That's what I was thinking too. Fits perfect with a third-party N64 game vibe!

@eltomo
I agree! I loved it when they put the retro mode option in Dragon Quest XI.

I enjoyed it ok. I agree the $60 price tag was too high though. I wonder if we'll ever get a Battalion Wars remake/reboot? Probably not since this may have not done as well as hoped? I enjoyed the Gamecube game and didn't play much of the Wii game.

@PateloDim
I haven't played it either, but just that cover art with the girl with the hat just like the one Ash Ketchum wears makes it seem like a not-subtle Poke-clone. And, of course the "-mon" in its name. I don't see why Palworld got so much grief (which I agree is justified) but this one hasn't?

@nhSnork
Yeah I port of the DS game would have been great

Hmm. Nice! Like to give these a try.

I agree with several others on here. I don't mind the price for a good games: one that is complete at launch and doesn't have performance issue where you can barely enjoy it until it is patched later on. There is no excuse for them releasing a game they know is sub-par quality just to get it out to market. They test the games before release (I assume) so they know the quality of the game beforehand.

Nice. Played this way back in high school on a friend's PC. Give it another try.

I'll hate it if they don't make it. But it's the way of the world now. It's nice having a dedicated gaming store, but it's obviously not feasible since they do not make much money off of new games. I do not want to ever have to rely on Walmart or Amazon for my gaming, I use them as sparingly as possible anyway for whatever I may need. I won't mind going digital I guess.

@mlt
Yeah it's crazy how much people whine over NSO. Even if you pay the $50 per year just yourself it is good value (not to mention like others have said that there is the family plan option). I agree it would be nice to be able to buy them too like on Virtual Console, but this is so much cheaper. I spent probably $2,000 on Virtual Console games between Wii and Wii U, that would take 40 years to do at $50 per year. You're never gonna make everyone happy I guess. There will always be someone to complain, even about a games service that is less than $5 per month that includes many games that are some of the best of all time.

@mlt
I agree. Those are all iconic games in their respective genres and need to be in. Of course if you look at the list of all the games that have been inducted, it's hard to argue virtually any of them not being in before these (except for maybe The Last of Us).

@Zaruboggan
Yes. I'd love to be able to buy a new 2DS XL at retail price too. Too bad they aren't region-free.

Not bad. I do like the little details like the smoke coming from the chimney, the buried fossil, the balloon, etc. Nice touch.

Contra for me.

Getting Pocket Card Jockey and the (obligatory) Arcade Archives release

I'm excited for this game. Can't remember if I played this one originally? But I have loved all of them that I have played.

@xiao7
What?! It doesn't have English for the in-game text? Yikes. I was looking forward to giving it a try. Oh well.

Yeah I agree with others on here. I'm sure the developers covered themselves to where they are safe, but there can't be much doubt at all that they purposefully made the creatures look similar to Pokemon to help sell it. Everytime I see a thumbnail picture for one of the articles on this site I immediately think it might be a Pokemon article before I read the title.

@Serpenterror
That's what I was wondering. Apparently you use a mobile phone with a Just Dance app or something for it.

@Coversnail
Hmm. Interesting. Thanks! I was curious about that. Wasn't sure if you had to have Move controllers or Kinect or something for it.

Just curious.... how do you play the Just Dance games on PS5 and Xbox? The Switch obviously has the joycons to use.

@ModdedInkling
I agree. I was looking for that one as well.

@niner
Surely he’ll be in the running back pack? That’s gonna be a popular one.

Nice! Our family had a lot of fun with Smooth Moves back in the day. Loved all of the creative uses of the Wiimote that it featured (one of the most-creative was it being used as a fingernail clipper and clipping a toenail. You pushed the button to snip it and the click sound coming out of the remote). Good times.

@Daniel36
Yes. That's the way it should be. Go and get the merch for yourself and the kids to enjoy and collect. Then if you decide to sell it later on, nothing wrong with that.

@Don
I don't know. It is pretty good value. There are what, 220 legacy games on NSO and growing (some of them formerly unavailable to us in the U.S.)? Plus the SP versions, DLC, a few original games here and there, game trials.... All for what works out to $4.17 per month for the expansion pack ($6.67 for the family plan)? I can see the frustration of wanting to be able to keep the games after the service is stopped like it was for the Wii and Wii U. But I spent close to $2,000 on Virtual Console and Wiiware games that are still on my Wii U. There are many games that I bought that I wouldn't have if I was able to play them otherwise (City Connection, Balloon Fight...). I agree it would be nice to have the option to purchase games individually but that does not make the NSO overpriced by any means nor does it make it some villainous tactic by Nintendo.

Yes it is still stupid that they did not release the Disney Afternoon Collection on a Nintendo system (the most-likely system to get the most sales from since those are Nintendo system legacy games)

Hmm. Might have to give it a try. Haven't played one I guess since ROT3K IV on SNES back in the day.

@antisumo
Yeah I agree. It sold so many copies it's crazy that they are not going to add anything new to it. Mario Kart 8 continues to get new updates. I know they don't want to go the route of charging microtransactions, etc for items, but they could add in a new bug or fish or furniture every so often to keep people playing it. Oh well.

Let's have Wolfenstein 3D on here.

@Bobb
That and the fact it played DVD's. I knew several people who bought one back then simply for that reason (games was just a bonus to them).

@MeloMan
Yes! Definitely the two that I am anxious for. If they are halfway decent I'll bite. And also grab the obligatory arcade archive game (Not sure exactly how many I have, be easier to count the ones I don't)

Definitely a quick buy for me

They should have done more DLC for Animal Crossing, seems like a missed opportunity with those sales numbers. Hopefully we don't have a LONG wait for the next one.

Just have a game case with Switch games in it. I guess do also have a small collection of Wii/Wii U games in the playroom for my granddaughter. Long past the days of a large game collection. Back in my bachelor days (mid-1990's) I took great care and pride in a large, organized game collection on book shelves (NES, SNES, N64, Sega Genesis, Sega Saturn, Game Boy, Sega Game Gear). All of that has long gone the way of eBay and other collectors.

@Anti-Matter
Very nice and neat!

Nice! I haven't played Super Double Dragon in a LONG time.

Sunk a LOT of time into II & III back in the day. IV was cool too but I was in the late years of high school by then, so didn't quite have as much time for it. Loved Gemfire too. Wish they had done more of those.

Sunk a lot of time in these back in the day. ROT3K II and Gemfire on NES/SNES were my favorites.

@Fizza
Yes. Sony will never be able to redeem themselves for the Playstation Move. I remember almost falling out of my chair in embarrassment for Sony when it was first revealed. It was such an obvious rip-off to try and cash-in on the success of the Wii at the time. Then it turned out to be an unnecessary overreaction since the PS3 ending up doing great after the slow start it had. Oh well

@jolteon23
"stock keeping unit".
It is a number used by retailers on a product and variations, separate from the UPC (which is the same for everyone).

@Wisps
I feel the same way. It is more of a fun challenge to only use the Pokemon in the game and not transfer your own ready made team. I do understand this game maybe not being worthy of the same score it originally got since you are missing a key element/feature of that game. But great fun still.

But there are still some who continually gripe about the NSO expansion anyway (even at an average of less than $5 per month!). Oh well.

I prefer the Wii U virtual console.

This is great!

They should have supported this with more updates and items, periodically at least. I know we got the one huge update last year. Once you've done everything, caught everything, found everything, bought everything there's not much reason to go back to it regularly. They made plenty of money off it surely (it has sold what, 30million copies?)

@RemembersGems
Have you played it on Switch? How is it? Wouldn't mind giving it a try at $11.99 if it is even decent.

Nice. I still need to get Tactics Ogre.

An official one would have been nice. I bought a 3rd party one and car power adaptor back then for my son so he could take it with him and play on long car rides and vacations, etc.

@Axecon
That's what I was thinking. If it is a first-time Switch owner, they are definitely gonna buy Mario Kart at some point anyway.

@syrupdash
I agree. If they had made the console red and then maybe blue joycons or something they would have had huge response, especially even from current Switch owners. Oh well.
