Re: Soapbox: Why Can't Nintendo Offer Both Virtual Console And Switch Online?

Illusion

I'm fine to pay an annual subscription for old games on my Switch, but I dread when they shut it down or remove games from the service only to drip feed it onto the Switch 2 all over again or even not at all if deals with 3rd parties can't be renewed. I don't mind buying compilations from Konami, Capcom, and Namco either, as long as I don't lose access to the games arbitrarily one day I'll be happy. I also still have my 3DS and WiiU tucked away with a few select virtual console titles that still haven't made it over to Switch.

Re: Nintendo's American Branch Didn't Like The Idea Of GameCube Being Purple

Illusion

I was 13 and my brother was 15 when the gamecube came out. The purple one looked like a kid's toy. We got a black one with an extra orange controller with Rogue Squadron II and Tony Hawk 3 as our launch games. We didn't need the kiddie Luigi's Mansion. (We were die hard Nintendo fans, but were worried we were aging out of it. Still hasn't happened.)

Re: How To Fix Your Nintendo Switch When It Won't Turn On Or Charge

Illusion

@Dean_rodwell portable batteries and regular USB cords try to dump more power into the Switch than the Nintendo brand dock or USB cords. Just hook it up and push power and it should start up. I let it sit there for an hour, then moved it to dock to charge overnight. Worked for me at least, no guarantees.

Re: Nintendo Expands Its Switch Online SNES Service With Three More Titles

Illusion

Gee it'd be nice to get Strike Gunner STG, Jackal, Earthbound Beginnings, Earthbound, Illusion of Gaia, Terranigma, Secret of Evermore, Actraiser, Actraiser II, Soul Blazer, Sim City, Wings 2, Carrier Aces, Zoda's Revenge Star Tropics II, Super Mario RPG, EVO Search for Eden, Air Fortress, or even Gameboy or 64 games, but I understand I should just be happy they secured the rights for these for mere pennies. Good move.

Re: The LEGO Nintendo Entertainment System Is Now Available For Purchase

Illusion

I like Lego and enjoyed quite a few things they put out. (The Lego Star Wars and City advent calenders I particularly enjoyed) but I just can't spend the money for this one, but that's okay. I'm sure it will be a limited run and everyone will be sold to a good home. (Probably a few hundred to ebay, but such is life.) I can play my NES classic and watch the youtube trailer for this set and be just as happy, then spend an equal amount of money on videogames.

Re: Anniversary: EarthBound Turns 25 In The USA, And A Whole Generation Feels Old

Illusion

My dad picked this up used at Target in 2000 for less than $20. Fun game, had read about it in Nintendo Power. Got it on WiiU then sold it for $80 in 2013 to a used game store. The clerk was incredulous that I wanted to sell it to his store when I could set up an ebay account and a paypal and make $120 in a week. I wanted novelty gaming candy, energy drinks, and Magic the Gathering cards that day though. Lol. Have it on SNES classic now so, I even have the full experience of the SNES controller again.
