    I would expect at best a single concept art of a pokemon

    Yep, and if that's all they have, I'd prefer them to just not say anything. The games industry really needs to stop talking about stuff that's in deep development.

    Do they, though? The standard for film and television is to announce just about everything as soon as any work starts, so it's not a games-specific thing

    That Mario movie is probably at least 2 years out and not even written, but we know about it now

    one of my favorite things about Bethesda is that they don't announce stuff until it's like six months away from release

    Even if they just say that Pokemon Switch is out in 2019 and not show anything, we can already jump to the conclusion that it'd be a November release since that's been when Pokemon's been released since ORAS.

    I am betting they'll announce a Smash port to be released March 2nd, and a free day-of eShop game for "burning up the charts"

    I was wondering how Dahlia showed up in the first episode of the game if she was convicted of murdering her sister in this one and then woops, that's how she did it

    I used a walkthrough for the final bits of that case because I am very tired but really want to see the story

    I'ma try to not use a walkthrough for this one though

    Case 5 of Trials and Tribulations is the high point of the series and while there is good and interesting stuff in the later games they are all chasing after this one.

    Yep

    There's plenty of other great cases in the series, but nothing holds a candle to 3-5.

    None of the games after the original trilogy made me laugh out loud. The original three have got some killer writing and 1-4, 2-(last one) and 3-5 are crazy tense

    If it was an FMV John Cena that didn’t mesh at all I too would buy it.

    In fact, I might be more inclined in this scenario than in a well rendered model version.

    The latest rumor seems to be that Chibi Robo burning alive is confirmation that Dark Souls Remastered (which was leaked this morning) is coming to Switch.

    He is doing somewhat of a Praise The Sun pose.

    Splatoon 2 is apparently the first console game to sell more than 2 million copies in Japan in 8 years

    you might be wondering what that game 8 years ago was

    ...Wii Party?

    Laura Kate Dale does good reporting but never seems to be able to get Nintendo stuff right

    She's "confirmed" a mother 3 announcement multiple times at this point, I think

    She was pretty spot-on hardware wise and was the main source of Mario+Rabbids, though.

    Cross-posting from the G&T thread. Maybe one of you fine folks can help me here:

    I'm really conflicted. I am purchasing a New 2DS XL today, but I am not sure if I want the turquoise or the orange one. I like them both. Damn it why does life have to be so hard?!?!?!

    Any thoughts?

    edit: I went to purchase the black and turquoise one yesterday, but then I took another quick look at the white and orange one and I said "let me sleep on it." This morning I go back and look at both and I'm still stumped.

    I really like the "toy" aesthetic of white + orange, but as the black + turquoise goes more with the general color theme of my electronics life, plus it is less conspicuous which might be good as I am a 37 year old man that occasionally whips it out* on the train.

    Turquoise is a better color than orange

    Consider the Poke Ball model though

    Wii Sports sold 3.1M, Wii Fit 2.6M, Wii Play 2.4M, but Wii Party only ever hit 1.3M.
    Those were a bit more than 8 years ago, though.

    I suspect that what they're referring to is Mario Kart Wii, which had sold 2.1M copies by January 2009.

    They just dropped it, no fanfare:

    https://www.nintendo.com/nintendo-direct/01-11-2018/

    Dark Souls was correct, but no FE nor AC.

    But shit yes TWEWY! And it seems to include that scenario they teased in the iOS version then never made.

    It's not a new game but this shows TWEWY isn't dead, there's hope
