I would assume that the manufacturing costs between 720 and 1080 is minimal. 1080p for UI / Netflix would make sense to me, honestly. There will most likely be less demanding games that take advantage of this as well.

@JHDK You can stop the loop by giving the Pokémon a status condition.

@nab1 I'm really hoping for a touchscreen, just so that it can be used for a Mario Maker sequel.

This kind of stuff is very common, and it's just Nintendo covering all the bases in case these games change over time. I would say that it's safe to assume that SOME version of these games are in production right now.

@nab1 Nah, he knew they could be unclipped. He even said he had fun clipping them off and on. He just didn't put together that you could use them as controllers while they were unclipped. If I were to guess, I'd say that the stuff he knows that he can't say is stuff about the model that he noticed that didn't come up in the trailer, so he is afraid to bring up.

I've been trying to leave myself unspoiled for this game and haven't really seen anything after the E3 footage. I'm sure I'll enjoy it, and it will be great to play it on the couch off screen on the NX.

@mrchills Not too strange. When you beat the game it says that the game is dedicated in memory of him. I'm assuming he passed during development.

I love Iga so much that I can't be mad. With everything going on in 2017 with NX, I'm sure it will go by fast.

I don't dislike this game for not being the Metroid game I wanted. I just don't like mission based shooters. I don't think we have to worry about this killing the Metroid franchise. I think we will get another entry once it makes sense in Nintendo's eyes to do so. Hopefully the NX generation is that time.

@Shard1 Not everyone has internet! Let's stop making online games!

It's absolutely criminal to force us to choose just 3 of these. There were about 10 on the list that I have very fond memories of. A special shoutout to Super Ghouls 'N Ghosts since I see it has no votes yet. I absolutely love that game, but I can't put it in the top 3.

@ThanosReXXX Or a reference to farting out eggs in BK

It's interesting to see all of the people being put off by the fart noises. That kind of humor was all over BK, so it's not a surprise to see it here.

This could be amazing if done right.

I'm disturbed by the amount of people that would want SM64 and OOT remade AGAIN.

@AVahne As a person who has taken apart a Wii, they are definitely not doing this. Even the Mini requires much more power than this thing, and this has HDMI support which the Wii did not. This also looks a decent size smaller than a Wii. You can only make a Wii thinner by removing parts, as the motherboard is the same size as the Wii itself. Also it is dirt cheap to create what is essentially a raspberry pi that plays NES roms. Depending on how the emulation works, I could totally see people modding these and adding games that were not intended to be run by it.

I might have read the title the same way if I had not already seen the video. For those unaware, Awesome Games Done Quick and Summer Games Done Quick are annual events that raise money for cancer research / Doctor's Without Borders / etc. It's a week-long stream of people speedrunning games 24/7, and by donating you get entered into several raffle drawings to win some cool stuff, including games and consoles. You can also put money towards naming a save file, having the runner change the run category (100%, for example) or many other things, such as the ever present kill/save the animals war that happens every year for Super Metroid. They also have a Youtube account if you just want to wait and pick/choose the runs you want to watch and don't care about participating.

Is Tapu Koko the first Pokémon with a two part name? Most of them look pretty cool so far.

95% of my gaming is either using the gamepad or my 3ds. If they take that away in the next generation, it will definitely take a toll on how often I can play newer games.

@nab1 Unbreakable weapons will not defeat the purpose if you keep finding more powerful breakable ones. Something I can definitely see happening is them having iconic items be repairable, which will keep things interesting if they break when you're out in the wild and have to use other weapons until you make it back to a town.

As many others have said, it's basically because of the extra things that are forced to run in the background for VC games, on top of having to emulate a console that isn't natively built into the hardware. The DS is, which is why it has no issues playing DS games. I have a cart that has an extra processor inside devoted to helping run SNES/GBA, and they still kinda run like garbage.

@Yorumi It's not exactly a Gamecube game anymore once you update most of the textures and lighting, and run it at 1080p.... Also, it DOES maintain 30fps for 99% of the time, and then only dips by a few frames. You can't say it's no longer 30fps because of that. We would then have to say that a 60fps game doesn't exist because they can all be pushed under 60.

@Socar Now that you say this, I'm actually surprised that more games haven't been modded for this purpose. Especially simpler games like Mario where audio cues could be added, and the sound could be split into panning stereo.

I had no idea there was this much love for this game. I played it when it came out and just thought it was okay. I appreciated more story, but the game was way too linear for a Metroid game. One of my favorite parts of the series is seeing something that you can't get to yet, and thinking "okay, mental note... I need to come back to this later." It's no fun always knowing where to go next.

@Fazermint I doubt they were given enough money/time to make that kind of change. Blame the people funding the port, not the programmers. This was obviously the cheapest/easiest solution since very little changes had to be made to the original design.

@mariovslink62 Because there was some obvious concern as to how they would port a game made to work with two separate screens to a home console that generally uses one.

I really am surprised by all the love for this game. I remember getting it right when it came out, and being so disappointed because of the changes they made. Then when Zero Mission came out I thought "Okay, this feels like Metroid."
