Let’s stop this already. This has been going on for years on the rumored Metroid Prime remaster and still nothing. We are still waiting for that Goldeneye remaster and Zelda Wind Waker and Twilight Princess HD on Switch.
@Silly_G I would love a physical release of the all the older Pokémon titles too but knowing Nintendo they will most likely re-release each title for $10 digital like they did for Gen 1 and 2 on virtual console.
I’m begging the Pokémon Company to port the original Pokémon Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald and Fire Red/ Leave Green to Nintendo Switch. I missed out on playing these games in the GBA era.
I tried playing the first KOTOR and got lost on where to go/ what to do at the beginning right after getting off the ship. Anyone else had the same problem? Does this game also have places where players tend to get stuck?
@westman98 The one leaker who has no credibility I know of is Laura Kate Dale. I still remember how she claimed Nintendo Switch will have virtual console and Mother 3 will be released on it back in 2017.
With so many companies releasing retro game compilations, I wish Nintendo would release compilations of their games. Sure we got select compilations like Super Mario 3D All Stars but it’s meager compared to other developers’ compilation offerings.
@Olmectron That’s good to know, but I guess that’s only good while we still are able to redownload our purchases. I really hope Nintendo will add a purchase option for retro games on their Switch Online subscription with the option to download our purchased games on older console for free like what Sony just announced. But given it’s Nintendo I have little expectation that they would do or even consider this.
@Knuckles
Compared to Microsoft and Sony, it’s terrible how Nintendo handles purchased games carried to the next system. Basically if my Wii U dies everything not only from the Wii U but the Wii die with it. Nintendo’s competitors allow users to redownload purchased games on the next generation console without forcing the content on the previous console to be deleted. It’s unfortunate our purchases from the Wii U cannot be carried over to the Switch, basically typing all paid downloads to the fate of the console they were purchased on.
Speaking of Russian Ukraine war and Advance Wars delay, Nintendo said a few months ago it will suspend sales in Russia. Yet Nintendo Russia website has been updated with new upcoming games including Mario Strikers for Switch. It looks to be business as usual for Nintendo of Russia.
I am very very behind. Haven’t watched new episodes since first season. I want to eventually watch every Pokémon episode but will take me at least 2 years to catch up.
@Krisi
I do miss the earlier decades where games don’t just have unique regional artwork but manuals and maps (And guide books sold separately) as well. The only major great thing about modern game releases is the simultaneous launch for most major titles. I remember having to wait months for Paper Mario, Pokémon Gold and Silver and Zelda Majora’s Mask to come out after the original Japanese release.
@shoeses Mother 1 was not translated a few years ago. It was translated around 1990 and the planned western release was cancelled right after the translation was done.
@ReaperMelia I definitely plan to play the 3DS and Switch Fire Emblem some time soon. I enjoyed the GBA and DS games. Right now I’m working on the original NES Fire Emblem released for the Switch.
I’m frustrated that other companies make their classic games available to download but Nintendo keeps most of them only available as a subscriber to access on the Switch.

Re: Nintendo Direct Mini To Air Tomorrow, June 28
Does Nintendo usually air a regular first party Direct a week after the Mini Direct?
Re: Fire Emblem And Pokémon Voice Actor Billy Kametz Has Passed Away

Re: Rumour: Nintendo Direct To Take Place Later This Month
Enough rumors. Already posted rumors of Goldeneye and Banjo Kazooie announcement that was to take place yesterday and never happened.
Re: Rare's Banjo-Kazooie Is Rumoured To Be Making A Comeback

No Goldeneye either. These “leakers” need to stop.
Re: Nintendo Expands Its Switch Online SNES Service With Three More SP Titles
I miss the days NES, Super NES and Game Boy games were found in stores brand new. Now it’s difficult to even find used copies for good prices.

Re: Soapbox: Mother 3 Isn't Sad, It's Hopeful
I guess Mother 3 to Western gamers is what Startropics games are to Japanese gamers. But apparently no Japanese gamer cares about Startropics.

Re: Rumour: Here Are The Supposed GBA Games "Tested" For Switch Online So Far
@rushiosan
I don’t see why not. They put the first two gen games on VC. Maybe the Advance Pokémon games will be purchase only?
Re: It Looks Like Nintendo's Game Boy Emulator For Switch Online Just Leaked
Any chance Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald and Mother 3 will be among the games?
