Pokemon has so much potential, but I'm not expecting the Switch games to be a vast improvement. Pokemon games seem to evolve very slowly and gradually.

That's a nice gesture. The new logo is way better.

The Switch has a decent amount of great games so far, but I'm in no rush to grab one just yet. I still own a Wii U, so the ports of Wii U games aren't going to encourage me to get a Switch. Most of the brand new Switch games like 1-2 Switch and ARMS don't particularly appeal to me either.

I imagine that I'll want a Switch eventually, but for now I'll wait until it has more games that really excite me.

@Folkloner It's not the same. As far as I'm aware, there's no games that wouldn't fit on the base 500GB PS4 model.

Nintendo are great at some things, but terrible at other things. This is just yet another problem with the Switch that people are going to have to pay to work around.

32GB internal memory was always a joke in this day and age.

Seems pointless to pay extra for these ones. Once the card is in the console, you're not going to see the card.

@JaxonH I've not bought a Switch yet, and I edited my earlier post since it was confusing people. If XX releases in English, then I'll probably bite and grab a Switch.

@BensonUii Sorry, I should have been clearer. I meant that I'd be very tempted to buy a Switch console if XX got a Western release.

As for when I'll get one, Pokemon Switch has a release date of 2018 or beyond, though I might not wait that long.

Bring XX to the west, and I'll become very tempted to increase the number of Switch consoles sold by one.

(edited since old post was confusing)

Yes. Misty and Brock made the original show for me. I've never cared for Ash.

Screenshots were very handy with it.

Wow, the Switch is doing very well despite my doubts about it. Great to see that it's currently successful.

This game is looking way better than I initially expected. It's still not for me though, since strategic games like this have never appealed to me.

Until they announce otherwise, I'm guessing that this is nothing of significance. As it says in the article, code like this is often left over from experimentation.

The last time I played Dynasty Warriors was back in the PS2 days, so maybe I should give this series another go.

I'm not preordering just yet. So far, they've been very light on details about how these games will be different to regular Sun and Moon.

Sigh. As much as I like Kanto, I wish they'd give the other regions some love too. In X and Y, the player is given Kanto starters with Mega evolutions, and Santalune Forest was a callback to Viridian Forest. Then in Sun and Moon they only gave Alolan forms to Kanto Pokemon.

Just as long as Ultra Sun and Moon have Alolan forms for a variety of past generations, then I'll be happy.

Wow, the Switch version just looks so beautiful compared to the 3DS version. Of course the Switch version was always going to be much better, but it's still great to see the comparisons side by side.

I've said previously that if they released the 3DS and Switch versions in the West, then I'd be fine with the 3DS version and that I wouldn't buy a Switch for this. However, I'm not so sure about that any more.

I was excited for these games initially, but my hype levels are dropping fast. So far, they are not looking that different from Sun and Moon. The Alolan map in this trailer didn't appear to show many changes from the S&M map, and we haven't seen any new Pokemon except for a Lycanroc forme that's only available for a limited time.

If they want to get me excited for Ultra S&M again, then they're going to have to showcase some new areas, have more story details, and show off new Pokemon forms (Alolan forms for a selection of Pokemon from all previous generations instead of focusing on one generation would be fantastic).

Day 1 purchase for me. It's been a while since I've been this excited for a new game.

@nhSnork Assuming that the daily puzzles work in the same way as the previous Layton games, then you can probably download all of the past daily puzzles at any time. So if you grabbed this game a year after launch, then you should be able to download all the puzzles at once.

Nothing for this week. I might grab Sonic Mania eventually, but there's other games in my backlog that are a higher priority.

Finally, a tough choice. It's only a matter of time before I get arrested if I had invisibility, so I'd better go with flight. I could never get bored of flying in the sky, and it would save time getting to work.

I'll confess, I've already taken a few pics with this filter.

It's alright so far. Still doesn't look like the Switch will be getting many of the big AAA 3rd party games. Lack of Monster Hunter Worlds is a big blow.

Healthy competition is always good. It's nice to see the important people of rival companies giving each other occasional praise.

I enjoyed this game on PS4. It was alright, but not amazing. It's not something I'd want to buy again on Switch to play anywhere.

It's on my wishlist, but it'll be tricky to find the time to play it.

Just the Monster Hunter Stories demo for me. I'm still on the fence with that game and there's lots of other things I want to play, so I might not end up buying it.

"Friends When the Numbers Add Up" That subheading sums everything up well. Capcom is a business, so they'll have to follow this philosophy.

Some of their decisions seem bizarre to me though, such as no word on localising Monster Hunter XX or releasing Mega Man Legacy Collection 2 on a Nintendo console.

Well done Mayo, but I still think you're disgusting.

Persona Q was one of those games that I wanted to buy, but never got round to doing. I might be up for this new one.

If the pinball mechanics are great, then I might be up for this.

Not that I have any problems with this, but the game looks boring if it's only about touching anime girls. If there's none of the usual hack and slash fighting, then I'll pass.

They're all so adorable, especially those running ones.

Misty and Brock made the original series for me, I've never cared for Ash. Their omissions has killed most of my hype for this movie.

I'll play the demo as soon as that's available, but I'm not sure yet whether I'll want to get this game.

I'm looking forward to this. Not sure if I want the PS4 version or 3DS version, but I'll probably get the PS4 one.

Some sort of monster hunting game would be great.

Devilish Brain Training is tempting, but I'll pass. I've got enough games to be getting on with.

I played the demo, and this game is not for me. The simplistic gameplay and generic characters put me off this game.

Raw power isn't everything. The Switch can play Breath of the Wild, smartphones can't.

Smash was still the best use of amiibo. Back in the Smash days, it was all about grabbing your favourite character and then personalising it through training.

Now, amiibo is mostly used just to unlock content in games. Some of it is cool, like special outfits. But some things they lock behind amiibo are frustrating, such as difficulty levels.

I'd like see the write function being used a lot more in amiibo, so using it in such a way that requires data to be stored on the amiibo instead of it just unlocking things.

@Fandabidozi I'm mainly playing games. I fail to see what's so bad about being a naysayer. The Switch is doing great. It really doesn't matter much who guessed right and who guessed wrong.

Maybe it's due to the amount of clutter at my place, but I've not been so interested in getting the special edition as I used to. This one is very tempting though.

This info isn't very interesting. There was no way Pokemon would appear before 2018, and they never confirmed a 2018 release date, so there's nothing new here.

Nope, since my New 3DS XL is still working fine. Plus, I actually like the 3D effect.

Make it optional. Let voice chat be accessible through the console itself, and have info like Splatnet viewable on a web browser.

There's some confusion here. If the galleries, difficulty and sound tests can be unlocked normally from completing the game (but earlier on with the amiibo), then that's cool. However, if amiibo are required as well as completing the game to unlock them, then that's annoying.

Locking difficulty settings behind a paywall is always frustrating. And sound tests and galleries are usually free in games (even if effort is needed to unlock them), so charging for these does seem greedy.

Yay, they're not locking single player levels behind the amiibo paywall this time.
