Still mad at Light_88 for hyping people up about Ruby and Sapphire coming out on October 8. It doesn’t matter if they apologized, they still got paid for generating views on the false info.
@Pillowpants I agree. But what bothers me is these “leakers” get people hyped and they just move on afterwards to probably leak more incorrect info. It doesn’t help that a bunch of websites promote these leaks from sources that don’t have a reliable track record.
It’s October 8 and looks like Light88’s “leak” is false on Ruby and Sapphire coming out today. Tired of these “leakers” hyping people up with what is likely made up information.
I wonder what’s going on with Pokemon Colosseum? It was shown as to be released on NSO back in April 2025 and a year and half later, there’s still no indication it’s coming out.
@Serpenterror I don’t think it’s necessary. The DS Mega Man compilation was released on the Switch earlier this year and the Castlevania Dominus collection was released two years ago as well. They could easily do the same for the DS Pokemon games.
@DollyrotsFan1 Thank you for the info, I didn’t know they planned to have Chloe appear in other Superman shows. That’s actually so disappointing because I really like Chloe in Smallville. I don’t think they should associate a character with the cast who portrayed her. I have to double check but I think OJ Simpson’s character was in The Naked Gun reboot.
@DollyrotsFan1 I will check out Legend of Chun Li at some point. I’m curious how close Kristin’s character resembles Chun Li. Although Kristin is half Asian, I always thought her character Lana looks caucasian in Smallville although in season 8 she looks more Asian. Interestingly, Kristin also played a Muslim girl in the film “Partition”.
@AussieMcBucket
I heard about Kristin’s involvement in Nxium but don’t really know the full details other than she joined it for personal development to overcome her shyness and left after a few years and was not aware of the illegal activities. I don’t think she was involved in anything illegal since the victims impacted would probably have come forward to confirm her role/ dispute her version of the situation.
I’m still shocked about Allison’s involvement, she seemed like such a nice person in past interviews.
As for Lana’s character, I enjoy watching her in every season (I admit her looks definitely was a major factor) although I was surprised of how her character has evolved, especially after marrying and leaving Lex. I remember feeling so sad watching her final moments with Clark when they were forced to separate in season 8.
@Krlozgod Agreed, I hope to meet both Kristin and Erica (and Tom as well) at the upcoming NYC Comic Con. Apparently there’s a big divide among the fans between two groups who either think Clark should be with Lana or Lois. Smallville is one of my favorite shows.
When I first saw the headline I was thinking of Kristin Kreuk. She also played Chun Li back in 2009. More iconically, she played Lana Lang in Smallville. I had an enormous crush on Kristin back when I watched Smallville although I haven’t yet seen Street Fighter The Legend of Chun Li.
@KayFiOS I hope we get Star Fox Adventures on NSO. I never finished the original release and will definitely give it another shot on the Switch 2 if it gets re-released. I hope Metroid Prime 2 gets released as well.
I hate to complain but it’s been several months since we have gotten a GameCube game. I hope the next GameCube game will be released next month. Been waiting for quite a while to play Pokemon Colosseum since the announcement over a year ago.
@KevinP I’m glad they are releasing these collections. I know they also have digital releases so I guess they will still have that once digital only consoles get released in the market.
@Grumblevolcano I hope GTA doesn’t delay DQM. Not really a GTA fan and really wanted to play the new DQM game since I love DQ5. I think it should come out this year given it’s the 40th anniversary of the original game.
2011 brought Us remake of Star Fox 64 and Ocarina of Time on 3DS. If the Ocarina of Time remake rumors are true, 2026 will be like 2011 all over again.
@jfp I live in the US and don’t feel bad at all for the average citizens here. They keep voting for multi millionaires and multi billionaires to represent them, reject government funded benefits as socialism (Taxes in the US are not low at all with federal, state, local, sales taxes. At least in Europe your taxes give you benefits like healthcare, in the US, the heavy taxes paid just get wasted) but they are perfectly fine with socialism for corporations. I don’t even bother to vote here since the politicians all serve the wealthy and every election is a choice between two parties that serve the wealthy at the expense of average citizens.
The Wii U’s legacy is its awesome virtual console library. If they allowed us to buy the retro games on the Switch 1/2 then I would say the Switch systems have the best retro games service.
@skycargav2000 I rather they re-release it as a remaster for purchase. As much as I enjoy the Nintendo Classics subscription, I don’t want the game and my save file to disappear when they eventually ends the subscription service.
Accessories like the Switch 2 camera went up in price after the tariffs announcement. In the case of Switch 2 camera, it was $5 and I think $10 for the pro controller. So if Nintendo is seeking a refund for the tariffs, not only should they refund that difference to the customers but lower the prices back to where they were before the tariffs were announced.
@Angelic_Lapras_King Hopefully R/S/E come before the 25th anniversary, especially now that Wind and Waves are not coming out this year. I would be very happy if they re-release everything from Gen 1-5, would buy every version like I did on the 3DS virtual console.
The recent datamine found compatibility with Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald so there is a high likelihood they will be released next. I would like to get all the main DS Pokemon games as well on the Switch but I assume the likelihood of that happening is much lower than R/S/E. I assume the original Gen 1 and 2 games will not be released since FR/LG basically are meant to be in place of Gen 1 and if they ever decide to re-release Gen 2 they will just release the DS remake.
@shoeses
Thank you for the advice. I guess I will buy one of the versions physically and get the other version digital during a sale. I will probably get the digital version on the PS5 due to Sony has a more consumer friendly policy with digital downloads (Allowing digital copy on more than one console whereas Nintendo having the virtual gamecard and Wii to Wii U upgrade fee on their virtual console games) and Switch games take up slightly less physical space than PS5 games.
I’m tempted to buy both PS5 (For the trophies) and Switch (For portability) versions. Does anyone else do the same? I really should just buy one version but don’t know which version to get.
I’m surprised about the complaints for this release. Didn’t for years people were asking for classic Pokemon games to come to the Switch and also many were not happy about the retro Nintendo games being locked behind a subscription? I get the complaints that this is one game with no quality of life upgrades and $20 seems high compared to retro collections like TMNT Cowabunga Collection or Castlevania Advanced or Dominus Collection. But we are getting what many were begging for during the past few years. It’s puzzling many say this is too expensive but doesn’t mind buying a drink at Starbucks for $6 or paying way more than $20 for other entertainment expenses.
For me, I feel $20 is worth it because I never played through the GBA Pokemon 22 years ago and $20 justifies the many hours of entertainment and memories I get out of it. I also want to support this release in hopes they will add more Classic Pokemon games to the Switch in the future.
I’m actually surprised at the criticism. For years people wanted the classic Pokemon games on the Switch and many (Including myself) were not happy retro games from Nintendo could not be purchased. Now we finally get one of the classic Pokemon games and there are so many complaints. Were there a lot of complaints when the Gen 1 Pokemon games came out on 3DS 10 years ago? I’m sure $10 price back then after inflation is close to the $20 today.
