Can't be too insulted considering they're the best selling entries in the franchise after the installments on the original Game Boy despite at this point being barely more then a year old (and are getting really close to passing G/S/C.) While pushing interest in the franchise high enough to make 2020 the most profitable year ever for what is the world's most profitable intellectual property.

So, uh, yeah, I think the children are pretty cool with it.

how many pokemon it's going to have

Unless it's just a number someone pulled from their rear end, supposedly we do know this, and New Pokemon Snap has about 200 Pokemon. I'm fine with a smaller number of Pokemon though, it will hopefully allow them to focus more on unique actions and setpieces for each and not just "Hey look here's yet another Pokemon standing around."

The difficulty of battling in Pokemon games peaked at Platinum

RBY had weird confusing 90s push block puzzles but the movesets of every opposing mon was downright embarrassing, Platinum campaign bosses could definitely wreck you

Talking about embarrassing movesets just reminded me that in a game with two fire types, Gamefreak decided to have one of the Elite Four be a fire type user in Diamond/Pearl. And since there weren't enough fire types in the game, they gave him poo poo like "Drifloon, but it uses Flamethrower."

Plays like LA Machineguns/Gunblade in case anybody remembers those. Gyro/thumbstick controls that you can adjust to your liking. Arcade Mode and Score Attack Mode. 8 Stages. Kinda pricey at $10 but it was on sale in November.

I like it

If we're talking about rail shooters you can't forget Panzer Dragoon Remake! https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/panzer-dragoon-remake-switch/

Can't wait for the Zwei remake to come out, that was my favorite Panzer Dragoon game.

I actually think this would work, just take 151 from among all of the pokemon and throw them into a game and spend the time on making the exploration, battle system, and story interesting. LOL it's gamefreak we'll get a linear hallway from beginning to end with a bad story and zero effort battles. Oh wait we had that already. FF13 wishes it was this bad.

I'm pretty sure some of the side games had a more limited dex and nobody complained then. It's when the mainline games gently caress it up that people get upset.

We have two grey joycons (one's been fixed, and the other one is starting to drift), as well as a SNES30 Pro and SF30 Pro. Just ordered a Pro+ and can't wait!

My pro-controller's going strong thankfully, but I'm strongly considering getting the Zelda joy-cons. It'd be cool if there were a bundle with Skyward Sword to make one or the other a bit cheaper, but fat chance.

I'm not sure how much I care about Pokemon as a franchise anymore in particular, I just want more meaty gigantic Nintendo IP games. Considering how much $ both Nintendo and GameFreak make it's mega disappointing that the last effort titles were Odyssey and BotW.

They could fund projects like this without breaking a sweat but it makes no sense to dump money into big games when fans are content with the drip of $60 smaller scoped titles. I'm fairly certain we're only ever going to see those kinds of games alongside hardware launches from now on. It's an advantageous biz position for them to be in since they don't have the fidelity/scope expectations of Ubisoft or Bethesda but it's still disappointing.

man, it seems like whenever i'm hit with an item in mario kart i just immediately stop and it takes like three seconds to get going again. but then i see some competitors get hit and they, yea, get interrupted but are still able to either move a touch or get going super quick. am i missing something? i'm using tanooki mario and the blue falcon if those matter.
