Okay so they announced DLC that should have already been in the game, and want to charge us $30 for it? -_-

It's an improvement from the old method. Buy the game for full price then a year or two later buy the game again at full price and start from scratch in order to play the extra stuff.

It still sucks but it's better than what we had with previous generations.

I'll cut both of your hands. Oh, you don't like that? Don't worry, I'll just cut one. I hope you are happy with the improvement ^^

Yes I would much rather have one hand than none



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

Expansion pass is hundreds of times better than a third version. Thank goodness that stupidly archaic practice has seemingly finally stopped.

Mystery Dungeon remake is cool... except it looks terrible. The "looks like a 3ds game" thing is usually an exaggeration... but wow.

But really other than Diamond/Pearl remake this direct was the best I could expect it to be.

Incredible. They were able to shit on their customers even more. Not only they delivered a broken game that fails in pretty much every area except the core battle system and the catching mechanic... but they will sell a partial solution to some of these problems for 30 dolars. Wow...

The sad (and funny) thing is... no matter how much content they sell, the game will still be flawed.

Create a problem and sell the solution, dems Bethesda level tactics. It's laughable that they still couldn't fit all Pokemon in here, maybe one day they'll figure out that the Switch is 100x more powerful than the 3DS which means it's capable of moar, not less.

Is it a remake or a remaster? I thought it just added a coat of HD paint.

The original mystery dungeon is a 2d gba/ds game. It's definitely been created from the ground up. I enjoyed playing it on the GBA so it's a good game and will be enjoyable on the Switch if the graphics don't bother you.

They know how to hook me hard.
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team is one of my favourite games ever - I've already preordered (well I'm opening my Switch right now to do so). It looks fantastic, it's not as nice-looking as the sprite art on the GBA/DS, but the style is really well done. I love the music remix too. So happy (and hopeful that this means that a Explorers remake is on the way in a few years should this sell well)

Yeah, I could not be more hyped for this remake. I planned on picking up the GBA versions, but this looks so damned good. And that artstyle is killer!

HYPE!HYPE!HYPE!HYPE!HYPE!HYPE!HYPE!HYPE!HYPE!HYPE!HYPE!HYPE!HYPE!HYPE!HYPE!HYPE!HYPE!HYPE!HYPE!HYPE!HYPE!HYPE!

I never once bought the old 3rd versions, and never felt I was missing anything from them. I mean, what did  Crystal, Platinum, Ultra, really add to the games? A new legendary, and a couple new pokes. Right?

And even if I was so inclined to get the 3rd version, I could just sell my original version for 80% of the full price, because that's how much Nintendo and Poke'mon games hold their value. Poke'mon Black for example still goes for $33 CIB! Diamond goes for $24. SoulsSilver goes for $48! That's more than the game friggin launched at! Source: pricecharting.com

That's... debatable, actually. Someone can just wait for the third version and get the complete game for full price. If you want this, you need to pay full price plus 30$. This is not done to fix the multiple versions custom, otherwise there would not be Sword and Shield. This is done because is much cheaper and profitable.



You know it deserves the GOTY.
