Assuming this is on a cart and not from the eShop, would a cart with a shiny of every single Pokemon be worth real money? Could she auction it off?

I haven't played all of them and still know it's Skyward Sword. However, the controls are basically the only thing I did like about the game.

If my credit card weren't already maxed out, I'd buy one of these.

@MrHonest the Wii U has you covered. $9.99.

I never had the opportunity to play ExciteBots, but I played the hell out of ExciteTruck and loved it. Actually, I think I played it at E3 in 2006.

No Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures? That's the best one!

Great choices on here. Wasn't expecting Arcanine though.

Won't this be an automatic mandatory update the first time you boot the game?

This is just like when DLC was already on the disc of some game that released 10 to 15 years ago. I cannot remember the game though. It upset a lot of people then.

Is anybody buying these?

Woah you buried the lead! That's PixelJunk Shooter, one of the best games ever made.

What about Pikmin Adventure in Nintendo Land?

I'm going to get this for Steam and use Steam Link (remote play) to play on my Android.

@ALazyUsername128 exactly. They're track record for adding games is abysmal. At BEST, I'd expect four released in a batch every quarter. More realistically, one a quarter.

@dustinprewitt woah you must have played the crap out of the Genesis.

@LunarFlame17 ok, fair rebuttal.

@RealDoctorWho42 I agree with you if your point is regarding whether or not they respect their customers. But they're great at business decisions with the objective of increased revenue and stock value. They're a very smart capitalist organization. They invest exactly as much money as needed into a game to sell they're target number of copies. Like Mario Golf: Super Rush. It could be better, but an extra 10% or 20% investment would not net an equivalent return. Same with whatever the new Mario Party is called. It's essentially a port, but it has only 5 stages. Why? Because another 5 stages wouldn't sell more copies, and also they might sell more stages as DLC, which WILL be effective because they know they're audience is willing to pay more.

@BloodWolfe my Steam Deck preorder was the easiest decision I've ever made.

@LunarFlame17 why not just get 3D All-Stars Collection?

@TurtleTurtle You're enabling unethical and disrespectful business practices.

@miniMewtwo lol

@Darkyoshi98 That's completely false. Sony and Microsoft give at least two free games every month, and they're almost always relatively new. And, they have discounts for subscribers. Nintendo release like one rom a quarter that isn't worth playing anyway. I've never been opposed to the $20 price, since that's basically paying for online play. But this Expansion Pack cost should literally be a crime. If Nintendo cared about their customers, they'd release the Expansion Pack for free. They're roms of games that are at least 25 years old, and it cost them probably $2 to port them. Heck, the NES roms are running on the same emulator as Animal Crossing for GameCube.

Freaking psychotic. Nintendo is smoking crack. The price is unethical and offensive to their customers. Absolutely everybody should boycott. In fact, cancel your basic online subscription too until they start to respect their customers.

"Apart from free." Oh. This is not the poll for me.

@The-Chosen-one pre-ordered the Steam Deck the moment it went on sale. Unfortunately, so did everybody else. So now I've got to wait like a whole year. Valve was "surprised" by the sales, which is psychotic. How they didn't expect to sell at least 20 million units (I'm guessing) immediately astounds me.

@TheBigK it can be very frustrating. A lot of people recommend Fusion over Super for this reason: it's practically linear in comparison. I used a guide or forums several times to finish Super Metroid. Save states were also extraordinarily helpful (Wii U). One thing I know for a fact, when you find the quicksand, just open a guide.

@anoyonmus lol that's a fact

@fafonio of just the first one? That's too bad.

Will this be the first 2D Metroid for many of you? I've played Super Metroid and Metroid Fusion. I own Zero Mission on my Wii U and am planning on playing it soon. And I intend to buy a 2DS shortly to play Returns.

I cannot wait for this game. Day 1 purchase for me.

Actually, I bought The Longing recently, too. I'm going to play it next.

I haven't played many point-and-click adventure games because I typically find them extremely obtuse and the puzzle solutions arbitrary. For example, I was very excited for Primordia because I love the aesthetic, but I didn't enjoy it at all. I'm not sure I solved a single puzzle without looking up the answer. HOWEVER, a few days ago, I started another adventure game on Android that I'm g loving. Tormentum: Dark Sorrow. It's on PC, Mac, Android, and iOS. The world is so interesting. I love the artwork and mood and sound. There are some interesting decisions regarding loyalty and betrayal. And most importantly, the puzzles actually make sense, mostly. I've had to look up two items I couldn't find. Very fun, highly recommended.

EDIT: Literally just finished it. Excellent game.

Best golf games, go!

If that were a Nintendo Pro Controller, I'd actually buy it, and I don't even own a switch.

No game has matched the brilliant design of Wave Race. No game has a dynamic track that you're constantly adapting to. I have no idea how they achieved this technologically on the 64.

Top 6 Pokémon. I used that one Pokemon selector website a while ago; don't remember the name. You'll notice they're all from Blue and Silver because those are the ones I've played. I also played about half of Black but didn't finish it. And now I can't find my cart There were definitely a few Pokemon I loved in it though. But a lot of them were grass type, which was super frustrating because I don't need like 6 grass type Pokemon and don't have a dozen hours to train them just because.

1. Vaporeon
2. Scizor
3. Magmar
4. Charmander
5. Haunter
6. Lugia

If I were to keep going, off the top of my head, I'd say Hitmonlee, Ampharos, and Mew.

Aria of Sorrow is the only Castlevania I've played through, on my masterpiece of a console Wii U. I enjoyed it. Afterwards, I bought Symphony of the Night on PS4. It's impossible. I think I'm an hour in and I can progress no farther. I've never understood the appeal of unnecessarily difficult games.

@mystman12 that's a fair point. It is odd that they never released DLC for it, especially since it sold 15 million copies apparently. The rumor is that the developer switched to making 51 Clubhouse Games. So maybe my theory is wrong.

@RottedQueen your confusion is warranted. I thought this was DLC for Super Mario Party at first. You might also be thinking of the 100 mini game collection for 3DS.

I think that Splatoon is one of the best games ever made, and certainly one of the best multiplayer shooters. I don't have a Switch, so I haven't played Splatoon 2 yet. But knowing what I do about it, and what I've seen of 3, the game is getting too complex. For those who have played both 1 and 2, what is your opinion? For me, the additions don't seem to add much to the gameplay; they just unnecessarily complicate it. Do you feel that Splatoon 2 is objectively better than 1? Do you feel that the new weapons and perks have improved the experience or competition? What is your opinion on 3 so far?

I literally can't stand Chris Pratt, so that could not have been worse news.

I think they're probably capping the board count at 5 because then they can release more boards later as either paid or free DLC. It's a win/win for Nintendo because the cost of making more boards for the base game wouldn't be offset by the additional sales the inclusion would earn. Then Nintendo can release more boards as paid DLC for obvious reasons. Or they can release them as a free update to boost player morale about their purchase and also re-insert themselves into the news cycle for a bump in sales. The decision is purely strategic.

So is Pokemon Diamond and Pearl their big holiday release? Metroid is releasing too early to count. Or are they holding off on announcing Odyssey 2?

Nintendo's pricing practices are unethical. They're releasing a handful of decades-old roms, which required no additional effort for their Switch release, and asking for more money. I'm guessing another $10, like many of you already have. They're charging more because they know they will get it. The one truth about companies in a capitalist economy is that they will charge whatever people are willing to pay. They're a publicly traded company and their mission is to make money; I get that. But this is unethical. I truly feel Nintendo does not care about their customers.

@Specter_of-the_OLED I played Beauty and the Beast on emulator recently. I really enjoyed it. I need to look into the others though.

But where is Toy Story? That's the true classic.

@Kang81 oh no! I'm so sorry I just double checked, and the thousand year door is not on Wii U.

@RCGamer lol this is genius

I love Phil Spencer, and I've never owned an Xbox. His strategy has singlehandedly changed the medium. Xbox is now and forever will be backwards and forwards compatible. With game pass over the cloud, you can even play X|S exclusive titles on an Xbox One. It's an egalitarian approach. No matter what you own or where you are, you can play Xbox. The others are falling behind rapidly. Only Sony's fandom and exclusives will keep it alive, but not forever, unless they adapt quickly. PS Now has to catch up in streaming quality. Though they're finally offering 1080p, it doesn't even run well enough to support 720p. And it doesn't have mobile support yet. And they probably need to include their exclusives like Xbox is. Sony has a totally different business model, but I think they're being very quickly outpaced and out-innovated by Microsoft.

@I_commented thanks for the encouragement. I think I'll give it another shot when the time is right. Always too many games to play am I right?
