@BoilerBroJoe oh HELL YEAH. thanks for this comment cause I'll definitely check those out then

I'd just like a gamecube controller for docked play in general. The pro controller is great (though kind of small), but gamecube is peak controller. I doubt they'd put GC games on NSO. Not when they can make so much money with remasters. I'd rather pay for physical copies of the remasters/remakes anyway

@johnedwin how dare they keep prices down while being innovative and improving user experience

Doesn't make a whole lot of sense. They're already failing at directly competing with Sony, now they want to try and directly compete with Nintendo (and steam deck)? They should probably focus on trying to sell the hardware they have. They certainly aren't going to be able to compete with the switch 2, after it's been out for a year or two, and with a dedicated handheld. Only way that happens is if they don't bring their games to Nintendo and Sony, and also get considerably more exclusives. I don't see that happening.

The gaming market has only ever been able to handle 3 main console manufacturers, and usually with 1 of them losing quite badly. This sounds like Microsoft wants to continue their trend of being the latter

Long live physical

Seriously though, subscription services are a massive rip off. Obviously I still have some, but I'm not happy about it and consider them a scam

@Ultimapunch I never used virtual console on my wii. That's a pretty sweet deal, but what happens if your wii breaks? Can you login on another one and you're good to go?

For me, I just can't imagine a Pokemon game being based entirely in a city would be fun. Sure there are the "wild zones" but that just sounds so weird. There's, small parks and abandoned streets for Pokemon? In the city? What?

Any console I've ever traded in was for very little money and I regretted it later anyway. Selling a system these days really doesn't make much sense.

They'll outsell the ps2. How wouldn't they? Its going to keep selling after the S2 comes out and it doesn't have far to go. Hell it could WAY outsell it if they really wanted to. I doubt they do though. Imagine a new version of the switch (switch micro?) That's really small, lower processing power, etc. Make it affordable and as portable as the ds and gba were. Or just knock down the price of what's currently made, and throw in some reduced price games....they could easily do it.

@Kingy what makes the snes version of Wanderers so bad? I was recommended it by a friend and it's only like $20 for an original copy. Looking around on YouTube, seems people are split on it. People who love Ys hate it, people who don't play the Ys games seem to be into it.

The rich people that would buy this don't deserve to be rich

@Dee123 yeah, much better for the devs to rip everyone off simultaneously instead

Thanks for the upbeat guide, but where's the acknowledgement of how absolutely ridiculous, predatory, and insulting this trade system is? You can't pick the cards you want in return, common cards are worthless and can't be traded, and you have to consume a bunch of rare cards to get 1 rare card back? Absolutely insane. Glad the other gaming sites are talking about it

Hunks of cheap plastic that'll be way overpriced and just end up in a landfill or the ocean.....wonderful

It's weird to me how so many people say the leaks ruined it for them.....why did you pay attention to the leaks?

Genki are liars, got it.

I love that everyone is saying they wish that Nintendo would just announce it already, because the rumors and "leaks" have gotten old. Seems so ridiculous. It's not Nintendos fault all these losers on YouTube and twatter are trying to make a buck based off nothing

"here's the machine translation, which is open to interpretation"

What exactly does this mean? Just curious. In a time of forcing AI on everyone, things like this sound weird and confusing

@Yosher personally, if I was in charge of Nintendo, I'd put off the announcement until everybody STHU about rumors and leaks about it.... but then again I'm incredibly petty 😂

Hasn't even been announced yet. Somebody's clearly a narcissist of they think they can predict things that specific, lol

@WrongChops snatches them up from who? The producers? Developers? They aren't all powerful. Be upset at the people selling them the rights if this is a real issue.

The only games I see them releasing are:
1. Games there was little chance would be released physically otherwise.
2. Games that have already been released digitally that aren't being released physically by anyone else.
3. Special editions of already physically released games.

Ugh.... why did I read this, lol

@LadyCharlie that was exactly my thought. Horrible decision on their part

This games helped me avoid social media. Got 5 minutes to kill? Great, I'll play this instead of Doom scrolling. It's perfect. Can't wait for more packs and trading

“largest technical leap you will have ever seen in a hardware generation” - that is a crazy claim, especially from Microsoft. You're telling me you're going to impress me more than going from the SNES to the N64? Nonsense.

Also, Nintendo will be fine. Nobody beats them with handhelds. They'll figure it out.

@WhensDinner I've bought over 20 games from LRG, and I don't get the hate either. Yeah, they take a while, but they give you time to order, then they have to actually manufacture everything. They aren't a big publisher, it takes time. Prices are fine, almost always $40 for standard switch editions. I've only needed to talk to customer service once, when a game didn't show up. Sent another one that day, no issues.

@WrongChops by....making games available physically? That otherwise wouldn't be?

@Milk_ logical fallacy. That's what everyone actually seems to forget about. The "argument" has been used for virtually every regulatory debate for the last century or more. Not only that, but it's a company doing this.... not a government agency.

"The slippery slope fallacy is an argument that claims an initial event or action will trigger a series of other events and lead to an extreme or undesirable outcome. The slippery slope fallacy anticipates this chain of events without offering any evidence to substantiate the claim."

@FRBA94 didn't excuse the mile. Simply pointing out that it's a logical fallacy. The argument that if they censor this, then they'll censor far more is ridiculous. There's probably less censorship now than ever.

@Samalik yes... clearly I'm the one whose pissed off and had their day ruined. Everything you just claimed is the definition of irony, and without any useful rhetoric. But I do hope companies stop censoring their products so you can enjoy more artistic expression.

@Samalik "give them an inch and they'll take a mile" is the same as the slippery slope logical fallacy. Terrible argument. There has never been a time in history where almost anyone at any given point can see whatever they want... who cares if a company tries to cover their a$$. They censured themselves.

@russell-marlow played them all, as they came out too. Snarky and teenage themed is pretty spot on. Maybe you haven't played the adventure games in a couple decades.

@Shiiva I could never get the hang of it. Bought it when it came out and finally sold it last year, lol. I would try it again every couple years though, so not for a lack of trying

@Daggot I'd say everybody does that. I know way too many people with massive collections of something dumb like funko pops and they live in studios. The collection obsession with some things baffles me

I love FR/LG and play through one of them every couple years on my SP. Can't believe how long it's been. Still remember late nights at my friends place or on camping trips Trading and battling. Good times.

@Mando44646 how do they "keep" you from playing them? They keep you from buying them? Owning them? I do not get this whole argument that if Nintendo doesn't make an old game available on a new system, they're somehow "keeping" you from playing it.

@Frailbay30 "Had the orignal vision went through..."

But it didn't...did it....
Its cartoon hedgehogs that are sometimes snarky and sometimes more "teenage" themed. Still aimed at kids. That book you wrote is way overthinking it.

Gotta say, I'm a little annoyed at how fun a game called pizza tower looks, lol

@russell-marlow it's a kids movie about talking hedgehogs based on kids video games.... not exactly screaming maturity.

@Serpenterror that's what I was thinking. Odd choice to make it a dumbed down version of 30 year old games

@DripDropCop146 "As to why the American original show was cancelled? Who knows."

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and guess that "Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog" didn't exactly have the same ring to it and cool factor as "power rangers" lol

VR troopers was awesome. Thanks for the reminder, I'd forgotten about it.

@WhiteUmbrella what does this even mean? It's literally a hybrid console. Oh no I guess I'm just a fAnBoY

Nintendo would be fools to not continue with the hybrid market

Pieces of plastic aren't worth nor should they cost this much, ever. It's plastic. That's it. Wtf

Doesn't make much sense to include collections.

Also seems like anytime these lists come out, if the newest game isn't in the top, everybody claims it's because of the "nostalgia factor." Sometimes guys, older games are just better, lol

I feel like Washington state would make more sense given NOA is in Redmond. Also in in Washington so it should definitely be here 😀

Never heard of these before. Looked them up and wow.....people really pay $40+ for a little hunk of plastic? Why?

@russell-marlow "if it wasn't for this, and this, and this, it would be bad."

Your poor waiters

Solid direct for me. I wish we were getting metroid 2 and 3 Remastered as well, but I can't complain about finally seeing an end goal for prime 4. And who knows, they could still drop them before its out. 2025 doesn't mean January.

@RetroGames something tells me you were the kid crying at their own birthday party huh

I heard it's going to have 3 screens, a slot for gameboy games, and smellovision!
