I do think that some pixelated 16-bit inspired modern games look nice. But I'm so, SO tired of that aesthetic. Not everything has to be pixels anymore. Look at something like GRIS, for instance, which has a very simple play style but uses gorgeous 2D graphics to it's benefit. I'm just tired of the apparently easy route that doing whatever in 16-bit is automatically artistic or hip or nostalgic, because it just feels lazy to me
well damn BOTW means I guess I'll have to get Labo now... And the cheapest option sadly doesn't even include the awesome "it's made for Pokémon Snap but Game Freak isn't helping" VR camera =/
can't wait for our dear Brazilian president Bolsonaro to bash all over Nintendo on Twitter for allowing that! Oh wait, no, he wouldn't do it to an international corporation, he would only do it to his own country...
I've never played Fire Emblem, but I loved the trailer and I'm intrigued with the setting and story. I think this might end up being my first (also: Leicester Alliance all the way)
it's short and not that challenging, but oh so beautiful. it sometimes felt like I was controlling an animated movie, and that itself made the experience worthwhile. I might play it again someday
@Preposterous yeah, I don't know what's up with this guy. It's creative, I'll give him that, but I'm betting the few designs I'm disliking in Detective Pikachu (furry Jigglypuff, no belly division of colours in Mewtwo, overtly scale Charizard) were made by him considering his tendency to downplay the original shape of the Pokémon.
I know the whole "stability as an update" is a joke on itself, but come on people, the Pokémon Go community was getting kind of desperate over this. Glad it's fixed
@Balta666 yeah, I heard that a lot of Portuguese play Pokémon Go in English because of that. Nintendo did stop having official representation a while ago (2015 I think), but the 3DS eShop never stopped working here with local currency, and now there's an official Switch eShop too (it's a little weird though, you have to buy on the website), so they "stopped", but they haven't. They were here promoting Smash and Let's Go in the latest Brazil Game Show for instance.
my god are they EVER gonna release Brazilian Portuguese? Nintendo is so weird with Brazil, the 3DS, the WiiU and Wii all had Brazilian Portuguese, we're stuck with Portugal's completely different words (anything invented post-Independence like videogames we've developed different terminology)
@retro_player_22 that was very informative, thanks! it's nice to see they're not stuck with Nintendo because I believe this allows for them to have a broader scope from other players and studios, so this is a win-win situation for Pokémon in my opinion (at least I hope so)
@Kit it's actually the two standard gym and raid moves (a fast attack and a charge attak), plus a second charge attack and the Protect shield (with a limited usage, kind of like a low PP). So, that's a total of 4 moves if you consider all Pokémon have Protect as a move, which is almost always possible. I'd say it's pretty close to the spirit of main game even though it's obviously a different mechanic.
@MysticGengar but it is coming back! it's a 1 in 6 chance with the other birds and beasts also appearing as special research tasks (the 7-day streak task)
Oh come on the chess set is such a wasted opportunity! Everyone knows it should be: King: Nidoking Queen: Nidoqueen Bishop: Bisharp Rook: Stakataka Knight: Escavalier Pawn: Pawniard
@siouxrunner15 there actually isn't a Russian language version. Just as Gen 7, Let's Go supports Japanese, English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Korean, and Chinese.
I thinks he makes some creative choices in going very "bio-realistic" and dismissing the supernatural/magical aspects (specially glaring in his Ghost Pokémon design), and great that he got a job in the design team, but yeah, I'd have hated if the movie just went with what he does. We're in a middle ground that I'm still getting used to (TRIM DOWN PIKACHU'S FUR, GUYS), but definitely better than his designs.
@RupeeClock I once took my Switch and Mario Kart to a barbecue, people just ignored the nearby PS4 and queued for the Switch. I felt like living in a Nintendo commercial.
@deKay Not really. They announced GO integration like a Go+, and also that you could put a Let's Go Pokémon inside the PokéBall to walk, but not that one would benefit the other. Honestly, with their track record, I was half-expecting one to NULLIFY the other... so this is a pleasant surprise for me
well now I understand why for the first time ever they officially translated an entire Pokémon game other than the TCG specifically for Brazilian Portuguese (even though the official Portuguese channel is still in European Portuguese which makes zero sense for announcements and contradicts the game)
that's all nice and all, but where is the Poké Ball Plus Controller? It was already announced ages ago, isn't it weird that they don't update an icon for it at the same time they're doing it for still unannounced controllers? (I just really want an icon for it on the menu, come on! haha)
@CaPPa yeah, I actually just regularly change my Nintendo Account country and buy from whichever eSHop is cheaper. But considering tax rates, Brazil's eShop is regularly four or five dollars cheaper than enywhere else (but, as I said, first-party only). There is actually a multilanguage Brazilian site that keeps track of all the prices and tells where it's cheaper for every game: http://savecoins.app
Brazilian here, and this is super weird. Switch's Brazilian eShop only launched during this year's E3, and right now there are only digital first-party titles avaliable, and only if you buy through their site and then insert a code in the Switch (you can check it out for yourselves if you're not logged in a Nintendo Account at http://loja.nintendo.com.br ). Until recently, we couldn't even buy BotW DLC on it! Does that mean our eShop will expand to include other titles? This is the most exciting part for me
