Yeah, they’ve definitely put some nicer textures/shaders on them for Go, but the models and animations are from the 3DS games.

Aren’t the models already scaled down? I was under the impression that Pokemon Go used HD character models directly from Game Freak? Sure, maybe the UI and environments will require some tidying up, but compared to all the new content they usually add in the .5 gen games, that seems fairly straightforward if the…

To be fair, Monster Hunter XX is going to have 3DS/Switch crossplay, and with Pokemon Bank it’s not gonna be hard to transfer your stuff over. I mean, the entire point of Bank was to make sure your collection was future proofed against that sort of thing.

It’s certainly possible, and November has been a common window for Pokemon in the past. I just kinda get the feeling they’re going to want Mario to stand alone a bit. I don’t think they’re going to need to push the Switch very hard over the holidays. Certainly Pokemon is gonna shift more systems whenever it comes out,…

Stars (the theoretical third entry to Sun/Moon) has been rumored for Switch for a long while now. 8 minutes is plenty for a short blurb about the history of the franchise, Pokemon has always been excited about new systems, yadda yadda, and then a short reveal trailer.

It’s interesting to consider if it’s just an inevitable consequence of these kinds of narrative, where escalation is the name of the game right from the start. There’s always someone stronger, until you reach a point where you have to go elsewhere just to avoid repetition. Yeah, I get where you’re coming from.

There have always been parallels between Goku and Superman. Given the length of time Dragonball has been running for and the years the Silver Age occurred during, that’s probably a really interesting comparison to make.

Every time I see a cool looking indie game now my first thought is “man, hope that comes out on Switch”, but somehow I have a feeling the giant demon baby ripping a guy in half might be a little rich for even 2017 Nintendo’s taste.

This is a good, balanced and well informed opinion that, agree or disagree, deserves a lot more attention than whatever standard internet shit flinging is currently accruing stars and comments at the top of the thread

Wait, Gunslinger is still a thing? Well, that has a whole bunch of implications...

My guess? Ranked crucible play and they want Blizz to handle anti-cheat and suchlike

Hey Mike, is that Xbox game still glued to your ceiling?

I think his character gets the least real growth of anyone in the movie, but I think considering the themes that’s kinda necessary. All of the other characters are pretty much defined by having had family relationships that were either absent or massively dysfunctional. This is a movie about this group of people who…

3.40 if you dint want to watch the whole thing, but kids these days are, in fact, better behaved in general today than... Practically ever.

It’s a silly argument, really. 3DS launched with a bunch of titles and the most appealing on for me on day 1 was a fairly lousy Ridge Racer game. That had such a lousy first six months Nintendo had to slash the price so deep that early adopters got 20 VC games as an apology. 3DS ended up as a complete juggernaut.

So, for a bit of extra perspective...

He used to go by Besieger and he’s agreed to appear under that name in the novel to avoid any potential legal issues.

I cannot fail to star any commenter who brings The Replacements into the conversation. Good shout.

I have actually found this a really fascinating question about Poppy. She’s not just a YouTuber, she’s an artist signed to Island records. The project is, at least on some level, a satire of the mainstream music industry. So... Is it a clever fuck you to the music industry that Titanic Sinclair is taking their money…

Jesus christ, nobody tell Smogon about this. CAP will never be the same. Weeks of arguments about the precise mechanics of Wharmwbra Darp
