@Blast16 I don’t think they will be obsolete in a few years, probably in a few decades. As a matter of fact, I’m worried about the limit on 4 controllers per account. What if all 4 breaks then will have to put up with using Switch controllers.
The one good thing about Microsoft acquiring Nintendo is they are much better with retro games preservation. They will probably allow us to buy the old games and move them to the next console for free.
As great as Pokémon Gen 1-3 on NSO sounds, do you guys really want that since all the Pokémon and badges will disappear one day when Nintendo pulls the plug on NSO?
@karatekid1612 I don’t know how VC would work at this point. Will they make everyone who already purchased the same games on Wii or Wii U pay full price or just an upgrade fee? If they bring back VC they will probably start everything from scratch again.
I wish Nintendo will re-release Luigi’s Mansion 1 on Switch as a Gamecube remaster but it doesn’t look like it’s happening with the second game getting re-released.
I hope Nintendo will eventually add a purchase option so we have permanent access to the games and not lose our save file when one day these games disappear when NSO ends.
@lemonjellydude I just finished it recently. I had a great time playing it especially with the boost enhancements that can be used if needed. It’s a short game but very fun. I definitely recommend playing this.
Well Nintendo could release more mini consoles like an N64, Gamecube or GBA Classic Edition but since they will hurt the Expansion Pak subscription sales they probably will not.
@OctoKing I have the NSO including Expansion Pak but much rather have a physical compilation of classic Nintendo games. When the NSO eventually ends all the games will disappear with it like the virtual console games on the eShop. The physical compilations will give us permanent access to the classic games and they would also be good collectors items too.
Regarding the comments of the Advance Wars series being dead in Japan, didn’t this series started as a Japan exclusive series called Famicom Wars? There are still a ton of Famicom Wars titles that were never localized.

Can the co op be done online?

Any chance for LRG to get the license for Looney Tunes games from Sunsoft and Warner Bros.?
Re: Video: Super Mario RPG Gets Another Side-By-Side Graphics Comparison (Switch & SNES)
@Croctopus
All Super Mario RPG bosses are a joke in terms of difficulty compared with other Square games like Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest.

Does it include a free pizza from Pizza Hut like the last physical release?
Re: Luigi's Mansion 2 HD Gets Spooky On Switch Next Summer
Uh are they adding restore points to the remaster? There are no restore points in the 3DS version and I quit playing because of that.

Re: Video: The N64 Kart Racer That Deserves To Be On Switch

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: The Legend Of Zelda

I don’t know how VC would work at this point. Will they make everyone who already purchased the same games on Wii or Wii U pay full price or just an upgrade fee? If they bring back VC they will probably start everything from scratch again.
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's Game Boy Color Library With Two Zelda Classics
@Bydlak
They will offer to sell each game to us and tell us that if we don’t pay to download the games they will disappear forever.
Re: Feature: How Summer Holidays And Childhood Nostalgia Revolutionised Pokémon
Any chance of the original GBA versions getting a re-release?

They should have done that a long time ago, back from Wii to Wii U and Wii U to Switch.
Re: Limited Run Games Showcase To Feature "20+ New Digital And Physical Announcements"
Jurassic Park retro collection was supposed to be announced this month. Now July 12?

It’s almost identical to the Japanese SFC box art.

Does this mean there’s a chance of an official sequel?
Re: Nintendo Direct Showcase Confirmed For Wednesday 21st June 2023
Give us a real sequel to Super Mario World and Super Mario RPG!
Re: Feature: Our Predictions For The June 2023 Nintendo Direct
@Gavintendo
I wonder how reliable the leaks are. The Zelda Wind Waker and Twilight Princess HD leak from Jeff Grubb turned out to be wrong.
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's GBA Library Next Week With Fire Emblem
Geez one retro game on Expansion Pak. I miss the virtual console era with multiple games per week.
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's Game Boy Color, SNES & NES Library With Four More Titles

Re: Random: Japanese Zelda Fans Steal Copies Of TOTK By Working As Delivery Assistants
I wish early 20s are still teens. Then when I’m 50 I will still be in my 40s.
Re: Random: Russia's Unofficial Pokédex Presents A Hilarious, Alternate Take On Pokémon
Does Nintendo still operate in Russia? Their Russian site is still operating.

Re: Nintendo Reconfirms Release Windows For Upcoming Switch Games, And It's Slim Pickings
Why is the next console being referred to as Switch 2? For all we know it could be a very different console.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl Duel: Yoshi's Story
I miss the days when the West and Japan have different boxarts.

Re: Sega Shows Off Sonic Origins Plus Physical Edition Covers
Nintendo needs to release a Mario and Zelda origins compilation.

Nintendo is leaving a lot of money on the table by not releasing compilations of their classic games.

Re: Switch Online Adds Pokémon Stadium To The Nintendo 64 Library Today, Out Now
I checked my Switch, it’s not out yet. Maybe in Japan?
Re: Switch Online Adds Pokémon Stadium To The Nintendo 64 Library Today, Out Now
I assume we will eventually get Gen 1-3 on Switch?
