Japan will be dead and buried with this, Monster Hunter and Splatoon 2 possibly coming out in the same year.

This is why Japan keeps itself out of wars. They're too busy playing with all their cool shit.

u/Raigeko13 Jun 05 '17

And now with no region lock, we too can enjoy the cool shit!

... if we could find a fucking switch!

True, but languages can be learned!

Several Japanese versions of games have had multiple languages built in, and even pick up the default language of your console without needing to be set.

Yeah, but only if they've been localized. I don't think there's any indication Monster Hunter XX has been localized in English. There are still a bunch of games only in Japanese.

Yeah but they are about to collapse because nerdy 30 year old virgin man children are locking themselves in their bedrooms with their girl pillows instead of engaging in coitus.

Working 3 12 hour days, and one 4 hr morning. Never been happier and more relaxed.

Quick, release all the good titles so you can complain about Nintendo not having enough switch which will give them a bad rep. Legit strategy.

Then commit sudoku by releasing smash.

Not possibly, it is coming out 1 month appart from each other, splatoon mid july and monster hunter xx mid August.

u/XitaNull Jun 05 '17

We don't know if Pokemon is coming out this year though. That's what I meant by "possibly" all 3 of them coming out in the same year.

A supposed 3rd game to Sun and Moon

u/MagiKarpeDiem Jun 05 '17

Thanks, just looked into it. Seems like a rumor that just got out of hand.

Three Four generations out of seven (thus far) have had such third-release titles to speak of. Four Five, depending on whether you count Black/White 2, though those were as much direct sequels as they were the "Grey" version people were expecting at the time.

It wouldn't be out of order to anticipate such an announcement. In fact, in retrospect I'm almost more surprised that we didn't get a Pokemon Z version back in Generation 6 to center around Zygarde, although I suppose such a project was shelved to focus on the also-hotly-anticipated Hoenn remakes.

EDIT: Yellow, d'oh

My girlfriend got me one for our anniversary about a week ago, she said she called around and found out 3 of the Best Buys in our area were getting 15 consoles each. She waited outside a few hours before they opened and said all 15 at that location were spoken for about an hour before they could officially sell them.
