So after a disappointing Nintendo Direct and a disappointing Playstation State of Play, GameFreaks and The Pokémon Company came with banger announcements. And I might not even be into Pokémon personally, only having played Red back in the old GB days, I gotta admit this is how you show new stuff and launch kickass announcement trailers.
Get the latest from the Lental region! #NewPokemonSnap
First up, is some more news/look into the New Pokemon Snap. I gotta say, I like the look of this smaller-scale simple non-violent take on a rail shooter game. The original N64 was pretty good, for a more chill experience.
Then the announcement of the usual remake/update games, this time it's the turn of Diamond and Pearl to get the "Link's Awakening" treatment.
Return to the Sinnoh region in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Pokémon Shining Pearl!:
And finally a brand new game - already! Not that long after Sword and Shield, and in fact it will be coming along right after the Pearl and Diamond remakes.
Pokémon Legends Arceus: A familiar region. A new story.
Wow! It's sort of an actual improvement/reimagining of the formula, like fans had been asking for ages! It seems to take some cues from Zelda Breath of the Wild (and Bowser's Fury), with a proper sandbox world to explore and a more free system to roam around the world. So more emphasis on capturing wild Pokémon rather than cups and championships and facing enemies with Pokémons.
It actually does look... interesting. I like how this one seems to take after classic Japan imagery, after the American/French/Britain-inspired games.
