I really don't think the "enduring partnership" reference was Nintendo & Rare. I think it was meant for Donkey and Diddy.

They're probably wondering what 25 year old game to bring to the Switch next.

I should have known. They cancelled ALL orders of SNES Classic. They were certainly quick to take my money though! Talk about a big slap in the face by Walmart and Nintendo.

No physical release = no buy. I know it's petty but I'd have liked this for my collection. $30 for 11 games that are easily playable elsewhere? No thanks.

I didn't care for I Am Setsuna but I'm probably getting this anyway. The system needs more RPGs.

Sounds like it's exactly as I expected it to be. A forgettable spin off from a beloved franchise. As a big PIkmin fan I will be getting this day 1. I knew it was going to be a dumbed down 2D version of the games and I'm okay with that. Of course I wish it were better but as such it's acceptable enough while I (im)patiently wait for Pikmin 4.

I was lucky to get a pre-order from Walmart. No cancellation yet and I'm praying it stays that way. They already took the money from my account so I'm hoping that's a good sign.

Unable to get an NES Classic at all, I had to make sure get on this ASAP. And I got SUPER LUCKY!! I got one!! That said it's so messed up the way these limited releases are being handled. It's like throwing 1 steak to a pack of 100 wolves. "Here you go, here's the thing you all wanted. No fight over it!"

For a split second I thought they announced a Switch version.

Mayo FTW! In fact I am eating a nice mayo drenched chicken sandwich as I type this!

The very thought of this has me super excited but the reality is it would be missing a lot of key gmaes - Diddy kong Racing, Goldeneye, Conker, Banjo, Perfect Dark, JFG... An N64 mini would still be a day 1 purchase for me but it wouldn't be as great as it could've been because of the lack of Rare titles.

@setezerocinco It's pretty ironic. For years people wanted games to return to that retro style, and people were excited when side scrollers made a triumphant return but now they're practically being shoved down our throats and we want less retro style games and more 3D and modern games. I just wish the industry would strike a balance between old and new, not all one or the other.

So far I'm loving it. But I REALLY hope that out of this comes a new Casltevani game...

Awesome stuff, as a big Castlevania fan I was not disappointed! We need more! Hopefully this series' success will lead to more Castlevania games!

Zelda DLC!! Anyone know what TIME the DLC drops? Like I am in Eastern Time zone, so will it drop at midnight for me? Or will it go by midnight Pacific time? Or noon tomorrow? I'd love to start playing it tonight.

I love Nintendo, they make great systems and even better games, but their business sense is just plain nonsensical. They need to get their heads out of their asses and start paying attention to consumer demand.

I really really really really really wish they would release this in NA in English.

Simon Belmont (or any Castlevania character) needs to be in Smash.

AM2R was great but Nintendo's official version looks even better! I love all this Metroid goodness!

2D METROID!!!!!!! / 10

But why?

I am more excited for this than anything they showed at the show...

Thank you! This is all I needed. I just needed confirmation that Hey Pikmin is NOT Pikmin 4. Thank you!!!

Quite possibly my favorite announcement of E3

Meh. Mario + Rabbids is the best looking game here but I am still not all that excited for it. I'll get it regardless in hopes that I find it fun.

I don't care what people say about em, Bethesda is one of the best current AAA developers. Props to them for giving Nintendo fans something extra. I'll be picking this up day one for sure despite already playing the hell out of it on PS3.

I have not been this excited an E3 in years. I think Nintendo will do awesome, possibly even "win" the show. I have no expectations as far as specific games go but I highly doubt I will be disappointed.

@Equinox Well I can't fix the populace's broken mindset. I wish more people would see the beauty and joy in RPGs like these instead of mindless shooting Call of Doodie crap.

@roadrunner343 Yes! When are they going to treat us non-Japanese with a little respect and give us these amazing games??

Can't wait!

I think we are at thats point where we should all just send Crapcom glitterbombs.

Why do they need to put a relationship sim in strategy games? I like Advance Wars because you're dealing with random units instead of individual people. Call me crazy but the whole "bonding" thing of Fire Emblem Awakening and Fates just bogged down the whole experience. I like Advance Wars for the gameplay not the personalities or story.

I loved the game. Mechanica ftw!

Okay sooo... as a huge 'Vania fan... I am cautiously optimistic. I don't want to overhype myself and be disappointed. But judging from the trailer I am hopeful and it looks good. I absolutely will be checking it out!

Listen, I get the hate and I personally think the Rabbids games and characters are stupid. But this could be fun, I'm not enthused about it but I'm not discounting it altogether. Hopefully if this is real then at least it turns out halfway decent.

Also? Turtle shelves. Turtle....SHELVES. Heroes in a half shelf.

I'm really torn on this. I love Street Fighter II but I have a few versions of it on SNES. $40 is a lot for a 25 year old game. For $20 I would've bought it instantly, but at this point I'll probably just wait for a price drop.

Turtle shelves.

Freakin Bomberman please!

One of my all time favorite systems and my favorite handheld. Soooo many fantastic games, some of which I'm still discovering today.

MIN MIN FTW!

Good! Blaster Master is a fantastic series! I would love to see more of them honestly. Blaster Master is one of my favorite NES games. I downloaded BMZ a few weeks ago and I haven't finished it but I've loved everything I've played so far.

No

Yes for the love of god bring Pokken to Switch. What a hidden gem that was!

I feel horrible in thinking that Yooka-Laylee is a big disappointment. It IS what they promised, yes. But I guess my expectations were too high. I love and adore all N64 platformers, especially the Rare games and Mario 64, but somehow Yooka-Laylee just feels like a cheap imitation of those games rather than a return to form. I just can't place my finger on it, I just don't find it fun. The challenges are annoying and tedious, not fun. The levels are big, almost TOO big and complex, and also not fun. The camera and controls aren't even the issues for me. The game design is just not fun. I say this as a GIGANTIC fan of N64 platformers and Rare's old stuff. Banjo-Kazooie, Tooie, Conker's bad Fur Day, Donkey Kong 64...all absolute classics and most of them are masterpieces IMO. But Yooka-Laylee... Ugh. I really don't know what they could've done to make it better. perhaps Make the levels a bit smaller and make more levels. I put 15 hours into the game and have 1 level left, and I'd say I've only truly enjoyed 1/3 of those hours. The other 2/3 consists of me wandering around aimlessly wondering how the hell do I navigate these levels as well as trying to complete seriously frustrating challenges (mine cart and Rextro's arcade, anyone???) Easily the most disappointing game of 2017 so far.

Split with a slight lean towards home console. If I'm home I'm on the TV. If I'm away like on lunch at my job or on Vacation I have it in portable. The Switch is an incredibly joyous system to use.

Not super excited about this one despite being a big Pikmin fan. It's not the change to 2D that bothers me, I encourage experimentation. But the control scheme seems so awkward. It's like Kid Icarus Uprising all over again. A good game marred by bad controls.

A complete waste of time and resources if you ask me.

Graghhh!! I just gave up eating fast food 2 weeks ago and I've done so well! Thanks for screwing with my diet, Nintendo!

Am I the only one who is really enjoying the resurgence of roguelikes? This game looks like a really interesting take on the genre.

@faint That's the thing, Nintendo needs to give some kind of benefit for third parties to develop on their consoles. Nintendo has gone out of their way to make the Switch easy to develop for and made it appealing to third parties but I guess it's not enough. Most third parties seem to praise the Switch but will "hold out" on developing for it.
