Well, this certainly was a great CGI video, but it is really easy to do a CGI video compared to a full game. I love the people moaning about Gamefreak when Gamefreak aren't the ones developing the Sinnoh remakes. Gamefreak are making Legends Arceus, which from the early footage shown is more along the lines of this CGI video.

@pennylessz Yeah, go read a clearly biased opinion piece to get all the facts. What a joke.

@LXP8 Comparing second hand prices to the day one price? Just admit you are cheap and the people who put a lot of work into this game don't deserve to get paid.

I hope these do well for Nintendo so they make a new entry. I was a little put off by the UK price, until I realized you get both games for £50. £25 for a fun detective game seems fine by me.

@LXP8 Yeah, I agree, £50 is too much. I mean, all they did was completely update every single drawing in the game, put in a few animations, hire a team of voice actors to fully voice both games, make a complete translation from the previous Japanese only release, and add in a bunch of quality of life upgrades. They were SUPER lazy on this.

£50 gets you both games btw. £25 each. You probably paid more for Another Code, Hotel Dusk and the Ace Attorney games (if you bought them)

@Euro-B You don't know how to use quotation marks when typing. Only use them when you are actually quoting what someone actually said, not what you interpret. Also, I said the games are "Bad/disappointing" and "mediocre to bad".

Your opinion on the games, in your words:
Black Knight - "Nothing 'Super Special'"
Lost Word - "mediocre"
Forces - "mediocre like Forces"
Sonic 06 - "nothing like 06 or Boom" with the context they are worse than mediocre, which means bad.

You said nothing to defend Secret Rings so I will assume that means you didn't like it. I didn't include Boom because that wasn't made by Sonic Team. Even with Unleased you said "an almost perfect level design (at day)," Which means you think the night levels aren't as good, or as I put it "disappointing", and the night levels are the whole purpose for that game existing. Oh, and I'm not using my own personal opinion. Look up the critical reception of the games. Sonic 4 part 2 got mediocre reviews. 5/10s or 6/10s across the board from critics and fans. Sonic games haven't been great for a very long time. Probably the Sonic Advance games or Sonic Colours was the last time Sonic was great.

@Euro-B Hey look, a Sonic Team Stan has appeared. Not sure why you quoted "Completely bad reputation" in your reply to me because I never said that. Also, you listed 3 good games. Lets see how many bad/disappointing games we can list: Sonic Forces, Sonic and the Secret Rings, Sonic and the Black Knight, Shadow the Hedgehog, Sonic 06, Sonic 4 part 1 and 2, Sonic Unleased (you liked it, I didn't), Sonic Lost World. 8 vs 3.

In the last 10 years Sonic Team have mostly produced mediocre to bad Sonic games and a bunch of Puyo Puyo games. It is time to archive the team.

Translation: Our Sonic Team sucks and thanks to the free labour provided by fans there are some good Sonic games out there. This tricks people into thinking fondly of our once great mascot without us having to lift a finger.

A good start but they need to get someone working on level design as it is a bit bland.

@Lando_ Why would they cancel it? It doesn't infringe on any of their copywrites. Just look at Blossom Tales. Its the same idea.

Easy win for the European one.

Nintendo needed money during the Wii U days, so they made these. The Switch is printing money for Nintendo so they don't need to do any more. Simples.

Awesome. I love easter eggs like this.

The perfect colour for some Hylian Shield decals.

@TheFarmboy Maybe those fans could spend their time and energy making their own thing as a spiritual successor (Cities: Skylines, Mighty No.9, Yooka Laylee, Axiom Verge, Two Point Hospital, TemTem, War for the Overworld) and maybe they could even sell the game on the Nintendo eshop.

"As the IP - in particular its 2D platforming roots - was losing popularity, SEGA effectively admitted it wasn't getting it right"

Right here is the difference. SEGA had nothing to lose.

April 22nd, the perfect time to reveal the next Smash Bros DLC character. I think Shantae has earned a spot.

@Slowdive sorry mate but that is hogwash. There are plenty of games I played back in the early 80s that are nowhere to be found anywhere online and that is fine. Your example of Super Metroid is one of the most famous games of its generation and had large production runs meaning finding the game on original hardware is incredibly easy. People would have made spiritual successors and other Metroidvania games even if the roms didn't exist. And again "They are part of history" is just sentimentality and nostalgia talking. As for young developers, there is a thing called teaching. Where people who know how to do something inform the younger people. There are also developers conferences where people share their knowledge. No need to backup games to study the code.

I've yet to hear a compelling argument as to WHY we need game preservation beyond sentimentality. Oh, and your little comment about "some people use rom site for piracy", change the word some to most. And another thing, don't let Xbox off the hook for game preservation. Turtles in Time Reshelled is lost to the ages, and some exclusive original Xbox games have NEVER been rerelease either in physical or digital form.

Yet another developer trying to get easy notoriety once Nintendo shuts this down. If you have the skills to make your own game, make your own game.

It is no different to Pumpkin Spice Latte, the McRib, Cadbury's Creme Eggs, Disney movies and pretty much anything else that carries a Limited Release tag and people only freak out when Nintendo do it. They said it was limited when the games were revealed and gave you 6 months to buy/play the games. Plenty of time. Also, I was just in my local supermarket and Super Mario 3D All Stars was still sitting on the shelves. The physical copies didn't disappear in a puff of smoke.

Finally, the UK gets preorders. Pre-ordered.

@Ravenmaster The Hylian shield is blue, the handle of the Master Sword is purple. That's why the colour difference.

Goodbye all the personality the original had for more "realistic" graphics. Thanks but I'll stick to what we got. Most shots were far too dark too.

The person who made it did good work but I love the look of the actual games that are coming.

i mean, what else can they do if the parts are literally not available?

Someone needs to explain why chibi looks mean a game doesn't look like it is worth full price. Beyond snobbery I don't understand it. The developers had to remodel everything in the game, except the Pokemon by the looks of things.

Internet complains about Sword/Shield's graphics - Game is the best selling mainline Pokemon game since Gold/Silver.

@Alundra-1998 The game honours Platinum too. Porygon-Z is in the trailer, but wasn't in the Diamond/Pearl Pokedex. It was in the Platinum Pokedex though. Also, in Floaroma Town, the blonde girl next to the Pokemon Center wasn't in Diamond and Pearl, but was in Platinum.

BTW, people should expect new content. It looks like the Palkia/Dialga statue has been fused together. Are the DNA Splicers from Black and White going to make an appearance? https://scontent.fgla3-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/155096011_10217953483579727_3550003395776814510_o.jpg?_nc_cat=111&ccb=3&_nc_sid=dbeb18&_nc_ohc=kHRbQrZ6r1EAX9eEOjF&_nc_ht=scontent.fgla3-1.fna&oh=a936c2b2931cdd24d82bdc3e858ab8b0&oe=6060DD5D

They are preserving, and updating the original art style. I love it. Up until X and Y Pokemon games were Chibi. Using the Chibi style is perfect for the remakes. Link's Awakening on Switch was done beautifully using the same update but respect the original art style formula.

People need to remind themselves of how the games looked originally. They are preserving the art style of how the game looked on DS.

I love the look of this remake. The people moaning about the chibi art style are weird. It is a chibi remake of a Chibi game. Seriously, up until Sword and Shield, mainline Pokemon games were Chibi games. They are preserving the art style the game was originally made in. I love it.

Legends Arceus looks amazing. I cannot wait for next year.

Timed exclusive demos during E3 would be great, and something I've wanted for years.

They needed a trailer to announce it is called Sonic the Hedgehog 2?

I just checked out the gameplay trailer for this game. Turned it off after about 20 seconds. Not for me. Such a shame as I loved the original game. I'd rather have a port of that one.

Soulless and uninspiring, just like most "insert game here in Unreal" remakes. Please never do Pokemon in this art style.

I'm sorry, but is this even real? There is nothing being reported about anyone having a problem about this game, except for today. I can find no evidence of anyone having a problem with this game before today's "statement". It looks to me like the developers decided to make a fake controversy to get the white knight YouTubers to make videos about their game calling out "the puritans of Twitter", while simultaneously promoting their game. This is just free marketing and you are all falling for it.

If I want to enjoy the story in a game, I will put it on easy and experience the story. There is nothing worse for a narrative than repeating the same part over and over and over and over again. Once you have completed the story there is nothing stopping you going back with a harder difficulty.

Ahh, Nightshade, the game that is 100% not The Shadow.

Meh, Codemasters hasn't been great since the early 90s. They were gods in the 80s.

@JaxonH Yeah, the freemelee folks are stupid. Nintendo had absolutely no issue with Smash Ultimate being part of the line up. Only when these idiots started their complaining did Nintendo double down. All the tournament organizers had to do was just say "well, we had to remove Melee since it cannot be played online." and nothing further would have happened.

I want a new car, but they are so expensive. I know what to do, I will go to a dealer, take it for a test drive and just take it. I'm sure the dealership will be completely fine with me taking it, right? I doubt they will try and get it back.

@westman98 Yeah, do something they clearly don't want to do so entitled "fans" don't steal their stuff.

@TG16_IS_BAE Is that the only insult you know?

Yup, someone who has no problem pointing out the mistakes the company has made is a corporate shill. Sticking with cartridges when the CD age started? Huge mistake and seriously damaged the N64. Making an overpowered Gamecube when they knew the PS4 and Xbox One were coming soon after the Wii U launched? The marketing of the Wii U. Being ***** to Sony during the development of the Playstation in the 90s. They created their own competition and are still playing catchup. The way they are handling the Joy-Con drift problem, or should I say not handling it. Nintendo have done a lot of ***** over the years.

@TG16_IS_BAE typical internet troll, moans about not enough things to buy then when a place to get more is shown, he moans again.

@TG16_IS_BAE Loads of soundtracks here: https://www.play-asia.com/music/soundtracks/14/71cy

@RandomAfricanGamer they aren't stealing? Oh, I didn't realize that they paid for distribution rights. My bad. What is your definition of people taking things that aren't theirs and uploading it to the internet if it isn't stealing?

Also, is shill the only word you know?

Edit: Ohh, you edited your comment and decided to change it to simp?

@TG16_IS_BAE If Nintendo had a music service I would be happy. Until then, they are free to take down anything illegal done with their products. Even if Nintendo did make a paid for music service do you really think people would pay for it or would they go to the people who steal it and upload it for free?

@CeeBee88 Sadly I don't see any evidence of an official release for that soundtrack.
