Nintendo has always conducted business to the beat of their own drum, ignoring the concept of console generations altogether. It’s nothing new and neither is the Nintendo/M$ team up. Once support for 3DS is officially pulled, Nintendo will still be raking in money as Switch will become the technical successor to 3DS…

You significantly underestimate the amount of casuals who just buy a console to play Madden and Call of Duty. If Sony comes out of this gen as “the bad guy” preventing players from gaming with friends on other devices, that’s more than enough to sway players’ opinions on which next gen console they want. The 360…

I think you’re assessment is correct for the most part; they’re not directly competing in the home console market in particular, but they sure as rain are competing for market dominance. The Switch has already sold an impressive number of units and, once they inevitably phase out the 3DS, they’ll continue to fight for…

Exactly. Last gen 360 was the console carrying a big stick and now it’s PS4. Call it retaliation, greed, etc, but the difference between now and then is the fact that cross-play, something that used to seem like a pipe dream, is real and they’re seeing it in action with games like Rocket League and Fortnight; the…

Classic. 

It baffles me that you’re in Brooklyn and had that much trouble finding folks to raid with. I’m in NE Ohio (~1hr South of Cleveland) and players were out in droves. Cemeteries, churches, parks, random obscure landmarks, etc; you name it and people were there so long as a Lugia/Articuno was active. Since raids began,…

JET SET RADIOOOOOOO! God damn, that brings back great memories.

This video has to be at least...three times bigger than this!

Nintendo hasn’t previously shown that they should be given the benefit of a doubt when it comes to their online services. I’m happy to pay for a service that’s even just somewhat comparable to that of PS4 and XB1. Hell, I’d be ok with original XBL functionality. This whole app-based nonsense isn’t helping my…

Because sentient toxic sludge is way cooler than sentient ice cream.

I started w/ gen 1 pkmn blue as a tyke, so I can still be biased at times, but Pepperidge Farm remembers wrong (dementia?). Sure, Pikachu = electric mouse, Pidgey = bird, etc, but I shudder to think about what type of animal Mr. Mime represents since a French kiddie diddler isn’t an animal I’ve heard of. I’ve also…

COD4's tight corridors and overall multiplayer level design are what made the game great, in my opinion. I got burned out from COD after BLOPS 1, but I can’t recall any maps from later installments that put the emphasis on tactical teamwork. Sure, teammates could still go rambo and do their own thing, but the level…

I religiously watched the first Indigo league season as a kid and continued up until sometime mid-Johto. Since then (fast forward 20 years), I’ll catch an episode if it’s on and that’s about it. However, I guess my childhood self just assumed Ash won the league and went on to become a Pokemon Master and has since…

I can see why he’d be a little irritated by a majority of folks who are using the app’s own API to track down pokes. I get it. However, I don’t understand how he can sit there and bitch when Pokevision’s popularity is almost entirely driven by the fact that it’s been almost two weeks and Niantic has yet to fix/ “turn…

The most reliable method I’ve tried to hatch eggs with has been leaving the app open while connected to my car charger while driving to work. Total 45 minute commute with an average of maybe 10 combined minutes of stop & go traffic. I’ve noticed eggs trying to hatch while going as fast as 25mph. I don’t advocate…

Apparently the 3 step lock isn’t a glitch, but a temporary fix to stabilize servers.
