@Papasears1982 agreed. I recently finished BF/Rogue on Switch. Technically it's not the best version, but given the fact this can run in a handheld mode and I can play it anywhere... I don't care for performance stuff.
I know this is somewhat of a niche kind of game, but, I've spent so many hours (and still do) playing this game... To me, this is a true hidden gem and a reason to still have an N64 hooked on my CRT. But I understand this is not to everyone.
The things I don't care much will be gone. The things I like and I might be playing in the future, that I keep for sure. Legend of Zelda, for example, they are all here.
This is indeed a unique gem among the Indies. I've been playing since its launch and pre-ordered all of its DLCs. This is a thing that I usually don't do at all.
Hopefully, they'll be handling a new Castlevania game.
There are a few games out of this list that are definitely worth trying:
Cursed Castilla
Weapon Shop de Omasse
Retro City Rampage
Ikachan
Mighty Switch Force
Steamworld Series
Severed
Bit Trip Saga
Blaster Master Zero
Azure Striker Gunvolt
Shantae
Mutant Mudds (3D effects are amazing)
It's sad to see the end of a cycle of a platform I played so much. It is what it is, but I'll continue playing my 3DS for years to come - most likely because good games don't have expiration date.
I've been playing it on another platform, and all I can say is that the Devs continuously put their hearts into this game. This DLC is simply fantastic and is a love letter to everybody that likes MetroidVania and roguelike games. Everyone should definitely try it out.
Although I love Ocarina of Time and, to me, it's the best game in the universe, I voted City in the Sky. Its puzzle mechanics, environment, and boss fight are superb.
Pikmin 3, Smash Bros, Assassin's Creed 3 and 4, Batman Origins, Ninja Gaiden Razor's Edge, Monster Hunter 3, Captain Toad, Splinter Cell Blacklist, Shovel Knight and Nintendo Land right after
@Magician hopefully not. This game is amazing, and they keep pushing its limits. In a world were lazy devs release pitiful versions of their games and already charge you for expansions right at launch... Dead Cells deserves some love.
Seems like they're not accepting credit card payments... I want to avoid buying gift cards as I want to spend the exact amount. I guess I'm out of options...
Weirdest thing is that Castlevania and Mega Man have their own collections so... Or the leak is a fake, or they canned it on NSOL so Konami and Capcom could profit from their collections. Either way, I wouldn't expect much.
Unfortunately, IMHO, a few series these days don't have the same vibe as they did back then - which is the case for Mario Golf 64, Paper Mario and Starfox 64. Hopefully we'll be able to get new versions just as good these.

Re: Anniversary: Mario Golf On N64 Is Now 25 Years Old
I know this is somewhat of a niche kind of game, but, I've spent so many hours (and still do) playing this game... To me, this is a true hidden gem and a reason to still have an N64 hooked on my CRT. But I understand this is not to everyone.

Hopefully, they'll be handling a new Castlevania game.

Re: Review: Dead Cells: Return To Castlevania - An Intense, Brilliant Nostalgia Trip To Dracula's Castle
I've been playing it on another platform, and all I can say is that the Devs continuously put their hearts into this game. This DLC is simply fantastic and is a love letter to everybody that likes MetroidVania and roguelike games. Everyone should definitely try it out.
Re: Countdown: Wii U eShop Spotlight - Mario Vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars
I've played several levels, and this game's difficulty is very hard. Highly recommend it.

Re: Random: Bayonetta 3 Was Reportedly Planned To Be An Open-World Game
That's why I got the feeling that a few maps are bigger than usual for a Bayonetta game, and empty.
