I'd wishlist this if it had an eshop listing...alas I'll have to remember to come back and look for it next month

Well, at least we know what game to void...

People who own it digitally on Switch 1 should get free upgrades...I did fully enjoy both of these and beat them, but not sure I'd pay for an update/upgrade at this point.

I have yet to buy a single game-key-card release, if that's what the physical release of a game is, I'll buy it digitally. In fact, I received a game-key-card for free and have yet to even bother inserting it and downloading the game because I either want to play something now, or I'm taking my Switch 2 on my commutes via the subway where there won't be service, so I'd have to sit there letting it download before I leave the house.

Free or paid DLC?

It's true though, I've preordered the Ocarina remake already, but have zero desire to even play GTA6, nor do I own a console it'll be on. The last GTA I played was maybe GTA2 on my PC in high school

Yes, this has always been my least-favorite dungeon, and is as far as I ever got on my save file on N64 as a kid. My brothers managed to beat the game, and I watched them do so multiple times, but I just hated this dungeon so much and didn't complete it until playing the game off the bonus disc on GameCube, or maybe on the 3DS remake.

@JohnnyC The NES Zelda theme is still my favorite of all the themes I've earned over the years, best music and I love the use of the graves for people who have been eliminated.

Ugh, why did they ruin such a nice package with a game key card?

Good, because it's a dumb feature no one should really use. It's like the awful motion smoothing frame generation defaults on TVs that I always 100% of the time disable across every app/input on every TV I use.

So is this the closest we get to a new Wave Race and Pilotwings then?

And this is why physical game carts are my preference, especially for single-player games.

I wish you could natively pair Wii-motes to the Switch 2...they're Bluetooth and would work perfectly for 8-player MK8 Deluxe, I even have wheels for them that I originally used playing it on WiiU (and MK Wii before that)

@Nep-Nep-Freak on WiiU it came out in January 2013!

Does the SNES one have an entirely unique soundtrack? I mostly played Sim Earth/Ant/City 2000 on computers as a kid, which all had good soundtracks too.

Is there going to be a separate Switch 2 version? I'm only seeing a Switch 1 listing on the US eshop so far...

How is this the first new GameCube game added to NSO since launch? How are there not any more GameCube titles on here? :-

I'm so glad they remembered they forgot to add ANY NEW GAMES to the GameCube app on NSO since launch basically. The selection is still abismal for a system that had so many great games over the years. How is it that there are currently more Virtual Boy games on NSO than GameCube titles??

Can't wait, and even if it's just a Switch 1 title, at least with burst mode we can enjoy it in 1080p in handheld on our Switch 2s

Somehow these keep being when we're outta town, luckily I can still earn it Monday night once we're back.

Red for me all the way since you'd have to remove the red filters to try the other colors, and they make the Switch 2's screen have inky blacks in default red mode...

Sounded more like they used AI as a reference, but that maybe nothing AI-generated will end up in the final game? That would be slightly more excusable though still dumb

Will this launch on Switch 2 also? If that's promised in the future rather than at launch, they're gonna see a lot of people just holding off and waiting, which seems silly on their part.

THANK YOU, Nintendo, this is all I've ever wanted since I missed only a few random themes that have not been offered up since!!

Any word on if this will be a "complete edition" or will still lock tracks behind paid DLC?

Nice, as always, wish they'd allow us to buy old themes that we missed, or have more events where we can win past themes. But I guess I'll be taking my Switch 2 on our road trip next month since the plan was to be outta town over this weekend.

I have no issues with the new style...just curious to see the rest of the game and what changes, if any, they're making. I've played this game on N64 at launch, GameCube off the bonus disc, and bought it again for 3DS. And we can emulate it on our Switch/Switch 2 systems in the NSO N64 app. So I hope this is substantially upgraded/changed to warrant a remake. Personally, I was rooting for a top-down remake of the entire game in the style of Link's Awakening/Echoes of Wisdom.

I love that it has the tweaks built in so you can scale that initial difficulty brick wall at the start, get yourself leveled up a bit, and then enjoy the game more. I'm still getting lost frequently and constantly repeating sections trying to find the next tower (finished one so far) but having game genie options easily built in makes it far more accessible and means I didn't just rage quit on day 1 never to return.

I want this for everything, everywhere, please...that said, I also hope that the EU law causes more removable batteries in products sold elsewhere, like the US, just because companies will hopefully not bother making different revisions just for the EU.

@Skunkfish Well, just means there's almost no reason to buy the physical over just downloading it off the eshop. You'll still have to download the entire game to your Switch 2, but then you'll also need the game-key-card inserted to play. The only reasons I can think of to want that over a digital purchase is to share it with friends, between systems, or to resell it alter.

So there are new musical stages, great, but are all the old ones still present as well?

Shut up and take my money...well, for the digital copy because screw Game Key Cards

Oh, nice, FINALLY a modern Tetris with normal Vs. mode and without Piyo and animé nonsense on top of it!

Oh nice, this is one of my favorite Zelda soundtracks

If these really have TRUE HD Rumble, I'd be impressed...hardly any 3rd party controllers for the entire life of the Switch bothered to support that

Not sure why they wouldn't have used Mike West, who has voiced Fox in every single game since Star Fox 64 including the 3DS remake, Zero, and every Smash Bros...he's still alive unlike the original voice of Peppy/Andros unfortunately.

Well, this looks absurd and great...will have to keep an eye out for it since there's no listing to wishlist yet

The ONLY purpose code-in-box and game-key-code physical releases serve is to allow them to sit on shelves at retail stores to be bought as gifts because it feels better than just giving them an eshop card to buy the game digitally. I can't really imagine any collectors care enough to have empty boxes otherwise.

Still hope they do another one where we can earn past themes we might have missed...

Please post about any updates, even if not to change the review, but just so we know it's a good time to try the game again

Aw, sweet, a new Moomin game!

So glad they offer a free upgrade pack, gonna upgrade my copy of Sayonara Wild Hearts right now

Always wished they'd add a Switch 2 update since everyone complained the graphics were prettier on PC, but I'm still gonna pick this up while I have the chance since the Switch port sounds almost better in how they streamlined it and removed some of the seemingly-annoying combat sequences.

Aren't the large goombas really a Giant Land (World 4) from Mario 3 reference?

So I would have, but now our daughter's 2nd grade class somehow convinced their teacher to take them as a class trip, so I may end up waiting to stream it.

In 6-player mode, does the X-Men Arcade Game expand to be widescreen, representing the two screens that were reflected up onto a mirror on the original 6-player cabinets?

I would totally play a top-down remake of Ocarina of Time in the style of Link's Awakening and Echoes of Wisdom. Also any new Star Fox that has a classic control scheme instead of the awkward WiiU setup that kinda ruined what might have been an okay game if I could have ever played it properly.

That's frustrating, especially since I prefer to buy single player games physically, especially 1st party Nintendo single player games :-

Sad, but also makes no sense, does it cost something to keep a game there and just not update it?? Plenty of developers never update their apps, and Horizon Chase Turbo actually received a lot of updates and DLC over the years, but nothing lately and runs great on Switch 2, esp in Boost Mode!

Plucky Squire, looks WAY better in boost mode, the text is crisper, and it's even possible to read it when outside the book now. Performance seems smoother as well. Glad I put it aside for a bit and can now enjoy it boosted!
