I’m curious. What makes the difference between SuMo being decent and USUM being the only bad games? I understand that it makes almost no sense to buy the Ultra games if you have the first ones since the games are incredibly similar and the little differences are not worth the price of a full game, but as standalones,…

Interestingly, the text for Mario vs Rabbids was done by Ubisoft with Nintendo just supervising, while all the other Mario games are done by Treehouse.

It’s not as much that they try to convince everybody to use it, it’s more about Lego using their trademark properly in marketing stuff (from a grammatical and legal point of view)... Pretty much all companies are doing that, you’ll easily find “Playstation 4 system” on the Sony website or “Kleenex tissue” on the…

It’s not about losing the IP. It’s about losing the right to complain later on when people use the trademark without your consent. An easier way to understand that is that at some point people would call any console a Nintendo (or a Playstation a little later for that matter). Nintendo has always taken steps to avoid…

How could they prevent something from leaking? (honest question) How would they be aware that something could leak?

What do you think they are supposed to do?

Yeah, as other have mentioned, if the content you add to the game is not consistent with the rating of the game, you’ll need to get a new rating. It’s not only true for lootboxes. If you make a pretty nice game, and then decide to add blood and crude language to your DLC, you’ll need to get this content rated (which…

Couldn’t you just wash your hands before touching your controllers?

Yeah, you definitely won’t be able to get the repair if you changed the shells. That’s the good thing about doing the modification yourself, you can always switch back to the original color if you want to send them back..

It’s worth noting that big companies also use E3 in a pure industry/business way. Lots of big retailers come to get access to a lot of info, content and demos from all the video games companies, which makes it easy to send their sales team spend three days to discuss and prepare their orders for the rest of the year.…

The explanation for closing universities and canceling big events, is that this virus is spreading fast (faster than the seasonal flu at least) and health infrastructures have limited resources.

But the town was also shared in New Leaf. The first player to start a game would be the mayor and decide the layout of the town. Any other player would play in that exact same town. The resources (fossils, ore) were limited, but would reset everyday. I haven’t played the older games, but this seems to be no different…

Well, that’s the problem. It’s not wrong to disagree with somebody (even if you have nothing to back your views, it might be dumb but it’s not wrong), but he didn’t talk about her opinions or how he didn’t agree with them, he just went ad hominem which is always poor form...

When they initially came out, you just had 200 or so Pokémon, but the national Dex unlocked once you traded with another game from the same gen like FireRed or Colosseum/Gale of Darkness. So the data for all the Pokémon was present in the game. I can clearly remember reaching 383 in Ruby as I only missed the mythicals…

Best of luck!

Would you care to explain? I said that to the best of my knowledge and memories. I have always been under the impression that the data for all Pokémon was present in all the main game of the series.

For your 2, the Pokémon have always been at the regular price on the console they came out on. But since they used to come out on portable console, they were cheaper ($39.99 on 3DS). The “twice the price” is either an exaggeration or a miscalculation.

In all the previous games, it was possible to play with every single Pokémon ever created. Most of the game, you couldn’t catch every Pokémon in a single game, but you could still import the other ones from previous generations or other game from the same generation. This generation, they decided to not include all…

Honestly that would be the ideal scenario. I think it would be hard to implement though, as “predatory microtransaction schemes” is not as clear-cut as “in-game purchases” (I mean it’s super clear in many cases, but there are plenty of games which are in a more grey area).

The result seems to be pretty much the same at this point. The publisher sends their ESRB submission with all the pertinent content (including in-game purchases if they are present) and ESRB just tell them what needs to appear in the logo.
