Re: Poll: Rate Your Favourite Nintendo Switch Online SNES Games

Illusion

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.

Re: Nintendo Says It Will Continue To Increase The Appeal Of The Switch Online Service

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.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (April 11th)

Illusion

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.

Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Switch Turns 3: Challenges Await, But What A Ride So Far

Illusion

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.

Re: Reminder: Four Classic SNES And NES Games Have Launched On Switch Today

Illusion

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.

Re: Talking Point: How Much Is Your Video Game Collection Really Worth To You?

Illusion

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.

Re: Talking Point: How Often Do You Make The 'Switch Sacrifice'?

Illusion

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.
