About this deal

TMs aren’t the only thing you can make, and Pokémon’s culinary step forward from Galar’s curries is sandwiches. You can set up a picnic out in the overworld, interact with your Pokémon (including giving them baths), play ball, and make tasty bocadillos in a cute, if awkward, little minigame. You can follow set recipes or try and make some unique flavours. Depending on the ingredients you use to construct your succulent sub, you’ll get different benefits, such as boosting experience for one type of Pokémon, or increasing the drop rate of items from a particular type, and even Tera raid boosts. There are tons of these to experiment with, so even our wonkiest sandwich felt like it helped us fill our bags and our Pokémon up a little bit. The mechanics themselves are everything I wanted in a pokemon game so I am excited to try them out. The new dex also looks great from what I have seen. From this point on, I am really interested in the remake situation, I assume we are going to get B/W then B2/W2 but it's about time we had a johto remake. I enjoyed the changes of Arceus, and I know some folks wish they'd brought more of those mechanics over, but I think part of the point of Arceus is it's a different time when we were first discovering partnership with Pokemon rather than fearing them, and thus things work differently than modern times of Pokemon. I like that it's rather unique. What do you think of this new Pokémon themed Switch OLED? Grab your starter Pokémon and let us know in the comments!

People can say a lot about Sword&Shield, but that game looks way way better than Scarlet&Violet, with much nicer and more diverse environments. Truth be told, yyyyyup, this is poor game optimisation. The Switch has managed to run stuff like Doom, Wolfenstein, Warframe (even with its "open-world-esque" maps), Breath of the Wild, Bayonetta 3, Xenoblade Chronicles Remastered, 2 and 3, and a long etcetera. SV is worse in that regard but that's because 3 years later it has the same issues plus more while Arceus already fixed some of them the very same year it came out. There are still plenty more ways we’d like to see the Pokémon franchise evolve, but Pokémon Scarlet & Violet has us excited about the series' future. We really hope Game Freak can figure out how to smooth out the series’ ongoing performance issues on Switch because they'll certainly rub some players the wrong way — and they’re going to become a serious detriment over time. Scarlet & Violet is most fun and exciting when you're just exploring the world, and while there are many small new details and improvements to the Pokémon formula, it still plays it safe in a few areas. Regardless, things point toward a promising future for Gen 9 and beyond. It’s a smaller step than many may have hoped for, especially considering what Pokémon Legends: Arceus did, but it's definitely one in the right direction.Another great thing about linear RPG's is that you can usually go into an area you aren't ready for, take the risk and if you win the reward will be greater. These games CANNOT be worse than DP/SP, so that's a start. I'm really hoping these games are as good as Sw/Sh. Since, I really enjoyed them. Hearing that most of the jank is in the overworld makes me sad, I really hope it doesn't take me out of the game too much. Which is a shame really. I have a feeling user comments are going to be broken down to, those who can cope with the problems and stay positively overall anyway, those who can't cope with the performance issues and it has to be a bad game for them, and those in-between these two sides. They could have established new studios or contracted existing ones years ago to start working on games to be ready on a yearly cycle like Activision do with CoD. Instead it seems we’re going to forever get games that have lofty goals but are hamstrung by GF constantly trying to keep up with tight deadlines. Shame.

The OLED version of Nintendo Switch has no big news inside. The technical characteristics seem to be the same as the past model, starting from the nVidia Tegra X1 processor. The only real change concerns the increase in internal memory, which raises from 32 GB to 64 GB. Even the battery does not bring about improvements. According to Nintendo the battery guarantees a gaming experience that goes from 4.5 to 9 hours. The Joy-Con have remained exactly the same, and sadly there is no support for Bluetooth headphones. Price in Line With the Market It's the same on the Switch, there are plenty of high demanding games on the Switch today that have been properly coded and optimized for the system, who both look and perform much better than any of Game freak's games.After playing a game like Xenoblade Chronicles 3 recently, there is literally no excuse for Game Freak to deliver a game in such a poor state. The story was really bad while also interrupting you every 5 seconds and the routes outside the wild area were uninteresting corridors. It also suffered from the now classic 3D animation GameFreak issues, including the moving characters 180 degrees with no animation at all an really stiff battle animations. All while saying that those animations were the reason not all Pokemon were in the game. Saying people didn't have valid issues with SWSH and it was just Dexit is just lieing. It's like they created a bland open world, with some different zones (grass, snow, forest) with little in it due to their crappy engine and performance constraints and then just rushed with dumping assets on the map, without spending any time to polish it and blend it naturally into the terrain. The flagship of the new Nintendo console is, without a doubt, the 7 ”OLED screen. Significantly brighter than older LCDs, it ensures vibrant colours and impressive contrasts. Crisp and fluid, the display reaches a maximum resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels, but it is unfortunately not anti-glare and may show some gaps when playing outside. The sound also takes a step forward compared to the previous model thanks to larger and more powerful speakers. New Developments Under the Body Level scaling is a crutch that open world games lean on because...how else would it work? Doesn't make level scaling anything other than terrible.
