@jultar1000 and that's all I'm really arguing right now is that oftentimes pirating Nintendo games is excusable based on how accessible they make their old games. Especially since its entirely within their power to fix that problem.

@bi_mudkip i might have phrased myself poorly in that tweet the problem is not about them not looking like Link's Awakening, but looking at least as good as it. these remakes don't look good for a Nintendo game made in 2021, it doesn't look polished at all

@RockMeAsmodeus nintendo should honestly just start making ps2 games that would solve a lot of my problems

@sheevpaIps Fully agreed, for 2d the style works, but the DP remakes in 3d just look like walking funko pops, and from the chingling, Nintendo still hasn't fixed the frame rate issue

@The_Meezus Yeah it looks super goofy lol. Tbh tho, people are pretending this is a new issue with gamefreak/nintendo when "wow the new game looks like **** despite being on stronger hardware lol" has been an opinion since basically gen 3.

@PokeMadness1996 @Eoghan891 @NintendoAmerica The problem is they are advertising it as a remake, it’s a remaster. That’s the problem

@Diamond_Aura_ @NintendoAmerica Hope they fix it though. The overworld character models haven't been that appealing to me so far.

@jackkirby We had the same issue. The socket's probably faulty and it's a pain to replace yourself. I'd complain to Nintendo and see if they'll do a service repair.

@SashaMetralleta @dyna_power @NintendoAmerica What? I only said that SwSh didn’t have framedrops for me in offline play. You have some serious problems dude...

@Kasei57695655 @blobba5 @NintendoAmerica A remaster is just polishing the graphics and make it slightly better, like SS HD, whereas this’s literally recreating the game in a new engine. So with your logic the Link’s Awakening remake on Switch or the Crash and Spyro trilogies would be a remaster.

@awsumsas @UnWeaboo @NintendoAmerica i mean i get that they’re kids games, but i played the original dppt when i was super young and didn’t have trouble with it. i honestly think the best thing would be to add a difficulty selector, where you could opt for easier gameplay if you wanted it

@Diamond_Aura_ @NintendoAmerica it’s supposed to be a reference to the old over head chibi pixel style but it has models and it’s 3D and be a reference and fan service to the old style of the game, be glad we didn’t get something that completely ruined it and it’s staying 100% faithful to the original

(@Kasei57695655) reported
@Daniel328DT @NintendoAmerica That’s my problem with this too. I would have liked this if the 3D games were all this style, but since they have a total different style to them it kinda looks like a fairly large step back for Pokémon games. And it is a remaster they are trying to write off as a remake. Smh

@VerrethLee We need that switch pro bad, this is becoming a deal breaker for me as time goes on, I would have bought Age of Calamity if it wasn't for the performance issues! But yeah not hating on Nintendo I just want their games to be the best they can be!

@SMM_Latest it was more of a Youtube problem, it buffered and didn't go back to being the live broadcast so I was behind, and since I was behind, when it actually ended it was very abrupt and ended midsentence, which made me think it was Nintendo's fault lol

(@Grottokein) reported
@lcehearts People love Pokémon but hate gamefreak/Nintendo because they know that they don’t have to make a necessarily good game by modern standards for it to sell well. Gamefreak has been having major issues in design back end ever since gen 2 and they just don’t care to address it

@a_jx99 @NintendoAmerica it's also the same scenario with art, and i know, art and other things like that matter a lot to some people, but sometimes its just not worth your time to complain about something. a game is a game, no matter what, complaining wont seem to do anything or fix the problem.

people will be like “this nintendo game is still a year’s out they have time to fix it” and then it releases at the exact same quality of the announcement trailer every single time

@Hogisto @dyna_power @NintendoAmerica did the little shill get mad? lol GameFreak can't make a 3D without framedrop issues, it's a fact an open world game in GameFreak's hands is a bad idea

@arysamisu Maybe not on the switch, but maybe if next gen Nintendo *actually* catches up, maybe. That, or invest in a PC "live service".

@NintendoAmerica I'm sorry but you accidentally put the price of these games at €60 and not the real price of €30. It's not a big deal as we all make mistakes but could you fix that soon? Thanks.

@agrymoonpeaches @NintendoAmerica Yeah but the problem is that that excuse doesn’t work for ZELDA when it comes to how they handle its representation and it’s anniversaries over things like fire emblem... so why should POKEMON get a better treatment?...

@Shigloo I’d even wait until like 2024 to get a modern Pokémon game that looks as good as Mario odyssey did if it’s a problem with Nintendo not taking the time to create new assets and whatnot

@NintendoAmerica unprofessional in gamefreaks part, i just hope this is not the whole thing and they can add new animation that are not from sword and shield, and maybe fix the graphic a bit, one more thing i hope they don't screw the music because that would just cross the line
