Is NYC safe to go visit now? I heard there’s a lot of crime and it’s dangerous, especially for Asians.

I know the customs sometimes have to inspect certain items to prevent the world from devastation, but this is a bit overboard.

They shouldn’t complain about the low sales of Mario Rabbids 2. I bought the first game at launch and they discounted the price by over 50% only 3 months later. No way people will go through that again.

I wish they sell Super Nintendo consoles in Super Nintendo World.

Awakening

I wish I were the same age as the Switch, then I would have a much longer life expectancy.

Very shocking since any crime in general is rare in Japan.

As for Switch Online Expansion Pak, in addition to Game Boy and GBA, I hope an option to purchase the titles will also be added.

@Azuris
I completely agree. But Nintendo made a mess of that with virtual console and I don’t trust them on that based on past records.

The classic games released under Switch Online and Expansion Pak should carry over to the next system. Nintendo has a bad habit of releasing all their classic games from scratch each time a new console is launched.

@RudyC3
The GBC came out before N64 was discontinued. I think the N64 was discontinued after the GBA was released around late 2001/2002.

The answer is it’s Nintendo. They always have to go out of their way to frustrate their loyal fanbase.

Why can’t Nintendo give us a compilation like this for Mario, Zelda, Pokémon, Kirby, Donkey Kong and Metroid instead of locking their retro games behind a vault or a paywall under a subscription plan?

Switch physical standard edition already sold out.

Why aren’t there any options to purchase the games? Why can’t Nintendo offer a virtual console and subscription option for us to choose from? All retro games have to be behind a paywall. Nintendo needs a change of top managers to the executives who think like those in charge of Xbox team.

Any chance of Final Fantasy Mystic Quest getting a pixel remaster too?

@nocdaes
I’m hoping they would announce the release date at Game Awards later this week. Since we are only in the beginning of December there’s still hope Goldeneye will be released before the year ends.

Why didn’t they give a release date for Goldeneye? Are they waiting for the war in Ukraine to end before releasing it?

Meh, I will pass.

I wish I were as young as the Nintendo Wii console or even the Super Nintendo system.

Pokémon launch no longer feels special. The launch day for Pokémon Red and Blue for the first time in the West and Gold and Silver felt like long awaited special event filled with hype and excitement. Now a Pokémon game launch is pretty meh.

Any chance Fukura can be in the next Smash Bros. game?

Jeff Grubb you said the remaster is coming. Don’t get us all hyped then go into silence mode refusing to take responsibility after your source leak failed to come true.

The only Western counterpart of Shigeru Miyamoto I can think of is George Lucas.

So many game companies are remastering and re-releasing their classic games on modern consoles either in compilations or individually. Except Nintendo, they just love to lock their classic games behind a paywall. In the meantime, their physical versions of classic games become more and more unaffordable for many gamers.

We need Pokémon Stadium 3.

@AtlanteanMan
I agree with you 100%. I’m upset I paid for a lot of VC games on the Wii plus upgrade fee on the Wii U only to find out the Switch just gets a subscription option with stingy amount of new games being added. Let’s say Nintendo does add the option to purchase the retro games on the Switch. The biggest question is for those who bought the same games on the Wii, Wii U and 3DS, will Nintendo charge full price or give a discount like they did with the Wii U purchase?

It’s NYC even safe these days?

Does a first party Nintendo Direct usually follow an Indie Direct?

Any chance they could re-release Gen 3 Pokémon on the Switch i. Their original GBA graphics form? I missed out on these games and would like to experience them in their original release version.

@Wexter
I think in 3 Houses it doesn’t allow you to save at any time during the battle like in Awakening. Just a quick save but not permanent save. Hopefully Engage will retain the save any time feature from Awakening.

Does this game have the option to turn off permadeath and to allow you to save any time during battle like in Fire Emblem Awakening casual mode?

Is Bayonetta 3 likely to drop in price to $40 or less in the future or will it likely remain at Nintendo first party games price?

Why did they stop making guide books in the West but in Japan they still make them for new games?

I hope they release two N64 games this month. We never got a game last month.

How about re-releasing the forgotten Game Boy game Castlevania Legends first?

I like Mario is Missing. The SNEs version has great music remixes of Super Mario World music.

Pokémon Ranger 4, Ruby and Sapphire GBA re-release on eShop, colosseum, XD Gale of Darkness, Pokepark 1 and 2 remaster.

@nocdaes
Probably a tactic to get people to keep their expansion pak subscription.

So the West has been asking, no begging for Mother 3 and we continue to be ignored.

@MarkyVigoroth
I hope there is a good chance Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald will be released on NSO as well. Never played the Gen 3 games in their original GBA form.

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.
