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

@Erigen the best part about that is I can't tell if you're joking or not

Maybe it's a licensing thing with the songs included?

@EarthboundBenjy I bought that for however much it was and I don't think I've even booted it up.

I was reallyyyyy hoping it would be Mario Party 3 but I'll still take whatever crumbs Nintendo will give us for now.

I can't bring myself to buy any of these with that small chance of it bricking the console.

I know in most cases it's a bad power supply but still, my stock one has served me well.

@Anti-Matter Yes, you are

There are many that I haven't found surprisingly

I'm starting to understand the reasoning behind that Pokémon Presents less and less

I guarantee Mother 3 will pop up and I'm all for it.

Edit: annnnnd it's done. Hoping they might choose my Mother 3 question over the other couple million.

I've never even heard of Quake (yeah I know) but at that price I might as well.

I might as well grab Overlord Picross here

@Fizza That's what I'm getting from this announcement.

Hopefully the only reason Red/Blue aren't shown is because they're coming later.

I love these recharged games for 10 bucks on my Atari VCS

Let's Go Johto Let's Go Johto Let's Go Johto

Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee are the only Pokémon games I currently own on Switch and they're easily the best. Accurate Pokémon sizes, consistent frame rate, fun catching/shiny hunting system, and a very nice artstyle that isn't too chibi like the Sinnoh remakes.

All they need to do is to adjust the meta to make it a little more competitive and maybe let you battle wild Pokémon and it would be the perfect game, especially if you could travel back to Kanto.

Gens I, II, and III on NSO would also be appreciated. I expect a shadowdrop of Stadium 2 announced near the middle, then the final announcement is the Pokémon Red intro.

I have a few steelbooks and special games so those go on the shelf. Everything else stays either: in the drawer (PS5/Xbox games) in the Switch backpack, or burned onto the console itself (modded Wii) then stashed in the attic.

@Paulo we've already got our third party 80s hard-as-nails platformer arcade Christian projectile-based demon slaying fighter, two of them in fact but I would love a third. Probably the one character where an install Final Smash actually makes sense with Golden Armor.

I would have definitely taken a Fighter's Pass 3 with Professor Layton, Rayman, Master Chief, Paper Mario, and Sub-Zero/Scorpion.

With what Sakurai said recently on the future of the series, my hope is that Ultimate just gets more Ultimate. Add some more characters, stages and balance changes for the next system, because it is really designed as the "perfect" Smash game.

It already looks like most of the characters from the first are returning so I wonder if they all are.

Saw some Twitter post claiming that only 4-5 characters were not shown/their stage was not shown.

As long as Garfield is there I'm good. Would also like to see Goku.

This is HUGE. I haven't played Splatoon since before the pandemic and I might try and get good again just for this. If only Smash Ultimate got something like this.

I'll be buying a ton of these, especially if all of these will be at 12/13 bucks instead of 16/17.

Terry, both Clouds, Captain Falcon, anything else I'm missing for Mario Kart.

I know Rosa's rare

"Are these 'Pikmin' in the room with us right now?"

Heart attack reading this in the morning as Donkey Kong

Pikmin has lore other than weed and Olimar's kids??

Guess I'm the first one here to say it's worth it.

Superstar Saga, Banjo, the Booster Course Pass, Mario Party, Pokemon Snap, Strider, Virtua Fighter 2, a whole bunch of games (and Mario Kart) that I've put some decent hours into now.

Of course I would rather buy these games standalone but it's starting to be worth it.

I personally prefer the GBA versions, they were just what I needed!!

I was wondering what the "extra update" would be (like the custom items or the shock change) and this seems pretty insignificant, but useful.

Though I always feel like, and especially on 200cc, the Red Shell warning is extremely early, I've outrun them for half a minute and I have to check behind me constantly on when to use a super horn.

I've always wanted to eat Peach's cake 😋
