I'm just gonna open it up and stick an SSD in there and install one or two games at a time.

I don't play more than one or two games a year on consoles anyways, I mean I'll only get an Xbox One for Forza 5 if it's good and then there are no other games I want.

I was expecting some big innovation, new graphics, new gameplay and maybe an in depth story this time. I haven't played Pokemon since red&blue, I tried Gold&Silver but they felt like more of the same and bored me and so I thought X&Y was the time to come back. It's still the exact same game, just with nicer graphics, the sounds on everything but Pikachu still suck, the story is still basically non existent and what is there is crap...

When are they ever going to change the series? Just make a full sized Pokemon MMO on the Wii U already, it's what people have wanted for years and years now. I dunno what it is like in Japan but in the western world people don't trade Pokemon in real life, hell I don't even see people playing a 3DS out in public, most people play them at home. It's time to move it all online tbh...

I wish Nintendo would make that move in general because far too many of their games are local multiplayer only. I have Nintendo land on the Wii U that I cannot play because it's all local and tbh being 25, it's a hard sell to get mates to come over to play that :\ Most of the time they stay at their house, I stay at mine and we play online shooters or racers, we don't go to each others houses to play games.... mainly cause their wives moan lol.

It's time for innovation with Pokemon Nintendo, X&Y is the same crap with a new face.

I agree....After playing the PS4 yesterday I have come to the conclusion that next gen games year 1, will only be slightly better than current gen in terms of visuals. ..

Well I am not going to judge next gen by looking at cross gen games like Ghosts, BF4 and AC. KZ looks incredible and a massive step above anything this gen.

Just looks like the Pc in 2007 with Crysis.

For me the lack of analog triggers is the biggest let down

SA because MTA is great

Welcome to 2007 consolers

Yeh I had a Gameboy for Pokemon and that was it lol.

I keep seeing that Mario 64 was the first true 3D platform game, for the consoles at least. However in Europe Tomb Raider was released in 1996 and Mario 64 was released in 1997, so my first experience of a game of this type was Tomb Raider. I just remember being amazed by it and all my friends being amazed, I remember pubs and stuff (my dad dragged me to) had Playstations with it installed and the game was a massive hit at the time. Mario 64 came the next year and it was a big hit because people loved Nintendo, but it never had the same impact as Tomb Raider here... at to me and where I was brought up in the UK.

Nintendo never really had a big impact for me, I had a Sega Megadrive as a kid but I was never truly in love with games back then. 2D graphics never clicked, I remember finding the games rather boring and wanting to play outside instead. It wasn't until the playstation came, that I found games to be amazing and the Playstation had the more mature games. As a kid I wanted to be an adult, the more realistic tones just appealed to me more and I saw the N64 as this crappy kids toy. I went to Disney in Florida as a kid and hated it because it felt like it was for little kids and I felt all adult lol.

Nintendo always had this kid vibe, why I had the Megadrive because it had games like Streets of Rage. Then why I was into the Playstation, it had all these mature games that Nintendo would never allow...

I just see today how big Nintendo are and they've never really appealed to me at all. I see how Mario 64 and Zelda OoT were like so massive and I just feel left out of the loop, that wasn't my experience as a kid. Mine was one of games like Streets of Rage or Stealth Fighter on my Dads Amiga, then it was one of Resident Evil, GTA, Gran Turismo, Tomb Raider and MGS.

This is just something I had to share because it seems like everyone grew up with Nintendo, yet I didn't.

Mario Kart 8 looks amazing, it is like TrackMania.
