You can still have fun with these games without it, but they're kinda missing the point without Game Boy cartridge comptability. These were always designed to be companion game to Pokemon R/B/Y/G/S/C.

This is just embarassing lol. This game is already severely lacking content and was pushed as an update focused game. Now it's taking almost a year for the first major update to come out. Imagine if this had been launched as a complete game like Wii Sports Resort? 🤔

Nintendo Selects started in 2011 with the Wii actually 😉

@CharlieGirl It's only BC with 63 OG Xbox games and they aren't adding anymore. In comparsion, there are 93 NES games on NSO, 72 SNES games on NSO and 20 N64 games on NSO. Nintendo is not perfect, but at least they didn't cut it off altogether for no good reason. Microsoft deserves more criticism for such a weak og Xbox BC imo. 360 is great tho.

I think remasters and remakes can be great even besides just having a game on a new console. QoL tweaks can help a game play a lot better and new graphics alongside it being a new big release can help expose the game to a lot more people than backwards compatability would. But yeah ideally Nintendo would have a much better system for old content as people have been saying for like a decade. Not every game will get a remaster or remake so there needs to be a better system.

@alexybubble I mean I respect your opinion, but I definitely disagree. They don't "respect" the creation, they just want to milk it for my money. Imo fangames should be legal as long as they're free and not profiting off the work.

@alexybubble How are you ok with this company profitting from stolen ip off a s***y mobile game? It's so lazy. Fangames are ok bc they're passion projects, they're not trying to steal from Nintendo. But this?? This is just lazy garbage

@Krambo42 The controls in Super Mario Kart are garbage lol.

@UltraZelda64 not really, when they are printing the regular Switch quite a bit

@johnedwin it's not the same, bc you still get the same dang console. The worst a smaller package will do is annoy collectors a little bit lmao

How about none of them? Why do ppl want Nintendo to be like everyone else?

@Maulbert The genesis mini was a great product and better than any of Nintendo's mini consoles as someone who likes Nintendo more. Sega has put out some great products

@iLikeUrAttitude Haven't played Monster Hunter, but SMT V, while good, doesn't scratch the Pokemon itch whatsoever. The demon designs aren't meant to be appealing in the same way and they're meant to be disposable.It also doesn't have the same sense of wonder and adventure that the (good) pokemon games have. I love other JRPGs but they don't scratch the same itch that Pokemon does for me.

@Paraka wasn't Mk11 annouced at the Game Awards one year?

@Crockin That would be fine, but if they don't any big new innovations they should at least wait till the next console. A big in house Nintendo series getting more than one game on the same console is not something that happens super often and that opportunity feels wasted here even if it will be a good game.

@moodycat ? Mario and Zelda change pretty drasticlly from entry to entry aside from a few expections like NSMB or whatever. In fact I feel like Odyssey and BotW kinda set the expectation that the Switch was going to revolutionize more series but it didn't end up happening that much to other franchises.

@Raffles FGC people try to not talk ***** about Smash challenge (Impossible)

@rockodoodle Yea idk that. Nintendo's in house input has been rather quiet as of late. Their last major in house release was New Horizons I think? Switch Sports was also in house somehow lmao

@rockodoodle my point still stands that Hal Labortory would never make a new Mario Kart, Donkey Kong, F Zero, Kid Icarus, (Insert whatever other Nintendo IP you wanna see back here). I want a lot of IPs back too but Kirby isn't taking away from that.

@rockodoodle Has there really been that many Kirby games? Besides small eshop spin offs there's only been 2 on Switch so far. Also it's not like Hal is going to make another F-Zero lol

@steventonysmith For anyone saying this, please realize video games are fiction and wholly seperate from reality. Thank you.

@Desa it's likely bc the game itself is already taking up a ton of space on the cartridge. It already has to be a 32 gb release.

@samuelvictor I would argue Mario 64 was more of a departure from the 2d Mario games than people act like. When I was a child it was weird playing Mario 64 DS when I had only played 2d Mario at the time. No question blocks, lack of focus on power-ups, less but bigger levels, etc. I still loved it tho (Mario 64 is actually my favorite game of all time) of course, but we wouldn't really get that true 2d to 3d transition imo until 3d Land although the galaxy games came close in some respects. In my mind Mario and Sonic both had to change fairly signifcantly when they made the jump to 3d, due to the technical constrants at the time. Now we've far past reached the point where it wouldn't be possible tho so I would love to see a 3d Sonic with physics, momentum, rolling and whatnot. The Adventure games and Gens are some of my favorite games ever, but so are Sonic 2,3&K, and Mania, so I would love to see to what they could with it.

@samuelvictor Yeah I get where you're coming from. I would just like to see some more creavivity like in the examples I mentioned rather than looking exactly the same as Green Hill looked like Sonic 1 (or worse like Forces. Green Hill looks so dead in that game to me. It's too washed out.) I still love completely different feeling openers like Emerald Coast and City Escape.

@samuelvictor You mean like a collectathon Sonic game? That would be kinda interesting. Frontiers actually looks the cloest to that from what we've seen and heard so far. It seems collecting things is a big part of the gameplay loop of this game. But I do agree that the open world looks a bit generic and this is coming from someone who actually likes more realistic Sonic as long as it isn't taken too far (like most of 06. I do like the look of some of the levels tho!). Unleashed and Gens look fantastic imo! Although I guess Gens is only halve more realistic lol

@samuelvictor I think a 3d Sonic that played more like classic Sonic would be really cool. But at the same time Green hill itself has been really overplayed. I wouldn't even mind a clone of Green Hill like Emerald Hill, Angel Island, Palmtree Panic, Seaside Hill, etc. That at least takes some creativity. But using the exact same level so many times just looks like they're ran out of ideas. This is the 3rd mainline game in a row, and the 5th if you count Windy Hill from Lost World as Green Hill. Green Hill from Sonic 1 is one of my favorite Sonic levels ever, but it's gotten overplayed to a ridiciolous extent.

@samuelvictor Lost World best artstyle in the 3d series? Lol you have some interesting opinions. I think Heroes and Colors come closer to matching the Genesis Sonic artstyle without being over the top cartoony like Lost World, which looks more like Walmart brand Mario than Classic Sonic imo.

@samuelvictor well at least someone got excited to see Green Hill again lol.

@Olliemar28 idk I thought that too earlier in the year, but it feels like some of the games this year have been kind of a disappointment. Mario strikers and Switch Sports are both lacking content. Kirby and the forgotten land is amazing but that's just one game and then Pokemon Legends Arceus was decent but kinda repetitive imo. I also have a feeling Bayo 3 and Mario + Rabbids 2 are going to get delayed.

@Mauzuri that wasn't him. That was the director of Sticker Star. All Miyamoto said to the team was basically that it looked too similar to Thousand Year Door and they should do something different. He also said they should challenge themselves to only use characters created before Mario World which is kinda dumb, but he didn't force them to listen to that lol. All it was was advice. Miyamoto doesn't even have much to with mainline Mario since 64, much less the spin-offs. But yeah most of the poor Sticker Star decisions fall on the director of that game, not Miyamoto.

@Wool_Sheep how is that a dealbreaker? The combined experience is better anyways. It's the definitive Sonic 3 that was supposed to be released.

@PepperMintRex Every cloud version has said that when they were annouced so I think we're safe

@Serpenterror yes but they wouldn't have made that decision until 1985 when the NES came out. By your logic the Atari 2600 would actually count for 1977 instead of 84 bc the Turkey carts still wouldn't work in a 1977 Atari.

@outsider83 ? You defeat the enemies in Sonic Adventure in one hit.

Snes should be paired up with Game Boy. The super Famicom came up just a year after the Game Boy did in Japan. But with these combinations selected, I picked Wii/DS with Gamecube/GBA right behind. SNES/Game Boy would be right up there if you all actually used the correct pairing lol

@Royalblues People just want them available to transfer. Not get them all in one region.

Guess any games related to Detective Pikachu just have to take at least 5 years from annoucement to come out. Lol

@Ogbert Physical games always have the option to buy secondhand. I always prefer to actually buy games as I feel more inclined to play than if I just download the game for free online.

@Kimyonaakuma With digital only games you're screwed regardless, which is the difference between games going out of print.

@NeonPizza how did they mess up Skyward Sword HD?

@meltendo The last mainline Sonic will have be 5 years when Frontiers comes out.

@BoilerBroJoe you ever played Yoshi's Island? He hasn't been from Brooklyn for a long long time. Even before Sm64 hit the shelves.

@frogopus Dr. Mario originally released on console???

Wtf is the point of this article? It's like saying Zelda is way better than Mario Kart. Why are you comparing two totally different games? Which one you like more is going to depend completely on your tastes.

@NintendoKnight It's almost like they have to spend more money to make it better 😲

Thank god. For a sec I was worried Mega Man X wasn't going to be able to play the next Nintendo console.

@Savino this is only counting Nintendo published games anyway.

I don't get all the hate on these forums for Sega honestly. Other than Sonic Forces and Valkyria Revolution most of their recent games have been at least decent if not great. Not to mention they've started giving some of their ips to indie devs to made fantastic games like Streets of Rage 4.

@thiz That's factually incorrect as someone who has actually played both games a good amount. Unlike you lol

@Knuckles I can tell just by looking at it. They are all running natively at 720p. Trust me n64 games look a lot blurrier on authentic hardware.
