Thats cute, they think RE2/3/7 count despite being likely a free upgrade....

Welp, this is your last chance to get Sonic 3 and Knuckles on anything remotely modern incase the soundtrack isn't on the Origins Collection.

Just keep in mind on XBox, you need to buy Sonic 2, and 3 along with and Knuckles for the whole Sonic and Knuckles package.

Got it through a heavy discount thanks to a sale and gold coins...

....but with the new one on the way, might as well crack it open and play soon.

Mario: You can have 2022 Blue Hedgehog, I'll take 2023!

@Pandy-the-Panda I think we will soon. Since Origins is coming in 2 months I doubt we'll see Sonic 1 on the service for awhile which only leaves 1 Sonic game they can release now.

It's been confirmed Mirror Mode can be unlocked so I can assume the Digital Deluxe is for those not willing to do it the hard way.

I'll take the challenge if that's the case.

Yes, all 3. Maybe even salvage that near complete build of 4 and fix it up for Switch.

That would be awesome, but I don't think they'll just give away Pokemon RBYGSC away for free on the Apps, so its probably another 3DS scenario where we have to buy them each...

....or they end up just doing this for Mario Golf and Tennis.

Surprising there's no soundtrack. I'm not expecting another vinyl but even 2 had a CD soundtrack in its special edition.

Konami, we love your money, I mean our fans!

Yup, Konami found a way to get as much money from us as possible.

Optional at least, but I'm sure enough folks are gonna pick up the limited edition. Gotta pay for the license somehow.

Finally, an update! And the fact its a rating should mean whatever issues like the Sonic 3 music have been resolved, the collection's near enough finished and we can probably see a new trailer soon with that all important release date.

Does it come with an opening ceremony with Miyamoto dressed up like Willy Wonka?

So 3-4 slots to more Street Fighter II then.

It's more likely we'll get one of the NA or Europe exclusives in their place like Pokémon Puzzle League....or nothing at all knowing Nintendo.

Well he'll be easy to reskin into other characters.

Tailspin skin.
Little John Skin.

I think they'll convince he to do at least 1 more Sonic movie. He says he might be done, but money talks.

@spiderman0616 Impatient kids that wanna skip to the end so they have more time for Fortnite.

@alexybubble Namco: Now don't be silly and eat your 5th helping of Pac-man and Namco Museum Collections on Switch!

Huh, interesting choice with Earthworm Jim.

Meanwhile Japan got Harvest Moon instead.

@HammerGalladeBro They restarted development on Prime 4 because it was not meeting their standards, Zelda will be fine.

Fine by me, we still have Splatoon 3, Bayonetta 3, Xenoblade 3, and new Pokémon games coming this year so one less game is actually welcomed for me.

So I guess Stadium will feature some kind of device to plug our RBY carts in?

"Miyamoto-san spilt a coffee over the server containing the Wii and DSi store information by accident. Please wait while we dust off the back up disc."

I believe Japan was meant to be getting Custom Robo 1 and 2 at some point, so be interesting to see if we get some Western Exclusives when the get those, maybe Pokemon Puzzle League.

@Anti-Matter Technically there is a DDR game on N64.....if you don't mind Disney or Japanese imports.

What's the download size looking like?

I mean they have to add Home at some point right? Otherwise how are we meant to complete the Pokedex without Celebi?

Konami: Now don't ever ask us for anything again!

Fan: Well you could do a Metal Gear Collec....

Konami: LALALA I'M NOT LISTENING LALALA!

Such is the risk of developing for digital stores of aging hardware.

The only new 3DS and Wii U games we'll ever see again will be homebrew.

Odd they didnt announce this right after adding Majora's Mask like the other N64 games but shows Nintendo just hates the series.

So should be the start of new unannounced games coming right?

"Oh, looks like a power cut in town/city4, come back later!"

@Greatluigi Assuming they do.

@Tim_Vreeland I also remember the website crashing and loading slowly when they offered the Gamecube Zelda Collection and Pokemon Box. Doubt they want that again.

Still an improvement over the Wii U, never fixing that darker tone for games.

Any chance of a Top List of notable Wii U and 3DS Paid DLC to Grab before they're gone?

Anyone else dreading another wave of amiibo?

It would be cool if they patched Anniversary to have better rollback Netcode and online for ALL the games.

Tempting, but I got enough to buy on the English Stores.

Hear me out.....R.O.B the Robot.

Might be worth doing a list for Wii U too. One example is Sonic Boom which has a 1GB patch to fix some of the glitches. Not the best example I know, but better than being stuck with only the non-patched version someday.

@Eel Kinda the disadvantage of the apps. Some publishers would rather sell digital copies than agree to some kind of subscription model. We've seen that with the Megaman, Street Fighter (Like 3 different paid releases of SFII on Switch alone? XD) and Castlevania series already, Natsume is probably the same.

I remember way back they said 64 wouldnt be possible on the Wii VC for some reason and then it showed up on the Wii U VC some years later.

Not sure if it'll be on the Switch app or not whether its possible on the hardware or Natsume doesnt wanna but might be worth considering.

@techdude Because a lot of panic buyers ARE paying full price.

Maybe you can do a list for games with notable DLC too? Fire Emblem sure, but there are others like Mario Golf as well.

Sooo, this makes things awkward.

While yes, a year is plenty of time to snatch the things you want, both systems can only 300 downloads at a time. You exceed that, then you have to delete something. Yes you can redownload stuff after the store closures for now, that might not always be the case, so the only real option is to buy USB Memory sticks on-top of a dedicated external Harddrive. You can have a 2TB drive but unless you're downloading retail games, you'll hit the 300 limit quicker.

And then of course DLC on top of games. On top of my head, there's the BOTW Pass and tons of Fire Emblem DLC.

And while it said you can still download game patches, you might wanna get those out the way just in-case. One exactly is the 1GB patch for Sonic Boom which fixed some glitches. Okay a bad game, but you really wanna be stuck with the unpatched game someday, i.e the worst version?

And Pokemon. Pokemon, Pokemon, Pokemon. If you never finished those Gen 6-7 Pokedex's, you might wanna send your Gen 5 and prior Pokemon over before its too late. Unless of course you don't care and use hacking to do that.

Hopefully a year's enough....but who know? We had this last year with the PS3 and Sony reversed that decision so we could see that happen here.

Regardless, it makes me nervous that the Switch's successor won't carry over the Switch eShop and they start over again.

For those that know the math, whats the number of possible course choices they can pick from to fill 48 slots?

Welp, better snap up whatever digital LOTR games there are. That Lego Hobbit probably won't be around forever...

@Nintendude78 Supposedly data miners found room for some kind of expansion.

Date for a Pokemon Direct (Anniversary coming up, Legends DLC, maybe Darkrai event for BDSP?)
Date for a Kirby Direct (New game, anniversary stuff, spin offs and a Kirby Game&Watch)

We'll be lucky if we get big reveals like BOTW2. They need to save something for E3, whether that happens or not.
