Well, at least the originals are available through XBox Backwards Compatibility.

Suppose the next step now is to fuse the console and gamepad together into one super handheld. XD

Sounds about right for pricey Lego. Some sets can be build in an afternoon for twice that price.

While it's great Remastered 1+2 are getting released on Consoles finally, it felt a bit underwhelming seeing Sonic 3+K in its 4:3 state and doesn't fill me with confidence that this is going to be a packed package.

Surly by now you can port Knuckles Chaotix and find a way to do SEGASonic the Hedgehog. Come on, it's been nearly 25-30 years for those 2 titles, some kind of solution exists.

The fact it's coming next year is a silver lining that maybe more reveals will come like Remastered 3+K, maybe more "bonus games" will be announced coming to the collection, but argh, just wish we would if gotten something to really get me to look forward to it's release.

My ideal collection would be just every game from the 90s, call it the "Definitive Collection" if you will as a follow up to Mega and Gems Collection. Sonic 1 to Adventure and everything in-between, including various versions of the MD games like original, Jam and Remastered, it can be done and fit a Switch cart)game disc just fine.

Should give us hope for no more crappy mobile ports of DQ and Final Fantasy 2D games!

Hooray! Now the SNES game menu can be a giant mess too!

Tony Hawk Pro Skater 6: The Apology for Tony Hawk 5

EA: Nope, we're not going to ruin code...

Sale Exc: Sir, our profits are down by a penny from last year.

EA: SHUT THEM DOWN! LOCK THEIR IPS IN OUR CUPBOARD!

Suppose it depends on the size. For all we know, it could be somewhere in-between a regular amiibo and that large Detective Pikachu one.

But I think Nintendo's really winding down on amiibo. They know Zelda amiibo really sell well, and the Smash series remains committed to finishing off the series, bar some Player 2 ALTs people want. Reckon the moment the Smash series finishes up and BOTW 2 is done, it might be when they finally shut down amiibos for good.

Frankly, just do the whole Gameboy line.

Yeah that would mean black and white/green games but you can incorporate features like the Super Gameboy borders, colour options, and so on. It would just be a healthy injection on new subscription content that can be milked for months and months unlike the current state of the NES/SNES apps.

@Chamver music is always a complicated legal matter. Often the WWE has to replace licensed music they or companies they brought used in the past with generic music.

They will sometimes negotiate with some bands for the most iconic entrances but often they're scared s word-less over other stuff.

And don't forget, the music industry is always the most vocal about pirates and often get behind Internet Censorship bills.

Wii U: Well well, looks l still have some use because look at that! I have the game on my eShop for under 20 bucks! Good luck finding that physical for under that!

Well what do you know? Reviving old beloved spin offs sell better than just doing more sequels to Mystery Dungeon and Rumble!

That's neat, the sequel never made it to European shores on 360 so colour me interested.

So it seems the service got an upgrade too, as the order I made yesterday arrived today! And arrived in some nice Mario packaging too!

And that's one SNES Switch controller ordered.

Thanks for the heads up.

My nephew hates Yoshi so that one is perfect! XD

MegaMan 35/99.

You equip 3 or 4 Robot Master powers at the start and then good luck to ya. Enemies, Robot Master's and even Dr Wily gets sent your way.

So I would assume the seller can treat us all to pizza right?

To quote Pat the NES Punk,

THE VAAAAALUE!

Disc and handheld games with plastic cases, absolutely. Too much risk in having just the disc.

Carts I go loose but as I get older, I have been longing for boxes of iconic games or my favs so I will probably dabble in that more someday.

Sealed games, I have no desire for. Sure, you're preserving them but in my opinion, games are meant to be played with. Kinda feel bad for the poor cart/disc inside that'll never fulfill its intended purpose. Yeah call me crazy, but I'll be too busy playing games to care about sealed stuff.

"The shares are at an all time high! I think my work here is done!"

Nice! Now we just need that PAC Man one to ditch Stadia too!

I can see Rex being added to Smash 6 as an Echo fighter to Shulk, only instead of Monado arts, he gets Blade Arts to increase a stat (Roc for jumping, Wulfric for power, and so on.) Doesn't have to have the blades show up, just a picture like the Monado symbols.

@TheFullAndy I think you just need to survive very long as that's when abouts I start seeing the World 8 levels, towards the end of a game. And just keep an eye open for wrap pipes that let you pick a level or just keep doing 1-2 for better level selections.

40 levels to go and that's all the icons unlocks.

I'ma gonna complete this thing!

@TheFullAndy pray you get lucky, like every other level.

Wait, wasn't Nintendo going to crack down on this super cheap discounts?

Pyra Joycons, then stop.

Worked with Fire Emblem in Melee, it's going to work here.

Honestly, I think it's launching with Splatoon 3. It might not be the most mind-blowing graphics, but Splatoon 3 + limited edition Pro model= a heckton of money in Japan at least, and still pretty good everywhere else.

Be interesting to see if Xenoblade 2 makes even a small dent next week since it sold out in Japan and getting in low stock in the US since the Direct.

Great stuff! Had no idea Fox and co had made it as far as the final N64 build but it's close enough to the true Dinosaur Planet.

@RetroNarf they often get rereleases on stuff like Virtual Console in Japan so I guess Nintendo wants to try and get us Westerners into the series.

It's Zelda's anniversary all year round, not just this week so we're getting way more than just Skyward, just wait for E3 or a Zelda Direct.

There, now you can add your Smash Wish Picks to this and rejoice.

@clvr you can make a contest of who should and shouldn't be in Smash and your selections are probably way different to mine and everyone else's.

Pyra/Rex have been top of my list all this time and I know many more who wished the same. I'm not a fan of Minecraft but many younger folks are and were happy, I've never beaten FFVII but still thought Sephiroth was a great choice. Hell, I thought those choices were interesting polar opposites on who they appeal to.

Why Pyra? List of things I've mentioned, new or not, probably or perhaps something Sakurai will likely explain in the demonstion video. Either way, one fanbase got their wish (Even when it seemed unlikely after that Rex Mii outfit) and 2 more fanbases will get theirs later this year. Will it be one of yours, maybe. But keep in mind there are probably way more games out there you don't play with strong enough fanbases than ones you are a part of or enjoy.

@clvr Except the studio, Monolithsoft has helped Nintendo out on many occasions on other games like BOTW's gigantic map, a game that sold many a Switch on launch.

So of course Monolith are going to be allowed to continue their own games, ports/remaster's and get treated to stuff like Smash representation. Xenoblade isn't going away, it's as much a Nintendo franchise as all you favs, and being owned by Nintendo is also a huge plus as well.

XC2 and XC1 Definitive Edition still sold highly. There is a fanbase for this franchise and believe me, tomorrow will bring an explosion of fan art with pairings with the other fighters.

Nice, maybe Bounty Hunter next? Take advantage of the popularity of a certain Star Wars TV show why not.....

@shoeses well, we won't get the mainline Pokémon games for free. Spin offs like Pinball and TCG sure, but I reckon they'd make us shell out £9 for Red, Blue and Yellow onwards each again like on 3DS. XD

@GannonBanned The Wii/Wii U had around 20-25 N64 games among them without Rare bar DK64 which they own. There's plenty to stretch out among a year or so before we get to the forgettable stuff new to the service like these offerings.

Probably time we get Gameboy games. I dunno if we'll get N64 next but there's at least wide selection of games among the 3 generations of Gameboy that would mean it would be awhile before we get to the forgotten meh titles.

Plot of your next Sonic game, Eggman uses a machine to permanently screw with Sonic and friends' voices.

Hey, if the plot of Rivals can be Eggman using a camera to turn them into trading cards....

When you think about it, most 3D Sonic's don't get rereleases.

Heroes (Bar PS3), Shadow, 06, Unleashed, Generations, they've all stuck on their original hardware. Sure there's backwards compatibility, but really that doesn't really count as a rerelease, you're just buying the 360 version of Generations/Unleashed to play on your XBONE/Series X/S.

I'm sure there are plenty of gamers that would pay for a HDed up Colours and other. SEGA could make a good earner from classic rereleases even if they're digital only. It would certainly fill the void for new games these days.....

Terminator, the only film franchise that tried to kickstart a new trilogy 3 times (Salvation, Genesisy thingy, Dark Fate) and failed 3 times in a row.

Instead, we have a trilogy of failed trilogy kickstarters.

Robotnik is not pleased....

Again wish Rosalina, Luigi and Toad got one but oh well.

@Bizaster No, this is if you DISCOUNT a game. So if you sell a game for £5 and want to discount it in a sale, it can't be discounted lower than £1.99.

If you add a free to play game, its no problem as well, those can't ever be discounted, aside from microtransactions.

R.I.P 8p crappy game discounts.

That's cool. I think if they have the confidence to buy the developer and give them Luigi's Mansion to make sequels too, maybe they can pitch a new Strikers games with confidence.
