I transferred all my account purchases to the Wii U from Wii in 2012. Can I still download my original purchases to the Wii?

Mega Man Battle Network games need a compilation.

Well Jeff Grubb, what do you have to say for yourself?

I want another 45 minute Nintendo Direct.

Speaking of Russian Ukraine war and Advance Wars delay, Nintendo said a few months ago it will suspend sales in Russia. Yet Nintendo Russia website has been updated with new upcoming games including Mario Strikers for Switch. It looks to be business as usual for Nintendo of Russia.

I guess Mother 3 to Western gamers is what Startropics games are to Japanese gamers. But apparently no Japanese gamer cares about Startropics.

I am very very behind. Haven’t watched new episodes since first season. I want to eventually watch every Pokémon episode but will take me at least 2 years to catch up.

3-4 Switch sounds like a right name for a sequel.

I wonder what his excuse he will give if he ends up being wrong.

I wish Reggie had fought just as hard or harder for Mother 3 to be released in America.

@Krisi
I do miss the earlier decades where games don’t just have unique regional artwork but manuals and maps (And guide books sold separately) as well. The only major great thing about modern game releases is the simultaneous launch for most major titles. I remember having to wait months for Paper Mario, Pokémon Gold and Silver and Zelda Majora’s Mask to come out after the original Japanese release.

I wonder why they stopped using different box art for each region now?

Can we get Super Mario Bros Super Show on blu-ray in the meantime to tide us over while we wait for the movie?

It’s unfortunate that the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pak killed any chance of a Nintendo 64 Classic Edition (Mini) release.

All the leaks these days. Nintendo didn’t even bother to send Mario and Luigi to fix the leaks.

@shoeses
Mother 1 was not translated a few years ago. It was translated around 1990 and the planned western release was cancelled right after the translation was done.

I wonder if this will be part of the Expansion Pak or as part of a new Advance Pak.

@rushiosan
I don’t see why not. They put the first two gen games on VC. Maybe the Advance Pokémon games will be purchase only?

Any chance Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald and Mother 3 will be among the games?

I wish Nintendo would release their Mario, Zelda and Metroid games in retro compilations besides Mario 3D All Stars on the Switch.

I wish we could get another 8 bit or 16 bit Legend of Zelda game.

@ReaperMelia
I definitely plan to play the 3DS and Switch Fire Emblem some time soon. I enjoyed the GBA and DS games. Right now I’m working on the original NES Fire Emblem released for the Switch.

I’m frustrated that other companies make their classic games available to download but Nintendo keeps most of them only available as a subscriber to access on the Switch.

@Sourcecode
What lesson?

Back in the day box art for Japan and the West were very different now they are all the same. What happened?

@Moistnado
By 2030 there will probably be the same amount of games or less under the subscription because Nintendo might start putting retro games from scratch again on a new console like they did with Wii U virtual console and Switch Online classic games.

@ReaperMelia
It would definitely be helpful to turn off permadeath. I played the GBA and DS Fire Emblem games on Wii U virtual console and had to resort to save states to beat the game. I had trouble anticipating enemy movements and was losing a lot of characters when the enemies gang up on them during their turn.

@BANJO
I’m hoping for more Rareware games like Donkey Kong 64 and Banjo Tooie. Also want Pokémon Stadium because I never really played it back in the day. It would be great if GBA and Gamecube games get added to the upgrade subscription as well over the next 12 months.

So they delayed this game because of Russian invasion but the GBA and DS Advance Wars are still selling on Wii U eShop. I hope the rumored Goldeneye isn’t held back too because of the war over there.

@wuntyme8
Gamecube games would be awesome, if they start adding them I would most likely subscribe to the Expansion Pak.

I’m curious what games will come to Expansion Pak during the October 2022- September 2023 period.

If you are age 25 or under, having a game backlog is fine. If you are approaching middle age, better get on it. That’s what I started doing when I turned 35.

Does this game have perma death?

I know this is not 3DS game but I’m surprised Paper Mario Color Splash new is still cheap. I bought extra copies back in the day because I figured it was released right before Wii U was discontinued so it should become rare. Was hoping to trade it for a different rare game after it becomes out of print but oddly 5 and half years later a brand new copy is still $40.

Will there likely be a patch coming to fix the issues?

Let us buy the games on NSO! The rental means one day the rug will get pulled from underneath us and all the games and save files will disappear when they discontinue the subscription.

Thank you Nintendo for the reminder. We want to remind you as well that we want an official localized release of Mother 3.

Can’t seem to add it to cart.

@Matty1988
Nintendo isn’t doing it out of cluelessness, it’s pretty much a deliberate strategy.

@tblalande
Me too, I would buy and play the re-release day 1.

I wish Super Mario RPG, Final Fantasy Mystic Quest, Illusion of Gaia and Secret of Evermore would get a remastered re-release. In Super Mario RPG’s case, a remake or a true sequel would be greatly welcomed as well.

@jm816
Thank you for the confirmation. I was curious because I think the very first guide books “How to win at Super Mario Bros.” and “Legend of Zelda Tips and Tactics” were translated guides from Japanese publications. The earlier player’s guides says published by Nintendo of America in conjunction with Tokuma Shoten. I wasn’t certain because in North America there was usually only one official guide published with maybe few others from Bradygames and Prima. Japan published multiple guide books for each game and I think they still publish guide books in 2022.

The guide book wasn’t even published by Nintendo. Also they really should have localized that guide back in 1996 for the West.

Why is it taking so long for Nintendo to add games and other retro systems? Even the virtual console added them at a much faster rate. They should at least put GBA and Gamecube on the service.

It’s sad that old movies older than Pac Man get physical re-releases on new formats like Blu-Ray and 4K UHD to own. Classic Nintendo games on the other hand are only available to rent and that’s only a fraction of the classic games.

I still have the official Nintendo player’s guide. Question for anyone who knows the answer: Were the Nintendo player’s guides published by Nintendo of America direct translations from a Japanese guide or were they original publications? It appears they still publish video game guide books in Japan up to now.

I just want Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster to come to Switch and other consoles. I’m worried it might not happen given how long it’s taking. Other than that, a FF9 remake will be great too.

Ff 9 remake please!

I don’t understand why Nintendo isn’t moving the Game Boy games to be sold on Switch eShop.

I hope Nintendo will eventually add a purchase option for the games in its Switch NES, Super NES and N64 apps under Switch Online
