Pokémon Legends Arceus has leaked online 9 days prior to the January 28th release date.

We have received reports of an XCI around 7.4GB in size appearing in certain places online. Initial testing appears the title does not boot on the Yuzu Nintendo Switch emulator.

Further details to follow.

Looking at some of the leaked Pokémon Hisuian forms.. I thought some of them didn't look that good at first, good to hear that the in-game models are better than those still models.

 

[Noctosphere]

So I tested on both yuzu and ryujinx
And... on ryujinx, there are lot of missing models
Right after the intro with Arceus, I saw a blue-shaded screen
Then... nothing...
Several seconds later, many yellow light started moving around

However, on Yuzu, during that blue-shaded screen, we can see Dawn/Lucas falling in the sky, trying to catch their Arcphone

There are a lot of graphics glitches during that scene, but at least, I see my freacking character

Cancelled my pre-order for this to put it on Kirby Forgotten Land instead. Time to find out if I made the right choice.

Oh nice a free demo

Edit:
Strong first impressions, let's see if this will get overshadowed by bdsp sales wise.

 

[fvig2001]

No wonder that site is down.
edit.

It's up again

 

[Valwinz]

it did leak and all the stuff people say were true less pkm than freaking pkm gold we really are going backwards

Stores break release date.

Right, I forgot about physical distribution. Of course I'd forget, it's only a very significant factor.

Played it for the last two hours. Gotta say it looks as bad as you would expect from a GF game. That being said, the gameplay is still enjoyable. It's just kind of a letdown that there are now obedience checks for Pokémon you caught yourself (normally those only apply to traded Pokémon). But that's probably still better than being overleveled early on.

When it comes to difficulty, I liked the game so far. It's not exactly a Souls game, but rather challenging nontheless, especially compared to other recent Pokémon games.

 

[itchigo]

LOL thank you.

Hope soon for resolution and graphics mod

It's Pokémon go just on switch but with a hub is all nothing to see move along.

Dang Nintendo, there's someone you need to fire. This is getting embarrassing.

 

[Ralkila]

Good i hope this game does bad and game freaks either gives the license to a new developer or retire the franchise, new kiddos are insufferable trying to defend this joke of modern pokemon on the switch (with the slight exception of snap2)

 

[Kunty]

Ngl I kinda like the game. If they could implement some of the gameplay mechanics into the next gen then it'd be pretty perfect.

I respect this

Dang Nintendo, there's someone you need to fire. This is getting embarrassing.

It's most likely not internal to Nintendo, there's always small shops to break street date. Back when I lived in Paris there were a few goto places for that. In fact it was barely a secret.

It could use more trainer battles of course, but the game isn't half bad so far. Having no unnecessary transition to wild Pokemon fights in the overworld is nice, so is being able to move the trainer around to get a different angle during those fights. I don't love how repetitive some of the research tasks are, but you can catch 5 of the same Pokemon in like a minute flat so it's mostly fine. Genuinely shocked at how short load times are for this game too.

Lol and nothing of value was lost

no offense but your avatar suggests you're the least credible person to judge the value of something.

I talked to one furry guy the other day. He was claiming that his childish drawings of animal-like people pissing are "art", and that he is under the "LGBT umbrella".

What is wrong with you people? Did you get hit on the head the wrong way?

I'm not personally interested in the pirate copy of this game but at the same time I've no sympathy for N at all. They constantly shut down home brew's and other type sites and fleece loyal collectors for every penny with special editions and fixed high prices.

Zero sympathy.

who do you have sympathy for, though? "Sony bad because they censor", "Nintendo bad because they I don't even fucking know".

Corporations are the reason why you're able to enjoy these things. And you don't seem to be enjoying anything. Maybe time for another hobby?
