@Almighty-Koz see I don't mind motion controls. It's one of the handful of things that seperate Nintendo from my PS4/Xbox. I think it's why I love Nintendo, they're always different and offer different expirences. If I wanted to play a standard shump, I'd pick up my PS4. Nintendo make and publish 'Nintendo' games, I guess if you don't like what they do and how they do it then simply, don't buy into Nintendo.
@Almighty-Koz and as a 6"1 male with big man hands, I've never had an issue with the size of the joycon. I just don't use the puppy dog holder thing that came with it and use them seperatly for other games. Because the game basically uses one button and motion you'll be fine... unless your hands are swelled...
@Almighty-Koz my reasoning is that after actually playing the game in japan, the single joycon feels natural to the way you catch it. And after playing it, it would be very odd to do the same motions with a full pro controller. If the developer made it to suit the joycon, and it works well, and fits the game, why would they then go above to figure out how to it with the pro? It's time and resources not required. Additionally as a pick-up-and-go game it's also not required. It's a hybrid console. Lastly, this is not a main series game, it's a refresher for new players to join, go players to start to learn main game and a spin off for hardcore players in one. They're are plenty of articles and interviews from the developers. Have a look.
A single Joycon is what you play with (hence the simple design/limited control and buttons of the pokeball controller), your second joycon is for your friend. Both have seperate motion controls for catching.
A pro controller (basically 2 Joycons combined) can't work with this configuration along with the way you catch with motion controls, I can't see how that would work or detect correctly with a pro controller.
It simply wasn't made for that in mind. It was made with the ethos is 2 players from day one, and every switch has 2 Joycons.
The fact people are surprised about this I feel like aren't aware of how the game works.
Secondly, so much feedback about how the game has changed. You'd be unhappy either way: if it were the same the complaint would be it's just the same thing bla bla bla, if it changes the complaining is it should be the same bla bla bla ....
I'll await the firing squad for the people who are triggered...
Wii Party Sucked! But I bought it for $20 and it came bundled with a Motion Plus Wii Remote controller. I'm not surprised it was up there with the best games.
Could be anything. Could be a "Travis" anime. Iconic Japanese we think Nintendo in the west but in japan it could mean anything, could even be a new Sonic Series.
It's just a bloody good controller. I haven't gotten a pro controller so I can't compare it to that. I just think the GC controller is one of the most comfortable and easy controllers ever made. I love it. And it's purple man!
There is definitely space for other players.. but we'll play the waiting game for their announcements. Nintendo have a really good relationship with BandiNamco... still crossing fingers for DBZ characters
@LeftyGreenMario yeah I know about the rom thing; was being facetious. I'll still buy the book. I'd personally be honoured if Nintendo used a name I made and made it cannon.
I'll still buy it. I'm over in japan at the moment and it's really frustrating that General words just don't exist in their langusge, so I can see why they might have 'borrowed' or used what fans already love. I'm not fussed. I mean Nintendo copied a rom for a game we all bought on WiiU.. lol
I remember seeing the video and loosing my efmnvoefmvki. I can defiantly see how this influenced Pikmin with 100 independent characters running around and how Mario's gravity worked in galaxy. The Revolution aka The 'Wii' wasn't that far of a leap forward in graphical capability than the GC. I can totally understand
The roster is great. There is no way they can go UP from here. The next game on the next console either won't exisit or will have to completely reboot the franchise
In okay with not having AAA games on switch. Most gamers have a PS4/XB1 or both alongside the switch. Those games are big theatre games that wouldn't be as good in a handheld size, they're games you want to play on the big screen with big Sound
you can set you watch to show a different display when you raise your watch. This person was clever to have custom photos and give the illusion of watch faces. Neat trick 👌🏼
I'd say "no" we don't if we had more demos. Which I know is a pain in the ass for developers but if I'm on the fence about a game, I'll check the score and if it's 6 or lower I won't invest. If I had a demo it might turn out to be my kinda game and I may personally enjoy it and then I would buy it.
And let's be honest, if they launched a VC and charged $9,99 for mario bros and Kirby, we'd pay the $20, complain but still have paid. So it's a bargain really. Still low expectations
It won't be great but it is only $20.... so.... yeah. I'll be subscribing just for the cloud saves really. I think more people have spent more on their DS PokeBox saves
This is a fantastic example why you shouldn't pre-order a game without a release date. GameStop/EB games have had this on pre order for over a year now!
@Paihia lol I'm a 30+ year old gamer who grew up on the NES and game boy. Still don't find it an issue. Maybe because I have big man thumbs I can touch multiple buttons in street fighter without an issue.
If it's on the Pro Controller I will use it but I'm don't have the desire to go out and buy another one.
I'm looking forward to starting with the prequel and a physical release is perfect. If it's good the I'll likely get into xenobalde. The game is huge (so I hear) and ain't no body got time fo dat... or do I?
