I see a lot of people saying too soon, but as a reminder the Gen IV Pokémon came out in shifts starting last year at the same time. My guess is Gen V will be the same way.

Yeasssss. Serperior darling the time has come I hope we get Gen V clothes too.

@Agramonte which is precisely why they are releasing Ori one Switch. People who don’t want to wait will probably get Gamepass on PC, phone xCloud, or even a Scarlett next year. Good business move on MS’s part

This is just some PR talk and nothing more.

@Patron Fire Emblem was number #2 on the NPDs for entire month of July for the US without the digital sales. You knew that right?

Ori on my Bday too, happy day!

Nope, you didn’t want us before; you don’t get us now.

I love the Nindies!!!!! But so long a wait

Hangry mode lol imma get snicker for it

@BacklogBlues and the funny thing about that is now Walmart sells digital code cards along side the physical but the digital is 10.00 more.

@BenAV exactly. Why people don’t seem to want to use them is beyond me.

@PortablexombieV2 True but a lot of people already of these devices in their homes, so they wouldn’t see it as an extra device.

GameStop also loaded a pre order bonus for this now of a wall poster. https://m.gamestop.com/product/nintendo-switch/games/pokemon-sword-pokemon-shield-double-pack/178527

Wow I love demos. I’m so excited.

Here’s hoping for English on the Asian release

@Mando44646 if you order from the Pokémon center (Which I think is NA addresses only not sure ...) you get keychains as a preorde bonus https://www.pokemoncenter.com/video-game/pokémon-sword-pokémon-shield-double-pack-%28plush-key-chain-gifts-with-preorder%29-716-59697

@Agramonte to be fair to God Eater, they didn’t release at the same time period. A lot of people already have the game and probably don’t want a second purchase at this point. CTRs online base is probably a better example. Honestly, it need to be a multiplat game released at the same time in Japan where the install base is the close for true comparisons.

@Snakesglowcaps yup that’s what I think

@Snakesglowcaps right well that’s kind of par for the course but yeah a larger saturation of newer switches over older ones. But that’s kind of what they did with the New 3DS, slowly started pulling the older ones.

Correct me if I’m wrong but the Mariko is better at power consumption than Logan. The Switch currently is underclocked and whilst there is a boost mode most games don’t use it. In theory, Mariko could use it just fine without the drain and heat issues. Mariko might even handle that as a norm and a higher speed as a boost? I guess what I’m getting at is when the market is more saturated with Switches with the Mariko chip they could turn on another boost mode for those Switches and they’d get better performance ? Or am I’m complete in left field ?

I really really like this game. So far I haven’t found anything I don’t like.

@Silly_G yeah as fun as MK8 is CTR is an enjoyable challenge.

@companyoflosers hardly as @darkswabber and I have been talking about other games featured entirely different locations(BW,BW2), different Bosses (RSE, ORAS) and different aesthetics (S/M, USUM) actually Last gen was actually the most annoying with the character customization options ...

Edit: I forgot to mention gen 7 also has time difference between versions. So when is day in Sun it’s night in moon.

@darkswabber Umm no most of the games have big differences, Ruby/Sapphire (ORAS) had a completely different enemy team and boss battles. S/M USUM has different stalls which impacts you ability to buy certain items from the stalls like rare kitchen levels etc. Also dye colors for clothes were version locked. There is a trainer than can’t be fought a second time too if I remember.

I’d rather they wait anyway because the rest of this year is pretty stacked and this gives digi a chance to shine :3

it looks like there is an edition with lamp included with it as well.

@Tasuki assuming they don’t figure out how to make a machine do the work? There is a reason that we have self checkouts, atms, face time for doctors. Pfft no one wants to pay for an American worker.

Umbreon you sneaky sneak ;D

@BacklogBlues it’s not just this set... shrugs

@sanderev it’s not just EU/Jp it’s also AU as well

@whanvee we are.

What happened was the trailer for Shang Tsung gameplay said early access is included in the Kombat Pack for PC, PS4, and Xbox One. Some Reddit users spotted that in the trailer and assumed Switch wasn’t included. However, if you play MK 11 it clearly says on the Kombat Store early access on the Switch. sighs keep in mind people thought Switch wasn’t getting the premium version as well.

@Liam_Doolan according to WB on Twitter Shuang is suppose to be other on Switch today as well https://mobile.twitter.com/WBGamesSupport/status/1140967738627768321

So he may actually be out later today when the eshop updates.

@NEStalgia that’s where I’m at. However I thought the Switch (based off Labo VR) has Gryo built into, so technically that feature isn’t lost or am I overthinking ?

@manu0 I’ve also heard hospitals use it for physical therapy.

@Geobros same but that amibo- it needs a home.

@Wexter honestly that’s the same sense I got. As everyone keeps pointing out the digital future, despite Stadia launching, is quite some time a way. From the sound of it, MS is planting the groundwork but knows it’s going to be a while.

Technically it will still be the only place to use the old Pokémon <.< so I see that being a big stability point in its favor for a while.

@SwitchForce if you pre order from the Pokémon center in the US you get plush keychains.

Now all the NA peeps will import and Nintendo of America will just assume we don’t like collectors editions...

On top of this they aren’t even bothering with the Astral Chain Special.

sighs

@Ralizah people specifically asked about the friend play and Nintendo said it was due to the ranking system if was the plan all along why not say that ?

Junction system its time to fall in love again

I’m going to try it; it looks fun for a minute.

I think it mostly was professional courtesy on Microsoft’s part. Which all three do frequently. However, if there is something there it could be either be something with Minecraft dungeons or “Forza Street”, which isn’t the full game but would still be an MS branded franchise on a Nintendo system.

Either way Microsoft is not ready to reveal details on xCloud (which is how I think they’d bring game pass to Switch). I feel they would do in a press conference closer to October, and Nintendo doesn’t like stuff like announced too long before it’s ready. That’s assuming Nintendo lets them do it at all.

@sixrings I don’t know if you are aware but PSO2 is on the Switch in Japan. It’s cloud streamed. Not that I think it’s coming just that it’s already a thing.

@MasterHiggins stadia will be huge o.o

All joking aside Stadia is a PC running the game, so they aren’t really porting a new version over. And it’s not even a previous gen vs current gen issue. As I understand (which I could be wrong)their internal engine and Switch don’t work together, and they aren’t inclined to try anything else. For the most part the games they have brought over either use a different engine or are heavily modified. If FIFA was built in Unreal 4, I believe it would be a different story. Or at least more of an effort to try, but when your base isn’t compatible...

It’s unfortunate, but the reality of EA.

Eh Pokémon always has gimmicks, Z-Moves, Rotating Battles, etc I’m not phased by it. As I am with every entry- I’m super excited and can’t wait to play :3

@Ryu_Niiyama Ah... I wasn’t sure.

@Ryu_Niiyama NRS used his likeness and actor voices him...

(I’m sorry if this was a subtle joke that went over my head)

As someone who gets motion sickness easy, I saw the video with Alex. I don’t want to get sick :c that would be me. However, all this VR support does make me wonder about a Pokémon Amie VR option

I’m kind of happy with this as you can handle bank sorting and still be actually playing the game.

@Trajan Umm no. And your logic doesn’t work, here I’ll show you-

Square-Enix released Octopath Traveler and Lost Sphere in 2018. Octopath Traveler sold, Lost Sphere not so much. But, by your logic, both should have sold because it was a dry year.

Octopath Traveler plays heavy on the retro fans need. Games like Final Fantasy XV are more modern, but there a ton of fans (especially Japanese) that crave that old FF VI feel and look. SE didn’t even think it would sell in the west so Nintendo published proving retro fans are everywhere

@Paraka it could also be that age old thought process “Third Parties don’t sell on Nintendo” .

I highly doubt any exclusive third party titles sell Switches- portability and Nintendo’s own IPs do that. Sony and MS might need exclusive third parties, but Nintendo nope. They’ve always just done their own thing.

I’m not going to fault a company for needing to get more platforms for a failing game. I’d rather see a smaller company survive then die. I hope this means NMH3 is more likely.
