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.
Wait, this is possible, that's awesome! Why doesn't Mario Kart or any other game do this? In fact, why can't you even msg ppl on the Switch itself in the least besides seeing when they're online?
Only way I'd play this game again on Switch is if they added a way to show the route above my head with an arrow or path so I know where in the world to go in each race.
Oh nice, I missed this on 3DS, though now I am thinking of charging it up and trying it out...or waiting for Switch, if only there was cross-buy, I'd buy it on 3DS today knowing I'd get to also play on Switch next month.
Tengen Tetris is superior mostly for the coop mode that has rarely ever appeared in any future Tetris versions other than the boxed retail copy of Tetris Party on Wii
No cloud saves is already a deal-breaker imo, but they must allow you to transfer it to another system...maybe it's okay I gave up Animal Crossing games for New Years many years back after being addicted to the DS version.
As many people have mentioned, anyone who just plays more matches will accumulate more points even if they're maybe not doing as well as someone who can't play ALL weekend, but did place well in the games they played in. I guess it would almost be more fair to set a point goal and then just randomly pick 999 players from those who reach that point level.
@XiaoShao That would be amazing, but first you'd have to resurrect Spectrum HoloByte, or hope Hasbro kept anything, and get the license. At least we have Star Trek pinball in Pinball Arcade (and Stern)
oh man, A Final Unity was one of my favorite Star Trek games as a kid, especially because it managed to be as fun as the 25th Anniversary and Judgement Rites games were, but in the Next Generation setting, with CGI cutscenes and voice acting from the entire cast. It plays like you're in control of an episode of TNG, which is exactly how Star Trek games should be. Would be amazing if they could somehow re-release it with improved visuals, or even just modern compatibility, but sadly not on any Nintendo system.
I enjoy the SPEED of the Switch's interface, and at least the all games list can be alphabetized, that's all I need. But it would be nice if we could organize into folders on the home screen, and also access all games from the start rather than the end of the most-recent list.
If they released 1 and 2 as a package or even digitally I'd buy them in a second...as it is, I supported this release and will gift it to my friend's son because Monkey Ball
This was the perfect thing to play with my brothers over thanksgiving break, as they had never played the game before, so it was a good introduction and meant we could all beat the AIs
Aww, why didn't he let the campaign play out, and maybe promote it more throughout the window? I was going to fund it, but had just saved it to come back to later because I was busy the day I first read about it...
N64 and/or Gamecube games next, but in a twist, running internally at 1080p 60fps so they all look much better not unlike the recent Virtua Racing re-release or how PCs can play in Dolphin emulator.
@Kalmaro Not really, patch data is much smaller than the full game, so that's all that will reside on your system after the update. And the entire playable game is still on the cart, so you can play it on multiple systems, lend it to a friend or sell it once you're done, unlike a digital copy.
However, in reading other people's comments, if there really is no option to invert both X and Y axis I might have to wait and not play this until there is. That is absurd, especially for Nintendo who usually has those options in basically every other game, Zelda, Captain Toad, etc. Only the terrible developers of Rime refused to ever patch an inverted Y axis patch in

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: Feature: Star Trek On Nintendo Consoles - Where Are The Great Star Trek Games?
@XiaoShao It is mentioned, but only briefly as it was only available on DOS and not on any Nintendo platforms.
