VC's top games just being hyper-popular game is part of the reason why we don't have VC anymore. Why bother with Virtual Console, when you can just put your most popular games on a new service (with some niche ones, like Winback, in there as well).

@HistoricKombat I feel like since it is a service, the problems arise there.

@Dev9417 Well blame Square for why we haven't seen Mario RPG yet (and probably never will)

@ChessboardMan Or do nothing at all. What have they done, really?

@Samurai_Goroh Nothing ever seemed to work until the Wii (and then they made the Wii underpowered, cutting off third parties)

@King47 Nowhere I guess

@veeflames I guess they did nothing with PUX

Soooo what have they used PUX for?
Edit: I know that I am replying to a decade old article. No shame in that

Just remember how Sony ruined Soul Caliber. They were so angry that the Gamecube version sold better than the PS2 version, that they bought out the rights to Soul Caliber 3 (a move that would eventually ruin the sales of Soul Caliber).

Now they moan when other companies (aka Microsoft) does similar. Doing it is scummy, but nobody should try to pull out a holy card.

In the manga, the Jigglypuff thing could speak.

@PinderSchloss Well are you a story guy or not? If not, then imagine where a yes button would be for a game, and recall it would be no different for Japan.

@DAHstroy I know

@Octane You are both assuming the pricing. It could be $20, it could be $30, or it could be $25.

@DAHstroy "Of course, this is Nintendo's first $70 game"

From the modern era. The NES games costed $60 (before inflation), but SNES and N64 games costed $70. This was before America decided on a set price point (Japan hasn't and probably never will have a set price point, with games like Scarlet and Violet being $37-$42 USD)

As for TOTK, I am probably not picking it up for awhile, but I think it will probably be worth $70. If you don't want it, don't buy it, and if you want it, buy it.

@PinderSchloss First, they are RPG's. Second, if you want to play these games, change your Nintendo Switch's location to Japan.

@PinderSchloss The exact same thing happened with Breath of the Wild. Little was known until it was very close to release, there was DLC announced before the game came out, and it costed $70 everywhere except in America. Now that it will cost $70 in America, Americans now have a problem with the cost of the game.

@WiiWouldLikeToPlay Metroid Prime Remastered didn't even get a full week, so 7k (especially for Metroid) is impressive.

@Bigmanfan Metroid was never popular in Japan, so it is a shock it even hit Top 10.

Not only do we get 3 possible games, but we can choose what we want. A very pro-consumer move.

@Browny 99%? That high? Is there any reason for it being that high?

@Browny Rough. Although, it would make more sense to just go to the store anyways. It can't be sold out if its not being sold at the moment.

How is ROB first? He was a nice novelty, but he was still a novelty.

I feel like its because Nintendo constantly does sales on digital first-party games

@Madao Would you complain if your wage increased by 10%, but 1 thing is going up in price?

Nice going Nintendo, this is something that nobody should argue about.

@The-Chosen-one Nothing else at the moment.

@EriXz Would you rather Nintendo not raise prices of a few games of their games, while getting rid of 10% of their employees

or

Would you rather them raise the wages by 10% for their employees, but some games cost more

Yesss, that was so cool.

Drift is inevitable (my 3ds and Wii Nunchuck suffers from it), the Switch just has a poor immune system. Its annoying for sure, but there are many options to fix/go around the issue. Doesn't excuse it, but its not unfixable.
Suing Nintendo for something that has happened in the entire industry since the mid 90's while using children is just not a good idea. Instead of suing Nintendo, try to reach a settlement where they promise that in future, they will make it so that Joycon's stop drifting frequently.

@PipeGuy64Bit Different one
They started offering repairs in 2018 I think

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika I remember going through your profile likes, and you shared a lot of things with James likes, which ended up confusing me (even though I knew you weren't him)

@HotGoomba Is Splatoon considered live service?

Cmon' Nintendo Life, that was a corny joke.

@ComfyAko Obviously there is that, but if Platinum optimizes MGR, then it will easily run on Switch

@Vil Ok, but for the 2D Mario game, it better not be a New Super 2D Mario if they do a new 2D game, otherwise I'll just want all 4 New Super games on Switch.

@Grumblevolcano How about just a new Star Fox instead? We have one on Switch (sorta), but people refuse to play it because of "Toys to Life" (even after that was removed), which is a shame.

Star Fox Assault wasn't good.

@ComfyAko Its a PS3 game, the Switch can handle it

3rd game in the series or a rerelease (or neither)?

@Dom_31 "We are in Nintendo's debt for their partnership and Bayonetta 3"

"Anyways, lets put the rerelease on everything but the Switch."

@Vil We got Bowsers Fury in 2021, so that should be fine (be honest, we aren't getting a new Mario platformer until the next console comes out, because thats stupid to have the next game on Switch)

Just like Reggie. Left, but still acting like they are at Nintendo (but they are better than Reggie)

@Mando44646 Because they have a sweet deal going on with GameFreak/Creatures, and they don't want to ruin it, because even if they try to tell GameFreak to halt, GameFreak and Creatures can just say no, because they actually work on Pokemon, and they have the biggest combined stake.

@ModdedInkling So does GameFreak and Creatures, who both work on Pokemon with a higher combined stake. They outpower Nintendo.

At least they aren't changing interface with the next console unlike over what they did with the old EShops

@tee-cup Then instead of moaning about no music, say you want a cart feature. Simple

The series that didn't make Wario too "gassy"
I said too for a reason

@IronMan30 Also that Selects were rolled out at the end of the Wii's/Wii U's life when they were selling poorly, and people hated how it used a different color, so there is that to.

"Where are vouchers? Nintendo doesn't care about us and just wants us to pay full price on games that still sell numbers."
"Where are Nintendo Selects? Vouchers are not enough. Nintendo just wants us to pay full price on games that still sell numbers."

I'm only buying if they have the Crying Lions

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika Its just grander Minecraft
Play Winback instead. Only game with the Crying Lions
