Let's be real. "We thought we can squeeze more money this way from pokemaniacs" is more sincere

@Cyrax77

Some people ( far too many ) feel entitled to not just vote with their wallet, but to vote with other peoples wallets, too.

To quote Gilbert O'Sullivan, "I'll believe it when I see it."

But why do people talk about greed? TPC doesn't own you anything. They do a market studio, they research how much money people would pay for the game and they release it this way. This is a business and gaming is a luxus. Nobody is pointing a gun at you to buy games. You don't die If you don't play a game, don't forget it.

Nintendo and TPC are companies with well paid happy employes and healthy finances. Greed would be having crappy work conditions and overpaid suits.

@LastFootnote

I mean, they managed to produce 2D footage for the trailer.

@Banjo-

When people misuse "anticonsumer" to mean "anything I don't like or that doesn't give me stuff for free", it not only drains the term of meaning but makes it far easier for corporations to push actual anticonsumer stuff past people. 'Those people complaining about a right of repair are probably just whining about price, why should I listen to them?'

So please stop. Just because you don't think its worth the price, does not make something "anticonsumer", because you didn't have a right to an upgrade patch in the first place.

Since Legends, Rayman has been sorely missed.

Given the platformer is one of the key pillars in Ubisofts IP’s and branding (even if they don’t sell as much as your Assassins Creeds), it’s encouraging to know it’s not been forgotten and may be making a comeback.

Whether it’s via remaster, remakes, or new titles… bring it on! 😃

They should rerelease Rayman Raving Rabbids 1 & 2. They were great Party Games, especially the 2nd that amped the goofiness.

So much for Pokemon who evolve through Trading.

It's great they brought it back, but it seems quite limited.

Rayman 2, Rayman 3, Rayman Hoodlums Revenge and Rayman M/Arena/Rush collection.

@1UP-HUSKY

Because, based on past evidence on the Wii and Wii U, there wouldn't be enough demand to make it worth bothering. Since, with rare exceptions, games on Virtual Console sold in minuscule quantities.

I'll never understand you clowns that would rather have games on NSO. "I'd rather subscribe to something and lose it when I stop paying money than have access to it anytime after a one time cost."

Great news, we won't have these games tied to yet another silly rental service.
If you like them, just buy them dammit.

Tune in to early next year, when Ubisoft will say that the 30th anniversary edition underperformed and that because of that, all their Rayman plans are scrapped.

They really should have included a way to switch between the two soundtracks at the start.

Is the second step fixing all the crashing bugs in the 30th anniversary edition?

How is Fever so low? (I know that the answer is just nostalgia, btw)

From what I've seen of it, with all the different characters, rackets, courts, and other options, it's got the most content out of any Mario Tennis game, despite a small story mode. And it's (at least as of right now) all on a physical cartridge as well (which means you will be able to eventually find it for cheaper than its standard price).

I'm going to commit blasphemy and just say it: Fever is the best one.

This was not a great generation. Mudsdale is awesome though.

Holy crap why would they inundate the eshop with separate language versions

Almost four years since ScarVio, a new flagship game pair (fittingly labeled "Gen 10") seems quite likely, but my own wishful thinking continues to gravitate towards anything pinball (from the NSO updates to a brand new entry that might as well house the entire National Dex for the first time in years - get that collectathon going!) and more fancy crossovers like Pokemon Conquest (unless Pokopia's AC/DQB flavours are already filling that slot for now). Mainline remasters/remakes are welcome for legal access and convenience but the franchise's general portability (alongside my Pokebinge already juggling Gold, Moon and Sword) doesn't make them an unbearable itch.

@Trikeboy
"Nintendo puts games on NSO.
People complain about not owning the game.
Nintendo puts the game on the eshop for purchase.
People complain the game isn't on NSO.
Nintendo are damned no matter what they do for these over entitled gamers."

This is such a spectacularly stupid take. There's literally 150 million+ Switch owners, of course they don't all agree on anything!
"Damned no matter what", except they could VERY EASILY put this game on NSO for subscribers AND sell it separately for those who prefer that. Boom, job done, everybody is happy.

And by giving Nintendo our money for NSO we are in fact "entitled" to complain when they screw us over like this.

Oh, gosh...
I still haven't even finished this game, even the Ultra version.
The Gen 7 Pokemon design doesn't look very interesting for me by majority but one Pokemon design that I have interest about is ZERAORA.

Fever is better than Aces in every possible way

I wish you could just play them, rather than having to play to then buy them. This game is so tedious, but these characters look fun. Faster, stronger, just what this game needs.

I'm not a huge fan of Pokemon franchise but I hope for the gen 10 Pokemon game the plot storyline is not the same typical 10 years old kid leaving from Mom's house, meet with Professor, choose 1 from 3 starter Pokemons, have a rival, encounter with team villain, encounter the Legendary Pokemons, catch them, the end. That sounds boring and not a genuine adventure, looked like rehearsal adventure.
I want to see more serious adventure, perhaps started by a stranded survivor young teenager after the disaster strike by Legendary Pokemon, you wake up and surrounded by 3 starter Pokemons, you choose one then you explore the small village that being attacked by team villain. The team villain is really a threat, not a funsies clown and they don't hesitate to harm anybody even your main character.
You meet with professor eventually to find out the cause of the ambush of team villain and strange phenomenon of Pokemon. At the end, the team villain with main antagonist found the Legendary Pokemons and misuse them to destroy the world and no joking. The Legendary Pokemons themself also the sinner of human version that turned into monster. Your main character almost died by the strike but got covered by your friend or starter Pokemon then they died to save you for more dramatic story. The Legendary Pokemons eventually get defeated and turned back into human version, realized their mistake and being controlled by the main antagonist. The main antagonist got defeated by their accident death or get arrested by the police troopers, the ending kinda bittersweet fir losing your friend or your starter Pokemon to protect you from the harm. And the end.
This is the better plot storyline for Pokemon games.

2 and 1 Gameboy colour 💙💙💙 fever should be 10th return it to ebgames in 2 hours got PGA tour 25 it's pretty good

Mario power tennis and aces as number 1

@mlt If the service is retired, it means people stopped using the service on their Switch 1/2. That situation is going to be a very long time from now. If people want to play VB games on a Switch 30 years from now and the service is disabled, people will just download the roms and mod their console.

Fever is objectively better than the two games above it: Mario Tennis Aces and Play Control! Mario Power Tennis. Fever has much more single player content and it has much more content in general.

@thefly0810 - While that would be nice, none of the games are really that spectacular to play in 2D. It’s really just the nostalgia of The Who experience.

It would be remiss to ignore that you can purchase cheap chinese plastic headstrap googles for the Switch 1 (and surely also a few for Switch 2) on Amazon if you want to experience the VB games without paying for either the cardboard or andle the the back pain of the premium model.

@ArthurFan1998 Agreed, but for different reasons. I just value the traditional 8 gym format, yunno?

But people wanted Virtual Console to return do they didn’t have to subscribe to NSO. This is the price of Virtual Console.

I saw some gameplay of Mario Tennis Fever and it actually looked pretty alright. Might pick it up in a couple years when I can track down a used copy and a cheap Switch 2.

@Axecon It would be funny when the hype dies down and the peripheral sales become stagnant if Nintendo all of a sudden releases an update allowing for TV/handheld play without any additional requirements.

Everything about Pokopia is setting off red flags for me. It's a game key card, copying and pasting a game that already exists, and they just admitted it was rushed through development. I have the feeling that the game will be a disaster. But Pokemon fans buy anything so it'll probably work out.

I would swap Power Tennis and Mario Tennis personally

@TripleJump
I’ve been doing the same.
Not so easy to do, but totally possible.

I'm interested in this but as I currently only own a Lite I might take the plunge when I get a Switch 2.
But like others have said this REALLY should be playable in 2D on the TV!
Plus there was a perfectly good machine that could natively run 3D called the 3DS but good ol' Ninty didn't see fit to bring it to that?! Booo!

Valid list.
I would have have the N64 and GBC as #1 & #2

Wow. Charging that much for freaking unchanged GBA games is INSANE. They know you can easily play these old archaic games for free, right? You don't even get rewarded with cool physical collectibles if you buy them, just "screw you, pay us for a ROM." Happy anniversary, suckers.

Let's be honest, if these came to NSO people would still bitch and moan that they're not available for purchase

They announce the next wave of Mega Evolutions for ZA? They just started on Blazikenite so it would make sense they would add more to the game.

Hopefully they allow us to use the events they gave out for it so we can get Lugia, Ho-Oh and such.

the faq doesnt answer anything..
