Less worried about the old one being limited edition. More thinking I can finally play Secret of Mana 3 player on Wii with the proper controller!
I like the idea of the SNES mini, but I have all the games I want to play on here on my Wii/Wii u. As adorable as this is I can just see it gathering dust... Despite that I want one!
Yes I know. It's very sad. When Sega started releasing HD remakes of Saturn and Dreamcast games on the last gen of consoles I got excited. Then they release some really odd choices... None of my faves then stop. So disappointed then!
Reality is, even though SF3 and PD saga are two of the best games of all time, very few people know about them so a re-release would never sell.
Shenmue at least has the reputation, and Sega still missed that...
It's nearly time to buy a switch I think. Held off until there is more games (and I clear my backlog a bit), now I can see 7 that I want - probably more than I'll actually be able to play through!
Ooo. Here's hoping the Switch becomes the jrpg powerhouse we got from the original DS. Squenix seem to be supporting, are are Atlus's (more please), just need Bamco and you'll have the powerhouses.
Thinking I may need to think about purchasing a switch before xmas...
I'm actually more up for remakes/ports than sequels (look at sonic and nights...). But definitely need: Shenmue Hd Shining force 3 (all of the series if we're feeling generous) Skies of Arcadia hd Panzer dragoon hd (especially Saga)
A new streets of rage in a retro style would be great. An new ecco (I enjoyed the Dreamcast game quite a lot).
Chi Chu rocket would make an excellent mobile game. No idea why this hasn't been done
I have never once been able to buy online from Game. Forget pre-ordering. Things that are already available.
Every single time I get a message saying they'd cancelled the order due to issues with my card. No messages from the bank. Try again. Still failed. Try another card. Failed again. Different bank. Still fail.
I just don't use their website anymore. It's a shame because they are really the only place on the high st to buy games near me, and it's only the stores that will suffer in the end
Bit disappointed. Currently playing through P3P on my vita and was starting to get concerned that I wouldn't enjoy P5 on a TV. I enjoy RPGs like this as a pick up and play, leave in rest mode kind of thing, not being forced to adhere to save points.
Obviously they won't port to Vita, but Switch would have been a nice alternative. Given Atlus's history of doing updated ports maybe there's a possibility eventually
I think the key thing for me is that the third party support is either brand new games/IPs, or at least release parity. The Wii u's downfall in that regard is because most third party publishers released games that were already a year old (and therefore already owned on ps3 of 360).
Nintendo (and publishers) need to be conscious that Sony and Microsoft have already sold what 60-70m consoles, so anything for a core gamer has probably already been purchased on one of those consoles.
I hope publishers have learnt from the Wii u. Most "gamers" already have an Xbox one or ps4. Most of those won't be looking to rebuy a game they already own. This isn't necessarily a new audience... Just one that has moved away from Nintendo.
I think you need a combination. If be less inclined to buy a straight up port of a Wii u game, it's need some significant extras. On the other hand if they did more HD versions of GameCube classics I would definitely buy them. Massive misses opportunity on Wii U as we only really saw Zelda releases. What about Mario sunshine? Thousand door kingdom?
Would love to play a re-release of this. I'd be really interested to find out what it truly costs a company like squenix to localise something like this, and therefore what return they'd need to get
As well as other people I wish Nintendo were offering some kind of cross buy discount. I've bought these games already - I'm not buying them again. I understand there is cost involved but charge us £1 like you do with the Wii U.
I'd also like to see different games. Not just the same ones again and again that I've bought on Wii and then Wii U, give us some variety!
Currently working my way through DQ3. Then I'll have done 1-6, 9 and the two joker games. Really hoping they localise some of the other monsters remakes after this, Rocket Slime would be too much to ask - that game was amazing though
I have to say I struggled with Joker 2. The first was amazing though. I'm more gutted we didn't get the remakes of the original Monster games! I want those! And Rocket Slime!
I know there's lots of exciting firstly party games this week, but Stick it to the Man is really good. It was free on ps+ a while back so really recommend it! Support the indie devs!
@HipsterDashie unfortunately got to add on VAT - which takes it to £22. So we're still seeing a dodgy price conversion. It frustrates me that so many companies take advantage like this
I never played sonic boom on wii u. I pmayed a demo on 3ds and was disapointed. Everytime I read an interview with devs it seems they dont get Sonic. The original games had speed. They also had control. All games post SA2 have had either speed or control but not both. Even the sonic advance games struggled with control. Sonic is single player at heart, coop only works in the right situations, stop shoehorning it into every game.

I would love more RPGs on switch. To me it's a perfect console for it. Now just need time to go back and play all of the trails games in my backlog...

Re: The Super NES Classic Edition Hides the Classic Controller Connector Ports
So do these controllers work with Wii/Wii u's VC games? Are they the same as the one on the old club Nintendo site?

Saturn and Dreamcast on switch?! Yes please! Not that Sega will release my favourite games - shining force 3 and Panzer dragoon saga

Re: Steam Trailer Gives 15th August Release Date for Sonic Mania
Torn on this. Don't yet own a switch. Want to support Nintendo, but also want to support this game. Do I cave and buy on ps4?
Re: Sega Is Looking To Revive Some Of Its Past Classics

Shenmue Hd

If they localise that collection it might actually be the game that I buy a switch for

Re: Nintendo Download: 9th February (Europe)
So tempted by Ogre Battle. A series I've dabbled in but never truly in invested. Should I wait and hope for a switch port though?

Re: Square Enix Confirms New Dragon Quest Monsters Title At Tokyo Game Show 2016
I'm slightly torn on this. Loved Joker 1, really struggled with the sequel. Its the only DQ game I've given up on. Might go back one day though.
Despite that I'd almost definitely buy the 3rd one. Think a localisation is unlikely, the second game sold badly I think.
Also- Ratking - love the profile pic!
Re: Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 3 Makes Impressive Sales Debut in Japan
Want dqj3. Though I did struggle with the second game...

Re: Dragon Quest VII Set for a Summer Release in North America
Currently working my way through DQ3. Then I'll have done 1-6, 9 and the two joker games. Really hoping they localise some of the other monsters remakes after this, Rocket Slime would be too much to ask - that game was amazing though

Why have we not had a HD remake of this?!!
