I appreciate the attempt to make us try new weapons and specials. Every mode encourages variety. I fell in love with a lot of weapons I'd never try if I hadn't played with them in Salmon Run. And by completing the Story Mode with the one I had more difficulty (Charger), I not only got a cool skin for the standard charger but felt a lot more safe with it in multiplayer. That's good game design

I honestly can't imagine Splatoon without the Squid (and other sea species) theme. But do those rabbits look cool. I'm sure they would have made them just as engaging as the Inklings.

Booooring

Actually, there's a kind of Pokémon GO clone that's been going around these days. It's called Maguss, by the name you can tell it's Harry Potter-ish. It's still on beta and has a lot of issues, but yeah, it exists. And of course it's not like Ingress was not a thing before.

Bought it on a PS4 sale a while ago. It's a fun little game. But I think it's a bit expensive on Switch. Good game nonetheless

I love the internet

@geox30 Shovel Knight is my number one wish! He'd be soooo awesome!
And please, don't remove Bayonetta >.< my number one fear if it's a new game is if some of the new characters getting removed like Snake was.

Could it be influenced by Nintendo's presence on phones? I mean, the Switch is not just owned by Nintendo fans, like the Wii U before, but we're there. I actually still play Mario Run from time to time when there are events. Same for Pokémon GO (not a Nintendo published game, but you get the picture).

I WANT POKEMON! I'm ready to have my hopes crushed and proceed to hate Nintendo and Serebii on Twitter because of my skyrocketed expectations

That's very sweet of them to add. Unfortunately I already 100%'ed the game before the update. A single day before. sigh

I got my Switch about a month ago, and I'm loving it to Death. Just 100%'ed Odyssey. What a sweet game

That's actually a very fun game. Had it on ps4

I'm in love with this mode. Thanks for the tips, Alex! I might have copied some of your hiding places!

It's actually more fun than I thought it'd be, give it a try, guys. And it gives LOTS of coins. They took the game's most tedious part (grinding for coins at the end) and made something fun out of it.

Hey, @Dom, can you tell what the Bayonetta Smash Amiibo does? I know the other amiibo unlock outfits for her, but I just couldn't find anywhere saying what Cereza herself unlocks.

I wonder what this means for MK9 release. Will it be long after this? Or perhaps they'll release closer together with some sort of interaction?

The Switch needs only Pokémon and Smash to win 2018

SHOVEL KNIGHT <3

You knew it all along! Sneaky!

It's happening! All aboard!

Does anyone know when it's gonna surpass the Wii U worldwide? How many Wii Us sold? How many Switchs out there since the latest update on sales?

I feel like you're just picking little aspects of new stuff you don't like, like most, dare I say, genwunners. At least it's a very polite article xD I'll strongly disagree on the topic of cutscenes and story focus. A game can have a great sense of exploration and adventure WITH a heavy and complex plot. Yeah, the cutscenes can get better and less interruptive, that's true. It's really just a balance thing. RPGs are usually plot and cutscene heavy, and honestly I'd rather they continue to evolve - no pun intended - this aspect in Pokémon.
As for the battle system. It has to fundamentally remain the same to not put off veteran and competitive players, BUT, the introduction of real time elements, like being able to move in battle, should spark new life into the series, specially since it's now HD, BUT... It should be optional. That way everybody's happy. And Ultra Beasts are just Pokemon, man, chill out.

Best of luck, Thomas! Thanks for all the amazing pieces!

We all knew it! <3

Biggest news of the night! Long live Cereza! <3

Someone please put some sense on the higher ups at Nintendo and stop this ridiculous program.

Guys, I see some of you have a lot of questions. The reviewer might be under an embargo and can't answer them. Here's some things: it still runs poorly on old 3DS. Whenever there's a double battle and/or weather effects it lags. The games are still easy, but there are some tough moments in totem battles. But if you only level your starter you'll probably outlevel everything. Remember to try and catch some Pokémon, will ya? The story in the early hours is very similar, but like the reviewer said, the Ultra Recon Squad is the key to the changes. It really goes a different way closer to the climax. But I'm a huge pokemon fan, I think the changes don't justify the game for casual pokemon players. If you're in it just for the campaign, maybe skip this one. Now, if you are interested in Battles, there's new stuff. Move Tutors (new moves for the Pokemon), actual new Pokémon, New Z moves. It's a vastly superior version to Sun and Moon, truly the 3DS's swan song. If you guys have any questions I'll be happy to answer, just don't ask for spoilers.

Edit: and yes, they are the last pokemon games for 3DS, it's been talked about in interviews

Having played it myself (early copy, not piracy) the Review is on point. Amazing game, but this is very true

"Pokémon Sun and Moon are still so fresh in our minds and we can’t help but feel that the Ultra versions would have felt more special – and therefore easier to justify purchasing – if a little more time has passed. "

Nonetheless it's a must have for Pokémon fans, so much fan service.

Oh, wait. I thought USUM were just cheap cash grabs with little to none new content. Who would've thought of waiting until they showed what's new.

@Anti-Matter Yes, you can.

They grow up so fast :') <3

I knew it! Poor little Yoshi!

That's a whole new definition of flop

Great game! Nice addition to the Switch Library.

Now Joe can forward this link whenever someone starts saying nonsense on Twitter.

Truly lol'd! Thanks, Mitch xD My 3DS can now be put between tectonic plates to stop earthquakes.

@meleebrawler I'm sure Serebii.net will have a complete list of balance changes in a couple of weeks after the game's launch. (You might want to erase the repeated posts, mate)

@Damo About those visuals, I'm a bit disappointed resolution is not higher. The game looked rough on Wii U, is this improvement enough? I'm not a graphic junkie or anything, but it was very noticeable on Wii U. Thanks

Pokémon USUM news pleeeeease

@Tibob Give Plague a chance! I didn't like it at first too. But in the end I fell in love!

@ZurapiiYohane You'll definitely be able to transfer them. Via trade, no Bank required (although bank would make it faster)

I just wanted Local Turf War without the need to have 8 players. It's hard enough for me to find 3 or 4 friends with a Switch. 8 is madness. We're stuck with Salmon Run

@AlexOlney About offline local play. Just to clarify: no bots on turf war, right? So we're stuck with Salmon Run unless EIGHT switches are gathered? I just wish I could play with my brother without a whole party going.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE is right. It would just not look good in comparison. Third party support for the Switch has to be different than this. Something more like Rabbids Kingdom Battle and less Dragon Quest

So, Alex, how about length? "It’s still probably not worth the full retail price by itself if you plan to never go online" makes me worried that the biggest problem with the campaign hasn't been addressed. I loved it and I'm glad it's been improved. I just hoped it lasted longer. And no, replayability isn't enough.

@Jayronauron Sure, that's what I meant. I didn't mean local matches on a single system. Have they actually confirmed it? I'd love to be able to play turf wars with a couple of friends without the need to go online or find another bunch of people to fill in. Thanks for the reply.

@ThomasBW84 soo... I don't really know where to put this question, or if it's been confirmed or denied before. I'll just leave this here: Splatoon 2 is gonna have local matches, right? But it's not really that easy to gather 8 people. My question is: will local Turf Wars have an option to add bots? Sorry if I'm way off topic.

But on topic! Pokémon confirmation made the day to me. And Mario Odissey! That song is just sooo cute!

All aboard the hype train!!

Minor annoyances and the hideous way of the Hado aside, it's​ an awesome game to have on the Switch. Price is really the issue here

Just give us Smash on Switch

Last year's E3 was lackluster because development of basically everything was supposed to have moved on to Switch. While I do appreciate the games that have come out/been announced so far, if there's not at least one breathtaking NEW game like Metroid or Pokémon, I'm gonna be disappointed. Yes, Mario Odissey is gonna be amazing, just as BotW was last year, but we already know about that. Show us the stuff, Nintendo.
