@Jumping_Dead I don't quite agree. Having a digital catalogue is note the same as accepting older physical media. Being backward comaptible means that it accepte older media by definition. Having Earthbound on the Switch is note backward compatiblity with the SNES, being able to use the original cartridge from back in the day would be backward compatibility.

@Jumping_Dead Having to buy them again digitally is NOT backward compatibility.

Backward compatibility is using the old physical media on new hardware.

@CharlieGirl How does Nintendo had anything to learn from Xbox there? Since the Xbox brand existed, it always used 12cm disks format (DVD and then BluRay) making it realy super easy to make the games usable on the next consoles.

How was Nintendo supposed to do that with the Switch? putting a freaking DVD player on the back of the console? Besides, Nintendo always tried to be backward compatible when possible : GBA played all GB and GBC games, DS played GBA games, 3DS played DS games, Wii played GC games, WiiU palyed Wii games (and GC with modding), I really don't see how they could do any better

@Effortlessgamer My thought exactly, and even if we take the WiiU instead of the cube, it is also a disc based home console, impossible to compare it to the Switch. It's totally different for Playstation who always had the same disc "size" (format would be wrong) frome de PS1 era to this day.

By the way the PS5 SHOULD could be able to play PS2 and PS3 games natively (or at least PS2, even if PS3 emulation came a long way)

How is it possible that backward compatibility could apply here? We are talking about a portable console from 2017 vs a disc based 2001's home console.

That's just a dumb statement

And after 30 years, NL discovered the Sky Boxes....

Why does he have 2 channels? It's in Japanese and subs in english, isn't that good for booth world?

@MichaelP Sure thing, Metroid is 3+ million now, but unless there is an official statement from Nintendo, he won't play Baland

And of course no new numbers for Metroid Dread, I guess RGT will never get to play Baland Wonderworld sadly

Metroid on NES for me, though I couldn't figure out what to do and was completely lost back in the days. I finished it many years after using a map, without map it's really a pain the a**

Nice Figurine, and the presentation make me thing of this meme :

And yet, the gameplay is Chameleon Twist...

@Friendly Unfortunately, the official numbers are still 2.9 millions, but still for Q1, they did not actualised it for Q2.

So technically, Shawn lost, but he wins because no-one says officialy otherwise

Yeah... we need news about the physical version, it's been long enough

Have a look at mine, certainly not as organised or with so many rare packs and games, but still not too bad

Isn't any Switch game that is simply dumped, playable on the Deck? That's a PC for god's sakes, of course it will emulate anything..

I don't see any problem with an optional censored mode, if some have problem with nudity or are too young, that can help.

Should have used the official MK8 steering wheel, it would fit the style more

Even back then, I was extremely dissapointed with Sunshine, after 64 and taking acount of the huge leap in power with the Game Cube, I was waiting for something huge, something miles away from 64, and it was the contrary

@Henmii But on which purpose would Nintendo care about the price of the phyisical copy in like 20 years?

It is just history who will vanish with the servers, that's a shame

Character design look totally off to me

That's a nice little mess that Nintendo is doing here...

I believe it was Prince Of Persia for DOS, but not far from that, Mario Land

@alexybubble When I was in Japan Mech simualtors were exactly what were taking a full floor at many arcades, games likes Gundam Battle Pods for exemple (https://otakuusamagazine.com/Uploads/Public/Images/Newsletter/1-8-13/GundamPod_02.jpg)

I tried to play one, really, you need a diploma to get it right, it's super complicated. I believe the machines were connected online, you were battling with other people at the same arcade, or maybe even on the whole Japan, I thought it was amazing

@alexybubble To be fair, especially in Japan, a ton of games come out with controllers that wouldn't be possible at home (Music game machines, but not only, look at Dance Central or the Densha de go with the crazy full sized train cabine)

For the rest you mention, I don't think that it's still possible for the arcade material to surpass home entertainment anymore. Most cabinet are PC based today, with the exact same components that are available to the general public.

It is far the time where arcade machines were so much ahead of everything we could get at home, sadly.

Lots of loose though. Can you imagine running into Mister Sakurai himself while game hunting in Akiba?

@Lizuka That doesnt make it better... Sega is not even the shadow to what they used to be, as a huge 199x sega fan, this saddens me big time

Welcome to 2022, where 199x games who were rereleased 1056005 times with no issues come out buggy

@Would_you_kindly Why bother having a fourth powerfull machine on the market? Already PS5, Xbox XS, PC... It's refreshing that Nintendo does something else. Not to mention that their games don't require a ton of power to look good (ex :Luigi's Mansion 3)

NES to SNES also went good, but those were indeed different times...

I cannot really think of anything else than a hybrid for the Switch successor, they created a whole new play genre with the Switch, going back to two systems wouldn't work IMO

The real question should be : Why the hell did they lost themself in all the s*itty 3D Sonic since then and never continued with SOAD3? Why a werwolf? Why a freaking knight?! WHY SONIC BOOM??? Don't get me wrong, SOAD 1 and 2 were far from being perfect, but that was hell lot better than all those awfull games we got since 20 years now!! I just don't get it

@Orokosaki Also it's not a LRG release, they are just an intermediate on this one, the game will hit store shelves.

@Joriss Yeah I feel like the digital version will predate the physical, unfortunately

@Joriss How is that too soon regarding that the game was first to be release in 2021?

As much as I love independents games being released physicaly, I cannot say the same for NES/SNES/MD games comming to modern platform. And when they are games that are commonly known for being extremely bad, I really don't get the purpose

Good, can we have the promised Physical Release now?

Now we need the promised physical release, i've been waiting for years.

Unleas the do reprints afterwards, cartridge will forever be incomplete, and thats no good, not at all

The two sequels : Rushing Beat Ran and Shurya are waaay better than the original.

Just play the japanese release, US and PAL ones were butchered

Did you find a super-mega rare N64 prototype? Yes, let me play it in 16:9 on a LCD screen

I own the expension to Doshin the Giant on 64DD, it's waaaay rarer than the base game.

When your real 90s Turtles looked way better than the 2022 one...

As much as I love my PS5, it is true that it has little to play on it despites some PS4 games that I haven't had the occasion to play back when they came out. I play my Switch way more than any other consoles since years now, and 2022 won't be any different. Looking forward for Xeno 3 and Bayonetta 3 primarily, but smaller project like Mario Striker are in fact not far behind for me, especially in terme of fun, which is the most important factor after all

Is it a good sign that they wake up like that just before an Indie World?

@Gtask025 He said 3 Million within the first year. Metroid Dread came out in october! So the game must sell 100k between april and october, he will lose, no way he win.

RGT85 better prepare for Baland Wonderworld

@rex_rex The GameBoy will be passed around holidays 2022 imo. The new Pokémon games will greatly help.

The SNES one is the second occurrence of the serie. The first one was in Arcade, PC Engine and Famicom (among others).

Reminds me a bit of hotel's Sharp TVs with SNES integrated

I wasn't expecting anything else. Wii Sport and Resort were also pretty bad for core gamers. I maybe played them for 10 minutes because it was new back in the day, with the "wow" effect from motion control, but after that those games have no deep whatsoever.
