I have it and I enjoy it for what it is (the nes game). At least it’s different. Of course I also enjoy Jekyll and Hyde too but I’ve played it so much I understand how the game works. Maybe if more would sit down and actually “play” these games rather than go in with the bias it’s a bad game ergo I’m going to have a bad time.

They really need to set a release schedule instead of just dropping games at random intervals every 1/2 a year. Last the NES/SNES apps were updated was last summer so around 8 months give it take. This is one of the biggest reasons, besides lack of crossbuy, the VC was put to pasture. If they don’t keep interest in the service the consumers will lose theirs. Many of you know how passionate I am regarding VC and the freedom it allowed not to mention the money it brought to Nintendo for very little effort. Why for the love of God do they keep falling into the same pitfalls?!

I’m a bit disappointed it’s just the first game and not the Trilogy. I’m considering outright skipping this in hope that a remastered Trilogy is on the way.

@ketrac
The switch remake makes some of the jumps a lot harder. There were many places where in the original and DX I could access a lot easier.

@JakedaArbok
The best games? That is a matter of personal preference. I’d argue Mario Land 3: Wario Land is better than Golden Coins. Alone in the Dark GBC is one of the best games on the system? Really?!

I’m waiting for preorders of the non play Asia physical.

What logic exactly did they follow when putting together these games for the service? Wario 3, Mario Land 2 and G&W 3? It seems they forgot these are sequels. I would’ve thought the numbers would make it obvious.

@EarthboundBenjy
I believe Myths and Monsters is on the VC on 3ds.

Probably need to hold off till all three games are in a Trilogy compilation.

No Trilogy Remastered? Boooooooooo!

@Dragonite89
I agree wholeheartedly.

Holding A down to do more damage in Pokémon. I’ve heard it’s not true but it’s never let me down.

10/16. Not too shabby not too shabby at all.

@Magician
I don’t think it’s a bad game. It’s just a bad Contra game. It’s control scheme just doesn’t feel like Contra. Neo Contra is by far the best 3d Contra in my honest opinion.

Hey! You guys forgot about Contra Force!

The ability to purchase individual games on the nso game apps for those that don’t want to subscribe. Criminal Girls 3 announced for switch along with 1&2 remastered. Star Tropics 3. Dynowarz: Return to Spondylus. Disney Afternoon Collection Plus featuring the game boy ports and Goof Troop exclusively on switch. Capcom Crossover collection.

@mrMike
Rough estimate between the game boy, gbc, nes and game gear libraries on the 3ds around 80 games or so.

We need Dragon Crown and Odin Sphere.

@johnvboy
That’s just what I don’t understand. They are in the business of making money so why aren’t they trying to nickel and dime consumers in this way?

@johnvboy
But you are going to end up having a lot of memory space taken up by games you have no interest in while before you could buy only what you wanted and if need be could temporarily delete it and retrieve it later.

I don’t see the value in the service. Anyone who doesn’t care about online play is pretty much in the same boat as I am. To me it is a scam since I stand to lose out on most of the benefits. Thanks to the check in requirement I lose access to the only feature I’m interested in vs how I could just buy individual vc titles on my 3ds and play indefinitely. I’ve said it earlier in here but the last games added to the base subscription were back in the summer of last year. That’s around half a year with no new content added. Why are they ignoring it? It’s the same thing over and over again. Can’t they ever learn from their mistakes and actually make good decisions regarding this?! As far as I see it they’d get money whether you subbed or bought a game out right as on VC. So why limit it to just subs? $50 may be cheap compared to other services but if you aren’t getting the most out of the service then it’s a waste. You say I could go in with a family plan and get it cheaper?! Why?! I’d still be in the same boat and would still not have complete access to what I payed for when I want it.

@nocdaes
The classic games are tied to the online service. What if you don’t play online and only want access to the games? You still have to pay. You also have no control over what games are available to you.

@Wexter
I agree on the last bit for sure. I’d also say the account system should be like Sony was back in the vita and psp days where you could download your past purchases for free.

@Wexter
No I’m quite serious. Instead of companies complaining about rom sites and how they are hurting their bottom line but do nothing to fix the problem. You can see how they are handling the classic game apps now and there is no improvement over vc and they are still being drip feed! Heck the last games added to the base tier was in may or June of last year! There’s honestly no excuse why they can’t release them faster and offer them for sale too.

@Wexter
No I was just showing you the fallacy of your argument. It wouldn’t be an impossible feat to have all, if not most of, the games available. Goldeneye is here and it was a tricky situation. The first TMNT game was on Wii v and now all of them are available on switch (most of the TMNT Konami games anyway not counting the 2000 era series). You would think after all this time they would stop drip feeding and restarting services and just put out the games.

@johnvboy
At least everyone could then be satisfied having access to everything they want with or without a subscription.

@Wexter
What was wrong with including Legends instead of Dracula X?

@Wexter
They already gave one exclusively on PS4.

@Wexter
All the examples I mentioned fit into their own logic. The odd one out is Dracula X on the advance collection. It was neither on the advance nor did it match the gameplay style.

@Wexter
We still shouldn’t excuse them for omitting them.

@Wexter
Capcom and Konamis collections are missing several games! Where’s Castlevania Legends and GB Kid Dracula on the Castlevania ones or Contra Force and Alien Wars GB?! The Capcom Megaman collections also have notable exemptions such as Battle and Chase, Wily Wars, The Xtreme series and classic Megaman GB, Network Transmission and Battle Chip Challenge and that’s just off the top of my head!

A complete collection like that wouldn’t be easy but it’s absolutely doable. I still enjoy many of the LJN games and if you actually played them instead of watching a single angry nerd crap on it you might enjoy them too. (Except Milons Castle it’s just bad but that’s just me.)

@johnvboy
I’m sure it was very profitable for them when they actually added games to the service. Kinda hard to get sales when you add nothing new in years (and they are still doing today, last nes and snes games were added back in may or June).

Unlike Netflix whose collection is constantly changing the game collections (officially licensed) are finite in what they can offer. According to Wikipedia there are 716 nes games, 721 snes, 878 Sega Genesis and 296 N64. That’s all of the officially licensed games so that’s it compared to new series and films being released on a minute to minute basis. Sell most games for between $5-$10 and then the money would just print itself! Oh yeah and if you subbed you could get access to everything as long as you subbed and could check out as many games as you wanted in your tier group!

@Wexter
They didn’t have an account system then but they do now. I’m still holding out for a unified VC probably after the 3ds/wiiu storefronts shutter then you could access a lot more. The subscription service is passable I guess but there really needs to be an option for those that prefer to play offline.

@johnvboy
But they do have an account system now! Not to mention most tied their 3ds and wiiu to the account so we can still add funds to buy on their eshops so it wouldn’t be out of the question that VC games could be transferred.

@Wexter
Ok it’s a scummy service. Just because you can get it cheaper by going in on a family plan doesn’t make it any better. Virtual Console was a great service in my experience with it and was more beneficial to the consumer.

@NintendoWife
You find out weaknesses by attacking an opponent and it will tell you if they are weak to that element. A lot of trial and error is involved. It’s not like Pokémon where you only have two types per monster. A single persona can have several strengths and only one weakness (some if you have a strong build could have no weakness). There is a skill you unlock as you go that’ll allow you to identify a enemies weakness. Once you have encountered an enemy the game logs this and you can pick an attack and choose a target it’ll say if it is weak or not and you can open a tab (analyze if I remember) and it’ll bring up detailed stats and weaknesses.

Crafting would definitely help my displeasure of this mechanic. Combine wood, metal, an optional elemental or the like modifier and a sword recipe and voila you have yourself a new sword! Combine a stone with a stick and you have an arrow!

It was graded a 9.2. I’ve seen copies like this sell for a good penny. Maybe there’s some legal recourse he could attempt to recoup the loss and prevent this from happening again.

@NintendoWife
Just what don’t you understand about Personas and fusion? Fusion is an essential mechanic in SMT and Persona. It allows you to create stronger demons/personas and transfer over special traits and attacks that are much different from the same ones you get through negotiation. For example you could have a light attribute attack on something that ordinarily wouldn’t or added resistance to certain elements.

While personas as a concept is more difficult to explain but the games do a decent job of explaining what they are. If you need a deeper explanation I suggest you read up on Jungian psychology.

@Rosu
It would’ve been preferable had they did a remaster akin to SMT3 combining the party control features of P3P with the added story content of FES and manual skill transferrance.

At least in P3P you can control your party members unlike in FES while it’s presentation is gorgeous it’s gameplay suffers. The gripe about fusion is justified however since they fixed that in SMT3 Remastered but didn’t add it to this.

18/24. Not too shabby though I feel cheated out of the trick questions, would’ve been 20/24 then.

I still find this show to be fun if not a little outrageous at times. Very interesting that someone in their teenage years actually wrote for the show as Tiny Toons actually had an episode written by a fan and was invited to help create the episode.

I’d be far more excited for Persona 3 and 4 had they been given a physical release so I’ll be reluctantly passing on them.

I’d love to see other classic game IPs they have under their belts a chance to shine. A modern take on Dynowarz would be interesting for example.

So who is excited for Operation Wolf Returns! I know I am!

@Lizuka
While I would love to see a remake the current port that’s due soon is likely all the effort they are going to do with it. Would’ve been nice to have a hybrid of Portable and FES but alas.

More collections would be nice. That is, of course, if they would make complete collections. (Ex they left out Castlevania Legends, Rondo of Blood, Kid Dracula GB, Contra Force and Alien Wars GB out of the Castlevania and Contra collections.)

But what we really want is newer entries into these classic series. I was less than impressed with Rogue Corps so they are really going to have to step it up a notch.

I for one would love to see more ports and physical editions for all their releases. Hoping a Soul Hackers 2 switch port will be announced before too long seeing as how it’s on everything else but Switch.

Not every game is going to be a multi million copy seller. I think they shouldn’t be afraid to try to revive these franchises. Will it be lightning in a bottle? Maybe. Maybe not. But nothing ventured nothing gained.

I saw this previewed in Nintendo Power and was blown away by it. Sadly I didn’t have a GameCube so I missed out on it. Getting a copy today is completely out of the question as it costs an arm and leg if not more on the used market. A port of this game on modern consoles is long overdue.
