i would ABSOLUTELY love a Sequel to this game, perhaps Nintendo would be willing to work with them on it after all look at what they did with Bayonetta and Marvel Ultimate Alliance, they saved those franchises
still all this talk of Skies of Arcadia has me feeling nostalgic so i'm going to get on my GameCube and pop this in
i voted for the FFX/X-2 Remaster but i'm playing the PS4 version
on my WiiU (in Wii mode) i'm playing FFIV(aka FFII)
on my 3DS i'm playing Pokemon Omega Ruby
i sadly don't have a Switch yet
and on my XB1, nothing because the damn things wi-fi adapter died on me AGAIN and now i can't play bugger all because it's not set as my "home console" (my home console is in the living room AND before anyone says anything i can't use that one either because it's disc drive is broken and besides it's mainly used by the kids for Minecraft and Fortnite and for all of us to watch Netflix, the reason it's set as my home system is so they can use my XBLGold on their accounts)
@Arehexes i buy certain games physically because i want to have a product to add to my collection, like Final Fantasy for example, i would NEVER buy a FF digitally unless it was digital exclusive
and besides there is also legacy to take into account, can you guarantee that in 20 years time all the games on eShop, PSN or XBL will be there, heck you can't even buy digital Wii games anymore for example and can't even re-dowload them if you accidentally deleted them and that was only only 13 years but a physical disc will still be there WITH the game on it
when PSN/eShop/XBL is shut down (which will happen at some point) people will still be able to buy and play physical games, they WONT be able to with Digital ones
@Lionyone the issue there is that you have to buy your games again in order to play them and as such it's not "really" backwards compatibility , yes they are XB and 360 games but you can't play the games you already have on the XB1s A.D
Final Fantasy IV AKA FFII on my Wii, it's been sitting on my Wii for years so i thought "well i'm playing through the FF games again so i might as well see if it is any different to the PS1 version"
and it is, for one it's a hell of a lot easier than the PS1 version for one, which honestly is OK by me, i have a LOT of games to get through so an easy ride every now and then is a nice break
if this is basically a complete saga edition again but this time including Clone Wars, Rebels, Solo, Rouge One and Episodes 7, 8 and 9 then i'll be all for it
oh who am i kidding i'll be getting it anyway
on a side note i wonder if it will have online co-op, LEGO TFA didn't and this is the kind of series that SCREAMS for a online co-op mode
@Stocksy i know it's pretty easy to turn off PSN auto renew, just simply go to your settings and turn it off, they even tell you when you buy it that it will auto renew unless you turn it off but i only ever used XBL Gold cards for XBL so i had no idea it was such an issue on there but saying that i haven't used Gold for a few years now so it might have changed
@Mando44646 maybe she could even be the Koopalings mother, might explain why Bowser is after Peach all the time and why Bowser JR would believe it when Bowser said Peach was his mum
she left Bowser and now he wants Peach because she looks like her
and it's STILL missing Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles
and no the music isn't an excuse, if they can't use the music then they should just replace the music, Bandai Namco did when they released the Dragon Ball Z Budokai Collection on the PS3 and 360
yeah it wouldn't be exactly like the original but i would rather p;ay it with different music than not play it at all
well to be fair they don't have right amount of controls to play Switch games so it wasn't unexpected but still as they can't they should be a bit cheaper than what they are going for
@XenoShaun that's because they will pay a team of 10 people 5 years and thousands in funds for them to design a new sign and then they just end up changing the colour
@FragRed depending on where in the UK you live it could take even longer, there is a shop in my town whose sign has been missing a letter for about 20 years now
still it does mean we can actually call it the "Cop" shop
SO PlayStation will let you play free to play games WITHOUT PS+, Nintendo will let you play free to play games WITHOUT Nintendo Online Network but Microsoft still make you pay for XBOX LIVE Gold to play free to play games, MS need to get with the game (no pun intended)
@BensonUii i hope so too but they will, although to be fair FFVII and FFIX were digital only on the PS4 too
but there is a chance the FFX+ X-2 and XII will get a physical release as FFX was released physically on the Vita so we know that carts are big enough to hold the games
@Ryu_Niiyama i'm still hoping they can get the original FFXV to run on the system, even if it means downgrading the graphics or breaking up the world into separate zones
@GKO900 normally i would disagree with a statement like this BUT i did buy Pokemon Channel so i think your right, people will buy anything with Pikachu's face on it
a switch version would be great (even though i would still get the PS4 version) but when i get a Switch i would love to be able to play Spyro on the go
now they just need to add it to the Wii U VC for all of us who couldn't order a SNES Mini because it sold out as soon as it came up for order (and most by eBay scalpers it seems judging by the numbers of systems up for sale on there are OVERLY bloated prices)
@Pod people in the UK are salty (myself included) because some of these games were NEVER released in the UK and this was our only chance to get to play them
also i think the fact that this system also has a previously unreleased game that is EXCLUSIVE to this system that many people have wanted for years, coupled with the limited numbers will keep this system at a premium price for the scalpers that brought all the stock for a LONG time
i said it before and i'll say it again, if developers and publishers want to see the Switch as a handheld system then it's fine if it means it gets strong third party support
i irony is when Sony tried to this this last gen and MS refused nothing was said but when MS decided to do it and Sony refuses suddenly Sony is attacking Microsoft
besides would MS even be doing this if the XB1 had actually sold as well as they hoped and it had been the PS4 that was the low seller?, NO they would be doing just what Sony is now
are Sony being arrogant, probably but no more than MS or Nintendo have been in the past
also MS did the exact same thing with Final Fantasy XI AND it's the main reason they haven't got FFXIV
OK i'm NOT a FIFA fan (or a fan of Football in general) but COME ON EA if you want the games to sell stop screwing over the user base because it just shows you don't give a c**p
but just watch, this watered down version wont sell and then they will use it as an excuse to not release other games by saying their games "don't sell" on the system, shifting the blame on Nintendo and their users
so it depends on a re-release of a re-release of a re-release of a re-release of a re-release of a re-release of a re-release of a re-release of a re-release of a re-release of a re-release of a re-release of a re-release of a re-release of a re-release of a re-release of a re-release of a re-release of a re-release of a re-release
but will they actually put any effort in this time or will it just be lazy, late ports like they did with the Wii U and then complain that they don't sell
well i can see Activision releasing at least one CoD game on the Switch to test it's waters so to speak, whether or not it will be this one i can't say but i would get it on Switch to see how it plays
@neufel i wouldrather have that to be honest but what if they released BOTH versions?, One that just hooks up to the TV and one that is wholly portable then you can get whatever version you wanted
OK it sucks but lets be honest he was using a Nintendo copyrighted character for personal gain without Nintendos permission so Nintendo would have been well within their rights to go after this guy but they didn't
what is strange in this instance is that it was his local city officials who did it and what issue would they have?

Re: Editorial: The Frustrating Quest for a SNES Mini is Bad Business for Nintendo
i gave up after Amazon sold out after 10 minutes only for loads of pre-orders to go up on eBay for £150-£250
all the scalpers got them it seems and just like the NES Mini it looks like i will NEVER get this one
so if they announce a N64 Mini then i don't care anymore, it's cheaper for me to just buy the games for my old systems
