Excelent news that is now playable again!
Hoping for a physical relase in any way though, as later when the switch eshop closes it will be the same thing.

YES!
I never managed to beat it and wanted to find a copy on the SNES itself but the things are expensive...

Will definitely get this! Looking forward to the music too!

I NEED this! I've always wanted to have any G&W of sorts. When I saw it had the lost levels it convinced me.

Hoping it will be steadily available on the preorder window.

Waiting for the PC port. Hoping it comes out soon.

I suppose rollback can't really be done due to what it entails (I've heard that it simulates another game state in the background) and I can see getting out of control due to items and multiple players.

However if the game had a dedicated 1 on 1, no items mode, pretty sure it could be done, but the limit is based on how they designed online to not be segmented like it was on Wii U.

They were always devalued due to the existence of external tools that allow to "paint" them :/

Like, also people give away bunch of them for free, so it's nice for people to get access to them, so I see them more in the end as an alternate look for a pokemon.

I like the higher odds too. I have the shiny charm for the past games and from what I've played, never encountered a random shiny unless I deliberately was hunting for one haha.

Of course there's also shiny hunting and the rush of getting that one pokemon you've been wanting to never gets old.

I bought SMB on PC and wanted to get a physical copy of the game, but I guess I rather buy the single one and not have sonic forces on it... (sorry!) Still, I suppose if the price is right, it could be a good value 🤔

Apple has nothing to lose.

This is pointless too; Epic is not the hero when they themselves do other questionable things.

The Apple ToC clearly mentions that if they have digital goods that are bough and used for the app must use the Apple Pay service (even if we know apple is scummy with how much it takes of the cut)
and Epic (should have) fully known this when they submitted the game into the store.

Yes, Apple is a scumbag, but you are using their platform so you can't really do much to try and "bend" the rules.

And besides this wouldn't be fair if they allow Epic to get away with, since all other apps are subjected to this too.

And really, Epic is the one who has more to lose from this (just see the Spotify vs Apple drama too)

Physical all the way.

Even if you go digital, when the switch store closes down in the future, you won't be able to redownload your games if something happens to your unit.

This is insane. Tour has all the cool retro tracks which have been updated and look wonderful, but the gameplay/gacha sucks big time.

Random characters added? Cool, more options; I'm down with it.

I wish MK8 would get more DLC or something, or maybe a new entry. I'm really liking some of the decisions they made for retro tracks and how they look in general.

@Panopticon maybe it is? The link cable port seems to be the same as the original one so I assume the gamecube cable works fine. 🤔 They mention you can use their cable on older model (except for the very first game boy) so I assume its the same connector.

I think I will cave in. I have a somewhat big GBA cart collection.

Playing on the SP is great. Maybe only the console itself. The dock is a bit too pricey for me, but will get some other things.

I hope the display looks as sharp as it does in the screens. I always like seeing the sharp pixels.

Insane! L was real after all...

These leaks never cease to amaze, and for a preservation standpoint, are awesome.

I love the original resolution images used for packaging; you can appreciate them better.

It's incredible really. So much stuff. People found the sprite of Mario Kart before it was even Mario Themed (the random person Miyamoto commmented)

However indeed, how this was obtained is not good.

I'll wait for sources to compile and catalog everything. From an historical and preservation standpoint, this is huge.

Interesting... However it will all boil down to the combat mechanics: hoping this is not a button masher.

Looking forward it.

It's weird. The recent paper mario game have good story and interaction outside the battle mode, but the battle mechanics are always weird. I suppose people want the battle mechanics more than an interesting story/interesting overworld.

I'd like to get these. Honestly, I'm pretty scared of even using my gamecube at this point. My past one laser scratched some of my discs, and the lens will always fade as the time goes on.

This looks incredible! I remember way back then when the first entry in the series I played was the one on PS1. It was really fun!

I was sad to hear the awesome gamecube one didn't released over the west, but even if it took too long to finally get it, it seems it was worth the wait.
I got the GBA one too a few past years and it was awesome as ever!

Really looking to play this one finally, especially on PC 👀

Awesome! These games will indeed become collectible down the future!

Excellent price, will surely get it! Been waiting to play this since forever. Nows the time!

It's missing space invaders extreme 2 I suppose it's because it uses the PSP version of the first game.
Oh well, will still pick it up.

So I just saw those videos and wow, I'm hyped! I hope it's just like the old classic SMB games. Can't wait!

@GameOtaku yes. in theory, based from the King of Kong documentary, seems like Billy provided the tapes or that he was supposedly playing live (but no one saw him), so they took that as a "proof" that it was done legitimately.

Regarding emulators being used, I don't mind as long as the leaderboards are separated. It's better that way because emulators don't really strive to emulate hardware constraints too, and hardware can have an impact on things in-game in some cases. This is most notably on speedruns, where load times or lag is less on an emulator, which can have an impact on the gameplay (such as higher framerate being able to react faster, etc.)

@BlubberWhale of course, that is what all we should do, to be better informed. There is enough material online for you to draw a conclusion yourself.

I hope we get another Spyro game! But my fear is that it will again be a timed exclusive and I better play these games on PC...

@Xiovanni I doubt it. One can verify that the level loads like that oneself by downloading that version of MAME, the DK rom, and looking at the video Billy provided. It's not something that can't be checked by yourself. Regarding board revisions, I'm sure that is documented somewhere (As the DK cabinets are populat), and besides, what are the odds of a hardware cabinet loading exactly the same as an emulator made at a later date? Seems to me that MAME handles loading differently and can't really replicate what the hardware did, so that concern isn't really relevant. Most emulators don't really have that hardware accuracy for that to be realistic as an "excuse" (and if we wanted to verify, we will need to get the latest version of MAME that was available at that time period)

About using an emulator, yes. Game speedruns and records usually have a separate category for both real hardware an emulator records. The problem here is that Billy is attempting to pass an emulator record as a record done on legitimate hardware (and of course, the legitimate hardware record has more weight than an emulator one)

@Elvie yeah, the old staff of Twin Galaxies is just a big can of worms :/ And that seems to unfortunately be the case, that perhaps Guinness caved on legal threats. I wonder what about the other supposed lawsuits Billy has against other entities will pan out, and If I recall, the current Twin Galaxies counter-sued Billy too, so it seems the show will still go on for some time :/

@retrogamingdev seems to me that is Baseless conjecture. People just asserting something and is taken as truth for their position for being an "expert". This whole topic has been heavily debated and investigated, and it has been show that the old staff of Twin Galaxies had an irregular, biased process of adding records to well known people.

How? The supposed footage of his records (at least for Donkey Kong) clearly shows the game levels loading exactly as they load in the MAME emulator, which has been proved that an original arcade always loads the levels in a different fashion. Those witness don't amount of anything if the hard evidence is there, and a certain witness loses credibility when it has been shown that irregularities in the verification process has been shady at best.

Remember, whether Billy is good at games is not questioned here, is about Billy lying that he never used MAME where evidence shows otherwise.

Please don't... at least not now. We need the Gen 4 remakes But honestly I'm not sure either as the production quality of SwSh was bad, so I rather not have them butcher Gen 4....

Never played this one, but I've always had the intention! So will definitely pick it up once it arrives!

I wonder how they could butcher this up. The DS games were pretty good. Maybe they should stick to that style again.

Maybe they will rerelease DX, and with the actual proper songs playing (i.e. the SMB1 space theme is in the game files but doesn't play)

Looks cool. The only thing that I don't like is how unnatural robo squidward looks when submerging: no splashes or anything.

Remember what Reggie said regarding AM2R; they are ok with mods and fangames, but when they see something that has potential to be profitable, then they take action.

Also, for the people that say that this is a "waste of time", get your head off the clouds; people are doing this because they like the game and they want to experience the game in multiple other ways, like like a hobby. If it's not on your cup of tea, then cool (while it's true that is a gray area, I'll stand with what Reggie said regarding AM2R, until another Nintendo representative touches on the subject again, and even is it's another IP, people are just having fun in the end)

This time, I suppose Nintendo is adamant to take it down because it's a way to play a complete game of theirs for free, which has potential that has to be rereleased, like what happened with metroid: samus returns and AM2R being released a few months before, which is completely justified if they want this taken down.

Dr. Hothead when? Honestly, as silly as some of the characters are, this is kinda cool hahaha. Hope they keep expanding their wacky roster.

Geneaology of the Holy War is #1. As expected.
Aweakening was my first FE game, but after playing the Jugdral games, I was blown away by the sheer presentation the game has (even if some areas really would benefit from modern systems or questionable map design at times)

Hoping for a remake!

this looks visually better than SWSH. I've never really played any of the clones, but I suppose if they are more of a challenge than XY/USUM/SHSW are, will likely give it a go. However it seems to be mobile bases, so it probably includes P2W elements, so most likely, no.

While as switch version looks hard to port with the same fidelity, I see it could come next kinda like how the spyro an crash trilogies went down. Anyways, will buy for sure <3

Hoping for a 3+4 collection later next (and how about THUG 1+2 plus wasteland too? )

I hope this means that they will continue to update it and fix the game issues.

I bought this digitally due to the current situation, as I would have get a physical copy myself.

We're about to see SM64 in everything now since the source code was reversed engineered.

Can't wait to play it on a smart fridge or on the Macbook Pro touchbar.

I hope it is in line with Project 8 and below.
I always liked all games up to American Wasteland (P8 was okay tho)

Well, I will miss the multiplayer, but it looks ok then? Will get it on PC. Looking forward more to the music 👀

No gyroids or the Roost

Still, awesome update!

@Zuljaras I suppose it's Game Freak's fault, not Nintendo 🤔

@JohnnyC exactly. Taking the whole controversial point aside and looking into the gameplay, the game doesn't really offers much, and it ends being shallow, bland and with nothing new to offer.

I hope they add Gyroids too!

I'm betting that the roost along with brewster & gyroids will come back, based on data mining from the game.

Awesome! Managed to get Steamworld Quest!

Thanks for the giveaway Image and Form!

Now I know what I'm going to play this weekend 👀

I'm down for Sunshine & 64 remakes. I really don't like playing 64 on itself, but if they rework it with better camera handling and visuals, I'm willing to giving it another go (but will it be the 64 DS version is the question)

All down for sunshine though! I'd love to see the landscapes in HD. If they remake the older 2d mario games, I hope they aren't as lazy as their SMAS counterparts and actual take care in translating the levels themes correctly.

Still, I will surely end up buying them all!
