Being required to make sure the game runs on base PS4/Xbox One, doesn't mean it's required to run well on them. It's very possible that you'll have games that run at 60fps on the upgraded systems, but only 30fps on the base, or lower draw distance, muddier visuals. It's not going to happen the moment the upgraded consoles come out, but it will happen eventually. You're not going to give devs more power and not expect them to take full advantage of.

Sure it has to run on base, but it's not running at the same perfomance, and the Switch is weaker than the PS4/Xbox One, and even weaker when it's portable. That is a lot of stuff devs have to be mindful of and that makes the Switch unnattractive, for now. If it turns out to be a money maker, then there's less issues.
Well I guess it's a good thing the Switch is coming out when it is, then. It gives devs time to enter the initial wave before they start working on actively gimping their games on the less powerful systems and, as Kimishima actually stated in one of the interviews I read, the fate of the Switch should be at least somewhat obvious by the time the first year comes and goes.

...Okay, now that I've gotten a chance to see my username.

Which one of ya pranked me!?



Ah, so it looks like Ravio does dip into his other weapons then the Hammer, that's pretty cool.

You know, seeing this DLC reminds me of how much things can shift for a game with just one moment. Hyrule Warriors when it initially released had pretty lukewarm reception and not a lot of fans cared about it. Then we got the E3 trailer with Midna, and since that point the game was not only did people come around to it, it became a success, got a sequel and support for over two years. If I told anyone that Hyrule Warriors would've gotten all of that at the beginning, most probably would've written me off, so it's kind of funny to look back in retrospect and see how things shifted in its favor from that one trailer.
I do enjoy Hyrule Warriors a lot more than initially yes.

Perhaps it may have been because the game initially limited itself a bit too much solely on content from Ocarina of Time, Twilight Princess and Skyward Swaord (And a little of Majora's Mask) but after Legends came along and it included content from various other Zelda games such as the Wind Waker and the handheld titles. The game feels like a much more complete experience and a bigger celebration to the Zelda series a whole.

But that might just be me though.... ^^;

Can't wait to create some spoopy cupcakes in our college campus in a couple of hours.

What's really spoopier is how there are tons of birds all over the trees and lamp posts this morning chirping.

...Where have you been?

I've seen nothing but praise for the game since day one. In both the Zelda and Dynasty Warriors fandoms.

Some people are already complaining.

As long as this new character serves a purpose, I'm fine with it.
Is it finally happening?

Eh, at least it can't be worse than seeing birds from this guy.

I think the REAL question is: If they're introducing a new character. . .is it a hero or a villain? Or someone in-between?

Because the last time they said anything about a new character in the main franchise, we got the Deadly Six.

Speaking of Halloween & Killer Instinct, I really hope KI will get some Halloween accessories.

Christmas accessories are nice and all, but it only covers 3 characters and limited uses outside of Xmas.

They're already gimping games.

A part of me is hoping it's a bad guy. I'd like to see Sonic have some more villains.

On the other hand, I'd prefer if Eggman was the one who caused all that destruction in the teaser.

Watched the PG shorts:
Really liked the "Delta Episode". Rayquaza vs Deoxys was amazing.

The second episode was pure nightmare fuel.
After reading that I thought it was a spoiler

Then I saw the Thumbnail for the video

So, I wonder if that about Brendan/ May is canon.

He and Red should battle, with Red's Mewtwo

You completely dismissed Futa, literally meaning hermaphrodite, as nothing more than a woman with a ****

That sounds to me like your dismissing their unique identity completely as something to be seen as an insult
Well, the thing is there's nothing to say or show that male Primirina or Gradevoir have both sexual organs. Just because they have traits that apply to female fashion doesn't make them female. That'd mean that every male animal IRL with much more femine characteristics to us is a 'hermadaphodite'. Such as many male birds being much prettier than females.

At most that'd work if either had breasts, because that counts as "futa" even if they don't have a vagina. :p (The difference being that newhalfs went through a transition.) But even then that's just something people add to them, which I don't even need to explain why they do and why it doesn't apply to the pokemon franchise itself.

Darn it why must everything resolve into porn?

Please, You both sound ****ing stupid right now
And unfornately, you've gone much far below both with a reply like that.

Generations stuff!

Oh my god, this is easily tied with Episode Two for favorite episode for me.

Gabby and Ty have long since been some of my favorite minor characters in the games, so seeing them here was a treat. And in the Delta Episode no less! Action, an awesome battle, Gabby and Ty being awesome, a bit of comedy, and me cheering on Gabby for not giving up the flashdrive. You go girl! **** cover ups. Expose that. Yeah.

All in all I give it a "Give me a Gabby and Ty miniseries, Netflix"/10


Holy **** that sense of dread throughout the whole thing. Chansey was adorable and derpy as hell. Nice levity brought to the whole thing. The Old Chateau was always, IMO, one of the scariest Pokémon locations, matched only by that Strange House in Unova. They showed that really well.

I give it a "The ghost girl would have made me need new pants had it not been for Chansey"/10

To be fair there's nothing that confirms that
Cheryl and Chansey died.

That's honestly all I think it's doing

It's eating their dreams. That wouldn't really kill it

Although I'd argue it's also using Nightmare, which Chansey would be immune to. Although we had no confirmation that Chansey WAS having a nightmare

"One of the ideas put forward is that Capcom should re-release Street Fighter 5 as a Super, Ultra or whatever version"

That's exactly WHY I haven't bought the game

The community apparently wants this, and this is the reason I haven't bought the game
Kinda completely justified in this case.

The launch game was such a dumpster fire that it turned people off the game at all and while the game is better now, first impressions are everything.

I think launching Super Duper Special Hyper Street Fighter V might actually work for them. Re-release the game with all current updates and Season Pass content (not the CPT stuff since that one's money is for a prize pool).

There's no reason you can't watch the Hoenn ones.

Like, I know you like to always proclaim you hate Hoenn, but that's just petty.

*Shrugs* I mean, I didnt any of the episodes, this has nothing to do with hoenn.

Sinnoh is just my favorite place so now I wanna watch

But really, me watching a spacific arc isnt because of that, sorry

Not if the Chansey was hypnotized as well as Cheryl.

So with that upcoming Animal Crossing Direct, I decided to buy some amiibo cards and amiibo. The amiibo cards are $4 at my Gamestop, and Timmy/Tommy and Kicks were $7 each, so I said why not. Im pretty sure that the price for the Animal Crossing amiibo will go up once the update releases.

say hypotheticly, I sold my Smash aniibos, would I get good..ish money off of them?
Most likely not. Used amiibo go for like, four bucks at most, and it depends on who you're selling.

Did you get amiibo festival? Thats the only way to get Digby, unless they started to sell them as singular units.

what

I don't get this. Game footage on the video doesn't mean you will have actual performance issues in portable mode.

That was added post-production.

Those new generations.

I loved how the first one was a NASA conspiracy episode. I also like how they hid whether or not it's Brendan or May up there.

Chansey was derpy as could be in the second though, to the point where every time it spoke I had to laugh. The episode was pretty nice though.

Its probably Brendan, he was wearing the Magma suit, and he had faced Team Magma as soon as Maxie was departing.
