2. Pokémon X And Y
Release Date: October TBA A part from being the two chromosomes that create heterogametic species, X and Y is Game Freaks and Nintendos new Pokémon adventure. And, being born in 1991 I was at the perfect age for the original Pokémon wave to drown me in its anime glory. But Nintendo obviously dont understand the meaning of everything good must come to an end because there are almost seven hundred of the buggers rambling about now, each one even worse than the last. Take Chandelure, which is just a bloody chandelier; I know there was Rattata, but I was given to understand that Pokemon were evolved forms of todays animals. So having a chandelier is just ridiculous and, um, pretty tacky nowadays. This Pokémon is no different in the way it has been marketed and Nintendo are almost Pokémon masters at creating excitement and hype about their titles. Theyre the Apple of the gaming world because all their products are the same and theres a worrying amount of white in their designs. Moving on from calling a multinational corporation a bunch of Nazis, the main feature of X n Y is the fact the game is now in a fully rendered 3D environment. This means say a fleeting farewell to the birds eye view I played as a child and welcome a pixelated square mess. Yes, the 3DS is impressive graphically, which is why I dont understand why X n Y looks so damn terrible. Luigi's Mansion 2 looks pretty decent, so I know good graphics can be achieved on the 3DS.
