I miss the days when the West and Japan have different boxarts.

I hope this game along with NES Batman and SNES Adventures of Batman and Robin get a re-release in the future.

@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.

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.

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.

A bit off topic but any chance Sunsoft could re-release the Super NES and Game Boy Looney Tunes games?

Does a general Direct usually follow an indie presentation?

I’m sure Mike would not have been fired if he were Shigeru Miyamoto’s son or son-in-law.

I checked my Switch, it’s not out yet. Maybe in Japan?

I assume we will eventually get Gen 1-3 on Switch?

@KBuckley27
I meant a General Direct. Never cared for partner presentations.

Are we likely to see a Direct this June in the absence of E3?

I rather have Wart, Birdo and Mouser in the sequel since it’s going to be Super Mario Bros. 2.

Is it better than the Super Mario cartoons? I really enjoyed those.

I wonder if Nintendo will release this game in Russia. Despite saying they stop selling games there, their Russian site still gets updated advertising the latest games including Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.

I just want a real sequel to Super Mario World and Super Mario Bros. 2.

For everyone complaining about this game’s difficulty with rental Pokémon, remember it’s not about win or lose, it’s the path you choose, let the journey begin!

They should have released this on virtual console.

@Heartless666
I don’t think they made it hard to get people to buy the transfer pak. The accessory was included with Stadium.

Do you guys think they will eventually release the Game Boy Pokémon games on NSO?

I’m surprised by some commenting about the nostalgia for western version boxart. I always thought I’m one of the oldest gamer here and most of us here are Gen Z and younger.

I like the Japanese artwork much better. Super Mario Bros. 3 Japanese box art is even more superior. Never understood why NOA didn’t used the Japanese artwork for Super Mario Bros. games.

Hopefully if an invasion of Taiwan happens between now and April 21 there won’t be another postponement. Not that I am indifferent about another invasion but wars happen everywhere and delaying a game will not help any country involved in the war.

If he has a ton of subscribers $23,000 is probably not a lot of money to him.

@pnott
Where did you see the leak about Pokémon Gen 3 coming to NSO?

I remember in the mid 2000s Microsoft expressed interest in buying Nintendo but Yamauchi refused. One thing is almost certain, if Microsoft acquired Nintendo, they most likely would have made Nintendo’s classic games very accessible and carried over to successor generation consoles.

@Mgalens
I agree 100% but since it looks like Nintendo is locking access to retro games in a subscription format NSO is the only format we can count on at this time. Maybe we will be allowed to transfer Pokémon from Gen 1-3 in NSO to Gen 9 like how they could be transferred from virtual console versions to Gen 7. That way we can at least preserve the Pokémon collected. I hope in the future Nintendo will give us the option to purchase games from the NSO retro catalog.

Do you guys think in addition to Gen 1 and 2 we will also get Ruby/ Sapphire/ Emerald and Fire Red/ Leaf Green eventually on Switch?

If Gen 1 and 2 come to Switch I hope it’s to purchase and not part of NSO. Otherwise eventually all the Pokémon and badges will one day disappear when Nintendo discontinues NSO.

I would get them all but I maxed out on the storage for both systems with virtual console games.

JNL Games offer it for $60. I preordered all my games from them, fast shipping and delivery.

Why can’t there be a purchase option? If Nintendo wants to keep people subscribed then make it a requirement to be a subscriber to purchase.

I’m desperately hoping Nintendo will let us buy some of these games on the retro games app before they eventually remove them in the distant future.

Do you guys think we will eventually get Gen 1-3 on Switch?

Since they didn’t add any N64 games this month, today would have been perfect to add Pokémon Stadium. But since they didn’t announce Gen 1 or 2-3, do you guys think they will eventually add/ release them on Switch?

@RubyCarbuncle
It doesn’t help articles, Youtubers and “leakers” hype up expectations.

Maybe Nintendo will put Revelations on 3DS NSO app whenever that comes out

@Ulysses
I agree but I was hoping for at least Gen 1 given the disclaimer taken down from Stadium trailer about Pokémon cannot be transferred and I guess the classic games were heavily rumored/ hyped/ the Presents announcement playing Gen 1 music and showing 151 original Pokémon

Sigh, was really hoping for Gen 1-3 on NSO. I guess rental only Pokémon for Stadium on NSO?

I’m curious as to whether Mother 3 will again be released only in Japan on GBA NSO. I would say it’s basically the last hope of the West getting an official release. Outside of a remake I don’t think we will ever see Mother 3 if it only gets a Japan release on NSO.

Not to nitpick but they need to officially release the Pokémon video games before releasing the movies in China.

Good luck finding a copy. My preorder hasn’t shipped yet.

Is there’s a possibility of Nintendo giving us the option to buy the games before they eventually discontinue the service? I don’t want to lose my save data in the games on NSO.

I wonder when Black and White remakes will be released. Probably not this year.

@RupeeClock
I actually hope the games will arrive via eShop instead of NSO. If they get put on NSO we will eventually lose all of our Pokémon and badges when the games disappear when Nintendo eventually discontinues the service.

Any chance they can open branches of this museum in the West as well?

@NewAdvent
I don’t think they will release Mother 3 in the West.

This proves DS games are possible to port to Switch.

What happened to the rumored February 10 release date?
