@Bizaster Yet physical media sales are plummeting at this point with more and more people going digital and Limited Run Games just banks on nostalgia to stay alive, and also I don't care if this is irrelevant but there are less people buying Blurays than there are subscriptions to video streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Video!
@Bizaster Say what you want about the cloud but to say you will stop your your favorite form of entertainment because of the all digital and no physical future is just dumb since no matter where you look all forms are slowly starting to move into digital only!
@mikegamer Oh great, another clown that is spewing out stuff that is not true, just what we all needed I mean seriously digital is is the future and and most game publishers are slowly starting to completely move away from physical and rightfully so since it is both much cheaper and much easier to completely sell a game digitally than physically and heck indie games have always usually been digital only stupid so get over it!
@Luminous117 Meh, the Pokemon Ranger games have had their time in the spotlight and The Pokemon Company is too busy with both the main series Pokemon games as well as mobile games to really be interested in another Nintendo platform exclusive extensively made Pokemon spinoff game like Pokemon Ranger game, however, they could do some kind of Pokemon Ranger themed thing in Pokemon Go but that is about it!
@WahooTime Except the Sega Nomad has awful battery life, felt like a brick when holding it, and it was just was just completely dead by the time it came out!
@RupeeClock Except those Nintendo games that you mentioned (minus Bower's Inside Story 3DS as well as Yoshi's New Island) were some pretty highly praised games from Nintendo!
Makes me wonder if Nintendo and Microsoft have completely had a partnership with Microsoft or were considering a Microsoft partnership even before the Wii U!
I would love to see a Street Fighter 2 Anniversary Edition port but then again we already have Ultra Street Fighter 2 The Final Challengers on Switch so there is that!
@Maschinenmensch The future of portable gaming is mobile and the and there is no longer a market for dedicated handhelds anymore except for the Nintendo Switch but then again I personally have seen more and more people game on their phones than the Nintendo Switch since phones have completely better specs than the Nintendo Switch!
@Darknyht While I understand that it is a high quality remake I personally completely see where you are coming from as even higher quality Nintendo Switch such as the Nintendo Switch port of Doom 3 are much cheaper than this!
@Simonmoskovits To me, framerate drops are not an issue for games running at either 60fps or above but are more of a problem for games running at 30fps and since Zelda Breath of the Wild completely runs at 30fps having framerate drops is not a good thing!
@Damo I have to completely agree with everything here as I completely apologize for my actions but my point about the original image being clickbaity still stands as I was personally one of those "jerks" that originally completely thought that Miyamoto had completely died and not the guy that this article is completely talking about!
@brandonbwii To me, there is no point of Miiverse existing at all anymore since more and more kids these using other social networking services like Facebook these days, and also Miiverse was mostly filled with dead memes.
@ReaderRagfish Thanks for being a jerk, and also if you can't accept the fact that there are people out there like me that don't want stuff like this than you can just leave!
@ReaderRagfish Except that it is already bad enough that you have use the Nintendo Switch's voice chat system via the use of the Nintendo Switch voice chat mobile app so why would you completely defend Nintendo for something like this Super Smash Bros mobile app is completely beyond me.
@Ventilator And wireless still having more connection drops than wired is not only the main reason as to why I personally hate wireless with a burning passion but also the main reason why I personally prefer wired you have almost no connection drops completely making it more reliable than wireless.
@Ventilator I completely agree with everything you've stated there as less and less phones coming with AUX ports is definitely stupid as that completely prevents you from using superior sounding analog audio equipment right out of the box without an adapter.
@Indielink The newer Samsung Galaxy Note phones from the Note 8 and upwards are good because of the S Pen and touchwiz on them not being as laggy as it once was to me.
@Ventilator To me, the only way for phones and other portable with stereo speakers to reproduce proper stereo audio would be if small enough base ports were to be made for both phones and other portable devices with built-in stereo speakers.
@Ventilator The other reason as to why phones with stereo speakers can't properly produce a proper stereo audio experience is that even stereo speakers on phones that have them are just too small to reproduce a proper stereo audio setup!
@Yozora146_ I completely agree with everything you've stated including the part of your comment whereby you've similarly stated that nothing beats a true Dolby Atmos setup because you can't have a proper Dolby Atmos audio setup on a Dolby Atmos capable device without a proper Dolby Atmos sound system.
@Yozora146_ Yeah but just because your phone's stereo speakers (if your phone has stereo speakers) may very well support Dolby Atmos doesn't mean that it is gonna properly encode it as Dolby Atmos software based stuff, much like other similar things, are really just high quality audio tweak for Dolby Atmos supported devices that won't fully work until you connect said Dolby Atmos capable device to a proper Dolby Atmos sound system!
This is why I personally hate it when mobile gaming gets hyped to no end to the point where these mobile phone makers act like that their powerful modern day smartphones are somehow better gaming devices than dedicated handheld gaming devices like the PS Vita when in reality they are completely wrong in that aspect!
@Pete41608 Look if you seriously think that Nintendo Life shouldn't be allowed to post Sega related news posts on the Nintendo Life website than you can just leave Mario fanboy!
@Will808 Sorry but I personally have exclusively switched to dedicated handheld gaming consoles for all of my portable gaming needs ever since I got my PSP Go on Amazon I believe i 2016 or something as I personally don't need to completely rely on completely unreliable Bluetooth connections just to play games with physical controls on any of my dedicated handheld gaming consoles thanks to their built-in physical controls for gaming.

Re: Capcom Arcade Stadium Brings More Retro Action To Switch Early Next Year
@elreins There was a Java phone version released sometime in the 2000s as part of the I believe now completely defunct Yahoo Mobile game service!
