Re: Discord App For Switch Would 'Need Nintendo's Blessing'

ultraraichu

If they can have discord running the same time as the game you're playing, I can see the use since the main issue is in-game voice chat on the console itself. If that can't happen then the smart device discord app will still be the better option since you can play and chat (voice & text) at the same time.

Re: New 'Pokémon Pass' Mobile App Now Available, Rewards Users With Shiny Pokémon And More

ultraraichu

If this will replace going to a store rep and asking for a card with the serial code, I'm all for it.

I already past experience with different Target and Best Buy where they didn't know about the event, had no more codes to give, and/or questionably stingy about giving it away. Gamestop was the only one that that is nice and knowledgeable overall with this.

I would also accept internet distributions but I guess they want to encourage people to go to physical retail stores in an age of E-commerce.

Re: Talking Point: Do We Still Want Achievements On Switch?

ultraraichu

I wouldn't mind one way or the other; felt more strongly for it in the Wii era though. Not sure if it's because I'm currently content with in-game rewards & achievements or now I have less time and mental energy to do them all.

Besides knowing nintendo if they did do this, it likely wouldn't be like the other platforms which can be good or bad.

Re: Persona 5 Scramble: The Phantom Strikers Officially Confirmed For Switch

ultraraichu

I’m ok with this. I do love musou games (I assume), even though FE Warrior is the only one on my switch so far. I'll be keeping my eyes on this.

I’m pretty neutral on the port situation since I had no expectation of the release even when Joker was announced and I had no prior interest in the series. It would be cool if it happens one day but I know my hype and interest wouldn’t be passionate as some fans here. Doesn't help that my interest in turn-based RPG have been on the decline as of late.

Re: Anniversary: Pokémon Snap Turns 20 Years Old Today

ultraraichu

With modern technology the way it is now, a sequel would be awesome. One example, back then (early 00s) I had to go to Blockbuster to use their kiosk to pay and print stickers of my Pokemon pics. Now you can post on social media and save digitally.

I’m still shocked on the appreciation Snap is getting now. I still remember some of the hate it got when it first came out, especially when it was the 1st console Pokémon game (even though it was successful and praised by critics). There are no Pokémon battles, you don’t have direct control (pre-set path), not all the Pokémon are in it, etc. It’s almost similar to Let’s Go series and the Core series with the fan base divide.

Re: Danny DeVito 'Is Still Inside Of' Detective Pikachu

ultraraichu

Prior to the 1st trailer I was in the DeVito camp, but that's mainly because I played the 3DS game so I had the voice pre-set in my head. After hearing Reynolds voice with Pikachu's action, it grew on me fast. Both give D. Pikachu that pumpkin spice latte I like. The writing also play a role.

Re: Team Wizard Wins The Latest Splatoon 2 Splatfest

ultraraichu

Well I had fun being on the knight side. I know if I was on the wizard side I would have more mirror matches which would upset me as I feel like I'm not contributing.
Although I would have loved to say that I'm the wizard King #BlackClover.

Fun thing is I wear my witch outfit anyways, I like to imagine the confusion that arose

Re: Guide: How To Fix A Drifting Nintendo Switch Joy-Con Analogue Stick

ultraraichu

I've been looking at videos to fix the joy con drift for the past few months. Already spent $80 ($30 plus $10 shipping) to send in my joy cons for repair 3 different times and I wasn't going for #4.

In the end I just bought a pair of yellow joy cons on sale at Target with a 2-year extended warranty to be safe (still less than $80) and now still working up the courage to go nuclear option 3 with the blue ones.

Re: Random: The Entire Mega Man '90s Cartoon Is Available To Watch On YouTube

ultraraichu

That brings back memories. I was only able to watch a few episodes as a kid only by chance because of the bizarre scheduling (remembering the one time it showed 5:30 in the morning).

It was so hard watching cartoons and animes back then. If you didn't know when the show was going to be on (which can change next week) or have a VCR to record, you missed out. No internet streaming or on-demand to help out.

Thanks modern day technology.

Re: Nintendo Tells Mobile Partners To Limit Microtransactions So That Players Don't Spend Too Much

ultraraichu

One of the things I like about the Nintendo mobile games (and certain other non Nintendo games) is that it's not a necessity to spend real money for in-game currency and being pretty generous on giving/earning free ones; AC: Pocket Camp is up for questions on that part with the leaf ticket demands and all.

I like the way they handled it in Dragalia Lost where you can play and progress without the need to spend money and giving out Wyrmite, Summon Vouchers, and other items left and right.
Then again it's not a PvP game, so you don't have to race to be the best at any cost.

Re: Rhythm Game VOEZ Gets Updated With Yet Another Bunch Of Free Tracks

ultraraichu

Digging the new tunes, downloading the update now so I can play it on my train ride from work. I still play from time to time when I’m in a rhythm mood along with my other rhythm games.

I really admire Rayark Inc., not just for still supporting a game that came out 2 years ago but also releasing contents like this for free. Not very common in today’s world of paid dlc and MicroTs

Re: Team Waffles Wins Splatoon 2's Breakfast Battle Splatfest

ultraraichu

Waffle for the win. Times like this I have to remind myself to get a waffle iron (maybe that Pokeball one) instead of frozen waffles.

The last match of the night was a real nail-biter for me. Win and become The Waffle King, lose and stay as the waffle Champion with 996 points. 24 S.S Snails for me

Re: A New Line Of Smart, Customisable Pokémon Shirts Is On The Way, Orders Open Next Week

ultraraichu

I would not mind wearing that to work (would love it). Some of the designs are subtle enough that most people wouldn't know they're Pokemons unless they observe it close and have some knowledge of the franchise.

Side note: watching that kid use a Charmander to fight an Onix bring back memories. I know way better now, but Pewter City was my second reality type check back then, first being Cerulean City's gym.

Re: Soapbox: Don't Listen To The Pokémon: Let’s Go Haters - The Game Has Definitely Found Its Audience

ultraraichu

Nice read, especially with the table. So many variables to think about and digital sales number being only known to Nintendo (who rarely release them) makes it that much harder.

In case there's still doubt if Nintendo and TPC count this as a main line game they have it listed with all the other past main line game on the official Japanese page.

Re: Attention All Pokémon Let's Go Poké Ball Plus Owners: For The Love Of God, Don't Ever Delete Your Save

ultraraichu

@Yorumi that is also true. Oddly enough there are even people that complain about those with commute cost, store employees, and human interaction lol. But yep different cause, different perspectives, the spice of life.
40 or $50 peripheral with a bonus Pokemon or 40 or $50 Pokemon with free peripheral

It is funny because I just imagine myself shaking a cane saying people these days have it good. Back in my days (early 00s) only gamers in Japan got rare Pokemons like Celebi & in-game events and having your game erased was as easy as having your friend start a new game and save over your file.

Re: People Are Review-Bombing Pokémon: Let's Go Across Major Sites, Amazon Japan Blocks User Scores

ultraraichu

@Crono1973 I have not say customers are in the wrong, especially if they leave a negative review. I have not say that marketers are saints or anything close.

I think you're under the impression that I'm defending the brand, company, marketers, or something, when really I don't trust them because they have an agenda and don't care about my personal interest or situation. This is why we go to other websites and people not affiliated with them. A review, positive or negative from a person that played the game and can give an analyzed report on it.
