I'm wondering if they have some data that says AC owners Don't have switch online...
Otherwise it makes no sense.

I don't have (or want) AC so why would I opt in to this? You alienate 70%ish of the console base...

Can we get the kingdom hearts collection now?

Oooo gimme gimme gimme!

@sanderev I actually wouldn't mind that. I don't play NES games at all and could just chop and change when I wanted to!

@sanderev yeah I know that. Maybe I worded it badly.
My point is that services like NSO offer regular new content. Game pass is a rediculous offer but yes a lot more money than NSO.
So hence I am torn. NSO is a lot cheaper than competitors, but I still think they need to offer more before adding tiers

Yeah for me not a great one. Not much that excited me personally.
I thought the Kirby game looked great though - a nice evolution, maybe it does for Kirby what BotW and Odyssey did for Zelda and Mario?

The NSO expansion got me really annoyed. I am in two minds because the existing sub prices are actually very good, but they are just not giving enough value Vs other services. They need to more regularly add games for what we pay now before adding new tiers in my opinion

This is stupid. It's great but payment tiers are stupid.
Other sub services get new content constantly, ps+, ps now, Xbox gold, game pass monthly.
This should be included in the normal sub cost not an additional tier. OR. We should get more NES/SNES games regularly

@OorWullie do itttt!!! It's very good. Hope you enjoy it!

I know technically it came out in July, But Fuga: Melodies of steel is really being missed by people.
It's a great game with some real tension and deserves some more attention from people!
To paraphrase a steam review... It's the only game I'm aware of that lets you sacrifice a 4 year old child to power a super weapon

Rocket slimeeee!
Also I should have said I wanted the 3ds monsters remakes...

Yaaasss! Such a great game. Bring it back!

I hope we see the full series eventually. Think the Switch is a great home for JRPGs!
Played the first game a while back and put it on hold until I had more time... Maybe this is the push I need

It's not a game I'm 100% sure I want to play, BUT a switch port would definitely increase the likelihood I buy it!

I am fine with content as dlc. Makes sense. Pay more, get more.
Functionality shouldn't be behind a £25 paywall though. That's extortion.
The only thing I can think of is Bamco in tales games offer 2* gold/exp or capcom in RE games offering unlocks early. But that's pay to get ahead and 1-2£. It's veryyyy different pricing.

I have no issue with dlc (or amiibo) if it offers good value for what I get in return. This one seems unbelievably expensive for nothing.

What they really should have done is made them online.
Create one store system linked to the switch where you can buy/add games to the mini consoles. That way you continue to monetize, and also people can play on switch too. Would have been a great little money maker if they'd thought about it

New boards, new minigames pls

Oh my god it still looks delightfully camp!
Love it!

Arguably Symphonia has had the most exposure. It's come out on quite a few consoles and I think it's on pc? Unlike a lot of others. Vesperia is also widely available - plus it's on the latest generation which has sold she'd loads of units.

I still want some ports of older games so I can play them (even though some.of the older games are apparently a bit pants)

I was quite a fan of the ranger spin-offs. Shame they don't get talked about anymore

I always wanted to play conquest - but missed out and now it's quite pricey!

Ah! If only I could find time to actually play it! I want to play the original (from the collection) then play the remake with different characters.

NEED MORE TIME!

@TheFullAndy question for you? What didn't work when you were playing it? (Also what internet speed do you get)

I'm really interested in if the cloud versions are successful or not. Stadia works great but I have too many other platforms to think about. But I do think cloud gaming will become way more important.
Unfortunately although I'm interested in the concept I'm just not interested in the games so far!

Come on sega! Port the original!
Although I have finally caved and started playing on ps5. Not sure I would double dip...

Where's the Persona switch port!! 😭

@iaLgan I am a fan of JRPGs and also Dragon Quest so take my thoughts as you will.
So far I love it. It's definitely Dragon Quest, has obviously been made with such care. I am currently thinking it's on a par with 8 (which is my favourite), but time will tell still...
If you like JRPGs I would recommend. Right now it's an 8 or 9 out of 10, but I am also quite harsh 😂

I am about 40% through Dragon Quest 11. Loving it so far!
I also finally caved in and started playing Persona 5. Was holding out for a switch port, but now Strikers is coming out soon I need to just crack on.
2 epic games will take me a while though!

Come on Nintendo. You are a global company. Think globally. Why is this only open to people in the USA and Canada??

@Paranoid_Android I enjoyed it. If you like classic SNES JRPGs you should enjoy it. It's not the best but also not bad - probably a 7/10.

I'm on a switch binge. Just finished Dragonball fighterz, Catherine, grandia 2 and star ocean.
Now after a lot of short games planning to finally dive into Dragon quest 11. Wish me luck!

Happily disappointed here. I was hoping for discounts on Pokémon and paper Mario, but also didn't want to spend the money yet!
But Dragonball fighterz being the same price as on other consoles means I'll finally pick it up

I always wanted to play the 3d version but it's impossible to get now for a reasonable price.
Unfortunately I've already bought for switch a few years back. Hopefully the developer saw some of that money...

So is there any point in keeping my copy of the game? Can I still download levels?

@Ryu_Niiyama I work in retail. Honestly retailers started doing it as an opportunity and now consumers expect it. Sales tend to slow down in advance of it because people wait for the discounts to be announced.

It's a global thing. Same thing is happening with singles day (biggest retail day globally) - started just in China but slowly expanding to other countries.

Gimme gimme gimme!

I wanted to play them on vita but switch will be much easier!

Yeah I feel like Yooka Kaylee, Tourist, two point hospital are all fairly well known (though I don't know if they sold well).

That said, even though they are all on my list I still haven't got round to them!

Like many others I was a bit fan of their work.
But from the 3ds era onwards I feel like it's been a bit too kiddie focused. I mean - what have they put out other than Snack World, Yokai Watch and inazuma 11 in recent years? All play quite young i think.

I also think they were a bit too focused on trying to be the next Pokémon...

Oh no. Haven't checked my old DS's in a while...

@Menardi very unlikely to be Disney. I doubt they have much input in the series other than approvals and a cut of the money.

I think most likely a resource thing on squenix's part. They looked into it and decided it would take too much time/money Vs the expected return. Disappointing as I was hoping for a port of at least the first few (not played any yet!)

I'm in the final stages of my quest to finish all the Zelda games (excluding spin offs). Finally started BotW and it's amazing. 3 divine beasts down, one to go. Done about 70 shrines now and just unlocked the last tower! So good!

Also started MGS V on PS4. It'll be my backup. I never played any MG games when they came out so again, been educating myself on the series by going back to the beginning (metal gear on max) and playing through. Great gaming history here

This is great! But where's galaxy 2? Why no love for that game?

Would also love to have seen a handheld collection too (land and new). But we got a good haul!

I don't get why Sega haven't done a Capcom. Take their most popular games and port them a code that makes them super easy to port (like resi evil). As already mentioned they have so many great games waiting in the wings, but I think a lot of the Saturn games will never get ported as they will be too costly and not enough demand (unfortunately).

I'd also love to know the actual reason we never see a sonic 3 port anymore - I got it on Xbox 360, but we've not seen it since...

SAME!
I definitely enjoyed when I played the first time but subsequent efforts to replay have led me to give up. I also struggle with any of the newer games, meaning I've not attempted wooly world yet even though I love the art.

I do wonder whether the reception of later Yoshi's Island games is actually because the original isn't that great but nostalgia keeps it on a pedestal?

I desperately want a hd port of thousand year door, and also super. Those games were great and also different from each other.

Star sticker was a 6/10 and colour splash 7/10 (good but not great). I have a feeling this will be another 7/10...

I wonder if we'll see an evolution again to be more RPG now alpha dream don't exist anymore. Or will they pass the mario&Luigi Baton to a new devoloper?

I was going to buy Catherine this week but I will wait and see if it ends up in this offer. I know it will get a sale at some point but I want to show support so we can finally get some Persona games!

I would love a definitive version of the DKC series. I loved some of the additions in the GBA releases, but they could also definitely do with a fresh lick of paint (resolution)...

It really upsets me! This would have been ideal for some support!

If I remember correctly mario tennis had much lower sales but a year of free updates.

Where's the love Nintendo!

@kayleedayo great advice thanks!
Actually this time we are only planning one night in Tokyo (before we fly back) so unlikely to do or see much there at all!
Most of our time will be spent in Hokkaido to see a different side to the country!

I liked the GBA additions. Do a definitive version!

@kayleedayo where did you get them from? Hopefully going to Japan later this year (if everything works out with 2020 drama!) And might look to replace my Vita...

@Friendly true, but other than Paper Mario and mario golf most of those are a bit dead right now (although I would love to see them revived).
I'm sure I remember reading that Pikmin 4 was being worked on years ago so that will probably happen.
Star fox I feel like Nintendo Don't know what to do with it. It always feels a bit like a reluctant/half assed release

I'm struggling to think of what Nintendo could be working on for this year (other than remasters).

New Kirby game? Mario odyssey 2? Paper Mario?
Most franchises only get one release per console and we've had that expect for Metroid
