Ugh, not a delay if everyone just invented the initial rumor...

This looks great, pretty amusing that it's a real NES game, but then they did an HD-remaster on it too...not sure which version I'd want to play now.

Hard to top the Link's Awakening remake on Switch

Okay, deal, I'll cancel my Amazon preorder and change it to Best Buy to get the cute acrylic stand, like they gave out with Sonic Superstars. I miss Best Buy giving out plushies with each new Disney movie release though...and soon I guess I'll miss them selling physical media at all.

I imagine it'll be OLED and hopefully 1080p at least, and that rumors are just that.

And it's not even April 1st...

Nope, no, see, I subscribe to Nintendo Online with the Expansion, and it's so annoying how the first time you launch each of the emulation apps it checks online for your subscription, limiting where and when you can play them if you haven't in the past week! It's nice we get all these games included, but the online requirements get to be annoying, especially on a portable console I often play on my commutes without any internet. Same goes for the Mario Kart DLC, which I'm tempted to buy outright just so my Mario Kart 8 doesn't also have to dial in and check every week before it launches. It's much better to own the game, especially physically, and have it work fully offline. Then I can share it with friends or family too.

Bring back Charles Martinet's Mario in Real Time, which somehow was a better demo than this...even if it was from like 1991

Yay, I've been wanting to pickup We Love Katamari REROLL + Royal Reverie Special Edition! Also Jackbox 10 might be fun before the holidays...

Looks better than it did on PS4/360 though, so you also have to compare with how this game has always looked and ran in the past... dropped frames might be the engine too

Maybe boss fights should be separate stages AFTER each level instead of tacked on the end of the level, so we could skip them or at least, just retry them without having to go through the entire level. Really, that's when I stopped playing, I got stuck on maybe the second boss in the game, tried for 2 days, and then moved onto Mario Wonder and haven't gone back...

I've almost never used the YouTube or Hulu apps on Switch now, but I do see the appeal of having decent, modern streaming apps on there, especially when I take the Switch with me on a trip and hook it up to a hotel/airbnb TV.

As I say at every new cup announcement, are they ever going to add previous themes into the in-app store for those of us who missed a few previous ones?

I'm really enjoying this game, and am up to the lava section, but have no idea what a "heart point" is, I guess because I've only been playing offline? Anyway, shows you the way games should be released, mostly perfect the first time.

I'm the oldest of three brothers, and while my younger brother has a Switch of his own, our middle brother does not, so I'd pass it onto him along with some of my physical games I've already beaten. But it would be great if current games transferred over and even if the carts still worked as I haven't necessarily played/beaten all of them! Would be EVEN nicer if it could output even old games at 4k or something with patches/updates

But can it turn on the Switch from sleep mode? Are the joysticks Hall-effect? Also, why hasn't Nintendo ever licensed out or allowed anyone else to make controllers with HDRumble?

I love WarioWare games, but am turned off by requirement to use joycons and motion controls, like WarioWare Move-It, especially since I don't actually own any other joycons cept the ones that are attached to my Switch all the time, so makes this less appealing as I can't play multiplayer either without buying more joycons

Since this is by the developers of Rime who NEVER updated the Switch version or added the ability to invert camera controls on both axis, I'll ask this important question: Can you invert camera controls for both Y and X axis in this title?

Wouldn't an N64 Classic that actually rendered games at 1080p or 4K blow this out of the water?

How does one pick between new Sonic and Mario games both coming out next week?! Or really, how does one find the time!

I'd totally play that if it was an unlockable or bonus for beating the game...

It doesn't need to, but if it did, I'd sell or pass my Switch down to my brothers or daughter for them to enjoy, while if it's not backwards compatible, I'd keep it around for all those games I bought and haven't gotten to yet... might also make me less likely to buy as much digitally next time around.

I LOVED Horizon Chase Turbo on Switch, and have been fully enjoying Horizon Chase 2 on Switch as well, despite a few lil hiccups, as mentioned here. I will say the developers are already aware of the button prompt bug as well as performance issues and have already promised patches are on the way. Considering how well they supported and kept updating Horizon Chase Turbo before this, I'm more than happy with my early purchase and I expect to only improve with time. The game is very fun and reminds me of early Need for Speed (1 and 2) titles and other 3D racers from the 90s, and with a fantastic soundtrack to boot!

STILL haven't added most of the past few themes into the shop to buy with coins if you missed the tournaments :-

Twitter link won't load for me, shocker...was there a photo of this franken-console?

Ah, now I can vote for Horizon Chase 2, which I've been enjoying on my commutes this week!

Hardly a fair comparison, esp with how good it looks on the native 3DS system in 3D. I loved this game, but again don't feel the need to revisit when I never beat the 3rd yet

Niiice, I just finished Me and the Professor, and loved it, will keep an eye out for this release!

No mention of Horizon Chase 2, which also launched this week and was a day-1 buy for me after enjoying Horizon Chase Turbo. Also, what about F-Zero 99?!

There are so many games on my list to buy right now, but this one is a day-one instabuy after how much fun I had playing through the first game.

@AG_Awesome I think this is why I never kept playing too, hopefully for Switch they have better camera/control options to allow for inverting BOTH axis if that's how we roll

Developers got differently-colored Gamecubes? That's what I'm learning from this...

Wait, how does it work with Switch AND Steam Deck? Switch has USB-C on the bottom, Steam Deck's is on the top...but in both cases, the fans/vents are on the top so you can't just put one in upside-down.

Is it just me or are the remastered cutscenes kinda terrible looking and barely animated?

So sad, an end of an era as I really cannot imagine these characters with any other voice! I hope he recorded for Wonder so we get one last game with him...

I used to have a MegaJoy all-in-one-controller-emulator that hooked up to the TV and had various ROM hacks among all the NES roms, one of which started you here and it always confused us to no end.

FINALLY! still can't wishlist it on the eshop though

That the physics are wrong makes the SNES versions all terrible when compared to NES, because changes in music and art are fine if the gameplay remains the same...which it does not

Niiice, if at least they sell the ROM I could play it on my Bittboy or something...but hopefully it comes to Switch in some form

Seemingly anyone who already owns the original version on Switch will somehow get this version for free, but they haven't announced how that works yet...either way, excited!

Still waiting on some themes I missed being offered for tickets...

It's absurd that signing a 10-year agreement should be enough to justify the merger when they could just start being anti-competitive after 10 years. I think we've all seen what happens when a gaming company gets too big ::cough:: EA ::cough::

How could they accept an 10-year deal when obviously they'll still own the company in 10 years and THEN can just start being jerks and making everything exclusive anyway?

At least it sounds like the games run NATIVELY and won't need an internet connection to stream the gameplay...right?

Sounds like him to me...but has reality ever stopped internet trolls?

Considering how great and unappreciated Super Princess Peach was on DS, I'm all for another Peach side-scroller adventure!

So they fixed the game and made it how it always should have been sold...better late than never I guess

This looks so incredible...just wish it was on the eshop so I could wishlist it and keep track until release easier

Glad I didn't buy any of the DLC...though I hope Tetris 99 will live on!

I could go for a new top-down Zelda, even using the amazing Link's Awakening engine...
