The trailer was intriguing and I'm so glad that they're at least trying to do something different with Pokemon. However, I'm also worried that the game might still be in a rough state once it releases. With all the merchandising, anime, etc that goes into Pokemon, there's no way they'd delay this game even if it needed it.
Hopefully new games will also be available on the original Switch, and there won't be any Pro exclusives. I'm unwilling to upgrade to a slightly improved Switch.
Just as I was getting close to being finished with this game, there's yet more content to keep me going. Crimson Glow Valstrax looks tough, but that should be a fun quest.
Maybe. These look interesting and I want to encourage more of these sorts of games. But at the same time, I've already got a few visual novels in my backlog that I ought to play, as well as others that I'd like to buy.
I'd prefer a brand new game instead of adding DLC to MK8D. That's mainly due to me not owning MK8D (I have the Wii U game, and can't justify double dipping on it).
New tracks would be great to have in MK9, but I'd also like to see them evolve the series somehow. Not sure what the next big advancement of the series could be though. A story mode or other gameplay modes like what Crash Team Racing had would be great.
Oh wow, this is a cool announcement. Hopefully they can get the bright balance of having lots of freedom in terms of designs, without being too complex to use.
I prefer CIB because it's more likely to be genuine. The condition of the box doesn't matter too much for me. Getting the manual is great too, as I'm one of those weird people that actually reads them before playing a game.
I'll pass on it for now. It looks fine, but there's too many other games that I'm more eager to play. I did like Bravely Default and Bravely Second, but wasn't blown away by either of them.
I liked Bravely Default and Bravely Second, but didn't think they were that great or anything. As Bravely Default 2 sounds like it's playing it safe and being more of the same, I'll pass on this for now as there's other games I'm more eager to play.
They look interesting, though it's hard to tell from trailers if the story and writing will be any good. Anyway, these games are ones to watch out for.
Long sword and great sword are fun, but I've never been keen on the hunting horn. It's great in multiplayer to buff everyone, but I tend to play solo. Hammer and insect glaive are my favourites.
Cloud gaming isn't something that I'm willing to get into right now, but I'm having a lot of fun with the non-cloud version of Hitman 3 on another platform. Glad to see that this game is a success for IOI.
Team Super Mushroom. Invincibility wears off too quick, whereas the super mushroom let's go be tall forever, at least until you get hit by a gomba or stub your toe or something.
D/P were excellent back in the DS days. I'm not optimistic about the next mainline pokemon games (whether they're D/P remakes or something else), but I'll hold off judgement until we see the games.
I'm interested, but £50 seems a bit steep for what's likely to be a fairly short on-rails shooter. If any retailers are selling copies at closer to £40, then I'd probably bite.
I've not payed much attention to their recent videos, since I'm planning on buying the game regardless. That way, the new things are more of a surprise once I get the game.
With that said, I'm not one to say no to a livestream or a demo.
With the long wait between the announcement and new info, I am concerned that it could be going through development hell. Hopefully it'll be as great as the first two games when it releases, but I am worried about it.

Re: Feature: A Perfect Metascore? We Play The Switch Game "Better Than Zelda: Breath Of The Wild"
It's not one I've heard of before. As it's a well regarded visual novel, I'd likely enjoy this.

Re: Rumour: Nintendo Switch 'Pro' Reveal Expected Before E3, Out This Year
Hopefully new games will also be available on the original Switch, and there won't be any Pro exclusives. I'm unwilling to upgrade to a slightly improved Switch.
Re: Here's Your First Look At Pokémon Brilliant Diamond, Shining Pearl And Legends: Arceus' Boxarts
That Legends boxart is gorgeous.
Re: Monster Hunter Rise Version 3.0 Launches Today With New Ending And More
Just as I was getting close to being finished with this game, there's yet more content to keep me going. Crimson Glow Valstrax looks tough, but that should be a fun quest.
Re: Talking Point: amiibo Have Always Been Physical DLC, Skyward Sword HD Is No Different
Just because it's nothing new doesn't mean it's alright. I think the complaints about this amiibo are fairly well deserved.
Re: Poll: The Famicom Detective Club Games Are Out Today On Switch, Are You Getting Them?
Maybe. These look interesting and I want to encourage more of these sorts of games. But at the same time, I've already got a few visual novels in my backlog that I ought to play, as well as others that I'd like to buy.

Oh wow, this is a cool announcement. Hopefully they can get the bright balance of having lots of freedom in terms of designs, without being too complex to use.
Re: Does Your Copy Of Pokémon Omega Ruby And Alpha Sapphire Still Work?
My copy of Alpha Sapphire works fine, though I have previously noticed that it struggles to detect my Pokemon Sun cart these days.
Re: Poll: New Pokémon Snap Is Out Today On Switch, Are You Getting It?
Maybe at some point, but I'm in no rush to play it.
Re: Talking Point: Do You Miss Instruction Manuals?
I always thought that I was the only one who read the instructions before playing a game.
Re: Monster Hunter Rise Version 2.0 Launches Very Soon, Adds Monsters, Quests and More
Nice. Additional monsters to hunt is a welcome addition. And Chameleos is a great monster.
Re: Guide: Upcoming Nintendo Switch Games And Accessories For April And May 2021
Might get New Pokemon Snap, depending on reviews and stuff. Also interested in Shin Megami Tensei III, but probably won't get it straight away.
Re: Talking Point: Are You A 'Complete-In-Box' Or 'Loose Cart' Retro Gamer?
I prefer CIB because it's more likely to be genuine. The condition of the box doesn't matter too much for me. Getting the manual is great too, as I'm one of those weird people that actually reads them before playing a game.
Re: Review: Monster Hunter Rise - A New Apex For Capcom's Beastly Franchise
Good stuffs. It's going to be a fun weekend once my copy arrives.
Re: A Kid Icarus: Uprising Sequel Would Be "Difficult", Says Masahiro Sakurai
Uprising was great. The 3DS controls were a bit awkward though, so I think this game would benefit greatly from a port or remaster.
Re: Video: Check Out This Unboxing Of The Monster Hunter Rise Collector's Edition
That's quite a nice edition. The standard version is good enough for me, so I'll stick with that.
Re: TY The Tasmanian Tiger 2: Bush Rescue HD Gets A New Switch Launch Trailer
It looks fine. The first one was more of a traditional 3D collectathon, and I do love collectathons, so not sure if I'll like the second one as much.
Re: Later Alligator Is Streaming Tomorrow To Celebrate The Launch, With Guest Stars
Neil Cicierega is great. Brodyquest is my favourite of his stuff. Smallbu's Baman & Piderman series was also fairly good for the time.
Re: Monster Hunter Rise Is Getting A Soundtrack CD Featuring Over 100 Songs
The newest version of Mizutsune's theme was wonderful in the demo. Now the big question remains: will they also remix Khezu's iconic theme?
Re: Some History About ILCA, The Japanese Studio Working On The Pokémon Diamond And Pearl Remakes
If they helped out with Yakuza 0 and Nier Automata, then they're alright in my books.
Re: Poll: Bravely Default II Is Out Today On Switch, Are You Getting It?
I'll pass on it for now. It looks fine, but there's too many other games that I'm more eager to play. I did like Bravely Default and Bravely Second, but wasn't blown away by either of them.
Re: The Pokémon Company Reveals Top 30 Pocket Monsters, According To Japanese Twitter Poll
That poll has a distinct lack of Moltres, or any bird-like legendary for that matter.
Re: Review: Bravely Default II - An Excellent Old-School JRPG That's Happy To Play It Safe
I liked Bravely Default and Bravely Second, but didn't think they were that great or anything. As Bravely Default 2 sounds like it's playing it safe and being more of the same, I'll pass on this for now as there's other games I'm more eager to play.
Re: Blizzard Arcade Collection Announced For Nintendo Switch, Out Today On The eShop
The Lost Vikings is great. I used to play a lot of the GBA port.
Re: After 33 Years, Famicom Detective Club Is Finally Coming To The West
They look interesting, though it's hard to tell from trailers if the story and writing will be any good. Anyway, these games are ones to watch out for.
Re: Nintendo Reveals Splatoon 3, Coming To Switch In 2022
It does feel too soon, but 2022 is a long way away. I'll probably be eager for more Splatoon by then.
Re: Video: 11 Great 3DS Games Overshadowed By The Nintendo Switch
I still play my 3DS from time to time. Some day I'd like to find the time to play Persona Q2, Monster Hunter Stories, and Etrisn Odyssey Nexus.
Re: Yooka-Laylee Developer Playtonic Games Teases New Reveal Coming "Soon"
The Yooka-Laylee games were quite fun. I'd like for their next game to be a 3D platformer.
Re: Capcom Reveals The Most Used Weapon In The Monster Hunter Rise Demo
Long sword and great sword are fun, but I've never been keen on the hunting horn. It's great in multiplayer to buff everyone, but I tend to play solo. Hammer and insect glaive are my favourites.
Re: Pokémon Sword And Shield Become First Entries Since Gold And Silver To Surpass 20 Million Sales
Pokemon sells, and it was on a console that has sold like hotcakes. These games were always going to do well regardless of quality.
Re: Hitman 3 Recovers Its Development Costs Within A Week
Cloud gaming isn't something that I'm willing to get into right now, but I'm having a lot of fun with the non-cloud version of Hitman 3 on another platform. Glad to see that this game is a success for IOI.
Re: Poll: Will You Be Buying The Cloud Version Of Hitman 3 On Nintendo Switch?
Hitman is great, but I don't want to deal with the issues from cloud gaming. I'm picking it up on PS4 instead.
Re: Hideki Kamiya Hopes To Share An Update About Bayonetta 3 At Some Point In 2021
Hope the game ends up being wonderful, though this long wait without any new trailers has me worried that they could be struggling behind the scenes.
Re: Reminder: Splatoon 2's Mario-Themed Splatfest Takes Place This Weekend, Pick Your Power-Up
Team Super Mushroom. Invincibility wears off too quick, whereas the super mushroom let's go be tall forever, at least until you get hit by a gomba or stub your toe or something.
Re: Can You Name These Pokémon?
10/12. Dartrix and Lapras were where I messed up.
Re: Rumour: Pokémon Diamond And Pearl Remakes Will Be Revealed For Switch Next Month
D/P were excellent back in the DS days. I'm not optimistic about the next mainline pokemon games (whether they're D/P remakes or something else), but I'll hold off judgement until we see the games.
Re: New Pokémon Snap Pricing, File Size And Other Key Details Revealed
I'm interested, but £50 seems a bit steep for what's likely to be a fairly short on-rails shooter. If any retailers are selling copies at closer to £40, then I'd probably bite.
Re: New Pokémon Snap Scores April Release Date On Switch, Watch The New Trailer Here
That's an impressive trailer. It's packed full of charm, and looks great visually.
Re: Sega To Share "Something Special" In Its First Live Stream Of 2021
It's been a little while now since the Dreamcast was released, so they're probably getting ready to announce their new next gen console.
Re: Random: Someone At Nintendo Keeps Writing The Word "Embiggen" In Scripts
I always assumed it was a real word. Didn't know that The Simpsons made it up.
Re: Niantic Is Giving Eight Lucky Pokémon Go Players The Chance To Be An In-Game Character
I'm a big fan of the legendary birds, so that no legendaries restriction is a tough one for me.
Guess I gotta figure out who my fourth, fifth, and sixth favourite 1st gen pokemon are.
Re: Monster Hunter Rise "Digital Event" Promises New Details And Reveals On January 7
I've not payed much attention to their recent videos, since I'm planning on buying the game regardless. That way, the new things are more of a surprise once I get the game.

Re: Top Hat Studios Issues Statement Regarding Demands To Censor Sense - A Cyberpunk Ghost Story
First I've heard of this game, but it sounds interesting.
Re: Capcom To Share "Brand-New Information" About Monster Hunter Rise This Month
I forgot that a demo was arriving this month. That's going to be fun.
Re: Hideki Kamiya Says Bayonetta 3's Development Is "Going Very Well"
With the long wait between the announcement and new info, I am concerned that it could be going through development hell. Hopefully it'll be as great as the first two games when it releases, but I am worried about it.
Re: "Steamy" Otome Visual Novel Bustafellows Is Coming To Switch Next Year
Looks good. I ought to play more otome games.
Re: Random: Miyamoto Confirms That He Is, In Fact, Mario And Luigi's Father
These kinds of utterly random and funny trinkets of news are always so uplifting.
Re: Feature: What Can We Expect From Pokémon’s 25th Anniversary?
I've got low hopes, but who knows. Perhaps they'll amaze us.
