It's live yay. Access from the news feed for now. Not in the switch online section of the e store.

Divinity Original Sin 2 with Steam cross saves is excellent news. It's a fantastic game.

Saw earlier that there is a physical version incoming too

Hopefully some surprises

Ohhhh CrossCode and Kentucky Route Zero stealth releases please.

CastorTroy

That and State of Play on the same day. Strange. And a couple days before The Game Awards

The Direct started off really well with Sports Story, a sequel to Golf Story. And Streets of Rage 4. The games so far after that have been.....meh.

Corholio

Sports Story, The Survivalists, Axiom Verge 2.

Two sequels to two of the best indie games in the last few years. Very nice.

Great news. Loved Golf Story

I switched it off as I found it boring. Axiom Verge 2 has regained my attention. I loved that game, absolutely brilliant. Own it on Wii U and the Switch Multiverse Edition. I hope that the sequel has at least SNES like graphics. I'll watch the rest of the presentation later.

Mr E

Can I get a big ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ from the group?

They have their Switch game and mobile games. What more do they want?

chrislad

Uuuuuuuuuuuuugh.

Unless it's a patch to make the game actually enjoyable, then bleh. Just cut your losses with it. It's made its money back, and it will make more based on it being the only mainline Pokemon game, but I don't think even putting back the original 'Dex could actually make the game fun to play.

I would have thought Pokémon would have died out years ago. Seems not. Also it's the biggest media franchise of all time if you believe this ...

Pokémon Direct - 09.01.2020

It starts in about a minute or so, I'm sure most here are dying to watch it.

super_furry

Jaysus, this is almost enough to make you miss all those Smash Directs. Almost.

sligeach

I should have said it, but I expected an Expansion Pass broken up into 2 sections and that it would cost €30. Gotta Milk 'Em All!

Edit: lol And it's €30 for each version. Ugh!

Mr E

Pokesheep will pay it.

RobbingBandit

You'll need Nintendo online and probably pokemon home subs too to fully utilize both expansion this ain't gonna be cheap, think I'll go for a family sub and see if I can find a few hermanos to share

Ace Attorney

Feckin pokemons, i though ninty was due a big direct for the year comin

nintendoo

Nintendo are in danger of killing the goose that laid the golden eggs here.

The Pokemon that weren't in the main game make more sense now. It's kinda like when Arkham Origins was released & instead of fixing the game's continuous problems they just ignore it to released the DLC instead. 2 new areas that'll be as filled with content as the wild area was in the main game, ie boring outside of wandering pokemon that only appear around 10 feet in front of the player.

Mr.Saturn

I'm all for Game Freak jumping on the DLC expansion train to sidestep the usual craic around a omnibus/3rd version, but yeah, Sword and Shield is the worst place to start from a PR point of view.

RobbingBandit

Scary part it only seems to be 200 pokemon introduced with both expansion packs that leaves loads out. Pokemon Sword/Shield Christmas extravaganza coming to gouge you this holiday season.

Mr.Saturn

I've kinda resigned myself to the skeezy feeling that we'll end up with a full dex eventually- you just gotta buy Gen IV remakes and SwSh expansions. Hell, throw in Let's Go sequels just for the trolls.

Feeling trolled at this point
