Sony should have just used those PS TVs they had stockpiled and rebranded it as Playstation Classic since they played most digital Ps1,Psp and Vita games. It was $100 with a dual shock 3 and a copy of the Lego Movie
@yuwarite I didnt play the game much, I bought Summer Lesson which was amazing. I don't have a problem with them censoring stuff. Im not a fan of the 4000 year old 13 year old girl stuff.
@whywai88 like a standard pokemon game. You can use the touch screen to play with Pikachu.
When you go to catch Pokemon you might have to move the screen left of right to line up the shot. It's almost like Pokemon Go with the AR turned off. I have the pokeball plus but that was to small for my hand.
@Shadowmoon522 I get it, i used to edit the GB roms of the original games and we'd you the pokemon editors to remake the maps and which pokemon spawned. it was a lot of fun. I think there was a way to inject your own sprites during the GBA era of Pokemon so i would put family members faces as pokemon. I guess when it hit the point with DS where you could easily get the fake pokemon stats it took the fun out of the game for me. I had more fun playing Omega Ruby earlier this year than anything else. Once Nintendo started handing out Mystery Gift Pokemon it made the game to easy.
@Shadowmoon522 I mean I get it, especially for the older Pokemon games where you miss out on stuff if you don't buy it day 1. I used to set up my extra router just to get Pokemon on DS or back in the day use the Gameshark to Surf in Pokemon Yellow.
I just don't understand why in this day and age companies that know a casual market exists don't offer "easy passes" on games like this or Zelda where an Infinite Heart mode would let people to just have fun.
@rdm22 yes you have til 01/31/19 to register the game
you don't have to preorder, the only preorder bonus is the My Nintendo Gold Coins which is like $3 for the eshop version.
So if i preorder the Base Game i get 600 gold coins digitally after the game is released. I have til the end of January to get the Piranha Plant DLC Fighter either way.
I'd just get the eshop base game and use the extra 600 gold coins on the Fighter's Pass to knock the game down to $19 usd
Either way the Piranha Plant doesn't come out til probably Feb 2019
@alpha5099 I was just thinking about that. You can have the complete collection on Switch since they were all included on the ps3/x360 version of the Genesis collections.
now if they released the updated version Phantasy Star Generations 1 and 2 that were ps2 era Sega Ages titles i'd be thrilled
They've been locking Pokemon behind a paywall from the start with Red/Green/Blue.
want that Surfing Pikachu mini game? you need a n64 Transfer Pak, Nintendo 64 system, Pokemon Yellow and Pokemon Staidum. You also can use a Gameboy but it's optional since you can play in on the n64
oh dear lord this won't end well i hope you get a ton of ad revenue from the hate this simple and easy article about just taking the time to vote has caused.

Let's all go watch some ASMR by Gibi while she wears her Team rocket outfit
Can i send out my Primal Groudon to attack a low level trainer who has a metapod and destroy him while 50 people stand around in game giving me angry face emojiis?
If anything maybe we can get a Pokemon Stadium in each region where we can battle or watch others battle in quick tournaments.
Diamond and Pearl starts in Season 10 of Pokemon in a couple weeks on Twitch. That's a perfect time to launch Gen 4.
Season 7 just ended today. I drifted away from the anime and movies around the Celebi movie. The Twitch marathon has been great to help recapture the magic. I went and finished Omega Ruby after not really playing a main line game since Soul Silver and never finishing Ruby on gba.
I pre-ordered it on Xbox when they offered the Full Collection with Season One, Season Two, Season Three, 400 Days and Michonne.
I was happy to have the whole game under one roof for only $20? after playing 1,2,and 400 days on Xbox 360 before they added them to the BC so I had 2 copies of some of the seasons but didn't want to start over as well.
I think if you haven't played Sun/Moon the Ultra versions are better.
I agree with the Gold/Silver remakes being the best.
I'd think the ORAS remakes would top even Emerald since they are much better than X and Y.(also have a ton of end game content so you can catch everything up to the X/Y generation)
It's hard to go backwards once you get all the quality of life improvements of the newer games.
It also doesn't help if you missed all the timed events when these games were newer. While you miss out on rare pokemon you'll have a basic and pure experience of playing the base game without over powered super pokemon that can 1 hit KO everything.
It's much more satisfing to catch a Groudon in Omega Ruby instead of using the one I got from Gamestop/Target by putting in a 12 digit code.
@OorWullie Vs Super Mario Bros is great, well worth a purchase especially if you like the online leadboards.
Donkey Kong is awesome as well. It's a dramatic improvement on the NES version and I had it on the 3ds as well when it was a special bonus with Paper Mario Sticker Star on 3ds.
if it's the FDS version of Vs. Excite Bike it's worth a purchase.
I don't think 3 difficulty levels and 2 extra tracks are wroth it if it's not.
@TheHumbleFellow Orange League...was so bad Ash started releasing his pokemon after it cause they were garbage like the trophy he won and his new friend Tracey. Tracey just used him to get a job with Oak.

Re: Locked Character Roster In Smash Bros. Ultimate Raises Concerns About Tournament Play
who thinks of the 99% of the playerbase who finds unlocking all these fighters fun?
Playing with other people just to watch them fail is fun.
I understand with Street Fighter 4 when it first came out had an unlock system that was fun but i played less when everything was already there.

Switch is perfect for these old game collections.
Is there a review for the Atari Collection coming out?
Re: Review: SEGA Mega Drive Classics - A Welcome Stroll Down Memory Lane
this game plus Sega Ages Phantasy Star next week it perfect.
I think there is an Atari Flashback with 150 games coming the end of the month as well. (it's Vol 1,2, and the new Vol 3 that the other systems have)

Re: Niantic's Pokémon GO Catches $80 Million Worldwide During The Month Of November
I like they went with the standard 3 vs 3 battles from the Stadium games.
Its hard to spend money on this game. I must have 400 ultra balls and most of the Gen 1 and 2 Pokedex filled
Re: Nintendo Download: 29th November (North America)
Genesis Collection on Dec 7th is waiting followed by Sega Ages Phantasy Star on the 13th.

Re: Soapbox: Don't Listen To The Pokémon: Let’s Go Haters - The Game Has Definitely Found Its Audience
Let's Go is great, it's not $60 great since its a remake of FireRed/LeafGreen with elements from Yellow.
I've played in Handheld mode and it's pretty good but I'd rather play on my TV without the wii motion controls.
It's a great entry point for new players but it's pretty much the same exact game which is pretty shallow by todays standards.
The Pokemon walking around in the wild is incredible and almsot creepy. I hope they keep that going in the future.
It should have been a $40 game and the Pokemon Go park that a lot of people probably bought it for is buried deep into the main game story line.

Re: Nintendo Switch System Update 6.2.0 Is Now Available
Stability NOW!
Re: Infamous Pokémon Save Data Editor Has Been Updated To Support Pokémon: Let's Go
Why? There's only 151 pokemon and the game pretty much hands you to them. You're over powered by the time you reach Mt.Moon.
Re: Guide: Which Pokémon GO Companion Device Is Best - Pokémon GO Plus, Poké Ball Plus Or The Go-tcha?
@readalie Pokemon Go used 5 to 10 MB an hour.
You'd probably have a worse time with your battery life on the poke ball plus and your phone
Re: Nintendo Download: 15th November (North America)

Re: Excitebike Joins The Hamster Arcade Archives Collection On Switch Tomorrow
I completely forgot about Mario Bros Arcade!
that's a massive improvement as well.
Everything is better from the game play ,graphics,sound and just overall look of it.
if they can get us Popeye i'd buy everything they put out
Re: Excitebike Joins The Hamster Arcade Archives Collection On Switch Tomorrow
@OorWullie Vs Super Mario Bros is great, well worth a purchase especially if you like the online leadboards.

Re: Excitebike Joins The Hamster Arcade Archives Collection On Switch Tomorrow
@Gs69 Donkey Kong has the original 4 levels along with better music.
It's the best version of the game.
Super Mario just changes some level designs to make it harder and removes 1ups along with the 1up trick in 3-1,
Re: Excitebike Joins The Hamster Arcade Archives Collection On Switch Tomorrow
@joey302 I guess? but it's almost 50% of a full year for a game that's only fun for a weekend.
I'll take the Wiiware version or that awesome Excitebike Music Visualizer from the 3ds that made tracks based on your music.
Re: Excitebike Joins The Hamster Arcade Archives Collection On Switch Tomorrow
It's going to be hard to sell these games now that for $20 you can get this game bundled with the Online service for a year.
Donkey Kong and Punch-Out were great but an arcade version of Super Mario and Excitebike? for $8? that's going to do poorly
