Second worst, behind not being able to climb in the rain  Bit confused by your combat comment. There is dodging in this game. And perfect dodge enables flurry rush. Still a subpar combat system but dodging is there. | ||

Not sure I can explain it better than that It’s just not really implemented in a fun way in my opinion | ||

Many are bitching, pissing, whining and moaning about the 'high' price of the game. A game in that previous AKI series came out in 1998 , WCW Revenge. The game was $70 USD. It took me 3+ weeks of saving money to buy a used copy. The price of the game is reasonable. People just like to hear themselves complain. | ||

People just like to hear themselves complain. Absolutely. Back in the late 90s, we had purchased a total of 81 N64 games, each at $50-65 a pop. I didn't even blink when I learned that new games are going to cost $70 now; that's way cheaper (with inflation) than they used to be. | ||

Mattel Intellivision games were $40 in 1980. Interestingly, Activision paid $0 to all console and hardware platforms. That didn't stop them from keeping their prices sky high in 1980. They knew their games were head and shoulders better than their competitors. | ||

The weakest parts imo were the starting island and using the sages as allies. The temples and some of the combat were a little underwhelming too, although more fun for me than the temples and combat from BotW. I thought the exploration, abilities, shrines, story, graphics, side quests, music, sky islands, depths, and final battle were excellent. | ||

Nintendo will release its next-gen console during the second half of 2024, according to a new report. Sources told VGC development kits for the unannounced new console are now with partner studios, with a second half of 2024 release window set to give Nintendo enough time to ensure plenty of stock for launch. Apparently this new next-gen console can be used in portable mode, like the Nintendo Switch, and has an LCD screen as opposed to an OLED screen in order to keep costs down. It also comes with a cartridge slot for physical games, VGC said. However, the crucial question of backwards compatibility with Nintendo Switch games remains unclear. IGN has asked Nintendo for comment. In May, Nintendo said it's the long-rumoured Switch successor wouldn't release until April 2024 at the earliest. Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa explained during an investors presentation that the company isn't considering new hardware in the 2023/24 financial year, which ends March 31, 2024. This comes despite a decline in Switch sales. The console sold close to 18 million units in the last financial year, down from 23 million sold the year before and 28 million the year before that. Nintendo isn't looking to rush a new console out to tackle this decline though, as it has forecast another drop for the coming year. "Sustaining the Switch's sales momentum will be difficult in its seventh year," said Furukawa during the presentation. "Our goal of selling 15 million units this fiscal year is a bit of a stretch, but we will do our best to bolster demand going into the holiday season so that we can achieve the goal." Rumours surrounding a new console have been circulating for years. The new console was said to offer boosted graphics akin to the PlayStation 4 and its Pro model, but there is no official information regarding the next piece of Nintendo hardware yet. Source | ||

I think the biggest killer will be the long term wear and tear on the battery. | ||

It'd be a very smart way to give new gamers access to the very beginning of the highest-grossing media franchise without needing to develop completely new content. | ||

The graphics have some charm and the 8bit music is actually banging, but the AI is so incredibly stupid. Elite four's Agatha was the most painful. All of her pokes using confuse ray on an already confused pokemon, dream eater on an awake pokemon, or hypnosis on an asleep pokemon. It was pretty dire. Pretty sure the game just selects moves completely at random. I think for us who have already played the games, it's some nice nostalgia. But 'new gamers' are not gonna appreciate it. | ||

That's a fair point, although I don't think many people expect the Pokemon games to be particularly difficult anyway. | ||
