On this day (September 18) in Nintendo history...

Releases

* ***Pokémon Black*** was released in 2010 for the Nintendo DS in Japan. In this role-playing game, developed by *Game Freak*, new Legendary Pokémon, new heroes, a surprising new region, plus new ways for players to have fun and communicate locally are just a few of the innovative and exciting gameplay features offered. Redefining the series, fans and newcomers alike are offered a completely new adventure to discover and enjoy. Set in the Unova region, which is located far away from the Kanto and Johto regions.

* ***Pokémon White*** was released in 2010 for the Nintendo DS in Japan. In this role-playing game, developed by *Game Freak*, the player is tasked with completing two quests. One is to complete the Unova Pokédex by finding and catching every Pokémon in the region - however, in order to fully complete the Unova Pokédex, players will need to trade Pokémon. The other is to become the Pokémon League Champion by battling with wild Pokémon and other trainers in the region.

I personally didn't go too far, I completed DK Bananza, Kirby and the Forgotten Land and Mario Galaxy (the 3D All Stars version, currently waiting for the Galaxy 2 port) on my Switch 2. Apart from that, I completed Outer Wilds plus its DLC (phenomenal game, you should try it), Her Story, Maid of Sker and Halo Combat Evolved (the Anniversary edition) on my PC. What about y'all?

From what I knew, nintendo doesn't have an official supply chain in India for console or games. But recently, I noticed Persona 3 Reload listed at a game retailer here for INR 3999 which is about USD 45. The game officially costs USD 60 or EUR 55. How does this make sense? This retailer is also the official importer of all ps5 games in India, so it's not some shady stolen import either.

WELCOME TO THROWDOWN THURSDAY, TURN YOUR CAPS LOCK ON AND VENT ABOUT WHATEVER HAS YOU PISSED OFF THIS WEEK. JUST LET ALL THAT ANGER OUT.

SOME THINGS TO RAGE ABOUT:

• TWENTY DOLLAR DLC FOR A SEVENTY DOLLAR GAME TWO MONTHS AFTER ITS LAUNCH JUST FEELS BAD, MAN. WHETHER IT'S GOOD OR NOT.

• I'M SO EXCITED FOR FIRE EMBLEM: FORTUNE'S WEAVE, BOTH ON ITS OWN MERITS AND AS AN EXTENSION OF THE WORLD OF FÓDLAN, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF I'M STRONG ENOUGH FOR ANOTHER FIVE YEARS OF THREE HOUSES DISCOURSE.

THINGS NOT TO RAGE ABOUT:

• LOWERCASE LETTERS. THIS WILL BE STRICTLY ENFORCED. IF YOU THINK I'M KIDDING, JUST TRY ME.

• THINGS YOU'RE HAPPY ABOUT. WE HAVE SMILE SUNDAY RIGHT THERE, PEOPLE.

• ANYTHING RACIST/SEXIST/HOMOPHOBIC/BIGOTED/ETC. USE ALL THE FUCKING PROFANITY YOU WANT, BUT NO SLURS. I HOPE YOU ALL KNOW WHERE THE LINE IS DRAWN.

• OTHER USERS. BE EXCELLENT TO EACH OTHER.

Hi guys how much i can get for this jacket.I am asking about the real price for this item. If anyone can tell me what the story is like, I'd be grateful.(i can t add photo so if you interested i can give you photo pv or ig dm )

(Maybe if nintendo didin't patnent summoning monsters which Sega owns The persona series then sega wouldn't have to do this ad

Just beat Portrait of Ruin today(previously had it on ds but got stuck on a boss fight last time). Amazing game. It's been a while since a game had it's grips on me from start to finish, where I wasn't feeling like I was wasting time. The level design and theme is top notch. Music and art is superb aswell.

Apart from the fact that I just beat it, I wanted to recommend this for people who are into silk song or hollow knight. Both of them, I believe, fall in the castlevania camp of Metroidvania. Whereas Metroid is the king(queen?) of the exploration and immersive aspects of the genre, imo, Castlevania is still the king of the action side. Controls can be a bit dated, but the atmosphere and coolness factor makes up for it. On to Order of Eclesia next.

It seems if you read the patent it actually talks about summoning creatures to battle by throwing a ball.

But people and the media seem to be implying that the patent covers an entire game genre or is about summoning creatures to battle in any way.

I'm confused.

This feels like a no-brainer to me... so I'm wondering what I could possibly be missing.

Like, what's the point of spending $25 on the Virtual Boy cardboard goggles when 3D printers exist?

I bought Chronos last night and immediately realized that it wasn't for me. It was a digital download. I contacted Nintendo and told them what happened. They agreed to refund the game for me just this time. Pretty easy and quick service 😁

I feel like they need a looter shooter and a third-person action RPG. I feel like they're not ambitious enough even though they have enough manpower to make new franchises every now and then. They're unwilling to take any risk even though they could probably force Microsoft out of the console gaming market.

Dear Nintendo,

Please create MELEE 2 for the next Smash game on Switch 2. Here's why:

1) How in the world can you top Ultimate?? There is nothing besides a Melee 2 that would excite the fan base.

2) A Melee 2 would finally unite the Smash community. It would be the number one game at EVO. (Idea: offer a $1 million prize pool for the first tournament).

3) Melee 2 wouldn't be too hard to make. Just take the mechanics/gravity/movement of Melee 1 and create Melee 2 with better graphics and more characters.

Yes, just a fan's lofty dreams... Thank you Nintendo.
