Dreamcaster-X

The Switch version definitely looks better in person. It's using better textures as well in many instances, the lighting system has also been overhauled. Frame rate is a different story though. If they can tweak the frame rate a bit, this will be a very good version.

All the doom & gloom & we don't even know if the game is good or not yet. Typical internet reactions of course.

Oh the drama!! It's the end of times!!! It's still a great game & if you don't want to buy it then don't. The old times never bothered me so any improvement is just a bonus.

Played it for 3 hours straight last night! Once you get past the controls which have a slight learning curve, it's highly addictive trying to 100% a level of all the collectibles!

Great title to pick up & play for a few matches, all the characters what few there are of course are diverse & fun.

I love popping this in & just blasting everything for dumb arcade action fun, ya just need that once in a while & it's now portable.

Seems like a no-brainer to bring it to Switch, I wonder what the holdup is...

Best feature of the OS is that it's super quick to use & navigate, a GIANT departure from Wii U's UI/OS.

Time for Nintendo to step in & publish it!! One can dream...

@flapjackashley2 Yes it's all yellow & has the multicolored buttons like the smaller New 3DS models. It was released in Malaysia about 2 months ago.

Reminds me of this Japanese commercial for Super Mario Advance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FO2c_Mre2Nw

Makes sense. There would be no way it could do 1080p without a fan. I have the Android TV Nvidia Shield console so that's in line with what I was expecting.

How about a new game? This free content is great & all but a sequel would be preferred at this point.

What if their next project is F-Zero NX? They'd be a great fit!!

I'll definitely play it but man I wish the graphics were sprite based like the Shantae games!!

@rjejr It actually says "Roll on March 2017" & that's his personal opinion of wanting to get one in his hands.

These are speculative articles. Do people even know what that means? They NEVER said it was a fact.

@Zeldafanforlife Actually the Gamecube & Wii used an IBM Power PC processor with a GPU made by ATI. The only system they used AMD for was the Wii U.

@kenrulei 2016 isn't over yet.

@samuelvictor Well the Gamecube, N64 & Dreamcast games usually suffer from a myriad of issues. The 16 & 32 bit stuff is flawless.

It's still amazing that this was discovered in the condition it was. A rare piece of video game history that deserves to be preserved.

Remember that time that all your favorite websites only wrote articles on things that ONLY you want to read????

Yeah, me neither

@Lady_rosalina Get used to it. The game is generating clicks on every site it is on. That is why everyone is reporting on it. It makes them money.

The parks by my house are overrun in the evenings with people playing it. People of all ages, races, etc are playing it in droves. It has to be unprecedented for an app to have taken off in such a phenomenal manner. IF they can keep the updates coming & stabilize the servers they could have a gold mine for a very long time.

I rarely trade in Nintendo first party games. The last one I sold was Sticker Star.

Bring it on!!! NX & ALL, I'm READY!!!

@Krisi Yeah, I've seen that demonstrated on the Nvidia Shield emulator. You just press in on the analog & it switches the top/bottom screens on the fly.

It's so strange that the GBA & DS's library are not available on the 3DS. The GBA games look great on a TV but with the limited screen options they give for DS games & some that are heavy touch or stylus based I can't imagine them selling many titles from that system's library.

@Dakt Exactly what I was thinking too. And also too, the NintendOS emulating Android & iOS doesn't seem far fetched either. It would make for easy ports of those "casual" mobile games too. Most of these rumors on this list make a whole lot of sense. Definitely the most sound descriptions I've read of the device.

This is the type of game far better suited for a handheld. Looks interesting so far.

This is what's great about fan translations, they keep adding to the SNES/Super Famicom library for us non Japanese reading players. New titles get added every year for it, it's awesome!!

I've been around long enough to know when a Nintendo console is winding down. The flood of long delayed (In the west) JRPG's coming to the console shows that the development well is coming to a close as they start shifting to whatever the NX will be & I'm perfectly fine with that. There's a ton of RPG goodness coming out this year.

I don't think the "New" 3DS was designed to jump start sales this late in the generation but to merely provide a stop gap until the inevitable NX portable releases. 2016 is probably the 3DS's last hurrah. Just look at the releases this year, it's jam packed with JRPG's that have been out in Japan for over a year or more. (Not Complaining) I'm perfectly Ok with this, I LOVE my 3DS & will play it for years to come due to my backlog but the market is ready for their next portable.

@Xenocity I don't know what they're playing them on but my 3DS runs my Ambassador games flawlessly.

A unified account system where GBA games purchased on Wii U are now playable on the 3DS would be really awesome!!

@H_Hunter It's at a 73 on Metacritic, his score is pretty much in line with the general consensus of reviewers.

I just love reading all the "technology experts" opinions that come out of the woodwork on articles like this. QUITE ENJOYABLE!!

@andrew20 I would buy all the GBA & DS Pokemon on Virtual Console with these features. Maybe if these do well, it will convince them to bring over the other games.

I love reading all the whiny comments, most are so typical. People let their OWN hopes get up about stuff & then cry when it's not what they envisioned in their head. You should know by now to never try to guess what a Nintendo announcement will be.

I don't get it...why are people "upset" & really who gives fug if they are?? People are so damned whiny & then the "media" perpetuates it by making it an article over what is probably a very tiny minority. Let them be angry, there's a lot more going on in the world to direct your anger at.

If they ever do this for the SNES, I would buy one in a heartbeat!

@GamePerson19 Because it probably is!! That's why they've been coy about a NA release. I'd bet anything it becomes an NX launch title, it fills in the "fighting game" category quite nicely for their new system debut.

Kids will love this!! Get over it "old folks", Nintendo is not targeting us whether we like it or not. They already have us, their marketing is about grabbing children to play just the same way they did with us in the 80's & 90's.

@KeeperBvK What??? I never mentioned another platform in my post. Paranoia much?

It's a great game, glad to see a developer who is so public friendly & seems to care.

The Super FX chip is not hard to emulate, Rasberry Pi's & Ouya's do it with ease & it can be done with far less computing power than that!!

Their SNES games have pretty crappy emulation options & the screen area is smaller than the GBA games, WTF? The GBA games are by far the best looking emulated games on the system. The N64 stuff looks decent enough as well, too bad we'll only be limited to a majority of Nintendo 1st party titles for that console. It's a shame we'll never see Goldeneye, Banjo Kazooie, Conker, etc....

No arguments here. As you said, their Directs are absolutely wonderful but their use of FB & Twitter is abysmal. This Amiibo situation could be totally handled much better with both of those tools but they just remain silent in their ivory tower.

The problem is Kyoto, they just have too many old board members who are content to remain in the past where they kept uber strict controls on everything. That just doesn't work anymore....if you don't address issues nowadays people just move on.

When the hell are they gonna release more Wii VC games??? They always do this where they rollout a new system, release a couple of games & then it disappears for weeks at a time.

@Quorthon Indeed!! If Nintendo had switched to the cheaper CD format for their next console after SNES they probably would have maintained their dominance but the 3rd parties ran to the Playstation in droves & you can't blame them, CD-Rom games were just much cheaper to make & you could include so much information on them vs cartridge at the time.
