Probably Tepig. Because as a kid I always picked the fire type. As an adult, fire types since they generally dont have many fire types to catch in games. And I wonder if it will end up being Fire/bacon type.

Looks okay. The wild areas seem real tacked on though. I don’t think it’s very wild for these Pokemon to be living on sidewalks and streets.

It’s the only system where I can play wrecking crew and balloon fight.

Well, it’s sort of 4 new games. Remaster is doing some heavy lifting.

It’s possible, but the switch changed how Nintendo looks at releases. Remember when the 3ds had some lovely small releases like pushmo, boxboy or Dillon’s rolling western? The switch didn’t have any Nintendo published games with this more limited scope. I hope those days return, but if they don’t, then I would say no, they cannot keep up a game a month release schedule.

@CovidBarbie You aren’t going to donate these games. I hope your kids do enjoy these games, but no need to lie about your intentions. I also don’t believe you are actually going to buy several copies, but that’s another story.

@BloodNinja I think single battles are fine, and the tweaks over the years help. There are double battles and those change things up considerably. The big problem is that the entire game is single battle focused. With the two versions nonsense, maybe they can try making the other game double battles. It’s not so much the gameplay mechanics that are stale, it’s everything else. The campaign is just such a slog, at least for anything after Gen 5.

@Kevember Pokémon was best on dual screens and HHSS certainly seem to be the peak of the franchise. Personally, I love white and black too but everything after has been a pretty big disappointment. Gen 6 is when I stopped remembering the locations, names of anybody and even some Pokémon as things became stale.

@CovidBarbie Several copies? To support the devs? Why? It’s a freaking remake, at best, your compulsive buying will convince them that they need to make the next mainline game 4 games so people like you might buy all 4 three times to show your support of burning money.

One save file again, I imagine. For reasons that aren’t good, and it’s $60? Same price as what Arcues legends will be. I just hate that pricing is so arbitrary, some games need to be 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 and even 70 if warranted. I bought links awakening for 60, like an idiot. These prices are insane.

Okay, I don’t think I’m getting this. I’m a dad now and this just isn’t giving me $60 of fun. I got burned on let’s go pikachu as that was certainly not worth $60. I get the split gen thing for main games, but now that these are technically on consoles and the price is much higher than the original releases, can they at least make the remakes one game? I would have at least played through let’s go again if I could use the other starter. We know the Pokémon company farmed this one out and from all appearances, it was a quick and low cost remake. Why in the world is every switch release $60 now? I’m done for a while with gaming I guess. Nothing new has sparked me. Maybe it’s just me, but I’m sad that games, even remakes, are so phoned in now.

@Judal27 Depends on the game. I mostly liked the look in links awakening and the art style in advanced wars seems to fit an actual motif, of toy soldiers.

@johnvboy It’s a DS game and it will sell like hot cakes. Visually, as the review states, battles look better but the overworld is more of what you prefer. For example, I think golf story looks great with pixel art, and it wouldn’t be better if it went for the chibi look.
Also, and this is true of any game from the DS era, they haven’t found a good solution for the lack of dual screens so it can be said that the originals will have a superior gaming experience.

@Anti-Matter You are afforded no new opportunities with permanent exp share. To satisfy both you and I, all they needed to do is have it on by default… with an option to turn it off. That’s called a win-win scenario. As is, only some win.

I don’t play animal crossing. I prefer gta 2 more than any other gta game. Therefore, everyone else is wrong.

@KillerBOB You click on these stories and leave comments on them. Reviews for this game are terrible, there’s another story you can complain about.

@BloodNinja I agree. With that said, I can understand why many assumed that ps2 ports would be a walk in the park, slam dunk, etc. In some ways, I wonder if bad press about a terribly optimized release is a marketing strategy at this point. Cyberpunk still sold like crazy and I don’t think that game was purposely that crummy, they just ran out of time. With this trilogy, I’m actually wondering what the heck is going on here. I wonder if this will push GTA 5 sales up for a bit. I certainly wouldn’t be surprised.

I was going to wait regardless as this smells like a game that will be half priced after the holidays. I think it looks okay but it’s much more jarring to deal with the problems listed when actually playing a game instead of just looking at gameplay footage.

I’m more okay with the two versions than I am with charging almost double for remakes. The original games were $35, the price is insane.

What do you call it when someone steals cheese?

Brie Larson.

@Anti-Matter Do you have Fitness boxing 2? It seems up your alley and it’s my go to workout game right now. Very fun and a great workout.

Interesting conversation above about how Atlus used to be able to produce so many games during the 3ds era compared to their output on the switch. I’m probably in the minority but I wish HD never happened, at least in gaming. Games were make frequent and certainly used to take more risks. All well, I’ll go yell at a cloud about this.

This game was the best use of 3D on the 3ds and easily a top 10 on the system for me. With that said, the honor of best game is far and away Kid Icarus Uprising. That actually might be my favorite game, period. Best 3rd party game? I might need to give it to Rhythm Thief but a couple stages did make me want to throw my system due to the finicky gyro required for a couple songs. Wonderful game though.

@JaneBear He’s not much better sitting down.

Lasagna is Italian and so is Mario. Mind blown.

@westman98 Ha. I had the same thought but didn’t see your post. It’s sad that we all seem to talk like idiots these days.

@BTB20 Because of this? ***** using their IP for what appears to be yet another scam? Yeah, innovative.

Anyone who uses simp in a sentence, especially when trying to sell people phony garbage, can go burn in hell.

Not sure who’s coffee costs 4 or 5 bucks a pop, unless you are referring to a latte made by a professional. You know, a tangible product that includes a substance that enhances people’s productivity. I find value in being able to drive up to a coffee shop and buy a coffee to get me through my day. This? These are games that have already made money many years ago. It’s a digital good. Though I do admit, people who are complaining are going a bit overboard. It’s an overpriced service I personally have little interest in. No more, no less.

@SwitchForce Yep, if California ever failed as some wish, our entire country would be screwed. This isn’t even cutting off the nose to spite the face level of stupid. This is like wishing for our country to collapse because of political differences.

@bound4earth Generic character would have been better, I suppose. They did make her too vulnerable in other M, but if a character never shows emotion like previous Metroid games? That’s worse.

Pretty good game. I found it memorable mostly for the unique control scheme. I don’t think it was the best game to implement said control scheme, and I wish other games used it as it was truly fun. Funny enough, taking kid icarus uprising into account, there could have been a really neat on rails shooting leading to 2d and 3D sections using the d pad. Also, the story was okay. Let’s this be a lesson to those that hate this game but want Link to talk in the next Zelda game. Be careful what you wish for.

Wow. Some people really have an axe to grind against the state of California. People like to think coastal types are out to get them. This comment section helps prove otherwise. It’s a wealthy state that has so many industries. That’s the reality. Yes, California has some bad laws and bad people. This is true of any state. Some weirdos here are equating censorship in a game to some made up policy that does not exist. Get a grip, this is so sad when people hate on regions due to their own ignorance.

I would walk 500 miles and I would walk 500 more. That’s it though.

@Wyatt006 All great games, but Splatoon really is a special IP. Shooters just seem silly, funny enough, without all the paint and range based mechanics Splatoon excels at.

@Azuris Probably not compatible, though maybe items will transfer. I love Splatoon 2 but it will be close to 5 years. I think most will move to Splatoon 3

@earthinheritor Well, I think there is a difference between a game that has sexual themes and games that sex is the central theme. I don’t care, mind you, but there would be a difference. Also, many cultures deem sex as more abhorrent than violence. Not that I agree, but it’s not a mystery. Inconsistent in way, but pretty standard that it’s the sex and curse words that get things mature ratings. I could make a game where you are a spaceman who crashes on a planet filled with creatures you command. They are killed while you kill things. I think I’m going to call it Pikeman. Yep. Pikeman.

@shonenjump86 If they replaced the boobs with bunnies with big boobs, it would be fantastic.

I always wanted to finish Zelda 2. I still won’t but I want to.

@victordamazio It’s censorship. In One Piece. And in this boobs game. It’s censorship, as censorship can occur at the private or public level. Is that your point? Of course not. Your point is to point our hypocrisy, which is usually done by people with a bone to pick with something entirely unrelated.

@victordamazio Just because someone else is wrong, as I agree that the person you just replied to is off their rocker, that doesn’t mean that you are correct. Society has a line, and that line is manipulated by all sorts of consortiums.

@victordamazio Uh huh. Deep stuff. Religion bad but no longer the enemy. Progressives are the new bad. Yawn. You must be a libertarian. And male. Though I repeat myself.

Not that this matters, but people seem to confuse 1st amendment protections and censorship. The first amendment only guarantees its protections from government entities. Private citizens and companies are not required to follow this amendment in how they conduct business. It’s more complicated and I’m not using enough words to describe this, but I’m on my phone so there.

Censorship does not only occur on a governmental level. I can censor my playboys at home, if I wish. Censorship can be good or bad, and usually that distinction is in the eye of the beholder.

Bunnies on weekdays. Ladies on weekends. I’m a man of class, after all.

@HefHughner I don’t know why games have to be different than other forms of media. You stream your movies and music, but games are special? It sucks and I would hate to only have the option for cloud gaming, but when used correctly, cloud gaming can and will offer something that your local machine just can’t offer. That was supposed to be the point of cloud gaming at least for the consumer. I would agree that I don’t trust any company to use cloud for wholly consumer benefiting purposes.

I’m not opposed to cloud gaming but the switch just does a terrible job at connecting to the internet. It’s always going to have slower download and upload speeds than practically any other device in your house. If I’m not mistaken, it seems to have a worse WiFi receiver than my 3ds. Cloud is fine, if a device couldn’t play a game natively. So for example Hitman is fine and a good thing. Kingdom hearts isn’t since that is cloud gaming out of laziness and greed. This game? Well, it’s a marvel game and I am so tired of all this superhero crap so it’s not for me. It’s a shame it runs like garbage. To those wondering why this game stinks on cloud but others work well? That should be obvious. The machines this game is actually running on plus the infrastructure used to broadcast the signal back to your system must blow. Please remember that just because something is on the cloud, that doesn’t mean all cloud based applications are created equally.

@BloodNinja The brand name for Activision and Blizzard are at all time lows. They assumed they would not be fully absorbed under new management. I’m not sure how long you’ve worked but any shake up like this gets people worried.

Dang. This stinks. Not unexpected, mind you, with the announcement that they would be a support studio. In hindsight, this should have been seen as inevitable.

With that in mind, the timing is moronic. As if we needed more proof that not only is Activision Blizzard run by scum bags, they are run by very dumb scumbags. They should have waited until next year for this announcement. I suppose I can understand the “in for a penny, in for a pound” philosophy of this decision, but seems to be very poor timing. Though part of this could be Activision looking to downsize and get people to leave voluntarily so they don’t have to provide any severance pay. All in all, Activision is now the worst company in video games. By a long shot.

Nostalgia + 2-d platform fighter = easy money. I don’t even like smash bros so I’m personally uninterested.

This stinks and I think the price for admission is too high. With that said, people are complaining about a lack of fog? That’s silly. Fog was used due to a lack of draw distance. This was likely intentionally removed because who wants mysterious fog blocking the screen?
