Hmm. I pre ordered knowing that with Amazon’s “Pre-order price guarantee” I’ll get it for the lowest price listed between now and release. If it doesn’t fall below £20… I’ll cancel on May 11th.
What I loved about the old animated series… is it pushed the idea that what was inside the question box was truly random. However, in the games, this isn’t the case.
Any reason why these aren’t listed on the UK store? I’m not the biggest amiibo guy, but I like to get most of the cool looking Smash ones and until this article realised I didn’t pre order Sephiroth… but it’s not even showing on the store. Sold out in GAME on pre order.
Wow, is this the first time the “secondary” Pokémon title (ie, Blue, Silver, Sapphire, Shield) has charted higher than the “primary” title (ie, Red, Gold, Ruby, Sword)?
@Anti-Matter oooh, that’s insightful! What, do tell, are these other games do you have interest on? Perhaps you sharing the titles here may help propel their sales to 3.45 million units! 😀
The game finally clicked with me last month when, after originally receiving the game on release, I endeavoured to give it another fair try. Was able to continue my existing game (an impossibility with other titles) and I’ve put in over 60 hours in the past 3 weeks!
Completing the Pokédex is such an addictive and fun operation. More of this please, Gamefreak. You knocked it out the park.
@TheMelodiusRose I played Colours on the Switch and was hoping it lived up to the hype and nostalgia it was receiving… I didn’t play beyond the first level. Sonic is too fast for his own good, lead to a lot of jank.
I had Adventure 2 Battle on the GameCube and I 100% it, but those Rogue levels were really infuriating due to controls, camera angles and enemy placement.
Sonic just can’t do 3D. The fans need to accept it, Sega needs to accept it. The Adventure games have aged like milk and beyond those, there is nothing worth noting.
@Jackpaza0508 in theory it will end pile-ons. Nintendolife did the same on here. There was a certain user here that would always have 5+ dislikes on their comments for just being their passionate selves and it always made me feel uneasy.

Re: Nintendo Is Officially Skipping E3 2023
@BabyYoda71 yes, I also have Wikipedia access. But an April general Direct? That’s just plain crazy talk.
Re: Nintendo Is Officially Skipping E3 2023
@Bret that’s why I didn’t mention it.
Re: Nintendo Is Officially Skipping E3 2023
@TheBigBlue mighty defensive comment there. Imagine them dropping a mini direct partner showcase at E3 in 2017, 2018, 2019 or 2021.
Re: Nintendo Is Officially Skipping E3 2023
@BabyYoda71 there was no June Direct in 2022

Re: UK Charts: Pokémon Scarlet And Violet Enjoy The Second Biggest Franchise Launch Of All Time

Re: Pokémon Scarlet & Violet: How To Evolve Dunsparce Into Dudunsparce
Wait, so Pokémon can now have more than 10 characters in their name?
Re: Random: Rockstar Reportedly Turned Down A GTA Movie Starring Eminem
Anything Eminem has done after 2003 has been awful rubbish - not even a single good verse. Anything before then (including 8 Mile) is solid gold.
Unparalleled fall from grace.

@Anti-Matter oooh, that’s insightful! What, do tell, are these other games do you have interest on? Perhaps you sharing the titles here may help propel their sales to 3.45 million units! 😀

Re: Deals: Nintendo Switch OLED Consoles Are £25 Off In The UK Right Now
@JAGleics oops! My bad! Sorry. Yeah, the Amazon ones are a bit of a deal if you’re looking.

Re: Sonic Frontiers Gameplay Showcases A Pretty, But Sparse Open World
@Schizor88 ok stranger
Re: Sonic Frontiers Gameplay Showcases A Pretty, But Sparse Open World
@Schizor88 well, it wasn’t me that typed out those erroneous full stops and sentence breaks.
Unless you really did mean that you’d buy the game if it isn’t great…?

Re: Sonic Frontiers Gameplay Showcases A Pretty, But Sparse Open World
@Aerona I agree with all points here.
Sonic just can’t do 3D. The fans need to accept it, Sega needs to accept it. The Adventure games have aged like milk and beyond those, there is nothing worth noting.
Re: Sonic Frontiers Gameplay Showcases A Pretty, But Sparse Open World
@Schizor88 reading this hurt my brain.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel #91 - Mario Golf
“Tee up with Mario and his friends” isn’t the expression “tee off”?
Re: Looks Like E3 2022 Is Officially Cancelled
@IronMan30 succinctly put.
The ONLY good thing about E3 for me, was that it was a guaranteed June Direct.
Re: Unpack A Box With The 'Unpacking' Physical Edition From Limited Run Games
Has this ever been on sale? I really want to check this out, but £17.99 digital is too much for me to justify.
Re: Metroid Dread Is Getting Free Updates, And The First Arrives Today
This is personal from Nintendo to push sales over 3 Million within the year so that RGT has to play Balan Wonderworld.
Re: UK Charts: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Stays Top For A Second Consecutive Week
@acNewUpdates they sure do! Like the good people over at Metacritic. Personally, I’m a huge fan of Garfield Kart.
