Sakurai needs to be done with smash. I love the guy but one of Nintendo's biggest franchises cannot be reliant on one man.

Hopefully they just let him do his own thing. Actually, it would be cool to see Sakurai make games outside of Nintendo.

Merry Christmas! Hopefully the weather is better for y'all than where I'm at (rain rain and more rain)

I like how there's consistently like a dozen 2DS systems sold every week in Japan

I mean, I'm fine if they're not on a cart as long as it isn't a code. If I can take my cart and put it in my other Switch and still play all the games I'm good.

So excited, maybe they'll give us a little more than a few spirits...

@Sisilly_G Even though there aren't any in this update, apparently they are adding more interviews and art to the timeline in later updates. I expect that to be a pretty large update.

Like some other people said, I'm fine owning games digitally!

But putting a code in a box defeats why I collect physical games. My switch could get smashed and replaced, the servers could shut down, but I'd still have my physical games. Nothing stuck on a console or an account.

Yes I'll buy digital games, I'm a sucker for Capcom, SNK, and Bandai Namco sales, but those games are cheap! I can pay $5 for the Street Fighter collection and not feel bad if I eventually lose that purchase somehow. But for full priced games, I try to stay physical.

More stable than my life rn

Maximilian Dood also got one as well, another fighting game content creator...

Virtua Fighter 6 Virtua Fighter 6 Virtua Fighter 6 🤞🤞🤞

@DanElectrode Or NBA Jam!

I just want Smash 64

Oh dang, I was going to wait for Play Asia to eventually put the physical copies on sale but I didn't realize it was only 20 bucks... that's a fantastic deal and I can use my CD pad on the Switch version.

@HalBailman How about 200cc?

Honestly, I am very excited for this. I really liked Detective Pikachu and seeing everything in "live-action." I liked the Mario Movie too, but man seeing Link in a cinematic movie will be so cool.

@Poodlestargenerica tbf, what else COULD you change about a rhythm game? They also did make those two RPGs so they're not just pumping out games.

25/25 😔 I just really like Smash Ultimate guys I swear aha

As good as it looks I can't justify 60 bucks for an SNES remake with not much extra content. I'll just finally start playing through it on my SNES mini.

This sounds fantastic considering I was just planning on buying a VCS this Black Friday. Digital Eclipse has always made bundles of old games something special.

@HammerKirby Well, Dante is a Mii Fighter, and while that doesn't necessarily mean it couldn't be him, they have done something similar before by dropping a Heihachi Mii Fighter in FP1 then Kazuya as an actual fighter in FP2.

@LadyCharlie Also the Mario Party mode from Wii U. Then it's the perfect game.

I love Ultimate, so at this point I can see them do one of two things: "reboot" the series with a much smaller roster, a more defined story, and only feature Nintendo characters, or they just port Ultimate with a few more popular characters, stages and spirits.

I would prefer the latter. Get us up to 100 characters, Rayman, Vergil (to continue Vergil being only in final editions lol), Geno, Waluigi, Master Chief, and whoever else deserves to be in. Make Ultimate more Ultimate.

Or they could give us Melee with online...

I've been using my 8bitdo NeoGeo CD controller. The thumbpad is perfect for 2d games.

@MH4 I agree, I bought the first day 1 for $40 and the dlc for $12. Now the Gold Edition is $5. I'll stick with the first until 2 gets Gold.

Rollback when??

I loved using mine as a secondary portable for a while. They were selling them new/refurbished for 40-60 bucks at some point, it was a really cool, stripped down and cheap way to play a ton of cool games.

How was this NOT called "the Fungus Among Us"

I buy Japanese gift cards with an Amazon Japan account. Straight to my email in seconds, and no upcharge.

I have a huge backlog of games but whenever I just need a break from keeping up with modern releases, I always find myself going back to new Mario Galaxy 1 & 2 save files.

There's something about the Galaxies that just feels right. They give you a lot of options of which levels to play, but the easy, calm, floaty space game is what I go back to often. (Still waiting on Galaxy 2 on Switch)

I hated botw and just got this because I got a good deal on it and I actually love it

@mr_benn Is it weird that I prefer the clunkiness of this one more? Just more Lego-y to me than all those custom round pieces.

@Not_Soos Or Pikmin 2.7 Final Mix

That quick rundown on the story is hilarious to me because I can imagine (and I know nothing about the game so it might be terrible) the game doing really well because people are actually liking it and Nintendo's just like "we CANNOT let people get used to this level of quality" and they just completely kill it.

Looks pretty neat though and I'm glad obscure stuff like this is continuing to be archived. Gotta read more on it.

@Tirza Could always just change your button inputs in the Switch settings.

It does kinda make since considering there are many games that would come out on the Switch if it was more powerful.

So is this a preorder bonus or a day 1 in-store purchase bonus? Confused on how Target does these.

I'm learning how to use inside drift in 8DX now for the full MKWii Funky experience. I'm still finding myself flick back my wheel to wheelie on straightaways.

I am SO looking forward to Funky Kong.

Still sad there wasn't a mention of Metal Slug Tactics tho...

I thought it was Super Paper Mario at first. Dang.

FUNKY LET'S GOOOOO

I'm hoping for Metal Slug Tactics, Sora amiibo, and Funky Kong in MK8.

I haven't even watched the video yet I've been listening to the Psycho Soldier theme a ton recently. I've been appreciating just how much it sounds like the arcade/cassette version and it looks like that's what he's talking about here.

@Serpenterror Some of these are already on the Japanese NSO. At least I think they are, because my Japanese versions of the apps aren't updating, which makes me think they are already on there.

Dang we're really at the end of the Switch huh

I just got DE's SNK 40th Collection for $20 and I'm loving it. Great games and it even has a timeline/slideshow of SNK's early history (not nearly as interactable but still cool nevertheless). I'll pick up Atari 50 when I eventually get the VCS and I'll probably pick this one up too.

@BTB20 The colors of the console already exist, so all they would have to do is take their existing stock and add graphics.

I thought this was a parody article when I saw the headline and I chuckled. That's actually funny that he straight up has no clue what it is either.

The crossovers this game has had is insane. Tomb Raider, Final Fantasy VII, Spongebob, and now BTTF.

Even if this doesn't come to the west, I have a Japanese Nintendo account and a Japanese Amazon account so I can buy yen cards.

Hoping it does though, just to make things a little easier.

Even though I would prefer normal online, a Mario MMO is kinda sick.

Loving the Pink on Mario
