@RupeeClock I can imagine People will be fighting to put their in first and complaining when someone else does (lucky 1 of 6). Similar to now with certain top defenders (cough, Blissey).
Not sure what I'm more happy about. That we're finally getting Legendary Pokemon, or that they can't be used as defenders in gyms. I can only imagine the "variety" if that was the case.
Going to add $70 Eshop credit later today for Splatoon 2. More excited to play it now than I was a week ago. Already have the new Inkling Girl and Boy amiibo schedule to arrive today from Best Buy.
I want to get Fate/EXTELLA: The Umbral Star too, but due to release timing it won't get my full attention (see above). I'll get that later on down the road.
I hope that one of the bugs they fixed is the one with the gym is being "under attack" right after you take down an enemies gym and somebody from your team put in theirs. I saw the notice on the faq help screen about it, so at at least they are aware of that and others.
It would be also nice if they do something about Blissey (Lower CP, faster motivation drop). I can't fault her for a having a high HP but did they really forget that she have the defense of an egg. Hope they have something planned for Shedinja's 1hp.
That was a nice read, very informative. It’s good to hear from people that works behind to scene with stuff like this and not comments from people on the web with zero experience but a lot of assumptions.
That part about R. Mika and Naruto just reminded me how surprised I was to find out that the actress that plays Perry on Lab Rats also does the English voiceover for Naruto. One of those “what have been seen” (in this case heard) mind blown moments for me.
Took a bit of time for him to correct that mistake. He must have been flooded with so much hate comments before actually looking at a Switch Pro controller or a Joy-Con pair.
Personally I can’t say I know anything about this game for me to want a port or not, got to research it later. Tbh when I first saw the topic title, I thought they literally mean Lawbreakers like hackers
I hope the people at Grant Park would go for the water types for the perk. The experience bonus seems more beneficial then all the other perks (besides stardust).
The only way encounter bonus will be useful is if it means rare encounters like Mareep and Unown.
Wishful thinking they have something in New York City in the near future.
An interesting thing about Helix stretch (sway) ability is that not just you can throw punches using it, but it will also stay charged while stretched since you are holding the same button that charges it.
I hope Nintendo is planning to release Starfox 2 on a virtual console (Wii U, Switch, doubtful New 3ds) as well. That's the only game on the list I haven't played or owned and I'm not eager enough to buy the system for it.
Went to Manhattan yesterday and there was a crowd of people fighting raid battles/gyms at different parts in midtown. 14 players (on team) taking down a Tyranitar at one of them. Best catch ever (perfect iv). Now if only I can get a TM as a reward.
One of the things I dislike is not being able to stock up on one a day Raid Passes, but I guess this as well as other parts of the update is a safeguard against cheaters/bots.
Well I have a big smirk right now, level 35 over here (3/4 to lvl36). Got a raid pass but haven't seen any raid battles in my area. I'll keep my eyes peeled for any eggs
Hard for me to say if NA have the same level of storage that JP have. I normally get twitter alerts when they are in stock online every other week.
They need to also worry about restocking joy-con controllers, mainly the Red/Blue ones. Wish I brought them back when people were in a frenzy over the left joy-con issue. harder to find at msrp then the Switch itself.
This is a nice way to troll cheaters. I know some would justify using third party to complete their dex (fair to some extent), but most use them for gyms, especially bots.
I been so behind on stuff for the past 2 weeks (like now got to day 3 Nintendo Treehouse behind), I didn't even know Ever Oasis was coming out tomorrow. When I get more time, I'll download the game. For now I'll try the demo.
Fair enough. I remembered feeling that the movie was dramatize when I saw it. It would be boring if there was no conflict and drama to get the viewer’s attention.
Although I have some questions on how the new Battles and Pokecoins will be handled, I am happy that are implementing some type of major update after so long.
Now if they can only fix the problems they always have with the PTC accounts. They can at least compensate PTC account holders with Pokecoins or items like incubators and lucky eggs. I haven’t been able to login for +16 hours and the Solstice event ends today, lucky Google users.
ARMS as a digital when it's available.
It's always messed up when a store will have discounts on all game but digital downloads, in this case Best Buy with the Gamers Club Unlocked (20% off). Such is life
Hoping Nintendo have one more surprise up their sleeves for downloads during E3.
Now that's the power of a brand. A familiar tune, a logo, and "in development" and it's enough to make a grown man cry. I wish my reaction was like that, instead of "I have to get around playing the trilogy pack I backlogged".
A subway train ride away and yet I always act like it's in a different state. Would go today but it's raining outside. Really got to make an effort tomorrow.
It's kind of funny, prior to this the unspoken excuse could have been Xbox and PC (moreso Microsoft) are part of the same ecosystem so it would naturally work. It didn't raise much volumes because those were the "only two" home systems. Nintendo, the oddball out is joining the mix and that raise more questions and eyebrows
At least 2 more amiibo to add to my future collection. I wouldn’t be surprised if there is more FE amiibo just waiting around the corner to jump at my wallet.
Welp, looks like I'm going to be stalking Best Buy for when they open pre-orders for the amiibo. If I'm going to toss money at the screen, might as well be at 20% off and 2x the points.
@rjejr Pretty much what I was thinking. If Nintendo officially went with this design, people will think it’s a updated Wii U or next gen handheld. People already bash the Wii U because of the name and console design, no need for that repeat.
Hmm and I just brought a dock set from best buy last week for $71.99 (open-box). No buyer’s remorse on my end, just a “well I’ll be”. It is a nice alt for a spare.
It met my expectations. I wasn’t expecting an “Amazing” factor (especially a week before E3), but a “that’s nice”.
Out of the 3, I’m more excited for Pokkén Tournament DX, still hoping for more features. I would probably be more excited for Ultra Sun and Moon if I knew more about it beside a teaser and date. As for Gold and Silver, not feeling it, but I guess it’s because I’m not a fan of VC for a game I already played, twice.
I'm somewhat interested. I already have the Wii U version but I am interested in what the Switch have to offer. I hope there is more new modes/gameplay beside the 3 on 3 battle, which I hope is tag team style.
I wonder if this will be a sequel to Sun and Moon, or just an enhanced version. Hoping for the 1st one since the story did end on a cliffhanger with certain characters.
Real talk: did people full heartedly expect a main series pokemon game for a new hardware the same year it's released? As far as I know all the past Pokemon games were released at least 2 years after the systems release. At least knowing that should of kept some people expectations in check.
Good thing Nintendo is in the business of making games and not weapons. I can only imagine how R.O.D (robotic operating destroyer) will preform, especially after a stability update.
Unless the person have OCD, a collector, or like to brag, a sticker decal of the design would be a nice money and effort saver; especially if they already own a Switch.
Wow, this will be the first time I ever use my gold coins for something I don't have and genuinely want, instead letting it expire or getting something I wouldn't use/want.
Since I don't have any of the Pikmin 3 dlcs and 80 of my gold coins will expire at the end of june...
Interesting week. I'll download Fire Emblem Echoes later on down the road when I have time to invest in a story based RPG Strategy. I do like Rhythm games so I may go for Dark Witch Music Episode (more research needed).
It's kind of funny that I'm getting the Alm and Celica amiibo before the game, then again I bet there are people who buy amiibo without the games for it (or systems).
This will be useful since I also need more Larvitar and Larvitar candies. Need some powerhouse to counter the Valor swarm that popped out of the Matrix in my neighborhood, especially when they use a certain Pokemon with high HP.
Wow I forgot that E3 was only a month away. Guess that's a good thing since it haven't give me time to get hype, which these days is good for my health.
I'm going to hold off getting the DLCs till later. I put in so much hours in the base game that I still haven't fight Calamity Ganon. Although the new equipments and travel medallion do peak my interest.
Not big on the tingle outfit, but if it have an effect like finding more rubies, I'll dance around like he just found a fairy.
I wonder if they did this from a psychological point of view to show that they are not droping the 3DS for the Switch.
If they drop the price on the new Nintendo 3DS XL people will think that it's getting phased out, like how some people are thinking now. If they release a new model, it looked like they're continuing support.
Granted it was similar with the Gameboy micro and the original Nintendo DS, so who knows.
They need to do a better job when it comes to the Gold Coin use. 60 Gold Coin for 40% SSF IV 3D Edition. I remember a few months ago when Capcom had a sale for the same game at 75% off ($4.99), 0 Coins.
I'm just thinking if they do split up who would host Splatfest and announce the stages, would there even be one or something different. More questions just keep popping up.
Nice to see our games are doing well and not just breath of the Wild. I was hoping that people on forums wasn't a reflection of people in real life.
I got BotW and Voez for my personal play time, Snipperclips to play with my gf, and 1-2 Switch to play with friends and family who are not a gamer like me but want to have fun in a fair way, which is over 80% of the people I know.
Even though I still disagree on the pricing with 1-2 Switch, depth and extent the quantity of the games, playing with my little cousins, nephew, and handicapped gaming friends made it worth it; at least more so if I was to play a multiplayer game that I have a clear advantage in.

That would have been handy for me a couple of months ago instead of wearing the bracelet loosely so I could use it in a similar way with one hand.
Well +1 point for the Go-tcha
Re: Reminder: Here Are the Times for the Splatoon 2 Splatfest World Premiere
If it was any other day I will say I'm in, but it's happening on the same day that my friend want us to go to Coney Island to hangout.
I rarely go out on the weekends, but when I do most of the time it's just bad timing. Well there's always next week for me when the game is released.

Re: Pokémon GO Worldwide Events Detailed, Including New Safari Zone

Re: Star Fox 2 Will Finally Be Released Thanks To Super NES Classic Edition
Fingers crossed they release this on a Virtual Console, any one of them, I'll even take Wii VC if it means I don't have to get the Snes CE.
