I was on the fence about this one and I'm glad to hear it holds up but at $40 it's still too pricy for what you get, especially considering that the upcoming Sega Genesis collection with 20 more games is going to cost $10 less.

This does sound interesting and worth a look when the price comes down a bit. But was the developer so afraid that gamers wouldn't accept playing as a female protagonist that they had to make him really a boy, just body-swapped with a girl? It's an odd choice, otherwise, but I guess if it works....

This is a fun little arcade racer with excellent music. It's a great fit for mobile devices and I can't wait to learn more about how well it holds up on the Switch as a $20 title.

"Here's a Switch port. It might be handy if you, the master of portable gaming, take it with you."

It does have a good sense of style and I do like 4-player co-op...

Hot take: We were right about Windjammers in 1994, when we were all playing Virtua Cop and Samurai Showdown II instead of that glorified Pong clone.

Excellent package and a good deal if you can get it on sale at a physical retailer. Loads of fun.

This looks fun! Kind of like Sky Rogue, which is nothing deep, but it's fun to play in short bursts, and this one looks like it will be--wait... $30???

Toki Tori is a game I've purchased on nearly every system it's been released on because I know I like it and it's usually pretty inexpensive. I will definitely give this a try. I'm not skeptical, I'm SWAPtical!

I'll hold out for the sequel, "Confession: Sacrament of Reconciliation".

Writing chiptune is hard.

Mind. Blown.

Shipping games is hard.

"The bird is one of the great calamities, spoken of in the kingdom since ancient times."

So would you say that everyone has heard about the bird and, in fact, the bird is the WORD?

@Painkiller_Mike You'd be excited, too, if a game fired ACTUAL CANNON SHELLS back at your couch!

This review accurately captures the experience of playing one of these games.

Yes, please! But also bring back BotW's cooking system. I can't wait to add Foongus to Bouffalant and see what sort of buffs it gives me!

Releasing just two months after Fortnite on the Switch probably didn't help matters any, as well as the fact that the whole "Day of the Dead" aesthetic is a love-it or hate-it proposition (I love it but I wouldn't base a whole game around it).

@BulkSlash Yeah, and the best part was Luigi's voice would get more and more pathetic the closer to death (I mean fainting) he got.

@Joker13z I thought it was closer to $34.99 at launch, but I could easily be mistaken. And I guess $40 in 2007 dollars is pretty close to $50 in 2018 dollars, but the real point of comparison is Okami HD, a remake of a 2006 original, which released recently at $20 (instead of $50).

@BulkSlash Oh dang. I didn't realize that had posted multiple times. Fixed that!

I have to admire Nintendo's chutzpah at re-releasing an 11-year-old DS game and charging 50% more for it now than it did when the original game was new.

M-m-m-aariooooo?

@OorWullie Thanks! That's good to know.

$50 seems a little steep for an updated mobile game, but it does seem to offer local multiplayer via 3-4 player splitscreen which could be fun. It doesn't hurt that racers are so thin on the ground for the Switch. Whatever happened to that Burnout: Paradise port we were supposed to be getting?

I don't see much difference between paying $30 for a physical version of a free-to-play game and paying $40 for a physical version of a $10 downloadable game, to be perfectly honest. Neither is for me.

My preference would be for a subscription service with thousands (or tens of thousands of games) and then a front end populated by content from HG101 which helps me find what to play next.

To be immediately followed up with a new Labo kit that includes a TENS massager, an ice pack and a cardboard arm brace for all of the tennis elbow and torn ligaments this thing is going to cause. ("EA Sports Active", never forget).

I don't mean this in a weird or creepy way at all, but I can't wait to watch this thing deflate.

(Like in those dancing Pikachu videos where the suits leak and deflate. That's all.)

Hideki Naganuma is awesome and Sega should give him all the games.

It's great that they're finishing the story but spoiler alert: the final two episodes will be made in Flash featuring stick figures and .wav files found on the Internet.

As someone who had a C-64 instead of an NES back in the day, it still cracks me up that there's a Great Giana Sisters game on a Nintendo console (much less TWO Nintendo consoles!).

I was certain I was going to dislike "Stardew Valley" before I started playing it, but now that I am 70+ hours in, obviously that isn't the case!

I would pay money (not a subscription, but a one time app fee) for Steam Link on my Switch: something that would allow me to stream the hundreds (thanks, Humble Bundle!) of Steam games I have on my PC, directly to my Switch. Steam/Nvidia should get on that. It wouldn't go over big with Nintendo, though, probably as it would decimate eShop sales.

I miss Boom Blox.

"Animated Jigsaws: Japanese Women" sounds like a horribly misogynistic and possibly racist direction for the "Saw" movies to take, even by the standards of that franchise. Interesting that they went the animation route this time, though.

Weeks worth of content, but not so big on consent.

Hmm. Project Giant Robot eventually came out, but as a Labo title. So I guess Mario 128 is confirmed for Nintendo Labo in 2019... though you won't actually get to play it until 2020 — after you've finished folding 128 individual, separate cardboard Marios.

I feel they wrapped up the story in a very satisfying way in the original and at this point a sequel would just feel tacked-on.

Found it. Just check the box marked "Disable Gratuitous Fan Service" and boom! 75% reduction in app size.

The bundle with all the DLC is $35 on Steam, so $40 for the Switch version seems reasonable. I approve of the pricing for this port. I have no idea if the game is worth $40, just glad to see there isn't a huge Switch mark-up on this one.

I don't know what "Monpoke" means in Japanese but in French it's unspeakably filthy.

Considering that the Switch struggles to play some of these games at 30fps now I wouldn't get your hopes up at playing any of these in VR (where you essentially need two displays running at at least 60fps) unless the Switch somehow gets 4x more powerful when you put it in the face harness.

I remember playing this on Genesis. I didn't realize there was a Mega Drive version as well.

Sailors?

It would be cool if they could make a very basic Game & Watch version of Smash and bundle that with the Ultimate Bundle.

The best part about the wallpaper is that you don't have to listen to that horrible MIDI trumpet music when you look at it.

Between games like this and the excellent "Ultimate Chicken Horse", we truly live in amazing times for local multiplayer gaming.

Just yelp for help! And yes, this really needs two players — particularly given the audience and the fact that the show is built entirely around teamwork — or what is the point? I hope you are able to play as the Kitten Catastrophe Crew. Mayor Humdinger is the best character on the show.

It's no F-Zero but at least now you can be a balance HERO with the Switch re-release of this nine-year-old WiiWare classic and... and... sigh. I can't even pretend to not be disappointed by this.
