The sorry state of gaming

I'm not too sure about a mainline Pokemon game, but definitely another pokemon release of some sort
I'd equate this to the gameboy micro in that they're both releasing after their successor and are just a cheaper way to keep selling units and remaining games in stock
that's really what this is, just having factories produce this cheaper option instead of the more expensive units with 3D screens, allowing nintendo to sell them at this much lower price point in order to keep the 3ds alive a bit longer

they do actually look pretty damn nice too

yeah, but you see, that's what the original 2ds was about. Besides, I don't believe the switch will be considered a handheld successor. But I guess we'll see.

I mean, I don't think gen8 will be on 3ds (I sure hope not) but there's sure to be another set of gen7 games of some sort. Maybe a sequel, maybe a remake, maybe something else.

If anything, I could imagine Pokémon putting one version on 3DS and one on Switch, like Mystery Dungeon did with GBA/DS, but I think it's more likely the next games will be 3DS-only.

[Hiro]

ah I suppose I could see that. I don't think we'll see DPP remakes on 3ds, but a third version or solar/lunar eclipse could be neat
though it would be nice if the pokemon stars rumor were true instead

thats actually neat too bad the trailer shows no gameplay

yeah, I'm not that optimistic, but we'll see

[C.Mongler]

One, I don't even know where the fuck AoE 4 would go or do, and if AoE 3 is any indicator expanding on the formula just makes the game more cumbersome and kinda stupid

Two, Relics games have been progressively getting shittier and i dont know if their style of RTS really lends itself well to AoE either

both things considered, i will remain super cautiously optimistic, but i feel like this is a brand cashgrab that will be a mediocre, uncompetitve RTS that flops because of windows store exlusivity





also for the love of fucking god why cant they do Age of Mythology Definitive, and/or do Age of Mythology 2. It's easily the best game in the franchise and easily has the best growth potential because it's not as constrained by literal history.
