I have a weird thing with long-running series where I have to play them in order or I struggle to get into them. I therefore hope its Tales of Phantasia so I can finally get into this legendary series.

Great article - had never heard of this Resident Evil comic series, but now am hoping Capcom rerelease it somehow.

I really want them to bring the Wii Shop channel music for the eshop

This seems like we could be getting the game in HD

Could Nintendo Life do a top ten best Japan-only games to buy before this happens please ?

I wonder if the redesign is even Donkey Kong III (modern Donkey Kong) or is actually Donkey Kong JR. It could even be the young version of Cranky Kong (the OG Donkey Kong). I could see it being any of them tbf.

I hope Switch gets the OG versions of 1, 2 and 3 now that they've been rereleased on GOG.

Yesss one of my most-wanted soundtracks - hope we get Wild World and Let's Go to the City next.

Big ups to Alex!

Everyday it feels like we could get a presentation announced for the successor for the following day - so excited.

My second fave series after Zelda - he's a legend, so much respect for him continuing to do what he loves.

I think it's a great way to introduce younger generations to older games. I think for that reason it encourages Square to bring back these old games more than they would without it. Of course I want the OG versions (well the DS version for Chrono Trigger) of Xenogears and Chrono Trigger on Switch as well, but think it's much more likely for them to come in HD-2D form, and that's amazing too.

Also, I think the article understates slightly the evolution of HD-2D. Octopath Traveler I looks very distinct from Dragon Quest 3 Remake in my opinion, and Live a Live does as well - I think they all keep their distinct personalities despite all being HD-2D, so to me there's no danger of them all looking "two similar". It reminds me of how the pixel art of Square and Enix evolved over the SNES generation - each respective company had a style of pixel art they honed and changed over time for different games, despite still being distinctively their own. I want HD-2D to keep going and changing and evolving as it has done since Octopath first got revealed.

NSO has been amazing for me the past two years - played so many games I've wanted to for ages.
I think we will receive at least one or two more games before the year is out - last few months think we've been getting at least 4 a month from what I recall.

I will keep an eye on this as I love the original and John Carpenter versions of the thing. Will look out for a sale.

Think it would be cool if Nintendo worked on a project with Playtonic actually.

Very happy if this is true - never got to play Robobot but heard it's in the top 5 Kirby games ever. Hopefully it's pretty decently priced as well - 35 quid would be the most I'd wanna pay at launch.

Hope if they re-release it, they fix a lot of the problems it had and streamline a bunch of the game.

I'm honestly more interested for Donkey Kong '94 to come NSO first.

I think a mixture of Tate mode if you wanna play in handheld mode, and dominus if on the big screen, then some games cam be recommended to tate mode (maybe in case of very touch heavy games like Spirit Tracks), is the best option. Maybe if they change some games to have movement done with analogue instead of touch (PH and ST). Although that's a lot more work, and I doubt they'd do that last idea for many or any games.

been wanting try this for a while, this has reminded me to pick it up

Can't wait finally try this game, just wish there was a physical as well.

I think some people might be being a bit harsh on the writer of this page. They wanted other improvements on Switch, not the 4k. For myself I wanted 60fps - I have the MGS collection on ps3 and that runs at 720p, 60fps, so the Switch should be able to at least have a mode to do that, even if it can't do 1080p 60fps (which for two decade year old game seems like it could be done as well, honestly).

I'd be most hyped to see Metal Sonic, Amy, Blaze, maybe Mecha Sonic as well. Think Chaos would also be interesting but dunno if that would hit general audiences as hard. Feel like Metal Sonic is super cool even if you've never seen him before.

The best Dracula portrayal ever. Hope this is good, but can't deny I will probably get it even if it's only decent, just to see Lugosi in a game.

Always wanted to try and get into shmups, so this might be the perfect entry place for me.

One of the best RPGs ever. Depending on the day I either place this or XC1 as my fave Xenoblade game.

@sketchturner If you're not as big on story, this will probably be the one that most suits your taste. But all the games have a big emphasis on exploration, so I think you'd probs like them all anyway.

Almost seems like it's better than a 6 .

Imagine if this has all been a build up to reveal Switch 2 in his last video XD

@Banjo- Same saw them earlier this year, it was amazing.

Best controller ever made.

Glad even supposedly lesser gamers, such as Angel of Darkness, are getting preserved. This looks like a great collection but not willing to pay Aspyr full price for anything after I bought Battlefront Collection day 1 (yes I'm that dumb).

This made my day. Nintendo is so iconic for announcing this while everyone is so hyped for Switch 2. Hope the orders come to the UK soon, as I do really wanna own one even as a piece of gaming history.

Hope it does well and they add a million more sounds tbf.

I played Resi 4, 5 and 6 back to back for the first time so by the time I got to 6 it was a nice change of pace and I really enjoyed the story, despite it being seen as fan-servicey in places.

He always seemed so genuine whenever I saw him talking about the Mario + Rabbids games. Love to see that level of passion and am very excited for his next work.

Really hope we get Danny DeVito as Wario. He was literally made for that role.

@Lizuka I think we might get more drops soon if Switch 2 releases alongside GCN, maybe DS NSO. Feels like they might be holding off a bit in comparison to last year and first half of this year, as if waiting for something like that, although I think we've got some sick drops lately, despite being a little more spaced out.

Will definitely get this when the definitive edition releases. Hope we get more DLC in the future, and as other people have said more Lynx and Jaguar games.

Been interested in the Atelier series for a while so this is a great excuse jump in for me (after EOW).

This is what I love NSO for. Adding the stuff we'd never thought we'd see again. Battletoads Double Dragon today was a great example of it. Mario Paint would be a massive heavy-hitter in this catergory.

Hope this leads to a new studio!

What about Koridai and Gamelon

I loved Kingdom and Agents on the Wii as a kid so would love to try the original if it's a good port and reasonably priced.

Hopefully this is a sign that the Switch 2 will feature Miis more prominently.

This is great news, never expected this game at all.

I would have bought if it it was a collection, but buying each separately at launch seems a bit of a faff. Will probs wait for a sale when they all out.

After buying the Battlefront Collection, I won't be giving Aspyr anymore of my money any time soon.

Really hope he joins Nintendo, maybe works on some Mario RPGs in house.

Is this worth getting on Switch? I keep wondering whether to get it or wait and see if it gets a port on Switch 2.

Would love a port of this. Dunno if it could be made to work by somehow looking at the weather reports for the area in that day.
