Returning? Never left! This should've been from day one!! It would've made a great announcement together with the Inklings. But I guess at the time the Master Cycle Zero wasn't announced yet, right? Anyways, should've been announced together with the Champion's Ballad then xD Better late than never!
@HobbitGamer Ikr?! At least in MK8D you unlock the Kart/bike parts, and there's an incentive to get Gold Trophies on 150cc and even 200cc. Even Time Trials unlocks something. Mario Tennis Aces is very very lacking in comparison. I've done the 3 cups with all the characters just because, and got nothing but a little crown next to their name. Not even an alternate title screen. Absolutely nothing. If that's not lazy, I don't know what it is. Now if you excuse me, I'mma wait till next month so I can play an online match and unlock Blooper with no effort at all. (JK, I actually play online a lot)
My biggest problem with the game is the lack of unlockables. The courts in adventure mode are definitely not enough. Why are all the characters unlocked from the start? There's absolutely no reward for completing the COM Tournaments, which are very laking compared to previous entries, btw. Star Cup is too easy. They even have better AI programmed into the game, I don't understand why there aren't more cups. And unlocking characters over time just adds to that frustration. But I do like the game, I just wish it was on par with other Nintendo games.
@MH4 Springtron could totally be an echo of Spring Man! I really wish Arms makes the cut, that's the best character design I've seen since Overwatch and Splatoon
Why would you choose an Eevee that can't f'ing evolve?! This is ridiculous. Alright, Pikachu is not suuper useful either. But come on! An eevee that doesn't evolve is just blasphemy
So far I hate this casual approach. As long as next year's game comes out ok, I don't mind this. But if they carry the dumbed down mechanics forward, it's going to be pretty bad. Remember that there's a competitive scene. EVs and IVs can't go away. The Battle system can't change, otherwise competitive players will be completely alienated.
Let's Go is not good. Alright I get it, the true game is coming next year. But I'm concerned. I'm concerned about what aspects of Let's Go could carry on forward. I don't like it at all. But of course I'm buying it, who am I kidding
I never really felt the need to increase the battery of my Switch. My use of it balances docked and portable mode, so I don't find myself stopping playing to charge neither the switch or the joy cons. Booyah!
I've been a backer since NL first reported on it. The community in the Discord server is very solid, the devs talk often, and there's already a backer demo. Do check out the Kickstarter updates, there's a lot of interesting ideas there. And as some have already pointed out, it's not just Pokémon inspired, the devs are passionate about other monster games as well.
You can do better than this, guys. The official Nintendo Magazine in question has reported on fake news multiple times, including about Pokémon. A whole speculation about Kanto based on a rough poorly made "screenshot" is really scraping the barrel. Eurogamer's rumours had credibility, nothing else. All that we really know is that it's coming. Maybe check with your kind of partner Serebii before posting such a rumour filled article?
Edit: the title does say "Rumours", so my bad on that. But I stand by my point that the only rumours that had foundation were Eurogamer's.
