I doubt it, it looks like it'll just make nuke Pokémon instead of nuke moves. The biggest issue I have with Z-Moves is that any Pokémon can use them. This means the most sensible choice to use Z-Moves were the Pokémon that were already top-tier. Dynamax is essentially Z-Moves that aren't limited to one typing and lasts three turns. So would anyone decide that a Pokémon like Kecleon would be the best choice? No, of course not. Kecleon is awful in battles. Why choose Kecleon when you can Dynamax a Garchomp and steamroll the competition? Because any old Pokémon can do it, the top-tier ones get even further overpowered while the more ignored Pokémon get left behind even more.

So, going by the above trailer, it's basically a lamer version of Mega Evolution that can be used on every Pokémon? Eh... Gonna go get more info from Serebii. EDIT: OK, so it lasts 3 turns, so it's a longer version of Z-Moves then? That's even lamer. Drednaw is awesome though and I want one! That's 2 of my playthrough team sorted. (Still on the fence about Grookey) No-one tell him that would make him the nasty rival in this game.

Anyway, won't be able to watch the Direct today. You know what they say, life finds a way... to stop me watching Directs.

Whole bunch of fuddy duddys in this thread. You guys need to lighten up. Devolver's shtick is taking a cynical look at gaming today and it's funny because it's kinda true. Massively over exaggerated, but true. Anyway, that's the conference I'm most looking forward to checking a look at.

Sorry about that @BowserBasher. The results from Thursday will have to wait until this Thursday. As well as the next theme night.

30 games nominated, 19 of which got 2 or more nominations and make up the following shortlist. Forgive the formatting, this is being done from my phone. The titles may not be the exact official ones as well. But I'm sure you can recognise them. So once again, I want you to vote for three games and send them to me via Private Message. Make sure you state which one is your favourite and so on. And feel free to give reasons for your choices. Voting closes on the 8th of June.

That one match has really soured you on Pichu, huh?

Debora is the mouthy one who criticises you at every opportunity, isn't she? Yeah, I chose her. She was a constant source of comedy, so that was the correct choice.

You guys are lucky that I can't get the shortlist up until tomorrow. Been way too busy. But yeah, tomorrow will be the shortlist. Thanks for your patience.

Ooooh, fun! I don't have quite enough time to think of 5, so I'll have to get back to this once I do. But I've got one already. Banjo is revealed for Smash DLC - Why do you hate the 90's @Ronnie? Why? You need to embrace British Bears with silly voices into your life. I don't think he'll be the 2nd character (A lot of signs point to a certain other character for that), so I'm not gonna be specific. He's the only character to ever pull off shorts without looking like a tool, he has a shark tooth necklace which obviously means he's punched a shark so hard, it's teeth fell out. And you have him to thank for a certain part in Mario Odyssey. Mario's a hack. Banjo's been doing it 17 years before it was cool. And he doesn't have some rubbish time limit set on it. Oh, and he also brings some female representation in the form of Kazooie. Steve blows, Banjo's the Microsoft character that should have really been in Smash since Brawl.

Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons It's a N-Europe review by some bloke who doesn't even have a brother!

Midgar is easily my least favourite part of FF7, it lasts way too long. But it's still a solid RPG.

I love that post-game shout! It reads so dumb and even works well as a sarcastic thing for when I lose. "You're amazing!" is one that sounds incredibly sarcastic whenever the person who said it actually won. @Dcubed is a fan of doing that.

Today is the last day for nominations. I'm gonna remind @Gadwin that he needs to replace Breath of Fire II with something else.

Character balance changes are detailed here. Captain Falcon, Diddy Kong, Lucario, Little Mac, Bowser Jr, Ryu, Ken and Bayonetta got some significant buffs. Meanwhile, Peach, Daisy, Olimar and Pichu got nerfed the hardest. Especially Olimar and Pichu, it's actually easier to hit them now. And Pichu takes more damage when it uses electric moves. Oh, and Shulk got a couple of small buffs. Which makes me happy. Greninja got completely ignored, which is a win for Greninja.

Yeah, on the character select screen, make sure you're using the name you've assigned your custom controls to.

Guys, you have to wait until everyone is either in The Ring or in the Waiting Area. Otherwise, we can't watch your matches and laugh at you.

That's certainly an interesting stage.

Yep, Time matches tonight. 9:30.

A future update is going to include a couple of features.

Yes, it is. The real question though is... I think that's, like, a third into the game. Whoever gave Andy that job needed to be fired.

I'm not sure the title "Doom" is the most optimistic game to get people interested in E3. Kinda looks like it's giving a prediction on how screwed we all are. It's not just Nintendo now, everyone is doomed!

Yes, it is. Nice catch. Sorry @Gadwin You need to replace that too.

No, you certainly are not. Mario Advance is a remake and compilation title, you have to replace it with something else
