@Tandy255 @Crockin Yeah that's one of the stupidest decisions ever, to not put those games on the system with the biggest audience for them... Nintendo gamers. It's almost as bad as when Ubisoft delayed the Wii-U version of Rayman Legends so that it could release at the same time as the (previously unannounced) PS3 and X360 versions. It would have been the major release that Wii U owners would all pick up since it came during that long drought of games we had for Wii U back then. By the time it did release, many other Wii U games were available by then and many would-be customers (myself included) didn't buy it out of protest.
What is even more impressive is that it has sold that many units as a hybrid console. Before, one gamer have bought a Wii and then a GBA and a DS to be able to enjoy gaming both at home and abroad.
Super Mario World for me too. Although I have loved all 2D Mario games. I’m ready for a new one! I played the New Super Mario U and Super Luigi to 100% so I haven’t got the U Deluxe.
@doctorhino I remember finding an indigo portable screen for my son's Gamecube back then and even a car adapter. So he could play his Gamecube even on trips
@BanjoPickles Me too. I'd love another go at Willy Beamish. I remember playing it on PC at a friend's house in high school and then immediately buying it on Sega CD when it came out on there. That was disappointing though because it was great when I played a little bit of it on PC and then it was SO SLOW with all the loading times on Sega CD.
@Retro_Player_77 Yeah sorry I think you misunderstood me. I have a Switch and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. I was just remarking that it would be nice to get some new DLC since we haven't had any since 2015. I agree that we probably won't see Mario Kart 9 until the Switch successor.
@Sandro89 I wouldn't mind Double Dash 2. But yeah, they could at least give us some more DLC for Mario Kart 8. Those of us who had it on Wii U have been over, what, 5 years? But I guess since the Switch is selling so well Deluxe will keep selling since it is one of the games every new Switch owner gets
@Radbot42 Yes! Exactly. We need a new one. Some of us bought it at launch for Wii-U six years ago. That's a long time (I didn't get the 3DS or Switch versions). I remember having the hardest time back then to track down a Toad amiibo to play the extras.
Man, I would have loved one of those spice orange Gamecubes! I bought the launch one (blue/indigo?) and then bought the platinum-colored one for my son a year or two later.
@FoxMcCloud Yeah I was in college by the time Goldeneye came out. Local multiplayer for this game (and Mario Kart of course) sold a lot of N64 consoles, especially to 20-somethings at the time. Being able to hook 4 controllers easily out of the box.
@Tyranexx Yeah me too. I have all of the Wiiware/VC games on it transferred from Wii and then all the VC games and stuff I downloaded off the Wii U shop so I may get this too
@YANDMAN I've bought most of these too since they went through the trouble of releasing them on Wii-U. And the fact that my Wii-U is still hooked-up and gets played every now and then. I'll never get rid of it due to the huge amount of Wiiware/Virtual Console/eshop games I have on it.
@Reprise That's what I was thinking, especially since he used the word "amazing" to describe two-thirds of the game. I'll probably get this since I've never played these before. Maybe patches can help with the third game.
@the_beaver I probably would have voted it high, but being in America I never got the chance to play it. Which is a shame since I loved Soul Blazer and Illusion of Gaia.
@Munchlax Yeah it's probably that you didn't grow up with the games. Probably makes it harder for you to rate them as high as some of these probably deserve. But definitely nothing wrong with liking other games in a series more than these though. I personally like ALTTP as my favorite Zelda game, with a tie between WindWaker and BOTW for a close second. But then I am in my forties and was in my mid-late teens when I played these originally.
Man! Wonder what the record for sales for an exclusive title in a year is? Animal Crossing has 26million in 8 months already? I know GTA, Call of Duty, Madden.... all sell a lot across multiple platforms, but do they sell 26million in 8 months (even across multiple consoles?)?
@quinnyboy58 Yes! Surely Microsoft can see that Cuphead and Ori were successful on Switch and that the larger audience for Rare Replay is on Switch. They've made probably most all the money they are going to make for it on Xbox consoles, might as well cash-in on Switch!
@doctorhino Yeah that has kind of gotten me thinking about one as well. Being able to play 4 generations of Xbox games on one console. I went from Wii-U to Switch and never got a Xbox One or PS4. I also see old Xbox, Xbox 360 games at garage sales all the time. This would also give me an avenue for any games that interest me that do not appear on Switch.
Nintendo needs to get busy and get us Radiant Dawn and the Prime Trilogy on Switch. Especially Radiant Dawn, that should have been released on the Wii U VC. I remember renting it for my son once back then and then wanting to buy it but never being able to find an affordable copy.

That's what I was thinking. It's good for a NES game. If you haven't played it on DS (I never did) then this is a good buy at $6.
Re: Nintendo Download: 3rd December (North America)
Fire Emblem and Rush'n Attack for sure, probably get Immortals at some point
