@WheresWaveRace Funny use of the word "objectively."

Started collecting NES carts (again) after I found a working NES at a yard sale about 3 years ago. Got a RetroTink to run it through. Nothing beats original hardware.

The scores on this list are comically low.

Where's the option "No, voice acting would be an actual detriment?" Because that's the correct choice.

I'm a day-one adopter who plays his Switch 2 every day, and even I have a hard time understanding why it's selling so well.

Feels weird to hear good news regarding XBox right now.

Bought it this morning with my 30% discount and messed around with it a bit. Not once did I think about the framerate.

@Suketoudara I remember seeing that Easter egg as a kid and not getting the reference, then replaying Pokemon years later and knowing exactly what it was talking about. And then I forgot that Easter egg was there.

Hey, I can finally play Mario & Wario!

As someone who enjoyed the original very much (though I only played it after it had been patched multiple times, I must admit), I'm really looking forwsrd to this.

@mlt That might make a Waluigi fan out of me.

I'll pick up the Wario ones.

I don't normally get fussed about day-one patches, but I have to wonder why it was required for ports of a couple 15-plus-year-old games.

I feel like it was probably designed with 1st-person in mind, considering the previous two entries. But I'll see which I prefer. Still have to play Village, though.

A few significant additions/enhancements to these games would go a long way to justify the price. They wouldn't have to be huge changes, either.

@The_Nintendo_Pedant Exactly. People here complain about the prices of Nintendo games because those are the games they care about.

Voice acting is the biggest addition? Shame. That's a pretty weak addition, and one that detracts from a game at least as often as it adds.

You're still getting an amazing game in FFT, though, so this is well worth checking out if you've never played it before.

Great update on paper. Looking forward to seeing how it pans out.

Really good response to the first letter. Pretty much nailed it.

Wow, now those are some quality adds.

I'd love that Samus + bike amiibo, but no way I'm dropping that kind of crazy cash.

This game has some really obnoxious design when it comes to certain bosses and runbacks.

Still giving it a 10.

@MyMemory I never said people don't have a right to be upset about some of the shenanigans corporations will pull. I didn't say anything about my own views. You've made some assumptions about what I think.

@MyMemory Sorry, I didn't realize I wasn't allowed to voice my opinion.

Online discussion about corporations and economics is braindead right now, and it's tiresome.

@Metazoxan I've seen $50 figures before. These ain't them.

Price too high, and I already have both games on Wii.

$50 is insane. I saw that and thought surely it must be a placeholder price.

Gave it a 9. Would've given a 10 if they'd announced plans to finish Mario Kart World.

I can finally play VB Wario Laaaaaaaaaaand!

Gotta finish the Battle Network collection first. I just got my copy a couple months ago. But cool to see!

MP4 release date.

My mom rented Bubsy II for me when I was a kid, and it made me cry. Not because I didn't like the game (I didn't), but because renting a game was a rare treat and I felt that the game had spoiled her kind act.

Is this necessary? The game's not that hard.

I'll vote for the one with the pretty lady.

Replaying Hollow Knight and it's absolutely nuts this game sold for only $15.

30% off? Day one fore shore.

@SpacedDuck Patch a 720p screen to display 1080p?

Thought about replaying it for years and the Silksong announcement finally got me to do it.

@jsty3105 TBH it means nothing on its own, because it's anecdotal. I just felt like saying something.

Funny, because I feel like I hardly know anyone who has one. Besides myself, I mean. But it was the same story for the first year of the Switch, as well.

@MSaturn Right. 15 million sales is incredible, and rare. There are issues with the games industry now, and plenty of stories of executives muddling a studio's creation, but to point to Team Cherry and say "every game's development should be like this" is simplistic. Team Cherry is in a privileged position.

Hollow Knight is the best metroidvania that doesn't have the word "Metroid" in the title that I've ever played. Silksong should be incredible.

Game is amazing. Can't believe I've only played it once.

I love it when awful games are included in collections like this. Gives me a chance to try something I'd never spend money on.

"Absolum, Absolum, Absolum!"

Humor is way too on-the-nose. But it could be a good game.

@LordPieFace Same people who gave a 1 to Star Fox Zero.

Thanks for the review. I've been eyeing this dock for a bit.

I like Superstars but it fell well short of what Mania 2 almost certainly would have been.

How do these perform, though?
