Mother 3, if that’s all they announce I would be happy.

Will there be additional restore points added? The original version seriously lacked them.

Any chance they will add more checkpoints in the levels in the HD release?

Doesn’t San Francisco and California have a smash and grab problem as well as a policy of no prosecution for theft of goods under a few hundred dollars?

Anyone know if Luigi’s Mansion 2 will have new features like checkpoints? I never beat the original version due to lack of checkpoints.

@Desrever
I think the physical game is incredibly expensive and rare.

@Mgalens
A physical release of all three games would be great. They localized Trials of Mana for Collection of Mana so there’s always a (slim) possibility.

Why is 3 not in this collection?

I want a new Super Mario World or Super Mario RPG game.

Western fans: Hey Doug Bowser, where’s Mother 3?

Bowser: Thank you for your inquiry but Mother 3’s in another country.

Maybe Mother 3 was not released on Western NSO because Nintendo wants to sell us the game at a later time instead of allowing us to play for free on NSO as part of the subscription.

If I were the US president, I would personally ask the Japanese prime minister to request Nintendo to localize Mother 3 during a personal meeting, no joke.

If Jeff Grubb is wrong, could he treat us all to some grub?

I actually happen to have all the games on this list.

Did they ever say why Veronica was replaced?

Why do people want these games on NSO? I rather pay for a download because I don’t want the rental games on NSO to disappear one day along with my Pokémon and badges.

Why is Pokemon Ruby/ Sapphire/ Emerald and Pokemon Fire Red and Leaf Green not on this list?

Why was TMNT 3 released as 2 in Japan? Which earlier game did it skip the Famicom?

@andyg1412
That would be nice. It would be awesome if the next console includes a purchase option for these games but that’s probably not going to happen.

Will these games likely carry over to Switch 2?

@Jeronan
I feel your pain regarding the region lock. I started collecting DVDs more than 20 years ago and back then before HD TVs there was an additional barrier on top of region lock: Region 1 TVs used NTSC and region 2 TVs used PAL format. At least now a region free player solves the problem of watching releases from other territories. I am a bit surprised that Pokemon TV is being discontinued. I wonder if they have something better to replace it although I am not counting on it.

This is why physical media is important.

@Zeldinion
I played it but felt the levels and graphics are like New Super Mario Bros Wii and U. I felt Super Mario Bros 3 was so amazing with the powerups, new worlds and enemies and Super Mario World had different secret exits, castles and memorable enemies. I guess the Mario franchise is getting tiresome with the same enemies and worlds. I wish they could make another game similar to Super Mario Bros 2, that was a real refreshing direction although I know it was not originally a Mario game.

I wish Miyamoto was the producer of recent Mario games. The newer Mario games seem to be much less fun compared to Super Mario Bros. 1-3, Super Mario World and Super Mario 64.

Is this a digital release only? I can’t find the physical copy to preorder.

Ahhh every time I see these articles I want to buy the game featured. Unfortunately, some games featured especially with the box is no longer affordable.

I hope we get Dragon Quest 4-6 on Switch and PS5.

I want more Sega mini consoles.

I hope they release a Dragon Quest Pixel Remaster for 1-6.

@Baker1000
They better not restart everything from scratch because if they do, I’m canceling my subscription instantly.

Is this digital only?

Will it be possible to play co op online for Jet Force Gemini?

Will there likely be an official sequel?

I hope a general Direct follows the week after.

@Dm9982
Sony and Microsoft have purchase options on top of access via subscription. Nintendo could do the same.

I want physical strategy guides back too!

I hope they will seriously consider a sequel to this game and one that will be released within 2-3 years.

@Zeroo
I’m paying $50, getting it at JNL Games. I always get my preorder in the mail the day after the release date.

How is the battle system in this game? I played the original and was running around enemies and didn’t understand if I was supposed to press attack button as I pass by them.

I wish there’s an option to purchase all three titles on the Switch.

Does this mean DS and 3DS games will be added on NSO?

Wasn’t there a Super Famicom Japanese release too?

Sounds like something Disney would do, price gouging just like they do with their Disney World prices.

There better not be a transfer fee like they did with Wii to Wii U virtual console transfers.

I hope this game surpasses Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World.

Anyone here watched all the Pokemon episodes? After hitting 40 I realized I need to catch up on the massive backlog of episodes I haven’t watched (Which is practically all the episodes) before one day it’s too late for me to.

I don’t know if it will measure up to Yoshi’s Island because that game is absolutely amazing.

I don’t think Nintendo will grant western gamers the wish of getting Mother 3 checked off the most wanted games list.

Will this game ever get re-released? It came out on the Wii virtual console and I think it was shown as an upcoming Wii U VC release but it never came out on Wii U or Switch Online.

Regardless of how you feel about this release, at least C64 games aren’t locked behind a subscription paywall like Nintendo is doing with their retro games.
