As this man has entered past the 60 year old threshold of life, so, too, has the franchise of The Legend of Zelda passed the threshold of $60 for a game.
It’s really more of a question in general. If Nintendo has this mega franchise and these under skilled developers then they should do something about it if they are taking ownership by apologizing
Gamefreak/The Pokémon Company have been making this game exclusively for Nintendo since the start… Nintendo even has their company name on the side of the game case, alongside the company as the publisher on the update screen, and they often list it among their million sellers at quarterly and annual market reports.
Nintendo presidents that are the ones apologizing for the release of a this game in a messy state in their home platform, not Gamefreak or The Pokemon company.
They clearly took ownership over the issues. They also have the rights to this game and it is one of their premier franchises.
Surely they (Nintendo) could loan these “trivial/horrible” programming companies/programmers like Gamefreak and The Pokemon Company some of their heavy hitters.
I don’t know about your thoughts on how easily these companies are connected despite having different buildings and locations, but that seems like a simple thing they can do… especially considering they have done things like this for third party companies like Platinum.
Simply put, they have been aware of these issues since launch. Their respective branch presidents have all posted about the awareness in social media. They have promised to fix them.
These companies are multi-million dollar companies with some of the best programmers in the world. They have had several months where they could get some of the better people in there to address some of the issues.
Getting rough? Every generation… EVERY generation had had its random odd design or weirdo Pokemon in it. This is nothing new.
Gen 1- Balls and Magnets Gen 2- Dunsparce and Unknown Gen 3- Heart Fish and Math Mice Gen 4- Balloons and Bells Gen 5- Cryogonal, Garbage and Ice Cream Gen 6- Keychain and Coal Gen 7- Bruxish and all the unholy Wormhole things Gen 8-Apple, Tea, Cream, Perfume
I absolutely think there should be shrines again; it would be a good way to upgrade health/stamina/ammo and such.
Maybe have 8 large-scale dungeons with unique items/perks that help you traverse the world more, but definitely give the people a reason to explore the world!

Re: Talking Point: With One Month 'Til TOTK, What's Left For You To Do In Zelda: Breath Of The Wild?
On Normal difficulty I’m 100%…. On Hero Mode I’m roughly 75%… need to do Korok Seeds and get the Boss Medals and some amiibo armor stuff still.

How is it running better than Scarlet and Violet? And with a better frame rate!?

I took my daughter to see it today. She was very excited and I smiled pretty much the whole movie. They did a great job!

Re: Nintendo Download: 30th March (North America)
@Nanami_Ataraxia
The quietness (“drought”) this year compared with previous years leads me to speculate that something major is at play here.
This feels like the end of an era and the quiet rumblings of the dawn of a new.
I wonder with all this quietness what might be just over the horizon.
Re: Nintendo Download: 30th March (North America)
@Nanami_Ataraxia
I have over 350 switch games…. I also have a problem.
Re: Nintendo Download: 30th March (North America)
Nothing. Nada. Zip. Zero.
Seems like good Switch support has passed.

Re: Shovel Knight Dig 'Fate And Fortune' Free DLC Update Announced
Isn’t there DLC for the other Shovel Knight game that came out before this (not the original Kickstarter one, the OTHER one)?
Re: Legendary Zelda Producer Eiji Aonuma Has Turned 60 This Week
As this man has entered past the 60 year old threshold of life, so, too, has the franchise of The Legend of Zelda passed the threshold of $60 for a game.
Woe to the day this man turns 70…
Re: River City Girls 2 Is Getting A Performance Update On Nintendo Switch
@Switch_Pro
BotW, XC3, Witcher 3, Pokémon Legends all ran fine and had open worlds (or areas).
Don’t believe it can’t be done.

RiverCityGirls2 does what Poke(mon)don’t.
Re: Streets Of Rage 4 Gets A Massive Update, Here Are The Patch Notes
Too bad Pokémon updates are all like:
“Fixed one random glitch.” Releasing at the end of 5 months.

Re: Countdown: 3DS eShop Spotlight - Dillon's Rolling Western
It really is too bad that Dillon never made his way over to the Nintendo Switch. This and the Pushmo series never made the jump over. Unfortunate

Let me “tease that out” a bit for you…
Gamefreak/The Pokémon Company have been making this game exclusively for Nintendo since the start… Nintendo even has their company name on the side of the game case, alongside the company as the publisher on the update screen, and they often list it among their million sellers at quarterly and annual market reports.
Nintendo presidents that are the ones apologizing for the release of a this game in a messy state in their home platform, not Gamefreak or The Pokemon company.

Re: Pokémon Scarlet & Violet Version 1.2.0 Is Now Live, Here Are The Updated Patch Notes
@Dom_31
Not looking for a “verbal pissing contest” here.
Simply put, they have been aware of these issues since launch. Their respective branch presidents have all posted about the awareness in social media. They have promised to fix them.
These companies are multi-million dollar companies with some of the best programmers in the world. They have had several months where they could get some of the better people in there to address some of the issues.
You’d think they would prioritize that.
Re: Pokémon Scarlet & Violet Version 1.2.0 Is Now Live, Here Are The Updated Patch Notes
Here is what was not updated along with this patch:
All performance issues.
Re: Pokémon Scarlet & Violet's DLC Will Have "Over 230 Familiar Pokémon"
It will also come with “over 400 new glitches and bad frame rates”.
Re: Pokémon Scarlet & Violet DLC, The Hidden Treasure Of Area Zero, Coming Later This Year
So glad they are doing a expansion pack for this game!
Re: Countdown: Wii U eShop Spotlight - Pushmo World
Honestly this, the Remix series and Dillon’s Rolling Western should have made the Switch leap, but unfortunately haven’t at all….
Re: Sky: Children Of The Light Lands New Update, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
Still haven’t fixed the garbage game icon, I see. Always vague and trashy.
Re: Talking Point: Why Are So Many Remasters Sub-Par At Launch?
Not sure about “so many”… Metroid Prime just set the bar really high.
Why are so many 3rd Party company remasters so sun-par is the better title.
The answer is lazy moneymaking
Re: Metroid Prime Remastered Physical Pre-Purchase Live On Nintendo Store (US)
Go to Best Buy. They have it physical and it’s release day arrival!
Amazon has lost its edge.
GameStop is a dumpster fire.
Re: New Limited-Time Pokémon Scarlet & Violet Distribution Event Announced
@HXLXIII
Same. Just because I said they are odd design choices doesn’t mean I don’t like them.
Funny that you and a few other people completely read into that statement.
I literally said, “odd design choices or weirdos” not “I hate them and wish they never existed”.
Re: New Limited-Time Pokémon Scarlet & Violet Distribution Event Announced
@WallyWest
It really does; I am excited to see what else they may possibly have in store for Pokémon Day… not too far off now…
Re: Splatoon 3 Reveals Expansion Pass Wave 1 Launches Later This Month

Re: Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Story DLC Teased, Volume 4 Out This Month
This DLC is exactly the closure the franchise needed! The way 3 ended was a flop and this will completely redeem the ending of the trilogy!
Re: Nintendo's Share Price Takes A Hit Following Latest Financial Report
@Bizzyb
Mmm… ok.
I guess investors wouldn’t really care if big, new game announcements that become major system sellers wouldn’t really matter much.
Thanks for your perspective!
Re: Nintendo's Share Price Takes A Hit Following Latest Financial Report
Yes, and after today’s Direct they will be right back as though nothing ever happened.
In other news… the sky is blue and the grass is green.
Happy Direct Day!
Re: Minecraft's Latest Update Is Now Live, Here Are The Full Patch Notes

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
Xenoblade Chronicles 3

And maybe a small surprise here or there.
