As others have said, they should reduce the amount of plastic used. I think the size of a deck of cards, but thinner. Still large enough to not easily get lost. And large enough for some box art.

EDIT: Though, I do wonder if the larger cases make them harder to steal.

I just bought the first one on sale. Looking forward to it. 😊

Now for my frequent petition to get Donkey Kong ‘94 on the Game Boy app.

A lot of N64 games haven’t aged well, but this one looks pretty good. 😊

Speaking of manuals, I wish the NSO games included instruction manual scans. Or QR codes that linked to official scans (like they did for the NES and SNES mini consoles).

I voted GC, but Game Boy is a close second!

So many good ones!

Great review Jess! 😊

DKCR HD is $45 on Woot right now (in the States). 😊

@Gryffin Lego City Undercover is one of my favorite LEGO games. The story includes a lot of funny parodies.

There are several racing missions and challenges, but individual levels are played like more traditional LEGO games (platforming as a character).

Lego City Undercover is basically an open world racer with missions.

@Zaruboggan With all the Tour City tracks, I thought for sure we would have gotten a New Donk City track!

Like Heists and Story-Hub world, I would like to see a story mode with missions

@MrCarlos46 Yeah, should be non-transferable.

It may be difficult, but this should be fixed.

Great!

Music App update rate > NSO Console update rate 😝

We want it all, Nintendo! 😊

It is really nice that touchscreen support has been added. However, reviewers can only review what is in the game at launch. Most review scores won’t reflect this update.

Similar thing when Nintendo released Mario Golf with announced expansions. Reviewers can note that DLC is coming, but can only review what is there at launch.

I’ll be playing other games too, but I have had a lot of fun with Clubhouse Games recently. 😊

EDIT: Not sure how much exposure Cribbage has in Japan, but I wish Clubhouse Games had included Cribbage.

@JohnnyMind Guadia Quest was such a pleasant surprise in the Retro Game Challenge. 😊

Probably the only RPG my daughter ever played (and enjoyed). Though, she has played a lot of the farming games like Stardew Valley.

With Ori and Cuphead, Microsoft realized they didn’t need a handheld. One was already available to them.

@Splash_Woman Classic story! ❤️ And who knows, your six year old may try again in the future. 😊

And this is also part of the reason why games need demos. Not sure if DKC Returns HD has a demo.

A very good point. Young kids are going to want to play other characters, not just the ones designated for easy mode. 😊

@BoFiS @Divide_and_Wander Right! The Mario Kart steering assist keeps them from falling off ledges.

@VR32X And DK ‘94. 😊

@Serpenterror The original DK arcade game, DK ‘94, and Mario vs. DK are all great games. And they are considered DK games, however, you don’t play as DK in them.

Like you said, people want new games playing as DK. A 3D game would be awesome. 😊

That said, I hope DK ‘94 is added to the NSO app soon. 🤞

@thesilverbrick I was surprised and pleased that Metroid Prime was only $40.

I always thought Link’s Awakening HD set the bad precedent. It should have been in the $40-$50 range.

At least Mario vs DK was $50 at release.

And Pikmin 1 & 2 were bundled together. Same for the upcoming Dragon Quest 1 & 2.

I got my copy for $50 from Woot, but looks like their inventory is currently sold out. There is a good chance, though, that they will get more in stock.

@GameName I am with you. I prefer the Namco Arcade collection or the Capcom Arcade Stadium approach.

Arcade Archives are more premium and are stand alone titles, but still $8.

I like the idea of rare games getting re-releases, but like many have said, this price is high for the digital version.

@Serpenterror I would think that NSO would pay owners for 3rd party titles, but I don’t know how much.

Regardless, great point! I hadn’t considered other consoles. Thanks!

@-wc- You are correct. 2013 is a typo. It released in 2003.

Great for people that want to own games, but I would rather just see it on the NSO GBA app. 😬

It will be a tough balance. We want to support indie games, but we also want to declutter the eShop.

Still, it is very nice and humble of him to encourage players to try other indie games. 😊

I am in the States. I was going to wait, but had some Christmas cash and got it from Woot for $50.

These are things that I didn’t notice, so great secret reveals!

Yars Rising was a lot of fun (developed by WayForward, published by Atari). 😊

@anoyonmus Agreed! The Switch brand is strong. Glad they went with Switch 2.

Switch-Tooie would also be acceptable. 😉

Confirmation that DK knows how to write (or at least draw pictures). 😉

Now that this is releasing, maybe we will get DK 64 and DK ‘94 on the NSO apps. 😊🤞

I will say this, it is hard to go back to the small screens of the 3DS after playing Switch. Guess my eyes are also getting older. 🤓

@Mana_Knight @Bigmanfan Looking at it literally, DK is a gorilla and Diddy is a monkey. As fictional characters, though, Nintendo can have fun with their mascot stories. 😊

@joey302 Right. And it appears the Arcade Archive discounts are determined by the companies that own the ROMs, not by Hamster.

@PikminMarioKirby It would be funny if they don’t reveal HW on Thursday and announce that it is the Year of Donkey Kong. 🤣

@MontyCircus Yup! Also why I wish Arcade Archives had a subscription service.

400 Arcade Archive Titles * $8/game = $3,200.

@Zaruboggan Great points!

I hope my Arcade Archive purchases carry forward to the next console. 🤞

@Truegamer79 And yet, Donkey Kong ‘94 is still not on the Game Boy NSO app. Maybe in 2025? 🤞

I am ready for the LEGO Animal Crossing game.

@Stormcloudlive @Austrian @BoilerBroJoe @Serpenterror
400 games x $8 = $3,200.

Not that I bought that many, but I will feel much better about my purchases if they will transfer to Switch 2. 😊🤞🙏

@Andee I found it to be a fun metroidvania, but I also have a lot of nostalgia for the IP. It probably won’t be too difficult for most, but I wasn’t looking for a “hard as nails” game. And I did like the soundtrack. Enjoy! 😊

@Zeebor15 Right! Yars Rising is published by Atari, but developed by WayForward.

And it was a lot of fun. 😊

Actually, Clubhouse Games has a shooting gallery similar to the one on Wii Play. I need to revisit Clubhouse games soon for that mode. 😊
