Uhhh what am I going to use as a mouse pad? My couch?

I paid $75 for the pro controller sold at Costco.

We should give Nate the Hate credit for being correct on Direct dates so many times. At least he doesn’t make up fake info like so many “leakers” do. Two of these immediately come to mind are whoever said they will announce a Pokemon Memories and Reminisce retro collection and years ago at Switch 1 launch Laura Kate Dale falsely reported Mother 3 will be coming out on the Switch.

I honestly wouldn’t get my hopes up. A lot of us were so sure we will get Metroid Prime 2 and 3 HD before Prime 4 and nothing was announced, even during Prime 2’s 20th anniversary last November. Final Fantasy 9’s 25th anniversary came and went with no remake announcement that so many of us were hoping to get. Zelda Wind Waker and Twilight Princess HD never came on Switch either. I would be pleasantly surprised but not counting on it.

I’m really going to just expect nothing for Pokemon Presents going forward, even for the next one on the 30th anniversary. The strangest thing is why they felt the need to announce this presents 2 months in advance.

@ThisisJosh
Thank you for the clarification. I will definitely start looking into the missions to earn more platinum points.

Don’t have enough points even though I purchased a lot of physical games and recently Switch 2 console. Are the points only for digital purchases? I don’t see any codes to redeem for points in my physical game boxes or Switch 2 console. I know back in the 3DS days they had the codes in the game boxes.

@Alienfanatic
I think both PD and B-K can be successful if they take the franchise into new directions. Zelda is now an open world game and instead of collecting triforce pieces or medallions. The new PD game looks like it is taking the series into a new and better direction. Although this attempt didn’t always work, B-K Nuts and Bolts failed but I always thought of that game as a side Banjo game like Mario Kart instead of a main entry.

If Microsoft doesn’t want to make more Perfect Dark or Banjo Kazooie, why not sell the IPs or sell Rareware? The only real good thing Microsoft did with these franchises was releasing the remastered versions with added features on Xbox Live and included them in Rare Replay.

Regarding the comments on purchasing games, Nintendo is behind with the times again. Sony and Microsoft allow gamers to buy games offered under subscription service. I wonder if Nintendo will eventually offer this option. Even Capcom caved in and allowed gamers to buy Resident Evil and Dino Crisis after keeping them behind a subscription paywall.

I hope they will do a Castlevania 3D collection since they have re-released most of the games in the franchise.

What about re-releasing Turok Rage Wars?

I’m surprised folks who have expansion pak subscription but don’t have a Switch 2 yet haven’t posted comments calling Nintendo out for not adding games this month for Switch 1 owners.

@smeggysmeg
No company is too big to fail. Look what happened to Sears and Blockbuster Video.

@Galaxy2IsTheGOAT
For me the best Mario games were from the NES to N64 era. I especially loved Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World. The Mario games over the past 20 years are good but feels like they reused too many things from past games, even the music constantly gets reused in the New Super Mario Bros games. I hope we get some Mario games with new enemies, Bowser and his Koopa gang are used way too many times. I wouldn’t mind if they make a sequel to Super Mario Bros. 2 and bring back enemies like Wart, Mouser, Phantos and Fryguy from that game.

This comment will be frowned upon but it actually disturbs me that Mario Kart is selling very well. This means $80 will likely be the standard price for first party Nintendo games going forward and they might even test waters with $85-$90 MSRP. Nintendo is not exactly a consumer friendly company and they tend to become arrogant when they are at the height of success. I don’t want Nintendo to fail or lose money but at the same time it might not be good for consumers if they are too successful.

I hope Nintendo Classics under NSO will carry over to the next 20 consoles. It will be a very sad day if Nintendo ever pulls the plug on it.

To the folks who want the older Pokemon games on NSO or Switch, I feel your pain. Best hope comes next February for 30th anniversary since they re-released Gen 1 on virtual console during 20th anniversary. If not, maybe shareholders who attend meetings should bombard Nintendo president on the re-release. Maybe he’s not aware of the high demand for the re-release.

After reading this I went on eBay and bought a copy of Starflight for Genesis lol.

I hope Nintendo would be “kind enough” to re-release The Other M. I know it was poorly received but I never played much of it and my Wii is disconnected and would love to play the entire game to see what the complaints were. The game always intrigued me due to it showing Zero Suit Samus without finishing the game with a good ending.

@CaptainQuo
Not yet

Will Vanilla Dome, Forest of Illusion, Star Road, Chocolate Island and Donut Plains be in the movie?

Um Luigi’s Mansion was already confirmed to be released.

For $80 Nintendo should include an instruction manual and map of the tracks with each copy of the game. Back in the old days games come with these goodies.

Just give us the option to buy the retro games. The defendants should say that in court as part of their defense.

@DwaynesGames
We still don’t, NSO and virtual console are different but I understand what you mean.

I wonder if we will get a Super Mario game for 40th anniversary.

These are not the physical media you are looking for…

Chrono Trigger pixel remaster please!

Quick! Act surprised!

Nintendo please don’t ever remove these games from NSO, even after the successor consoles of Switch 2 are available. I would like to have permanent access to these games.

I give up, not going to stay up all night for this. Nintendo said there will be plenty in stock for launch, yeah right.

This is a bit off topic but how do physical game collectors usually manage their collections in Japan given the average Japanese home is small? I am running out of shelf and ideal storage space and my home is bigger than the average Japanese home (2,200 square feet).

Honestly, I don’t think this is a good thing for consumers. Nintendo has a bad habit of being arrogant and anti-consumer when their consoles are performing well.

@PikminMarioKirby
Wii U didn’t fail, the virtual boy did.

I’m more concerned they will raise the price if I can’t get one at launch.

I hope NSO stays on forever, at least for the rest of my life so I don’t have to feel sad when all the games are pulled when they discontinue it.

@johnvboy
It adds up when you buy multiple accessories. I guess the tax cuts will cover the price increase lol.

@Dr_Corndog
My tax cut better cover the difference lol.

I guess the same can be said about Metroid Prime 2.

I hope if they do increase the price, throw in a game or an accessory to soften the blow.

@Banjo-
Agreed, I play retro Nintendo games on both Wii U and 3DS more than on any other Nintendo systems. Although the NSO made improvements over the VC with extra save states, online multiplayer and dedicated classic controllers, the lack of purchase option makes me reluctant to put as many hours into save files since they will be lost once NSO shuts down in the future. I wish Nintendo would follow Sony’s example and give us the option to purchase or play for free with subscription.

I love the Wii U, and the sole reason is the virtual console. It offers the best games from almost all Nintendo consoles except GameCube with GBA and DS games too. I played so many retro Nintendo games on the Wii U VC. Sure right now the Switch and soon Switch 2 has a lot of retro titles on NSO but one day they will be all gone once the Switch consoles are obsolete and NSO gets discontinued since we don’t have the option to buy the games. It doesn’t look like this will change under Switch 2.

Thank you Trump for the tariffs making cost of living higher, for the cuts in government services to subsidize a tax cut for billionaires, for the stock market correction, we are living in a golden age indeed.

A little bit surprised there are still so many people who have money to spend (Referring to US) in an era of high inflation, looming additional tariffs and reports of so many American families living paycheck to paycheck with little to no savings. I guess there are still enough people not in this category that gaming consoles like the Switch 2 still gets sold out immediately.

@xzacutor
I hope not, I’m not rebuying the same controllers again for a new system. Already have done that for the games on virtual console when Wii U launched.

We need Final Fantasy Mystical Quest to get a re-release!

I got the Japan region import physical Switch copy. Is the English option text in the game identical to the US version?

I hope it’s not like Mother 2 30th anniversary celebration where there was no re-release announced.

I want a pixel remaster of the original Chrono Trigger.
