Boktai please. How? I don’t know, just make it happen

As I responded to someone else, there’s never been a cross-gen main series pokemon game. It’s not impossible but there’s absolutely no precedent and shouldn’t be considered likely to happen.

except it’s a mission started *by a distribution*???

It’s goofy and I can’t say I love the new mythical’s design but I like the inversion of the Momotaro story and I appreciate that it’s actually a little mission in-game instead of a distribution for the first time in ages (at least for new mythicals). I would love them to get back to sending you off to some remote…

I mean yeah, of course, I’m not saying the studio heads are leaking that info to some random ai company, but lots of people work for big game companies, and there’s always the chance of things leaking, even from reputable companies

I’m sure that Nintendo didn’t officially share anything with them but I’m sure that there are third party devs out there that have that info, so who knows if some of those devs let slip a little more info than they should have to someone they shouldn’t have. But also I would totally believe marketing stunt. We…

I would have though they would keep selling it because I thought they usually kept selling systems for a while after the previous one came out, but looking on Wikipedia it’s not so clear (some seem to have lasted a while, others didn’t or don’t have data) so I have no idea what to expect. It would be nice for them to…

I think Dial of Destiny is bad but I think all of the others are fine? Great Circle isn’t the most exciting but it’s fine.

If there’s a new Pokémon this year, it will definitely be a cross-gen release.

I don’t think last year seemed that lean going into it. We knew we were getting TotK, a new FE, a new Pikmin, the continuation of Splatoon support, the culmination of the Xenoblade 3 DLC, the rest of the Mario Kart DLC, and we could easily guess Pokemon was getting DLC. I think the only new first party games (not…

What I wanna know is, will they just call this thing switch 2?

There have certainly been some stinkers, especially in the past couple decades, but I feel like most of those could have been good with better execution. Secret Rings for example was properly bad, not just middling, but I think it could have been good with better controls. I don’t even think Frontiers was a really bad…

Yeah but people said the same thing last year. “Fall 2023, just you watch!” people opined. Didn’t happen.

Once they announce the new thing sales of the Switch are going to flatline, so Nintendo probably wants to keep the time between announcement and release as small as possible.

I don’t see any reason they would wait that long to announce it. I don’t think they’re going to want to stay quiet for the first several months of the year when usually they like to have news early in the year. They could just do some very low-key third party partner directs but their lineup is already thin enough…

The holiday season seems like the absolute latest it can possibly launch, and my guess would be on Fall. The upcoming slate for the Switch is very thin, and the system is almost 7 years old. There’s no way the next system doesn’t come out this year.

It seems most likely to me that it’ll be revealed by the end of February, so that Pokemon can announce a game for it on Pokemon day (2/27). The latest I can see it happening is early April (right after Princess Peach Showtime releases)

This will either be the game Pokémon fans deserve and Game Freak will never deliver...

Being updated to say it can be played on both Switch and Switch 2 makes sense, sounds like a good marketing move. If old copies are disappearing, that seems like they’d have to release the new versions soon, right? Like next couple weeks? And if the new versions mention Switch 2 compatibility, then the Switch 2 would…

If Sonic Frontiers was them breaking the Sonic cycle, I’d like them to kindly place me back into the Sonic cycle. Frontiers was an interesting game, in the sense that it was interesting to see what bizarre design choices they made.
