I am not interested in Switch 2 – but there is one game that will make me open my wallet

Published:

Listen, I love my Nintendo switch. It’s a great compact device – a hell, I couldn’t survive pandemic blockades with my intact health Animal passage: novel horizons. So you can say that I am interested in Switch 2, but I will not get one on the day of the premiere for one very basic reason.

Where is my damn thing Pokémon Run the title, nintendo? With each novel generation of the console I sit and I am ecstatic to wait for the possibility that you finally learned your lesson and decided to put the main line Pokémon He plays the premiere. And I am disappointed with every novel generation of console.

The closest we have ever come Pokémon Dash For Nintendo DS, which was a more loved technological demo for the novel mechanics of the novel Handheld than a fully shown game.

I admit, I’m of this type Pokémon A fan who complains about how nonsense looks and run of contemporary games, but then introduces my credit card cheerfully every time a novel one appears. Does this make me a hypocrite? Probably, but I do not think that both unjustified, that something can love something, and regret that it was not better. Anyway Pokémon Start the title of Switch 2 I would make me queue to get a novel console – but based on this I am not interested.

Problem with the title of launch

If I can be truthful for a moment, the SWITCH 2 start composition is … quite delicate, truthful. What do we have? Kaba Triple-A third games is re-published, but not spectacular film material Cyberpunk 2077 It works on a novel console Fire did not lit under me. Some updates of the OG switches for an additional ten bugs – oh wow, Pokémon Scarlet and Violet Does not work like rubbish now?

Great, I am Sooo impressed. We have several smaller titles of the series and the shots of the first page names, but probably none of the largest franchises. Forgive me that I’m not uncontrolled Pyus pop tetris 2s.

Don’t get me wrong, I love me Mario mapsBut this is not the premiere of the earth for the novel conveyor. (Image loan: nintendo)

We get a novel one Mario mapsBut there is no main line Mario game. Super Mario Party JamboreeIN Donkey Kong Banana, AND Pokémon Legends: For They are all incoming, but not for several months – oh, and For It will be available on the switch that I already have, although it will probably look terrible.

New Zelda The game is not observable and Metroid Prime 4 It is … well, it comes, but only Samus knows when. I would like to take a moment to remind you that it was like that Eight years Because this game was originally announced – and it is also a Switch game 1. Very frosty, Nintendo.

To be truthful, this is a repeated motif for Nintendo. The premiere warehouses were rarely impressive in the case of Giant consoles; Almost half of the Wii starting titles is a mediocre movie and television program Both Nintendo 64 remakes (Mario AND Rayman). To make it clear, I’m not saying that these modifications were bad, but give it a break.

Why is Pokémon rejected?

I tried to understand the logic of a coherent refusal to include Nintendo Pokémon – which, so that we would not forget, is the greatest intellectual property on the planet, worth more than more than more than Call of dutyIN WarcraftAND Play the theft car In total – during the premiere of your consoles. It has zero meaning on paper.

I have several theories. First, it is that the Nintendo programming team simply does not have a sway with many corporations hose that manages together Pokémon Franchise (Game Freak, The Pokemon Company, Creatures Inc.) to ensure that the novel title is always ready for the appropriate premiere of the console. Another theory is that Nintendo intentionally uses a novel one Pokémon Authorizes to organize the sale of your consoles or overtake these external games to prevent the novel attention to sharing attention Zelda Or Mario title.

I would like to believe that the main reason is simply that Game Freak would prefer to spend a little more time with the equipment to release the game that looks and works great, but … well, let’s be truthful, it seems unlikely. In fact, it is probably a combination of all these factors and others, it should never be properly understood by ordinary mortals like us.

I can only say: nintendo, if you had Pokémon tides and cales (or whatever is called) to start with Switch 2, it would sell better. It’s basic. I would buy it immediately; I was one of the six people who bought both Pokémon Mini. I am not arduous to satisfy.
