It would be great if it did, but I just don't see Switch beating the Wii. Wii was the ultimate casual console that most people played once and put it away.

@Tayman The internet isn't a real place. Internet stuff doesn't mean anything. Sorry to break it to you. Best you learn it sooner rather than later.

@Tayman "pro-corporate"

welcome to the real world.

Apply for the licence. How hard is it? You might get turned down but you might not. Did Ubisoft steal Mario when they made Mario and Rabbids? No, they applied for the licence and they got it. Rare got the licence when they made Goldeneye. Ask permission first.

@Graslu00 Exactly, if big companies cannot do it, why should they allow bedroom developers to do it without paying those fees and licensing?

@Stocksy Star Wars, Star Trek and Sonic are all allowed by the IP holders. However, the IP holders created rules that people need to follow when making something based on that IP. For example, Star Wars Theory on youtube applied for permission before he made his Darth Vader fan film. He was allowed to do it as long as he made no money from it. Star Trek actually was a major issue for a while. Paramount cracked down hard on fan productions. They eventually relented but productions had to only be a certain length. As for Sonic, well, Sega haven't made a truly great Sonic game in years so they are fine with fans making Sonic games since they give them good press.

@Graslu00 IP holders don't have to provide a game just because people want it. They do have to defend their IP when someone steals it though.

When will people realize you cannot just take someone's IP without applying for a licence first? At this point, all these developers are doing is remake a game, get notoriety, then once their name is known and the get the C&D they make their own game that probably would have gone unnoticed if there wasn't some "controversy".

@RiasGremory Sorry but Mark Hamill isn't the authority on the character. He certainly is entitled to his opinion but he only knows Luke when he is in his early 20s and still headstrong. If you think a 60 year old is the same person he was when he was 20, you are in for some shocking life developments.

Who is the authority on Luke? George Lucas. The little we know about his plans for Luke had Luke living as a depressed hermit on an island next to a Jedi temple. When a young woman (Kira in his draft) comes looking for training, he would refuse her. Sound familiar? That is what we saw in The Last Jedi.

Also, anyone who believes that rumour of Lucasfilm retconning the sequel trilogy are just kidding themselves. It is NEVER going to happen. Stop listening to angry "fandom menace" youtubers and clickbait news sites.

@TheFrenchiestFry Try the novelisations of the prequels. They are much better than the movies.

"Playing with power...and bricks"

That was the best they could do? Why not "Now you're building with power."?

Wait, people who hacked their game did online stuff with the game? What a bunch of morons.

The first one was surprisingly good. I look forward to the sequel.

People always get their hopes up then moan when what they want to have seen isn't shown. Stop speculating on what could be in a new Direct and then you will not have your expectations shattered. I always go into a Direct with no expectations so I can just enjoy the news. Besides the WWE game I quite liked everything they showed in this Direct. Nothing groundbreaking, but still enjoyable.

@Rayquaza2510 People have used "they" as a pronoun long before it was applied to trans people. It was usually used when you were not sure of the persons gender, which is one reason it was adapted by trans people.

Yay a Brie Larson article. Time to put on the popcorn and watch the insecure guys freak out. This will be fun. Luckily we have already had a couple of contenders.

Edit: If this was a Zelda Williams article, the amount of "Who cares" and "go away" comments would be next to zero.

@fafonio "If they don’t fix their ship, Pokemon will become an over saturated franchise."

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahaha

Sorry, had to get that out. You said it "will become" an over saturated franchise? As a franchise, Pokemon is well past that by now. I'm a mega Pokemon fan but, dude, the franchise is very over saturated.

The way they revealed the game was a bit weird but why is it so unpopular? As a franchise, Pokemon has a lot of spin of titles and this is just another spin off. If you don't like it, don't play it. Why are so many people being immature about it? The main line games didn't stop when the likes of Pokemon Rumble, Pokemon Trozei, Pokemon Dash etc came out. The main line will continue despite this game existing. As for the reveal weirdness, I too was hoping for Gen 2 or Gen 4 remakes, but, I don't really care. They probably only made it a separate reveal at the request of Tencent.

Cool, I was happy to see them appear in Pokemon Masters too. Also, the models for Jessie and James are so much better than the models used in Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee.

Just put fences on the beaches.

People still crying over The Last Jedi? Let it go. For one it was a great Star Wars movie and second, he is a great director. Knives Out and TLJ were very enjoyable.

And this is why you don't rush an article out of the door before getting confirmation. There will be a lot of retractions about Nintendo's mobile presence.

Customs fees are a thing. get used to it.

I agree with her. I see no fault with her decision.

@sanderev My friend, I heard similar complaints 20 years ago when the prequels came out.

But, to respond to your bullet point:
1. Check out the acting in the original Star Wars movie. Sorry but the acting in that movie isn't much to write home about either. Also, the dialogue in George Lucas directed movies can be very painful. The man is a genius storyteller but he can't do dialogue.
2. You are talking about movies which includes genocide against the planet Alderaan, where the Empire builds not one but two planet destroying weapons, social cleansing and brainwashing as not violent?
3. Rey has plenty of flaws for those of you paying attention. She is incredibly naive, a terrible shot with ranged weapons, is easily manipulated, and far too bold.
4. Agree in part. Kylo Ren is not supposed to be the big bad villain though. The intention for his character was someone trying to break out of his very parents shadow. Someone that felt abandoned, shipped off and betrayed. That is what he delivered. Sorry you wanted a mustache twirling big bad, but they went with someone with a complicated back story that wasn't bad just because they need a bad guy.

"Every white male in the movies either dies, is evil or has some other major flaw." Never go full racist. I guess six movies where the white man is always victorious wasn't enough for you. I'm more interested in the characters than the colour of their skin. Sorry they couldn't give most of the main roles to just white men this time around. Also, you cannot complain a character is flawed and complain a character has no flaws. Oh and white characters that don't fit your criteria: Wedge Antilies, Beaumont Kin,

The Sequels tell a story too. It deals with the aftermath of the war and shows how history can easily repeat itself if we don't learn from our mistakes.

@sanderev ""I don't really get the hate Jar-Jar Binks gets. He's by far one of the best characters in that movie.

Also Jar-Jar is better than any of the characters in the latest trilogy."

In 20 years the kids who love the Sequel trilogy will be adults and saying the exact same thing, and will most likely be moaning about what ever new Star Wars movie is out. Star Wars fans, of which I am a proud member, really need to learn to loosen up. They are kids movies.

Twintelle or Helix I believe

Going by all the Gen 2 Pokemon behind Ishihara-San, it looks like it will be Let's Go Johto.

@ReaperExTenebris Sonic the Hedgehog works as a 2D game. It doesn't need to be a 3D one. Earthworm Jim works as a 2D game. It doesn't need to be a 3D one. Worms works as a 2D game. It doesn't need to be a 3D one. Mortal Kombat works as a 2D game. It doesn't need to be a 3D one.

Need I go on?

This isn't the late 90s where EVERYTHING had to be 3D. Shantee works as a 2D game. It doesn't need to be a 3D one.

@Krisi since there will be new Galarian forms for a number of those old Pokemon I don't see why they wont have Pokedex entries.

You agree to this when you buy hardware from Nintendo. They are enforcing the EULA.

They also know the hack makes it extremely easy to play pirated games. Of course "this is not our intention", what a crock of sh*t. Also, they are making money off of it. They are not doing this so people can upload their games.

How did we go from the Cybertron games and Devastation to this mobile looking game?

Is that music blaring while people are building the park? Their poor ears.

So, they made it too small to see the screen so made a magnifier, they put only 4 games on each handheld even though memory exists for the entire library, they put different games on each one so in order to get all 16 games you have to buy all four which is roughly $200, then put all the Shining Force games on one when they could have branched the franchise over multiple units to get the Shining Force fans to buy them all? This kind of baffling practices are why Sega dropped out of the hardware business.

Not a good year to make this available if the rumours prove true. Hopefully Mario 64 will be on Switch before the end of the year.

Animal Crossing soft toy amiibo please

The only con is something you don't even mention in the review? Nice.

The biggest irony is the PETA people literally had to buy the game, giving more money to Nintendo, making the game even more profitable, for this little stunt. Nintendo don't care what these idiots think, they just thank them for all the money they give them.

Maybe PETA should focus on helping real animals instead of digital ones made from a collection of polygons.

I have reached number 4. I spend between 1-2 million bells every Sunday then go online to find the best or good prices to sell them. I maybe make 5 million but now that my home is all paid off there is little need to have so many bells.

Hmm, I will wait for more details but I would love a Doctor Who game that was actually good.

@andykara2003 it is not for everyone and that is fine. It is a life sim game and if you don't like that kind of game then this isn't the game for you. I personally find it relaxing and can spend hours crafting and designing.

A few months ago Nintendo apologised for delaying the game. It turns out the delay would actually release the game at the perfect time for not only the customer but Nintendo as well.

This is to be expected. Anyone moaning is just dumb.

I'm glad they are doing more story. I was really enjoying the story but the ending just retcons everything that happened so there is no weight to anything. I hope we get a better ending.

You only get like 2 weeds a day. Unless you are time travelling, why would you need this? Stop time travelling and your island will not be covered in weeds.

How I can see a sequel going: Dr Robotnik runs into Knuckles on the mushroom world where he is protecting the Chaos emeralds. Robotnik convinces Knuckles to return him to Earth but steals some of the Emeralds to power up his robots. Sonic and new friend Tails team up to stop Robotnik.

Stop being prudes. Nudity is the most natural thing in the world.

@adam9431 Wait, it is possible to stop playing Animal Crossing?
