@MysteriousMudkip you would have a hard time figuring out which game all new Pokemon would be from? This doesn’t make any sense to me.

@PushMyGran86 Even shinies used to be a once in a lifetime event. Now they hand them out like candy.

@ShadLink Counterpoint: They made a Mario game without Mario. Wario Land. It was great.

I always try to make an effort to use a team of Pokemon I’ve never used before whenever I play a new title in the franchise. This doesn’t necessarily mean only new ones introduced in that game, but I will still try to include them.

When Sword and Shield was announced as not having the full roster, I was on Team Upset. However, now I’m beginning to agree that the dex has become fairly bloated and something needs to be done. I’m going to take the all or nothing stance here and say that they should start fresh with an all new roster. My reason behind that is that when they start trimming Pokemon out, they’ll inevitably upset some players because that was their favorite ‘mon. By starting fresh, nobody will feel targeted and expectations will be reset.

I hope they have voice acting, though I’ll begrudgingly accept none if there isn’t any.

I’d love to see them actually animate scenes instead of fade to black sound effect actions happened.

The best thing they can do for this game is spend more time on it. I’d be happy if it was a Winter ‘27 release. Put in the effort guys. Make this the best Pokemon game.

“All new music” is a pretty huge red flag. I hope the can elaborate on that.

@Mommar likely not. There was a smaller cabinet version of the game that used only one screen and is the path of least resistance (plus makes the most sense for consoles), so I expect them to use that version.

@Vyacheslav333 a lot of “you’re holding it wrong” type of comments.

I was going to buy this no question except I just happened to be playing another game at the moment and hadn’t gotten around to opening the eshop before these stories started breaking. Now I shall continue to wait until they fix it (if they fix it).

@Anti-Matter They did Ceruledge’s shiny form dirty.

I won’t be buying this because I already have Let’s Go Eevee, but I don’t hate that it exists. We should always celebrate more options to play older games, even if the value proposition doesn’t make sense to some people. I just hope Gamefreak and Nintendo don’t expect this to pull New Pokemon Game sales numbers.

I do think it should also be available as part of the NSO sub in addition to this, but I could see how that would eat into sales at a time where Nintendo is in a good financial position and doesn’t necessarily have to play to the customers.

That’s a much larger amount of NES results than I was expecting. I thought there would be a much more even spread or skewed more towards newer access methods, given that the Nintendo brand tends to be portrayed as this younger audience brand.

I’m honestly not expecting much and I’m still prepared to be disappointed. Honestly, the best thing I could hope from this is that Gen 10 or whatever is pushed out another year or two to ensure it’s properly polished and the best experience it can be. I’m tired of the rush jobs.

@LastFootnote I could never put my finger on why I didn’t like any of the other Wario Land games beyond the first. This finally made it click in my brain. You’re absolutely right. That’s also why I seemed to have more fun with the VB Wario game than any of the others.

I don’t think this thing shouldn’t exist. It’s a cool little niche trinket that would look good on a display, even if retro enthusiasts would be more interested in a fully authentic reproduction rather than a barely functional mimicry.
My issue is that it’s an extra purchase on top of an extra purchase on top of an expensive purchase. It’s a hardware accessory that requires a subscription to use. Lastly, there’s no reason why VB games require this thing. Every game I’ve played had the 3d element being a neat addition, but not required.

This SHOULD have been an OPTIONAL accessory, not a required one.

@Sylamp
A beginner can probably button mash their way through most of the early game. I haven’t played the second half of the game yet, so I can’t comment on that.
But there’s also plenty of room to take advantage of the game’s systems that are harder to master.
Perhaps someone with more experience can offer additional insight.

This is a much needed improvement. Some of the opening sequence elements appeared to be running at sub30 in the original (Switch) version while the new 60fps version seemed to be consistently 60fps. There were also some other visual improvements beyond fps that I noticed, which is a huge plus.

@The_Nintendo_Expat
Marketing departments around the world: “Why yes, we will continue to misuse and stretch the definition of words to sell stuff!”

Best piece of news I’ve seen all month.
(Insert M.Bison ‘Yes! Yes!’ gif)

I hope that D-pad functions better than it looks.
Other than that gripe, this looks awesome.

I played almost every VB title including unofficial titles on the 3DS and my takeaway was that the 3D effect was nice, but unnecessary. I couldn’t find a single title that needed the 3D effect to play. The fact that this additional accessory purchase is required for the additional cost expansion pak for the additional cost NSO subscription for a console you spent $300+ is kinda ridiculous. It feels like triple dipping.

@ShadLink That’s certainly a noble stance, but not every old game is available to play on retro consoles.

I think everyone has their own line that they draw when it comes to emulation.

@DennyCrane While many emulator proponents will often draw the line at current systems, it has never actually been the case where emulators haven’t been developed because a console is too new. Even so far back as Bleem, they were making emulators for current generation consoles.

I watched the trailer for this and it looks like the Future Adventures of Big Daddy and Little Sister.

(Insert joke about not putting all your eggs in one basket)

I didn’t expect anything less from one of the big publishers like Konami. Any chance to cut costs by charging full price and passing the extra costs on to consumers while offering a worse experience is exactly what I expect from them.

I support the workers and the unions, however a strike with an expiration date doesn’t seem like an effective strategy.

I love it when culture disappears!

Can’t wait for them to actually release this game on cartridge. Until then, it’s vaporware to me.

@N00BiSH VB games play perfectly fine in 2D. Next flimsy justification please.

If Nintendo can release a 2DS with no reduction in the experience, then there’s no excuse for why we need an adapter to play VB games.

As long as it’s not a Game Key Card, I’m in.

@weisske Cardboard tech has come a long way in the years since Labo. You can’t expect last generation cardboard to play the new generation release of even older generation software.

“We’re sorry the expensive piece of cardboard we sold you arbitrarily won’t work. Please purchase our new expensive piece of cardboard to continue enjoying our 30 year old software.”

@MocawNow Unfortunately, unlike most other gambling, we’re all affected by the results of someone else gambling.

@kal_el_07241 Mario Tennis and Mario Kart aren’t Mario games; they’re games featuring Mario. The games colloquially described as Mario games are platformers starring Mario.
Edit: Strangely I cannot delete this comment, only edit it. I didn’t see your latest reply until after I posted this.

This drop, and all the other gaming stock drops, were due to Google demoing ai-game creation. Apparently all the AI bro investors have no actual clue what gamers actually want.

I don’t care if it’s Xenoblade or something else; give me more KOS-MOS.

Seems like it would make a great $20 standalone title for kids and adults who enjoy multiplayer, but a poor upgrade for an existing title you already had to pay full price for, and doesn’t really offer much, if anything at all, for the single player experience.
I think I was right to pass on this one.

@NintendoWife
GameCube is a thing on NSO.

As I’ve stated previously, I won’t buy Metroid Prime 4 until Metroid Prime 2 and 3 are available on the Switch.

There are some really professional looking designs in there, some that are too over designed for a Mega Man game, and some that look like they belong in a different Mega Man franchise, such as X, Battle Network, or Zero.

It’s absolutely ridiculous that Metroid Primes 2 and 3 aren’t on NSO yet.

Wouldn’t want to accidentally see a tit on my Super H*ntai S*x Puzzle console.

I hate when proclaimed collections don’t contain everything. I usually refuse to buy them when they’re missing titles.

Like the Grandia collection having only two games out of 5 (excluding defunct mmo). Thats my favorite series, and yet I refuse to buy it because its missing more than half the games.

It’s truly amazing what technology can accomplish these days.

@Yydeckard I disagree with the logic here. The stereoscopic 3D was a gimmick but is completely unnecessary in practice, but the Virtual Boy itself was a console. It would be like forcing people to buy a GameBoy shell to play GB games on NSO. Completely unnecessary, even if it would be a cool thing to have.
They should let people play the games without an accessory, and make the cool accessory optional.

So long as there is requirement to use a peripheral to play these games, I will never play this games on NSO.

@Polvasti For some people this may be a boon rather than a bane. For me personally, I find the mouse mode often causes more problems for me because of the way I hold my Joycons. It keeps activating while I’m on menus and stuff and stealing the focus away from the normal controls.
