Just give us the NES games on the online service

Yeah it was silly for him to suggest that Nintendo go with the Switch Lite only. Even if it was a case of the majority playing 80% handheld and 20% docked, or even more, the biggest appeal (other than first-party games) is the ability to take it with you but still have the option to play on the big screen. Playing multiplayer Mario Kart on the Switch handheld screen is fine on a plane or something. But no one is going to prefer that way with friends and family at home.

@rjejr
It supposedly shipped yesterday. So hopefully I’ll have it in a few days. Is that bag vinyl or something? I thought it was fabric I guess

@eltomo
Yeah I think that is how must of us are. Handheld mode is fine for playing most single-player on the couch while someone is watching a show on the TV. But then docked-mode is a virtual must for playing multiplayer Mario Kart, Smash, etc. Does the Switch Lite even have the little kick-stand on the back for standing it up and playing multiplayer on it?

Like others have said, I enjoyed the Wii version more. Glad I picked it up, especially since it came with both version copies.

Nice! I just grabbed the Mario zipper case and the Animal Crossing bandana

@Juga
Me too. I'd forgotten about it. Be fun to play it again.

Huh. I have no problem with this choice. There are definitely others I would rather have had, but oh well.

@Strictlystyles
I've got no problem with that. I remember picking up my Dreamcast on launch day along with Sonic Adventure. Loved it.

@-Green-
I agree. It was gonna sell well whether it is limited-time release or not.

@Dahn_
Yeah I clicked expecting to see it for $59.99. Oh well it is a savings for those who don't have these yet anyway

@Tandy255
Yeah. I guess we can look forward to next year when it is Legend of Zelda's turn. We'll probably get Ocarina of Time, Twilight Princess, and Skyward Sword. Oh well

@Doktor-Mandrake
No. And these are not simple "zero effort" ROM dumps. They look better than they did originally and yet there's been A LOT of comments on here about how they need to be full 60fps and full wide-screen for Mario 64, etc. I would like that too as much as anyone else. But I will still enjoy them, and at what is a good price for 3 great games. Especially for one of them (Sunshine) that I haven't played since I bought for my son for Christmas in 2002!

@TG16_IS_BAE
I understand. I would definitely be even more excited too if these were completely remade/remastered/optimized, all for $60. But these are still great games that many of us would love to play again (without getting out older systems to do so). Three great games for $60 is not a bad price in current times. And they are a little better quality than they were on their original systems.

@WOLF13
It's not exactly "zero effort" though, is it? I would like them to be 4K and 60fps too, but I can still play them and enjoy them. They definitely look better than they did originally. $60 I guess may seem high to some people, but you can look at it as $30 for Galaxy, $20 for Sunshine, and $10 for Mario 64. I haven't played Sunshine in almost 20 years.

Good grief! Gamers ask for games and then cry when we get them. These games were great fun back when they released and they are great fun now. If you don't want them because they do not have top-end PC graphics then don't get them.

Hmm. Nice surprise.

Good grief! All the complaining on here! It doesn't matter what we get or what Nintendo does..... Argh

@TG16_IS_BAE
Yeah maybe Chronicles of Mystara will be the next Wii-U port from Capcom? Just kidding. They might as well release it on Switch now. I would love to play Revenge of Death Adder too. I've never played that one.

@thesilverbrick
Yeah I remember having a blast with my kids playing Four Swords back in the day on Gamecube. My son and I already had Gameboy Advances so I bought the cables and another system for my daughter. Good times!

@XiaoShao
Yeah hopefully! It seemed like a no-brainer when Switch got Cuphead and Ori. Surely Rare Replay has sold mostly all it is going to sale on Xbox?

Man! The Crystalis one got me! I only remembered the box art for the NES version

Ok let's have a new 2-D Mario game. The newest one (other than Mario Maker which I do not count) is in the top ten selling games on both Wii-U and Switch.

@RandomNerds
I agree. My Wii-U still gets plenty of play. Like you said, it plays all of the Wii and Wii-U library and I have probably over 200 Virtual Console games and Wiiware games that would keep me from ever selling it or putting it away.

I'll be getting it. It's been so long since I played the original on Saturn.

Man! I wonder if Tecmo Bowl/SuperBowl could count as a more arcade experience? That would be great.

Aww. Not for U.S., huh?

Hmm. I think I’ll go ahead and give it try.

Hmm. I forgot about the Metro games. I need to try those. Also, I need to learn more about that Boulderdash game. Loved the original game

I'll get the Double Dragon/Kunio collection and I'll go ahead and get the Wii-U game. I still have my Wii-U hooked-up as a Virtual Console/Wiiware machine so might as well add to the collection.

Nice. Excited to give it a try for the first time then.

I don't need a direct at this point. How long have we been waiting for a console Animal Crossing game? Almost 12 years since City Folk? And its even been 8 years since New Leaf released. Nothing to sell the majority of fans on at this point.

Yeah I'm still gonna go see it at some point.

Have the issues with WWE 2K18 been addressed since the mess it was at launch? Is it worth $20?

Yeah give us Rare Replay on Switch already. Surely sales of it have slowed down enough on Xbox One that it would give them a big sales boost now?

That's nice that Miyamoto is co-producing at least!

I might have to get some of those Animal Crossing plush... you know, for the granddaughter!

I don't know why, but for some reason this made me remember the old N64 Smash Bros commercial. I still laugh every time I watch it!

@rjejr
That's what I was thinking too. We should be seeing something for Pikmin 4.

Nice. I'm gonna grab the Arcade Archives and Sega Ages and probably Strangers Wrath

@Noelemahc
Yeah I was about mentioned that I remember playing it on Sega CD definitely before 1998

@Dr_Corndog
Yeah that is funny. It's like Superman 64 with its "kryptonite fog".

@ThanosReXXX
Yeah that's one thing the Wii U did have was a nice eshop with background music and FOLDERS on the home screen.

@ViewtifulJotun
I've always loved it. Great game if you like retro games (which I'm assuming you do since you are curious about it). Decent graphics for the NES at the time. It's similar to an old-school Zelda game. Cool story and setting. I'm excited to try it again, it's been probably 20-25 years since I played it last.

@Lordplops
Ha! Yeah it’s crazy to think where we would be now if that had not fallen-through

This made me reminisce about the old Gameboy Video titles that came out. My son was about 10 at the time and I tracked down a bunch of them for road trips for him to watch on his GBA when he wasn't gaming. I seem to remember him having Sonic X, SpongeBob, Shrek, Dragon Ball Z...

Munchkin? Hmm. Might have to check a review on that one.

Man. Almost 10 million now between Switch & Switch Lite in Japan.

@scully1888
"The original Garfield Kart is extremely cheap on Steam: considering this is a more broken version of the same game, you might as well buy that instead. Even if you don’t have a PC, you’ll have wasted less money."

That made me choke on my coffee this morning! Awesome!

@gcunit
Yeah it is crazy. They could sell tons of stuff online. Not sure why they don't. They would definitely make a lot of money. I'm in the U.S. and the only store here is in New York City, of course. The most expensive city to visit and travel to.
