1 N64 game by itself was worth complaining about, but that plus 5 Megadrive games is pretty decent for the month! It feels like they've stopped adding games to the base subscription though which is a separate issue. Still some NES and SNES games that could be added that aren't being sold separately on Switch
Thanks for the heads up, me and my other half actually really liked the first episode so will give this a watch tonight. Brought up a lot of nostalgia for the late 90s
Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn is my favourite Wii game so I would love to see it get a second shot. Great list still though. I went with Punchout, Last Story and Sin & Punishment. Honourable mention goes to Wario Land
Guess it was as unambitious as it looked. I don't know any Pokémon players who are picking this up and I can't say I blame them, I would probably rather just play my original copy of Diamond. A real shame, but at least we have Legends Arceus to look forward to
Fingers crossed he gets to work on Okami again someday. Played bits of it on PS2 and Wii back then, but just finished it for the first time this year on Switch and I'm glad I did. It absolutely deserves its reputation
That subheading is brilliant. This has already been said, but the bunnies look like they're much better drawn than the ladies anyway so this game getting censored was probably a good thing at least in my opinion
I was really looking forward to playing Star Fox online, but no way will I pay that much to rent a bunch of games, most of which I won't have time to play. Hopefully if very few people buy into this Nintendo will consider reducing the price
It was £8.99/$9.99 to buy individual N64 games on Wii U so the same price to rent a collection of them for a year seems fair, especially with the added online. More than that and I'm not sure though
I voted for Amaterasu, but almost went for Sora or Rayman. I have a feeling it won't be any of them, but I can't be disappointed with Smash getting Banjo-Kazooie
@ItsJustAnotherGamer The fact that it's still in the Top 10 in it's third week I thought was pretty impressive. Was expecting it to be out by it's second week. I still need to pick up a copy, will definitely do that by Christmas
Something Star Fox or Golden Sun related would be awesome. But realistically, as long as the Smash character is interesting and we get a few new game announcements I'll be happy. I'm just glad we've got Advance Wars on the way and that we should hopefully see more of that here!
Very nearly got this last year so I'm glad I didn't now. Tempted to pick this up. Still a shame that some versions are missing despite the message on the game box
It would be nice to see how different this list would be if all the games that have been ported elsewhere were removed. So many great games that are stuck on the cube. Weird not seeing the Star Fox games on here or Pokémon Colosseum and its sequel
@Malakhim24 You could play the whole game in Co op like you described with one person on gamepad aiming and firing duties and the other flying the arwing. It was really fun actually
I'm a sucker when it comes to Star Fox so I'd likely pick this up again, although I would prefer remasters of Adventures and Assault. Obviously a new game would be great too
Love the Gamecube to bits and I like everyone here I hope there will be more ways to play the games someday soon. Getting an improved version of Super Mario Sunshine for Switch was great. The Star Fox games are probably my most wanted
@Wavey84 Yes, Echoes is very much worth playing and feels pretty different to the 1st and 3rd game. Some really great alien designs like the luminoth mentioned in the article. Probably the hardest in the trilogy to beat, in fact I still haven't, but I loved what I played
Where's the 'No, I'm interested and haven't played the series before, but I'm on a tight budget' option? Got the first game preowned on Wii years ago and never got round to playing it
I met him once at a convention with my girlfriend. We had been queuing for quite a while, but he was due to go home for the day so the convention organisers said we couldn't see him, but then he actually waved us over and three of us joked about Looney Tunes Back in Action together. Absolutely surreal, lovely guy.
@darkswabber True. The only problem is Sword/Shield not allowing a couple hundred species of Pokémon to be transferred in currently. Hopefully it gets updates to at least allow new Pokémon introduced in Legends Arceus to be transferred, otherwise there won't be any way to use them in online ranked battles with Legends Arceus being focused on singleplayer and not having that feature
Looking forward to it. My favourite videogame composer has to be Motoi Sakuraba. The music he's done for Star Ocean, Valkyrie Profile, Golden Sun, Eternal Sonata, etc is easily some of the best I've heard in gaming
I haven't picked up a copy of TWEWY yet, but I absolutely will sometime this year, pains me to wait, but we've waited years for this sequel so I can wait a bit longer if I have to
Really tempted by Ys IX. If it wasn't for the fact I'm strapped for cash right now and that NEO TWEWY is out later this month I'd definitely be getting it. Would be great to see review at some point
I love Star Fox. It's tough to please all its fans though, because a lot of people want a back to 64 style, back to basics, arcadey type game and others, like me want to see something more akin to Star Fox Assault with the varied gameplay, more story and better multiplayer. I think the only way Nintendo could please everyone is by having an 'Arcade Mode' and 'Story Mode' similarly to a lot of fighting games. Arcade for the original fans and Story for the 2000s games fans
@Dethmunk I picked Starlink up and had a blast with it. Still need to go back to it actually. Would still be nice to have some of the lesser played Star Fox games available on modern platforms
Thanks for updating the article. Really looks like slim pickings now. Would like to see a revamped Star Fox Zero. Of course a new game would be better or even remasters of Assault or Adventures, but any Star Fox content on Switch is good
Brilliant E3 Direct. The Metroid Dread, Wario Ware and Advance Wars announcements got me really excited. Wasn't interested in playing Shin Megami Tensei, but after that Direct I am! My only negative is I was hoping the Mario Party boards would be added to Super Mario Party, but on the bright side I never played the N64 Mario Party games so its 100 new mini games to me and 5 new boards so will likely pick that game up as well, great E3
@RhiannonRune My thoughts exactly. I really wanted this to be DLC, but it definitely makes more sense this way. Only thing is now if I want to play this online with my brother and his fiance we need two copies of the game between us and this could end up much more expensive than of these mini games and boards with DLC
Glad more people will be able to play this now. Strange seeing it coming to PlayStation and Xbox though, I wonder if that means Koei Tecmo are publishing it themselves this time
So glad to hear that the Castlevania anime will continue even as a separate series! @BispoSnake Maybe Alucard will make an appearance. My Castlvania knowledge isn't the greatest, but I'm sure Richter and Alucard are in at least one of the games together
NEO The World Ends With You is the only one on here I'm getting no matter what. Want to try the Ninja Gaiden Collection and Ys IX too though if I get the time and the Switch versions are good

Re: Pokémon Legends Players Will Get Some Extra Goodies If They Have Sword & Shield And Let's Go Save Files
So glad we actually get to find and catch it, speaking to a random guy and getting given a Mew etc is ridiculous
Re: Hideki Kamiya Says He Wants To Make An Okami Sequel "Someday"

Re: Feature: So, Who Will Be The Final Fighter In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate?
I voted for Amaterasu, but almost went for Sora or Rayman. I have a feeling it won't be any of them, but I can't be disappointed with Smash getting Banjo-Kazooie
Re: Smash Bros. Twitter Encourages Fans To Let Their Imaginations "Run Wild" Ahead Of The Final Fighter Reveal
I have a feeling it will be Waluigi. That would be fine, but I'd love to see Rayman, Sora or Isaac from Golden Sun

'Yeah it's possible... as possible as Mario and Zelda on other consoles' Brilliant.
Re: Nintendo 64 And Sega Genesis Expansion Pack Announced For Switch Online, Launches This October
I'm just glad Banjo-Kazooie is back on Nintendo. Hoping for Diddy Kong Racing and other Rare games too

Re: A New Limited-Time Pokémon Sword And Shield Coalossal Distribution Event Has Begun
@VoidofLight It's got a pretty solid competitive scene I believe

It's cool that it's based off of Wolfe's own Coalossal, but I'd much rather train my own Pokémon from scratch than use someone else's

Re: Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn's Ike Is Getting A 1/7th Scale Figure
Tempted. I do love Radiant Dawn, but this is out of my price range really. If they did a Sothe and/or Micaiah I would struggle to resist that
