be instantly solved with money so, that's what I value most atm.

Of course I would like love as well down the line but that can wait.

This game is already going to be remembered, talked about and analyzed for years and years to come. It really doesn't need to resort to cheap nothing "giveaways" to stay relevant.

The amount of glitch snobs around here is ludicrous.

It's not simply the fact that glitches are being patched that's making everyone upset, it's the fact that they're so QUICK to do it when it's anything thay can benefit the player (in a single player game!) whereas when it comes to things that are objectively detrimental to the experience, even in multiplayer games, they're are incredibly slow to action, if they take any at all. The disparity is what's upsetting people.

Streaming on.....what now? I've never heard of this service.

Can't say I was expecting to see fetish art feature on Nintendolife today, LOL

I've finished the story and done all the shrines, so I'm taking a break. Unlike BotW (for the most part), the sidequests in TotK are actually interesting, so I do want to go back and do them eventually.

SUPER HYPED for this! Really hoping they reveal more info about how exactly the online stuff works!

@NDragon1412 Same, I have friends on both Switch and PC, and bought both games and the expansion for both, but the Switch is my main version so I'm progressing that first. Loving every second of both version but I already knew I would. Love this franchise.

@jojobar Things start ramping up noticably in MR4, at least imo. But yeah the difficulty curve is more gradual than what those of us who played previous games may be used to.

@TheFox I've always been baffled when people ship any two random characters simply because they were friendly with each other or exchanged a simple hello.

However, it's pretty obvious with Wright and Edgeworth that there are shippy vibes and that it was intentionally written to be that way. And I'm 100% here for it.

You're telling me you didn't read the line "Thanks to you, I've been saddled with unnecessary.....feelings." and it never came off as the least bit gay to you?

The comments are always a trip in these fanmade remaster articles.

Oh man good thing I didn't restart.

FINALLY. I've been waiting for this forever. This is exactly the kind of game I want to pick up and play anywhere and I just never feel as motivated to sit at a computer and do it.

A few times I was tempted to just get it on PC anyway even if I knew I wouldn't play it as much there, but I waited and now the wait has paid off.

The only thing I've wanted besides the game itself are the amiibo, but even with getting notifications from friend groups they just have been selling out way too fast for me to get ahold of any. It's frustrating.

Huh, gotta say this is the first time I've seen a game get TWO day one updates.

@suikoden Yes that's how patches work. You get all patches up to the latest one in one go.

They sure are tapping into all the good will they built up with how fantastic Hollow Knight and it's dlc was.

That being said they still haven't burned through mine! Knowing the quality Team Cherry produces, it will be worth the wait.

Jesus, the way this is phrased made me think this was finally happening for a second before finishing the rest of the title.

@BloodyMurder Alright your attitude is way too abrasive and awful for my mood rn so I'm cutting this short. Have the last word if you want, I don't care. Have a great day.

@BloodyMurder Why do you say that? I'm able to get through the levels just fine the way things are. There aren't any impossible jumps due to the lack of momentum. Everything accounts for it.

You're aware that you can slide into midair and jump from that, yes?

@BloodyMurder Oh right, that. I mean it's a bit awkward feeling, but the levels were designed with this in mind so I didn't think it was too egregious.

@BloodyMurder What's wrong with the slide jump exactly?

The Battle Network games are my favorite for the most part, but X (X1 and X4 in particular), are very nostalgic for me as well.

I actually never knew about this rocket animation. Interesting.

I don't think we really need a standalone game for that. Just bake it into the game as a side activity. More than it already is, I mean.

Make it ignorable if you want but if you want to partake in it, have an npc reward you with items and materials and armor spheres and perhaps even gems or talismans for snapping pics of certain things. It would weave into the main gameplay quite well.

World (specifically Iceborne) had something like this but I didn't do hardly any of it mostly because I could never remember the controls for using the camera, but it's made easy to do in Rise.

@Yosher Capturing ends the hunt sooner, but remember when playing online to just default to hunting and let the host decide whether to cap or not. They may be hunting for a hunt exclusive mat.

Ooh. Could always use more armorskins and demondrugs.

All Mario icons removed from the Switch profile icons list. If you already were using a Mario icon it will be replaced with another random character from the same franchise.

No no no no no no no. Making articles on a major news site highlighting these projects is the WORST idea if we ever want to see this thing completed. Nintendolife what are you doing...

I've been eagerly anticipating a BN collection for a really long time, and haven't been playing any BN stuff while I wait, but I totally understand! I'll wait a bit longer but in the meantime it's nice to see some acknowledgement, and what sounds like, pretty much confirmation that it's in the works.

I'm with the others who are wondering what "x would be a good fit for switch" even is supposed to mean. Any game would be a "good fit for switch" if it can play on a console.

And making an article about this game in particular seems....idk, random. I haven't heard anyone talk about this game or series in years.

It's such a shame Nintendo dropped support for this game so quickly. It could have been so much more relevant for so much longer. They could have brought more characters after Link, more objects, more updates. But they just......stopped, abruptly.

Lol at how offended people get over an experiment in what a game would look like with some bumped up graphics.

I had no interest in this game anyway but man this was an enjoyable read. What a teardown.

Uh, yeah. I knew this.

Wait wait wait I'm sorry what? Season 5?! I.....I honestly thought this was still in beta.

I've already played P5 but I didn't get far into P5 Royal (meaning I probably "only" played like 25 hours or so) before I had to sell my PS4 for financial reasons, so a port of P5 Royal for Switch would be amazing.

Uh, thanks? I guess?

What is this, exactly? Another add-on with like a hundred more items again?

I've enjoyed the series a lot but all these various versions of it confuse me. I believe I have Afterbirth+ on Steam but I couldn't for the life of me tell you the difference between that and the original.

I just don't understand why they couldn't sing something.....I dunno, pokemon related? For the pokemon anniversary? I don't think it's weird to expect the anniversary celebration to actually be related to what they're celebrating.

Aside from looking absolutely massive and uncomfortable to hold my arms apart that far for a long play session, the coloring is just, so so busy looking. None of this clicks with me personally.

I have no issues holding normal joycons anyway.

...you know, I never did get around to seeing the first movie.

Me, seeing this at 12:30pm EST: Oh.

@TheWingedAvenger You must be colorblind.
