@jello64 Yeah, since this article, the preorders have been flooding the stores. I finally got one from Gamestop which is where I actually wanted it from (PUR points + gift cards)
Regardless of if she is lying or what not, the big lesson to learn is that airing your dirty laundry on social media is not wise. Even if she had been successful, she was sending a message to any future employers not to hire her. It sucks, but a lot of times you have to deal with things behind closed doors.
@shoeses No, I assumed you meant what you said. But I count out those offshoots and just consider the mainline games. Now maybe they were tied up by the offshoots, but idk. Regardless, I hope they fix the issues quickly.
@Dandare The SNES definitely needed that. And an ending. Yes, it needed an ending. But I loved that game. Honestly all those games were fire. The NES one had some catchy tunes and was a great adaptation of the SNES one. I think that'd be a great collection but does Universal really do retro collections like that?
Oh, plus they had the actor's likenesses in the game. I'm sure that's an issue.
@Koxen And to be honest, probably don't need to. If you like the game, buy the game. Don't put your money where it's obviously used for evil but you can't spend your whole life investigating everything you buy.
She is literally hoping her fanbase will create leverage so she can get a raise. Like I can get boycotting something over some egregious evil done, but we're talking about her not liking the offer she got. So she wants the entire community to boycott the game for what? So she can feel vindicated about asking for what she asked? Come on man, give me a break. That'd be like me asking for a raise at my job and if I didn't get it, asking the Internet to boycott my company. Twitter activism is out of hand.
What would really be a nice little hustle is if this foundation actually already owns the games, but they just setup a second account to auction them off with the intention of "buying" them themselves. So basically they could buy the games for a couple hundred dollars, auction them to themselves for several thousand, and then get the whole community to pay for it. Like what happens if they don't win the auction? Do they return the money to people? Idk, just asking people for the money to pay for these feels super shady.
This isn't potentially dangerous, it's extremely dangerous and stupid. All it would take is for one network vulnerability and someone would use your Switch to pivot to another device. Or, if the IP address that you switch had changes (because you didn't make a reservation or make it a static IP), then whatever device gets it next is completely exposed to the Internet. This is one of the worst fixes I've ever seen.

Haven't there always been at least two stories in the game? There's always the antagonist organization (Team Rocket, Magma, etc) that you're battling alongside the Pokemon League Challenge. I hope they mean more than that kind of thing when they say three storylines.

@Jprhino84 I understand the negotiations, but I seriously doubt that's the bottleneck. It's about trickling just enough content to keep the majority of users content without giving too much. One need only take a look at the offerings on the Virtual Console compared to NSO to understand that's what's happening. I was just mentioning the ROMs originally in comparison of the work it took to dump that many roms vs the work involved to test the games on NSO before they are released. I've heard some people say that Nintendo wanted to make sure stuff ran right once. But I agree that money is probably the biggest factor in play.
Wow, 53 games. So, since NSO started offering SNES games, they've release 2.52 games per month on average. So if the entire SNES library were released, it'd take 56 years and 5 months at this rate. Pretty wild considering the entire SNES game library has been dumped to ROMs since like the 2000's.
I'm honestly shocked at the Arceus Legends compatibility. I figured that game would be shut out since it's so easy to catch Shinies in. Surely it won't also honor the IV system on there, because that made it sooooo easy to change IVs.
@Zverik I was thinking the same line of things. I have designed logos before of much less importance and done like 20-30 different iterations of it, easily.
