@johnvboy Like I already said, it's the principle of the thing. Requiring physical objects to access stuff in a game is just scummy. Also, I don't want it enough to spend $25 and I sure as hell don't want to pay some POS scalper for one. I might consider buying one from someone who killed a scalper to get it though.

Ironically, I might have considered buying this amiibo if I didn't feel like doing so would just keep encouraging companies to pull this crap. Fortunately for me, I never liked this game (partially because it cements the prophecy that the hero must always be Link and never Zelda) so I never planned to buy this game in the first place. I'm still annoyed at the way the game industry is going though and I strongly believe another "crash" could potentially put a stop to it.

It s not just the game industry. Scalpers seem to be getting sadistic, like that guy who taunted people while trying to sell his ridiculous collection of PS5s. I think (and hope) he got robbed, but that part of the story is hazy. Anyway, unlike digital DLC, physical objects can be sold second-hand, which would be great if scalpers weren't buying them up like crazy, especially when using unethical if not downright illegal software to do so.

I've never quite understood the appeal of picross games, but then I'm not really a fan of Sudoku or Mine Sweeper.

Can all 8 players use pro controllers and combined joycons or is it just one joycon per player?

It looks kinda dumb but still worth a look. I wish the characters were based on the 1990s movies (the ones with Christina Ricci, Raul Julia, Angelica Houston, Jimmy Workman, and Christopher Lloyd) rather than the most recent one, but I can see why they went this way.

Another reason not buy this piece of crap. Apparently charging $60 for an old game with very few new features isn't enough and the fat cats felt the need to charge extra for one of the two new features this port does have. And you can bet scalpers are going to make things even worse because they're opportunistic jerks who insist on ruining everything! The physical key method sucked when it was popularized by Activision and Disney, it sucked when Lego and Ubisoft kept it going, and it sucks now! I never even intended to buy this game in the first place so I don't know why I'm so pissed off, but somehow I find myself infuriated all the same.

@Damo B) So you've said before. A lot of them are probably interested in politics. Doesn't mean they belong here.

C) If you weren't making a clickbait article, you could have put something like "Mega Man: The Wily Wars is getting released on Genesis in the West."
I don't even have to click on the articles to get upset. Just seeing that padding is enough.
I get it; this is your site now and you're gonna put whatever you want on it. That doesn't mean I have to like it.

I wonder if Nintendo would ever consider making a Fire Emblem collection and releasing it worldwide. I'd expect it to be in parts of course like Capcom's Mega Man collections.

I thought this going to be about a game on a Nintendo system. Instead it's just another junky clickbait article. Sometimes I really hate this site and it seems to be getting worse! If you care so much about Sega, Damo, why don't you make a "Sega Life" website or something and put subjects about your favorite company there instead?

Where's that 💔/👎 button?

@outsider83 I've been around since the 80s so I know what I'm talking about. Not as bad doesn't mean not bad.

It's too bad none of these games were ported to 3DS. I guess they still could be now but it wouldn't make much financial sense to put them on an a system no longer on the market. They could also retain their 3D effects on Switch if Nintendo makes a hands-free head mount with lenses like Labo.

While Wario Land might be almost everyone else's favorite for the system, my personal favorite is Galactic Pinball. I almost bought a VB for that game alone.

Unfortunately, delays are something Nintendo fans are all too familiar with. 😕

That sounds like a horrible idea, and since that seems to be the direction game companies are going in, I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up happening.

If I switch my account from American to Japanese and buy some of these games, can I still play them on my account when I switch it back to American? I have an extra account set to Japan but I'd rather have all my purchases on one account.

@TsukiDeity Sounds riveting.

@Toshiro_Baloney I tried it out but can't remember much.

@SuperCharr I think there's a reason articles and reviews here don't a have a "dislike" option even though comments do. If there were, I wouldn't be as tempted to make what some might consider harsh criticisms.

@bluemage1989 No they're not. Haven't you noticed the increasing number of articles and reviews that aren't even about Nintendo products? I guess that's what happens when Sega fans take over.

How bad can it be?...
Oooooooh. Pachinko. Why is pachinko so popular in Japan anyway? Is it like their version of pinball?

I tried this on my phone and didn't care all that much for it, but that was a time and money sink like Farmville. Depending on how good the games are, I might be interested.

@robr I wonder if it costs companies extra to have free DLC on the shops. Those who prefer subtitles would likely rather not have the audio replaced or have more of their storage space taken up by a language setting they never intend to use.

For $40, I think I'll buy a physical version if I buy the game at all. I hope it sells well though, and if it does sell well, I hope it leads to ports of the Keio Flying Squadron games. If those get released on Switch or PS4, I'll buy them just to make a point. ...Like that time Rolento hung a soldier with a metal cable.

I was never a huge fan of SNL, but they did have at least some of my respect until I realized they'll never have Weird Al as a host or musical guest, which is especially insulting since they have much less worthy people like Donald Trump, Peyton Manning, and this guy right here, Elon Musk. Maybe SNL isn't good enough for Al.

@MortalKombat2007 If Reggie has nothing to do with it, he should probably keep his mouth shut.
Like I said before, I have no interest in localizing Mother 3, but it's not fair to the fans for anyone even remotely involved to be a jerk about it.

Now I feel even worse about abducting him from his home in the middle of the night and violently dangling him over a tub full of piranhas. 😰

I wish console makers wouldn't buy out third-party game developers and publishers because it just ends up restricting titles.

@SeantheDon29 I guess so. To be fair, each game in Super Mario 3D All-Stars amounts to roughly $20 per title when they used to individually cost at least $50 at the times of their initial release dates, but charging $60 for Skyward Sword is just insulting.

This is actually what I was hoping for when I heard that Baldur's Gate I & II were coming to the Switch because I didn't know that neither one was Dark Alliance. I want to be excited, but for $30, I'm not so sure considering how old this game is. I guess it's technically cheaper today, especially accounting for inflation, but age almost always has a devaluing effect on video games and this is no exception. I'm holding out on Cotton Reboot for the same reason.

Unfortunately, I can't see this difference in a feed because the damn site keeps redirecting to mobile mode no matter what settings I use!

I guess they just don't want to tell people that they don't care about the Metroid series anymore and don't think porting Metroid Prime Trilogy again would be worth it. So when playing Metroid Prime 3 on Wii U in Trilogy, did you need to use a Wii remote and nunchuck?

It's bad enough that you and Damo put these irrelevant articles on this site (War Zone isn't even on a Nintendo system), and now you're putting this crap under the Switch tab?!

The only reason I'm even remotely interested in this case is because I hate Apple and I really want that dreadful company to get hurt. It's so full of itself and is a bad influence on other companies.

I hope this doesn't mean Hamster is done porting Konami games. There's still a few I really want, although I'm not sure I should care since they probably won't port those anyway. 😡 I guess there's always pirate emulation.

I doubt these wealthy pieces of crap even need the money. It almost seems like scalpers are just being sadistic now. It makes me want to beat the everliving hell out of them with bats wrapped in razor wire.

So far, the only issue I've had with my Switch was control stick drift on a left Joy-Con I bought separately from the Switch about a year ago, and that was mostly fixed after I sent it in. I've only had my Switch for a couple of years though. If the damn thing can't even last half a decade, I doubt I'll be buying more Nintendo products.

The North American cover by just a hair. I like the camera lense art.

What's with clickbaity thumbnail? Are those characters even related to the game?

I kinda like manuals and I don't remember deliberately throwing any away. I don't miss them terribly though and they often seemed like another thing to keep track of, although that wasn't as much of a problem with plastic cases. I wish at least digital manuals would be included with more re-releases of old games though. Most pre-2000 games didn't have in-game tutorials so the manuals were often essential. Wii U, 3DS, PS3, and even Wii had directions for retro games so I don't know why they're not included for the NES and SNES libraries on Switch. I guess Nintendo thinks the only people who want to play them already did back when they were new so they should know how anyway?

As much as I hope this collection gets the rest of the games from Capcom Arcade Cabinet, I'd be much more interested in the Darkstalkers series and the rest of the Street Fighter spin-offs. Of course I also want Aliens Vs. Predator, Cadillacs & Dinosaurs, and the Vs. fighting games, but considering the pesky licence issues, I doubt we'll be seeing those any time soon. I wonder how much the C&D license would cost though, especially for bringing back just one game. Capcom did get to bring the Dungeons & Dragons games back for the PS3, Xbox 360 (and One via backwards compatibility), PC, and the ill-fated Wii U though, and considering AVP was put on a different collection, I wouldn't completely rule out possible future inclusions or hopefully individual ports.

Are you sure this expansion means more games and not just more platforms?

@Kanbolara One of the characters male cross-dresser.

Definitely the Virtual Console to be sure, preferably with the extras @gaga64 mentioned plus virtual Controller Pak support for applicable games and features from the NES and SNES apps like online play and rewind. I bought quite a lot of games on the VC for Wii and 3DS. I probably would have bought a lot for Wii U too if I had one. To be fair, there are actually some NES games available to buy and keep on the Switch (I think all of which are from Arc System Works) but their number is a mere drop in the bucket and I'm not all that crazy about those games anyway, although I did buy Double Dragon 3 and River City Ransom.
Honestly, I hated the Wii Shop Channel music after a few seconds. I'd only approve of its return if it could be turned off.

I've never quite gotten used to the controls for games like these because the middle attack is a bit awkward whether I set it to the top or bottom button on a diamond pattern gamepad (like X or B on a Switch Joy-con for example). I might pick this up if it comes to Switch though; if there are any all-female fighting games on this platform, they've flown under my radar.

I know I say this every week and I'm sorry if it's getting annoying at this point, but I really hope we get Mystic Warriors, Metamorphic Force, and Violent Storm before Konami stops porting their old arcade games.

This could possibly given the Switch to the ability to function almost like a Wii U controller. I say "almost" because I think the Wii U controller had a camera and microphone. I guess the microphone feature could be added with an accessory that plugs into the headset jack, although I've heard that the Switch cannot actually accept sound input which would mean the technology in certain online games like Fortnite and DC Universe Online somehow magically changes that for the purpose of chatting while those games are running. 🤷‍♀️

@Ogbert There was a track editor in the Japanese version of F-Zero X with the 64DD. I wouldn't mind seeing a port of that on Switch.

@Entrr_username It's too bad Nintendo is a lot more stingy with its characters, although I'm not sure how they would address the weapon design. Like, would Samus (or Mega Man for that matter) just carry guns or would her arm cannon be able to use different types of ammo? How would she use melee weapons and fishing rods? With her left hand? Is she ambidextrous? I guess they could just have her wear her "zero" suit (which I'm pretty sure she wears under her battle suit anyway) and use both of her hands like everyone else. 🤔

It looks blue with a touch of grey.
