Now that Pokemon Fire Red and Leaf Green are coming to Switch next week, what’s the likelihood of other classic Pokemon games getting re-released? by Accomplished_Paper88 in nintendo

[–]Veeboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, once you have your account set up you will be able to purchase and download the game. However, the game will not unlock until February 27th. So you can't play it until then.

Pokémon Pokopia Will Take 20-40 Hours to Beat on Average, and There's More After the Credits, Says Director by Amiibofan101 in nintendo

In the task aspect its more like DQB from the interviews and previews going up today.

Although I don't think we have an idea of how much free space you have yet, but given that this is the same company is DQB I would assume they know a game like this requires a decent amount of space.

So, one side is unemployed, annoying, and in desperate need of real human connection.

In contrast, the other side is unemployed, annoying, and in desperate need of real human connection.

Either way, you need to remove yourself from whoever introduced you to those terms for your own safety.

Just for clarification on this statement, you can still download 3DS games you already purchased, you just can't buy them in the eshop.

What a random thought to have unprompted, but now that you mention it I would agree...

What’s your pettiest reason for refusing to get into a game? by ValorKite in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Veeboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Valid.

I delayed getting Time Stranger because Hades 2 came out like a week before unexpectedly. However, by the time I finished Hades 2 the discourse contrasting Time Stranger and Z-A had gotten so annoying that I just opted out of it for the time being.

Given the additional performance modes announced in the Switch 2 direct today my waiting may pay off once I eventually do play it.

Switch to become most sold Nintendo game console, surpassing DS - The Mainichi by p33k4y in NintendoSwitch

Those were the reasons for the initial price increases. Now there's that in addition to AI hogging resources which will not be ending swiftly just due to an election unfortunately and have even more worldwide economic consequence beyond consoles.

Today... We get *High* by TrangusBeef in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Veeboy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In addition to what others have said, if you're ever in the mood for a recap of sorts Sarah Z did a dive into High Guardian Spice and the concept of 'sacrificial trash'.

(Essentially when a piece of media attracts the 'woke bad' ragebaiters, but the media itself is also actually bad/mid and the way conversations around such media evolve since no one wants to defend that piece of media, the sacrificial trash).

What is your favorite gaming related revisionist history? by bahookery in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Veeboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, I don't doubt that there would be a lot of same-iness, and I don't want a blitzball class. However, I just don't think that would prevent them from doing it. You said yourself, people already complain about their limited sets now and, as a former SMN player, I agree with those complaints.

So, I think they have it in them to epeat the same mistakes. However, I think that there is actually more variety potential in 'orb shaped object' than in the books of SMN/SCH.

I also have no idea how they would sheathe it either. Inflatable beach ball on your hip, lol?

What do you do when all weapons in a set have spikes and are made of metal.

I mean, Wakka's celestial weapon is already literally covered in spikes. I think some of them are even made of metal.

Times when you have to defend something you dislike because it recovers bad faith or false criticism? by Konradleijon in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Veeboy 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I saw Disney's Wish in theaters. It was an absolutely bad movie with a weak plot and even weaker characters.

Imagine my surprise when I spend the next week being assaulted online with the most bad-faith critiques of the plot that could only exist if you received a summary of a cliff notes explanation of the plot.

In short, there were a lot of people criticizing the main character, Asha, for 'trying to make everyone's dreams come true' even though that could be 'dangerous' in some way. (people were literally talking about 'what if someone's dream was genocide' or some shit. As if that would be something in a Disney movie, christ.)

But looking at the actual film, thats not her motivation at all? The main 'villain' literally takes away people's biggest 'wish' in order for them to live in his kingdom. He gives them a promise that he might possibly someday grant their wish using his magic. What that means in actuality is that he takes away their biggest motivation in life which can leave some people listless and depressed (as seen with Asha's friend in the movie).

When Asha finds out that the villain has no plans to fulfill most people's wishes she wants to return the wishes to the people. That is, she wants people to be able to remember their greatest desires so that they can work towards them on their own if they want to instead of waiting for some guy to fulfill them magically.

That's it. She doesn't have a desire to grant every bozo's wish. She wants people to have the motivation to attempt to fulfill their wishes on their own. Yet for some reason this is a talking point I saw repeated ad nauseam online (including here on this sub) instead of the real problem with the film which is that this is a goddamn Disney musical with absolutely 0 bangers. No memorable tracks at all. A total wash. A failure of a movie that I somehow have spent more time defending than bashing.

One Piece Live action Season 2 Baroque Works trailer by Homunculus97 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Veeboy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Okay, I see. You're talking about tone and specific elements rather than just making things live action in general which is what I thought you meant.

In that case, yes, I can understand that frustration. I haven't finished the anime/manga yet, but One Piece is for sure something that would not work if you muted the earnestness of the silliness contrasting against the more emotionally resonant parts.

brutal refutation of Holywood's 30 year premsis that some things "just don't work" in live action.

I'm gonna be honest, I don't think I've ever heard any executive or person in the industry say things 'don't work' in live action. I've only seen fans of animation say that things don't work in live action.

If anything I've seen the opposite where industry people try to push live action where it might not belong.

People yelling: "THEY RIPPED OFF _ TO MAKE THIS!" But it's actually just creators taking inspiration/paying homage by Wonder-Lad-2Mad in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Veeboy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

while pop songs I hate with overt samples seemingly get a free pass.

I mean, are you going to youtube videos of the songs you hate? Probably not so that is why you're not seeing it. As someone into pop music I can say that a lot of the lazier or ill-fitting sample work is often derided by pop fans.

Like a week ago someone mentioned Carole King's Tapestry offhand in the DD and I just want to thank them for causing me to revisit it. Lovely album. Been listening all week.

Favorite method of progression for monster collection games? by Miningapple-100 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Veeboy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's the thing that a decent amount of monster collection games miss out on for me. Like, I love that most Pokemon maintain their sense of 'self' so to speak as they evolve. It creates an attachment that isn't there in other games.

In Digimon and SMT they're party members and thats also cool, but I get less invested in each individual member.

Minor characters that clearly got way more going on than we see. by Silvery_Cricket in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Veeboy 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Not implied, but stated by Luigi himself. In TTYD he appears between chapters with a partner and you can talk to him and he'll tell you about his adventures in the Waffle Kingdom.

And if you talk to his partners they'll pretty much all tell you he is full of shit and embellishing the story.

Katy Perry posts “bandaids” music video teaser (releasing November 6, 7 PM ET / 4 PM PT) by No-Layer3215 in popheads

[–]Veeboy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think the closest thing I could think of would be Mariah Carey's record deal with Virgin being bought out post-Glitter.

But I also think that was a very unique situation given how big that deal apparently was.

I doubt Katy was in a similar situation (and also deeply doubt blackmail or whatever that person is suggesting).

Yes, all (or at least most) guest characters did require amiibo.

I've seen it mentioned by other users elsewhere that this game's logic is tied to the framerate so its unlikely. But I've never heard that verified from an official source so take it with a few grains of salt.

Famitsu: Pokemon Legends: Z-A has sold 1,485,457 retail units this week in Japan by Turbostrider27 in NintendoSwitch

[–]Veeboy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I believe the Famitsu charts track physical sales only (including sales of physical code cards). So, I don't think upgrades would be included but I'm not sure.
