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

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.

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.

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.

Its does work on Mario 64 on the All Stars Collection.....except you can't punch.

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....

....judging by Mario Kart, they did not.

@PBandSmelly Samus was playing the game as the ship was landing.

Still getting the maintenance screen, so probably not in the UK.

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.)

@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.

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.

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

@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.

And that's just one example.

That would be neat.

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.

Brought both Passes as soon as Pyra and Mythra were revealed. XD

Nintendo: Can we have it and charge another $30 tier for it?

Here's hoping N64 games outside of the subscription will get an update to full utilize the controller like the Turoks, Star Wars Ep 1 Racer, Mario 64 on the Mario 3D Allstars Collection, and so on.

Hell, Yooka Laylee has an N64 mode, go for the full experience! XD

Huh. You sure you didn't want to squeeze more money out of us by selling us a Rumble Pak for another 30 bucks? XD

@Vyacheslav333 SEGA Mega Drive boxart, so nope.

@sleepinglion yeah, but the SEGA likely includes licensing from SEGA to actually make the controllers themselves and use the SEGA branding.

Like the NES controllers in the UK store, I don't see them selling out quickly.

@Rayla It's an Easy mode, doesn't have to make sense. Like why would Bowser leave all those Easy Mode Blocks that make Mario invincible in Mario games for example.

Maybe the ghost of the Baby Metroid then. XD

Okay for that price, you better have monthly content. You can't just make us wait for more N64 and Mega Drive titles months in-between.

@sixrings Baby Metroid mode, an Easy mode where the Baby Metroid from Samus Returns holds the players hand by defeating enemies for them. XD

@TheIronChimp Kinda hoping, since it came out in 93, that maybe they could do Ridge Racer arcade.

I know it's a 3D game but it's a very early one as far as the 90s go.

@Tandy255 If you have a 360, New Rally X is about £3, no idea if it's backwards compatible.

Yup, Pyra and Mythra should get the double pack treatment.

@alexybubble Those might be a little obscure but who knows, the Wii certainly made more people aware of the TurboGrafx.

I think it will ultimately depend on how much more Nintendo has planned to add. If down the road they add the likes of the Turbografx/PC Engine, Master System, maybe even the Saturn, then it should become more and more worth it.

@Pigeon "Hooray, we're getting Remasters of the PS2 games! I'm gonna celebrate by buying 5 more copies of GTAV!".

Now that's a bit more obscure than PAC Man and Galaga!

Vote with your wallet people.

Tweet Bidoof in Twitter.

You can thank me later.

Be interesting to see if it's the same as the Wii/Wii U version that replaced sponsor logos with Wii and DS ads. Will they just have those or go the extra step and replace those with Nintendo Switch ads and ads for the Mario Movie? XD

Perhaps they can do a "Expansion Bonus" for the NES/SNES app and future Gameboy app so they add the games that either Nintendo want to make money off of (Earthbound, Mother 3, Pokemon, etc.) and games that other companies don't really want to give away for free but would if the Expansion fee paid for them (Final Fantasy, Megaman, etc.).

I don't see why this can't be an option within the app. N64 games are not GBs in size so you could just have an option in the settings to pick between 50hz and 60hz.

And of course it won't be every game regardless. Sin and Punishment and Dr Mario 64 never got the 50hz treatment.

Here's hoping Diddy Kong Racing gets added.

@Jeffro The Wii and Wii U N64 library capped at about 20-ish N64 games, the whole library is 400 games, including the 64DD.

There are not as many N64 games as you think without either developers no longer in business, purchased by rivals (So no Wipeout 64) or are based on a film and TV Show (No way we're getting Goldeneye) or require a translation job.

So they are going to drip feed these games. I'd be surprised if we make it anywhere near 40 N64 titles.

@Yrreiht Money!

Well, they have a PS5 version as part of that legacy PS+ thingy, may as well slap it on a disc, include all its DLC and make a small profit.

@braincandy101 Look at how many GBA games there are alone, we're not even going to get to 10%.

@lighteningbolt79 if you enjoy, fair play to you, I gave up after Spyfall part 2 as I really didn't enjoy season 11 and the opener to 12 didn't look like it wasn't going to attempt to fix many of the problems me and others had.

Honest, I recently rewatched the whole Matt Smith run and a bit of Capaldi run and found it aged fairly well for an era I had not rewatched a lot since BBC 3 was no longer its own channel and had reruns of them. I know that era wasn't for everyone but I loved it and the quality most of the time seemed movie quality, hell some episodes were even shown in cinemas.

But I digress, at the very least I thought Jodie was fine in the role, it's just the writing and very little care to make characters like the companions interesting or make us care when something happens to them. Even reading about events like the Timeless Child seemed very anti-DW fanbase than embracing it as a whole. Still, we are getting a new showrunner after next year, so maybe I and others can find it enjoyable again. If not, there's always the blu ray boxsets of the older seasons to come and this game.

@Zequio Not like Capcom's going to make a MegaMan GB Collection anytime soon

It's a start, GB/GBC first, then when well drys up, GBA.

Mario Land 1-2, Wario Land 1-3, Kirby and many spin offs, the Mega Man GB saga, Donkey Kong Land trilogy and DK 94, Links Awakening, Mario Golf and Tennis, some of the Pokémon spin offs (Let's face it, RBYGSC would probably be sold for money again), countlees puzzle games, there's plenty to release over a year till we get GBA.

It happens, I was surprised when I won a Kyogre Edition GBA SP for under £15 and it was in perfect condition.

Odd you wouldn't make it an OLED model but oh well, it'll sell regardless....

Well, least there's the option of a very generous sale, right?

It's interesting given that Pokémon had been an ITV show for all these years. It and SMTV Live destroyed Live and Kicking in the Saturday morning kids slot.

Yes, that'll fill the absence of no new NES games.

Okay, so who missed out on becoming a Doctor in this game?
