Okay, I have a question, between X, AlphaSapphire and Sun, which one should I get?

Yeah haven't played any of the 3DS Pokémon games yet
X killed my hype for pokemon after White made me uber hyped.
Alpha Sapphire is a remake
Sun is the new hotness and brought the hype back for me


Going to hardcore recommend Sun

Nintendo insisted that they weren't selling the Switch at a loss, although again their old way of handling the cost of online is being increasingly rejected by people who want freebies no matter what it costs Nintendo.

Then again, they might specifically be planning a price drop at around the same time that they start charging for the service that would put it below the profit margin and necessitate it, who knows.
Well then, that's partly why Sony and Microsoft charge. Now I'm wondering why Nintendo charges aside from, online costs money to keep up.

Eh, I don't think I ever really play any nintendo games online anyway now that I think about it, so it's not too big of a deal to me. Or at least as long as it's an X-Box Live/PS Plus type deal anyway and I have access to basic internet connection tasks like downloading games/DLC without needing to pay for internet.

The question is; do you want to actually get all the Pokemon?

X is easiest to get into due to some extremely easy mechanics. AlphaSapphire is more challenging. Sun is great in its own way.

All three are good games, but I think Sun is the best pick for now due to having a truly engaging story and bringing a more creative spin to the series.

X and Y are alright games, but I'd recommend them the least out of the 3.
ORAS is the best way to expirience Hoenn IMO so I think you should consider that.
Sun and Moon are my favorite games in the series personally. They feel like a fresh expirience.
I'd recomnend Sun the most.

I finally watched that new Mario trailer and I have two questions. First off, why is there no Oddjob mentions? Secondly, did Mario just rip Sonic's spindash?

What the hell is this? :laugh:

I don't think anyone should consider getting a Gen 6 game over SM
XY get boring just before the second gym and ORAS is good but HMs are bull**** and has less challenge and Pokemon variety
SM are, like, one of the best Pokemon games and, gameplay wise, it's undoubtely THE best
Alrighty, Sun it is. :4wiifit:

You mean "Bull**** the map: a mental torture given to you by Birthright's map designers"

Mario? What Mario game?

Though there is a game similar to it which you seem to be describing. It's called Grand Theft Auto 6. They're going back to Italian gangsters.

After years of demanding mature titles, Nintendo decided to release a more mature, edgier Mario

Unrelated to the caption, but. . .

Mario is five feet tall, they said. Mario being the same height as Sonic is just scaling, they said.

Looks like somebody got retconned. Where's the size gap now! :p

The fact that the switch needs a separate Smart Phone app for voice/group chat really bugs me.

I think having an app is cool, but there still should be a way to do all that through the console itself. Otherwise, I'm just going to use Discord. And what about people who don't have smart phones?

Who knows? :3
I had a question for you guys:

Would it sound insane if I said I was considering buying Breath of the Wild at some point despite having not played a single mainstream Zelda game outside of Phantom Hourglass? Even then, I didn't finish the game; it came with a Zelda themed DS I bought many years ago and I decided to check it out before eventually losing interest.

Not at all! BoTW looks really fresh and exciting for just about anyone. Besides, continuity is not really a major thing with Zelda. You can start any one of the games just fine.

I wouldn't think so...

Breath of the Wild is looking to be a solid game even for those who otherwise wouldn't be interested in Zelda...

This might seem a bit like something rough to say, but..

It's 2017. If you're not near 60 or over and don't have a smartphone. You should probably get one. Senior citizens really do have one of the only excuses to not have one.

Because even if you're poor, you can get a smart phone for pretty cheap. It doesn't have to be the top of the line smartphone, but it'll do a majority of what you need just as well as as the top of the line one.

That's not an excuse. There's tons of people who don't have Smartphones or other smart devices for what ever reason and they're all valid.

A separate Smartphone app should be an extra, not something required. Both the Playstation and Xbox smartphone apps do what the Nintendo app offers, while having those features fully integrated on the actual console itself.

Speaking of which, sites like YouTube really need to stop requiring phone numbers in order to make accounts.

It's for security.

Why is no one talking about that bad ass Sphinx/Lion thing Mario is riding in one part of the Odyssey trailer.

Yoshi is probably thinking he's been replaced for some hot super model or some ****.

Thoughts on this?
Regarding the more reveals to come part; had a feeling what we were shown wasn't it, they did say 80 games in development. I feel like they should have revealed a few more of these games at the event though so the launch line up and year one doesn't feel flimsy.

Regarding Mother 3 and Metroid. I dunno, we'll see.
