I wasn't necessarily interested in the game but I may buy it and try it out if for no other reason than to reward them for porting it (and getting it all on the cartridge!).
@jtmnm Surely it'll come eventually. They have to see the success of legacy/retro games on Nintendo platforms, especially Switch. There is a big segment of gamers who are longtime Nintendo fans and do not have an Xbox to play Rare Replay but would jump at the chance to play these games again that the majority of them were on past Nintendo consoles. When the rumors first started of Microsoft working with Nintendo to get games on Switch Replay was the first game most thought of, but Cuphead was also a nice surprise and treat.
@MarioLover92 Yeah that's the one we need. Especially now that Banjo is in Smash. Not to mention that the majority of the games in that collection are from Nintendo consoles (and sorely lacking from my large Virtual Console collection, along with that darn Disney Afternoon Collection that I still can't believe Capcom was dumb enough not to put on Switch or Wii U).
@BulkSlash Ha! It makes you wonder if that's how they really went about it. They had to know that their design would be too much different for fans to swallow.
@Dman10 Yeah surely they'll knock them down to $25-$20 before too long. I never played Resident Evil Zero so I would like to give that one a go and if it was $20 I would grab it right away, and probably grab all 3.
Had a lot of fun with the kids playing the first game back then. I also remember my son playing a lot of Billy Hatcher too. That was a decent game too.
@MeloMan Maybe they could just take out the player names and team names like in the NES game and the game that game out on DS. I would love to Tecmo Super Bowl again.
Reminds me of when I was in college in the mid-late 90's. Ebay had just begun and my roommate and I made decent money selling games on Ebay. Back then you could go to a pawn shop and buy NES, SNES games, etc for just a few dollars each no matter what game it was. You could also go to garage sales and thrift stores and find whole boxes of games for $5-$10. Many times these would even have the boxes and manuals too. You could find Super Mario Allstars, Final Fantasy III, Tecmo SuperBowl for $2 then sell them for $25 on Ebay. Most gamers had moved on to N64 and PlayStation and had no use for "old obsolete games). Of course, eventually others caught on (especially with EB Games and Software Etc popping up and selling retro titles and sytems) and the prices all went up dramatically, especially at pawn shops. I can still get lucky sometimes and find someone selling a SNES or Sega Genesis system complete with games at a garage sale or antique shop for a good deal.
@Cissero Me too. That shortness gives me a better reason to pick it up and play through it with all of the other games and responsibilities taking up my free time.
@FullMetalWesker I agree. Maybe now that these minis are running their course they will add some individual games to purchase on the eshop. I haven't bought either of these because I have virtually all of the games on my Wii U through VC and Wii VC. The only exceptions are the Star Fox games, and I would LOVE to be able to play Star Fox 2. I've been wanting to play it now for what, 23 years now?
@dkxcalibur Ha! I too have the same backlog problem, like most Switch owners probably have by now. We've definitely come a LONG ways from the Wii-U drought days. Seems every week I buy at least 1-2 retro games if there are not bigger games that interest me. There is a large amount of games I have on Switch that I have not even booted-up yet!
@Bunkerneath
Yeah I bought a GameGear in the mid-1990's and kept it until my kids were old enough to play it in the early 2000's then I was able to pick up a car adapter, TV tuner, carrying case, and more games off of eBay. With the car adapter and AC cord, my son was able to make great use of it on vacations and road trips. Was a nice little gaming system.
That sounds silly. Just make it like the Switch is now but with integrated controls and sell it without a dock. Then someone could buy a separate dock later and extra joycons if they wanted to play on a TV. But to take away the ability to play on TV at all? Doesn't seem too smart to me.
I need to try Gris and VVVVVV. I loved Sonic Mania, still mad that my local Gamestop only had ONE COPY of the Collectors Edition for preorder (and of course it was gone instantly before I could preorder it!).
