Unfinished game that costs over 100$ (before you even add in the NSO subscription you need to get certain pokemon that you can only get online).

Does anyone remember when a complete pokemon game used to cost 40$?

And yet they still refuse to fix the multiplayer mode which has been unplayable since release date.

unfortunately seems to be more modern nintendo slop. A shame it won't be able to live up to the original prime trilogy.

Steam innovating and doing what nintendon't.

@Bolt_Strike Never. Nintendo is too greedy for that.

4/10. Not enough innovation over the gamecube title and should have been half the price

I fully expect the ""dlc"" to do similarly well. Then it will be on to the next rushed out unbaked game. The money tree isn't going to dry up any time soon.

It's crazy that this game released with such a huge price tag. It's not different enough from the first game to justify that price. It's just more of the same but with hd and skylanders swap force.

Just like Nintendo's games, it will be unfinished, overpriced and people will still buy it.

Clair obscure is going to win. DK bananza has a chance since some people will mindlessly go for anything nintendo puts out regardless of quality but I think even those people can see the obvious winner.

This is a nice cosplay. Now where are the actual professionally made costumes?

Rip to the old days of taking time on your games and not rushing out an unfinished yearly release.

Legends Z-A is pretty graphically impressive for a ps2 game.

Console has been out for half a year and one of its main features still doesnt work for many games

I'd be very envious about the amount of money they're making on this "successor".

The botw/totk rito is the only one that looks okay. The rest of them look really ugly to me.

So it's content that could have been in the base game. Cool.

The game came out in an unplayable mess but we gotta make that dlc money guys!

Considering Legends ZA only includes a little over 200 of the 1000 pokemon and still reuses models and animations that have existed since X and Y, it's no surprise. Hopefully palworld will force them to finally create something new.

Sadly this seems to be the truth. People will buy anything nintendo nowadays so they can do whatever they want to at this point.

based on the games themselves? 9/10
Based on how they are being priced and distributed? 2/10

Remember back when legendary events opened up a new area in the game? Going to Darkrai's island in platinum was great. Now you just get handed a code for a shiny legendary.

Why do they all look ugly? like seriously, they're making the botw models look like masterpieces by comparison.

Another pokemon game, another uninspired mess. In other news water is wet.

The switch will outsell the ps2. Not because it's better (it's not.) but because gamers will buy anything nowadays. look no further than the switch 2 and 80 dollar mario kart 8 dlc.

It helps to compare inferior games to their superiors that actually had more care put into them.

Honestly very disappointed in this game. I've seen tons of gameplay and it doesn't look anywhere even close to the level of polish a game this expensive should have. You can definitely tell this was a rush job to port this to switch 2.

I look forward to seeing how they continue to tank the pokemon franchise with low quality yearly releases.

Donkey Kong bananza makes for a very graphically impressive Wii U game.

Nintendo is doing a great job of encouraging people to just buy a switch 1 with mario kart 8 deluxe instead.

The console's been out for almost a month now and they only have 4 games for one of the biggest selling points lol

Now where is the update to make the pokemon not look ugly and for the gameplay to be inspired and not just the same uninspired formula?

Ah gen 2. Back when Pokemon was good. It's a shame about what the series has become over the last 20 years.

That's too much considering the low quality of Pokemon games. Then again, they know that people will buy anything regardless of the price if it says Pokemon on it so it makes sense.

Classic nintendo. "Can't let anyone record this 30 second clip! We'll sue you!"

"No plans" yet. They will choose the cheap option in the end. Very nintendo

Now can they fix the game to not be the worst in the series? I know pokemon has been going downhill for two decades now but these games were pitiful.

They dont like that others are doing monster catching games better than them. Considering its been over two decades since the last good pokemon game, I'm glad palworld is rising from pokemons ashes.

This proves people will buy anything as long as it has the pokemon name on it.

@johnvboy I've watched the reveal trailer a few times now and it really doesn't look that much different from Mario Kart 8, game that's over a decade old now.

Nintendo understocking a console? Odd, where have I heard this story before?

I expect it to finally be able to run 8th generation quality games but that might be shooting for the moon a bit. Based on what we saw from that new Mario Kart game, it's not going to be much of a step up from the Switch 1

What's the point? The console is about to die now that the switch 2 is coming out. Just move on.

Breath of the wild and xenoblade x on this list? Really? Open worlds are supposed to have things to do. Not a bunch of empty grass plains. I think if those two were released on the gamecube it might be worth talking about but on the switch there's tons of way better open world games.

They should go their separate ways. Maybe if Pokemon was actually forced to be on a modern console the games could be halfway decent.

You make an app to listen to you music, make it exclusive to online members, make it only available on phone and it takes you this long to finally add the mario 3 soundtrack?

I doubt it'll be able to compete with the steam deck. It's been the best handheld gaming device released in almost a decade.

Are we actually surprised by this though? They have been too lazy to put in more than half the pokemon in any game for the past decade. I don't see why one of their mobile games would be any different.

This is why virtual console (or ideally physical) will always be better. You don't own these games. It's a scam.

Pokemon hasn't had any style for about 20 years now. This would probably be impressive if it were released during the ps2 days. But in 2025? This is just another rushed game to make money.
