Lol this is only for the uk and Japan... Not the USA .

You guys should specify that in the article or title!

@BrokenCiv They are an entertainment company. Companies don't invest billions of dollars to just "dabble". The do games, movies, merchandise and theme parks.

@KoopaTheGamer Wii u did it without lag. Stadia did casting with minor lag to a chromecast. Maybe there is a chromecast type of device in the dock.

I hope its a "cast" button. Like wii u cast to the tv while holding the tablet in your hand.

PLEASE bring Frappe Snowland to Mk8d!

They had it on N64, DS, and tour!

@Heavyarms55 ok gotcha. However still, think about all the mario (mainline and spinoffs), zelda, metroid, animal crossing games in their back catalog... All of which are completely "theirs"... And that's not even including games like wii sports, play, resort etc (which could easily be ported to switch with motion joycon controls)... And nintendos...

Almost all the games I mentioned above sold exceptionally well... I believe if any of these games were re-released on switch... Nintendo could make a ton of money.

It's easily enough content to last them a few years in terms of release schedule. (A mountain of content lol)

@Heavyarms55 Small mountain? Lol... More like HUGE mountain. Nintendo easily has the most nostalgic, highly regarded, most recognizable games in the world.

While I agree with your other points it's important to remember that these are their games.... So it's their decision. I honestly think japanese culture is plays a big part as to why they don't "rake in the cash". Miyamoto makes less (way less) than any american gaming exec... Japanese culture (generally) puts emphasis on quality and less emphasis on profits.

@Highlar I think the "reviewer" are the ones doing the leaking... Reviewers already have the game and are under NDA by Nintendo. All the past "leaks" you hear about are from 3rd party companies that worked with nintendo in the past....

@Henmii for sure... But it appears that the rumors were true! So excited about 3d all stars!

@andyc777 lol.. and the rumors were true! So my logic was sound!

@Majer source? That used to be their target a long time ago... Ever since the ds and the wii they have targeted the casual market.

Look at any ads from wii, ds, or switch... Most are adults or teens playing the game... Not kids.

@Henmii And why do you think the rumor about the remakes/remasters is fake... THIS PAPER MARIO GAME was part of the same rumor being reported on by the same people lol...

Also Emily Rogers (a very well known leaker) confirmed it on Twitter: https://nintendosoup.com/emily-rogers-hints-whats-coming-to-nintendo-switch-this-year/

Super Mario 64 remake for the Switch!

@teamdave2002 So you think that if Nintendo wants none of their software to be re released that future generations should not be able to enjoy their games?

@teamdave2002 So what is the logic in having "lost art" (movies, books, games etc.)

As I said before, Nintendo could theoretically ensure that Mario 64, never sees the light of day again... I don't see that being a win for anyone... Nintendo or consumers.

I know its not a law, but IMHO if something is not available to purchase anymore it should become public domain. Hardware breaks.... If you have a NES game and your system broke... not much you can do at that point except buy a new NES off ebay... I would happily rebuy a product time and time again to ensure I still have access to it years down the road.

@teamdave2002 What good is that though? Why produce something if people can't enjoy it?

Going by that logic, Nintendo could never rerelease super Mario 64... And no future generations will be aware of the game and how it changed the industry.... Imagine future generations not being able to play Pacman or any other game icon...

The same could be said for books and movies... Once it's not produced anymore, how can one still enjoy it? Not EVERYTHING is sold on eBay lol. Think about all the good games, books and movies that would never be enjoyed by future generations.

I understand that it's the copyright owner's choice, however it's a dumb anti-consumer choice. It doesn't benefit ANYONE if Nintendo decides to leave behind great games that could be enjoyed by millions of fans.

@NEStalgia so in 99 years... Nintendo (if still in business), would allow anyone to use a game with Mario for free? And Mario is also copyrighted/trademarked... So does that mean that Mario will be free for anyone to use too? Lol

@Kalmaro So if someone 20 years from now wanted to play Mario Sunshine... And Nintendo does not sell the game on ANY system anymore... you think that they should not be able to play it?

WHO CARES ABOUT LOGOS OR 2 SYSTEMS TOGETHER!? THEY GOT RID OF THE VEHICLES!
