This is one of those games that should have been on IOS and Android instead of 3DS


There are a ton of games almost identical to this on ios and android, it would be lost in a sea of them. Why do you think it should have been on them?

 

edit - Great review tho, will check out the game when I get a chance since I had been wary of what was available for free from it.



Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

Final Opinion: Disgusting.

Pokémon Shuffle is an addictive concept, but it doesn't take long until it becomes clear that there is a lot of suffering involved. The player gets constantly bullied by the limited stock of lives and there's no option to pay a one-time fee to lift the restrictions of microtransactions and be in full control of the game. I don't give this game a score because it's free, but free doesn't mean good. In this case it really means the opposite. Thankfully, the upcoming Puzzle & Dragons Z is supposed to be devoid of microtransactions and after the experience I had with Pokémon Shuffle over the last few days, I have to say that that alone is already worth paying for.

I really wish that would become normal in F2P games.... There are some games I would play if given that option.

 

I give Nintendo slack on this one since this game was made strictly as a test of different models. There is nothing wrong with the F2P model when it is done correctly. (Planetside 2, Warframe, etc.)
