I got Pokemon Scarlet for Christmas and have been playing through it. I've beaten 2 gyms, 2 titans, and I'm about to attack my first team star base. I'm glad they finally made a 3D Pokemon game with a huge open world, with free-roaming Pokemon. This is the style I've been wanting for a long time.
Was Arceus not that?

I haven't played it yet, but my understanding is that it's open world with free roaming Pokemon, but doesn't have (or has very little) trainer/gym battles. Also, it doesn't have the traditional catch method where you battle the Pokemon and then catch it, you just throw Pokeballs. So it had some of what I was hoping for, but Scarlet/Violet has it all.

Arceus wasn't really open world either. It was segmented, like Witcher 3 and the Xenoblade games. The areas weren't nearly as large as in those games.

I read a story about it that said it was a pitch document from Retro Studios that Nintendo dismissed outright and that's as far as it ever got.
Personally, I wouldn't consider a pitch from an excited dev (even one who is affiliated with Nintendo) to be a "lost" game.
Otherwise all those fangames that get shut down should be considered that too.

yeah, i actually watched this when the video was originally posted. its getting a ton of traction now because N fought them to take it down, but the channel won (incredibly rare).
sounds like it could have been a really cool idea if executed, but i'm sure that happens on a monthly basis at most devs lol

The same story I read mentioned that they appealed the DMCA notice, and Nintendo just hadn't respond after two weeks, so it was automatically reinstated.
If N wants to take further action they still can, though there doesn't seem to be much of a reason based on the fact that this never got past the pitch stage.

I hope it puts Three Houses to shame. I found Three Houses to be a bit boring, great combat as always, but boring. Really didn't like the huge main base hub either.

Agreed. I wonder how much was lost in translation in the pitch document, and how much N already had planned for Retro (much to their dismay). Sounds like the latter.
Hearing they were burnt out during MP2 is not surprising to me. That game completely failed to grab me. After trying to get into it multiple times, burned me out on the series as a consumer. I bought MP3, but dropped it after only an hour or so and never went back.
I'm hoping 4 will be great whenever it drops, but after the success of Dread I have a feeling they are shifting development more towards that direction and further away from the exploration the series was known for. One possible explanation for seeing nothing to date.

I just picked up the following games on sale on the eShop:
Cathedral
Dead Cells: The Queen and the Sea DLC
Rogue Legacy
Considering Getsu Fūma Den: Undying Moon as well but might wait until it’s even cheaper down the road.

Today I learned that MyNintendo coins expire
Although there's nothing currently in the rewards that I really want, it's a waste to let the coins go to waste. Oh well. Something to keep in mind for next time. On a side note, imo, the Club Nintendo rewards in the past were much better than the rewards offered now. Gold Nunchuks? Figurines? Way better.

I learned the gold ones expired last month. Was saving them in case I ever wanted a digital game that was over $20 since I won't spend cash outright. Then got an email showing I had gold ones expiring. I miss club nintendo.

I guess they are cycling in previous icons you can buy with platinum coins. I just bought all the n64 ones. Can someone please let me know when the NES ones get cycled back in. I want those punch-out ones.

I always set a reminder on my calendar for when my Platinum coins expire....then I spend a bunch on the MyNintendo physical rewards and jsut pay the $6.99 shipping. I usually spend 2000+ coins at a time which then buys me 3 months before the next round of expiring coins.
I always spend my Gold coins on the next digitial purchase. Since I rarely buy a full price $59.99 game on the eShop, I never worry about them expiring.

MyNintendo did have free shipping for quite a while before starting to charge $6.99 if the order was under $50.

Mario and Rabbids Spark of Hope is honesty pissing me off. Enemies respawning is really annoying. Too much RNG going on here.

I literally just opened the button set the other day. My lady needed some buttons and that’s an item that has stayed at its value. But dang those buttons are a pain. Luke the back is made for storage but I feel like I’m going to stab myself trying to ion it
