Nintendo Switch – OLED Model Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Limited Edition

Product Information

What do you think of this new Pokémon themed Switch OLED? Grab your starter Pokémon and let us know in the comments! The story was really bad while also interrupting you every 5 seconds and the routes outside the wild area were uninteresting corridors. It also suffered from the now classic 3D animation GameFreak issues, including the moving characters 180 degrees with no animation at all an really stiff battle animations. All while saying that those animations were the reason not all Pokemon were in the game. Saying people didn't have valid issues with SWSH and it was just Dexit is just lieing. It's high time that Nintendo steps in and starts shaking up Game freak real good! As Game Freak just keeps on riding the Pokemon IP alone doing all the sales for them, instead of putting some "real" effort in their games.

SV is worse in that regard but that's because 3 years later it has the same issues plus more while Arceus already fixed some of them the very same year it came out. Is level scaling the best modern developers can come up with to compensate for what the player might do? I mean, level scaling is a critical flaw of open world games so maybe the genre is to blame. After playing a game like Xenoblade Chronicles 3 recently, there is literally no excuse for Game Freak to deliver a game in such a poor state.When you’re inside buildings and in battles, the game can look pretty good. You can see streaks of hair in characters, the stitches and threads in your clothes, and even the shiny slippery-ness of Wiglett and the texture of a Mareep’s wool. In battles, characters and Pokémon look relatively crisp and clean for the most part, and they all burst with personality through their stances and interactions – though many battle animations are still incredibly stiff and look like an afterthought. Pokémon models sometimes disappear in thin air, or appear and drop from above you too. There are times Scarlet & Violet almost look like a real step forward visually for Pokémon, but it then loses itself in a mire of pixelated textures and technical issues, especially if it’s raining or snowing. These games CANNOT be worse than DP/SP, so that's a start. I'm really hoping these games are as good as Sw/Sh. Since, I really enjoyed them. Hearing that most of the jank is in the overworld makes me sad, I really hope it doesn't take me out of the game too much. This game definitely needs some DLC to add more variation and interesting zones to the game world. Most importantly adding the missing Postgame content! Level scaling is a crutch that open world games lean on because...how else would it work? Doesn't make level scaling anything other than terrible.

No. Unlike the Animal Crossing version in the UK, the Nintendo Switch OLED Pokémon Scarlet and Violet Edition does not come with either game included. If this is the result of the Open World feature, then I rather wish they hadn't gone this route. I mean... Legend Arceus was also pretty bland and boring with its environments. The screen and audio improvements also translate into a higher price tag. For those looking for an inexpensive portable console to play sporadically, Nintendo Switch Lite remains the best choice. Those who spend a lot of time in the company of their video games, on the other hand, should take advantage of a model finally equipped with a rear stand that replaces the old stand and transforms the device into a table console. Much like the supports mounted on tablets, the new rigid stand ensures the console remains in place even during particularly lively gaming sessions. Ergonomic and Versatile I'm sad it just feels like the game could have used another year in development to shine. There are plenty of Switch games that are beautiful and run fine on the hardware. It's not a bad game, but it could have been a GREAT game if they'd just spent some more time on optimization and landscape and depth. I'm not far enough in to comment on story. I like all the Pokemon and Character designs, and Pokemon as a franchise proves the basic gameplay is solid. Of the three paths, ‘Victory Road’ will be the most familiar to veteran Pokémon Trainers. Collecting eight gym badges is pretty much the Pokémon rite-of-passage, and it’s mostly the same here, except instead of making your way through a gym puzzle, you’ll need to participate in a Gym Trial before taking on the leader. These can range from rolling an oversized olive around a maze to taking part in a stream and battling Pokémon trainers, and it helps change up the formula a tiny bit, and we found most of them pretty fun.

We will be back open as soon as possible

The mechanics themselves are everything I wanted in a pokemon game so I am excited to try them out. The new dex also looks great from what I have seen. From this point on, I am really interested in the remake situation, I assume we are going to get B/W then B2/W2 but it's about time we had a johto remake. The OLED version of Nintendo Switch has no big news inside. The technical characteristics seem to be the same as the past model, starting from the nVidia Tegra X1 processor. The only real change concerns the increase in internal memory, which raises from 32 GB to 64 GB. Even the battery does not bring about improvements. According to Nintendo the battery guarantees a gaming experience that goes from 4.5 to 9 hours. The Joy-Con have remained exactly the same, and sadly there is no support for Bluetooth headphones. Price in Line With the Market Until then I stay clear from Scarlet/Violet until I see a clear roadmap, first patches and if/when they going to add DLC content (and what it will contain). Can't understand why TPC couldn't fix the biggest issues, Switch hardware maybe part of it, but when Breath of The Wild runs fine, I can't see why they couldn't find a way to fix it. Maybe there is hope a patch of some kind can improve on it, even if it's not the day one patch, but who knows. People can say a lot about Sword&Shield, but that game looks way way better than Scarlet&Violet, with much nicer and more diverse environments.
