@-wc- I still routinely check for a price drop on physical version, hasn't budged

Continuing with Skyward Sword after clearing the first major temple, loving it so far. Surprisingly started a new run of Ghosts n Goblins Resurrected on knight mode. Brutal but very fun and rewarding when I advance

@Anti-Matter you should be able to get this for a discount at a later point based on other capcom collections, if you change your mind

Curious if there will be a more deluxe physical version in Japan like they did with the Street Fighter 30th collection.

I used to play a couple of these like crazy on the ps1. Definitely picking this one up, hope the online scene is slightly robust for a while

I'm all about this!

@Anti-Matter I myself have played many online hours with friends and otherwise. The NSO games themselves are not ones I necessarily want to own (like how many more times do I need to play Donkey Kong Country?) But they're nice to have handy and I've tried many that I never played but would not have purchased if they weren't on NSO. I get the argument from many standpoints though, I've just gotten a lot of value from my time from it.

Do repros/bootlegs often get a kickstarter at all? I know they're prevalent but didn't know people did KS for them, especially with extra rewards. I'm naive about this stuff

@Noelemahc at least for reviews, I think they isolate the game at hand from surrounding, non-gameplay issues. Rereleasing may be bad business but nothing further, in fact the changes are listed as a positive. Which is slightly different (I think) than when Nintendo re-releases are given 'cons' like they offer little content if you own the original version. I'm likely wrong or off course but I tried

Unfortunately don't want to read too much in order to preserve my own experience, but that's awesome they're putting out a new game. Gris was really well executed and to hear their newest will be just as impressive is terrific

Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword. Got it at a good price randomly and now I can put the 'should i get TTYD, SMRPG or Luigis Mansion 2?' debate on hold for a while. Have a great weekend folks

I wanted to like Banana Mania but it became increasingly luck-based and I grew uninterested. I did enjoy it at times but I'll likely pass on this unless the reviews are overwhelmingly posititve

@Beetlebum91 i see what you mean, but then it's like why even get on these Nintendo sites n such to begin with? NL soapboxes have writers reflect on games they play, sometimes it feels like on a molecular level. How many quirky ones from Kate n Co. have we seen on random subjects? Figure at some point they'd catch a topic of finding representation in a game. Idk I'm def not arguing, just random thoughts, don't think it's that far out there for a topic imo

I haven't previously played many of the titles getting re-released so it's a bullet I'm willing to bite every once in a while. I'd maybe be in the other boat if I already played them so I get that side too.

@The_Pixel_King yeah they always copy n paste from the wrong one. Heres what famitsu says (according to g-translate):

7th place (previously 5th place) Switch Minecraft 4,189 copies (total of 3,537,779 copies) / Microsoft Japan / June 21, 2018,

8th place (previously 9th place) Switch Super Smash Bros. SPECIAL 3,875 copies (total of 5,513,822 copies) / Nintendo / December 7, 2018,

@Spider-Kev I stand corrected, thank you. So yeah, price entering 'bonkers' territory for me

I went down a rabbit hole to see how much one of the western Lego sets I had sold for in 1996. Msrp says 84.99 (i thought it was 99.99), which I believe makes it +/- $170 now. Nothing to sneeze at. So based off my very narrow thinking, given that this is a two-fer of a Nintendo product (although a tad paltry? Looks great though), I guess I can see where they got this price from. But ouch, that'd hurt the wallet

Tactics Ogre made it easy by just using 'reborn'

@TheBitBandit I'm like that too, but there's a ton of content in Stardew that you might not catch or be able to pursue in your first playthrough. I would recommend just jumping in if you're in the mood, but I respect the wait

@nessisonett I just call it Twix

@Masze I love super challenging games but for me mario vs dk really is a fun one. Even when it's apparent what the next step will be it's still fun to go through the motions. Music is fantastic as well. I play in small doses so it's been a great complimentary game to more in depth ones

@DashKappei I didn't want to watch too much of playthroughs online for fear of spoilers, but in terms of the gameplay - are there puzzles or games at some point you have to interact with to progress? I've never played a VN and this looks up my alley

This is cool. If this is the final update then I could see myself doing a playthrough later this year. Seems like lots of new content n fixes since my last play a while back

Nothing too heavy - Mario vs. DK (loving it), splatoon, street fighter and I randomly beat Magic Sword on the Capcom arcade last night. Have a good one, folks

Super Metroid Tactics for gba is a neat little spin

@Anti-Matter we are all gamers in the end, no matter the console!

The 1-2 Switch and Wario I disagree on. Those almost sound like Nintendo giving orders thru the titles and the exclamation point emphasizes that order. But some of those others are silly - Snow Day? Haha

No Yeti from Skifree?

@Friendly I have an XS and am probably one of the few who doesn't use gamepass on a regular basis just because of my playing habits, but it really is a good deal for games I wanna be 'one-n-done' with.

I'm not surprised but do wish Illusion of Gaia was on switch (along with plenty others listed above)

@Tyranexx I love how it's always like 10-16 purchases, rarely dips below or surges above this

I'm curious how to take the Mario vs DK sales. Not that I expected a huge slam dunk like many of their releases, but overall, what's the expectation/how does this stack up to other similar caliber releases from N?

@WheresWaveRace you brought up a few things, but the one about ppl keeping their devices and games is one thats crossed my mind

Finished Metroid Dread this week, really impressed and looking fwd to future playthroughs. I'll stay on the lighter side this wknd, I picked up Mario vs DK yesterday and will be mixing in some Splatoon and Devil World on the NES-NSO.

@JohnnyMind sure, thank you for the reminder and tips. I figure it won't push the limit of my patience or anything but I love DK puzzlers and even enjoyed the demo, despite those levels being a breeze

@JohnnyMind love to hear about the game's later levels being challenging. I was on the fence on getting it before but after watching a little on YouTube and comments like yours I will be picking it up this weekend or next

I think the absolute final time he updates this, if ever, is when I'll jump back in. I did pretty well with my first 2 runs, but then i got a glimpse of Kate Gray's awesome farm or whoever at NL wrote a recent piece on it and felt like i never 'went for it.' Great fun all the same (and yes a minor time slowdown would be sweet)

Probably worthy of a mini review but curious NLs thoughts on Golfinite on switch. Always down for a (good) old school mario golf-like game. Edit - I haven't played this so maybe was wrong article to comment on

@-wc- vague goalposts that constantly move and allow for the speculators to never be wrong over the course of months (years?) is the name and laughing it off as silly nonsense is my game

@Ralizah very well put.

@chiiizu I played M3 before Earthbound and it was no problem for me whatsoever. Definitely some references or whatever from EB but it didn't matter.

@johnedwin not sure I agree with nintendo sitting on money, I mean they opened up the theme park stuff and were involved with the Mario movie. Maybe that's not enough for you? (not being sarcastic)

I'm incredibly on the fence with this one. Short length is okay, I'm just curious how easy it is. Not that I found DK94 to be crazy hard, but even easier than that? (its the last dk game ive played). Guess I'll get the demo n see

Finally started Metroid Dread this week. Really liking it so far after fearing I'd he underwhelmed

@Solomon_Rambling haha you're right, pardon any snarkiness from my way.

@Rambler yeah you'd have to keep saving and only go back to your most recent point, if I remember right. Not too fun for certain Lost Levels

@GoshJosh no I hear ya and youre right, I didn't mean to start some autosave debate or anything either. My original comment was intended to be more about the fact that 'I read the article and it still sounds like they xyz", but then I gave a half opinion about autosaving (which was unnecessary). Idgaf either way, let's go autosave, happy gaming

@GoshJosh I mean as a 5 year old human I had the presence of mind to save Mario All Stars, World, etc. before clicking the console off. Just doesn't seem that hard/big a deal

@Solomon_Rambling imo then they should say "manual save function is convoluted" as a con. But the actual con and the review just complain about manual saving in general because they forget to save the game. Idk what to say to that - don't forget? Like that's not much of a con if the option is there and you simply forget to do it? Unless I'm misunderstanding something

Great review, really glad to hear the puzzles are fresh and challenging. Already on the wishlist, may give it a go soon
