£42 for both was a no brainer for me. I own the originals and 3D Allstars but having these in 4K on Switch 2 is perfect. Honestly would have paid more.
I have the originals on Wii and the All-Stars version of 1 but with these improvements will like buy both now. They deserve to be played the best they can.
MK64 was and always will be my favourite. It had the most impact to me, great courses and the gameplay was perfect. Technically MK8D is the best, although I feel like MKW will take that title soon, there's so much room for upgrades and DLC in MKW.
Crossing everything I have that my Amazon order here in the UK is ok, got it in a few days after the direct but I don't use Amazon much. I got another thorough Nintendo for a friend which is processing now, so at least I know one of us will get one on release.
@Anti-Matter didn't say every game, just some. It's pretty common now with larger games, as otherwise they'd be multiple discs. It's just a cost saving thing. With Switch the larger carts cost more, and having multiple carts with cost even more. Pretty simple. Don't get me wrong, I'm a physical collector and have been since the N64, but unfortunately this is the current situation due to the data sizes of games now
Sony and Microsoft have been doing this for years on discs. I've brought a few games physical on PS5 to find out when inserting the disc that the disc only holds product keys to unlock the downloads and a Hugh 100GB plus download is required. Welcome to current gaming.
Honestly one of the best Direct presentations Nintendo has ever put out and a great console launch. The hype is real and so close I can almost touch it.
Recently spruced up my GameCube with new capacitors and a new internal battery so I can continue playing my physical collection. However, I'd still love to see GC on the Online Service. My favourite Nintendo console.
Have this on PS5 and loved it, didn't even know it used Haptic Feedback as I have that turned off as default but still loved the game. Will deffo double dip and get this on Switch, it's too good not to.
Honestly the release state wasn't great but the big update a while back fixed almost everything. I've played through 3 and Vice City and they play and run just like the originals just with slightly better graphics.
Outside of Zelda and Mario Resident Evil is my favorite game line. Personally I loved 6, the Co-Op was great fun and the branching storylines worked really well. Yes it's not as horror bases as earlier games, much more action fed, but doesn't mean it's a bad Resident Evil game.
I've barely noticed it in Echoes, and when it has it only seems to occur in the open world so not really an issue. Link Awakening was slightly worse, but again still perfectly playable. People stating 'I won't play it coz of the frame rate' are missing out on a great game. I could list many many games of the past that received 9 or 10 out of 10 scores that have much worse issue than this.
Personally really looking forward to seeing this, as a fan of the game I thought the trailers looked really good. Critics aren't always right, I mean personally I think the new Deadpool movie isn't all that, I came away pretty disappointed having joined the hype train early on.
@Anti-Matter Games like this don't need to hit 60fps, as long as it's a locked 30 it would be fine. You'd barely notice the change from 30 to 60fps on a game like this.
I'm about half way through the Campaign now and haven't noticed anything other than a few frame rate drops/sound glitches, same as the original (which I still own and have played recently), but these are few and far between. The dizzy effect is the same as the original as, it's supposed to be like that! Multiplayer with bots runs fine as well and is as fun as it used to be. As for the controls it plays perfect with the N64 controller as expected, and if you re-map you can use dual sticks perfectly as well.
100% buy for me. The price is in line with most of the newer Lego set's. Was in a Lego store at the weekend and lets just say it was lucky the LOTR Rivendell set wasn't in stock or I'd be a very poor boy!
One of my favorite games of all time (still own an original cart) and honestly it's a N64 masterpiece. Can't wait to dive back into this again on Switch and go for 100% completion again.
My dreams have been answered. Blast Corps is one of my favorite games of all time. Will look forward to 100%'ing this again. It's so original and there's nothing like it. And Killer Instinct is another classic, that soundtrack!!! I can still remember a lot of the original Ultra Combo inputs.
Guess I'll be grabing my Switch N64 controller later then and not letting go this the weekend ends Most excited for Jet Force, I played through it so many times and always wished they'd have made a sequel.
Never need an excuse to play Tetris 99, got over 170 hours logged and around 100 wins but hungry for more. As much as I'm loving F-Zero 99 this is still my favourite.
Honestly this is amazing, I know what I'll be doing tonight. Maybe if the response for this is high Nintendo will look into remasters of the previously titles.
Excited about the positive reactions to the single player content. This will make it a must buy for me, but I'll probably get in on PS5 over Switch this time.
@HalBailman This argument is getting old. If you brought these separately you'd get 4-5 at best to the price of the annual subscription, which includes 100's of games plus other online service features. It's a bargain @ $4 a month. Tell me you don't have any other subscription services, it's exactly the same. If you don't want to subscribe don't, just because it doesn't suit your needs doesn't be it's not good.

Re: Poll: So, What Are Your First Impressions Of LEGO's Zelda 'Great Deku Tree' Set?
100% buy for me. The price is in line with most of the newer Lego set's. Was in a Lego store at the weekend and lets just say it was lucky the LOTR Rivendell set wasn't in stock or I'd be a very poor boy!
