Man, you're so out of touch.

Man, you're so defensive over something that possibly peaked.

 

[HardRojo]

Apple Watch sales to increase by 500% lol.
I know I'd get one if I played on iOS.

 

[Kid Ying]

The game is dead though.

Lol

Great game and it makes sense to be on Apple watch. Only got an android though

 

[Piers]

Nice snub from the presenter "maybe i'll play this game for more than 20 minutes now"

He's kind of right. It'd be a lot easier to just raise your watch and see what's going on, but also free up things to do with the phone proper. Bummer that the game still can't do minimised activity.

 

[oti]

This is so cool. I really hope there will be an Android Watch version.

 

[AdanVC]

So cool and it's actually more efficient to play it this way.

 

[OricWindstar]

This is the worst news I have heard. Mario Run and pokemon go on the watch....WTH APPLE. I have a android phone why cant we get these thing?

Mario Run is coming first to Apple. It's not an exclusive.

 

[imjust1n]

The game is dead though.

Its not dead AT ALL.

Believe me its farrrr from dead my gf spends like lots of money STILL and she is determined to catch all of them and keep playing so nope not dead. Sorryimnotsorry

 

[Uno Venova]

Man, you're so defensive over something that possibly peaked.

That doesn't make any sense, something peaking in popularity doesn't mean it's not popular enough or too late to get new features.

 

[Jonbo298]

Meanwhile I'm just over here resisting the urge to be salty that it might not come to my Samsung Gear S2

Spoiler

or Android Wear for the other Android folks

.

 

[lt519]

Wow did not expect any of this. Good signs from Nintendo.

 

[russbus64]

Did they say exclusive to Apple?

Here's hoping Android Wear gets a version. There's nothing here that cannot be done on other smart watches.

 

[Snkfanatic]

I wouldn't stress out responding to them. They gotta get that snark out somehow.

 

[Struct09]

This will probably make my wife want an Apple Watch

 

[MuchoMalo]

This is so cool. I really hope there will be an Android Watch version.

Me too. It's all I've ever wanted. I'd buy a more powerful watch if I had to. It sounds like this one is actually exclusive, though. :/

 

[Blackpuppy]

This is the worst news I have heard. Mario Run and pokemon go on the watch....WTH APPLE. I have a android phone why cant we get these thing?

Fractured market share, even if it is dominant, has a lot to do with it.

 

[Jonbo298]

Did they say exclusive to Apple?

I didn't hear him say exclusive or first for Apple Watch. We'll probably have it clarified soon.

 

[imjust1n]

Me too. It's all I've ever wanted. I'd buy a more powerful watch if I had to. It sounds like this one is actually exclusive, though. :/

What is the point in getting a pokemon plus device then? What does the pokemon plus do that the apple watch app not do?

 

[oti]

We'll see. I won't give up my hopes yet lol.

I think you can actually play the game just with the Bluetooth thing by just pressing the button. With the app you still need to take out your phone.

 

[udivision]

Pokemon Go Plus is still a thing... right?

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Thank God I'm done with this game as of yesterday.

 

[Raiden1018]

An Apple Wha-?

I'm sure there are 10s of people out there going crazy.

 

[russbus64]

This is the worst news I have heard. Mario Run and pokemon go on the watch....WTH APPLE. I have a android phone why cant we get these thing?

As an Android user, are you not used to getting screwed over by devs? Mario Run is at least coming "later." Could be a day, week, month later, but later at least.

I didn't pick up on Pokemon Go being exclusive or not.

 

[BlastProcessing]

This is the worst news I have heard. Mario Run and pokemon go on the watch....WTH APPLE. I have a android phone why cant we get these thing?

They said that Mario if coming out first on iPhone, so you will get it eventually. The problem is that Android users don't pay for games. Until that changes, Android will never be the priority.

 

[Kouriozan]

NX's OS is secretly iOS :lol

 

[ChrisMahoney]

This is the worst news I have heard. Mario Run and pokemon go on the watch....WTH APPLE. I have a android phone why cant we get these thing?

This is Nintendo's decision, not Apple's

 

[GulAtiCa]

That is cool. I'd totally get one if I had an iPhone. I hope there is an Android Wear version or something one day. Be really useful for me.

 

[imjust1n]

An Apple Wha-?

I'm sure there are 10s of people out there going crazy.

I went crazy because of all this nintendo news its shocking. and im mad that its on apple watch its not fair for the people who dont like apple products.

 

[JoeM86]

Well there goes my life savings

 

[Divvy]

Wait, so you still have to have the app running, and open on your phone to use it?

What's the point?

 

[jmizzal]

Is this an apple or Nintendo conference

So this is why they havent announced the NX reveal, they had this up their sleeves

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

What is the point in getting a pokemon plus device then? What does the pokemon plus do that the apple watch app not do?

Cost $35 instead of $300.

 

[And_Gignac]

Man, you're so defensive over something that possibly peaked.

That it peaked doesn't mean it's over. Still the biggest app around the world. Some of you are just out of touch or just want to troll.

 

[SoulUnison]

The game is dead though.

Keep telling yourself that, sport.

 

[imjust1n]

Cost $35 instead of $300.

sure price but what is that 35 dollar device going to do? besides look cool

 

[The Broken Ska Record]

Yes! It makes a lot of sense. I'm still getting the Pokémon Go Plus dongle though.

 

[border]

An Apple Wha-?

I'm sure there are 10s of people out there going crazy.

Apple is the #2 watch brand in the world (by revenue), according to their presentation.

 

[ChrisMahoney]

I love my Apple watch and am excited for this :3

 

[plentyofmilhouse]

Time to get an Apple Watch. Much prefer the idea of an app on a watch than wearing the Go Plus accessory around.

 

[Alex_Mexico]

Did they really say 500,000,000 downloads of Pokemon Go or you guys shitting me?

 

[The Real Napsta]

The game is dead though.

Lmao

 

[border]

Did they say when the Watch app is going to be released?

 

[oti]

Did they say when the Watch app is going to be released?

This year I think.

 

[JoeM86]

Did they say when the Watch app is going to be released?

Before the end of the year

 

[Hedgey]

The game is definitely very close to death... I guess it really depends on the area but my friends and I were seriously into the game and now we haven't started the app in a few weeks. I'm happy for those that are still playing the game in a tighter circle but the universal love for the game has died down. The new school year started at my College yesterday, and I couldn't spot anyone playing despite a huge mass of Pokestops.

 

[HardRojo]

Wait, so you still have to have the app running, and open on your phone to use it?

What's the point?

To get you to buy a separate iPhone as a Pokémon Go machine.

Lol, top grossing is certainly very close to death. It's peaked for sure, but they still have enough momentum to remain very successful for a long time.

I believe the last numbers were around 30 million people were still playing it. Though that's way down from the intial huge numbers, that's still not "close to death".

 

[PeakPointMatrix]

lol this GO news is really ruffling your feathers, huh?

Top kek.
