So Beast of Reincarnation, looks great, was shown for Xbox. So I was curious, why would Gamefreak make such a game for Xbox only? Well as I googled it is not Xbox only but also on PS5 and PC.

So I was like wait...why isn't Switch 2 mentioned? And everywhere is saying PS5, PC and Xbox. Maybe Switch 2 can't handle it? Idk but that isn't the more important part.

The more important part is if it doesn't come to Switch 2, why? Why did Gamefreak who is a huge Nintendo partner who shares revenue of the biggest IP in the world do this?
Seems like a huge betrayal.

Game Freak has always been a 3rd party developer, they've released several games not on Nintendo systems.

Most non-Pokemon games by Game Freak are released on non-Nintendo platforms. Honestly I sometimes get the feeling they don't even like working with Nintendo and only do so because Pokemon is so lucrative.

and click medic which doesn't even have an article but came out before pokemon

these two also look like like shovelware

like this Beast of Reincarnation looks like something that could have been a great Nintendo exclusive not a shovelware game
And there are *very* noticeable performance dips in the trailer, it might cook the NS2.

what did they make of note that is not a nintendo game? I just looked at the list and these words don't seem to align
people forgot that gamefreak makes games that aren't pokemon sometimes.

also the game looks fantastic I'm excited to see what it's all about

"why not nintendo exclusive?" why are you arguing *for* exclusives? More audience able to play a game = better.
Why not go all in?

Who cares if it's of note, they're just not a first party developer for Nintendo. They just happen to make Pokemon

This not being on Switch 2 isn't some kind of betrayal; it's just not on Switch 2. It's not that deep and it seems like you're trying to invent drama where there is none.

This tells me Pokemon is ass because they want it to be and we'll buy it regardless.

Pulseman as well. It came out before Pokemon and was exclusively on the Sega Mega Drive, though it was later re-released on Wii through VS and Switch through NSO. That doesn't make it a Nintendo game any more than it would make Sonic the Hedgehog a Nintendo game.

It ain't a Gamefreak game without FPS drops, but at least it makes sense here as opposed to Pokemon Scarlet and Violet which barely functioned.

Just waiting for Boundary Break to crack open the games code and see how shoddily its all put together much like the UI and HUD elements in Scarlet and Violet.

Frame drops when a game looks as good as this new game are acceptable. Not ideal, but acceptable. Frame drops when a game looks as shit as Scarlet/Violet did is completely inexcusable. Games that were originally made years earlier (both 1st-party like BotW or Mario Odyssey and 3rd-party like Skyrim or Witcher 3) look better and run better using the same hardware. S/V is unbelievable, inexcusably bad by comparison.

Game Freak is third party and can and have released games on whatever platform they want, including not releasing on Nintendo's current console.

Their only connection to Nintendo is Pokemon, which they jointly own. Other than that, Game Freak does whatever they want.

That was after Pokemon, actually. Pokemon came out in 1996, and Click Medic was 1999.

Mendel Palace
Pulseman
Click Medic
Drill Dozer
Pocket Card Jockey
HarmoKnight
Tembo the Badass Elephant

As for me, I've played Pulseman, Drill Dozer, and HarmoKnight. All of them were alright.

The issues with modern Pokemon don't come from the Nintendo side which have games like XB, Mario Odyssey, and Smash Ultimate.

indeed the rushed dev cycles the over monitization ect

gamefreak is very much apart of that as they own 1/3 of pokemon

Yeah, I thought they had become 2nd party, too. I know of Pulseman, which was an exclusive for the Sega Genesis. But I thought after Pokmon, they became 2nd party.

2nd party does not exist

the terms 3rd party and 1st party are legal terms

2nd party is not an actual thing

Then it's a good thing we're not having a legal discussion, rather a colloquial one

Second-party developer is a colloquial term often used by gaming enthusiasts and media to describe game studios that take development contracts from platform holders and develop games exclusive to that platform, i.e. a non-owned developer making games for a first-party company.[8]

Keep forgetting Gamefreak is allowed to make non-Nintendo games lol.

I always treated them like a 2nd-party dev but nope, they are a 3rd-party one.

I love how a couple of entries down the list you have a random pokemon game, and then a couple later you have another random pokemon game, and then like a dozen later you have a random not-pokemon game, lol.

Or how he insists his clickbait topic of "Hakeem agrees with Musk" wasn't clickbait because Hakeem literally says "I agree with Musk" even though he leaves out the context of it being the BBB.
