its not diversity; husslers are hiding behind such causes and the language used for such causes. teen and adult games don't show on eshop when parental controls are used. the third party ethics group, holds the release of the game hostage unless a safe "E" rating is acheived. the ethics group wil demand a cut of the profits for diversity efforts and reaching a wider audience. any game that they cannot dumb down to an E rating likely get banned as they won't get paid for altering the product to meet their definition of a wider audience.
teen and mature games have a specific audience they were made in mind for, just like every game. and games won't reach the customer due to bannign them or altering them in a state that the target audience is not satified with.
the "ethics group" primary interest is releasing E rating games, for advertisment of a wider audience, regardless if the game intended for a younger audience. they have an biased check list of removing most to all "considered" suggetive content, and hide behind terms like NSFW, often even trying to broaden or redine what NSFW and such terms mean to better make their check list sound the same as what the official ESRB rating board wants. they do this regardless of any stance the ESRB has on the game. They just have to make it sound like the alterations on their biased check list, actualy does fit in with what the ESRB and it's region's people want. however, most alterations is just the group's personal bias and collective interest in making profits from advertising and sellign to a wider audience. Especially if the game's series/ips are already popular, as they then get more profits and recognition, as well as blame passing for complants of their shady practices.
Public ESRB ratings are for the release of suggestive and mature content to be made apparent when purchases are made by customer.
Private DEI check list ratings are for alterign to reach wider audience outside of the developer and publisher's intented target audience; and banning any thing that they cannot take larger profits on for reaching a such wider audiences.
Still no balance patch for STEVE, as well as perhaps additional balance tweaks in regards to other additional content introduced during Fighters Pass Vol. 2.
I was looking forward to many of these releases, until it became apparent that sony of america has pressured the company to front their censor any imported game that isn't exclusive to Sony of America campaign, while Sony lies that its due to protect children of early adolescence or younger. T, M, & A has no reason to be censored like they claim unless directly targeted by the ersb board, not sony of america investors and any other third party of the like.
Games getting targeted for a censor patch, once again cause they no longer exclusive to sony is a legit corporate scheme. Sony made their money from the first in line buyers that were advertised the games would stay the same. Now they want a patch to expand their audience, while not allowing other corporations to sell to the same clients that already bought the sony version before the patch, as they know such clients can't refund past a certain deadline n woudln't be interested in rebuying in the content us changed.
Two new buttons for the next pokemon game to dedicate to more menu scrolling, instead of a more interactive world...yay, i guess.
I would like to see a return of analog triggers for more immersion. Some people make the argument against them for fighting games, but obviously you can use a different controller for them. While its recommended to use more direct triggers for those kind of button mashing games, for most other kind of 3D games not implementing analog triggers is bad. I've seen several people collecting official third party controllers purely for their artistic aesthetic design, no decent d-pad on them and no rumble as well. That said there's no reason not to ask players to buy a second controller for button masher type games and have the next Pro controller and Joy-cons support a growing library of open world 3d games that would take advantage of analog triggers.
While it is legacy content...We had fishing, various of battling besides just singles and doubles, dimensional travel, online minigames, as well as SOS battles in the Sun & Moon games....there is way more features than in the current Switch Pokemon games.
As long as we don’t get more “collectible” officially licensed controllers with zero rumble & D-pads that players can’t play Tetris or crotch fly in Super Mario World to save their literal life.
Also, bring back analog trigger support for controllers with both a ZL and ZR.
nah, i don’t want a movie… just ports, as well as new games. I’ll play for the cinematic scenes. Imagine sitting in on a 90 minute plus Zelda title with no way to skip to the next playable section.
If only Gamefreak would patch their Pokémon Gen and above in the same manner. Already Broken boosted Boss raid battles that stall while moving 3 times more than others, NPCs that constantly skip on every three-four turns, Player Menu lock outs when their active time for there turn is finally ready, Broken OP Gen 7 & 8 legendaries, underwhelming “special” generation non-legendaries that only sound good on paper, as well as those that aren’t anywhere as good without their generation of gimmicks but still got carried over.
The blue emerald ability is stupid. It’s like they created it to mark off the last check box. Or It sounds like an final smash ability from smash ultimate that was coded, replacing what the dev originally wanted or had jn the prequel because he doesn’t feel like putting in more weeks just to make the other one compatible.
@Sisilly_G What do you mean by receptive to? How do you get it to react to the item outside of evolving it? If you mean the optimal method evolving Sinistea via choosing the evo item; then this would only work for sorting Polteageist.
Does Sword's & shield's Isle of Armor DLC also allow the roaming partner pokemon to be sorted via viewing it's the mark? If so, then where would be the best place to view the bottom of your own Sinistea?
It still has no update to assist Players in sorting their own Sinistea & Polteageist. I’m told by others the Pokédex entry is actual the only way you can sort your own Pokémon’s by forms. No, that just confirms you caught at least one of Sinistea & Polteageist select forms.
I don't re-call having to do the gym rematches or a another tournament on my Violet Save.
Did I somehow unlock 6 star raids early on a earlier update?
I'll guess I'll try doing what you said for my Scarlet Save, despite my Violet letting me do a six star Raid after both "robo dad" was beaten, and Violet's mascot legendary being officially registered to me. Another 8 battles and another tourney somewhere?
I still can’t unlock 6 & 7 star Tera raids in my Pokémon scarlet save. I have them unlocked in my Pokémon violet. I think either the ditto or Blissey five star evens haulted my progress, that and/or the 1.30 update has. I’ve cleared the three main stories, including the credits, after the robot professor. And did alot of 5 star Tera raids, it just won’t unlock.
I’m still waiting for Sakura Wars to be ported to the Nintendo Switch; what other game do they have to port that they can justify them having $70 set to buy their game on the Nintendo Switch.
If they don’t give us a way to play with Sonic Adventure’s Chao Garden in the Nintendo Switch with connectable VMU and/or Tomogatchi devices; as the Game intended; then $70 is a joke. They better fix their “remastered” broken lighting effects, Restore the animations of Big’s house, and deflate the over-roundness given to Knuckle’s newer sprites.
Is it just me or does the rails & speed ramps Auto-lock Sonic to lock-on despite me not actually moving him directly on it? All I got to do is land near it & the game takes liberties & puts Sonic on them.
Whether your playing naïve angel mode or not seems a bit redundant for her transformations. Seems like the black shadow effect that covers her is extra thick in 3, some would argue its censored regardless. Can somebody compare the transformations between the US version & Japanese version?
The Rascal - An annoying mob that plays a game of hide & seek in a place that I wound not want to introduce any “play time” features; will gift items that you have other ways of getting.
The Sniffer - A dinosaur that will give us access to new decoration plant(s) for our base.
The Tuff Golem - a color-customizable walking-type Allay, that can only pick up 1 item at a time.
I’m voting Sniffer - While the seeds it finds are decor only, it’s still a new feature that isn’t in game yet. Also, it’s a dinosaur.
(When I heard decor only plants, I got a odd feeling we might get hedges that can be customized into shapes)
Sad, that the less common cherry blossoms I’ve been waiting for are not in vanilla Minecraft yet (I often get lost in Minecraft’s constant greenery.) Minecraft took a stance against glowing mushrooms, claiming it may make their game look too close to other games. Both low light bioluminescence fungus and cherry blossoms belong in the game. Although, between the two perhaps only the latter should be allowed to naturally generate, while the other would need to be manually grown.
Minecraft needs a 2.0 update, for adding a bit more functionality to builds, and/or more customization besides just color. I feeling a bit burned out as a builder.
They need to update [Pokémon Sword] & [Pokémon Shield] to not disconnect my Bluetooth audio. Also, the [Pokémon Games] would be more power friendly of they did not have Bluetooth always on standby.
@WaffleRaptor01
It feels that way as they skipped footage of Gohan training... He had revealed to Piccolo he was doing training in secret.
I'm even more upset about both Cell Max creation, his limited screen time, & his implementation. He had no business existing. A lot of what was needed for Cell Creation, Dr. Gero had his computer do alot of the work for him, as it was a job that surpassed his own brilliance. A rich benefactor having a copy of Cell's design, seems like a very tall tale. They should of given Gohan a New unique villain, like Janemba, rather than give him a berserk, incomplete villain, based on someone he had already defeated.
Also, I would of preferred Gohan to get a 3-6 episode OVA series, preferably OVAs longer than 20-30 minutes, rather than a movie.
I'm still waiting for the Switch version to not have a huge portion of the world not rendered in for a long time. Any Short or Lengthy travel by foot, boat, or horse on the Switch edition will greatly stall the world render speed. It isn't playable at the moment.
@sixrings
No, you are literally getting BOTW2 as a steal if Nintendo is selling it for 50-60, you are not getting ripped off on a port. I would pay at least $80 for BOTW2. The only justification for Nintendo to sell BOTW2 for $60, is if it has an expansion. With the expansion putting it over the price of 60, it isn't the same price as ports.
Also, you can always wait till the port goes on sale, which it is more likely to do more than botw2.

No, you are literally getting BOTW2 as a steal if Nintendo is selling it for 50-60, you are not getting ripped off on a port. I would pay at least $80 for BOTW2.

Re: Soapbox: Endless Zelda Remakes Are A Poor Substitute For Backwards Compatibility
@tektite_captain
For Twilight Princess, I can definably agree with that. Depending on the game, any thing less than 25-50 is robbing the Devs.
Twilight Princess "on the go" is easily worth 70-80, 50-60 is almost a steal.
