On the one hand it appears to be very slow paced,
presumably suitable for younger gamers,
on the other hand it actually looks much less colourful and vibrant than other Yoshi games, which presumably wouldn't be as appealing to young children.

@Anti-Matter

Mussels?

@Tempestryke

Salt for me,
and I get quite unreasonably upset if the cinema doesn't have it.

@The_Nintendo_Expat

Yeah, the guy with the $4,000 popcorn bucket is holding the elevator for the guy who doesn't make that in four months.
COME ON!

Both quite ***** aren't they?

@dazzleshell

Crikey.

Franklin says buy it!

Any idea which UK cinemas will be selling this?

Not discounting Luigi's Mansion 2 is weird.

@Mana_Knight

Stadium has much better mini-games I think.
And Stadium 2 gives many of the rental Pokemon really weak moves.

I really like regional variants,
offers something familiar yet new.

It's time for Uncle Franklin's Top 5 Pokemon Spin-Offs:

1) Pokemon Conquest
2) New Pokemon Snap
3) Pokemon Stadium
4) Pokken
5) Pokemon Puzzle League

Wario Land is not on there yet.

Often on Sundays in the summer months, usually slightly hungover, I'll wonder through the Saitama countryside with a friend of mine, and upon sight of small mammals trying to catch bugs, be pleasantly reminded of the origins of Pokemon.

Shadders is on the case!

Not sure we needed the condescending lecture on supply and demand.

@AlonditeFE
There's usually a cool new fairy type.
Apparently there's nine dual types not yet done,
one of which is bug/dragon, which to my mind is what Goodra (my favourite Pokemon) really ought to be.

@HandHeld3fectAce
But then they have had dual type starter Pokemon, so don't seem too wedded to perfect equilibrium.

Some speculation that Pombon could evolve into the first fire/fairy type...

@MirrorFate2
But fire dog.

We're not gonna make it, are we?
People, I mean.

@AlonditeFE

And dragon is only effective against dragon.

@AlonditeFE

First two work I think, but include a type that's already in the established three.

Dark, psychic, fighting I like. Think they've been used as secondary types for starters, but they didn't quite make the combinations circular, if that makes sense.

From what I'm reading, flying, fighting, rock is the only perfect triangle (equal in strength against and resistance from) other than the original, that uses three new types.

I feel the grass, fire, water trio is getting a little stale.

You could have flying, fighting, rock.
Or fairy, fighting, steel.

Can you think of any others?

I wonder if the evolutions will have another type.

Didn't know the Pokemon Company Owns the Angry Birds license.

Some of it reminded me of New Pokemon Snap, which is a good thing.

Surprised they've not done Pokken 2 yet.

Okay, now that looks proper.

@IronMan30

I look forward to the cut in Switch 2 price and free retro games then.

@CaptainQuo
Wait, what?
Your ex stole two consoles from you?!

I adore the 2DS design.

Interesting, I'll just type "King of Meat" into Google...
...oh my.

@Lizuka

Conquest was great.

Hmm, this looks pretty good.

@Bolt_Strike
What you say feels harsh,
but I can't really contradict it.

@Emacster

Being tired of a complaint doesn't give any validity to an opinion.
"if you don’t like it don’t support it". And we're not. In conjunction with this we are also sharing our views and explaining why, on a Nintendo site. If you don't like it, don't read it.
"are maybe some people fine with the pricing?"
I don't think anyone is suggesting that no-one is okay with the pricing; they're giving their opinion on why it's not okay with them.
"So maybe some people don’t care so much about the price and just want excellent gaming for their switch 2."
Again, that doesn't detract from other human individuals giving their views.
The belief that if a majority of people like something that it must be good, or a good value proposition, also seems flawed to me, but you're allowed to have that opinion of course.
"For me personally I don’t care for sports games. So I’m not buying Mario tennis. Maybe for a lower price I would consider it."
An understandable view that would be strange for someone who had bought the game to respond to with "Sigh".

Enjoy Fallout 4.

No online play is truly shocking.
Nintendo have made some utterly baffling decisions recently.

@FullMetalWesker

Interesting, that it's so similar to other Zelda covers is precisely why I didn't vote for it.

I'm absolutely baffled that anyone is voting for the western version.

@Emacster

1) Not really ironic... People wanted the option of VC. But as that option hasn't been there, many are now subscribed to NSO and so want bare ports like this on there. You have to live in the reality that exists.

2) "Sigh" is not an argument, and I'm worried that you seem to think it is.
VC games back in the day were about £5-£7.
Adjust for inflation and the market, maybe £10 might feel okay.
So charging what they are for this, whilst not giving consumers the choice for most games with VC, is the worst of both worlds.

3) Well it is. Paying a lot for a decades old GBA port.
Again, your rhetorical question, it's not an argument.

4) I wouldn't advocate piracy either, to be fair.

5) I mean, I GBA isn't that difficult to play, not like you have to hook your TV up to a different system.
Maybe more details are coming, but there doesn't even seem to be even basic quality of life improvements that might make it more enticing.

@larryisaman
I think that's where I'm at as well.
Psychologically that £7 (it's 16.99 I think) feels quite big.

@ShadLink
Bizarre comments.
I'm not invested in being a 'true fan', and I really hope that's not your motivation for playing games either, but is your choice of course.

No-one is being prevented from having fun with any game;
this a Nintendo website (that one chooses of their own volition to visit) where people talk about games, and sometimes the value proposition of those games.
Them expressing their opinion, no matter how assertively,
doesn't, or at least shouldn't, have any bearing on your enjoyment of any given game.

@metaphysician

I've read all the replies on this page, and see no outrage.
I see people expressing their opinion on a gaming site about games.

If you would like to quote a particular repsonse,
I could look at it.

@Thomystic

It can be changed if need be.

I'm a Dachsbun boy.

Oh lovely stuff.
This series deserves more affection, buy it!

@Lanmanna

That seems to be a bad example, as didn't they change course quite quickly?
More broadly, I think western companies are more malevolent, whereas in Japan it comes across as more borne out of stubborness, which I suppose is slightly more commendable (I don't know of course though, I'm not actually in the board rooms).
I've offered quite a sum of money for a simple service or item in Japan and been refused because it is mildy incongruous or deviates slightly from their set course; can be quite comical.

@Lycanroc

I always thought the two main legendaries were a missed opportunity;
as the setting was heavily inspired by Britain, they should have been a lion and a unicorn.

@metaphysician

Who has done this?
