Yeah. Wii U levels of sales, then off a cliff, gaiz. Just like I was telling you.

Just like with the original Switch sales were always going to bomb at some point...... According to the soothesayess on here,

 

[FoxMcChief]

That might sell a few units.

 

[FoxMcChief]

Ppl that buy into pokemon games after Scarlet/Garbage should be studied .

Yeah. Do they all have giant dicks and big o titties?

 

[Geometric-Crusher]

What's the point for many to upgrade if all games keep coming to old system and still somehow playable .system.

That's a question I ask myself every time I look at my PS5 and Series X.

They already said the MK bundle will retire this fall. Probably going to keep switching up the bundles. Bad pun intended.

News to me even if it's something I never wanted in the first place. Not that I had much of a choice considering how every website was destroyed when trying to order one of them. Lucky enough to spam refresh and get the non bundle version.

Not even a special colored console

Nintendo believes that mass production creates demand for an expensive console, they will have a difficult holiday season.
I will never forget the Wii U, Mario 2D at launch, then Luig 2D, then 3ds Mario during the holiday season, then DK 2D... this company is greedy.

Why would Nintendo release a racist edition of their console?

I want to reply but I have no clue how to continue on this

 

[Dodo123]

It's too soon for that kind of stuff especially since they can barely keep the regular edition in stock.

Expect them in the future.

It's too early for limited edition Switch 2 consoles. We'll probably see some next year.

Yeah I know, but I was hoping for it, I guess haha
I also think that Splatoon 2 had a special console edition and it was also just 4-5 months after Switch's release.
Thanks

Waste of research funding. There's no cure for stupid.

 

[GigaBowser]

the sells are coming the sells are coming

 

[LordCBH]

If you're in the US, target has had the mario kart bundle in stock online for 3-4 days now, just checked it now and it's still in stock.

Wanted to reply and say I grabbed one. I had completely forgotten about target lol. You rock!

 

[Mozza]

Totally agree.

I think Pokemon is aimed at it's core audience that watch the cartoons. The problem is the older core fans who were happy with the more basic presentation when they were younger. But now want more mature monster hunter style visuals. This will never happen because the mass majprity still want the more basic cartoon look. Now of course there are the pefrormance issues which again tend to be the domain of the core hobby gamers as the masses simply do not care. Although the Switch 2's extra korsepower should make this an issue of the past.... As with the recent Scarlet and Violet update.

Yeah, I'm somewhat joking around. If you enjoy the games, play them. To be fair these 'Legends' spin-offs seem to be pretty decent relative to the mainline titles, I've mostly heard good things about Arceus.

That said I personally think they can keep the cartoon aesthetic, it's just that everything looks so simplistic and runs so poorly that's my issue. Even on the Switch we have a multitude of open-world games that look and run miles better than any of the mainline Pokémon titles..

 

[Baemono]

Well the digital game isn't that surprising (though it still hurts), but they could make the console look different... What happened with all these cool designs from the previous gen? Same for joy-cons... Where are other options?

Yeah I really don't like the fact that all the consoles are currently "stuck" with one set of colours, even having the sides coloured in such way that a new pair of joycons with different colours wouldn't suit well

too early for that is all.

I thought as much. Never been interested in the Pokemon games myself. But you can't argue with the box office. 98 million or so copies of the Pokemon games sold on the Nintendo Switch. The franchise is a big deal to Nintendo.
