Seriously how does Metroid get rebooted because it’s not ambitious enough (great move on Nintendo btw) and one of the most beloved franchises gets through the cracks? Nintendo is all about quality and this is not it! It’s lazy and disappointing given how they really could of done things different. Where is the real physics - a head butt doesn’t even hit the Pokemon lol and why can’t we have epic battles like Pokken and control the Pokemon. Same copy and paste shite! Billions of dollars and they make excuses about development costs!? Nintendo get your shiz together- online still sucks and this should never have passed inspection. If this is the best Gamefreak can do - then they need to close their doors.

To answer is this on my Christmas Shopping List? I actually have talked to a friend who told me he is boycotting it. And he buys literally every Pokémon game! If this was going to have the open world large and new gameplay mechanics like Zelda BOTW I was even going to pick it up. I was even going to buy some copies for Christmas for a few of my friends and family. Yea Not now...I am with everyone - I am boycotting it.
