I dunno why people are so downvote heavy in this comm…
Yeah I agree that Nintendo has seen the most success when they have a compelling gimmick; time will tell if the same gimmick with more power will do the trick. I doubt the mouse gimmick will be more than a novelty, but we’ll see what they show tomorrow.
Besides crushing emulators, how will Nintendo compete?
The same way they have been for a while, by making charming, accessible, and fun games. The average consumer doesn’t care about how litigious they are, unfortunately.
I’ll do that. You’re right in that it’s been years since I booted up the original. I want some death company gear too which I don’t think is in 2 at all.
That’s a decent reason to play. So long as you know what data they’re sucking up and selling and are ok with it, more power to you. What’s crazy to me is I live pretty close to a couple of gyms and I constantly see people drive up and play from their cars. Now that I think completely defeats the purpose.
Been clean from this game for a few years now. It’s really not worth it; Niantic just uses it as a geospatial data harvesting tool rather than focusing on making an entertaining game, imo. There’s a reason all their other games have been failures, the Pokemon IP is the only thing keeping this game afloat.
