@TioRogerio I live in the state capital of Paraná and could barely remember Festa do Peão existed. I'm not against them acknowledging it, I'm against them doing it INSTEAD of doing Festa Junina, which is basically the second-largest Brazil-specific holiday (or at least with a specific regional aesthetic spin on it), bested only by Carnaval. And they WILL do Carnaval (as "Festivale") already, they've done it for years and Pavé was in the Direct.
Super weird! I spent the whole month of June complaining about Father's Day and Children's Day (two celebrations that in Brazil happen in August and October respectively) and now they do a Brazilian festival (also celebrated in Uruguay and Argentina), but it's a very niche and local rodeo style festival I barely know when it's held, instead of doing something nation-wide like Festa Junina ("June Party"), which could've been an easy wall-flag reskin. Oh well, we'll always have our more famous Carnaval (Or Festivale I guess) to look forward to
Yeah, that's the right path to go. They can milk the tetrimino's famous designs as much as they want for the promotional material and actuallly manage to do a compelling story. Might even have some interesting touches regarding the Soviet Union's view of technology and cultural differences between the USA? Ok don't let me get my hopes up, I'm actually getting interested
Nothing for me but I’m glad for everyone excited about the stuff announced. Cyberpunk comes out this year so I’m not too worried about games to play at the end of the year to be honest
@Desrever they never replaced them as the main antagonists for Ash, Butch and Cassidy were in basically ten episodes of the entire anime series combined....
@kingbk @Silly_G @w00dm4n @RCGamer @Angelic_Lapras_King Thanks guys, as a N64/GBC/GBA then 3DS/Switch owner, I guess you can really tell I've skipped some generations. Tomb Raider is still tied to the PS1 in my mind.
I was wondering, thanks! Media coverage and even their ads have been sadly Northen-centric all around, so them calling it repeatedly a "summer update" made me worried I'd have to wait a lot to be a part of it. I have to add that going into te ocean with high boots and a knit cap is possible though, and looks super silly
It also counts beyond a thousand daily jumps, including correcting previous days! That's nice that it was counting all this time even if it didn't show it
Wonderful news and a great step forward for the world. You guys are so lucky, you actually have a government and not a 24h dadaist sketch show like Brazil.
I still wanna play this game and I was ready to buy it until the reviews came in. Games are too expensive for me to pay this steep price. In my opinion, they should've changed the art style from pseud-realistic to full on bright cartoon cel-shaded. It would've worked better with the textures and lightning. I'll say how this new patch goes though, and if it's good enough, I'll definitely support them and buy it. But only then
The game has the weirdest bug: it doesn’t open if my phone isn’t set to English. Apparently it’s an issue in both Android and iOS. I get that it’s not playable in Portuguese, but they could at least let me open the damn thing without changing my whole phone settings? This should be a simple fix, come on
@Jooles_95 I knew there were name shenanigans but I always forgot what it was all about. Thanks for clarifying it! This game looks bad and I'll be sure to steer clear off it.
@ArtiomNLS of course Ring Fit is better, it was made as a long-term exercise program. It's also super expensive, comes with an obligatory accessory and it's super hard to find because Nintendo could never predict a global pandemic would skyrocket it's demand. So, all things considered, it's really nice that they're trying to address this by making an 100% free-to-play alternative.
I'm sticking to Ring Fit solely, but my boyfriend has actually incorporated Jump Rope Challange to his weight workout and he's using it everyday (you can set the jumps to a maximum of 1000 per day and it caps at that, it doesn't count further). It's very nice for what it is: a free game, no ads, to help get you moving.
I was basically that tweet. I selected a whole new team of levels 5-12, went to battle Klara and my level 5 Hidden Ability Grookey from Home got immediately destroyed. Then I reset and redid it all with my regular team, oh well
I had to sit down and started screaming when the camera zoomed in on Pikachu. YES! I'll basically pre-purchase this one as soon as I can, that's my hype level
@tabris95 the shirt is the in-game prize for becoming Champion (that's the reason he has it, after all, and why SPOILER he changes to a different outfit in the battle tower post game ENDOFSPOILERS) But the hat, lycra pants and shoes are new
AND THAT IS RELEASED IN PORTUGUESE! THAT! THIS GAME! I think it's the first first-party Nintendo title available in Portuguese since what, Mario Kart 8? My god we're so badly treated...
as a Brazilian who hates football, this satiric premise speaks to me on a very deep personal level. HOWEVER, still not interested in the gameplay itself, sorry
And that translates to TWENTY NINE games in the Brazilian eShop! ....which I guess is like, a third of the whole shop. Well, shame, I'm not really interested in any of the discounted ones.
@Manah to clarify why they exist in the first place I guess. Where I'm at, neither Children's Day or Father's Day are this month, and since I guess Nintendo doesn't even now that Festa Junina is a thing, I wouldn't have anything this month. They aren't going to make specific localized seasonal items per region, so they might as well just release everything to everyone.
@BabyYoshi65 it's in all of them, just like a character at some point getting the same Cabbie and Corviknight. They'll tie it all together eventually, but I'm not in a hurry. Slice of life stories are fine for me.
Nessa's episode was my favourite, but this one had some really nice and vibrant Wyndon characterization.
You guys are mixing things up. We've had "Galarian" Pokémon through Galarian forms, like Weezing, and now Meowth, Stunfisk and Zigzagoon and Linoone (just like we had Alolan forms but no Alolan species, like Mimikyu or Rockruff yet). The difference is that for the first time we're skipping generations and getting entirely new Galarian SPECIES, which are Perrserker and Obstagoon. That had never happened before, usually later regions evolutions would be introduced with their regions (like half of Sinnoh Pokémon being previous generations evolutions)
And this is how I found out that Children's Day isn't October 12th and Father's Day isn't the second Sunday of August "internationally". I kiiiind of wish the game would place those according to country if you happen to live in one that doesn't stick to the International version, but who am I kidding, they didn't even bother to translate the game to Portuguese, they'd never do some heavy coding like that
@Liam_Doolan He certainly is, just as my friend was as well. That's my point. The guy could only see him as a servent, not as Nintendo of America's president. Which is, sadly, something so ingrained in society that he might not even have done it out of bad faith. And I'm being optimistic here! Anyway, this is a feel god site about a feel good company, sorry to drag the mood down
yes.... it's because he was "TALL"... A friend of mine was also prohibited to get inside of a club because he was a lawyer, had just got out of work and they said "guy wearing a suit, they'll think you're a security guard so you can't get in" (guess what? Yeah, he was also black)
I loved Watch Dogs 2 so much on PC that I'd actually be tempted to double dip, against my good senses. A Twilight Princess might also tempt me, but a Wind Waker (which I just never played) would be a day one buy for me
gaúchos are gonna gauchar, as always haha! Porto Alegre was also the only South American city featured in a Pokémon GO Safari Zone event, around Lagoa dos Patos ("Duck Lagoon"), when they released shiny Psyduck internationally
@WoomyNNYes no current mobile phone can "project imagens in a wall or ceiling when the user wakes up".This is a stand for a mobile phone, but with many other functions. I'm... intrigued, but I'm more inclined to just use Pokémon Sleep than this
@Bon_Kurei I'm very curious in how they pretend to do the event to start with. We know it's ticket sales in Japan, but is it still GameStop in the west? Getting Mythicals is such a pain in the ass for me, official events are super rare in Brazil, if they're not doing some official distribution online (like the 2016 Mythical year) I can pretty much guarantee I won't have the Pokémon, which sucks
I mean, I guess, but why smartphones? They should do a Google Stadia-esque (but decent) / Netlix-style subscription service with their games, but like, you know, all of them, including recent ones (at least two year-old or something)
@Proppane Yeah, I was also pleasantly surprised! Nice that this is the focus of the day (it's autumn in my island so "the start of spring" would make no sense)
@HobbitGamer @TAndvig their issue isnt't WHERE to broadcast the Direct, they have Official Switch, Youtube and even Twitch channels. The issue is in the video itself (it's usually long, usually filmed with a host and that demands a crew, and resources and a lot of people grouping up together), and, of course, the contents. Possibly everything they were going to showcase has been delayed, or at least their physical productions have been delayed, so they might not even have a reason to host anything if they're not gonna release anything. I do expect a packed 2021 for Nintendo as this point, though.
Glad in Brazil we still seem to have some leeway. And thank god I didn't pay for Pokémon Bank, the one month trial was enough to transfer what I had (which wasn't everything, sadly) over to Home. But now I guess if I ever try to capture the Pokémon I was missing in the originals, I'll never be able to send them over, so that's a bummer. Might be the time to sell my old 3DS.... But it's the beautiful golden Triforce one, I really like it's design
@dartmonkey Thank you for that, I’m in the Southern Hemisphere and May definitely doesn’t mean spring here. Googling “may day” also only showed up literal calls of help, so Google might be watching me now hahaha
