Definitely agree, who cares for 4k? I play mine on handheld and 1080p would be awesome. Better, more reliable joycons or modifiable ones with a real d pad would be cool
@ShadJV I agree with all this. I was looking forward to it and the boss battle system out me off after a few hours in. It just took far too long to get anywhere and the dialogue was awful.
How do I get into the competitive side of this for fun? I'm within the last 50 to complete the Pokédex and I'd like to try and spin the game out a bit more. Not been my favourite Pokémon but I've enjoyed it.
No No Kuni frustrated me later on, I didn't enjoy the randomness of taming familiars and the team AI did my head in to the point I literally just controlled Oliver and watched them die. The story was good though as was the soundtrack and the Ghibli influence was crazy good. I can see why it got rave reviews it just wasn't for me unfortunately.
I'm slightly surprised Luigi's Mansion was pipped by Pokémon. Having owned both, Luigi's Mansion is by far more rewarding as I found Pokémon enjoyable, but really easy and poorly scripted.
It's all personal opinion though and interesting to see!
@Lordplops AHH I also loved my Dreamcast. To this day Chao raising on the VMU was so much fun, sonic adventure was such a good game and sega have never matched it IMHO since trying to break sonic into 3D.
I had one for Let's Go, was good fun and my daughter enjoyed the catching mechanic. Given it couldn't be used with Sword and Shield it was a bit of a gimmick and found its way to eBay...
Pokémon Shield addiction put down for the time being, main quest and post-game done with around 230 monsters imprisoned for eternity (I wonder if it starts to smell in there after a while?).
Finished Link's Awakening last night which was very enjoyable, back to some Splatoon 2 I think...
Pokémon Shield and may try to finish Link's Awakening as I've only got 2 instruments left.
Shield is OK so far, nothing too different to previous generations. I enjoyed Sun and I can see a lot of similarities already in style (personally was great getting away from HMs).
At the end of the day it's a Pokémon game so it isn't exactly going to be groundbreaking, but is good fun!
Every generation brings new Pokémon, surely it would be boring to play each game with the same old Pokémon. That's the appeal for me anyway. I'm still playing through X for the first time and using a whole new team, it's the fun way for me to play and discover new Pokémon. I never new Lucario was such an awesome Pokémon!
At the end of the day this doesn't bother me and I can't wait for Friday!
I remember my brother and I getting USA versions of red and blue, played so many games over the years with one or two I need to catch up on. Can't wait for the new ones and who cares if national dex isn't there. They can't keep doing the same stuff all the time. People need to stop moaning and just play the games, create some new teams and have fun. Excited for Friday!
Sobble all the way! Hopefully scorbunny turns out to be a badass on the same level as incineroar, always a fan of Greninja from X too even with its weird tongue-scarf!
Looking forward to the release date, just tear me away from Luigi's mansion first!!
I've always enjoyed racing Sims and became a Forza convert since the first one on the Xbox. Having now ditched my Xbox for the Switch I'd been hankering for a racing sim and this has been excellent! The graphics are fantastic and theres some challenge to be had, can't do the drifting for the life of me though!
Good work from Codemasters, I'd recommend this as the essential racing game for the switch...other than Mario Kart!

Re: Get Game Boy Classic Zelda: Link's Awakening DX For Less Than £3 With My Nintendo (Europe)
Such an awesome game, played this last spring and completed the story, did the same later in the year with the brilliant remake!
Re: Round Up: The Sonic Movie Reviews Are In, And They Don't Make For Pretty Reading
@HappyMaskedGuy watched Totoro at the weekend with the kids, love that film.
Re: Round Up: The Sonic Movie Reviews Are In, And They Don't Make For Pretty Reading
I think we all knew this wasn't going to win an oscar!
But who cares?! It's a movie about Sonic and it's just a bit of a laugh like the majority of Sonic games between Sonic Adventure and Sonic Mania!
Re: Poll: After 24 Hours, How Are You Getting On With Pokémon HOME?
I'm just gutted that I have a Mew stuck in my Let's Go Pikachu team and I no longer own the game! How annoying!!
Re: The Sonic Movie's Not Even Out Yet, But Jim Carrey Is Up For Doing A Sequel
@Bobb I wholeheartedly agree with that, never been eggman for me.
Re: Unleash Hell With This Officially Licensed DOOM Eternal Pro Controller For Switch
Hmmm AA batteries in this day and age? Glad I got the official Nintendo Pro Controller...

Re: Talking Point: How Often Do You Make The 'Switch Sacrifice'?
Literally playing on it right now in bed! Overwatch time!

Re: Video: Digital Foundry Looks At How Certain Wii U Games Might Run On The Nintendo Switch
Wind Waker would be great, I've got it on the WiiU but you can't beat being able to play amazing games on your lunch break at work or on the plane.
Super Mario 3D Land would be welcome too
Re: Pokémon Direct To Air Thursday, 9th January
@Grumblevolcano let's go Johto would be awesome, hopefully they make it a real Pokémon game where you battle wild Pokémon.
Re: Sega Teases Sonic's Next Chapter With Special Video Containing Hidden Messages
@Jokerwolf of course I forgot about the MJ composed music.
Sonic Adventure port then perhaps...
Companion app for raising Chao would be fun (and horribly unlikely)
Re: Hang On, Competitive Pokémon Fans Are Liking Sword And Shield's National Dex Cut
How do I get into the competitive side of this for fun? I'm within the last 50 to complete the Pokédex and I'd like to try and spin the game out a bit more. Not been my favourite Pokémon but I've enjoyed it.
Re: Sega Teases Sonic's Next Chapter With Special Video Containing Hidden Messages
@NinChocolate
Sonic 3 and Knuckles would keep me quiet until a new Sonic Mania turns up.

Re: Random: Why Pikachu Is No Longer As Chubby As It Once Was
@nessisonett I never understood this either. Imagine this in the real world, I wonder how duck billed platypus would sound? Was always really odd

Re: Splatoon 2 Version 5.1.0 Arrives Early Next Month
Still love this game, so much fun to play.
I'll be all over it if there's a number 3...
Re: Video: Sit Back And Enjoy This Lovely Super Mario Bros. 3 Documentary

Re: Redeem This Pokémon Sword And Shield Code To Receive Some Free Poké Balls
@patbacknitro18 probably just 6 electrodes!
Re: Japan's Pokémon Cafe Is Getting Creative With Its Sword And Shield Menu Options
Surely Slowpoke tail is on the menu?
Re: Free GRID Autosport Updates Will Add Multiplayer And Labo Support On Switch
Love this game, having left Xbox behind and the Forza franchise it scratched an itch of mine. Would love to see more racing Sims on the switch
Re: Streets Of Rage 4 Sees The Return Of The Beloved Character You All Asked For
@shonenjump86 Max was great for tanking through enemies! Can never forget the boxing kangaroo from #3 too

Re: Codemasters Acquires Project CARS Dev Slightly Mad Studios
@Kienda Micro Machines was such a favourite on megadrive, loved the additional controller ports on the cartridge!

That's a trip to IKEA for him then coming up
Re: Random: Japanese YouTuber Spends $20,000 Buying Every Single Product At Nintendo Tokyo
@NEStalgia yeah I don't get it either. Who has time to sit and watch all this crap that now circulates the internet?!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (November 16th)

Floor 15 of Luigi's Mansion 3, clearing the decks for Pokémon Shield next week!
