REALLY? Another two games of the same generation on the 3DS?

After Amiibos and Switch accessories I didn't think Nintendo couldn't do any more obvious quick cashgrabs, but thereitis.gif

I hope I'm proven wrong and those two games are full of new stuff, but it doesn't seem like that to me.

If it's kinda like Black/White 2 I guess it's acceptable, but no Switch version is still fucking unacceptable

 

[-Setsuna-]

Thanks for the laugh, TPC.

 

[zeromcd73]

3DS only? No buy.

 

[ZeoVGM]

Utter trash....just when I thought Nintendo was turning things around

And they did.

 

[ZeroGravity]

I am so fucking done with the 3DS. First Pokemon games ever that I won't be purchasing.

 

[kiri]

Everyone here needs to calm the fuck down.

Sure, this is basically Sun/Moon DLC, which after Delta Episode, was to be expected.
Pokken for Switch surprises no-one as the Wii U version was lagging behind in updates.
Stars, whilst doubtful to exist now as a name, given that Ultra Sun/Moon exists will most likely be ported later on to Switch - failing that, the next gen will be on Switch without fail in 2018.

It's a similar situation to DQ - a popular RPG title coming out on the most matured platform - in this case, its still 3DS.

"That's it for today"?

I tend not to swear but this is fucking unacceptable.

Nintendo is letting all the momentum of the Switch just die instantly while The Pokemon Company laughs in their face.

Their last chance was Pokemon Stars and they blew it. Game over.

 

[Par Score]

The *DS line should be taken out back and shot.

What is even the point of the Switch if this idiotic splitting of resources still happens?

 

[Aostia]

disappointment is not enough.
Pokken day one, tough

 

[Skittzo0413]

I wonder how confident Eurogamer is now about Stars...

 

[mariachi507]

Guess we'll have to wait until 2018 at the earliest for the Switch Pokemon. Silly Pokemon Company.

 

[Supermanisdead]

nintendo goddamnit u had one fucking job

 

[Meier]

Nintendo usually nails it with Directs but this was a misstep. Not worth anyone's time.

 

[Toni]

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

Please be excited.

 

[Majine]

Switch is dead.

They refuse to put Pokémon on it.

 

[ScientificPizza]

Nothing for the switch it seems. What a goddamn waste.

damn pokken can't catch a break

 

[Falchion]

So they said Ultra Sun and Moon will have a new story. I wonder if it'll be a completely new experience or just some new stuff thrown in.

 

[JoeInky]

It's weird, I would have bought a re-release of sun/moon on the Switch, but I have no interest in buying a new game on 3DS, even if they have new stuff.


I think I'm just done with 3DS now.

 

[Marmaladefire]

well that was all very disappointing

won't waste time on this shit again



yeah i mean who would buy a switch for pokemon

Maybe when they can produce enough of the Switch for the amount of people who would buy one for Pokemon!

 

[guybrushfreeman]

This was my fault for believing in Nintendo really. I knew better but I played myself

 

[SliceSabre]

A Sun and Moon remake after only a year is fucking lol man. Wow I cannot actually believe Nintendo has the balls to do that.

 

[j-wood]

Wow. Just...wow. Nintendo, you had a prime opportunity here. And you absolutely fucking swung and missed lol

 

[Immaculate]

its not even a sequel lmfao

Nintendo spent 8 minutes to announce a port and a rerelease with a what if story

 

[mindatlarge]

Gold and Silver are nice to have on 3DS, still gotta finish up Yellow though.

 

[Kid Ska]

hahaahahahaha

 

[Tevren]

Disappointing, extremely so. Hard pass on all this.

 

[Afterlife]

Well that was such a disappointment. At least the gold/silver thing was nice but wow so bad

 

[panama chief]

Just want to throw a Capital F "Fuck this" to Nintendo. You're gonna deluxe the fighting game no one asked for? Who is making choices for these guys?

 

[Dysun]

well that was a disappointment

 

[Black_Red]

Tbh, before they announced the direct I said the switch userbase doesnt justify a Pokemon game since they wouldnt be able to meet demand.
Maybe we're getting a port on March/April?

 

[Neoxon]

They will announce Pokemon Stars for 3DS and a port of Pokken for Switch. Fucking mark this post.

Huh, you nailed it.

 

[mauaus]

Meanwhile at nintendo

 

[FriskyrumX]

This thread is a perfect example of getting hyped over rumors LMAO.

 

[Gator86]

HAHA!Simpsoms.gif

Basically. Amazing. Never doubt Nintendo.

 

[Chessr]

Like i said in another thread:

why would anyone believe in pokemon stars for Switch.
Why would gamefreak put the 3rd game in a generation for a whole new platform ?
How would u be able to transfer from 3ds to switch ?

Makes only sense for both Nintendo and Gamefreak to release the next gen on switch in a few years

 

[Godzilla's Left Toe]

Pokemon Company WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO ME
NO CRYSTAL WHY

fixed

 

[Maiar_m]

We should hand over leaflets at each Nintendo announcement.

1- Check the hype levels
2- Mentally force yourself to acknowledge the hype is wrong
3- Reduce your own hype levels by 75%
4- proceed with announcement consumption.

Spoiler

5- Be disappointed regardless

 

[kunonabi]

I wonder how confident Eurogamer is now about Stars...

I could totally see Stars still happening considering Nintendo's current BS.

 

[butman]

There is no God

There is no Games

 

[FutureLarking]

3DS only? It's like GF doesn't want my money.

It's like people somehow think Gamefreak is anything more than a second-rate developer with a very good IP. It's not like they've ever proved they're ahead of the curve.

 

[ASaiyan]

Came back for ULTRA salt, was not disappointed.

I am glad about them porting Pokken, though. Hopefully you can do local multiplayer in this version without needing two screens.

This thread is a perfect example of getting hyped over rumors LMAO.

Yeah. Stars was never real; only willed into existence by rumors and fan hopes. No 3DS ports, only Wii U ones. Keep calm and carry on.

Spoiler

Tbh, I was starting to believe it myself when they announced this Direct, lol.

 

[Galava]

Huh, you nailed it.

It's not even Stars, it's a remake of a game from last year. Not even a sequel.

 

[UnemployedVillain]

Some of you are melodramatic as fuck

 

[mindatlarge]

Interesting. Happy to hear we are getting a new Pokemon mainline RPG game, though I did not expect it to be 3DS only.

Does this sort of confirm that they will continue the trend of no Pokemon mainline RPG games on a home console, even though the Switch is also portable? I hope not, but I guess only time will tell.

 

[E-phonk]

Pokemon Ultra stars Q1 2018

Does this sort of confirm that they will continue the trend of no Pokemon mainline RPG games on a home console, even though the Switch is also portable? I hope not, but I guess only time will tell.

Where else will they release the next pokemon game.

Hopefully this is some meme post. Letting all the momentum of the switch die my left ass cheek.

 

[trixx]

hahaha funny thing is I think i voted for pokken switch

 

[ieptbarakat]

Sure glad I didn't bother buying a Switch yet, Nintendo can't even push them to put their main titles on it.

 

[Tavernacle12]

Really, people? Grow up. Stars was a long shot anyways, as was anything beyond it. Pokken on Switch is neat and beefs up the holiday lineup, and Gold and Silver are the best games anyways.

 

[Pastry]

I'm a hard pass on all of that, no interest in Pokken and don't want to play anything on them 3DS screens after the Switch
