@breach187 @chickje Hamster is doing great work with the Arcade Archives (and they deserve to get paid). However, these are a much better deal (for the digital titles). Capcom is bringing them to the consumer directly. Well played.
This reminds of the Mario Party board where you go around and invest coins in hotels. Highest bidder gets the stars for that hotel. We had a lot of fun with that board. ๐
@Suketoudara If I remember correctly, getting three stars on the GBA game meant completing a level under a certain time limit. The Switch version does have a time trial mode as a separate mode.
The nice thing about the GBA version is you might get three stars on your first run. So then you donโt have to play it a second time.
For me, though, I usually donโt care about time trial achievements.
EDIT: Looks like the GBA game has one star for each level and you need to get a certain score, which is improved by finishing the level quickly.
@Pho I know it isnโt a movie tie in, but having the new Yoshi game release along with the movie would make the most sense. But so far, no word on a release date for the game.
@Serpenterror Yes! It would also be heavenly to get the Japan only GameCube Nintendo Puzzle Collection (4-player versions of Dr Mario, Yoshiโs Cookie, and Panel de Pon)! ๐
@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. ๐
@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).

Re: Unsurprisingly, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie Looks Set To Be A Huge Success
The Super Mario 2, World, Odyssey, Galaxy, Nintendo Cinematic Universe movie.
I will watch it. ๐ฟ

Re: Talking Point: Should Nintendo Have Kept The Mario Galaxy Movie Fox Reveal Under Wraps?
@angtre @PepperMintRex Now they can bring Star Fox into Mario Kart World. ๐
Re: Nintendo To Change Pricing For Digital & Physical Switch 2 Exclusives, Starting With Yoshi
Not first party, but the original Puyo Puyo Tetris was cheaper on the eShop (and the physical also included a bonus keychain).

The reflection of a creature in her eyes is a nice subtle touch, but I still went with NA.

@DollyrotsFan1 Bring on the games they said they would add, like Super Mario Sunshine.
Glad we got Chibi-Robo! ๐

Re: Feature: Nintendo Life eShop Selects (February 2026)
And the Disney Afternoon Collection has instructions for each game. Very nice! ๐
NSO needs this feature added.
Re: Pokรฉmon-Themed Mini Game Boy Announced, Though It's Not What You Think

Re: Review: The Disney Afternoon Collection (Switch 2) - A Delightful Yet Difficult '90s Throwback
@dazzleshell And unlike NSO, each of these games includes instructions on how to play each game. ๐๐โค๏ธ
Re: Pokรฉmon Presents February 2026: Time, Date, How To Watch
@Dazman Announcing FRLG a week early makes sense so that they build up some marketing and donโt totally shadow drop them today.
But otherwise, I agree. They are probably still holding back some other big announcements. ๐
Re: Review: The Disney Afternoon Collection (Switch 2) - A Delightful Yet Difficult '90s Throwback
@h3s This collection adds two SNES games. The previous collection is not getting updated with these new additions (yet).
Re: Review: The Disney Afternoon Collection (Switch 2) - A Delightful Yet Difficult '90s Throwback
I prefer bulk pricing like this. A much better deal than buying games individually. ๐
This should have released on the 3DS and later on Switch within the first year. Glad it is finally here! ๐ฅณ
Re: Nintendo Music Update Adds Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins Album, Here's Every Song Included
It is neat that the Music app gets updates frequently. NSO is getting schooled. ๐
Re: Poll: Will You Be Getting Pokรฉmon FireRed Or LeafGreen On Switch?
These two games combined will easily outsell the Disney Afternoon Collection, LOL.

Re: Hamster's Next 'Console Archives' Game Is Coming Later This Week
@JackieCMarlow Yeah, I wonโt hold my breath. However, I think it has a slightly better chance of coming here than coming to NSO.

Re: Round Up: The Previews Are In For Pokรฉmon Pokopia
Interesting. It is a full priced game, but sounds like this one has a lot to offer. ๐
Re: Round Up: The Previews Are In For Virtual Boy - Nintendo Classics
@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.
Re: Round Up: The Previews Are In For Virtual Boy - Nintendo Classics
To be fair, the cardboard kit also includes the lenses. It isnโt just cardboard.
Re: Hamster's 'Console Archives' Starting Lineup Revealed, Includes More Than 10 Titles
