I had this on PS3 and really enjoyed. For some reason, however, I don't remember it looking as bad as it does in the Direct trailer.

His pronunciation of Ocarina is quite different from what I'm used to. Always interesting to hear differences in dialects from around the world.

Ziggurat Interactive should work with Limited Run Games to make a physical SNES version of Rendering Ranger.

I have never played a Pokemon game. I never caught my attention when the first ones came out on Gameboy.

I swear I remember playing a game in the arcades when I was a kid but cannot find any proof that it existed:

Super Ms. Pac-man

Did I dream that game up?

Never played Chrono Trigger. Turn-based RPGs have never been enjoyable to me.

The video game industry as a whole was down big time this year (as far as my interests are concerned). With that said, Metroid Dread was absolutely fantastic and by far the most memorable gaming experience of the year for me.

2021 is Metroid Dread.
2022 is The Legend of Zelda fill in the blank
2023 is Metroid Prime 4
2025 is Super Mario fill in the blank

There. I finished my voting for the next few years.

A better question (referring to the article title) is if Nintendo should allow us to purchase the games outright a la Virtual Console.

@victordamazio if I write an article/column/essay/song/review/etc., then someone else copies it and submits it elsewhere as something they did, it is plagiarism/theft. The code for a game is written thus I consider breaking down the coding and copying it theft.

I hate this. It seems like it's blatant theft.

I would 100% buy a North American physical re-release of Battletoads for NES…or a physical release on Switch.

Got my email this morning. They are stating that systems will be delivered between December 14 and December 30 with an option for people to hold off until January 3 to have theirs ship if they will be gone during the initial delivery window.

The Taito game I want the most - in original form and also a modern 2D (NOT 2.5D) update - is Rastan.

Will there be a physical release of this for Switch?

I just played through Other M again last week and enjoyed it.

I'd be happy just to get my Analogue Pocket order next month. I still have a suspicion that it's not going to get to customers in 2021.

Pretty sure her death animation in Super Metroid was originally supposed to be nude but became a bikini instead.

I have to be honest…I really enjoyed 3D gaming and miss it. I wanted more of the 3D NES Classics as well.

I’ve been stuck trying to beat Raven Beak for seven days and I’m simply going to give up. This boss is impossible for me to beat and has completely ruined my enjoyment of the game. After four hours worth of attempts today alone, I’m done. The higher tier valkyries in God of War were the same and made me quit that game too.

@Crono1973 You're absolutely right! It IS exciting that all styles of games are available to play on my modern gaming hardware.

It is every bit a classic Metroid in every way.

I have tried and tried and tried to get into Smash games since the very first one but I simply do not enjoy them. I have enjoyed collecting the Amiibos more than playing the games.

Let's not forget that, even in the unfortunate event of an untimely demise, most of our employers will be looking to find our replacement before any of us have even been laid to rest. Business is business and, sadly, most only concern themselves with the people who are there, not the ones who no longer are...regardless of the reasons.

Just use your teeth to open it...but don't lick the cartridge because they taste horrible.

I got the digital downloads with mine that included multiple sizes of the same wallpaper and only five of the music tracks.

I guess they couldn't afford Ryan Reynolds so they just decided to get the poor knock off version in Chris Pratt.

YYYYYYEEEEEESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!

Hopefully this can drum up enough interest for a legit sequel!

What I got from the article is this:

Valve tried to copy the Wii U Gamepad. That thing was the best and most comfortable controller for me, hands down.

Jeremy Parish works for Limited Run Games so it should come as no surprise that they will sell his books.

Dear Capcom,
Here is what I would like more of:

Magic Sword
Mega Man
Knights of the Round
Demon’s Crest
Final Fight
Saturday Night Slam Masters
U.N. Squadron
Ghoul’s ‘n Ghosts
Magical Quest
King of Dragons

I never play the Switch in handheld mode so there is no incentive for me to upgrade from my launch model.

I feel like Other M is only "bad" because of the echo chamber effect of the internet. If we weren't all reading each others comments, I would guess that a significantly larger number of people would have enjoyed it more not knowing a few loudly negative options about it existed.

In all honestly, I played it before I ever read comments about anything and found it largely enjoyable at the time. It is, however, definitely not the Halloween III: Season of the Witch that many try to make it out to be.

If Nintendo gave it a bumpin hip hop soundtrack, online multiplayer and DLC skin packs, as well as a carjacking/robbery system, it would probably be extremely popular. However, all of those things are also what I despise the most about modern gaming.

Jeremy Parish did this for FanGamer several years ago.

Joy-Cons only or is the update for the Pro Controller also?

Has anyone decoded the password generator to determine what each character means and how many combinations (permutations?) could be possible and made a list? It would be interested to mess around with, kind of like a Game Genie.

Dead Space would be cool. I’d also be excited if it were:

Skate or Die
Wing Commander
Populous
Dune 2000

I never undock my Switch. I’d be thoroughly happy if they give an option for a fully loaded home console edition that can play switch carts.

Bring back the Mother Brain!

This game needs a resurrected Mother Brain!

Playstation 5, you say. Isn't that one of those eBay exclusive consoles?

Mother Brain gets resurrected...

...that will be the only fitting conclusion to this storyline.

Demise will be the main antagonist.
The sound effect of Link passing up through solid rock had similarities to sound effects in Twilight Princess' Twilight Realm.
Clearly Loftwings will be in this game.

Link gets a Samus Aran arm cannon? Awesome!

SNES cartridges!

I would happily buy new SNES carts if Nintendo and other companies would reproduce them and sell them at a reasonable price.

I hope Nintendo releases multiple SKUs of Switch, one of which is a dedicated home device. For me, a new portable version would need to be significantly more comfortable to hold than the regular and Lite models.

Simon Belmont is the one that matters to the most to me.

I can’t ever see myself paying more than $150 for one of these. Unless licensing fees are in the tens of millions, there is absolutely no justifiable reason these should cost anywhere close to as much as they do. The parts needed to DIY one at home can be obtained for about $50 to $60.

Can't wait for my Analogue Pocket order to arrive. Not expecting it this year at all with the chip shortage but it will still be a day I take off work.

If Nintendo Re-Released the Virtual Boy console I would buy it instantly!!!
