mmmark Posted October 11, 2024 Share Posted October 11, 2024 Can’t wait to see how people justify calling sales of a clock a massive failure and what comparisons they might make 😅 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted October 12, 2024 Share Posted October 12, 2024 Going to put this here because not convinced enough to start a thread. But apparently GameFreak has had a “Giga Leak” which reveals code names for gen 10 Pokemon games - Pokemon Gaia N & K, a multiplayer focused Pokemon game called Synapse and the Switch 2 code name “Ounce” There’s more info on this Twitter page and list of the download files, but this is the gist of it Could be real. But this is all coming from one Twitter account so far. Not really concrete enough to get excited about yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandsomeDead Posted October 13, 2024 Author Share Posted October 13, 2024 I can't remember where I heard, it may have been Grubb, but they say The Pokémon Company insist Nintendo make budget, child friendly versions of consoles so it makes sense their games will be cross gen until a Switch 2 lite exists (or close to existing), in that it tracks with how they've usually operated. They'll centre the player base. It means a Switch 2 version will maybe brute force and technical issues they still have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted October 13, 2024 Share Posted October 13, 2024 If the Pokemon leak is real this is pretty much worst case scenario There’s been tonnes of interesting stuff released including Pokemon that ended up on the cutting room floor, some super wild internal lore stuff about Pokemon and humans having babies together, and seemingly prototype builds of old games I’m all for that stuff getting out there. I think that’s interesting and doesn’t really hurt the game/series/companies. But I don’t want to see their future games leaked and ruined. That’s just ruining the fun for everybody Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maf Posted October 13, 2024 Share Posted October 13, 2024 This is apparently all internal stories or something they have come up with and is part of what has gone from “giga leak” to “tera leak” Video game, movie and TV leaks now. Quote SUMMARY OF EVERY LEAK RELATED TO FUTURE POKÉMON PROJECTS [ Video games ] Pokémon Legends: Z-A - Originally planned to release in 2024 - Will feature Mega Zygarde, Mega Zeraora - In development for current Switch Pokémon Gaia (codename) - Gen 10 - Two versions: K and N (Japanese names) - The main theme will be island exploring in an archipelago - In development for Switch 2, but a version for Switch 1 is also being tested Pokémon Synapse (codename) - New multiplayer Pokémon game - Collaboration between ILCA and Game Freak - Has been described as Splatoon-like - NOT an MMO [ TV & Film ] Project Bauer - Movie 24 - In development hell since 2021, current status unclear - Will be a fresh start for the movie universe, with a new protagonist - Set in Kanto, only the original 151 Pokémon will appear - Main Mythical of the movie will be Mew - Directed by Kobun Shizuno Project Reload - New original TV anime - 12 episodes of 21 minutes - Animated by Studio Colorido - In development since at least 2022, current status unclear The Great Detective Pikachu - Sequel to the Detective Pikachu movie - In development since 2021 - Directed by Jordan Vogt-Roberts - Current status unclear, unknown if cancelled Project Discovery - Netflix live-action - 8 episodes for the first season, up to 5 seasons are being considered - No more details available For the record I think it’s worth noting there has definitely been a huge Pokemon leak. But people also might be taking this opportunity to put out misinformation for lols and attention Apparently a Game Freak employee got hit by a phishing scam and this is how all this stuff is getting out There’s FUCK TONNES of it. Everything form concept work, to meeting notes, emails, game builds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted October 24, 2024 Share Posted October 24, 2024 Now in widescreen! I was going to say Banjo Kazooie to Banjo Tooie might be one of the greatest fall offs in all of gaming. But actually I wonder if there was just such a change in trends and interest between 1 and 2. Like that first game was great - for its time. And maybe that time changed before the sequel The music still holds up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmmark Posted October 25, 2024 Share Posted October 25, 2024 What is this statement? Both were amazing, scored 90+ and there was only 2yrs between them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCH Posted October 25, 2024 Share Posted October 25, 2024 I'm curious to play it as I missed the sequel completely, back in the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted October 29, 2024 Share Posted October 29, 2024 THEY APOLOGISED FOR BANJO-TOOIE SHADOWMAN AND TUROK 2!!! There’s much better version of these available for money but as part of the subscription this shit is fire. In a month or so they’ve added 2 F-Zero games, Banjo 2 and now these gems. This amazing.

Maryokutai Posted October 29, 2024 Share Posted October 29, 2024 This made me look up who's actually holding the rights for some of these Acclaim games. Turns out Turok is at Dreamworks, which is a bit weird. Couldn't find anything for Shadow Man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted November 6, 2024 Share Posted November 6, 2024 Nintendo confirms Switch 2 will be backwards compatible. However not confirmed that’s cartridges, might just be digital compatibility https://www.eurogamer.net/nintendo-confirms-backwards-compatibility-for-switch-2 This falls in line with everything they’ve been doing about getting all Nintendo games on one platform either through Switch Online or remasters/remakes. Glad they’re continuing with this Just hope it includes cartridges as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandsomeDead Posted November 6, 2024 Author Share Posted November 6, 2024 It would be slimy if physical wasn't BC too. I'd assume they'd just do what they did with the 3DS and make the new carts a slightly different shape so both fit in a Switch 2 but not in a Switch.

Maf Posted November 6, 2024 Share Posted November 6, 2024 Nintendo is tricky because they have bad record on continuity but with stand out examples like 3DS, Wii and Wii U. In the post before I was going to say I bet they don’t support Switch 1 cartridges - but then backed out because of these examples I’m not sure. It’s a coin toss for me It sounds like they’re supporting digital purchases, though. I think that’s a first for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maryokutai Posted November 6, 2024 Share Posted November 6, 2024 It's a very imprecise, general statement. If you want to be super cynical it could technically also mean that no purchases move forward, but they will re-sell Switch 1 games on an entirely new storefront and those will run on Switch 2. But that seems unlikely. I think it means both cartridges and downloads will transfer over (well, the latter will, the other you just pop in) and they'll work. What I don't expect is any kind of embellishments, it'll probably be like on DS/3DS/Wii where the system simply boots as a 1:1 copy of the original SKU.

Maf Posted November 6, 2024 Share Posted November 6, 2024 That’s true. My thoughts were if Switch Online is carrying over, then so are profiles, then so are games. But they don’t state that so possibly not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pikman Posted November 6, 2024 Share Posted November 6, 2024 I wish it was specific. Will my cartridges still work? I really think they will but he definitely didn't say it with clarity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
