I've had this on my wishlist; I'll probably wait for a sale, though. Now that this game got a release date, maybe we can get a release date for Advance Wars 1+2 Re-Boot Camp (also delayed indefinitely for the same real world events).
I preordered a physical copy a few months ago. It's nice to have a release date. I probably would have preferred to play this collection before Shredder's Revenge, but I'm really not complaining.
My first video game was Space Invaders (arcade). The first console I bought was SNES, which came with Super Mario World. The first game I bought for it was Star Fox. Great games.
All I wanted from today's mini direct was details on the Portal and Cowabunga collections. The Portal games available today is even better than I hoped for.
@WindWakerLink I'm still waiting for my physical copy of KOTOR from LRG. My copy of Treasures of the Aegean has been ready to go for a couple of months but I ordered it with KOTOR to save on shipping...
@RubyCarbuncle As a gamer on a budget, I tend to wait for a sale. This strategy also pays off for content too; by the time I get the game, it has been updated.
@Angelic_Lapras_King Same here. The original Shantae was the only one I didn't have on Switch. I have been waiting for a sale, and this is a good one. Now I also have a complete set!
I'm happy about The Cowabunga Collection, but I'd really like to play Gyruss again. (3 warps to Neptune!) Maybe Hamster can add it to the Arcade Achives line.
I am not a history buff, but I am certain that Namco did not terminate their licensing deal with Midway in 1884. I suspect that happened 100 years later.
Seriously though, I didn't realize Ms Pac-Man had such a complex history. I do recall seeing "Midway" on the arcade machine in my younger days.
The built-in kickstand of the original Switch had design flaws: it was flimsy and often popped off, the Switch leaned to one side when used, and it exposed your SD card. I found a plastic stand that folds flat for easy storage at Five Below a few years back. It's a $5 fix!
Which Switch is right for me? The one I already have; I can't afford another one. I'm glad I'm not missing out on a new Metroid/Zelda/Mario game that's only available on an upgraded model. I still think this should have been the version that launched, though.

Re: Mini Review: Yars: Recharged - A Relaxed, Repetitive Reinvention Of An Atari Classic

Re: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection Will Kick Shell In August

Re: Video: What Was Your First Video Game Ever?

I'm wondering when we're going to hear about Advance Wars 1+2 Re-boot Camp again.
Re: More Details On Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge Physical Release Revealed
It takes LRG so long to ship the game, the free pizza coupon will probably have expired...
Re: Mario Strikers: Battle League's File Size Seemingly Revealed
@RubyCarbuncle As a gamer on a budget, I tend to wait for a sale. This strategy also pays off for content too; by the time I get the game, it has been updated.
Re: Feature: Our Predictions For The-E3-That-Isn't E3 - Bayonetta, GoldenEye, And... Viva Piñata?!

That animated cutscene is beautiful! I might be too impatient to wait for a physical release.
Re: Shantae Celebrates 20 Years With A Switch eShop Sale, Up To 50% Off

"I'd buy that for a dollar!"

@BoilerBroJoe I'd like to see DuckTales Remastered released on Switch.
Is there a physical edition for Shredder's Revenge?
Re: Want To See The Star Wars: Rogue Squadron Games On Switch? Let Aspyr Know
Yes, please! A collection of all three for the Switch would be great, but if I had to pick only one, it would be Rogue Leader.
Re: 'Blast Brigade' Brings '80s Action Flick-Inspired Metroidvania Exploration To Switch
Sounds like fun
Re: Feature: Which Is The Absolute Best Nintendo Console Generation?
My favorite generation(s): SNESwitch
Re: Random: Where's Ms. Pac-Man in Pac-Land?
I am not a history buff, but I am certain that Namco did not terminate their licensing deal with Midway in 1884. I suspect that happened 100 years later.
Seriously though, I didn't realize Ms Pac-Man had such a complex history. I do recall seeing "Midway" on the arcade machine in my younger days.
Re: Random: Portal 2's Intro Was Apparently Inspired By Super Metroid's Opening
I really hope there is a physical release for this collection.
Re: Mario Kart 9 Is "In Active Development" And Comes With A "New Twist", Analyst Claims
The twist is all of the characters are on jet skis. It's Mario Wave Race!
Re: Doug Bowser Comments On The Battle Against Joy-Con Drift, Says Nintendo Are Making "Continuous Improvements"
Wear is not the issue. I bought new joy-con that drifted from Day 1.
Re: Anniversary: We've Almost Been Watching Nintendo Direct Presentations For 10 Years Now
I read the title of this article to mean that it has been ten years of almost watching Nintendo Directs. Maybe it's time to actually watch one...
Re: Cosmic Is An Intriguing 'Interdimensional Adventure' Out Next Year
Looks intriguing. I'll put that on my watchlist.

Re: Doctor Who: The Edge Of Reality Arrives In September Starring Jodie Whittaker And David Tennant
Should we concerned that the game features glitches?
Re: Nintendo Won't Say Whether Switch OLED Joy-Con Fixes Drift, So Don't Count On It
After four years, my right joy-con started drifting hard to the right. I was fighting it constantly. This article helped: https://www.nintendolife.com/guides/how-to-fix-a-drifting-nintendo-switch-joy-con-analog-stick. Recalibrating helps short-term but I just got some contact cleaner.
Re: Review: Boomerang X - Frantic First-Person Action That'll Keep You Coming Back
In the screenshots, it looks like the mummy's hand is holding the Glaive from Krull (but it seems to be missing a blade).
Re: Soapbox: Could Switch OLED Actually Make A Reality Of Nintendo's Cheesy Tabletop Dream?
The built-in kickstand of the original Switch had design flaws: it was flimsy and often popped off, the Switch leaned to one side when used, and it exposed your SD card. I found a plastic stand that folds flat for easy storage at Five Below a few years back. It's a $5 fix!
Re: Tails Of Iron Is An Adventure RPG With Heroic Rats, Arrives On Switch Soon
This looks good. That reminds me: what happened to Curse of the Sea Rats?
Re: Should I Buy A Switch OLED? Which Nintendo Switch Is Best For Me?
Which Switch is right for me? The one I already have; I can't afford another one. I'm glad I'm not missing out on a new Metroid/Zelda/Mario game that's only available on an upgraded model. I still think this should have been the version that launched, though.
Re: Gallery: Nintendo Switch OLED Model In All Its Glory
@Scrubicius It's nice to know that I'm not the only one thinking it won't stay that white.
