            have you seen any of their pokemon releases the past years? its actually embarassing how bad the games are in terms of quality and polish, for a game that is the biggest IP in the world.

              Nintendo has not developed those. Blame gamefreak.

              Check out the new pokemon snap which isn’t that dev. It is legit a 9/10 game. I play it a ton.

                they do own the pokemon IP though, so even though they dont develop the game, i’d argue its still their fault if the game turns out ass. its time they put some stress on gamefreak to do better.

                  Oh yeah fuck nintendo for real. But as long as they keep making quality games I’ll keep coming back, unfortunately

        It’s already happening on other platforms. Doom dark ages only has something like 28 megabytes on the disc.

            AFAIK, most PS3 (and even PS4) / Xbox 360 games will play and function with just the disc, an internet connection will just let them download updates to the game.

            It was PS5 and Xbox One where the discs became glorified physical download codes, and did not actually contain the entire game.
