Sonic Boom: Fire and Ice is the third game to be released in the Sonic Boom series. While Fire and Ice isn’t reminiscent of the original Sonic games, it does encourage players to explore as well as play through stages in the quickest time possible. Fire and Ice has also done its best fix some of the complaints players had with the previous 3DS title, while also trying to make it as enjoyable as possible.
That's one less Pokemon you have to catch.
This is interesting and all, but I can't imagine why these games were ported over when the 3DS is just as capable of playing Heart Gold and Soul Silver.
"Pokemon Gold and Silver originally released in 1999 for the Gameboy Color and were the first games in the franchise to introduce the second generation of Pokemon"
Really? The second generation of Pokémon introduced the second generation of Pokémon? Who knew?
Also it was released for gameboy, not gameboy color. That was Crystal. Why am I surprised that a video game "journalist" was incorrect?
This image basically confirms that in Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon we will be seeing an alternate story. While it has been stated by Nintendo multiple times that this was the case, they were never really clear on it.
Why in fucks name did the designs for the mc make it through the planing stages of development? They are by far the worse thing pokemon have produced.
but...you customize your own characters now? l dont like that boys neck. holy shit it's about as strong as a twig
oh for sure. The franchise just shits on the male version more and more per new entry, lol
It's so weird being that the player base is 70/30 male you know. You would think that they would give the males a better choice selection.
Nintendo has a brand new Direct coming this week, and it's a whopper of a presentation, clocking in at 45 minutes. We break down what to expect from it.
All I want is information about the SMT game announced. If its another SMTxFE they can go shove it.
I'd expect updates on Odyssey, Fire Emblem Warriors, and maybe something on Pokken. We'll see a release date for Xenoblade, if it is really coming out this year (they're still saying so but I'll be skeptical until it's in my hands). They'll highlight some of the big third party games coming this holiday, such as Skyrim, Rocket League, Sonic Forces, NBA, and FIFA. We may get a Skyrim or Rocket League amiibo. Smaller titles such as Rime, Yooka Laylee, Hallow Knight and Stardew Valley may get release dates or updates.
As for new announcements I expect at least one Wii U port. Likely either something from Platinum Games or the long-rumored Smash 4 Deluxe. I'd be shocked to see a major new game announced for Switch (unless Pikmin 4 is finally formally "announced") but we may see a smaller title or two. If there is a bigger title announced I imagine it will be from a partnership with a Japanese developer and it will be shown off further at Tokyo Game Show.
The 3DS part will include Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. It's a wildcard, but we may get a new 2D Zelda announced. I think there will be another one before they finally phase the 3DS out but I don't necessarily think it will be announced until next year. Outside of that I don't imagine there will be any big 3DS games unless they announce Mercury Steam is working on a followup to Samus Returns or something like that.
Other than that they will show off updates for both Splatoon and Arms, as well as a few upcoming system features and more info on the second batch of Zelda DLC . . . Maybe even info on Mario + Rabbids DLC. The system features and the updates for current games will be why the direct is so long.
EDIT: Maybe more info on SMT or Project Octopath Traveler as well.
I do think Animal Crossing is coming next year, and if not then the year afterwards, but I don't think they'll announce it this year. They've already got Super Mario Odyssey and Breath of the Wild for this year and those are some heavy hitters. I think the next two years we'll see a 2D Mario or Mario Maker 2, Animal Crossing, Mario Party, and of course Pokemon . . . All of which are heavy hitters. By that point it will have been enough time that a new Mario Kart and Smash Bros. will be on the horizon as well. That way they will have their big sellers spread out enough to keep up the console's sales.
