I mean, they're just saying what Nintendo won't. The 3DS was dead the moment the Switch was announced.

I still would prefer them separating it in the future

Have a dedicated handheld and console which isn't held back by "Will it work on the tablet when it's on the go"

It's a bit more complicated for Nintendo to develop their first party games between two systems though. I mean, they could do it in the past, but I feel it's harder now with modern game development (something Nintendo admitted to having difficulties with).

Heck, even Sony sees more success when they support one platform vs two platforms. I wouldn't mind having Nintendo for portable games and Sony (or MS) for the home console experience.

Why would they go back? It makes no sense for them, the Switch is gunna have the most exclusives out of any Nintendo ever.

Why in fucks name did the designs for the mc make it through the planing stages of development? They are by far the worse thing pokemon have produced.

MeteorPanda3081d ago

but...you customize your own characters now? l dont like that boys neck. holy shit it's about as strong as a twig

Antnee5343081d ago

I understand that, but if you pick a boy you get the worse choices.

MeteorPanda3081d ago

oh for sure. The franchise just shits on the male version more and more per new entry, lol

Antnee5343080d ago

It's so weird being that the player base is 70/30 male you know. You would think that they would give the males a better choice selection.
