Making Nintendo a Must Have Again…….
Gears of War makes you buy Xbox, Metal Gear makes you buy Playstation. What makes us buy Nintendo? The natural answer to this is Mario but this really does not appeal to the hardcore gaming world as others do. In my opinion they need one game to move from hand held to console and then sales would go through the roof. The game……………Pokémon.
I have had almost every game that the Nintendo guys have release across multiple hand held consoles. I don’t naturally buy the next Game boy or DS Lite so I purposely went out and bought a hand held just to get my hands on the addictive RPG. Of course there would be challenges with making a hand held game into a console classic but just imagine if it was only half as good as Skyrim?
And they don’t really even have to go down that route. You could have a very short one player story with a massive multiplayer option. In my dreams I want to train my Super Six Pokémon in my world and take their abilities and fight them against my Northern Irish comrades.
You could have a straight up Tekken style battle with one on ones or true Pokémon league tournaments. You could earn experience through the battles and level up just in the same way the hand held consoles do it now. Sure you could just lift the game up and plonk it on a console but with the system specifications of the console far superior, why wouldn’t you want a Skyrim-like world!
I would reboot the whole series starting from the old Pokémon Blue and Red games and bring them to life console style. I want to get lost in Mount Moon for real this time!
What im talking about is within the grasp of Nintendo. I think it would suddenly give the gaming community a reason to buy a Nintendo console and I certainly would buy one.

Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
The charity event will be streamed live from Gamescom in August.
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
I agree - i would like to see a fully fledged Pokemon on the WiiU with over the top battle animations like the Disgaea series has.
