Pants Donkey posted:Pokken is good but that game's scene died within months. Maybe being on something besides noted dead system Wii U will help it. That and not having to lug around two switches and then set those up over lan play will help. The switch + dock is pretty portable, thankfully

TFRazorsaw posted:Yeah, and most of the players in it are twenty somethings with jobs or who can afford to travel long distances. Compare that to the mainline Pokemon trailers that are full of kids and focus on them interacting in their community. You're focusing on the wrong thing from my statement. Yes because millenials can afford doing that. Also he does fight a child. I want to be a Nintendo commercial millenials instead of a real one.

ColonelJohnMatrix posted:Whatever I guess. I'd rather them do a low effort Ultra-Moon/Stars for 3DS if it allows to them to come out with a proper Switch game sooner. With the Switch selling as many as they can produce for the foreseeable future and 3ds still chugging along, I get it. As someone else said though, if big first party development resources are spent on the 3DS well into 2018 then I think it's a huge mistake. Well Game Freak isn't a first-party studio, and really for the past half-decade or so they've been acting more and more independent to the point their non-Pokemon titles started coming out on every system but Nintendo ones. Remember the elephant game? REMEMBER THE ELEPHANT?! So Game Freak will keep on doing whatever they want to do.

How does pokken control anyways? Is it a fight stick kind of game or does it control normally. I greatly enjoy arms but could never get into fighting games.

C-SPAN Caller posted:The n3ds can't even run the new Pokemon at consistent 30 fps, short of a new affordable child ds being made I don't know where the next generation of Pokemon will go. Plus the switch won't be expensive forever and it's built stronger than it looks, so Pokemon would probably come to it in a year unless they're going to run the 3ds forever? Read my above post about pokemon release dates. Diamond and Pearl came out ~2 years after the DS came out. X/Y came out ~ 2 years after the 3DS came out. They are getting the last bit out of the 3DS that they can at the end of it's lifespan, and will probably move to switch in about 2 years. I'd like a port as much as the next person, but they've been doing this for a while with seemingly no intentions to stop. Good Soldier Svejk posted:Notably though, those were all compatible with the succeeding console. Eh, true but I don't think that's the large reason for their decisions. It wasn't gamefreaks fault switch can't play 3DS games and gen 7 was made for 3DS.

Also the UI in Sun/Moon is complete rear end and feels like it was done to make it easier to port to a system without a second screen. Compare the UI in gen 7 to gen 6 and there's really no excuse for it if they're not planning SOME kind of Switch release. There's also no reason we can't have Ultra Sun/Moon on both systems.

https://twitter.com/JoeyPockett/status/872100407979454465 I know it's E3 season and everyone and their dog is faking leaks but I've seen a few people post variations on this now. Seems like it was on the press site for a few minutes before getting removed so either someone hosed up or they're waiting to do the Switch announcement in front of a larger audience.

VideoGames posted:But you also said this: But... .they are  We are seeing stock sell throughs online to more scalpers due to limited supply still. Overall sales numbers shows a steep decline from April to May (Also due in part to limited supply) but during the summer, I still expect to see very flat line sales through the end of the year, and the subsequent overstock and price drop to compensate by the fall (October ish) Similar to what happened with the Gamecube and Wii U.

Dr. VooDoo posted:Even in rereleases? Dang nevermind then The only close comparison is Black and White 2, which came out ~5 months before the Wii U and still only had the Wii in the players room. Every other re-release has been farther away from the latest console to not matter. It's probably just the weirdness in that the switch is both "the next console that we're purposely avoiding a release on for now" and also "the next main console which we have to reference in the intro kids room". C-SPAN Caller posted:Game Freak I take it has enough staff to do small pet projects now besides pokemon? They've been doing side-projects in-between pokemon for a while. Drill dozer, HarmoKnight, Tembo, and now Giga Wrecker.

I have seen some people get legit upset thinking they feel their Wii U console and games investment was invalidated by these Deluxe versions of games and wanting to know why stuff like Battle Mode couldn't have been DLC for the Wii U versions. And like, you certainly have a point there, stuff like Battle Mode for Mario Kart 8 could have been released as free DLC the same time Mario Kart 8 Deluxe came out on the Switch. But also like, why would they do that? Then you'd have people saying there's no real reason to pick up Deluxe at that point. I feel like if you purchased a Wii U by the early months of 2014 that you knew what you were getting into by then. Like I feel around 2014 was when we first started having discussions here about how the next Nintendo system could probably get a port MK8 early in the life-cycle in order to keep momentum going.
