Master Cycle Zero! Nice shoutout. 😊

@Tyranexx This is perfect for bar-cades.

No shade on private collections, but I prefer public collections that everyone can enjoy. 😊

Solid tag line! 😂

Interesting. It is a full priced game, but sounds like this one has a lot to offer. 🙂

@Daimando It has been a while, but I think with Labo VR you see duplicate fuzzy images when looking at the screen without the VR lenses.

To be fair, the cardboard kit also includes the lenses. It isn’t just cardboard.

@Anti-Matter Yes! Each will be sold individually.

I’m one in a million! 😊

@Serpenterror Yes! It would also be heavenly to get the Japan only GameCube Nintendo Puzzle Collection (4-player versions of Dr Mario, Yoshi’s Cookie, and Panel de Pon)! 😊

@Bass_X0 Just a funny side note prompted by your comment. Super Mario Bros. 2 USA is a streamlined version of Doki Doki Panic, where originally you had to replay all the levels with each of the four characters. 😊

Man, we need Doki Doki Panic on NSO!

Make’s me think of Lower Decks. 🤣🤣🤣

@jowy_sw It was under development before the Switch released. This collection should have been on the 3DS (and later on Switch after it proved more successful than the Wii U).

@HotGoomba 💯 Dr. Winters hiding under the bench was very funny!

“Nothing to see here. Move along.”

@HammerGalladeBro My daughter tells me the giant Mii was in the 3DS game and can happen when they dream.

@MamaSymphonia It might work for Switch, but for Switch 2, I doubt the screen will fit the Labo VR kit.

This one looks more like Galaxy than Odyssey. 🙂

A week before Mario Tennis Fever releases? This tracks.

The bonus letters are great! However, none about Nintendo/games? We better send in more letters!

I bet the pro players can notice the difference and can chime in why it is more comfortable.

@AussieMcBucket Indeed! I probably have a good chance for getting the Kirby one, but several of the themes have not returned.

I forgot to get the Kirby Air Rides themes.

As many have pleaded, it would be nice to have a way to unlock any of the past themes.

@StewdaMegaManNerd You have the best comment on this thread!!! 💯

Congratulations!!!

My two daughters grew up with Animal Crossing on the GameCube. Such good memories. ❤️

And it helped motivate them to learn how to read. 😊

@OldGamer999 How I wanted Streaming to be. Just Netflix with all the movies. 😬

However, we get a lot of good content due to the competition (in both TV, movies, and games). 😊

And the Switch is still portable! Nice! 😊

We already had a rumor on what I want: The Disney Afternoon Collection. 😊

I wondered if he was just looking to retire fully, but this doesn’t surprise me

Those jobs are pretty exclusive, but somebody gets to do them. Congrats Doug and Carla! 🙂

Reggie was unique, and was a public Western face during the slower Wii U days.

Doug was great, and handled things behinds the scenes during COVID.

Devon will have her own style and challenges, and will do great! 😊

I am here for the eShop version, but hope there is a physical release for those that want it. 🙂

It should be an easy sales pitch, but it was probably difficult to get Disney, Capcom, and Digital Eclipse back to the negotiating table.

@JohnnyMind @Not_Soos @MarzoriuM It will be this collection’s 9th anniversary in April. 😊

@MarzoriuM I understand why it skipped the Wii U. However, it should have been released for the 3DS, and then later on Switch after the Switch proved to be successful.

@JohnnyMind Indeed! 🥳🎉🥂

LEGO has long transitioned to be a rich man’s hobby.

@OorWullie I finally finished the NES Contra, but I had to use the Konami Code for the extra lives. 😬

@arekdougy Gotcha! That clarifies it. Thanks! 😊

Seems like the toggle switch on the LEGO builds wouldn’t work correctly if the cartridge top was centered. Builders should notice the problem, right?

I’ll need to buy my own to investigate. 🙂

I wonder if people have been opting for the digital version, but that could be said about all of the games on the list. 🤔

@Lord It depends on the IP owners. Some Taito games go on sale. Qix has gone on sale twice, first at 50% and later at 30%.

Some games have only gone on sale once, like some of the Nintendo titles (in 2023 at 30% off).

Many games on my wish list have never been discounted, like Frogger.

With the variety of titles, everyone probably has a few that are ‘must owns’.

For games not yet released, I would pay full price for Gorf (Midway) and Gyruss (Konami).

As for already released games, Volfied (Taito) is a hidden gem (which is really Qix 2).

And Capcom has Capcom Arcade Stadium where individual titles are $2 and they have bundled options too.

Hamster deserves to get paid, so I don’t expect to see games for $2. However, $8 is a premium price for a single title.

Discounts are good, but are controlled by the IP owners. Most of the Arcade Archive titles have not gone on sale (or have gone on sale only once).

Taito games, though, do go on sale. So there is hope for this one.

Dang. I missed out on the Mario Picross ones.

@PlatinumTour You are right, too. It was an incentive for parents. Nintendo could probably boost console sales late in the life cycle by rereleasing the games as cheaper Selects titles (and the console was usually discounted by then too).

Like I said before, the eShop is now where the discounts should be on old first party titles.

@Exerion76 @PlatinumTour Nintendo’s Selects was a way to bring back older games to store shelves. This is less needed now since all of these games are perpetually on the eShop.

To the point, though, yes - the older eShop games should get the Selects treatment with permanent discounts (or frequent discounts).

Maybe we will get another GameCube game drop for Christmas. Mario Sunshine? 🤔

After the new year, I will play something random like Welcome Tour as my first 2026 game. 🤓

@Liam_Doolan @HammerGalladeBro @Dr_Corndog @NintendoBMA @MathByThePixel The main theme morphs into a Spaghetti Western type song (a la The Ecstasy of Gold from The Good, The Bad, The Ugly).

I am ready to ride Vi-O-La across the desert! 😊❤️
