F-Zero, Super Mario World, Super Mario Kart, Link to the Past, Pilotwings, Kirby Superstar, and Star Fox, Super Punchout are such great games. Glad for the Konami and Capcom collections otherwise the SNES era would be very under represented on the Switch. Hoping Nintendo adds Earthbound, the Donkey Kong Country games, and Super Mario RPG at the very least someday. I'd love to play Illusion of Gaia and EVO Search for Eden on the go as well.
Not expecting another update until September. No idea what it'll be next time, but probably another year of okay updates whenever they feel like it. I miss monthly updates, gives you something to look forward to. That said, please bring over Star Tropics II, Earthbound, Super Mario RPG, and the Donkey Kong Country Trilogy. On top of that, I assume we'll get a gameboy emulator next because they're too afraid of 64. A monthly free game from the Switch's library would be nice, instead of one new multiplayer game every year. I'm also willing to pay more if they do more.
My wife's switch refused to turn on when she ignored it for 6 months. Had to jump start it with a portable battery because nintendo chargers and cords weren't working.
#1 for me is any Street Fighter II or Alpha game. Its a good cure for when there's too much on my mind. Just go blank and hadoken my way across the world with Ryu or Sakura.
Twice.
Link to the Past Dark World to get into the main temple in the lost woods. Use a newfound item.
Illusion of Gaia, Angel Village hidden passages. Follow the wind.
Been binging Castle Rock and Buzzfeed Unsolved with the wife the past week and will continue this weekend. Think when I get to some gametime it'll probably be poking my Playstation Classic a second time out of sheer curiousity and playing Gungeon, entering or exiting depending on my mood.
Never played the Panzer Dragoon series. Think I'll pick this up when it goes on sale since its supposed to be one of the best titles for Saturn with new graphics now. As a side note isn't Panzer Dragoon II Zwei translated into Panzer Dragoon 2 2? Why? 🤣
Not bad. Will definitely be getting Star Wars Jedi Academy and Panzer Dragoon Remake. Wondering if I'll get Good Job or the 51 game collection. Ready to wait for the E3 digital direct.
I still break out THPS3 for gamecube out every few months. Love the soundtrack and all the silly stuff I can do in it. Only in 2004 did I become really good at it and break a million on each level by finding good sweetspots to grind or gain air near endlessly. Hope the rumors are true and that it doesn't suck.
I'm curious but waiting for a price drop. Can't commit to a $100+ system when I honestly don't know how good the games are. (Didn't even know the Turbografx existed until the early 2010s due to youtube and I've been gaming since 1990 on NES.)
Everytime my coworkers spot me playing Bayonetta, Mortal Kombat 11, Doom, or one of the horror games on my Switch they ironically yell at me that Nintendo is supposed to be for children. 😋
Full sized NES preloaded with games and the ability to download more for a small fee? Yes. An NES where I need to rebuy all my cartridges my parents gave away when I was 12? No.
The Switch is the best console ever for me. I started gaming with an NES in 1990 and I cannot get over what a great experience Switch has been so far and how much more I'm sure will be offered in the next 3 years. My experience has been great with BOTW(best 3D Zelda), Mario Kart 8 Deluxe(best Mario Kart), Super Mario Odyssey(best 3D Mario), Bayonetta 1+2, Hyrule Warriors DE, Ultra Street Fighter II, Starlink, Daemon X Machina, Shovel Knight Treasure Trove, Enter the Gungeon, Death Road to Canada, Broforce, Bloodstained Curse of the Moon, Blazing Chrome, Night in the Woods, Sonic Mania, Valkyria Chronicles/4, Civilization VI, Risk, Resident Evil, Castle Crashers, Super Mario Party, Super Smash Bros Ultimate, as well as Doom 1 and 2. Looking forward to BOTW2, Bayonetta 3, and more great Switch experiences.
I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that I love that my Switch also has a bevy of Arcade games, Atari 2600, NES, SNES, Genesis, and Neogeo games. I'd like to see N64, Dreamcast, and Midway arcade games make it over eventually.
Glad other people are excited for these games. I get to save my money and try to patiently await a Nintendo Direct....or E3 if Nintendo decides to be crazy secretive.
Enter the Gungeon, Deathroad to Canada, Pokemon Go, Waverace 64, Cruisn USA, Mortal Kombat Trilogy, NFL Blitz, Starfox 64 3D, 80's Overdrive, and Master of Orion II. Should be a good one.
I enjoyed the base game, but from what they showed off of the DLC, its not worth $30 to me. If it gets amazing reviews, maybe I'll bite. Or if it gets a price cut in a few months or a year to $20 or $25.
Until something new comes out I think I'll be entertaining myself with some of the best non-repeatative games on my Switch: Enter the Gungeon, Death Road to Canada, Broforce, Bloodstained Curse of the Moon, and Blazing Chrome.
I look forward to giving these a shot today. Just hope we get Donkey Kong Country trilogy, Earthbound, Super Mario RPG, and Super Mario All Stars sometime this year.
I also hope Square puts out Illusion of Gaia/Terranigma/Soul Blazer/Actraiser 1+2/EVO Search for Eden to purchase eventually. I'd love to own those permanently and legitimately on Switch.
Replaying SNES app and similar games on Switch. (Street Fighter, Contra, Castlevania, and Megaman X collections). Trying to have a simple, fun weekend.
I actually like Eliminator Boat Duel. Willing to give Popn Twinbee and Shadow of Ninja a chance. No interest in SNES Tennis. Hoping for more frequent updates and getting some blockbuster hits like the Donkey Kong Country trilogy. Though if I get Illusion of Gaia, that's good enough for me.
Try porting Dreamcast games to Switch. Also Hang-On. Those will actually sell. I also bought a Genesis Mini and the Genesis Classics for Switch, so I'm doing my part Sega. Played the demo for Mario and Sonic. Not fun for me.
Felt I had to vote for Europe's as the best cover even though it released so many years after the other two. Honestly I think the Atari art is probably most endearing.
Maybe I'll get the Megaman Zero collection when it inevitably goes on sale. Otherwise, I'm waiting for a direct so badly. Waiting for Streets of Rage 4, AVGN 1+2, BOTW2, and Bayonetta 3.
@NEStalgia there is a single old master smith who has been entrusted upon a high mountain to individually forge the SNES controllers one at a time. Each plastic shell had been folded 1,000 times to ensure that Nintendo seal of quality means something again.
Was forced to give my NES collection away when I was 11. The console broke and my parents were like "you have super games now and the neighbor kid could use them" so I begrudgingly let them go.
When we moved houses at 16 the moving company charged by the pound and my parents convinced me my Nintendo Power Collection needed to be left behind for thr good of the family.
When the last standard definition TV left my household in 2009, my wife convinced me to sell all my SNES and Genesis games to pay down my college loans. Got $80 for Earthbound at least. I told myself one day when I was making enough money I'd at least be able to play the games on modern systems eventually.
Years later I'm an office manager and I bought an NES mini day one, SNES mini day one (took days off to stand in line outside Target in the 40F morning for three hours prior to opening), hacked them with no regrets, bought a Switch day one and have been buying games for it whenever I please. Have the Genesis, Atari, Namco, SNK, Megaman, X, Contra, Castlevania, and Konami arcade collections and a smattering of NEOGEO games. I also have a Genesis mini, Atari Flashback 8 HD Gold, the playstation mini ($25 felt right), and an X Arcade tankstick hooked up to an old computer loaded with arcade games in my man cave.
I don't regret losing my physical NES, SNES, and Genesis games, but I really wish I could get my hands on those Nintendo Power magazines again.
How much is my collection currently worth to a reseller? Probably $1,000 used with all my old consoles and games.
To me, its a source of happiness from this world we live in and I'm glad I've started buying so many little digital games since if my house just randomly burns down, I can get a new Switch and redownload most of them right away.
Going to play 198X a second time this weekend to show off the good story and amazing music to my wife. Otherwise will probably play some NES mini. Watching lots of shows and movies this weekend too.
Most big titles like Wolfenstein I wouldn't want to play portably, but I did pick up Mortal Kombat 11 and Starlink for Switch despite the graphics being better on say, my Xbox One X, because I want to be able to play Mortal Kombat 11 portably. (Starlink has all the Starfox content so, necessary.)
I also purchase quite a few smaller indie games that would be much cheaper on Steam, but I'd rather have them portably to play anywhere at anytime than be tethered to my laptop and an internet connection.
There better be. I currently have $0 planned to spend on Nintendo first party games. Feel free to confirm BOTW2, Odyssey 2, and Bayonetta 3 as well as a few surprises worth our attention for 2020.
Curious about Panzer Dragoon. The rest are not my cup of tea unfortunately. Just played through To the Moon and Red Bow. Waiting for 198X and AVGN 1+2.
