@glennjohn22 I did the same thing. As soon as I saw the article on NL about the Gulikit joysticks, I bought a repair kit with two sets of joysticks, watched some YouTube videos, and replaced both sets of my original release joy-cons. I haven't had a problem since. I constantly battled drift previously. Games are enjoyable again!

Metal Mario from Super Mario 64.

I need to make sure I have Wario Land 4 on my Wii U before it's too late. We need a new Wario Land game on Switch.
Antonblast looks fun, too.

Shouldn't this be released on March 10? It's Mario Day!

Easy answer: All of them.

I DIY'd it! I ordered the kit wth two pairs of Gulikit joysticks, found instructional videos on YouTube (big thanks to iFixit and Joe Bleeps), and fixed both sets of joy-con. Drift begone!

Looks good. I look forward to a review before committing.

@joey302 I would vote for a Midway collection, which would include some Atari gems (such as Gauntlet and Paperboy).

I have two sets of joy-cons from the 2017 original release. Both sets are drifting so badly, I am considering doing this. The drift is a constant battle.

Thank you, @WhiteUmbrella for that explanation. I found that to be very helpful.

In the video, one of the weapons appears to be a gnome. This game looks weird in a fun way.

I still fire up my 3DS occasionally so, no, the Switch does not seem old to me.

In my day, all we had were Asteroids, Space Invaders, and Donkey Kong and we were impressed...

I seem old to me....

Wow! That looks good!

I guess the promotion worked; I decided that I am highly unlikely to be the first person to enter the code and bought Pad of Time for $3.19 on the Switch eshop.

Great! I'll have to check it out after I get home from work.

I'd like to see Gyruss on Switch, either as DLC to the Arcade Classics Collection or as part of Hamster's Arcade Archives.

Thanks for this review. It reminded me that I need to play Golf Story.

This looks fun.

@ketrac Agreed.

This just reminded me that there was an animated TV series in the 90's called The Pirates of Dark Water.

Will Nintendo Life review The Captain and/or The Punchuin?

@Frooster Your prediction has proven to be very accurate. It appears that Creepy Tale 2 will be the final game in this giveaway.

The art style does not have to be cutesy to be family friendly.

That's good news! I'm getting 1930's cartoon vibes from the art style.

I was hoping for a more extensive list of deals. FYI - The physical version of Capcom Fighting Collection is $25 at Best Buy right now.

I'm intrigued. I look forward to seeing a review before deciding to get this.

I would prefer to see a comparison between Switch and PS4 versions.

Is Gravitar Recharged still a bonus for preordering Atari 50?

I want to play a sequel to Wario Land: Shake It! On Switch.

You got my attention at SNES-inspired. Then you throw in dragons, mechs, and steampunk. Now I'm really interested.

I find this very appealing. I have fond memories of the first-person interior sections of the SNES Jurassic Park game. Also, I really like cell shading, so this looks to be my kind of game.

I actually forgot about this one. I look forward to an eventual review.

The punny title of this game brought it to my attention. I'm glad it turned out well. Speaking of puns, I caught these in the review: "for those willing to pony up the cash" and "its draw may be limited."

I'm glad it got a good review. I'll wait for the inevitable $20 sale price.

A Zelda clone I'd like to be able to play on Switch is 3D Dot Game Heroes. The king of a pixelated 2D kingdom decides to make the kingdom 3D to increase tourism. The result looked a lot like The Touryst and played a lot like A Link To The Past. It was available on PS3.

This looks good; I like the twist of helping the character rather than control it. What's the price?

I need to play this game again to see all the changes. I'm impressed at how much has been made available at no charge. Of course, I was willing to pay for some DLC when it went on sale.

@Nanami_Ataraxi That's good to know; thank you!

It looks like it might be fun. I'll be watching for a review.

Now can we please get Rare Replay on Switch?

I remember a Lord of the Rings RPG on SNES based on the 1978 animated movie. Unfortunately, like the movie, it only told the first half of the story and never received a follow up.

@Truegamer79 According to the review, Dig is set before the original Shovel Knight, making it a prequel, even though the 16-bit art style makes it look better than original (similar to Star Wars episodes 1-3).

I have truly enjoyed all of the Shovel Knight games. I look forward to playing this one; the 16-bit art style is very appealing.

@Magician Fair enough; I guess I'll find out on my own eventually.

@Magician I like Tempest 4000. What's different between Tempest 2000 and Tempest 4000? (Other than 2000...)

I just checked Amazon and Best Buy; neither mentions a preorder bonus.

I'm very interested in this collection anyway, but the free download just convinced me to preorder. I was waiting for a sale on Gravitar Recharged; this is better. I'm still disappointed that Paperboy is not included...

All I wanted was a release date for Advance Wars 1+2 Re-Boot Camp and Metroid Prime anything (trilogy, remaster, 4 - LOL)...

Wave Race 64 and Goldeneye 007 are enticing me to upgrade my NSO subscription. If we can't get Rare Replay on Switch (which I would buy day 1), hopefully Nintendo will add the other Rare N64 games to NSO.

I'm kind of torn. I really enjoyed the 2D Origins and Legends games, but I also really liked the 3D style of The Great Escape. Maybe Ubisoft could make a Sonic Generations type of Rayman game that has both 2D and 3D levels.

Thanks for the review; it helped me make up my mind. Between an improved singleplayer mode and Salmon Run always being available, I've decided to get this (but I might wait for a sale).
