Don’t ever count the big N out. Pokemon has, for the second time, entered the short list of best opening weeks of all time at number 8 with 5.5 million copies. Pokemon White/Black edged it out with 6.77 million copies in its first week, and it’s the second best selling video game this year within its first week behind only Grand Theft Auto V.
Pokémon’s shift to 3D was a big mistake, as the series’ roots in 2D design make it difficult to transfer important game mechanics into a 3D overworld.
why do other games pull off 3D monster collecting JRPG games just fine? Look at Jade Cocoon and Shin Megami Tensei for examples.
BLG writes: "While it didn’t sell as well as the Nintendo DS, the Nintendo 3DS was nonetheless a wonderful system. And, while this may be a hot take, it’s easily my favorite handheld. Even more than a decade removed from launch, the system’s library has so many titles that feel as fresh today as they did back at release. While it was hard to narrow down, these 30 Nintendo 3DS games are emblematic of the system’s success."
The Pokemon Company has a solid thing going right now. Well, it’s been going on for a while, actually, but it has been a while since a new typing has been introduced to the popular monster-taming series. The latest one, Fairy type, was introduced back in Generation VI (Pokemon X & Y), so it does seem like it is time to bring in a new one. Check out Jason Capp's article for more.
i hear crickets chirping. why no heat on this? too positive for you?
aww but i wanted Nintendo to fail :( /j
Yea there hiding in the tall grass waiting for a negative comment to pop up. For all the hate Nintendo gets it just drives me nuts how all the hate people show are the same people who want there games and say they should go software oonly.So all those people who seem to not be here are the hypocrites. Ooo Yea also this game is the shizznez. Last pokemon game I played was silver for game boy Color. This game has that same feeling of something new and refreshing
