"That's it for today!!!!"

looooooooool

 

[Karspankey]

What'd he tell y'all


I tried to warn you guys


You did this to yourselves

 

[DrBillRiverman]

like a fainted driftloon... Im pretty Deflated....

 

[Bjoern the Smexy]

Just calling it now that all the leakers will come out saying "Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon is NOT Stars!"

And I'd probably believe them.

 

[Comet]

Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon - 3DS.... booo
Gold and Sun on VC - 3DS.... boooo!


Booo this direct! I mean I loved my 3DS but c'mon Nintendo/GameFreak. Switch is the future.

 

[Sora the Cat]

Well that was sad. ffs.

 

[L.O.R.D]

lol at VC gold and silver
there is already hacked injected version of gold and silver that works online.

 

[Stat!]

That was super lame. Felt very nintendo that they wouldn't have a mainline game Pokemon on their new system. I would have double dipped but now Im not so sure I'll grab Pokemon ultra moon.

 

[Dangansona]

I haven't even seen the news yet but of course the Pokemon company is a disappointment. I don't think I've seen any company squander the potential of their franchise more.

 

[64bitbros]

Where have you been for the past 20 years?

Guilty. Not on a Nintendo system. Switch is my first Nintendo system in a long long time.

 

[sixteen-bit]

What G/S VC? Direct saved

No Crystal tho, lol.

 

[Haano]

The worst direct I have ever witnessed.

Pokken tournament? So the Switch is just a revamped Wii U?

Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon? New story, some new Pokemon, what a waste...

Gold and Silver VC? As if we didn't already have that with homebrew...

A very boring direct indeed

 

[FriskyrumX]

(double post woops)

 

[Namikaze1]

Hahahaha

In day one for Ultra Sun.

 

[sirap]

This has got to be a joke right? Of all the things to announce in a Pokemon Direct...

 

[TheChocoboCadet]

Idk why they don't understand that everyone wants a switch version lmao

Some of us want an evolution to the series and were hoping the Switch hardware would allow that to happen. Instead we get what appears to be a rehash of assets from Sun/Moon with a different, terrible script attached.

 

[Tamanator]

Are you guys really going wild over a VC release of a GBC game? Palees.

Why? It's better than any new Pokémon game they could possibly develop.

 

[NESpowerhouse]

No Stars announcement. There is still hope... E3.

Don't do this to yourself man.

 

[Regiruler]

TPC mo: "$40 DLC"

 

[fredrancour]

Welp. I wanted pokken so that's nice, but I still kind of want to be done buying 3ds stuff, so ultra moon is a pass unless they came up with some zany features

 

[javac]

Makes sense, nowhere near enough people own the Switch yet, get Pokken on there to cultivate an audience and get some money from the Switch frenzy whilst raking in the big bucks on 3DS for the next year.

 

[Skronk]

Well I'm disappointed but also wont be buying any of this so joke's on them I guess

 

[kevin1025]

I'm totally expecting the showcase to be just as massive a troll now. Because why not at this point!

 

[RRockman]

My body was not ready. now posting from beyond the grave.


I didn't expect a BW2 situation though. Are we done with third singular versions of games now?

Pokken Switch better have ARMS tier post launch support.

 

[lvl99 Pixel]

might have to finally get a switch if DX means there will be a lot of people playing Pokken again.

But it also means lots of people playing on wireless connections :|

 

[mebizzle]

sigh, I don't know why I expected Nintendo to make me happy for once

 

[Izayoi]

I will never understand why you guys get so puffed up for Pokemon stuff, every fucking time.

When it comes to Gamefreak, it's best to expect the absolute minimum.

 

[Totakeke]

That was beautiful trolling. Mentioning Switch early on to lead to a bunch of nothing.

 

[Obliterator]

I am a huge Nintendo fan....
but this direct actually felt like a troll ass direct

It honestly felt kinda close to the SE FFVII PS1 version announcement. Like an actual Troll job.

I guess I'll never play the Sun and Moon games, I don't own a 3DS and don't plan on buying one at this point so unless some version of it ends up on Switch eventually I'm gonna totally miss them which is a bummer.

 

[Clipse]

3DS only lol. Gotta sell the New 2DS XL somehow.

 

[udivision]

Hey it's literally what everyone reasonable person expected... + Gold Silver!

 

[Sou Da]

I expected nothing and I'm still disappointed.

 

[oti]

You mean the thing that's sold out pretty much everywhere? I'm sure it would do fine without a Pokémon mainline game for some time.

While I believe 3DS + Switch is possible I'd rather see Stars as a 3DS game, a non-mainline Pokémon game announced for this year for Switch and a full mainline game exclusively on Switch for next year.

We'll see what they'll do.

Almost correct, I'd say.

 

[MindCollizion]

This was not a good Nintendo Direct. These announcements do not interest me.

 

[RocknRola]

....I.... I.... it's been a while since my heart go toyed with so damn easily. Well played Nintendo, well played.

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Hahahahahaha.

 

[Gaenor]

 

[Camells]

you had one job GF one job...

 

[Birathen]

They are saving the switch version for e3, right?

 

[Kuroh]

I was ready to be disappointed, but I'm still disappointed.

I just want Pokemon on a console again dammit!

 

[UnemployedVillain]

The switch needs a bigger userbase people.

Nothing is coming out for it until it gets more people.

LOL, why do people repeat this nonsense? If devs waiting until new consoles had a big base, no games would ever release for them. They aren't releasing the new games on the Switch because they don't want to, that's it. Gamefeak has a history of releasing games on one Nintendo handheld far after the new one has released. It's really not a big deal

 

[encephalon]

I'm sure they'll announce stars when they announce a new handheld.

 

[Adam Prime]

HAHA!Simpsoms.gif

 

[LFMartins86]

That was very underwhelming. No interest at all in Pokken and I like fighting games.

 

[Rogue Agent]

I won't lie... I am extremely disappointed.

But it's great news for fans of Pokken.

 

[The Greek Freak]

Can't even put out HG/SS for Switch? What we need more neo geo games?

I regret buying a switch and giving Nintendo any money fuck em..

 

[mocolostrocolos]

This is... lol

 

[polyh3dron]

"That's it for today!!!!"

llooooooooool

 

[fossi8]

RIP EUROGAMER... BAN ALL TOPICS RELATED TO THEM

 

[d34thfrom4bov3]

So did anybody post the "It's fucking nothing" gif yet? Man what a let down. Why would I want to play the same game on the 3DS, let me play the same game on a new system damn it. Also woulda been more excited for Gold and Silver if they were on Switch VC cause if I'm honest I haven't touched my 3DS much even with buying Fire Emblem.

Pretty hype for Pokemon Tekken Deluxe though, since that's kind of what I expected anyway I wasn't too let down.
