Would like to drop a recommendation for Clyde Mandelin's Legends Of Localisation series https://www.fangamer.com/collections/legends-of-localization

He compares the Japanese versions of games to their translated counterparts and explains why some of the differences may exist (and wonders in bafflement at some of the more bizarre changes). Good read!

I utterly adore this game, enough to have worn it as my avatar for 12 years now. I already own it twice, and the Switch release is going to make it three times.

All I've wanted for many years now is a portable SNES console with a vast library of games (no, those ones where you plug a cart into the top don't count). The n3DS threatened to do that with the NES Virtual Console, but that seems to have kinda... ended with a whimper. Drop packages of games onto Switch in this style though and you'll get my money for sure.

Played this recently on Steam- single player has a 30-minute Arcade mode against progressively tougher opponents, and is otherwise limited to bot matches (with a lot of different game modes). A single player will probably dip in and out of this for a 5-minute burn, but it's not going to keep you hooked for a long time. Hopefully mulitplayer on switch will be more populated than it is on Steam. It's a lot of fun though, I recommend it if you don't mind bot matches.

Day one! Obviously!

Should be pretty obvious that I'd love this, lol. I already own Ikaruga twice (GC and Steam) but I'd still buy it again on Switch.

Alex died three times to make this for us, such sacrifice is deserving of an OBE

Miitomo is very reliant on groups of people using it. My friends stopped using it, so there's no reason for me to use it because there's no new content, which means I'm not generating new content for my friends either... and it kinda spirals downwards.

The Fire Emblem Movie would be three hours long and, right at the end, the main character would be killed by a random arrow striking him critically, and you'd have to watch the whole thing over again from the start.

So, if you can still catch missingno, and these games interact with Bank...

I voted Awakening, LTTP, and Ocarina, but I really want to give honourable mention to Minish Cap which is a superb game and I tried very hard to convince myself to drop one of the others to include it.

I hope the peeps at TCRF can get in touch with this person! What a treasure trove!

There's something unsettling about seeing Sonic in the 1-1 environment. Who would ever have expected to see that in an official Nintendo game?

Any ideas on the tracklist?

Ash abandons Pikachu forever and replaces him with a Lilligant.

Bruce still has a fantastic voice. \m/

The game's aesthetic is straight out of mid-90's nickelodeon- I think the advert is pretty on point, in that regard

Everyone familiar with it from Back In The Day now has Megablast stuck in their heads, right?

It's pretty entertaining that you use a character called "Honest Abe" to perform this...

Those d-pads- I hardly dare say it, but they look like they might be quite decent. It'd be a stretch to make them worse than the original GC d-pads, though

Now if only the Wii U had some gamecube games that could use this too, eh Nintendo?

The light seems a bit flickery, is that just an artifact of recording?

It's a shame, F-Zero has a really kooky cast of characters (phew, say that 5 times fast) but Nintendo seem unwilling to really do much with them. The Falcon Densetsu anime was a step in the right direction, but apparently it was a bit naff. A saturday-morning kids cartoon kinda show with a different focus each week would give the cast time to shine in the kind of super-cheesy way they need.
