Why don’t they give us the option to preorder at this point? They know most of us want them and a lot of us are getting to the point of boycotting Nintendo because of these constant oversights. I feel like if we are paying a premium rate, we should at least a place on a list to get one.
I’m hoping it’ll be part of a compilation release. This year is James Bond‘s 60th anniversary. Every 10 years we get a box set of James Bond movies. Maybe this year they’ll include James Bond games. There’s something cool to think about.
I will get the steam deck to install windows on it that way I can play the Nintendo games that Nintendo should have released on the switch. There are so many modded retro games that are better than anything Nintendo has re-released. I kind of want to get the steam deck in hopes to make Nintendo sweat a bit.
@dougphisig I can second that. Although, it’s exhausting being a parent and everyone definitely deserves some leisure time. That being said, SOME parents abuse this idea and use it to keep their kids out of their hair to the point where kids are raising themselves. It’s one thing to have a pass time but moderation is best with not just games but with everything. That’s the only way to appreciate. How can you appreciate anything if you’re only doing one thing. Anyway, I digress. I just want to say, stay random. That’s the spice of life.
@Exy I disagree with your statement about 7 million units being defective. Unless you are being facetious, there is no way 7 million units can be defective because Nintendo has only sold 1.5 million worldwide. I think the concern shouldn't be so broad because there are only a handful of videos in that compilation out of 1.5 million units sold.
However, I think the concern lies with the amount of views on that particular video. 7 million views potentially means 7 million people are convinced that the Switch is a flop and may result in a sales drop. Perhaps we should all look at that video and consider how to work around the issues.
What bothers me most about this, is the fact that it wasn't really addressed. So, a guy threatens to blow up Nintendo... Did anybody really care to ask why?
I think one of the best memories I had was finally getting the "invincible" cheat! I loved getting all of those cheats! It gave me a sense of achievement to have a full list! Most of the time my friends would ask me to get the cheats for them on their copies! Good time! I hope they're bringing that back in the new one!
I think Nintendo should have something where you can download all your VC and WiiWare titles at once, like a "download all" button in the "Titles you've downloaded" area. I also think that the Wii should be able to send Nintendo your save data automatically to back it up. I find it kinda sucks that whenever I have to format my Wii sometimes, or if I ever had to send it in for repair, I lose all of my save data that I couldn't back up on an SD card. Why are there games like that anyway? I like the online service that microsoft has on the XBox 360, however I don't like that I have to pay for it.
Happy Anniversary!! I literally go on your site at least 4-6 times a day to see what's new! Every morning as well with a bowl of cereal! Keep up with the good news!!
Yeah, I definitely want to see Star fox for the Wii. I could care less about Kid Icarus. Why, all of the sudden, does Nintendo want the okay from their fans? Nobody has seen pit in years! I think if Nintendo wants the okay, they should do it anyway. They let tons of third party people put crappy stuff on their console all the time! Why would Nintendo be scared to try something new, especially now!
I think retro controllers would be cool to get. Like a redone N64 controller where the joystick doesn't wear down. That way, people who like to play N64 games, they can play it comfortably like they were intended. On top of that, nintendo could then release more N64 VC games.
One word "crap". You're telling me that we have to spend over five hundred dollars on Nintendo games just for nintendo to give us a stack of greetings card or a stupid binder! Pretty lame! That's like less than a ten dollar value!
Donkey Kong 64 (N64) Super Mario World 2:Yoshi's Island (SNES) Mario Party 1-3 (N64) Super Mario Kart (SNES) Super Smash Bros (N64) Star Fox (SNES) MORE N64 GAMES "PERIOD"
I would say that Sonic and Knuckles would be the best thing for sega to release on the virtual console, and Virtua Racing as well! Those games are awesome!

Re: Switch Online N64 Controllers Were Restocked Today, Did You Get One? (North America)
Here’s an interesting thought. What if Nintendo is scalping their own product to up their profits? They wouldn’t do that, would they?
Re: Switch Online N64 Controllers Were Restocked Today, Did You Get One? (North America)
@Vriess Don’t worry. Scalpers will get Europe’s controllers too.
