There are over 1000 Pokemon at this point. There’s bound to be some level of similarity here and there. Gamefreak even designed Pokemon after other creatures, so it just seems somewhat silly to point a finger.

A clam shell Switch --without Joycon drift-- that plays my digital Switch library and features better graphical hardware is all I want. Doesn’t need to be a revolution, but it needs to play more games than the Switch currently can.

Maybe it had some glitches on release

I haven’t heard much about it as of late and won’t comment on its current state, but when it first came out it was a glitchy mess. Several reviewers mentioned how glitchy it was and docked it points. dunkey made a whole video showcasing glitches and odd design choices. It’s a step in the right direction, so they deserve credit, but that doesn’t change its shortcomings at launch.

Kind of seems silly to buy any game developed by Sonic Team these days. They are either half-baked ideas (Sonic with a sword? Sonic as a werewolf?) or glitchy messes with repetitive, cheap gameplay (Frontiers, Lost World). They seem to rarely learn from previous mistakes or grow as a development team, similar to Gamefreak. Both studios are sustained by name recognition.

This director doesn’t have many directing credits but seems that worked out well for The Super Mario Movie. His current catalog is averaging around 7 on IMDb, which is a far better indicator of quality than RT, so that’s promising.

I personally haven’t seen a FPS be unique or engaging since the last Bioshock… and before that was maybe the first Bioshock or FEAR lol

The MiLiTaRy Is CoOL vibe from COD, Battlefront and Halo never appealed to me, but Halo Combat Evolved on PC and Halo 3’s multiplayer was at least fun.

I’ve said this on smash forums before and had the toxic side of the fanbase lose their shit over it, but the next Smash Bros iteration should be a complete reset on the roster and that roster’s movesets. e.g. Samus Aran should be reworked to incorporate skills from Samus Returns, Fusion, the Prime series and Dread. Right now her moveset is stuck on her Super Metroid form. Link should be reworked to be more based on BotW/TotK. Mario should be reworked to incorporate Odyssey, Galaxy and Wonder.

I LOVE the Smash franchise and have devoted thousands of hours of my life to the series - but that doesn’t change many characters growing stale and being trapped in their pasts. Right now Smash celebrates gaming legacies, but it should be changed to celebrate more than just the distant legacies. The last 10 years of most characters are completely ignored by the current roster. It should celebrate those characters’ futures too.

Beating a dead horse at this point but if Nintendo ever truly cared about scalpers it would stop producing an environment for scalpers to flourish.

This is why comments are so useful. I was already on the fence about viewing a site named futurism and your comment made sure I will avoid it moving forward.
