I can't believe people still play this and buy the ridiculous cash shop crap with how often they do ridiculous updates or adding (recently) 2 boxes containing the same items but 2 different prices.
I gave up on this game within the first month. The currency you could buy (I forget the name) was priced where buying larger bundles would cost more than the lowest bundle. It was ridiculous so I knew then they were scammers.
Hahaha... also did I mention, Hahaha. Thisnsounds like such a scam and will be a hard pass for me. I'm so sick of battle passes and microtransactions in these AAA games that now cost us $90 for normal editions and $120-130 for "deluxe/ultimate" and then they still want more money?!? Haha ya they can go eff themselves! This crap is slowly turning me away from gaming, which socks because I've gamed since Atari 2600 days and love it, but this greed and bs is getting beyond ridiculous now.
This is awesome, but they NEED to add the Genesis games as well. I still have the original Genesis game (box and manual) in great condition but I would love to buy this collection from LRG, but only if they add the Genesis as well.
@TheBoilerman same. The fact the physical copies sold out within minutes of going live at a stupid time that most weren't awake for, they lost oit on me buying this for my Switch.
I only buy physical so their loss, not mine. I played all these as originals through my childhood so I'm not actually missing anything.
I almost bought the physical but decided to hold off. I am glad now that I didn't buy it. Such a shame because I was looking forward to this one. Maybe digital only on a very large discount but not full price or physical with a score like that.
This "limiited" crap for the normal copy is absurd and ridiculous and companies need to stop doing this making normal copies limited and exclusive to their own stores!
I won't buy this digitally so Square has just lost business by limiting the amount they produce and sell. That and allowing scalper a**holes to grab them all up needs to end. I refuse to buy crap from scalpers as well. I'm sick of the way this industry is going. F U SQUEENIX!
@Savage_Joe Ah the updated Ark re-release finally came out? I heard about it, but didnt realize it was already released. Glad to hear it runs better than the OG, and now Pokemon SV.
This means their may be some hope these games may get fixed to an acceptable level.
@broskiplays To you and anyone else saying this is the Switch hardware being outdated are ignorant and have no clue what you are talking about because it has nothing to do with the power of the Switch, and everything to do with incompetent developers.
Zelda BotW being 5 1/2 years old still looks better than this mess of a game, and runs flawlessly.
The Witcher 3 also looks and runs better than this game on the Switch's hardware.
Those are just 2 prime examples that prove the problem is on the developers side, and not the Switch's hardware. This game reminds me of the terrible Ark port on the Switch. Sure the Switch won't run Cod:MW2 but this game is ugly as F*** and could have been just fine if the developers knew what they were doing.
I love and hate nintendo. They're incompetent, that or just very anti-consumer.
Here in Canada, bayonetta is still on stock at Best Buy for example so not an issue here but overall I find nintendo loves to add to artificial stock shortages to increase demand.
This as an example in the UK.
Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Collectors Edition that all got snagged by scalpers.
Amiibos that get snagged by calpers but let's say scalpers didn't exist, they still don't put enough stock out for demand. So if nintendo won't release enough stock they need to stop targeting those who are making their own amiibo nfc tags for example. I can't buy these, I won't pay scalpers so put more stock otherwise I'll make my own so I can get the in-game bonuses.
NSO N64 controllers as well are another example of this BS.
Anyway, a bit off topic but piont is, ninteod is incompetent and anti-consumer to create demand that they can't even meet.
Bunch of idiots! They've pushed me away, especially since I got my Steam Deck. I'm done with amiibos that I can get, done with C.E.'s (especially since here in Canada we get screwed and get almost none of these) and any game that I can play on Steam Deck I'll buy on Steam instead of my Switch.
Nintendo, I'm going to cancel my pre-order soon and forget about this game if it doesn't release soon.
Their will always be war so by your logic you will never release this game? I mean COD is more intense and graphic than this in its depiction of war and that is still releasing on time. This didn't have to be delayed for so long and who knows how much longer.
No HD rumble or NFC or wireless is just dumb and like the original = no buy! Hori was once great, but these again are useless. The price is also too high and shouldn't cost more than $30 considering the lack of features.
Too many, but if I HAVE to pick one, then it's my mint condition (original) Lunar: The Silver Starfor Sega CD complete with the foam insert.
Never got rid of it but I traded my N64 stuff at one point and biggest regret because I had everything mint with box and book and wish I never traded it in. So from then on I have never traded anything and was even more glad I didn't trade/sell my Lunar Sega CD.
F U Nintendo! I'm effing sick of this stupidity and your incompetence! Also sick of these scalpers who need to all die in a fire... effing scum of the earth!
I'm done with this stupidity trying and dealing with this crap for every single limited edition game... especially when we actually get them in North America, since we seem to get screwed compared with editions they get in Europe. They just need to make these in numbers to cover more pre-orders so it's not so limited which will slow down scalpers and the extent of how expensive they resell it for. Give more people a chance FFS!
Never thought I'd say this but I'm done with Nintendo too, gonna sell my Switch and stick to PC gaming and not have this disappointment on losing out on Collector/Limited Editions always getting picked up by a**hole scalpers and being sold at 3-5x the price. I'll just enjoy my Steam Deck and be done with this s**t! Even the N64 and Genesis controllers get scalped and can never buy those so f**k it, I'm done!
So many garbage games have been remastered but one of the best games (especially from that console generation) hasn't, yet it keeps getting stories written up and talked about that it should, someone needs to listen and finally remaster this game!
How many times Sega has done this with Sonic, and sonic origins being an overpriced POS, yet this game has never seen a single remake or remaster? This is beyond ridiculous and just needs to be done already!
I still have my GC copy in mint condition and may just need to hook up my GC again to give this another go since it seems we'll never get the HD remaster this game deserves.
@Bizzyb Just the way Limited Run Games versions are. Usually though the put games up a year or more after release if they sold well enough (look at Doom Eternal coming next month from LRG) so this pre-order going up now is decent so I'll take it lol.
Beside, you know what they say... good things come to those who wait. We'll it's what I also tell myself haha.
Can't wait for my physical copy from LRG to eventually arrive. Pre-ordered the Radical Edition to go with my pre-ordered Limited Edition copy for the Cowabunga Collection.
Ya I splurged, but it's TMNT so I was able to justify it... within my own mind anyway LOL.
I'll believe it when I see it. Got fooled by the game in 2018 at launch and couldnt believe how terrible it was. Thankfully Best Buy let me return it even after it was opened when I explained how garbage the game was.
I won't be stupid enough again to buy this game. Glad to hear they're fixing it though... or attempting to so many years later so we shall see.
Tried my neighbours copy a few months back (he likes it, oddly enough lol and tried convincing me to give it anorher shot) and it appeared to have had 0 updates so I didn't bother.
We can get ports of The Witcher 3 running on the Switch but they can't make this run smooth all the time? What a joke! Lazy incompetent idiots. I won't buy this just out of spite.
@JohnnyC I know how you feel. I made the wrong decision getting rid of my N64 to get the GC so I've kept everything GC onward.
As to the point of the article, anyone who believed the Wii would self-destruct has to be quite stupid. Seriously, how can anyone be dumb enough to fall for that?
I won't download it because I'm never going to buy this travesty! I had the physical edition pre-ordered but as soon as the game launched and all the bugs and issues being reported, Rockstar has now lost me as a customer forever! I won't buy this and I won't be buying any other rockstar games ever.
This was just absolutely unacceptable and there are so many other great games and too little time so this helps me narrow down my list by never buying and worrying about another rockstar game from this point on.
@CurryPowderKeg79 Same, just cancelled my physical pre-order. What a joke! We get Saber Interactive who gives us The Witcher 3 running on Switch but these incompetent idiots can't get 3 much older games running?!?
Lazy cash grab and nothing more it seems. I wont even buy this trilogy elsewhere, I'm just not touching it period at this point!
Wanted 2 since I have 2 nes and 2 snes controllers so intend to keep up and get 2 N64 and 2 Genesis. I'll buy genesis when I can get N64 at same time. Saves my wallet I guess for now if I have to wait for 2022. I'm not getting the Switch Online expansion tier either since its a rip off, so no biggie as this is more just for collection sake.
@Ogoalie30 I'd have paid $10 each, would be cheaper in the long run. The plan expansion tier is more than double the price for such small offerings. It's not worth the value (well lack of value) for that price. I'd be much happier buyi g those games at $10 each and not having to shell out $50/year to play them. It adds up quickly year after year. I'd have been fine with a $10 increase for single and $20 increase for family but to more than double (25 and 45 respectively up to 64 and 100) is absurd.
I'll buy the ACNH dlc and stick to the low tier and I'll dust off my N64 and games instead of paying this. Unless I can find 6 more people to join the family membership then I'll pay at 12.50 each but not $50 each.
@Teksetter Oh sorry per month, I misread and was thinking per year per person... my bad.
If it's 4 people or more then I'd be fine with it but as it stands for a single person or for only 2 people like my situation either way it's just an absurd price for what they offer, especially in comparison to Sony and MS so not that I can't afford this, I just refuse to pay it because it's just not enough value for my money.
As for your suggestion, ya I may have to go see if any friends want to sign onto my family account and do it that way because I would love the N64 games. Gotta ask around and see if I can find 6 more people LOL then I justify paying when it's $100 divided by 8 per year lol.
@Teksetter
I'm sorry but where do you get $7/mth? Family is $80 USD/$100 CDN so divided by 4 that's $20/$25 depending on currency. If you have 4 or more people then sure I can swallow that price but family is only 2 of us here so basically family price still equals the single price each and for the little bit that they offer, it's not even close to being worth a slightly more than double the price now.
@Ogoalie30
Ya ok and then after that first year you're paying another $25 for ACNH DLC year after year so in 3 years you've paid $75 for ACNH DLC then by your logic and excuse. Their is no justification for this price point Nintendo has set for the little bit they are offering. Tell yourself whatever you have to so you can feel better about wasting your money but no reason or excuse justifies this price hike of just more than double. It's absurd and Nintendo has finally lost it and gone over the deep-end with their stupidity.
I've been a die hard loyal Nintendo fan since the NES and this is making me reconsider even keeping my Switch and supporting them. Once my Steam Deck arrives I may just get rid of my Switch and say goodbye to Nintendo forever.
-Now, can I afford this price? Sure.
-Do I think it's reasonable or justified for what they offer? Absolutely not.
-Will I pay this price? NEVER!
@Chibi_Manny
PS and XBox are on such a higher tier of quality and value for your money. Xbox I think is monthly now but PS Plus last I had it (couple years now) it was a yearly same with Xbox but Xbox changed when Game Pass Ultimate came around which is a far better value so worth the monthly cost.
Those both offer much better games thrown at you free per month (Xbox you keep the games even if you end your subscription) and PS Plus only while subscribed but both also then offer discounts on their respective game shops and a far better online experience. Also, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate let's me stream Xbox games on my PC and phone and play a huge selection of great games included with that price (Doom, Halo, Forza, MS Flight Sim, etc...) so it makes this plan by Nintendo a huge and total rip off!
Nintendo slightly more than doubling just because they added N64 and Genesis is NOT worth the price and the ACNH expansion I can buy one time and not have to worry so that DLC does not make the additional price justifiable either... at least not after the first year is done that's for sure.
PS and Xbox gamers get value for their money. Nintendo is just screwing us over with this.
Sure the family plan is good if you have 8 people to include in it but for me it's just 2 of us and $100 CAD is ***** absurd for the little bit they have added. I'll keep my current "low" tier and just buy the ACNH dlc if I decide I want to play it.
At this price Nintendo needs to up the online multiplayer BIG TIME and add much more value otherwise $64/$100 CAD for single/family so I'm sorry Nintendo but go ***** yourselves!
496BloodWolfe6:25pm I love Nintendo but this price hike is effing absurd! They can just eff right off with this, more than double the price just for genesis and n64 games? ACNH dlc is a one-time purchase so I'm not subscribing to this ***** expansion to "save" on dlc. Year after year its cheaper to buy the dlc and stay on the low tier so I'll keep the cheap tier, buy ACNH and save my money. Not worth it just for n64 and genesis games. I'll buy an emulator on my phone for $5 and play there instead if I really want to.
I'd pay at most $20 more per year for the family plan (and that's still too much imo) but going from 44.99 (IIRC) to 99.99 just for this is insanity and nowhere near worth the price unless they start including dlc for all first party games.
If they think they can compete with ps plus or xbox then they are sorely mistaken with the little they offer for such a steep price. Keep pushing customers away Nintendo, because I've always been a big supporter even though you do some stupid things but this is pushing it and I'm about ready to walk away, especially once my Steam Deck arrives.

Cloud versions can go sich a d***! F U Squeenix! Refuse to bring most games physical to North America forcing us to import for those who prefer physical and now this? This is a 100% NO if that's how this is gonna go.
Excessively shiny things like this look tacky and cheesy so this, imho, is pretty darn fugly. It's cool and all in the sense it's rare and is a NGC that can watch dvd's (for its time) but I loved the Gamecube because it was just built for gaming which is what I want a gaming console for.
@IceClimbers I was thinking the same thing about the lack of Ori.
I'll be buying the OLED and selling my 2nd model Switch. I play 95% handheld and sure, it wasn't the upgrade we all wanted/hoped for, but it'll still be nice with that screen.
@sanderev ya but it's $2000 is just the screen, then $1000 for the controllers and another $1000 for the consoles body. So we're looking at $4000 all in which sounds about right for crApple lol.

If it's 4 people or more then I'd be fine with it but as it stands for a single person or for only 2 people like my situation either way it's just an absurd price for what they offer, especially in comparison to Sony and MS so not that I can't afford this, I just refuse to pay it because it's just not enough value for my money.
As for your suggestion, ya I may have to go see if any friends want to sign onto my family account and do it that way because I would love the N64 games. Gotta ask around and see if I can find 6 more people LOL then I justify paying when it's $100 divided by 8 per year lol.

@Teksetter
I'm sorry but where do you get $7/mth? Family is $80 USD/$100 CDN so divided by 4 that's $20/$25 depending on currency. If you have 4 or more people then sure I can swallow that price but family is only 2 of us here so basically family price still equals the single price each and for the little bit that they offer, it's not even close to being worth a slightly more than double the price now.

Ya ok and then after that first year you're paying another $25 for ACNH DLC year after year so in 3 years you've paid $75 for ACNH DLC then by your logic and excuse. Their is no justification for this price point Nintendo has set for the little bit they are offering. Tell yourself whatever you have to so you can feel better about wasting your money but no reason or excuse justifies this price hike of just more than double. It's absurd and Nintendo has finally lost it and gone over the deep-end with their stupidity.
I've been a die hard loyal Nintendo fan since the NES and this is making me reconsider even keeping my Switch and supporting them. Once my Steam Deck arrives I may just get rid of my Switch and say goodbye to Nintendo forever.
-Now, can I afford this price? Sure.
-Do I think it's reasonable or justified for what they offer? Absolutely not.
-Will I pay this price? NEVER!

@Gryffin
Same! I pre-ordered the top model and regardless of price it was an easy decision and I can't wait to get my hands on it.
Re: Switch's N64 And Sega Genesis Controllers Are Now Up For Pre-Order
@Sourcecode
Same here. The NSO expansion price is absurd and these controllers are absurdly overpriced as well, especially the 3-button Genesis controller.
Nintendo is really really going over the deep end here ffs!

PS and XBox are on such a higher tier of quality and value for your money. Xbox I think is monthly now but PS Plus last I had it (couple years now) it was a yearly same with Xbox but Xbox changed when Game Pass Ultimate came around which is a far better value so worth the monthly cost.
Those both offer much better games thrown at you free per month (Xbox you keep the games even if you end your subscription) and PS Plus only while subscribed but both also then offer discounts on their respective game shops and a far better online experience. Also, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate let's me stream Xbox games on my PC and phone and play a huge selection of great games included with that price (Doom, Halo, Forza, MS Flight Sim, etc...) so it makes this plan by Nintendo a huge and total rip off!
Nintendo slightly more than doubling just because they added N64 and Genesis is NOT worth the price and the ACNH expansion I can buy one time and not have to worry so that DLC does not make the additional price justifiable either... at least not after the first year is done that's for sure.
PS and Xbox gamers get value for their money. Nintendo is just screwing us over with this.
Sure the family plan is good if you have 8 people to include in it but for me it's just 2 of us and $100 CAD is ***** absurd for the little bit they have added. I'll keep my current "low" tier and just buy the ACNH dlc if I decide I want to play it.
At this price Nintendo needs to up the online multiplayer BIG TIME and add much more value otherwise $64/$100 CAD for single/family so I'm sorry Nintendo but go ***** yourselves!

I love Nintendo but this price hike is effing absurd! They can just eff right off with this, more than double the price just for genesis and n64 games? ACNH dlc is a one-time purchase so I'm not subscribing to this ***** expansion to "save" on dlc. Year after year its cheaper to buy the dlc and stay on the low tier so I'll keep the cheap tier, buy ACNH and save my money. Not worth it just for n64 and genesis games. I'll buy an emulator on my phone for $5 and play there instead if I really want to.
I'd pay at most $20 more per year for the family plan (and that's still too much imo) but going from 44.99 (IIRC) to 99.99 just for this is insanity and nowhere near worth the price unless they start including dlc for all first party games.
If they think they can compete with ps plus or xbox then they are sorely mistaken with the little they offer for such a steep price. Keep pushing customers away Nintendo, because I've always been a big supporter even though you do some stupid things but this is pushing it and I'm about ready to walk away, especially once my Steam Deck arrives.

Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting The "Cloud Versions" Of Kingdom Hearts On Switch?
F*** NO! I will NEVER buy/play/support this "cloud" bs on the Switch like this. Give me a proper port and on physical cartridge or get lost!
Re: Three Kingdom Hearts Games Are Coming To Switch, But They're All Cloud Versions
Cloud versions can go sich a d***! F U Squeenix! Refuse to bring most games physical to North America forcing us to import for those who prefer physical and now this? This is a 100% NO if that's how this is gonna go.
Re: Tencent's New MOBA Pokémon Unite Has Surpassed 9 Million Downloads On Switch
I have no intentions to ever download this game. As soon as I heard it was a "Tencent" game I knew I wouldn't want to play it.
Anything Tencent will ALWAYS be a hard pass no matter what it is.
Re: Gallery: Is The Panasonic Q The Most Goshdarn Beautiful Nintendo Console Of All Time?
Excessively shiny things like this look tacky and cheesy so this, imho, is pretty darn fugly. It's cool and all in the sense it's rare and is a NGC that can watch dvd's (for its time) but I loved the Gamecube because it was just built for gaming which is what I want a gaming console for.
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Looking Forward To Playing On Switch OLED?
@IceClimbers I was thinking the same thing about the lack of Ori.
I'll be buying the OLED and selling my 2nd model Switch. I play 95% handheld and sure, it wasn't the upgrade we all wanted/hoped for, but it'll still be nice with that screen.
Re: Streets Of Rage 4 DLC And Physical Edition Release Dates Confirmed
Great to hear but I already bought it
from Limited Run Games, more specifically the Classic Edition, so I'll stick with that.
Re: Rumour: Get That Salt Ready, Apple Is Reportedly Working On A Nintendo Switch-Style Hybrid Console
Apple is overpriced garbage. I'll never buy an apple product.
Re: Rumour: Get That Salt Ready, Apple Is Reportedly Working On A Nintendo Switch-Style Hybrid Console
@sanderev ya but it's $2000 is just the screen, then $1000 for the controllers and another $1000 for the consoles body. So we're looking at $4000 all in which sounds about right for crApple lol.
