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.
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."
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.
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.
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'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...
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).
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!

Re: Feature: Mecha And Memories - How 16-Bit Nostalgia Influenced SNES-Style JRPG 'Chained Echoes'
You got my attention at SNES-inspired. Then you throw in dragons, mechs, and steampunk. Now I'm really interested.
Re: Jurassic World Aftermath Collection Unearths November Release Date On Switch
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.

Re: Review: Them's Fightin' Herds - Cute And Cuddly Characters Mask An Incredibly In-Depth Fighter

Re: Review: Mario + Rabbids Sparks Of Hope - Creativity Trumps Challenge In This Delightful, Divergent Sequel

Re: Games Like Zelda - What To Play After You've Finished Breath Of The Wild
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.
Re: Pompom: The Great Space Rescue Looks Like A Lost SNES Platformer, Switch Demo Out Now
This looks good; I like the twist of helping the character rather than control it. What's the price?
Re: Dead Cells Is Getting A Free Boss Rush Update Later This Month
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.

Now can we please get Rare Replay on Switch?
Re: Talking Point: Where Are All The Lord Of The Rings RPGs On Console?
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.

Re: Review: Shovel Knight Dig - A Finely Formed Roguelite That Strikes 16-Bit Gold
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.
Re: Select Pre-Orders For Atari 50 Get Gravitar: Recharged For Free
@Magician Fair enough; I guess I'll find out on my own eventually.
Re: Select Pre-Orders For Atari 50 Get Gravitar: Recharged For Free
@Magician I like Tempest 4000. What's different between Tempest 2000 and Tempest 4000? (Other than 2000...)
Re: Select Pre-Orders For Atari 50 Get Gravitar: Recharged For Free
I just checked Amazon and Best Buy; neither mentions a preorder bonus.
Re: Select Pre-Orders For Atari 50 Get Gravitar: Recharged For Free
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...
Re: Nintendo Infographic Shows Every Title Featured In September's Direct
All I wanted was a release date for Advance Wars 1+2 Re-Boot Camp and Metroid Prime anything (trilogy, remaster, 4 - LOL)...
Re: Poll: What Switch Online N64 Game Are You Most Excited About?
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.
Re: Feature: Rayman Is Back In 'Mario + Rabbids Sparks Of Hope' - So Is He Actually Cool Now?
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.
Re: Review: Splatoon 3 - The Pinnacle Of The Series And Switch's Slickest Shooter
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).
Re: Rumour: It's Not Even September And Nintendo Direct Rumours Have Already Started
Am I the only one that wants a new Wave Race?

I loved the first game. This is going straight to my wishlist.

I'm getting a Gravity Falls vibe from this. I like it.
Re: Face Off Against A Giant T-Rex In 'Little Orpheus', Launching Next Month
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).
Re: Sunsoft Hosting New Digital Event To Announce Upcoming Titles
@KryptoniteKrunch I have fond memories of Aero the Acrobat. It would be nice to have those games on the Switch.

Do a barrel roll!
Re: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection Will Kick Shell In August
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.
Re: Reminder: "Next-Gen" Anti-Grav Racer Redout 2 Finally Available On Switch
Is NL going to review this? There is no way I'm taking a chance on a $40 game.
Re: Video: What Was Your First Video Game Ever?
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.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Flashback 2 (misnomer notwithstanding) for me!
Re: Feature: Will We Finally See These Games In The Not-E3 Nintendo Direct?
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: Shredderās 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 PiƱata?!
I'd like to see Rare Replay, Metroid Prime Trilogy, and Wave Race on Switch. I've given up on F-Zero...
Re: Sonic Origins Shows Off Animated Cutscenes, Mirror Mode, And More
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
