I bought thus collection physically (Japanese Import) and most of the games had English, but a few did not so I “double-dipped” for the American eShop version because Arc translated the rest of the Famicom games into English. Still a fantastic collection. Highly recommended!
@Kitchener you can do it, 10 minutes at a time, I believe in you! That said, I’d love for Oregon Trail to be ported to Switch by Hamster in their Arcade Archives series or something..
If they’ve grown so much, maybe they can finally make that sequel to one of the greatest tactical strategy games ever: Advance Wars: Dual Strike, heck port the first 4 games to Switch too (though I don’t know how the Dual Screen would be compensated for).
@Tyranexx YES it is! And that music is just inspired! More people should experience it, and I am hopeful SE will bring it over (along with the DS/3DS ports of IV - IX) since XI was received so well, and they have also recently (Nov) ported over I - III as well.
I’ve put in over 550 Hours or so and 100%ed the original quest (yes, even the Koroks, made much easier by their mask), 100%ed the DLC and have about 10% of the Master Quest finished.
@Tyranexx I really hope that SE ports DQ VIII 3DS version to Switch with upgraded visuals, the orchestral sound track from the PS2 version, all of the DLC bonus equipment and possibly a few new plot elements/side stories. It is my all time favorite JRPG.
PLEASE, PLEASE give me an Advance Wars Collection on Switch. I would love that, but don’t see how Dual Strike could work given that it was a Dual Screen game...
@LavaTwilight Well..they did get the AC Direct on February 20th Correct (along with Emily Rogers as well, btw), so maybe their second half of their rumor/leak is correct too!?
@LavaTwilight zippo/Sabi on Twitter. Apparently there were rumored 2 Directs for February. One was predicted for the 20th for A.C. (That turned out to be true, obviously), so perhaps the other is too?
@Chimera_Police that’s one reason ~why~ even when games come out for Switch like this which I am not personally excited about, I am still excited for coming to Switch 1) I am happy others get to enjoy a game they really like, also 2) it means that more copies of games selling and more Switches selling=more good games likely to release in the future on Switch, some/most hopefully I’ll enjoy. I agree with you 100%.
EVEN though I am not a big Animal Crossing fan, and hadn’t planned on getting this game (though Nintendo does have 25 minutes to convince me..), this Direct does give me hope for a General Nintendo Direct coming in the next couple weeks, because it points to rumors of two Nintendo Directs happening in February coming true.
@KryptoniteKrunch they could offer NES and SNES games at a trifle rate, if they also offered a discount to NSO members to purchase the games off that list they want permanently, individually. Then offer some or all of them individually to the general Switch audience at full price. That would be a win-win.
Nope, but it could be if they start to offer their retro games selection individually, with a discount of full purchase for Nintendo Switch Online subscribers.
@retro_player_22 oh yeah, would love Cadence (in a double pack with Crypt?). Plus I think MDHR already promised a physical for Cuphead, but I believe they are waiting until after the DLC is out.
Also Would love physical for Steamworld Dig 1 (because 2 is already out physically) and Steamworld Heist. LRG still hasn’t released their Blaster Master Zero Physics yet, either..
I don’t really care for Catherine, personally, but happy for those who like this type of game, but I am very exited about the X-Com 2 Collection possibly coming to Switch!
FYI: NintendoEverything is reporting that this game has been delayed due to the Conronavirus and that a Physical Cartridge will now be included in the box and not just a download code.
@sixrings Its almost like the license holders don’t like money, they’d sell a million copies easy across Switch, PS4, XBOne, Steam, probably a lot more..
@GamingFan4Lyf RIGHT!? I’d love for Hamster, M2, Konami, Viacom and whoever else is necessary to actually create a collection of TMNT NES/SNES/Gen/Arcade titles released on Switch.
@Zuljaras same, and for the same reasons. Though if a game releases digital only, I am not averse tombuying it, personally and I have been known to double-dip when initial digital releases get a physical X).
@AnotherGoblin As long as one could download (and keep on their system forever-we’ll as long as that Console still functions and/or its still listed on the online shop servers), in addition to streaming the game.
@BenAV exactly-that’s what I’m most upset about the Byleth pick about, I and millions of others paid good money for a glorified advertisement rather than a fan favorite.
@Nintyfan that’s your opinion, I disagree. Halo (most of them) are revered classics and would be a welcome fit on Switch, which lacks that type of game (compared to what we have now). It could be goodwill to share with MS, maybe after that they’d share Rare Replay and a new Banjo too?..
@Nintyfan Yeah they are light on content. We know very few 1st party games. And most of the 3rd party we know of right now is either niche Japanese, Indy or Shovelware/mobile ports.

@Manah I have a case for 80 games bought on Amazon. Works great.

@RupeeClock xeodrifter, really, from whom?
Re: Super Rare Games Has 18 Switch Games In The Works, And 'Secret Projects' Too
@Ste there is a Japanese Physical release of Okami already, and it’s fully in English, if you’re keen to import.
Re: Surprise! First-Person Shooter Warface Is Now Available On Switch For Free

@Shiryu yes, now it just needs CoD..

Re: PlatinumGames Unsure Astral Chain Will Remain Exclusive To Switch, Ultimately It's "Nintendo's Call"
@YANDMAN if Halo TMCC can run on X360, then why not Switch?
Plus if they want they could include 1-3 and ODST on a Cart, then Reach and 4 as D/L in which they could fix those issues.
Re: PlatinumGames Unsure Astral Chain Will Remain Exclusive To Switch, Ultimately It's "Nintendo's Call"
Nintendo should trade exclusive of this to Microsoft in exchange for Halo: The Master Chief Collection on Switch.
Re: Nintendo Raises Annual Switch Sales Forecast After Stronger-Than-Expected Nine Months
