Can’t say I’m against emulators given the way Nintendo handles its retro games access.

It’s pretty unfair to Microsoft that they are allowing Nintendo to use Banjo Kazooie but Nintendo won’t give them Donkey Kong 64 as an add on game for Rare Replay.

If using rental Pokémon is going to make the game much more difficult, I might have to resort to using save states.

I thought Nintendo said they are halting sales in Russia? The official Russian site was updated with Splatoon 3, Xenoblade Chronicles 3 and Mario Strikers. As for Advance Wars, I hope Nintendo is not waiting for the war to end to release it because it will not end anytime soon.

Jeff Grubb was spot on for Direct date and that’s the only info from him I would trust going forward. As for a Zelda focused Direct, no Zelda until the final minute. No Zelda GC ports or Metroid Prime. Unless he had proof for their existence sounds like he made them up. He was way off on his leak.

If they announce GB for NSO I hope they include GBA games as well and not wait another year to add them. Otherwise I will have to hold off on the Expansion Pak for at least another year.

@Friendly
I played the original on the Wii U and from what I recall you just run around shooting paint.

I personally don’t understand the appeal of this game.

I don’t get why they feel the need to delay a Direct. Worse tragedies happened this year, in May this year two major tragedies took place (Buffalo and Texas shootings) and nothing entertainment related was delayed. For some odd reason the passing of a royal who lived a long life of luxury and wealth is of a greater tragedy than the thirty some ordinary people whose lives were actually cut short and died suffering (Instead of peacefully at 96)is apparently more worthy of delaying an event.

@Mgalens
It’s unfortunate, I really hope Nintendo will change its mind on their retro games distribution. At least give Switch owners the option to buy the games offered on the NSO subscription and be able to carry them over to their next console without an upgrade fee. At this point, I would be happy if they add GBA and Gamecube to Expansion Pak subscription.

@FargusPelagius
Does it have save states?

Nintendo president Furukawa said he grew up playing the Famicom, I interpreted as a hint he would be very open to give fans access to Nintendo’s library of retro games. Instead we get slow drip of Expansion Pak subscription that gives one N64 game a month that we also got on the virtual console.

@DarthFoxMcCloud
Also if you have kids you will have much much less free time and money to enjoy on gaming.

Can we please get an official announcement first before hyping us for something that might not be announced? It’s bad enough there were multiple articles about Goldeneye’s announcement being imminent, we all know what happened then. It’s fine to release a poll on this but please wait for an official announcement first.

Is there a possibility for the rumored Fire Emblem game currently in development to be a remake of Binding Blade?

@BoostPower
If they do I would buy every release under it. I would love a Luigi’s Mansion, Pokémon Colosseum and Paper Mario Thousand Year Door on Switch. But the NES Classic line on GBA was a half effort that left out many classics such as Super Mario Bros. 3 and Kirby’s Adventure. The Gamecube classics line was attempted on the Wii under the motion control series but there were not many titles released for it. I hope you are right but I have doubts we will actually get it.

@NintendoByNature
I don’t know much about Jeff’s track record (Or Emily Rogers’) so I can’t tell if you are serious or sarcastic.

@XenoShaun
Laura Kate Dale is the worst. I’m still angry about her hyping up Mother 3 for virtual console on Switch back in early 2017. Any rumors she post I immediately chuck it into the trash/ fake info pile.

GBA games for NSO please!

55 tracks in 5 countries? Come on, spread them across 30 countries!

Just put most of the games from the 3DS and Wii U eShop on the Switch. At least add GBA and DS games to the Switch Online Expansion Pak so we still have some kind of access. As for actual Wii U and 3DS games they should be part of the expansion subscription on the Switch successor.

Why couldn’t the virtual console games just carry over to the Switch eShop? Not everyone wants a subscription to play a fraction of the virtual console titles under NSO.

@Krambo42
How likely will it be for Sunsoft to release a Looney Tunes compilation? I don’t know how willing WB is currently on licensing their properties.

@Yoshi-_
I was hoping for a new Mario, Donkey Kong game or a Metroid Prime remaster this fall.

I hope we get some more first party Nintendo games this fall. It looks pretty bare bones so far.

@Dragonite89
I wish Nintendo could tell us why they haven’t ported the GBA Pokémon games.

Any chance of a celebration of some kind for Ruby and Sapphire’s 20th anniversary?

I panic preordered despite not understanding why I’m charged over $20 for shipping on Amazon if it’s supposed to be the US version.

What? My preorder says release days 9/27.

@Vyacheslav333
It’s odd that Nintendo Russia site was updated with Mario Strikers and Fire Emblem Warriors Three Hopes for Switch after Nintendo announced they were suspending their operations in Russia.

In the meantime Nintendo continues to release new games in Russia and operate its business there while fearing a backlash from releasing Advance Wars.

Still waiting for that Zelda Wind Waker and Twilight Princess HD release on Switch that Grubb said it’s coming out.

Given the huge amounts of remakes and remastered games from both Nintendo and Square, I’m surprised they haven’t gotten together to remaster or remake Super Mario RPG yet.

I wish we get additional spin off Mario games these days other than just Mario sports and party titles like in the early 90s. I’m surprised we haven’t gotten a new Mario Paint game yet.

Master race is not a good title, sounds like something from “Mein kempf”.

Did he throw away all the boxes?

Why was this game never re-released?

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.

Does Nintendo usually air a regular first party Direct a week after the Mini Direct?

Cancer is the most evil villain of all. The world must do a better job in its long war against this disease.

Enough rumors. Already posted rumors of Goldeneye and Banjo Kazooie announcement that was to take place yesterday and never happened.

@RareFan
No Goldeneye either. These “leakers” need to stop.

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.

They should do the free pizza for Cowabunga Collection too.

I ordered the physical release of the first game last year and still haven’t received it yet.

Nintendo and Sony need to release new mini consoles as well.

@NotArmani
Me too! How likely will this happen?

@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.

Here’s the million dollar question: Will we ever get a real Banjo Kazooie 3?
