@Baler any controller is miles better than the joycons. There’s a reason everybody calls the joycons the worst Nintendo controller ever made

Capcom… we want X9!!

Show X some love! That IP is better.

I loved the nihilistic story. Maybe it was a bit too much. Felt weirdly depressed after the final ending.

Shame… a Tingle manga would be amazing, weird and fun as hell

What a way to waste resources and pollute the planet. These practices should be severely fined.

We deserve the low quality

@Mikeloto31 ummm it could be the last main Pokemon game on Switch, as the impending Switch 2 can happen anytime......... not the last Pokemon ever... duh....

@westman98 yeah the framerate yes… but at least V/S doesn’t have Pokémon popping literally out of the ground from 4 meters away.
And those “open areas” are a total disgrace.

Good, let people criticize the game so GF and TPC learn something. Instead of people blindly defending the games just because it’s Pokémon.
Improvement is for the better. And the only way to improvement is being conscious of your faults.
What surprises me is that these games are WAAAAAY better than SW/SH in the visual and performance department and those were not torn to shreds like the internet is doing right now with these.

I’d prefer a sequel. This and F-Zero should be priority IPs

Do it… don’t let us wait another … what… 8 years between sequels?

I'm part of the problem since I bought Scarlet this weekend. However I was really disgusted with what GF did with SW/SH. Arceus was a step in the right, fun direction.
I'll judge this when I play it and make up my mind in the later weeks. But Game Freak really needs to step up their game when games like Xenoblade 3 exist.

OMG… for a second I thought he had died. 😵‍💫😨😨😨😨

And this is exactly why Breath of the Wild will never be the best Zelda game. It was close to being it... but the abscence of any REAL dungeon knocks it off of the top of any list.

The hell? I was doing the same thing on my last trip to Europe

I would pay for this.... an already built one.

It would be a dream if to celebrate the 20th anniversary, Nintendo would announce the rumored & already finished remaster/remake of Metroid Prime on the 18th.

Meh... take all the time you need with Metroid Prime 4. I have a huge backlog, got an amazing Metroid game in my switch with Dread, and Bayonetta 3 taught me to be patient for great games.

Metroid Prime 4 can take all the time it needs. However... where is Metroid Prime Remake/Remaster? I mean, that one is, according to rumors, already done and Nintendo is just sitting on it. .... sigh....

@PinderSchloss sigh... no... not everything has to go "open world". Studios try that with stale franchises and instead of trying something innovative and fun.... they become a fetch quest snore fest. Metroidvanias have tight level design since the inception of its franchises and are recognized for it.

And if it was a 3rd person Metroid game... then it wouldn't be a Prime game. What makes it a PRIME game is the first person perspective, even the DS "Hunters" game and the 3DS "Federation Force" game are PRIME and they all are in first person.

And please... everyone... for the love of god... don't turn this thread into another Advance Wars Russia/Ukraine debate for the 100th time. We have already heard every...single...argument from all sides.

I always wanted to play this game. It’s still in my backlog list all the way to the Wii!!

That and Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon

What should be scaled down is exactly the voice acting this time around because it was terrible last time. That or keep up with the Japanese VO.
The English VO director should really step up his game BIG time this next game. 🙄

Still mad we didn’t get a N64 Classic

Yeah yeah yeah ….. bring Megaman X9 … Capcom what the hell are you waiting for?

Just one word: UGH!

@RobynAlecksys LMAO!!! Real gamers have these games in their original N64 cartridges, Not buying them this late 4 generations later. …. ohh guess what? I still have a Glover N64 cartridge. Why would I buy a $15 dollar game when I still need NSO to play online? 50+ games in the service for $1 a month is the cherry on top.

Should have seen my face when you’re trying to lecture me about real gamers when I can hold my original Glover cartridge in the palm of my hands, AND still want it available online, because I’m paying $1 for other games (WITH online multiplayer) rather than Glover. If it gets added it’s a plus.

LMAO. Keep waiting to “buy” Pilotwings 64 or Goldeneye this generation. While you wait a decade, I’ll be playing them in NSO whenever I want, even if I have my huge backlog. 👍 👌

Real gamers bwahahahaha

@Kilroy 8 friends + family plan = $1 a month

Platinum…congrats for Bayo … but, what’s next? The W101 DLC you promised in the kickstarter that you guys never delivered?

@SeantheDon29 Mhhh let me see… would I rather have this game for $1 a month with my NSO service (along other 50 games and internet service) or I’d rather pay … I don’t know … $15-$20 for this game?

I would prefer to pay the yearly subscription and have access to all those games (and in theory Glover) … than pay that price for a single N64 game.

I have fond memories of Glover… but those are better suited for NSO

Or in an ideal world… a N64 Classic

Pikmin 3 is way better on WiiU than on Switch.

I enjoyed the movie for what it was. I think it was a bit unfair to compare it to the excellent Frasier movies. But yeah, there was something missing.

A shame that this game was buried because of the failure of the movie. This one deserved better. A risk commonly tied to licensed games.

@MagicMan @rubycarbuncle … welcome to the comments section, where everybody can give their take on things.

Also, people say stuff like this so Gamefreak FIXES stuff like this. As @bret said, it’s seems they already fixed it…. If it’s true, then I’m all up for it. (People like Bret and me had a valid complain about the raid battles in SW/SH … they were slow, tedious and you could spend HOURS grinding them because of stupid AI and people who didn’t push their buttons, aside from the slow moves and flow where everything felt floaty and in slow motion)

They fixed them because of people who complained about what they did wrong and didn’t work out, not you guys who just clap at everything they throw at you……. Sigh. 🤦‍♂️

You’re welcome for the fixed raid battles.
A gift from “trolls” like me. 👍

The only horrific thing I’m afraid of is the dreadful boring tediousness of the raid battles’ return.

Makes me want to crawl under the bed and not buy this game.

Hope we don’t get new hardware soon. Plenty of games do what Pokémon don’t.

@LexKitteh ummm... maybe I'm missing something... but why would they be trapped? You have Pokemon Home, where you can keep them, transfer them and you could even consider the Dex over there as the "ultimate" dex you need to complete (instead of capturing over 700 monsters every.....single....game)

Why would I get into a horribly tedious Max Raid Battle without being able to catch the Pokémon? Sigh…

@GameOtaku man, let's just end this in good terms. There's no point in going round and round. At the end neither one is wrong or right, and because of the new information coming out, there's no way of telling who is telling the truth. So, there's no point in discussing this anymore. I'd rather keep seeing your comments and keep discussing in other news amicably as always. I bid a great week to you sir.

@Wexter you know what would be funny? If P* actually offered $4k for each session and she understood $4k in total. Making the translator the biggest troll of all time.

And well, it seems the whole story could change now. It seems its a case of he/she said now. But hey man, thanks for the civil reply

@Wexter I told you guys $4k was a really low number for that kind of work. Now... with the new information the whole thing changes. I would now say that a six figure is quite a lot and she should have lowered her negotiations by quite a big margin. However, I'm reading the tweets and it seems there are half-truths out there.
I would like to know the real story before continuing with the topic or any arguments.

@Otoemetry because Otaku meant that everybody should be paid equally (or the same) ... from the averagest of average Joes ... to the most skilled ones. That everybody should share an equal pay regardless of skill, which I don't agree at all. I didn't say this situation evokes socialism... but his mindset does.

Exactly this: @Bizzyb those are common practices with talent in Japan, and we saw it with the Konami workforce before.
For me it goes more along those lines.
But I would never state it as a fact because there is no proof.
Platinum has been one of my favorite developers for more than a decade. I won’t boycott the game but I did find the offer pretty cheap and suspicious.

@Wexter yeah I know. That’s why I wouldn’t be head butting with you because I know you just came in to the discussion. But Otaku I know has read all the points above and still feels she should be paid less because average Joes get paid less 🤦‍♂️

@Wexter I agree with almost everything you said. And I did touched on the same subjects above. I would have never burnt a bridge with my main employer/client on social media. Sometimes you take the lower fee, I said that too. Sometimes the client pays the high fee. It’s a push and pull in which there are no goods and bads.
But telling me that she just sits and read lines, without training or experience, and comparing her to an everyday employee which get paid less it’s not a fair comparison in any way. And that’s why I’m head butting with some of these guys. Almost everything you said I said it too. but obviously I wouldn’t force you to read all the whole comment section.
You can see that most of the comments come from a jealous approach. What if she finds $4,000 underwhelming? I’m not the one to decide what are her bills or how she sees her talent.
Three facts for me:
1) Platinum was cheap, to be honest, because like you and I said… a $5k or $6k total wouldn’t have hurt Platinum in the slightest. From her viewpoint and financial situation $1k or $2k would have benefited her more than how P* views a $1k or $2k increase. Which takes me to the next one:
2) She should have taken the gig to keep a good business relationship with them and take the hit to secure more future projects.
3)She shouldn’t have taken to social media like that.

Those are the indisputable facts.

@Wexter totally, and that’s what goes into the negotiations. I already mentioned what you’re saying a few comments up.

I’m a big Platinum fan… but what gets me mad is that people fail to see why others see $4,000 usd as a low option. Just because they don’t understand how freelancing works. They all come from a perspective of an employee saying
“I wish I could do $4k because my 120 hour a week pays me half… so she must be selfish.”
Which is a totally false and incorrect assumption.

@GameOtaku that’s a fallacy. We don’t even know nor I care if she sells pictures of her butt on the internet as a side job. That’s totally irrelevant. As I explained countless times now… when you work as a freelance you’re not subjected to ANY industry standard payment, because if they all charged the same, what would be the difference from a wage? Duh
As a freelancer you negotiate on the value of your talent. She did ask them what was the value of her talent and they came up with that number. She didn’t agree… and then we don’t know what happened on the negotiations.
Just because you think $4,000 usd is too much, doesn’t mean that she values her skills as you do. That’s the beauty of leaving the grind.
As I said, I’m from Mexico and even I can get that amount in a good month and I’m not the main star in a million selling video game. 🤦‍♂️

@GameOtaku so, just because she’s got a better job than you she must downgrade her payment to the average Joe?

LMAO…. Talk about a socialist agenda.

And no, you don’t understand what goes into the freelance workforce because you are comfortable from your perspective as an employee. Doesn’t mean that we’ve got to lower our payments just because you agreed to the employer’s contract. That’s on you and solely you.

If you don’t want to take the risk as a freelance, don’t take it. But don’t complain about the people who DID take the risk and get paid a lot more than you do.

@GameOtaku sigh…. You learnt nothing from our conversation 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Hope you never quit your job because you won’t make it out alive leaving the employee cog-machine

@Spider-Kev how do you know she has an agent?
Lol the assumptions 😆

And what do you mean “she doesn’t have to do anything besides pay her agent?”

Mark Hamill would be telling you to get out of the room immediately. LMAO

@GameOtaku ok, didn’t know that. However I don’t think autographs are in no one’s negotiations about their payment for work.
Doing work doesn’t guarantee you’ll have an active fan base asking you for autographs.
Imagine if someone would come up to you and tell you “I’ll pay you low x BUT you’ll get to charge for autographs ”
Its obvious there wouldn’t exist a need to continue those talks.
SHE charges for those autographs, it’s not part of Platinum’s deal.

What I mean, is the fact that even if you have more sources of income, doesn’t mean that the initial offer wasnt low. Platinum doesn’t need to know if she sells pictures of her butt on the internet or autographs to get more money for her living

@Azuris gotta agree. I always feel there’s an amicable sweet spot in business negotiations. I agree with your position about the rant. I would NEVER go on social media and rant about my clients payments like that… why? Because that’s my living. I would have tried to settle this in a more diplomatic manner. Doesn’t mean the initial offer wasn’t low though.

@Azuris totally agree with you on that man. Let me be clear, I don’t agree with her call to boycott… or even those videos, or throwing the new VA under the bus.

However people seem to miss the point of it all. The initial offer was low and can’t be compared to your experiences as employees on a daily wage.

Now, if she decided to take it to social media, that was her mistake….. but I understand where she is coming from.

Almost all the comments, like the one below are “wish I could make $4,000 usd for 16 hours of work, why should her?”
Yeah, we all do.

Let me put it in another light. Rarely, but Sometimes I make more than that, in a good month of freelance work… and I live in damn Mexico… AND I’m not the main star of a million selling video game franchise. 🤷‍♂️

Does that mean I’m rich? Definitely not, because other months I make waaaay less than that.

That’s how I know it is low.
