This is nuts. I'm in
You know I was thinking that Poochie & Yoshi Woolly World 3ds game could be coming also to Switch, simoulatneous release with 3DS. Same for the new Pikmin 2D game.
Huh?
Not really sure what to say. I'm just disappointed. Like, I'd be fine with it being late if it offered significantly different content, or I'd be fine if it made launch as just a third version.
But both just feels lazy

Well, shit. Way to kill momentum.
If it's basically the same game and not a new one designed for the power of a home console. is it really what people meant when they said they want a Pokemon on a home console ?
Playing a Pokemon on a console wasn't much of a problem ( well outside the DS and 3DS games) with super game boy etc.
They don't give a fuck about companies, only want clicks like most of journalism.

The third versions of Pokemon games always come some time after the initial launch, though. Difference this time is it's with better graphics and on a different system.
Has to be the official name. Has to be!

They always came at least a year after.Huh?

Why would you do this for a rumor of a game that might not be released for a year, or not at all?

Yeah, couldnt wait another year for a new Pokémon game.

High def assets alone are a game changer.

This is only the first, you'll get another Pokémon on it in 2018-2019.

There have been rumours swirling for a few days now. Why wait until the release day to finally publish an article?
They knew what they were doing. Pokémon Sun and Moon will be trending today and they want to piggyback off of that to get more clicks. I except more of Eurogamer they are usually one of the more rebuttable sites.
Holds up nicely in HD. Great!

Yeah, I pull myself together after realizing that it will not be released within a year. I can enjoy the game now, which is what I am going to do.
I highly doubt this will affect Sun/Moon sales, even in PAL regions.

...Guess ill eat my previous words from other Switch threads about them not counting this thing as a full fledged handheld.
Most pre-ordered game ( I think) this year and the most pre-ordered game in the franchise, I think it's okay.
Not to mention since it a 3rd version. It would be next year (like November at the earliest probably.)
I would be surprised if it actually makes 2017.

It could almost definitely make launch, but game publishing is in most cases nowhere near the "release it when it's finished," philosophy you think it has. Why would Nintendo cannibalize Sun and Moon sales by releasing a superior version 4 months afterwards all whilst cannibalizing sales of 3D Mario, the Mario RPG, Skyrim and whatever else is there at launch? It makes no business sense and is far from lazy.
We also don't know what exactly it will include though it seems to be the "3rd" version like Platinum, Crystal and Yellow. Those all released a year or 2 later so if you're fine with those you shoild be fine with this.

I get the feeling this might be one of Nintendo's big holiday titles next year, so I don't think it'd be a total waste to buy Sun or Moon (or both?) right now.
That would take more time though and imo it's better for Switch to have the game soon.
You never know, maybe there's also a Pokemon Eclipse coming in 2017-2018 as an enhaned version of Sun/Moon/Stars.
I'd prefer not to spend too much money on something if I don't have to. In the case of the Wii U ports, they're far enough apart to where I didn't care. In this case, I can stand to wait a year for Stars.

People talking about how "predictable" is this leak are talking without knowing the fact that Game Freak is known for taking its time to jump into a new generation and if that trend would continue probably the third version would be for the 3DS.
Less production costs and a safer install base is really tempting so changing this trend is a risky move for them. I wonder if Nintendo money hat'd this.
Also, first main Pokémon game on a home console after 20 years.
This isnt by any aspect a predictable move, guys.

Aha, I'm pretty negative on those two too
I suppose they're great for the folks who didn't own a Wii U, but as someone who has one and is pretty disappointed with it, it just feels like padding? Like, it'll look great for Nintendo's release schedule when they can say they have ~9 first-party titles coming out in the first twelve months... But if I've already played at least 4 of them? Then to me it's the Wii U launch all over again.

This isn't coming out at launch so I don't know why a lot of posts are of people canceling X wanting to return the game
It'll be pushed with Zelda as the big holiday games for next year
Pokemon X Zelda vs the world
Which means Zelda gets delayed to holiday 2017 👀😩

It's a code name. I technically did play on a Nintendo Dolphin in 2002, a Nintendo Revolution in 2006 and I didn't play Space travel* on Wii U about 12 months ago but they were not called that despite that being thier code names.
*-When the voice cast was doing auditions for Xenobalde X it was given a code name along those lines.
True, conservative guesses will place it at roughly 25-50 times as powerful. The article by Eurogamer also mentions that the Switch game will have "separate, higher-resolution assets". Hopefully this will be a visually striking pokémon game, that would be amazing!
My thoughts as well. I have too much to play right now and can definitely wait, even if it's this time next year.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
I'm pretty sure this won't do much to sales.
I haven't said that.

This is what I told my friend yesterday would happen, and that if it did, my purchase would be locked, because I didn't want to get a 3DS and buy a Switch next year as well.
Now my purchase is locked. This will be my first Nintendo console

I still don't if I'm getting the switch so I'm definately getting the 3DS version.
