@Bunkerneath at least the Bud Light console was also a projector, and really, it's a computer inside. Also beer seems more like what you'd have WHILE playing video games, vs fried chicken, but maybe that's just me
A Final Unity is really the best Star Trek game I've ever played...would LOVE an HD remaster of that, using all the existing audio files but I guess re-rendering all the cutscenes and updating the graphics, which might be impossible or at least as much work as the Lucasarts adventure remasters.
I'd be way more into this if it allowed for split-screen multiplayer for 2 or even 4 people on one console, especially if then you could go online with them. If I cannot play with my wife, or bring her online with me, why bother?
If it allowed for downloading content to watch offline, it'd be A LOT more attractive...if I'm sitting at home, connected to the TV, i'll use my Chromecast with Google TV over this always
Hopefully sales are good enough for maybe a full HD remaster of Sam and Max Hit The Road like they did for Monkey Island 1, 2, Grim Fandango, and Full Throttle
I agree with this, I'm all for a more-linear racing game where I pick races and race them rather than having to consult a map, ask for directions, and hope I find where to start a race, and then get lost along the way because the game in no way tells me where to go during the race ::cough::Burnout Paradise::cough::
They should sell other karts, so you could get Yoshi or Peach, etc...maybe even have some way to buy a second kart to play split screen multiplayer on ONE console...
FINALLY, all games need proper button mapping or camera inversion options to allow for inverting BOTH X/Y axis independently, I'm so tired of games that don't bother. Though equally, it's frustrating when a game doesn't have good sound settings, like Star Wars Racer where you cannot adjust the sound fx volume vs. music volume
Lately 100% docked, but back when I commuted on the subway, it was more split, but certainly the main selling point is the dual nature of the console, that it is great on the go AND in the living room.
Hmm, I enjoyed playing this one on WiiU back when that was the one and final EA release on WiiU before they abandoned the platform. I'd imagine this is a pretty straight port, of a decent game that I actually prefer over Burnout Paradise since at least it gives you an arrow and path to follow for each race instead of letting you just get lost like in Paradise. Still not sure about wanting to play a 10-year-old racer when they should instead just bring us the new NFS...
Considering it's literally 3 old game ROMs repackaged in an emulator that can run properly in 16:9 1080p (or just 720p for Mario 64) and then they want to charge $60 again, no thanks. It being a weird time-limited thing is also annoying and Disney-like of them.
Very excited for this, LOVED Horizon Chase Turbo and been enjoying their Playground events after having finished the World Tour with all Gold cups. Preordered after your positive review and hoping to jump in later
Now that there's Tetris 99 on here I'm not sure I care, I certainly barely play the original, and if so, it's to play Tetris vs. Tetris with my wife, never really got into the Puyo aspect as much
NO ONE SHOULD SUPPORT THIS RELEASE, or anything else that will profit Javier Chavez, a Nazi who crowdfunded the funds to buy the rights to Keen Dreams so that he could profit off ports to modern systems. Instead you should just download all the games for free online and play in DOS Box.
@techdude I have childhood memories of playing Circus Charlie too, but only emulated on a Super Joy we got from the mall and would take on vacations to plug into the TV...of course there were dozens of copies of it there, starting you on each stage to increase number of games.
They really should patch in the missing episodes later, also would be nice if you could swip the sticks in the control settings, but maybe I should try out motion aiming
@Priceless_Spork Okay, I looked through the PDF of the manual that Nintendo scanned/uploaded for the NES Classics and it makes no mention of this, though I do remember doing it as a kid, so word spread then too anyway.
I feel like I totally knew this from the start, was it in the manual even? Either way, no way my brothers and I could have made it through World 8 most of the times we tried without continuing from that world rather than starting fully over.

Re: Switch Owners "Most Likely" To Own A Rival Console, 2020 Study Shows
Nope, I mean, I have a PC, but my only real gaming console right now is the Switch...as the WiiU and Xbox 360 that won't boot don't really count

Re: Review: Among Us - The Lockdown Hit Finally Comes To Switch
I wish it had splitscreen for local play on ONE console, or even to bring someone online with me for a game
Re: Redout: Space Assault, Arcade Shooter Prequel To Redout, Blasts To Switch In January
Looks more fun than Starlink anyway, and might scratch that Star Fox itch better

Monkey Ball 1 and 2 please!
Re: Another Sega Double Pack For Nintendo Switch Has Been Spotted Online

Re: Review: Burnout Paradise Remastered - Thrilling Open-World Racing Tempered By Blurry Visuals And A High Price
Without showing a route or arrow for where to go during races I can't possibly blow that much money on this game again.
Re: Review: Pandemic - A Too-Simple Conversion That's Looking A Little Green
Damn, this is currently on sale, but without online that's a huge detractor for a multiplayer board game...
