Some of these just need work shopped a bit and they would make great pokemon. Such as my new favorite mon, Yetoth https://ibb.co/DLL725Y

Still playing 3. The motion controls for the game make it super fun. Miss games that actually used the special features of the controllers. Can't even get 1st party games to use the HD Rumble on the JoyCons.

@thiz- ...they're making fun of the IGN Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire scores. "7.8 Too much water"

30 hours of game time and still no shiny turtwig starter. pain

@Bolt_Strike You're right. It's been so long I forgot. I also probably just used an AR code to start the game with one. Just another example in their long list of terrible decisions.

Does anyone know if the level up and double class glitches still work?

@Meteoroid I did say they were the outliers. No other Pokemon game has done this and I can only hazard a guess why. Probably something to do with AI programing being harder if they want them to be more competent. I don't think that would be easy to do now that there's 900 pokemon to strategize with. Look at Yu-Gi-Oh games on the DS. Some turns could take 3-5 minutes for the computer to make a move cause they had to parse every option they had available. This would infuriate Pokemon players to no end. I can see why they don't, but they still have proven they CAN, and that they can do it well. And they haven't said why, they just buried it under the rug and never talk about.

@Meteoroid Black and White 2 both had difficulty sliders that were unlockable bonuses from the first 2 games. Almost everyone I've ever heard or read from enjoyed this. It made the game have challenge for those who wanted it. Personally I loved it as well. Made me focus on teambuilding and I had to pay attention during fights and plan accordingly. It's a weird outlier cause everyone said, "yes, this is good. more of this pls." and GameFreak said no. It's not so much as the increased difficulty as the option to do so. Why are we denied what is the most basic video game option, the ability to choose difficulty, when they have shown they CAN do it? And they did it well.

Weird how no one mentions the games biggest problem; being tied to the other media forms. The reason these games aren't/will never be as good as they can is cause they have a stupid limited amount of time to make it. They have to match their games to whatever media that's going to release, usually the anime, and it forces them into terrible time constraints that drastically lowers the quality of the games. On the flip side, it is the single highest grossing IP on Earth and I'm not sure why they don't have the main crew focus on the engine and gameplay, so they can then hire teams to work on each Pokemon model and move-set animations. They keep their main studio at what, 200 people max? They have the money to afford more people to make the games better and they don't. Just seemingly terrible executive decisions all around.

I'm really glad the Pokemon announcer took lessons from Nicolas Cage in annunciation.

@Jmjfrank I played it back when patch 3 or 4 happened and I'm pretty sure I 100% completed it. Loved it front to back. Had a few hiccups near the end but other than that it was FUN.

@Thatsalie One of the simplest ways to put it is contractually. Since all old legal documents would mention them as Vicarious Visions studios, they now have to remake the contracts and they don't even have to be present for it. New contracts could destroy them in a myriad of ways and the new contracts could be signed by a new head of "Blizzard Albany" instead of whomever leads the group currently which may...will not be in the best interests of those devs. Obviously personal contracts have to be signed as well but that's a mute point when the head no longer cares what happens to any employee.

IF, and that's a big if, Nintendo were to include the DLC as a bonus and it was yours forever, plus they kept rotating which DLC was available (AC 1st, then Pokemon, Hyrule Warriors, etc) then this would be a good deal.
They're not going to do that because that would be good for us. And it feels like Nintendo has joined the likes of Activision and EA with hatred and mockery of their fanbases.

Just want to point out to people, when they remastered the first 2 games they had lost all the source data for KH1/2. So they had to redo almost everything from scratch when they made the remaster otherwise the file size would have been smaller. I still don't agree with the cloud versions so I won't be buying them. Part of the problem also lies with Nintendo and not having an upgraded Switch (pro, 2, etc) since most companies don't want to make Switch versions of games like during the Wii days. And because so many of the companies nowadays only want to focus on "teh graphics" the switch keeps falling farther and farther behind when it comes to 3rd party. I want to play some modern games on my switch not just 10 year old rereleases from the 360/PS3 days.

I want to support it cause Bomsae looks like a prinny/chicken hybrid but the comments have me worried.

So Mai is the probably the ancestor to Marley who shows up in DPPt. I hope they find a way to touch up on things like that in the game. Like some sort of story element.

@TromaDogg In their defense, it 𝘸𝘢𝘴 WWE 2k18 they were porting. When Yukes got the boot to save money the games straight up became broken trash.

I thought it said Space Jiggler. Commence the jiggling.

This comments section is like 2020, a dumpster fire full of exploding spiders. Difference is, is that this was funny. And I want to point out that it was completely legal in the USA, to own, violate, and kill other humans up to about 1865ish. Just cause it's a law doesn't make it right.

Having seen the differences I can safely say the first trailer looks better. I just finished Link's Awakening for the Switch and then the 1st trailer dropped. It was great. The enhancements on the models is a lot better but now everything looks washed out and drab. I just wish they could have an option to switch between the 2 "styles."

Just looked on their steam walk-through and you can't date Sir Grand. Not gonna get it now.

Had the page tabbed after your 1st piece on this site. Ordered it immediately when it showed up in my email. Love it so far. The games on the USB drive with the collector's edition are pretty fun. And the music is sublime.

@SwitchVogel That's actually how we found out about the switch. It was the NX and part of Nintendo's 3 Pillars idea. That and the QoL sensor that vanished as mysteriously as it came.

Already got the special edition. Had this book on my radar since y'all posted about it months ago.

Played and beat all of them until Underground and I still have 4 on GCN. It's always fun, even after all these years.

@RupeeClock I agree with you. These are all completely useless unless they infer bonuses to you after getting the medals. Congrats weirdo, you kept bringing tall pokemon into raids so here's a defense boost. Good job swiper, you keep your pokemon alive longer so have a HP boost. Instead they'll just be medals that do literally nothing. I'd bet money that's how they start.

Glad to see Niantic showing how much they hate their player base. There is never a good reason to remove features that benefit your players. Ever.

I like being surprised on games and such. It's fun. I only check out system leaks. System leaks let me know 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 I might need to suplex people at GameStop to pre-order them. Especially since scalpers are trying to ruin every pastime possible.

@Toy_Link Funny you should say that. I read online that they had to use the Vita versions cause they lost the source code from the original games.

The biggest problem I have with Amiibo is that they don't do enough. Each one works for like 2-3 games and that's it. And the games barely do anything with them. I want a Subspace Emissary game that plays like Diablo. You could load up your build into your Amiibo and bring it to a friends' house. When they use it, it gets items/money and when you hop on to play, you get what they've earned. Like Dragon's Dogma. That would be something to make Amiibo worth it. I do get why people don't like the paid physical DLC. It's scummy. At least with this DLC though if I no longer need it I can sell it and make some money back.

Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver
Tales of Symphonia
Legend Of Zelda Links' Awakening
Xenoblade Chronicles X
Diablo 3 for Switch

The only "recent" ones were XCX and D3. Exploration in XCX was so much fun and all the customization options from cosmetics to combat to mechs was perfect for me. My friend got me into D3 when it came out on the switch and I immediately sank 150+ hours into it. Otherwise, nothing has come close. Certain games hit high notes like BotW or the latest God of War but didn't completely pull me in like the others. And silly enough, Spider-Man 3 for the Wii is in the top ten cause the motion controls for web slinging were stupid fun.

Just want to make 2 points about this article;

1) I don't know how many of y'all have been on the internet, but most of it is run by algorithms now. And for search engines, and I'm really, REALLY, simplifying this, the biggest factors are essentially tiers and filters. Imagineer, a company that most won't know or have forgotten about, low tier. Very low tier. Nintendo on the other hand, global giant that they are, highest tier. If you want traffic to your site, especially from search results, mentioning Nintendo will do infinitely more than mentioning Imagineer. And, we'll revisit this point in a second cause

2) If you don't let people know there's a problem, how is it supposed to be fixed. If my computer just bursts into flames, I'm not going to go "Why can't I do my spreadsheets?" I'm going to the boss and telling them, "Hey boss? My computer was ON FIRE!" Cause I'll put it out of course. But until you let the people who can fix the problem know, the problem won't be fixed. Very simple. Which on my first point I was going to say, someone pointed out how the title seemed like "click-bait" because there was no direct reference to the information of the title. Now there's a picture and the tweets are viewable. By letting them know here, they fixed it. So the person who made the emulator is letting people know their stuff was stolen so the problem gets rectified. And reporting it to Nintendo is the smartest move they could make. They are informing them so they can hopefully change things from the top down, that way it doesn't happen again.

Finally, I hope to see an update to this article to see how things progress. This is fascinating to me and I want to see how it resolves.

Really want a new Gundam Musou. They'd need to go back to the original stories they had for 1 & 2 though since, just like Xenoverse taught me, you can only re-watch the same stories so many times before it gets boring.

@Mana_Knight Been a while but if I remember correctly the engine they used was from another game whose IP included the engine. So when the company who owned the IP found out they used it in the 2 BG:DA games, they sued. It's the reason there wasn't a BG:DA3.

Considering the original games caused the company to be sued this is a crazy surprise. I'm probably still going to pick it up even though it is really expensive.

@ImBackBB Nintendo also hired Robot Chicken to make an E3 sketch. The one where the one fan asks for Mother 3 and Reggie promptly lights him on fire.

@wilforce the combat pacing in 3 is chaotic. The first 3 games had an ebb and flow to combat. In 3 everything is just trying to dodge roll to surround you. Next time you play 3 try using a sniper rifle and count how many times enemies dodge your shots.

@duffmmann I also want 3d back. I found it infinitely better than "MOAR graphics!" Personally as long as whatever upgrade they make has stable 30-60 FPS no matter what, I'm cool with it.

As soon as they have the SNES or Super Famicom color buttons I'll get one. Until then it looks...generic.

@carlos82 @NESlover85 Thanks. I'll pick up a few.

Do they ship to the US?

While I'm not huge into the genre I'm really feeling the music. Might get the game just for that.

Honestly, this game should belong on the 3DS. Not because of graphics or anything, but because it would look really good in 3D.

But will it have the super cool collector's edition? No. Only Japan gets the good stuff.

Only time I have any problems is playing import games or older RPGs when X is back and O is confirm. Otherwise every controller hasn't a different feel and texture to them so I know immediately where buttons are.

In the 4th paragraph is it supposed to say "confound" us further?

What about those of us in the states? I want the deluxe versions and they always skimp on us over here.

SMT: DemiKids. Light and Dark versions. Has some heavy difficulty spikes per every SMT game but it's a little simpler than others. It's like if a Pokemon trainer was isekai'd to literal hell. Has branching evolution paths for your starter monster and all the usual SMT things; compendium, fusions, bargaining. I love it and still have a copy of Dark version.

They're missing Shining Force: Resurrection of the Dark Dragon which is one of my favorite games.

@rockodoodle Exactly. And it sucks. On the upside, there's like what, 4 Wii U games left they can port? Then they have to either start going through GameCube/Wii games or start making actual new games. At least it's been a decade since those games came out. They'll feel a little more fresh than Tropical Freeze or Mario 3D World.
