It's a nice thought but pokemon gray won't have all those upgrades. It'll be exactly what it sounds like, a combination of black and white. All legendaries and exclusive pokemon plus one extra legendary? That's about it. The third edition in a series of pokemon games (emerald, platinum) never really adds new features tbh.

TheEatingVodka4599d ago

LOL exactly..
That's what I replied in his site

DoomTater4599d ago

Emerald and Platinum added the Battle Frontier and that added tons of extra gameplay right there.

Darth Stewie4599d ago

They will probably announce a 3DS Lite or something that has to do with Skyward Sword.
I still wish they would announce Pokemon Snap 2.

TheEatingVodka4599d ago (Edited 4599d ago )

You really think they'd announce a 3DS Lite 6 months after the original one? LOOOL
Instead of just saying stuff go to wikipedia and see how long it took Nintenndo to come up with a lite version of the original DS..

@Below,
LOLOOL not a credible source for what? I just wanted you to see the release date of the DS Lite opposed to the release date of the original one..

Darth Stewie4599d ago

Yup they could announce a 3DS Lite 6 months later because if somebody said Nintendo would drop the price by $80 and reveal a second analog stick less than 6 months after it launched you would have said BS. BTW Wikipedia is not a credible source.

Darth Stewie4599d ago

The DS did not struggle at its launch price and had a better line up compared to the 3DS thats the difference.

Baka-akaB4599d ago

except that now the 3ds is back and selling better and better .

it would be a suicide to annonce a new model so early .

Khordchange4599d ago

Except the Ds did have a price in its first year, about 40 dollars. Look it up

MasterCornholio4599d ago

Lol it will take a lot more than glassless 3D and Pokemon to take down the vita. Just deal with it Sony did a fantastic job with the vita and it will be a hit.

Nintendo has nothing to prove, they are the ones to beat.....not the other way around. Nintendo (and it's handhelds) made all my top 10 handheld games of all time. Can't wait to see this generation add more.

--Onilink--4599d ago

funny how you seem to know how and unreleased handheld will do. You probably dont remember (or just choose to) but this scenario is EXACTLY THE SAME as the DS vs PSP. One more powerful, website editors drooling for it and when they came out PSP dissapointed the 1st years and the DS took off after a slow start.

Im not saying the future will be the same, because unlike you, i dont pretend to know how things will happen

MasterCornholio4598d ago

The PSP sold 70 million units. That's a terrible example of a failed handheld. You should have used the Virtua Boy, Gamegear, Neo Geo Pocket or NGage as failures.

@MasterCornholio

When did i say in my post that the PSP is a failure???

i just said that when the PSP came out it dissapointed despite looking much better than the DS. And in the end the DS did much better than the PSP, not that the PSP didnt pick up later in its life, because its doing pretty well right now.

My point is simply that you are assuming that because the Vita is technically superior to the 3DS, that the 3DS doesnt stand a chance, and that was exactly the same type of thinking some people had when the previous gen came out, and the DS turned out to be the better console in terms of sales

CDbiggen4599d ago

Why was this this approved after the conference had happened?

yabhero4598d ago

The naming is bad, its really... " what pokemon 3ds could be like"

GraveLord4599d ago

They didn't announce anything.(Yes, it happened already) Just reminding people of how great the 3DS and telling them that Mario Kart is finally coming out. Not really worth a conference IMO.

Great news it shows that Nintendo intends to continue developing ports of AAA games to its next gen platform

H94d ago

Buying studios from embracer now is a great deal, they must be dirt cheap at this point, Nintendo is a opportunist, they wait until someone fall so they get their best deal

OtterX4d ago

That is some serious brain gymnastics you have going on there. 🤔

H94d ago

I didn't do any gymnastics I can assure you, honestly I don't know why you think that, not hating I seriously don't see why you think that

ZeekQuattro3d ago

Yeah I don't know where that came from. It's rare for Nintendo to flat out aquire studios. Guess they were trying to be edgy but why flex on this studio. 🤣

Kneetos3d ago

At least they are safer from layoffs with Nintendo then any other company

banger884d ago

I hope someone buys Piranha Bytes, their future isn't looking good right now. I love their RPGs, they're janky as f***, but they have heart and soul.

Relientk774d ago

Nintendo saw the Mortal Kombat 1 Switch port and were like, "Yeah, these guys are worth acquiring."

You can't make this crap up lol

Profchaos4d ago

Mortal Kombat 1 was never going to port well I'm sure they told wb it wasn't going to work but wb wants that sweet sweet 140 million install base

In the end wb approved the project cleared the milestones and allowed the product to release

SonOfOsiris4d ago

Yeah this guys ported MK11 which is great, Hogwarts Legacy which is great, and MK1 is now ok, play it every day

How Many More Victims, Like Garry's Mod, Will Nintendo's Hurtful Crusade Create?

Hanzala from eXputer: "As Nintendo takes out 20 years' worth of stuff from Garry's Mod, I watch in shock, thinking why it continues to hurt and discourage its fans."

RiseNShine21d ago (Edited 21d ago )

The irony that some of the most disgusting business practices come from companies like Disney or Nintendo, i can't even begin to understand what terrible damage was Garrys Mod making to Nintendo bottom line, imho they're getting pretty nervous about where they're heading in the future, handhelds are no longer something exclusive to Nintendo, from Steam Deck to many others, now you can play the latest games and pay a fraction of the price on Steam sales, so it's up to their exclusives, which just on their own would make hard to justify purchasing a closed overpriced hardware with outrageous price policies (Super Mario Odyssey is still 60 euro 6 years later!), and as a home console they're always underperforming compared to Sony or Xbox.

gold_drake21d ago (Edited 21d ago )

i cam guarantee you, that their exclusives alone is what drives switch sales. they sell in the 10s of millions of copies.

nintendo created their franchises to be sort of nostalgia driven, exclusive only on nintendo.

people will always buy the pkmn games as they always bring in new younger fans amd is family friendly

mario kart, the same thing, mario games in general.

zelda games are system sellers. animal crossing for the casual gamers.

nintendo doesnt need third vame devs essentially. they made sure with the switch and the limitations that they looked more to pc ps and xbox.

its sad, but nintendo is more than fine with what they're doing. they positioned themselves to appeal to the more casual gamers.

but to your point, im not sure why they're doing this rly.

Inverno20d ago

Look at how they handled Nintendo games being streamed or uploaded on YouTube in the past. They killed Yuzu and Citra even when they had nothing to do with ToTK being leaked, not to mention it was basically unplayable on emulation the week it was leaked. Smash Bros tournament, that was fairly recent. They shut down their online services without any care for purchases made. I bought a switch after skipping their last 2 consoles and handhelds but I don't plan on buying anything Nintendo in the future. They take things to the extremes, they legitimately hate their fans. They're honestly right up there with the likes of Acti, EA, and Ubi, only difference is that they disguise themselves as being family friendly all the while being shady.
