Mario is not dead; he's just missing.

@Axelay71 Thanks for the recommendation; I'll keep an open mind and give it a go. It'll feel like a new Metroid game for me.

@Dualmask That's why I enjoyed Axiom Verge so much; it feels like Metroid while being its own thing.

@Axelay71 @Moistnado I bought Other M for $20 but I never got around to playing it. Maybe I should give it a chance.

I would love to play a Metroid game with this art style on my Switch. Of course, I will most likely buy any Metroid game for the Switch (please release Metroid Prime Trilogy for the Switch). Since Super Metroid was my introduction to the series, making me an instant fan, I am partial to this art style.

I recently bought the first game for the Switch but I haven't played much of it yet. I like it so far, though.

I'm glad it's real; I'm interested.

Maybe Kate Gray has magic powers but hasn't realized it yet.

I never played the Asterix arcade game, but this looks like it could be fun. As a longtime fan of animation, I love the art style. My preference would have been for the new TMNT game to be like this and look like a cartoon. This even has comic book style visual sound effects. POW! (PAF!)

The only MH game I've played is Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate on my 3DS. I'm sure MH Rise will be an upgrade, but I will wait for a sale.

I always found the art style very appealing. I didn't have a GameCube, but I bought this when I got my Wii.

Physical? Not limited? I'm interested; I'm glad I waited.

The review just put this game on my radar and my wishlist.

@PhilKenSebben I had to do a Google search for Explosionade DX; it looks like a fun action game.

@KonoRobinMaskDa676 Please let me know if the Switch version of Overcooked! All You Can Eat includes the Muppet Swedish Chef character.

Being a gamer on a budget, I almost always wait for a sale (Blizzard Arcade Collection was the rare exception) but this looks like something I would enjoy. At this price, I might not wait if it gets good reviews.

Precedent indicates that the revised Switch will be called new Nintendo Switch.

@dojmin A TMNT action RPG would be fantastic!

I was pleasantly surprised by this announcement. This looks like a really good arcade style beat-'em-up.

I would give this collection an 8 or 9. I'm enjoying playing Lost Vikings and Blackthorne again. I like that different versions that I never had an opportunity to play are included (especially the 32X version of Blackthorne). I never played Rock N Roll Racing, but I love the definitive version.

The museum and music player are nice inclusions, although Rock and Roll Racing's tracks are not included. I didn't realize Jim Lee did Blackthorne's cover art.

It is disappointing that Norse by Norsewest (Lost Vikings 2) is missing. Also, I would really like to play a new Lost Vikings game; it's a series I'd like to see revived.

3D Dot Game Heroes please!

@Sabrewing I would also add Bejeweled to that list. These are classic on-the-go games.

I've had fun playing Blazing Beaks; I think it's worth the $1.70/1.70€. There is a risk/reward system in place with artifacts, which are randomized, so each run is different. It is satisfying to see enemies accidentally kill each other.

I got several of these for free during the Christmas promotion a year or so ago. I also got Akane for free by buying Dex during a previous sale (that was not nearly as good as this sale). I liked Mana Spark (enough to get the DLC when it was on sale), Dex, Akane, and Space Pioneer.

I will probably get a few of the Bit.Trip games (Runner is a must at that price). As a gamer on a budget, I rely on sales to support my gaming habit. Qubic Games has had some really good sales in the last couple of years, but this is the best so far.

Did he attend the same university as Doctor Doom?

Plague Knight was based on the plague doctor, so the name change makes sense (other than the whole thinking of death and disease while dining thing).

My first thought was: Why does the mummy have Krull's Glaive (but it's missing a blade)? Obscure movie reference aside, this looks interesting. I respect Devolver Digital (I loved Gato Roboto) and I look forward to seeing a review of this.

@OorWullie I've been playing the definitive edition with my headphones on; it's great!

I loved Lost Vikings and Blackthorne. I never played Rock N Roll Racing, but it sounds like a lot of people here really liked it. For the extras they put in this collection, I'm okay with the price, even if I will miss Norse by Norsewest; the Aladdin and Lion King collection was $30.

EDIT: I bought this collection; I'm really glad I did. The definitive edition of Rock N Roll Racing was an absolute blast; it had the actual songs with lyrics. I found my PS1 copy of Norse by Norsewest, but I still feel that it should have been included in this collection. Also, I never knew Jim Lee did the cover art for Blackthorne.

@MindfulGamer The whole time reading this article and comments, I've got the song from the movie going in my head...

We are the three amiibo, we are three a-amiibo, we are the three a-aaaaaaaamiibo, and amiibo forever we'll be

They're going to make Mario sound like Bob Hoskins, aren't they?

@WachiAlphi I was hoping a Mario Strikers game would be announced for the Switch. I never had a chance to play the original on the Wii. I will probably get this eventually, but I'm in no rush (pun not intended).

Mother
Wave Race
F-Zero
Chibi Robo
Metroid
Wario Land (in the style of Shake It!)

Please? (At least one of these is possible)

The original Shovel Knight was an instant classic. I had not seen Pocket Dungeon before; I would get that if it is inexpensive. I am very interested in Dig, however. I really want to see a 16-bit Super Shovel Knight and Shovel Knight RPG.

I'm still hoping Papa Ninty will give us new Wave Race and F-Zero games along with that rumored Metdoid Prime Trilogy. I never played Pushmo, but I feel your pain

@Zeldafan79 This would have been a good inclusion. I thought it was also a huge oversight not to include the classic original game in the compilation. It certainly wasn't due to the file size.

@Entrr_username I thought the exact same thing.

@KateGray I did. I sang along in my head.

I read this quickly and thought Knights of the Old Republic was coming to the Switch; I never had an XBox and didn't have a chance to play that game. That would have been exciting news.

The casting for this movie is puzzling. Kevin Hart would be better as Claptrap than as Roland. I still prefer Claptrap's original voice, though. Is Handsome Jack the movie villain?

I already have this game. Can I get the Muppet Swedish chef instead?

@jobvd That's good to know. Thanks!

I'm debating whether to get this or preorder Thomas was Alone. Both are on sale for about the same amount and I can only afford one right now.

I am definitely inerested. This looks great!

The 80's nostalgia is strong with this one. I like it! The intro reminded me of the opening cinematic of Another World/Out of This World.

@rjejr There are certain exercises that I will not add to my skill set; I know my limitations. I do the actual running in place to challenge myself but I appreciate that they added a "silent mode" to bounce in place to make the character run, which is less impact on the knees, should that be a concern. I bought this in November and have played Adventure mode 30 days (I just completed World 8); I have definitely noticed a difference in my fitness level. As a life-long couch potato, I appreciate the game elements to distract me from focusing on how hard it is to get that much-needed exercise.

I was surprised go find out you can customize the character (and the ring guide) to be male or female; I had only seen screenshots of the female character.

@Susurrus I was thinking lately that it would be nice if Nintendo released another game to use the RingCon (similar to Link's Crossbow Training). DLC would be welcome too.

@Expa0 I was also disappointed in the demo. There was far too much hand-holding for my taste. I really like the art style; I found it very charming. If a positive review reveals that this demo is actually an early-game tutorial and not representative of the game as a whole, I would consider geting it during a sale.

@Yosher "I have a feeling it'll become another one of those long remaining dormant series to add to the growing list of dormant Nintendo IP series."

Metroid and Mother fans say hello. Of course, some IPs might be better off remaining dormant. Poor Chibi-Robo...

The name reminds me of: "Behold, the Underminer! I'm always beneath you, but nothing is beneath me! I hereby declare war on peace and happiness! Soon, all will tremble before me!"

I never had a GameCube. When I bought my Wii, I got a bunch of bargain-priced GameCube games and had fun finding out what I had missed out on.

My wallet breathes a sigh of relief...

I'd just like to see Rayman again.

I am puzzled by Citizens Unite. Citizens of Earth and Citizens of Space were both published by Sega. However, Citizens Unite, which includes both of these games, is published by Kemco. Does anyone know why?

My copy of Turrican Flashback is scheduled for delivery tomorrow.

Also, Cyber Shadow and Project Starship X released this week but are not on this list.
