I don’t think games that are based on real life celebrities, movies or need a translation should be on this list. Even for a hypothetical wish list, there is no way these will happen.
And just because a few games on the NSO did happen such as GoldenEye, Earthbound Zero and Quest For Camelot; that doesn’t mean that any such game can happen.
@sullivans2004 That boktal game sounds cool but two things. One, the sensor on a cartridge wouldn't work as the cartridge is hidden inside the switch
I was thinking about that. The game could be connected to the internet and it would read the weather data for your area as if it was detecting the weather using the original sensor. But they wouldn’t modify the game like that. So that’s not going to happen either.
I don’t get why this reviewer has such a huge hang up against the pun names that the series is known for. They’re supposed to be made up foreign names but also have meaning and be memorable to the player.
Ahlbi Ur’Gaid = I’ll be your guide.
Paht Rohl = Patrol
Datz Are’bal = That’s a rebel
Pees'lubn Andistan'dhin = Peace, Love and Understanding
It would be worse if the names were incomprehensible words that have no meaning or relevance to the player. Nahyuta isn’t a pun name though and his name comes from Sanskrit. I found it interesting years ago to look up all the characters names and see what they mean.
@LikelySatan Arin Hanson has a hugely well known channel called GameGrumps which he has been running for the past ten years. While he’s not particularly wholesome, especially in the early days I think it’s fair to say he loves Disney Princesses… unless the game they’re in is of poor quality. While they do talk about movies, they don’t do episodes dedicated to review movies.
Mega Man X is my favourite of the series then X4. Reviewers at the time criticised it for not being like Super Metroid. Super Metroid is indeed the better game but I prefer Mega Man X.
@PtM who SNK is owned by has no relevance to the game. And he’s not going to lose money just because you don’t buy the game.
It’s like refusing to give a millionaire a penny because you don’t want them to become richer. I don’t think they care.
I’ll have to see how much it costs first before deciding to buy it. I had it on XBOX 360 and sold it but I am willing to buy it again on switch provided it’s an appropriate cost.
Mario Party 10 on Wii U had this as a bonus game. Or something like it. Balls would drop in and you have to get four of the same color touching to make them smaller and get rid of them.
My wish list is like soft sand, something else just falls in to fill up the hole of the thing that was taken out.
As much as I love TotK, I still want a Wind Waker port to Switch. And then when they do that, well there’s still that Twilight Princess port you may as well do too.
Mortal Kombat on the game boy doesn’t compare to the console and arcade versions. Sometimes a Game Boy port just isn’t going to look like the more powerful arcade version.
@BrianJL This is footage they wanted us to judge the game on. If you’ve played videogames for the past 30 years, you can recognise a good game from a bad game from ten seconds gameplay without playing it yourself. TMNT looked like a good game and was a good game. Even with the intentional retro style, it still looks like a cheap cash-in.
As to your example, if I bought 5 games at $10 each, that costs the annual subscription. After one year, then what? Gone! So I need to pay another $50. Then another. It doesn't work.
What you seem to be intentionally neglecting there is that the next year you would spend another $50 on other games as well as the $50 you spent on that previous year. Then the year later, you’ll spend another $50 on games released that year too. That’s why it’s such a good deal; over a period of two, three, four, five years you’re saving money overall with the subscription service instead of paying for games you want separately over that same period of time. You are not paying for the same games again, you’re paying to play the new games released that current year.
Your math is wrong and you’re getting upset at Nintendo because your own math is wrong.
With Wii, 3DS and Wii U Virtual Console, I spent a lot more every year than the annual NSO subscription service overall. And now I don’t play my Wii or Wii U anymore, and rarely play my 3DS.
@HalBailman please do also cry about Amazon, Netflix, Disney Plus and subscription services too. Subscription services is just the current trend these days. I’d be paying much more for games on NSO overall if I had to pay for everything separately. So the subscription service is of value to me.
@DKing64 No. I’m going to proudly and openly support my love for playing SNK games along with everyone else. I will not be shamed into silence by the likes of you for being enthusiastic towards a new Fatal Fury game. I don’t feel one ounce of guilt for wanting to buy it. My purchase is the proverbial drop in the ocean for the owners. That’s why I say it’s insignificant.
@DKing64 ”They just choose not to give their money to billionaires who commit atrocities. Seems reasonable to me. How can you possibly not understand that concept?”
One person buying the game adds zero to a billionaire’s wealth and not buying the game reduces their wealth by zero. That’s not a naive or defeatist attitude, it’s simply the truth. So if someone wants to play the game, they should.
”if a large portion of people have a moral compass and choose to do the same then guess what, the company's bottom line will suffer.”
The only ones that would suffer will be SNK and the fans of their games. The owners will not suffer in the slightest. In this case, acting on one’s moral compass in such a manner is a worthless gesture.
@jake1421 I just know my place in the world. And my place is to not go fighting billionaires committing atrocities in Saudi Arabia. If they own a company that puts out product that I want to buy, I’ll buy it. I’ll let the people who do have the power, funding, influence and presence to fight them do so.
What I find naive is someone believing that taking a moral stand by not buying a videogame actually does anything of any worth. Saudi Arabia is still going to do whatever whether you do or don’t. It makes absolutely zero impact and such a moral stand is just pointless and ineffective. And no I’m not defending them, I just know that you not buying a game isn’t the critical blow against them that you want it to be.
@jake1421 Whatever the owners are doing is happening “over there” where we are not and not “over here” where we are. Let the people of “over there” deal with the atrocities that are affecting over there. What is happening “over here” is a new game is being released.
Really, you shouldn’t let every atrocity in countries you’ve never been to happening to people you will never meet affect your mental health. It’s not for you or I to change their ways; we have zero presence and zero influence in our ability to affect things happening over there. People should not lie awake at night worrying about things beyond their control and should instead focus on improving their own lives and the people in their lives. The world’s problems are not yours to shoulder the burden of.
If the game appeals to you, play it and enjoy it. That’s the extent of your impact as an individual upon whatever is happening.
@LikeWhoa Capcom can only afford to put out one single new fighting game at a time of their own IPs right now let alone buying the rights to fighting game series from other developers. Although I wouldn’t mind Capcom vs. SNK sequels being the only fighting game series Capcom put out.
@Lizuka You shouldn’t care about such things. Play the games you want to play because you like those games. Don’t let meaningless intangible reasons like you don’t like a certain owner, actor, writer, musician, developer or artist stop you from pursuing entertainment you enjoy. You can still dislike them and yet still enjoy the work they produce.
@Moistnado They did on Wii U but it did not prove to be successful so they had to change their tactics. If Wii U had sold more, maybe they would be selling crappy NES games for $5 like you wanted.
@JohnnyMind for what I said to have relevance as a spoiler, someone has to have completed the game to understand the context of what I said. I said enough for it to have meaning to those who know, and to be meaningless to those who don’t.

Those were terrible rough ports though. I wouldn’t recommend them at all. I much prefer the NeoGeo games on Switch.

GBC Pokemon Puzzle Challenge and Pokemon Pinball should have been added today too.
