I think the better question is why SEGA re-releases Sonic Labyrinth and Sonic Blast at all?

@Vil

I don't think licensing is an issue. Nintedno released Super Mario RPG on Wii, Wii U and SNES Classic Edition.

Looking forward to Side Pocket, no one said ever. Xevious....yawn. BurgerTime Deluxe is actually pretty good. Kirby's Dream Land is good, but not as good as the other Dream Land games.

@OldManHermit

You mean "Not enough Studs, stranger." or "Need more red bricks, stranger."

Now I want a Lego Resident Evil game or a Lego set. Of course, Lego will never do this with an M-rated franchises.

The best mobile game I played but that is not saying much when I could be any other Super Mario game on my console. Heck, I could download Super Mario Bros. on my phone, or to be legit, I could play it on my Switch via NSO.

Really, just Metroid Fusion? I would expected a few more games at once, perhaps two GBA and two GB/GBC games. I guess I should not be surprise since Nintendo been drip feeding their N64 service.

@Ooyah The angry bird is there, but has been censored by the logo.

Nintendo says this every year, but drops something anyways...albeit usually something small or do some kind of their own event while E3 is happening.

@Kyloctopus

Nintendo will probably branch out with Zelda since it is their biggest IP next to Mario regardless if there will be a movie. It will be awhile if the park is successful enough to expand anymore. It also depends on the structure of the park as well.

I actually have a physical copy of The Frog For Whom The Bell Tolls, of course I cannot play it on real hardware since I don't speak Japanese. Everyone should play this, somehow. It would be nice if Nintendo translated it for the west like they did with Mother 1 and Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light.

@Znake

Nintendo will likely release GBA games via NSO like they are doing with NES, SNES & N64. That is if they ever do that.

My hopes...

Something about Metroid Prime 4. Advance Wars releases soon, if not the same day of the direct. Some new first party games announcements.

@Bunkerneath Nintendo will probably do a dedicated direct for Tears of the Kingdom closer to release.

@Dom_31

Platinum does not make that call, Konami does so we probably get nothing or some garbage mobile game nobody wants.

@Ade117

The XBox version is mainly game pass exclusive. Rare Replay owners get the game for free provided they bought the digital version. Owners of a physical copy of Rare Replay are out of luck.

There is nothing worse than "Konami's Best" budget line. It was so bad, Konami stopped at one game.

Hard to decide, both covers are terrible.

Nintendo wants your money. Why charge $4.99 for Super Mario Bros. and instead charge $19.99 for a subscription even if you only want to play that one game?

@Hero-of-WiiU

It's Capcom. They cannot even bother to put small Mega Man Collections onto a single cartridge. We're lucky Capcom Fighting Collection got on one entirely without a mandatory download.

@Bustacap So Piko plans to re-release Glover again but drops support for the game on Steam. Just shows how lazy they are in game preservation, just buy licensing rights for games no publisher cares about anymore and hope some suckers who has nostalgia for their games buys them.

You are very much buying a Wii U for what exclusives are left on it. Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD, Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD, Star Fox Zero and Xenoblade Chronicles X. I know these were already recommended but that is just how it is.

There are a few games that are better on the Wii U than on other platforms such as Yoshi's Woolly World, ZombiU, NES Remix, Rayman Legends and Wonderful 101.

I DO NOT recommend majority of the Virtual Console, the emulation for the most part is very poor, specifically the contrast which appears to be very dark for most supported systems. GBA and Turbogfx are the exception and highly recommended. For other consoles, you are better playing on Nintendo Switch Online, micro consoles or as a last or only resort, emulating on your PC or modded systems.

@HammerGalladeBro

This is nothing new in the industry when it comes to remakes and remasters. Original devs are often uncredited because they no longer work for the company that published the games they worked on. Sometimes, original devs are credited in generic special thanks without actually naming anyone.

@Liam Doolan

Kirby Avalanche and Kirby Star Stacker are not the same games.

@Angelic_Lapras_King

Not a single one of the will have Ms. Pac-Man.

Let me guess, they are just exposing the security of the publisher to pressure them to improve their security. That is almost every hacker ever, not buying it anymore. Bandai Namco is not going to hire or reward them.

I was literally playing Pac-Man World yesterday, and then they announce a remake the next day.

I will assume Nier Replicant will also be coming to the Switch and both games will be Cloud versions. I'll pass.

I also cringed at Wind Waker when I first saw the trailers, but then I played at a friend's house and loved it. I looked in every store to buy my own copy, Walmart, Electronics Boutique (before merging with GameStop), and some video store I don't remember the name of. I ended up buying Viewiful Joe from the video store instead because I could not find Wind Waker anywhere that day. My friend let me borrow Wind Waker but decided he didn't want his game when I tried to give it back. I still have his game to this very day.

@NTELLIGENTMAN They do have the rights to Ms. Pac-Man but from what I understand, AtGames purchased royalty rights to Ms. Pac-Man. In otherwords, Bandai Namco must pay a sum to AtGames if Namco uses Ms. Pac-Man. Kind of stupid if you ask me.

So, this game is coming to major retailers as well as Limited Run Games. Way to expose yourself after all the controversy going on with LRG.

@Serpenterror Don't ask me. My post was meant to be a dumb joke.

Earthbound 2: You Can Quit Asking Now

I prefer to toggle the entire app off.

I don't mind Nintendo's budget line box art. I am waiting for Push Square's counterpart of this article to get on a raging rant .

@KingMike

Four is apparently enough since Konami released the Castlevania Advance Collection and there are four Rocket Knight games including the 2010 sequel on XBOX Live Arcade and PSN.

@CreatiScope

I didn't know that...perhaps I forgotten they released those. I have the Contra and Castlevania Collection as well as everything else they released on other platforms including the Genesis mini, so I am not exactly following the expansion pack unless they start releasing games not available elsewhere. I suppose there could a little hope for Rocket Knight but I am not raising my hopes up.

@Specter_of-the_OLED

Konami will likely release their titles in compilations likes they have been doing with Castlevania and Contra. I don't think Konami has released a single game under Nintendo's online subscription service. Honestly, I would rather buy a Rocket Knight compilation anyways but I doubt that will ever happen because Konami pretty much abandoned the IP.

@Specter_of-the_OLED

Rocket Knight never had a re-release, so it should be no surprise he won't get one on the Switch. The most he got was a mediocre sequel in 2010. Konami is more interested in milking more popular franchises like Castlevania and Contra...oh, and Ninja Turtles. If Konami re-releases Rocket Knight games on modern hardware, I'd be shocked they would do such a thing.

@Scrubicius Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time is a good port on the Switch considering the hardware limitation. The framerate is capped at 30 but is often stable. The game unfortunately is limited to display at 720p when docked. I would only recommend the port if you want your Crash 4 on the go unless the Switch version is your only option....actually, I would recommend it over the always online version on Battle.net.

@Stocksy

Never was balanced. Drug addicts get many years in prison while impaired drivers get just a few year for vehicle homicide. Furthermore, bad cops get a paid vacation for police brutality. Justice here in America is absolute crap.

I am still waiting some items from LRG. They need to stop adding more to thier catalog and focus on what they already sold.

@RupeeClock The collection included a video showcasing all games playable on GameCube though not in the collection specifically. Nintendo was pushing the Gameboy Player that same year.

Keep up the good work officers. Hopefully, that Snorelax will stop blocking roads.

Jokes aside, these officers will just be hired at another police department unless they get criminally convicted but probably won't.

Waste of money. Tesla could be using that money to implement more safety features in the vehicles, not some game everyone has.

@stevenw45

Why would they bring the Stop n' Swap system back? Rare did not put it to good use when they implemented it in the XBox 360 re-release along with Nuts n' Bolts.

Spider-Man with no powers...no thanks. I'll stick with Spider-Man Remastered on my PS5.

@sleepinglion
Did you buy RDR through Steam? In most cases, you usually get your refund from the store you bought your game from. Kind of like how you buy a product and get a refund from Wal*Mart, you would go back to Wal*Mart, not the manufacturer.

@sleepinglion Are you talking about the Grand Theft Auto Trilogy - Definitive Edition? You did not buy that from Steam. The collection is a Rockstar Game Launcher exclusive, it was never on Steam.

@sleepinglion Steam will not give a refund because the game cannot be purchased on Steam. On PC, refunds are all on Rockstar this time.

Sakurai took one step and twitched his nose! What will he do next...take another step and take a deep breathe? Perhaps he will move his index finger? We'll find out more later tonight!
