Oh it'll come, I doubt Nintendo backed down without some kind of dual release for both systems. I want to bet Microsoft paid MGM a big sum of cash to get it released and agreed with Nintendo as long as it came to Switch too.
@EvrgrnCmln Its a name that has passed along over the years that even some casuals that may have never played a game have heard of it. Even without that, Cap Falcon is a more than recognizable character thanks to Smash Bros that all you need is to start the trailer with him and everyone would get it. Its him and the series he came from.
Think they were too much in a rush to turn it into a multi game IP (Port of the original, this, anime etc.) that they forgot to promote the thing more.
But then, if you had the rights for certain Marvel properties, those have to come first I guess.
Think a lot of people have prepared for these not being a packed with new features remake much like I am. As much as I wished they did more, I'm still looking forward to playing through my fav gen once more.
@UglyCasanova Hence why I said new games, we could see gamers going for games that have been out earlier in the year either with no issues or have been patched enough to work if this keeps happening.
If the games industry isnt careful, they're going to find that no one is going to bother with new holiday releases if they're just going to be rushed out the door for the season and patch later.
Rockstar made tons off of GTA V alone, they could of delayed this a few months.
Kinda wish they did this last week before I started a save on SM64 on the collection, but I guess getting the 2nd half of the Stars with the 64 controller is something.
Sadly, this would be all the ammo Nintendo would need to scrap any future N64 inclusion should they restart their classic line up for the Switch successor.
Every time they add new games, its going to be met with thumbs down on youtube and endless "When are you going to fix the service?!?" comments. This won't just go away.
I think they do need to acknowledge this, promise to try and fix it as best they can, and maybe give the early adapters something as way of an apology.
Before you go off and daydream the likes of Goldeneye and so on, I would have to remind everyone that the NES and SNES app were pleaged with "SP" versions of games.
Chances are, some of those entries could be those, like a maxed out OOT entry or 70 Stars Mario 64, that sort of thing.
You would think with what they were charging they would emulate the Controller Pak functionality so it opens up more possible games that require it like Rayman 2....
Tell me they at least sorted out the Memory Pak functionality right? That didnt on either Virtual Console and while not saving your ghosts in Mario Kart is no big deal, games that needed the pak to save ride on whether this is possible or not (Rayman 2 comes to mind.)
They're not gonna till Switch 2 or whatever is the successor to the Switch me thinks. The OLED was the chance to bring out a Pro mode but now by the time that model; has been out long enough for another model, it would be more ideal just to launch the next system.
Here's hoping Nintendo will embrace Backwards Compatibility like Sony and Microsoft have done. I think everyone's done with starting anew for a system library.
@Noid Yeah, but then you get into a TMNT, Xmen and Simpsons Arcade situation where not long after release, they get delisted, which I'm sure Hamster want these games up for as long as possible. Even for straight ports like these, it's not worth Konami's time and money to pay and negotiate the license between them, Hamster, whoever owns those the IP and right to make games from that IP and divide up the profits among them.
Granted, no movie, TV Show or Comicbook tie ins, there are a ton of compilations out there, and stuff like Nintendo Switch Online covers a lot of stuff, but they could bring over a ton on Playstation Systems (And XBox if they ever decide to bring Arcade Archives there.). I see this as good for say, the stuff that never appears on compilations.

Re: GoldenEye 007 Is Getting A Digital Release, But Not On A Nintendo Console

Re: Sonic Boom's TV Animation Is Getting A 'Complete Series' Steelbook Blu-ray Release Next March
@Xiovanni Thats true, but something to be aware of and maybe wait on a review.
Re: Sonic Boom's TV Animation Is Getting A 'Complete Series' Steelbook Blu-ray Release Next March
1 disc less than the individual release, so probably a bit more compressed.
Re: '90s Sonic The Hedgehog Cartoons Speeding Onto Blu-ray
@Fugman As opposed to a 6 or more disc boxset that'll take up more space on your shelf?
@NinChocolate Correct.
Re: '90s Sonic The Hedgehog Cartoons Speeding Onto Blu-ray
Honestly? Its far more effort than the other DVD releases that are just the episodes and thats it.
That and I'm sure it will take up less space on the shelf. XD
Re: Banjo-Kazooie Is Getting Jiggy With Nintendo Switch Online In January
Well, at least we might get an idea by April what comes after the already announced games.
And I guess Mega Drive is left out in the cold, despite having many more games to drip feed (I mean come on, Pulseman by Game Freak maybe?)
Re: That Mysterious Voice In The Sonic Frontiers Trailer? Turns Out It's A Familiar Friend
Ahh, so the plot of the game is just Sonic trying to get away from Amy.
Re: Talking Point: Should The Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack Library Expand Faster?
You have the Mega Drive, the most ported over library of games, and a beefy one at that. There should be no excuse not to do a few a month.
Re: Nintendo Is Adding Paper Mario 64 To Switch Online's Expansion Pack, Out Next Week
I'm just glad at least it wasnt a 6 month wait like NES/SNES games tend to do these days, but then it could just be Christmas one off....
Re: UK Charts: Black Friday Deals See Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Back At Number One
@Anti-Matter Scalpers don't need games, they'll make enough on the consoles alone. XD

Now imagine the freak out if it was F Zero...
...but that's for another universe.
Re: Fire Breaks Out At Super Nintendo World's Yoshi Ride, Park Forced To Temporarily Close
And so, Nintendo Land enters Theme Park creepypasta territory.
You know a picture of a burnt Yoshi is going to leak and get people writing tall tales....

Re: Epic Games Acquires Harmonix, Makers Of Rock Band, To Work On Fortnite
Rock Band still gets updated?
Re: UK Charts: Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl Make Dominant Debut
What do you know, DP was already perfect as it is. Can't improve much upon perfection.
Re: Mini Review: Dr. Mario 64 - Diagnosis: A Bit Rubbish
Ehh, nice to try it at least after all these years it never came to the UK.
Not something to loose sleep over, but technically a Wario game to cross off the list. Now how about bringing us Wario Land VB Nintendo?
Re: Poll: Have You Caught A Shiny Pokémon In The Diamond And Pearl Remakes Yet?
No, but found a Shiny Turtwig with a Dawn Hat in Go today at least.
Re: Pac-Man Museum+ Brings 14 Games In The Series To Switch
I used to think Street Fighter II and Sonic 2 had the most rereleases on Switch but Pacman is taking the bisket....
Re: Round Up: The Pokémon Brilliant Diamond And Shining Pearl Reviews Are In

Re: Jump Force Deluxe Edition To Be Removed From Switch eShop, Online Services Will Be Shut Down
@durrdevil Because plenty of folks will panic buy full price regardless.
Re: Nintendo Is Opening A New Store In Japan
@HammerGalladeBro With or without the Expansion Pak membership?
Re: Nintendo Is Opening A New Store In Japan
And it will cost $50 just to get in.
Re: Nintendo Adds N64 Controller Support To 3D All-Stars Version Of Super Mario 64
Kinda wish they did this last week before I started a save on SM64 on the collection, but I guess getting the 2nd half of the Stars with the 64 controller is something.
Re: Nintendo To Restock Switch Online N64 Controllers In 2022 (North America)
Pretty much jumped onto this the moment I saw they were available as I figured this would happen.
I'll wait for the first discount for the Mega Drive controller....

Re: PSA: Game & Watch: The Legend of Zelda Will Let You Enjoy Both Japanese And 'Western' Versions
@chipia but on the flip side when you die, the levels reset.
Re: Random: Chris Pratt Will Also Be The Voice Of Garfield
So who are we getting for Jon, Patrick Stewart?
Re: Review: Sin and Punishment - A Genuine Treasure And No Mistake
Its nice to finally play with an N64 controller without an import set up. Younger me would have been blown away with that set up. XD
Re: Random: Nintendo's Switch Online 'Expansion Pack' Trailer Is Now Its Most Disliked YouTube Video Ever
Sadly, this would be all the ammo Nintendo would need to scrap any future N64 inclusion should they restart their classic line up for the Switch successor.
N64 Mini? Yeah that ain't ever happening now.
Re: F-Zero Climax For GBA Now Has A "Complete" Fan-Made Translation Patch
Surprised it took this long, but then I'm not a translator or have any knowledge how much text this game has.
Might be 2D F Zero but should give fans something till Nintendo finally cracks.
Re: Review: Marvel's Guardians Of The Galaxy: Cloud Version - A Disastrous Way To Play A Great Game
Yup, Kingdom Hearts is going to be a disaster.
Launched on a service no one wants it on and even the most diehard fans that sign up won't have a pleasant experience.
Re: Video: The Nintendo 64 Controller Works With Any Switch Game (Kinda)
Its does work on Mario 64 on the All Stars Collection.....except you can't punch.

Re: Rumour: Switch Online Datamine Uncovers Plans For "At Least" 38 N64 Games And 52 Sega Genesis Titles

Re: Nintendo Switch System Update 13.1.0 Is Now Live - Adds The Switch Online Expansion Pack
You would think with what they were charging they would emulate the Controller Pak functionality so it opens up more possible games that require it like Rayman 2....
....judging by Mario Kart, they did not.
Re: Tetris 99 Is Hosting A Metroid Dread Crossover Event This Weekend
@PBandSmelly Samus was playing the game as the ship was landing.
Re: Nintendo Switch System Update 13.1.0 Is Now Live - Adds The Switch Online Expansion Pack
Still getting the maintenance screen, so probably not in the UK.
Re: Poll: N64 And Sega Genesis Nintendo Switch Online Games Launch Today - Which Will You Play First?

Re: Where To Pre-Order The Nintendo Switch Online Nintendo 64 Controllers
@Hydra_Spectre I mean hey, we have access to the Japanese app, so there's always the chance the Rumble Versions of that and Wave Race show up.
Sure no high visuals unless they do update the Collection, but hey.

@shonenjump86 If you can call $8 an NES game better.
