@-wc- You don't intend to buy this remake for a console you don't own, and have no intentions of owning in the future, because it doesn't have a Master Quest version included. I'm sure you could purchase the Master Quest version for your GameCube or play an emulated version on your Steamdeck if you were really that bothered about playing it.

@-wc- How are you going to guarantee that there were people out there when it was released saying the Psycho remake was better than the original without providing corroborative evidence?
Not something I can bother to look up but I would be very surprised if there are any reviews from the time that are still available that state that, other than that what are you basing your guarantee on?
Remember, words matter.

@TensuraFan7 it really isn't. I go to this website because it is about something that I like. I have no issue with someone having a different opinion to mine but someone droning on with the same old things they don't like over and over on a Nintendocentric website when they've stated they don't like the Nintendocentric website or anything Nintendo have put out in about half a decade annoys me.

@CANOEberry Cheers.

@CANOEberry @TensuraFan7 Nintendo consoles and games are just products to entertain us rather than essentials like water, food, utilities etc. If you don't like that product why not just move on and find an alternative or do something more productive about it than whinging about the things you don't like on a website that is all about the company/products that you haven't liked for years?

@-wc- Could you elaborate on the parameters of your moral code regarding older games? I agree that getting Witcher 3 remastered for nothing through perfectly legal means is something I would feel uncomfortable with but according to you there is a free flowing stream of ROMs which we could all dip into rather than paying the price the publisher chooses to charge for them.

One person's constructive criticism is another person's irritating nitpicky whinging.

@-wc- Presumably you don't consider stamp collecting to be a hobby then?

@-wc- You could also make better use of people's time by moving to a different website that is catered towards something you enjoy.
As far as I can gather you've not really liked anything Nintendo have released in about the last five years, you don't see yourself ever buying a Nintendo product ever again and you don't like the writing style or editorial tone of this website.
Why do you keep coming back if it's not for trolling or engagement seeking?

I hope they've done this just to flex against that ridiculous Zelda video the White House released.

@-wc- What makes you think Nintendo lack confidence in their product by doing this? Once again WC manages to find a cloud in any silver lining.

@IronMan30 Same with me, despite any online discourse about the merits of Mario Kart World I've moved over to it and largely think it is great.
I quite enjoyed dipping back into MK8Deluxe though, still an absolutely fantastic game, a few races were enough to readjust to the mechanics of it.

@-wc- After all is two words and as you like to frequently blather on about it, words matter.

From (no pun intended) what I've read about Fromsoft games they don't sound like my cup of tea, I had the reflexes and patience to persevere with punishingly difficult games in the SNES era but they are sadly lacking now.

It really is a fantastic soundtrack. I think all of the mainline Mario games had great soundtracks from 8 bit to N64 era but the GameCube onwards really gave them an opportunity to let rip.

@-wc- Do you think Nintendo made those games originally as some sort of charitable endeavour?
I'm sure you're aware that F Zero, Metroid etc would have been released in the hope they would make money. Once they became a franchise then if they're not performing as well others in the Nintendo stable then it's not particularly surprising that they've dropped down the pecking order.
Having said that they've released Metroid Dread and F-Zero 99, both of which seem to have been well received by fans of those series of games but you don't like either of them.
In the words of Chas and Dave, there ain't no pleasing you.

@Shiryu Konami were absolutely on fire at that time, we missed out on loads of them in the West as well. Their soundtracks during the 16 bit era were almost always absolute masterclasses.
Anyway, nice review, thanks.

@Shiryu The Parodius game with the overly enthusiastic commentator shouting things at you gets a 10 from me. Mainly because I find it funny but it is a cracking game.

I wasn't that excited when I first heard about the Starfox 64 remake, I think the original is a classic and still perfectly playable today, everyone should give it a go if they can.
Played the demo of the remake and bought the game on the basis of that and it is superb, I would definitely recommend it.
In this case I think a straight remake but with a modern coat of paint was the right way to go but I hope they are more adventurous with the OoT remake.

I hope they get added to NSO at some point, they look quite interesting.

I normally have a quick scan read of the charts from whichever region but I can't say particularly look at the numbers, however I'm pleased to see the Goemon collection at number 2.

Would I buy an expensive set of DK bongos if they were released along with adding the games to the GC app? Probably. 😂

@WaveBoy Goemon collection is already out, it released last Thursday. Sadly I can't see it being localised, probably wouldn't be considered worth the effort for the return they would expect to make on it. I bought 6000 yen worth of Japanese e-shop credit from Play Asia and downloaded it, it's fantastic. Some of the games are full RPGs so pretty much unplayable for me due to the amount of text but most are easy enough to muddle through. The music player is great and the instruction manuals are fun to have a look through, I would definitely recommend it.

Goemon collection, it's marvellous.

@-wc- You are an absolute bell end.

@Anti-Matter Have you ever used an N64 controller? It is quite intuitive and works fantastically for the games designed to be played with it.
I understand why controller design evolved and prefer the current standard design but the N64 controller was absolutely superb at the time.

@-wc- This comment sums up your utter lack of taste and class.

@-wc- I believe there was a bit of a surge in sales before the price increase and then after the price went up sales have dropped off a bit, presume you have also read that?
What surprises you about it being described as understandable?

@Mgalens 😂😂

@-wc- You should boycott this site again for besmirching the Steamdeck.

@Anti-Matter Is now the time to jump on the Switch 2 bandwagon?

I hope it's on GKC.

@KociolekDoSyta
Yes it does, perhaps you just don't understand it.

@KociolekDoSyta
"A man may break a word with you, sir, and words are but wind
Ay, and break it in your face, so he break it not behind."
If fart gags were good enough for one one of the greatest writers of all time then I don't really begrudge the makers of Tomodachi Life including them in the game.

@-wc- You'll have my full support if you choose to boycott the site to show solidarity with Spider Kev.

@Spider-Kev Fair enough, each to their own.

@Kilroy It's probably not, just seems a bit weird to me.

@Kilroy The posters that are likely to be absolutely everywhere when you walk into the cinema?
I'm genuinely interested in how you avoid looking at them, do you just look at the floor until you get past the foyer, escalators etc.?

@Spider-Kev Do you normally walk into the cinema wearing blinkers just in case the official posters give something away?

@Bunkerneath If you press select when you're in the game you can re-map the controls on the c stick/right joystick so that up is down and vice versa. It's not a perfect solution but I definitely preferred it to the default controls.

@progx Apparently a passionate ex Nintendo fan but the tedious, repetitive, condescending comments and overuse of emojis don't take long to start grating. I'm not surprised you hit the ignore button.

Galactic Pinball is weirdly addictive.

@The_Nintendo_Expat Why do people take an instant dislike to The Nintendo Expat?
It saves time.

@The_Nintendo_Expat I agree that games included in a subscription are not free but I suspect most people, myself included, don't want to bother typing 'included at no additional cost within a subscription that I already pay for' in a comments section because it's far too long-winded.

@Damo I would have completely agreed with you in 2009 about the VB never being revived and here we are today. 😄

@Krisi I'm only going based on the 4 main Super Famicom games and the first N64 game because they are the only ones I've played but you are absolutely right about the soundtracks, all of them are superb.
If I had to pick a favourite it would probably be the 4th Super Famicom game, I particularly like the track that starts off like Machine Gun by the Commodores.
Having said that I don't think I ever got bored of the Impact song or Gorgeous My Stage on N64.

@Lizuka Gutted that we're unlikely to see a Western release of the Goemon collection as I don't think Konami will think it's worth doing full translations. Will have to see if I can get an imported physical copy when it's released.

@The_Nintendo_Expat Who are you saying has suggested this is a humanitarian endeavour?
Furukawa was asked a question at a financials meeting to which he has responded in what seems like an honest way, he doesn't appear to be saying it's some act of benevolence.
If it's the headline writer you're aiming the comment at then I would also say it's not inaccurate if specifically referring to Nintendo financials.

@weisske Is there a reason that you've completely ignored the rest of @metaphysician's comment and just restated your original, incorrect, comment about 2015 hardware?
