You've got to look at it another way. Inafune has started his own studio, that decidedly does not have the funds that Capcom had, meaning that not only does he have to pay for the work resources, but also licensing, legalities, publishing, and everything else we're not that aware of.

To be fair, the Mewtwo didn't have any moves that are super effective against a dragon-type, and both were at level 100, where Mewtwo's strong stats don't matter as much as they did in past games, when you find him at level 70, and most of the Elite Four are at level 50-ish. Plus, he obviously doesn't play Pokemon…

Most people who aren't well versed in Pokemon likely haven't played it since the originals, so they're used to seeing mostly animal-based designs. No harm, no foul.

Overrated is a relative term. It's like saying that, say, Jessica Alba is a goddess..... which she certainly isn't, but it doesn't detract from the fact that she is one of the most beautiful and personable actresses in recent memory. Now, that is also an opinion of mine...... merely an opinion, however if we look at…

As I see it, there will be plenty of pre-order sales with PS4 and Xbox One- but they'll fizzle out after that for a while. Some people can't wait to own the new-new, and are swallowed up by the hype machine and marketing. Most people wait until the price drops, or killer software comes out these days. Consoles and…

Sounds like the cunts who always tell me "The pre-order bonuses are very limited, and are first come, first served", when I know damn well they only got like 5 pre-orders of the game, and I'm not the last one to pick it up. When I lived in central VA, the Gamestop employees were notorious for it, and everybody who…

My original 3DS lasted about 8 with wireless on, until I got the Nyko battery- now it lasts forever and a half. My XL seems to consume a lot less power with wireless on, but still doesn't get the life of my revamped original.

What part do you get the most passes in? I live fairly close, and every time I walk through Manhattan, I get about 3 or 4 in a whole day- midtown all the way down, usually 59th street to LES, and maybe back. It's been a while, but the few times I did it, I got far less results than I could imagine- even hitting up…

What Americans consider pizza to be actually IS American cuisine. From all accounts I've heard, even from Italians from Italy, it was historically never really more than a way to utilize food and dough scraps in Italy. Using tomatoes and mozzarella was a tribute to the Italian flag, allegedly- but from what I…

I'll go with a new Four Swords multiplayer mode, and the possibility of downloading the original LTTP with some kind of in-game bonus placed into it, sort of like the GBA version.

Ha ha- I know. Writing on Kotaku has caused me to re-evaluate my capitalization usage, and has even brought my attention to grammar usage to a whole new level. Not to say I was ever ignorant of proper grammar usage, punctuation or the like, but due to Facebook, I did tend to forget about capitalization for a long…

Pokemon Black 2 taught me that when you JUST beat a game, then replay it in a slightly different order.... you have a hard time telling where you've been, what you've done, and what you've caught without looking at maps and pokedexes constantly. It's like living your life in a different dimension from the beginning,…

"IIIIIIII haaave the POOOOWEEEERRRRRR!!!!"..... is all I can hear in my head when I see the first sketch.

This game looks dope! I've always felt that Sonic games lacked polish in 3D for some reason, but it never stopped me from enjoying the hell out of them. This one has a new level of visual finesse, and although it looks a bit Mario Galaxy-ish, I think the level design fits into the Sonic universe perfectly. This'll…

I feel like the app store is becoming one huge digital China.

I'd forgo the dual analog in a heartbeat for the monster camera lock-on. Of course, both at once would be ideal, but just tapping or double tapping that L button has presented itself as much quicker, easier, more accurate and just plain natural at this point, that it makes the dual analog seem moot. Of course, it…

As much as I would prefer it on the 3DS, SOMEBODY has to bring this game to the west. A multi-platform launch stateside would dictate that whichever handheld brings it first will get a fistful of my dollars.

Yeah, I was that way between 16 and about 21..... except it was more like I wouldn't tell people I played games like Pokemon, and still enjoyed the crap out of them. I just avoided ignoramuses giving me their tired "It's a kid's game" spiel and got on with it. Later in my twenties, I could give a rat's ass how a…

I agree, but most people don't see titles like these as AAA because they're not in blistering 3D render, and thus don't see them as more than an overpriced iphone game. Sad, because people are missing out.

I played MH for the first time on my PSP and hated it.... then I tried it again for 3DS. The lock-on cam makes a WOOOORLD of difference in effectiveness and satisfaction. If MH4 comes out here, for the Vita or the 3DS.... whoever releases it first will get all of my money.
