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!!!

Wii U GamePad = Greatest Controller Ever Made

I still contend that the Wii U Gamepad was the best controller ever released. It was incredibly comfortable (for me) and I liked the placement of the analog sticks.

Also, I really wish Nintendo would release a dedicated home console again. I don't care if it's portable or not.

I do recognize I'm in the minority with these opinions.

I seem to remember the push for everything to go digital the past decade or more and physical media being blasted as no longer viable, wanted, or needed by a large segment of gamers. Well, here we are, realizing exactly how monotone that narrative has been. Games as a service is going to ruin gaming when viewed with even a little foresight. When developers start releasing complete games again, we will start to see the light at the end of this “rental” tunnel we are in with digital distribution.

Shinobi (like the ones on Genesis/MegaDrive)
Ninja Gaiden
Baseball Stars
Kid Icarus
Earthbound (Mother)
Final Fight
Another World/Out of this World (Heart of the Alien)
Altered Beast
Golden Axe
Actraiser
Demon's Crest
Shadowrun
Bonk's Adventure
Contra (not that new thing)
Dune 2/2000 (RTS)

I'm just going to come right out and say it:

I like Metroid: Other M

The biggest Joy-con problem is that there aren't NES and SNES color variants.

Does it mess with anyone else that these controllers are essentially "right handed" but Link held the sword in his left hand in some games?

What this tells me is...it's too bad all of those people whined and cried about the Wii U and it's name, and blah blah blah. It was a really good system with some incredible games. People just bailed on it for some crazy reason and are only now realizing what some of us have known for years. The Wii U Gamepad was extremely comfortable to use, and I had an absolute blast playing it from when I bought it on release day until even today when I was playing some Virtual Console games.

Wii U warriors...unite!

I've never been into grinding for experience or for turn based RPGs. I understand the strategy component but I dislike giving a command and not actually having control over the outcome. In Mario games, pushing the jump button always results in what I intended. Any errors are my own fault and not that of what the computer code decides.

Unpopular opinion:

The Wii U gamepad was the most comfortable controller I've ever used. Switch Pro Controller is a distant 2nd.

It’s an effective strategy to get people to double dip.

I would LOVE a new Maniac Mansion game.

I want someone to turn a Wii U game pad into a full fledged GBA. For hands my size, that is still the most comfortable controller I’ve ever used.

I stripped my island of absolutely everything, took away all streams and ponds, tore down all of the hills and removed all trees and flowers. Once I did that and restarted with just a few flowers and trees, the game became significantly less stressful.

I did all of that back in June.

While this is incredibly impressive, it just reminds me how visually unappealing Minecraft is to me.

A better campaign would be #deletefortnite
