Worst games in the series. Excessive cutscenes, terrible characters, tiny world, minimal trainer battles and Team skull may as well be called team gobsh**e.

@ThanosReXXX "Ah... this all makes me kinda sadly remember the days when labels such as 'procedural', 'rogue-like' and '8 bit pixel-art' weren't a thing yet..."

@NotTelevision "Seems like the Switch has every roguelike now except Spelunky and Nuclear Throne."
Well every Poser anyway, it still lacks actual roguelikes. Although this seems to actually border on being a roguelike instead of a rougelite.
@sandman89 If you have a PC there are plenty of free options out there. Rogue, Nethack, Angband, Stonesoup, Cataclysm DDA. Mind you these are nothing like any of the games actually shown here on Nintendolife.
@Retsam It's not the same thing though, by buying a ticket you are entering into an agreement. They have to provide the service as reasonably expected, so if the projector or projectionist dies and interrupts the movie, then the agreement has been broken on the cinema's end and they have to provide the refund. Because it is reasonable to expect a full uninterrupted movie from the cinema. If you choose to walk out because you're not enjoying it (which is subjective), or for other reasons, then you waive that right. This helps protect the customer and the service provider from screwing each other over.
@Chibi_Manny "so the consumers are agreeing to pay-in-full in a final transaction with full well knowledge and awareness that the transaction is final and non-refundable," Steam had that clause, didn't do them any good here in Australia. The law takes precedence over contracts, and if the law states that you are entitled to a refund or equivalent (repair/replacement) under a certain set of circumstances, then you are well within your right to get it.
@Retsam The problem is that you're mistaking poor entertainment value for a poor product. A better analogy would be if the projector died midway through the movie. Wouldn't be fair if the cinema said tough titties and didn't refund your ticket. That's what our laws protect against, being ripped off for an inferior product.
@Retsam No, they're the same, they both have a problem, it's just the severity of the problem that's different.
As for the other part, you're choosing to waive your right, and it is a right, to a refund. Doesn't mean everyone else has to put up with a sub-par product.
@Quarth "On the other hand, you shouldn’t be able to get a refund when the game has been released, you’ve payed for it and played it."
What if there is a game breaking bug? They don't always show up in the first couple of minutes. People are entitled to a quality product. That's the reason why Steam now gives refunds.
""the performance has begun with the consumer's prior express consent, and with the acknowledgement that he will lose his right of withdrawal once the contract has been fully performed by the trader""
The contract isn't fully performed until the game is unlocked for the purchaser to play.
@riChchestM Pokeballs can be still be bought at a PokeMart, thought they've brought the price down from 200 to 100. Also most trainers you beat will give you some as well.
"We haven’t even made the full library of NES games available yet." And you never will. No chance Nintendo are going to be releasing all NES games for their Online "service"
