Stayed up until 2AM waiting for it to start!

Hope we get at least one surprise announcement like Snap. Or maybe another Mystery Dungeon port.

Yep, Gen 4 remakes.

And I love the style!

Names are okay, might grow on me later.

Seems like a wild area style game as well as a prequel to Sinnoh?

Not sure how the gameplay looks, but the concept is cool.

The pattern makes sense. Every even generation we get a remake since the pattern decided to divide itself. Though this time Galar sort of got an extra entry via DLC.

Re: remakes: battle style looks nice, overworld style will take a bit to get used too.

Honestly I think "Glistening Pearl" would've been a better name, but eh

But oh boy am I feeling that nostalgia!

New Pokemon Snap info.

Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. Seems to be one-to-one remakes done by the people behind Pokemon Home in a chibi style in the overworld. Late 2021 release.

Pokemon Legends Archeus. Open World game set in rural Sinnoh to create the region's first Pokedex. Releases early 2022.

If the Nintendo Direct and Pokemon showcase dates were switched, people would have sworn in blood that the next Smash fighter would have been a Sinnoh Pokemon instead of Pyra/Mythra.

Despite the much shorter publically known development time, the Smash fanbase had some unbelievably impatient fans while waiting for Ultimate. Apparently having it come out the same year as announced was legit unacceptable to some. Then there was the reaction to the earthquake pushing the Direct (although that also included people from the general Nintendo fanbase) and that whole embarrassing mess with the Grinch hoax.

Not to mention how character gatekeeping has gotten so much worse this cycle with speculation where some people are more invested in hoping characters are rejected just to enjoy people's disappointment. Smash has had image issues for years, maybe even during Melee, but it feels far more petty and bitter this time.

Agreed 100%. It sucks when you are a fan of more niche franchises because you'll have people saying "fat chance" despite none of the currently popular characters getting in either. It took us years to get Ridley, K. Rool, and Banjo. The fanbase just needs to be accepting of all characters. Does not mean that you have to like them, but understand that other people do like this character. Yes, this even goes for Byleth.

It probably doesn't help that certain people from the toxic side has embraced that image, mostly because they stick better that way with their over-specified views on the series and how it "should" be played. I stopped watching and following videos from a certain player from Sweden for this reason.

This reminds me, once all 11 character packs are released, it is likely that we won't hear anything from Smash anytime soon, both because the latest game will be very difficult to be outdone, and because fans will probably need an extended period of time moving on from character speculation.

In the meantime, it will then be the perfect time for Mario Kart 9 to be announced.

I'd like to not hear from Smash for a long while. I don't think I could take another speculation cycle. There is also no real "right" way to play Smash. This is kinda why I dislike competitive play. It's the toxicity that comes with it and the refusal to play any way other than the legit most boring way ever.

RE: Pokemon:

While I didn't watch, it's nice to have Gen 4 remakes.

2014. The Hoenn remakes came out in twenty-fucking-fourteen. From November of that year, to November of this year.

FR/LG released 2004, HG/SS 2009, ORAS 2014. But now we're up to seven years between.

Guess I'll check back in '28 to see how things are going with whatever console we're on then.

It's the latest pattern of American generations getting the "sequel" game and the European generations getting the "past game remake" game, with that weird Let's Go game shoved in the middle.

Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon aren't sequels, they're just a Platinum-esque alternate story that happens to be split into a pair.

FRLG were GBA games, HGSS DS games, ORAS 3DS games and SDBP Switch games.

The odd ones out are Let's Go. And I wouldnt rule out Let's Go Johto in the future.

I'm looking forward to these games, even if BDSP's character artstyle isn't to my taste. I'm indifferent on that.

Just as a heads up, the Wii U received a firmware update for stability.

Ah yes, "stability". That's totally not a code-word for anything, and they totally haven't used it a million times before.

It's not homebrew this time they're fixing, but instead making sure websites visited on the browser are secure.

Maybe a Direct next week based on previous trends? I wasn't entirely expecting one until E3 but I wouldn't mind.

[up][up]Definitely looking forward to seeing what new indie titles I can download.

Still waiting for Card Shark from a previous Indie World to drop a release date.
