Nintendo updated 1 game and YouTubers and gaming sites are cashing in.

LOL, this is becoming a pattern with Pokemon. Sounds like something on the publisher end needs to change.

@Joeynator3000 It's really for the Genesis games, those run perfectly. The N64 stuff is just kind of thrown in.

Everyone who can will still play it on Xbox though (it's on Gamepass).

If we had real journalists, they would push for more information instead of just repeating what the corporation says.

@NintendoByNature yea, kind of stinks the base owners are being left in the dust. Then again, I kind of get it. They want people to upgrade.

Your understanding and concern for the bottom line of <insert corporation name here> is appreciated. Good consumers always put the profits of corporations before consumer needs like getting a good value for their money.

@Valryu How does this play without n64 controller?

Plays fine with an Xbox controller...on an Xbox.

@Teksetter The notion that MS could buy Nintendo is still as laughable today as it was 20 years ago. 😂

I heard today that Microsoft just paid more for Activision than Nintendo is worth. Nintendo being worth about 60 Billion.

@Ocaz so youd call reggie fils aime a liar about this? Weird

PR Speak, nothing more. Nintendo is competing against Sony and Microsoft and it's silly to pretend otherwise.

@Ocaz Nintendo doesn’t compete.

BS, of course they compete.

This decision was made with a heavy heart for a multitude of reasons that we cannot disclose.

Isn't this where an actual journalist would push for more information rather than just take what they are told?

This looks like a game that started out as something else and then became a Kirby title later in development.

I see the gaming media has a new rumor to obsess about.

I just want to mention that not every game needs to be open world.

I think they need to stop announcing things so far out.

@Dualmask The SNES is my favorite game hardware design of all time (next to the Switch)

Gotta have that disclaimer in there. LOL

Remember when Nintendo thought that people would want to play 2 players in tabletop mode with these tiny Joycons? Remember when Nintendo thought this feature was worth sacrificing the D-Pad which would be so much more useful for NES, SNES and Genesis games than what we got instead.

@pilonium64 Once you played on a MiSTer, you ll reconsider the statement.

What statement? It's not like you quoted me so I don't know what you are talking about.

@IpwnedU123 "Imagine your car gets stolen but it’s still there!"

This is a fantastic way to put it.

@HeeHo who's doing that?

sanderev post #25

@HeeHo Grasping at straws is trying to compare a Ferrari to a copied video game.

So will the ISP's stop blocking these sites once the Switch is no longer current or is this going to last forever?

@sanderev

Can a Ferrari, Yacht or house be copied an unlimited amount of times with the original being left intact and available?

You can't compare physical products to digital products.

I just don't understand the point of talking about games that are a year or more out.

@PhhhCough "CRT is the only way to game". THOSE people.

Well retro games were meant to be played on a CRT without input lag and graphics smoothed out by the TV.

@HexagonSun I've been playing Earthbound on my Analogue Super NT on my days off. There really is something special about being able to play a game the way it was intended.

Well actually, it was intended to be played on a real Super Nintendo hooked up to a CRT.

@Burning_Spear Virtual Console doesn't have any effect on retro game prices. For example, Breath of Fire 2 has been available on every VC and it is available on NSO, it's still $80 loose. Shall we even mention Chrono Trigger, Earthbound, Final Fantasy 3 (SNES) all of which have been released multiple times across various systems digitally.

There is no solution to this problem, collectors pay alot and if they ever decide to sell, they want to atleast make their money back if they can.

@somnambulance We will get the Pixel Remasters on consoles sooner or later. As of now though, only the first 5 games have been released on PC and Mobile. FF6 is set to be released on Steam and Mobile in Feb 2022 so maybe sometime next year we will see the Pixel Remasters on consoles.

Chrono Collection incoming. Also a remake of Cross. Think of it like the Mana Collection plus the Trials of Mana remake.

Video game news

@Nintendoh Seems like a "you" problem, then.

What seems like a 'me' problem? Maybe you could quote me so I know what you are talking about!

<scrolling up>

I see, you think preferring buttons to touch controls is a rare thing?

@UglyCasanova But because it will be on a console and not your phone, then it becomes somehow..better?

Yeah, buttons matter.

Themes for pinball are like different colors on the same model car.

Glad those games were successful but I hope they don't take 'it's ok to ship an unfinished product' as a lesson here.

@nukatha They are probably better off letting Amazon take care of their server needs. Nintendo isn't the greatest at internet stuff.

@munstahunta Nintendo has offered drip feed in both the VC and in this subscription service. I honestly don't think there is anything consumers could do to make them release a collection of system specific games (like the Genesis Collection).

People can unsubscribe but it won't change Nintendo's course at all. Some companies are stubborn and then there's Nintendo that gives new meaning to the word.

@BAN Seriously, where the f*** is Banjo?

Gamepass?

People are pretending that the Wii, Wii U and 3DS VC's didn't have the drip feed. They had it and plenty of people complained about it. In true Nintendo fashion though, they decided to make it worse with every device instead of better.

They drip feed, then reset with each new device and restart the drip feed. It's pretty ridiculous.

Can you imagine the crazy amount of SD card space (your cost) they will take up fixing this game?

@MrHonest You can, buy the N64 cartridge OR buy it on the Wii U shop (was also on the Wii shop but you can't buy it there anymore).

@Burning_Spear No

ebay could stop scalping on their site and that would go a long way. You know, there are things that you can't sell on ebay so adding hard to find and overpriced game consoles and graphics cards to the list shouldn't be a problem.

The real problem is people who say 'but it's just Capitalism'.

@Rosona My point has always been that if you are used to looking at an OLED on your smartphone, you shouldn't be impressed by an OLED on a Nintendo Switch. Also that if any other company released a device with an OLED, no one would make a big deal out of it but Nintendo gets special treatment.

@CheekyZelda
Man, I wish they would stop bundling Mario kart. Give us a switch exclusive not a port, but I understand why they do it

Nintendo appreciates your understanding. Please look forward to the same bundle next year.

@Rosona Comparing an OLED screen to OLED screen is comparing apples to oranges?

@frogopus well, for one, I'm not really interested in comparing my $1k device with the $350 that i use for two different things

Ok but my point is that an OLED screen is not anything to be 'impressed' by in 2021 if you have been looking at one on your smartphone for years.

People just love to praise Nintendo for basic stuff that everyone has been doing for years. BTW, plenty of people game on their phones so don't start typing 'but phones aren't for gaming so it's not the same as the Switch'. Many games on the Switch are mobile ports.

On my fanboy scale, that's on the same level as people who say 'OMG, FF7 or GTA is finally on a Nintendo platform and that makes it worth the price' as if they haven't been playing those games on other platforms for 20 years anyway. You still play with an analog stick and buttons no matter which platform you choose.

@frogopus You don't think Nintendo gets special treatment that other companies wouldn't get?

Still, side by side, with both in my hands right now, the oled screen is much better.

...but is it better than your smartphone OLED screen and if not, why is it such a big deal when Nintendo releases a system with an OLED screen?

@rjejr Got a modern smartphone? It probably has an OLED. Are you impressed with it too? I think Nintendo could release cardboard and people would be impressed by it and say they had never seen such impressive cardboard before. Nintendo just gets that kind of special treatment.

As a collector I have the DS versions as well as the Switch versions. Therefore I see no need to worry about which version plays or looks the best. I can just play the version I want to play at any time.

Mwhahaha...

@NIN10DOXD Most of us are adults and can afford to buy a new game every few months. Also, you don't have to buy a game at launch. If you can only afford a new game every 6 months, you can still buy this remake and the new Pokemon game. I just don't get the logic of 'they are saving themselves for marriage' where marriage = the next Pokemon game.
