@Clyde_Radcliffe The Way Remastered is a great game, but some of those puzzles later on in the game are super hard and frustrating. Even with the help of youtube videos, I struggled.

Umm. Why would be people want this? It goes inside the Switch never to be seen. To look cool when you have multiple cards, I guess.

I wouldn't mind replaying Angry Birds on Switch. I think Sega wants to concentrate more on cell phone games with this purchase, but hopefully they will still bring Angry Birds over to Switch.

They could do another Mega Man Collection and include all of these, and call it "Extra", "Mishmash" or "Mega Man Leftovers" or something like that.

And somehow EA will still manage to bring a legacy version to Switch.

It has been 5.5 years since Mario Odyssey was released. Time for a new one. Knowing Nintendo, it will be released on Switch 2.

I went through a time when I was buying DVDs and Blue Rays several times each month. Then I realized that for most movies, I only watched once and that's it. Stopped buying them. If I really want to see a movie again, I will check my many streaming services first, and if not on them, I will just rent it. Funny thing is that it is very hard to resell these DVDs these days. Not many buy them anymore.

Wouldn’t it be better to wait for the remake and play the best version?

I am in the midst of playing Link’s Awakening Remake for Switch for the first time. Never played the original but wow, this game is awesome. Brings me back to the SNES and NES days but so well modernized. Nintendo should remake more of their games exactly like this game. I only played a couple of Zelda games in my life. This game makes me want to play more Zelda games.

Great games but love these “sales” for $40. Got to give it to Nintendo, they figured out how to make players pay full price years down the road making these evergreen

I would say 2017 was the highlight. If Nintendo releases another huge title at end of 2023, with the new Zelda this year, 2023 will be the best year. Otherwise 2017 would be the one

For months, I played Vita without realizing that the analogs were clickable. Made games so much more difficult. You think I would learn my lesson when I had PS3, where I also had this very issue. Also, when I first got PS3, I would just shut it off in middle of game, not realizing that I was interrupting game saving and corrupting them. Thought the PS3 was broken. Felt pretty dumb when I figured it out

Nintendo should be ending the year with a release of another blockbuster game: something huge like Mario Odyssey 2. Maybe even announce Switch 2 this year, that will be able to handle those Call of Duty games. That coupled with the new Zelda, they would have a killer year.

Come on Nintendo. We know that Mario movie is coming. We had a Direct for that already. How about a Direct for a new Mario game instead. It is about time for a new Mario game.

Not the popular option here, but they should just end credits all together. That's what the resume is for. Ok, maybe credit the big players, but I don't need to know who cleaned the toilets during game making (embellishing here a bit).

I will wait 2 years for it to get a big discount sale….. for $40. 🤣. I have a huge backlog and don’t need to play games on day one.

Interesting to see everyone fervently defending Nintendo here on the price hike.

Physical game owners are like VHS movie owners and music CD owners refusing to go digital. Those movie and music mediums have left physical behind except for the small holdouts. Surprised it has taken this long for video games to catch up to those other mediums.

Maybe announce something like Mario Odyssey 2 to coincide with the upcoming movie?

Whatever the future Nintendo console is, I want it to be able to play Switch 1 games. I want to keep that library. Maybe not the cartridges but definitely the digital purchases.

How are Mario Kart 8 and GTA5 still selling. Doesn't pretty much everyone already own these at this point?

Playing Borderlands pre sequel on Switch and Kena on PS5. Kena is amazing.

Commodore 64 collection would be nice.

I think a Simpson's collection of the older Simpsons games is needed. And remaster of more recent Simpson's games like Hit and Run.

I would argue that if you take away Zelda and all the cloud based games, that 2023 looks kind of bare for AAA games

Very excited, but these better not be cloud versions.

What are some upcoming collections? Any rumored ones?

Sony targets over 18 crowd, while Nintendo targets under 18. For every Zelda or Bayonetta , there are tons of games like Kirby and Mario aimed at the younger crowd. It just happens that a bunch of adults happen to like these games. I bought Switch to play games like Borderlands because I like to play games on a handheld. Prior Nintendo consoles had less adult aimed games like Borderlands. Honestly, I got a Switch because PSP and Vita were the last handhelds aimed at adults and there is no competition until Steam came in . I do love the Switch quite a bit though. Sony is competing with Xbox for that over 18 market while Nintendo owns under 18 and also the Vita handheld owners that made the jump over due to lack of handheld competition.

So, this confirms that that most of the best Wii-U exclusives are now on Switch. No need to want a Wii-U anymore. Now, Nintendo needs to port or remaster more Wii games.

I thought that black Friday sales were traditionally only in US the day after Thanksgiving. Has the world copied this day after Thanksgiving tradition?

Simpsons PS3 version and Hit and Run are my favorite Simpsons games. Would love a remake remaster of those 2 games.

This is one of the highlights from the Direct for me.

Can't even buy the digital, only rent through the service? Sigh

Eww, cloud versions. No thank you.

I had a Wii before and Switch is my second Nintendo console, so I never got to play these. So a big yes for me.

Such a high price for 2 old games. For that price, it should be 10 games in the collection.

Where is Willy Beamish, NHL and Third World War for Sega Cd? Wishful games for me. Is the loading improved for the Sega CD games?

Wow, a 10 from Nintendo's biggest fan club website. I am sure it is not biased at all. 😜. Have not played Xenoblade series, but it is on my future playlist.

I remember playing "Third World War" non stop on Sega CD. NHL 94 CD and Sonic CD were also amazing. So many fond memories of Sega CD.

The negative impact of Covid is that no one wants to work anymore. I work in an office type of a job, not video game related. Everyone wants to work at home and people can't even make half the numbers they used to do, while working from home. Restaurants can't find people willing to work and have to close some days during the week due to staff shortages. I imagine that all employers in other sectors are dealing with this. This is in US, probably Europe as well. I do want better work life balance and I am all for it, but people got lazy during Covid.

This is considered modest? Really, I think most of us are borderline homeless if this is modest.

Hopefully there will be Borderlands 3 and I still dream of an NHL game on Switch

My hopes:
Mario Odyssey 2 announcement
Bayonetta 3 coming out this year
Metrioid Prime 4 surprise drop later this year. Metroid Prime Trilogy available this month.
Actual Persona games, not some spin offs.
a huge 3rd party game (like Witcher 3) that is not cloud based, maybe Borderlands 3 Complete Edition.
Mass Effect Trilogy
NHL or Madden would be nice.

whether Michael is guilty or innocent, I think Sega decided not to use his music for a game that targets kids. They wanted to avoid that controversy but still created it with adult gamers.

Why we want an announcement of Silksong? We already know it is coming at some point. Release date announcement does not have to be part of this. I want them to spend more time to announce games, not talk about games we already know about.

Physical release only? That's a big fail.

Wasn't Wii version inferior to PS3/Xbox versions? Those had better graphics. I played it on PS3 and enjoyed it. Why remaster the inferior version?

So some of these games are already in Sega Genesis classics Collection and some as stand alone as Sega Ages releases. Sure we get Sonic CD and Knuckles one, but very underwhelming collection. Should have had way more Sonic games from other consoles.

@Specter_of-the_OLED I actually like the new look.
