[Megathread] Nintendo Switch

[chrewm]

Any guess to when Nintendo releases a new full-verison Mario Kart? I've been waiting on buying a switch for a couple years thinking there must be a new version coming soon.

You will get Mario Kart 9 on the next Nintendo system. It won't be a switch game. There has never been multiple MK games released in same gen and that sure as hell ain't changing with how MK8D keeps selling.

You'll get that on the Switch 2, or whatever they decide to call it.

Which in turn is probably some 2 to 3 years from now given that the Switch is 4 and a half years old, and that they're launching a new hardware revision this month.

I get the feeling its probably gonna be waluigi

[Shakzor]

inb4 dual character Sakurai + Iwata, that'd be wild and certainly not expected

Isaac from golden sun which would give me hope for a remake

Chris Pratt in a Mario Hat. He’s so cool!

Half of these lists are one off. Games remove features all the time, it is hardly a trait unique to pokemon.

Game Corner removal is because of PEGI ratings, you really can't count that against Gamefreak. Especially now with it being a PEGI 18 rating.

Which is absolutely stupid because gambling in a video game using currency from said video game is massively different from spending real money to gamble with shit like loot boxes in Fortnite and card packs in EA Sports games.

Depends on the game and the rewards in game. Gambling is addictive.

Pokemon wasn't huge, because they allowed a bypass to the gambling to the rewards (being you can just buy coins with in game currency that in a lot of games you had infinite sources for money.)

I agree it is an overreaction for it to be PEGI 18 (if anything that should be restrictive to real world money gambling in games.)
But, gambling really doesn't belong in a game rated for Children (PEGI 3 and 7). I don't see why PEGI 12 would not fit a rating for gambling.

Gambling is addictive, that's why real world money gambling exposure to children is so dangerous.

Smash twitter is telling us to let our imaginations run wild ahead of the final reveal. Fine. Kratos would be kinda cool.

Doomguy.


What? He's on Switch! He can finally team up with Isabelle for maximum meme potential.

It's all the fun of gambling without any real world consequences. Same as a kid using their moms CC to buy loot boxes.

Arguments like this prove people like you never cared about kids being exposed to gambling, you just jumped on the hate train to be mad at companies trying to monetize it way further.

Shit like Dragon Quest and Pokemon casinos should absolutely not be a thing anymore in games targeting kids with everything we know about gambling simulation dopamine rushes. In games targeting adults, that's a different story but not ones targeting kids. Thats some 90s stuff you got to let go, otherwise you're hypocrite for only thinking its bad when its EA.

It would have been fine if it wasn't for mtx. Kids don't have a real concept of money so they go to a cash shop and keep pressing the buy button and getting "free" stuff not knowing their parents credit card is on that account, which tbh I'm sure most companies like, then yeah it's a problem that needs to be curtailed. I am very in favor of more responsibilities for parents, but i can't just blame them when predatory companies do this on purpose. At the end of the day, i'd rather protect kids more than ea

And kids not having a real concept of money is why them getting a dopamine rush in fake gambling in games like Pokemon is literally the same thing. The only difference is in one scenario the parent has less in their bank account but to the kid its the same shit. If it's about the kids then it shouldn't be in games targeting kids. Otherwise you're just making it about the parent's bank account and not the kid at all lol.

Anyways I'd be all for some M Rated, Pegi 18 Pokemon targeting adults with story arcs like Pikachu being depressed and turning to drugs, or forcing steroid injections into your pokemon to fight them to the death. Sounds like a better fit for gambling then the original games.

Sounds mega cringe but hey, its working for final fantasy origins right now

I mean damn near everything you do in Pokemon is already a crime in the real world in the first place so a M rated take on 10 years old forcing animals to fight each other to near death and imprisoning them in bespoke cells in the meantime isn't that far fetched.

Well considering games like Dragon Quest are rated T, and not E, I'd assume that teenagers, unlike children, would be able to comprehend gambling and it's consequences a lot better so that's a pretty massive false equivalency. Also, maybe stop making excuses for shitty parents not parenting their fucking kids? I loved the gambling casinos in Pokemon and Dragon Quest and it didn't make me a gambling addict, nor did it make me bad at managing money because unlike apparently a lot of kids these days, my parents taught me the risks of gambling as well as how to manage money properly. Also the blame is solely on any parent who let's their child have unfettered access to credit cards and funds to buy lootboxes and other forms of gambling. And I am very much against real money gambling of any sort in any game that isn't rated for people of legal age to gamble. Any video game with casinos using in game currency should not be at all restricted, however it should still punish players for excessive gambling through actual game mechanics as a teaching tool. And there's zero reason why that can't be programmed into games like Pokemon. And I recall a time when Nintendo games in particular had limits on play time before they tell you to take a break, so it wouldn't be much different to program a game to do it.

Okay, but pegi will still make them r18, so they won't be added back. End of.

End of day you're mad for being called on the hypocrisy. You didn't have a problem with kids being exposed to gambling you had a problem with EA or others trying to make money in scummy ways. Call it what it is, never use a bs "for the kids" argument when it's not real. You're not getting gambling in games targeting E or T ratings because thats an automatic PEGI 18 in EU now. Too bad so sad, get over it. Pegi actually agreed with the for the kids take and put their money where their mouth is, unlike you.

FYI DQ is rated CERO A in Japan, same as Pokemon. ESRB and PEGI thinking a sword is a bit more then monsters fighting so wait until 12 years old isn't much of a change lol. They both target kids, end of story since you wanted to use that as a copout argument.
