@joey302 Discounts seem to come from the IP owners. I’ve seen Namco and Taito games discounted. One time, some of the Nintendo titles. Like you said, though, many never get discounted.
@JohnnyMind @Markiemania95 I was thinking of Super Mario RPG’s end credits too. The fireworks are not until the end, but the whole scene is a great nod to Disneyland’s Main Street Electrical Parade. 😊
@xmkbest I had the same thought. A vertical screen flip grip type thing.
Since the Switch 2 is heavy. It could be something that rests on the table and keeps the screen secure. You could hold a Joycon in one hand and touch the screen with the other.
@FrenchVaniIIuxe I totally agree. More Nintendo themed Picross games, please.
In addition to the two Mario games, we had Pokemon Picross and Twilight Princess Picross (both on 3DS). Any other Nintendo themed ones that I am missing?
@Coolmusic @hYdeks @Dang_69 @The21zonz @Anachronism @TCKuma @AussieMcBucket @IronMan30 @dux @ShadLink @PepperMintRex I agree with all of your comments. It can just be an animated short and nothing more.
It would be nice if you got a discount on new titles after multiple Arcade Archive purchases. I’ve probably spent over $100 on Arcade Archive games up to this point. They need a loyalty program.
I have to limit my purchases to ones that I really think are worth the premium prices. There are sales on some titles, but most never get a reduced price.
Namco games do go on sale, though, so I will add this to my wish list.
@Pixitis I don’t disagree with you. Hamster deserves to be paid for this excellent work.
However, a lower price point could lead to increased sales. So they would make less per sale, but could potentially make up the difference in volume sold.
That said, I am sure they have analyzed the price points quite a bit. 🙂
@LinktotheFuture I know it isn’t a ton of money, but it is premium pricing for a single ROM.
I prefer bulk purchases in collections. The Namco Museum is often on sale for about $5. 11 titles for less than the price of a single Arcade Archive release.
Thanks for publishing my letter. I do appreciate the humor. 😂
@XiaoShao I like your theory on the missing Disney Afternoon Collection. It is probably difficult to renegotiate a contract with Disney, Capcom, and Digital Eclipse.
I do have the collection on Steam, but I mostly don’t play games on my PC. I would buy it again on Switch. 😊

The music in the top trailer is very Spaghetti Western like. I love it!

Re: Super Mario Galaxy Movie Nintendo Direct Announced For Wednesday, 12th November
@rio_j I totally agree, but they have 1.36 billion reasons to make another animated Mario movie (💰).

Re: Rumour: New Crash Bandicoot Racing Artwork Has Some Fans Excited
@UpsideDownRowlet Diddy Kong Racing will be the last to arrive.
Re: Nintendo Download: 6th November (North America)
@World Gotcha. I just haven’t seen them listed here on the weekly releases since Munch Mobile a few weeks ago.
Re: Zelda: A Link To The Past And Chrono Trigger Are "Ripe For Remakes", Says Analytics Firm
I don’t have time for more than one console, but I would really like to play the Uncharted games someday. 😊
Re: Nintendo Download: 6th November (North America)
When was the most recent Arcade Archives game released?

Re: The Nintendo Museum Has Already Played Host To Over Half A Million Visitors
The demand is like for Hamilton tickets.
They should do what Hamilton did. Make a video special that shows all of the exhibits. Or make a Switch 2 museum tour.
Re: "I'm Running On Fumes" - Digital Eclipse Is Scrambling To Address Issues With Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection
@Serpenterror Yup, unfortunately.
I am hoping for a 10th anniversary edition in 2027 (but I won’t hold my breath). 😊
Re: "I'm Running On Fumes" - Digital Eclipse Is Scrambling To Address Issues With Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection
I wish nothing but the best for Digital Eclipse. I have faith that they will work out the bugs. Please get the rest that the team deserves and needs.
However, one day, I would still like them to release the Disney Afternoon ‘Legacy’ Collection for Switch. 😊
Re: Dragon Quest Creator Yuji Horii Has Been Awarded One Of Japan's Highest Honours
@Truegamer79 And if you are looking for a more modern and lengthy experience, then give Dragon Quest 11 a try.
Re: Dragon Quest Creator Yuji Horii Has Been Awarded One Of Japan's Highest Honours
@Truegamer79 If you don’t mind spending the money, definitely go for Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake. 😊
You can always sell the physical version after you finish it or if you don’t like it.
Re: Opinion: Animal Crossing On Switch 2 Has Me Equal Parts Buzzing And Baffled
I would like a completely LEGO version of Animal Crossing. 😊
Re: Nintendo Seems To Be Uploading Old Nintendo Power Covers To Nintendo Today!
@foursider @SplatRay001 The first issue of Nintendo Power has an article about people in Japan lining up to buy Dragon Quest III. 😊❤️
Re: Nintendo Seems To Be Uploading Old Nintendo Power Covers To Nintendo Today!
Bring instruction manuals to NSO, please.
Re: Everything Included In The Animal Crossing: New Horizons - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition & Free 3.0 Update

Re: Surprise! Animal Crossing: New Horizons - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Arrives Next Year
Nintendo buried the headline.
Thanks for mentioning it Jim: Also, BULK CRAFTING!!!!! 😊❤️

Re: Nintendo Expands Switch 2's GameCube Library Next Week With A Spooky Classic
I just started Dark Moon HD. 😊
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch 2's GameCube Library Next Week With A Spooky Classic
I’ll play this again. 😊
The 3DS version is also a very good port.
Re: Nintendo's Trademarking 'Virtual Console' Again, But Don't Get Your Hopes Up
@RCGamer I would like NSO to add instruction manual scans. Let me read the manuals on my TV or on the Switch screen.
Re: Rumour: Nintendo Patent Supposedly Points To Return Of DS Games
@xmkbest Right. And since both Joycon have mouse mode, they could include ambidextrous control options. 🙂

Re: Community: 32 Switch Games We Missed, As Recommended By You
It didn’t make the cut, but check out Arcade Archives: VOLFIED, which is a sequel to Qix.
Re: Nintendo Download: 9th October (North America)
I haven’t bought any EGGCONSOLE games, but it seems like they are doing similar work as Arcade Archives, but with Japanese home computer games.
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's SNES Library With Three More Titles
@BrazillianCara One game I’d like added is Tetris & Dr. Mario (half of it is a first party title 😉).
Re: Mario's Super Picross Has Got Some Rather Lovely NSO Icons
@FrenchVaniIIuxe I totally agree. More Nintendo themed Picross games, please.
In addition to the two Mario games, we had Pokemon Picross and Twilight Princess Picross (both on 3DS). Any other Nintendo themed ones that I am missing?

Sometimes good story telling leaves things up to the imagination. 😊
Re: Poll: So, Did You Get Super Mario Galaxy 1 + 2 For Switch?
@cdubbed I’ve been thinking of doing the same thing. 3D All Stars will be redundant once Sunshine is added to NSO.
Re: Nintendo Denies Lobbying Japanese Government Over AI, Will "Take Necessary Actions" Over IP Rights
@jojobar My brother doesn’t have much motivation to read any books that are published after 2020 (because of AI).
Good thing I have a backlog of books to read. 😊

Re: Talking Point: Can Metroid Prime 4's Title Screen Go As Hard As The Others?
Metroid: Samus Returns has some of the best 3D visuals on 3DS (including the title screen).

@Suketoudara I am here for it when it does release. Best of luck to the devs!!! 😊
Re: The Next Arcade Archives Release Will Have Mouse Controls On Switch 1 & 2
@Suketoudara Now I am sad that Mouse Work isn’t out yet. 😉
Re: Review: Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Switch) - Still Out Of This World
@Member_the_game Similar for me. I may wait to see some Black Friday discounts.
The visual enhancements may justify getting Galaxy 1 again. 😊
Re: Review: Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Switch) - Still Out Of This World
@MTMike87 Same, I will pick this up probably by the end of the year.
I have 3D All Stars and Galaxy 2 (Wii U), but I will buy this collection for the visual updates (for both). 🙂
