To be fair, it WAS based on a niche franchise that most people have never heard of.

They should've gone with a more popular IP like Pikmin. 😬😬😬

Ecco is not worse than Ristar.

Ah I'm not great at games but I still managed to beat Zelda II without save states. There's wayyyy harder NES games.

I'd pay double what I do now. Which is next to nothing by splitting up a family plan with friends.

@Paraka For myself, I liked the Spirit Adventure mode thing enough to play through it twice. Classic mode I've gone through with every character. I think my hours logged on Ultimate is pretty ridiculous considering I mostly have played it Single player.

I guess it depends on what you want from Single player in a fighting game. Nowadays, an arcade mode isn't enough for me personally. But for others, it's all they want.

Thank you for this PSA, NintendoLife.

@Paraka I suppose it all comes from opening Pandora's box. As soon as a model becomes popular, it gets standardised, and then there's no going back. Free-to-play, continuous updates, the rapid devaluation of games (where anything 6 months old should be a budget title), and so on. Nobody is stopping to see where this is all going.

Not me, though. I still play my Wii U. But with Switch which is no longer able to play on the TV, Smash is purely a single player eexperience for me - one in which I've done everything. Which is why I've welcomed each new fighter because it gives me a reason to log on.

@Paraka I liked them all for what they were - an excuse for me to log on to Smash again and do some single player content. But the fighting game characters always gave me a buzz because without the genre being such a huge part of growing up in the 90s I might never have gotten into Smash in the first place.

Ah well. 5 out of 6 ain't bad. Was really hoping for Mortal Kombat representation for the last one.

Why did this comment section turn into a huge math debate...

Wow. There's a name I haven't heard in 20 years... And it's the second time it entered my consciousness today! The first was talking about it to my 5 year old when he was asking about Dungeons and Dragons cartoons. Now I pop online and see this headline. The universe is conspiring.

I've enjoyed watching the Smash pros go gaga over this game but it's going to need a lot more fan service than 16 fighters to get me excited.

The name just reminds me of Mad Dog McCree.

Higher score than I thought it would get. Which is a positive thing!

Ohhhh I didn't know you could make your own graphics. I'd totally written this off because for some reason I thought you were stuck with the Premade images, but now I'm interested again.

Woohoo. Pleasure overload!!!!

@Not_Soos "The appeal in replaying those games is definitely starting to wear off though, so I hope Nintendo puts N64 games on there soon. Not sure if they ever will, but fingers crossed."

N64 and Game boy Advanced would be great. Though, even then I'd be looking for the B tier games instead of the Triple A stuff that I've already played to death (and own on the Wii U).

I think I'm gonna need more Nook Mile goals to come back at this stage. I put a lot of hours into New Horizons, more than other iterations of the game, but I'm more interested in accomplishing tasks than admiring aesthetics.

@Not_Soos "Whish I could hide them from the menu so they don't clutter it up, they're even gross to look at."

I'm the same. I actually like the NSO, but I can't get behind these abominations. Totally superfluous with save states and rewind already part of the service.

This is awesome. Three games I haven't played and likely wouldn't have played. This is exactly what I want from NSO - new experiences!

I really want a Mortal Kombat representative next. These fighting game characters make more sense to me than someone like Snake. It's great seeing them all come together.

The Megadrive Collection spoiled me. It showed me that I could have 50 games for a very reasonable price. For me, that's the standard that other compilations should be striving for.

My kid's Mario is sooo broken. He doesn't even scan properly anymore. So, what I really want is to be able to buy him standalone, with no extra bits. Then we'll talk about wave 3!

Nice. This is way more appealing to me than something I've played a bunch before. I'm happy that they're steering away from games I bought on the Wii or Wii U already.

7 minutes 36 seconds?!? That's about as long as I played New Leaf for when I owned it.

@sanderev "because it could be difficult to get back to the Plaza on certain islands."

For me it was more because it seemed pointless. From memory, I had to enter a code to visit an island but not actually interact with it in a meaningful way. I couldn't understand why I wouldn't just visit the island.

I literally never use that dream function. 😔😔😔

@TheFullAndy Yeah, I know. It's just that my gaming time is so limited these days. I still haven't tried Tetris 99 either.

I downloaded it but literally never played it.

Awesome! Thanks for the heads up!

I think I only played so many hours of this game because it wasn't a retread of the same old Animal Crossing games of the past. Everything that was absent was a breath of fresh air for me. I'm not saying the beloved characters shouldn't return in some form or another but if it's just a case of "add this exact thing that was in the other games" then that pretty much sums up everything wrong with gaming in the modern age.

@Ooyah "I have very fond memories of The Lost Vikings on the Amiga."

Long live the Amiga!

I'm still logging in every day for a little bit of relaxing time. I've played every Animal Crossing game since the original and this is the only one that has kept me interested for so long.

@Blooper987 How did I miss this?!? Usually I'm trying to keep up to date with the news about new spirits. Can't believe I overlooked this one.

It feels like it's biodegrading in my hands.

I'm still hoping for a mii fighter bundle.

Surprised at the negative reaction to this. My kid watches Adventure Time, so this gave me a smile.

I just bought WMD on sale for Switch. It was so stupidly cheap and I feel like I've ripped them off. Worms has come a long way since I last played it on my Amiga 1200.

Keen to play Sunshine again after all these years. Always loved it.

Woohoo. Reasons to play Smash again. Love it.

In my case, a list of games to avoid.

I came for Zool; I stayed for the Amiga.

@JJtheTexan I played through Adventure mode twice! I guess I'll just add these to the pile...

Ahh I do enjoy these DLC characters. Gives me a reason to jump back into Smash for a little while.

@MysteryCupofJoe "It has TMNT."

Sold!!!

Even the scores are pretty on point. A few nines, a handful of eights and a large pool of sevens.

@Scapetti I think I must've done the other option since mine never came. I'm assuming one is sell and one is post. Anyway, my fault for never reading anything in the game. 😊

@Scapetti That's what I had hoped but the next day they weren't there. I'm in Australia so we're on day 2.

I didn't read the dodo's text and thought I had to send my wedding things back through him before going home. I think I liquidated them 'cause, whatever I did, they were lost to the abyss.

@Elvie Thanks, Elvie. I do enjoy all those extra bells and whistles, but I'm a sucker for these compilations - especially when they are on sale! Gonna have to grab the complete package.
