Re: Pokémon TCG Pocket Now Has "Over 30 Million Downloads Worldwide"

Like others I have never really knew much about the tcg game so have been enjoying the experience. But I am already seeing a major floor in that I have to rely on luck in order to get all the cards I would like to use in a battle.
In the mainline pokemon games a little grinding would get you all the things you wanted. But I am already being put off with the feeling it maybe ages before I get all the cards I want. I can also see that as soon as I feel I have got the things I want they will just release a load more and I will just feel that way again!

I'm pretty sure I will just end up card collecting for as long as it stays interesting. And there is literally no way I'll spend any real money, stuff that.

Re: Plans To Announce The 'Switch 2' Have Not Changed, Says Nintendo's President

It's on the 14th January!"

Christmas will be a distant memory / nothing else much happeneing / history of directs around that time........
and the biggest reason, it's my birthday!

Oh I just wanted to add that I think we are going to get a couple more annoucements like the game trial and the music app, it seems to me there is lots of these type of things which they want to reveal before so that all the focus will be on the console when they do the reveal.

Re: Mario & Luigi: Brothership Has Reportedly Leaked Online

The more this keeps happening the more the prices from these places will go up, for every penny they spend fighting this is put onto the price the consumers pay. Or maybe think of the reason companies want to go digital or streaming services, yep you can can pretty much guarantee that these hacks lead to these conversations.

Re: Nintendo's Mysterious Switch Online Playtest Program Is Now Accessible

This has to be one of the worst comments sections I have every read. No official news has been released yet it seems that people know varying amounts through leaks, that may or may not be true. Adding to that their review of what they have been told or seen, without exeperiencing it themselves.
Personally I am looking forward to trying something that I know nothing about, and will try and avoid too much more of the negativity.

Re: Feature: "We Tested 60fps In Pre-Production, But The Smoothness Felt Unnatural"

dew12333

@-wc- I have never appreciated art, I find it all a bit fussy and often cannot see the attraction that others do. Similar feelings towards history too funnily enough.

With regards to FPS and how games look in general I just think that games look and work so well. Yes there is always better that can be acheived, but where we are is more than good enough. I do understand complaints if things don't run smoothly or inconsistently, but the small difference that I feel some people seem to want do not impact enough for me to care. Add to that the costs and time to puts on games makers I just don't see the point.

Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For The Nintendo Museum

If I get the chance to go back to Japan then it will be high on my list of places to visit, no matter what these people feel. I imagine being a fan of something like this will make it far more interesting.

And the more computing musuems the better, as this is how we should be doing preservation. If I was being more skeptical I would say Nintendo did this to show people that preservation is not an excuse for emulating.

Re: The First Confirmed 'Switch 2' Game Has Smashed Its Kickstarter Goal

@Serpenterror Before I start I will say that I am from the Uk, as this may vary in different coutries.
I imagine they have seperated the companies, moved some money around, then add in some artistic accounting, all with a goal of putting risk on the backers money, while having there's elsewhere all safe and sound.

UK Buiness in a nutshell!!

Re: Dragon Quest Creator Chimes In On Characters Showing Less Skin In Upcoming HD-2D Remake

We all seem to be throwing an opinion in here which I think is great, and such a wide range of views. A little bit of cancelling which is a shame, it perfectly fine to not agree with someone.

For me the Japanese games market has over sexualized charactors in games for years, and personally I feel it is not neccessary. With regards to censorship I think it just depends on the reasoning, in most cases I think they are commercial decisions and have nothing to do with personel views. If the creators have that much conviction then they shouldn't change things in order to appease censors. If they do then that change is on them.
With regards to gender, that should be what the creator wants it to be, full stop.

Re: Analyst Is Certain Nintendo Will Win Its Lawsuit Against Palworld Developer

dew12333

I beleive this is something that has been coming for a long time now. Not just this Palworld case but in general the Nindie developers have all been pushing the boundries for copying any sucessful games. Look how much we get click baited on 'Look at this 'insert game name' style game', they are all pushing the boundries.
And yes I do know that everyone does this to some degree, but I see far too often it coming from this direction. Little to no innovation or creativity, just a marketing department telling them what it needs to be similar to in order to sell well.

Re: Random: Limited Run CEO Visits Nintendo, Acknowledges "Great" Partnership

@CazSonOfCaz I have had a couple of their gamepads and they both just stopped working after a pretty short amount of time. I didn't really like them when they did work, they seemed light and overall low quality build.
I have seen a few people say goods things about that split pad, but I have small hands so don't really struggle with the joy cons.

I can't talk too highly about the Nintendo controllers for the switch either. I have had the usual issue on a couple of sets of Joy cons, and burned out two pro controllers that just stopped working. Not what I expect from the big N.

Re: Retro-Inspired Pixel-Art Platformer 'BZZZT' Leaps Onto Switch Next Month

dew12333

@Frailbay30 Definatley a fair point, personally I did pixel art when games makers didn't have a choice. Now I feel like it's laziness on their parts and personally I expect more innovation. I know they can't reinvent the wheel every week but with this looking backwards (and marketing) mentallity I don't see a good future for the industry.
I am hoping that Nintendo's next console brings something new and interesting to this bland gaming world.
