Honestly, just check if your phone is strong enough to run Dolphin and grab a wireless controller and a phone clip. If you have a Wii you can hack it and copy the game data from Gamecube+Wii discs and run them in Dolphin emulator and bypass $200+ for Fire Emblem Path of Radiance and waiting on Nintendo to put it on an expensive, piss poor emulation service.

I waited 9 years for Pikmin 3. I've resigned to the fact that Pikmin is a once in a decade release, if we're lucky.

You just have to understand, Pikmin is so low on the priority list for Nintendo, that if Miyamoto isn't actively pushing for it, it's probably not getting made. And Miyamoto is most likely preoccupied with theme parks and movies, so it may still be years and years before we see another Pikmin, or 3 may have been the last one for all we know.

Nintendo- Scalper's best friend

Nin- "we don't want free advertisement or lively fan communities and will show such blatant contempt towards our fans that it's a wonder why they still buy our hardware" -tendo

This would go nicely with my Rowlett coffee cup.

No I don't have an obsession.

Wasn't Sonic Unleashed an experiment in this direction?

>expecting praise for not putting obscene gross awkward scenes in their games

Yeah that should just be the default, you don't get praise for that. How about not trying to reinvent 3D Sonic with every entry? How about taking a style that works (Boost Sonic or Adventure Sonic) and really just focus on developing that style without any goofy, gimicky stuff?

How about disbanding Sonic Team and letting another studio work on a 3D Sonic for change? Sonic Team isn't even the same people that brought us Adventure or the classics, why keep this farce going?

I will literally buy an Xbox if this is real.

My wallet feels safe, though.

Please just sell the IP and break up Sonic Team already.

Here's my pessimistic prediction: Metroid Prime 4 and Retro Studios are in development hell and the studio will soon close along with the cancelled Prime 4.

Pikmin 4 will not release on Nintendo Switch given we already got Pikmin 3 Deluxe. Nintendo probably even fought against putting resources into porting it to Switch. I don't think the higher ups want to commit resources to what is essentially Miyamoto's obscure pet project, so it gets put on the back burner, and Miyamoto himself is busy with theme parks and movies.

We might get a Pikmin animation, but no games for the foreseeable future. I wish Pikmin was bigger, but it's unfortunately very, very niche.

Yeah and the brave attempt at game preservation (which Nintendo so callously refers to as "hacking") is the direct cause of Nintendo's anti-consumer policies and contempt for their loyal fanbase.

I pour one out for Gary Bowser, and for everybody continuing the good fight.

Back up your copies lads, make sure Nintendo can't hoard their legacy content and don't let Bowser's sacrifice be in vain.

The term "wholesome" has been so completely corrupted, if I ever see something described as "wholesome" I'll know to give it a pass.

You should all try the demo for Frogun, it's very fun and very cute.

@SteamEngenius Yeah it's called advertising lmao

They want as many eyes on their game commercials as possible. These are not people that enjoy video games like we do, it's all business and commercialism and focus tested advertisement.

@quinnyboy58 Easy, expect nothing new to be announced besides maybe a Bandai Namco crossover fighter, another anime game and a few highly promoted cinematic movie games and you'll be fine.

If the biggest thing you're expecting to be announced is another Forza than your expectations are below dinosaur bones.

All the regular Pokemon so far look like Pokemon to me and are very nice.

The legendaries seem over-designed to me and like something out of a Pokemon imitation series.

Actually, the idea of re-releasing a console with more energy efficient modern hardware that's HDMI compatible, can play original media with better optical drives for all the releases that would be difficult to include due to copyright, uses flash memory instead of memory cards sounds pretty neat.

If they released a Dreamcast with the hits pre-installed, an optical drive to play the rest (or an easily hackable OS lmao) I'd jump on that even if it was a few hundred bucks.

>Resurrecting Crash just to kill him a second time

Whoah...

It's strange to me that some people would rather engage with an idealized, filtered form of the elderly rather than spending real time with real elderly to gain their wisdom and enjoy their company.

That's what strikes me as so bizarre about this idea of using games to "train people for empathy". No video game, movie or book can truly replicate the complexities, problems and joys of a real human being that's been around for decades longer than any of us.

Ultimately if this sort of thing really does inspire youngins' to spend time with/and really listen to what the elderly have to say it will be a positive thing. But we need to be careful not to think we can replace real human engagement with something artificial and entertainment focused and possibly ideologically influenced.

Hmm, I still need to see a bit more, like forced EXP Share, subpar animations/visuals, postgame content, whether or not the multiplayer takes away from the singleplayer experience and how easy it is.

Heartgold/Soulsilver, Black/White and OR/AS has raised by bar. I still haven't bought any Pokemon this generation besides BDSP out of nostalgia.

I wouldn't be surprised if they ditch the June Direct since there's no E3 (I don't think it makes sense, but this is Nintendo).

They've already got their major releases for the year announced (Xenoblade 3, Splatoon 3, Mario Sports Game and new Pokemon) what major title can they announce and squeeze in for the year?

They can easily save a direct for the Fall or Winter or even push it to February to talk about 2023 stuff. This is the end stretch of the console's lifespan, they're probably investing more time and energy for the next console.

I wouldn't be surprised if this is the last year we get plenty of titles.

>graphics don't look horrible and cheap

>so far really cute pokemon designes minus the motorbike legendaries

>interesting theme

>U.I isn't obnoxious

Bros, is this going to be a decent Pokemon game???

I really, REALLY hope they don't have the EXP Share permanent applied again, that was absolute trash.

I'm not expecting another Black/White but if it's at least as good as Diamond/Pearl I'll be buying a Pokemon game for the first time this generation.

Futurism creeps me out, I'll be getting Scarlet

I wonder if the Futuristic professor wants us to insert tracking chips in all of our pokemon so we can track their biometric data through our Pokedex and let corporations harvest data

It's going to look good but be mediocre when it comes out. If you're a Sonic fan that gets every release you'll probably enjoy it, but I think that's the only demographic they can sell these Sonic games to at this point.

@JackMcCloud Yeah, I think the first game in this Startle genre that I played was probably Slenderman lmao

It really puts a damper on playing something like Outlast because I'm just waiting for the next startle instead of soaking up the atmosphere and pondering the story like in Silent Hill.

So another roller coaster jumpscare ride?

Do people really enjoy these?

@Park_Triolo Exactly, it's very weird how many people are willing to erase their culture for consumerism.

Put E. Gadd on the field you cowards.

@HeadPirate Yeah it's really interesting to see a relatively new IP from Nintendo fly so high so quickly, especially since it started on a failed console.

What is it, a consequence of Switch hype? Incredibly coherent realized world? The fact that it's multiplayer?

Maybe a little of everything, but I'm glad I gave Splatoon 2 a chance a few years ago. I'm ready to see how many people get on board after the success of the last one.

@Grim Same. The Switch is providing a very cool niche in the industry for preserving old disk games on cartridges which presumably will last longer and a system that can function with or without a TV.

Cringe, evil, no thanks

Another L for Nintendo, another W for Tetra's crew if you catch my drift

>Game Grumps
>Narrative driven

Is Arin involved in this? If so that's hilarious and I can't wait for people to rip into it

I'm glad Celtic culture is getting more spotlight, it's quite overshadowed by Norse but I love all Germanic/Celtic mythology and culture so the more the merrier.

That was nice, I'm always down for some claymation.

I love how Liberalism has proliferated to such a degree that all entertainment cannot be evaluated or created based on how fun it is or how it can provoke thought, but on how well it promotes the Liberal Capitalist cult doctrine.

@Kienda Bethesda has been an anti-consumer company for a while. The many controversies surrounding Fallout-76, the repeated reselling of Skyrim the subpar quality of Fallout 4 (imo) has solidified them as a company that doesn't deserve my patronage.

Give Bethesda money?

I'll pass, thanks.

Just played the demo, the moveset is really fun to execute. Maybe they could find a different button combo to do the bouncy move but I really enjoyed it enough to back it.

I realllyyyy don't want to pay $60 for each.

But I really want them on cartridge.

Nintendo don't screw us over for once?

I'm gonna keep my subscription to Retroarch and Dolphin.

I can't believe you passed up "shoals-like"

Man Diamond/Pearl remakes were such missed opportunity. It's so apparent they weren't a celebration of 4th Gen, but a mandatory yearly release slot.

What a shame. Diamond was the first game I ever bought with my own money.

>tfw no rich eccentric pokemon obsessed gf to drive you to work in the Lugia car

Why go on, bros?

If we're talking which best OoT formula, I'd say it's a tossup between Ocarina itself and Twilight Princess. My personal favorite is Majora's Mask, but it kind of breaks with the formula that OoT, WW, TP and SS follow.

My favorite top-down Zelda is either Link to the Past or Link Between Worlds. Man Link Between Worlds was so great, I wish they'd make another in that vein.

I find it very interesting how much Miyamoto appreciates non-gaming interests and how to relate them to gaming.

If I recall correctly, Miyamoto-san is an avid gardner and that's were we got Pikmin from. It's a very cool way to generate new ideas and that kind of je ne sais quoi is what I've always loved from Nintendo.

I'll never care what's on the platform that hosts Big Mouth and Cuties. Cut my subscription when the latter released.

It's getting hard to justify rebuying these games.

I got the HD Remasters for the extra content and different visuals.

I mayyyy get them on Switch to have them on cartridge, but asking $60 for each game is going to be a deal breaker I think.

$60 for a double pack on cartridge sounds good to me.

To help alleviate this shortage, we're going to release more fun, cool games on this console you can't buy.

Please understand.
