So the obvious ones are Xillia 2, Symphonia 2, as these already had versions on PS3. But these are my least favourites.
Give me some classics, or ones that never came out in the west!

I thought the switch version had episode eigis included? So the FES content is basically there now right?

I would love to play this game properly - it would go so well for a HD2D remake - hopefully the success of a niche game like Liva-a-Live will make them consider it!

I am finding this too difficult.
Hollow knight was difficult - but there was way more exploration, leading to ways to get stronger. The bosses were never the but I enjoyed, but the exploration.
Here I'm finding my path blocked constantly by rock hard bosses and there's no way to get more powerful/stronger without fighting a different one... It does fit with the character being more of a fighter though!

I always wanted to play this. Here's hoping for a translation and global release!

For me I like it so far, but the balance of the power ups is off.
In one race you can get 4 blue shells, and even in 100cc that can take you back 10 spots suddenly and you don't get power ups that help you recover.
There seems to be a lot of new power ups I just haven't seen yet as well.

It reminds me of the Wii mario kart - there were far too many power ups that hit the leader and it make it too frustrating.

Right now MK8 is still the best and most balanced.

Yesssss!
Shut up and take my money!

I was fully expecting these to be part of the showcase... I was even predicting a teaser for 9...
But i was wrong 😭

Still annoyed I never received an invite.
I fit all the criteria and it never came through. I don't mind setting it up this way but make sure it works properly!

What I would really like - is gradual accessibility to all the old games - so virtual console style, give me the GB originals, the GBA originals and remakes, DS games etc.
But with the ability to transfer between like they did on the GB virtual console 3ds releases.

Give us the ability to play the entire catalogue on one console

For me it's accessibility of the older games.
I would love Phantasia, Destine and Eternia especially. Then move onto the PS2 games.

Xillia I also think should be posted, but wouldn't excite me that much because I played them relatively recently - that said Xillia 1 is one of my favourites in the series

Agree with the above. Give us access, both for games trapped on old consoles and also ones still in Japanese only.
I'd love for them to do collection also

Yeah website breaks when I try to login

@Serpenterror ah yeah ok. I didn't count Christmas Nights as a full game. It's more than a demo, not quite a game.
In the PS3/360 releases it was part of the package

@Serpenterror yessss to all of these. But are you wishfully thinking a threequel with a Night's trilogy? 😅

But seriously - sega need to look at Capcom and Konami - just port the shirt out of everything and stop ignoring the Saturn generation please!

So many
The Sonic games.
The dragon quest remakes & monsters games
Dragon Quest Rocket Slime (throw in the GBA game for good luck)
The Mario games
Shin Megami Tensei 4
Okamiden

And others that escape me...

Would love to see them somehow brind the 3ds content into this remaster. Don't leave it behind Sega!

I do want them to slow down, I'm always about a year behind on their output.
I like what they are doing and love the focus on back catalogue so really hope they can still balance the new and the remakes/remasters.

This is impossible to pick just three...

Shining force
Panzer dragoon
Story of Thor (beyond oasis for those in the USA)
Shenmue
Skies of Arcadia
Phantasy star
Chu Chu rocket
Billy hatcher
ECCO the dolphin

I'm finding it odd that there are no western reviews yet??

If not a sequel, where's the port?
An advance series collection is wellll overdue

I really want the offline version to come globally.
Come on squeenix. Give it to us!

Hey Nintendolife team,
Some feedback - would be great to have some images which aren't just menus... Would be great to see what the game actually looks like

Would love to see this trilogy come to switch. Terranigma is an amazing and underrated game.
I'm not sure I ever completed Gaia though...

I am cracking on with Chrono Cross on switch.
I also just finished Death Stranding on PS5 - I make a rotation between playstation, Xbox and polymega to make sure all my consoles get used - now playing Story of Thor 2 on Polymega - great game, really underrated compared to the MD original

This looks ace. Come on Nintendo. Do the right thing here

Finally!!!! Been waiting for this one for years!

Guys, you missed Fuga: Melodies of steel 2.
It's amazing! Just as good, if not better than the first.
Highly recommended as the first was a massively underrated gem

Although I love they are making these more available again, I do with they would release a "definitive" collection/bundle with all the versions.

So release a collection of 3 with the original NES, pixel remaster version and the D's version.
And 6 as the original, then updated with the new updates in this and the GBA version.

That would be wonderful and much better for preservation

I think any legitimate access is better than nothing .
But publishers need to be realistic on what is possible and plan the budget/price accordingly.
Like if the source code is lost. Emulate it. Price it accordingly.

I also think it sucks when multiple versions have been made and content gets lost. Like the pixel remasters example mentioned missing gba content...

Bring me gamegear games!!!
Plus the last few from the megadrive would be amazing.
I think asking for Saturn might be pushing it but I will take everything please!

The first game was amazing. Part of a long running series of games (Solatorobo is also wonderful) that are criminally underrated and written off by people because of the character design
I am super excited for this! Bring it on!

I would love this. These games were always on my list but just never got to it and then it was too late/expensive! 😭

This looks great. Way better than the actual DS game that got released (although that was super fun)

I'd love to see them revisit their last games in the series. I never got a chance to play most before symphonic so would relish a re-release.
Phantasia is a classic that needs to be available!

I wish they would just do an "ultimate" version with all the additional content from the GBA/PSX versions.
I would actually prefer a collection of every version of each game so you can choose which remake you play - similar to some of the other retro collections. That would be an amazing piece of preservation

For me it's frustrating that the core subscription is being left behind. There's so many more NES and SNES games that they could release...

Despite really struggling with Xenoblade 1, I really want to see modern ports of most of their history.
Baiten katos was always really high on my list but was too pricey.
Project X zone was also something I missed. It was really cheap for a bit and I faffed and now it's gone up a lot.
Still wondering if I should give xenogears a go too...

Panzer dragoon saga
Shining force 3

These two are my babies!

I think the game has potential. I think what's shows has the potential to be fun, but it's hard to pull it together and it doesn't look like it feels satisfying...
To me it looks more like Mario Odyssey in gameplay, but BOTW in feel. I don't mind sega trying something new, sonic 3d games haven't worked for me since adventure 1/2. They just need to make the gameplay feel satisfying!

@samuelvictor still can't find it on the website. Think I need to try on the switch (which isn't with me at the moment!)

Anyone worked out how to preorder the digital deluxe version in the UK? I seem to only find the normal one.

Also this looks great. Hoping that they drop the game gear games in as extras in a few months...

I loved this game on ps5. It's by no means perfect but an enjoyable romp with such loveable characters. I do agree with a previous commenter that the concept didn't appeal, the only reason I played it was that it was on PS+ and one of the only PS5 games I had!
It's such a shame about the performance issues as feel like this could have had a nice home on switch

So I've done this with a few game series over the last few years. I realised I had big gaps in my knowledge and decided to go back and see how the series evolved and impacted gaming history.

I did the Zelda series (although I gave up on 2!), Tales of (more because I love them and also only the accessible games, which cuts out some of the worst), Metal Gear and God of War (actually played the most recent which made me go back and play the originals).
It's super interesting to do, but you need to have patience and know when to put a game down and move on

@Drac_Mazoku
Yeah I'm slightly lost now if the game is a 6/10 or just the remaster effort. They say it's the best way to play a beloved game but then I'm not sure why it's so low?
I never played it, is the game itself an 8-9/10? So then the release is a terrible version hence the lower score... Not really sure I understand this review! 😅

I really hope this makes Nintendo step up. NSO could be amazing but it's just missing so much. I also hate the addition of dlc, feels like a weird way of adding value. Just do more games, more classic consoles. Game boy, GBA and ds would be amazing

Super Mario Party. Or at least put it into new new Mario party. Both could work.

@Thrallherd I think that's the challenge.

Do you review relative to now? Or relative to when it came out and it's significance?

I think the point of reviews are to help people decide whether to purchase the product so it should be relative to now. You can do features and retrospectives to show how impactful it was back at release.

As others have said I was surprised how much this had aged when I played it recently. I actually gave up. I 100%'d the ds version but the controls of the original just don't hold up anymore

@NintonicGamer same!!! For me Ecco is an 8/10. I can understand it not being for everyone, but the score that low feels wrong!

Surprised to see so many people vote that they would get it!
For me it's just a no go when 30% of the value is for a game I'm not interested in. Feels like a really bizarre move by the big N
