two weeks later and i still can't get this out of head, especially as i work through some of my first FF games

the internet loves to give modern pokemon shit for its graphics, but by refusing to participate in the AAA graphics arms race, they have unambigiously dominated the culture. they won.

The box will be the deciding factor for me lol

The green is kind of refreshing. I unknowingly chose all the blue versions on Switch 1 so it's nice with something different. But I'll need to see the legends before deciding

Looks like it's being sold on the Australian My Nintendo Store. Let's see if Europe follows suit

Coming up with good PokΓ©mon version names after this long can't be easy, but Winds and Waves are nice

Okay so it looks like there's... no way to buy it in Europe?

They don't want my money

Didn't expect this to become so relevant after today

Now to see if I get my hands on that Game Boy music player lol

Why would they release PokΓ©mon XD before Colosseum

2027 is crazy. Not that I'm complaining. Nintendo lineup discussion just became more interesting

Junichi Masuda is an incredibly underappreciated game composer, mainly because people tend to forget he's a composer.

We talk about Kondo, Sakaguchi etc., but Masuda is up there as well. He composed PokΓ©mon RBY all by himself, one of the most iconic soundtracks of all time. That's legendary work

Imagine buying Mario Kart 7 for Nintendo 3DS at Walmart, opening it, and then realizing Waluigi isn't even playable

It also acts as a bit of a distraction from the cynical aspects of the current industry, which continues to go in a questionable direction

I don't know what it says about me when the game announcements that get the most excitement out of me tend to be retro collections, whether I played the original games or not. There's just something special about games that were made with limited technology

Resident Evil Generations Pack shipped. I'll probably get it tomorrow. I'm a casual RE fan and mainly got it because there was a price error, I don't deserve to receive it early, but I'll take it

It's called Nintendo Treehouse because it's an actual treehouse at NoA HQ. It's their office. They work there. They climb the tree every morning
