I don’t really buy that, even if it was just referencing the texture of the Pokemon itself, it would still have to be a deliberate choice to reference the texture of the specific Pokemon that used it instead of just referencing the default texture. I also don’t believe that it’s just referencing the texture, the…

I don’t think I like this sort of thing, having one-off mechanically distinct forms of old Pokemon that you can’t get any other way. It just feels... messy. If it’s a form of Ursaluna, you should be able to get it by evolving Ursaring. Maybe they’ll add an evolution method someday. I hope they don’t expand on this…

Saying you would’ve only paid $130 if you didn’t have game pass is irrelevant because you got to experience $285 worth of stuff BECAUSE you had game pass. That makes it a good value.

I’m gonna guess the mod just set your pronouns based on the body type you pick and didn’t literally remove pronouns from the game

That’s fair, except for the Peach game, the article mostly doesn’t imply that the movie itself was the reason for these games to exist. The thing is, if it was meant to tie in to the movie, wouldn’t they release closer to the movie itself? The soonest one is about 6 months after the movie came out, by which time the…

Yeah this article is an absolutely insane take. most of these were announced in June and were certainly more than 2 months into development. And even though the 2 announced today are remakes, I still very much doubt they’re only 4 months into development.

Pokemon is both and that’s just not acceptable for a property that valuable.

Sure, the devs have said that, but that doesn’t have to be set in stone forever. The fact that they’re remaking/remastering two big Mario RPGs at the same time suggests to me that they’re not currently sticking too firmly to that position.

Yeah I’d guess it’s gonna be closer to the holidays. I think the only reason the Switch came out when it did was that the Wii U was so dead that they just had to get the Switch out ASAP.

The Peach game looks great, and there are a few remakes/remasters of games I haven’t played that I’m a bit interested in. Unfortunately I’m really not into the idea of roguelike Splatoon which is a shame because I love the portal/nier aesthetic and I thought the octo expansion was stellar. Might give it a try but I…

I feel like these things go back and forth. Like the entire New Super Mario Bros series was pretty stagnant and then for Super Mario Wonder they were encouraged to do as much new stuff as they could. They just seem to kind of switch back and forth between playing it safe and trying to be more original. I wouldn’t be…

Huh? Looks like it’s running fine to me. And the Switch date launch window means nothing for the Switch 2. There are still more Switch games/DLC coming after that.

Yeah release dates are arbitrary anyway. If the game launched on September 6th and there was no early access, nobody would be saying “hey why didn’t this come out 5 days sooner?” The attitude of “I’m not getting to play it until 5 days after everyone else!!!” feels like it’s much more likely to just make you unhappy…

 Games are being artificially delayed

Yeah I’ve had at least 3 sets of Joy Cons start drifting, and I don’t think I can remember a single other system where I had any drift at all. Anecdotal evidence is anecdotal, but this definitely seems more common on Switch than other systems.

I’ve definitely had drift in both

sex and sexual assault

Seems extremely plausible to me tha this is getting ready for an announcement of Switch 2 launching with a new Mario Kart (not necessarily in the next few months, but if not then early next year)

I think that would be a cool idea but would be a LOT less approachable than a 2D mario designer is, so I don’t think Nintendo would want to do that. I’m sure it’s still not easy to design a really good level in 2D, but laying down some paths to a goal with some jumps and obstacles in 2D is pretty basic and you can…

And we can see how good their judgement was during the Wii U days. I choose to believe they learned from their worst selling console (or I suppose second worst, even the Wii U didn’t flop as hard as the Virtual Boy) and won’t just try to coast by on the success of the Switch like they did with the Wii U.
