I’ll buy an N64 controller but seems wrong to charge more for a service that might be cheaper than Sony’s & Microsoft’s online fees, but it woefully under supported for a few more old games & to endure the drip feeding of additional titles. This should have been included in the standard online service.
Why is it only a three button Megadrive controller? Are they either not going to release any six button Megadrive games or expect you to buy a new controller when they eventually do?
@2ukaskew I too ordered if from Shopto, hasn't arrived today either, Royal Mail tracking states they are going to delivered tomorrow, no idea where the Joy Cons I ordered from them are either. Amazon though won't deliver my Loftwing amiibo because it was damaged before being sent & they dont have anymore.
Mine is the gold Twilight Princess Link on Epona statue. I was able to get quite a few rewards over the years, Pokemon Box on Gamecube, Game & Watch Ball, Game & Watch collection on DS, a ton of soundtracks, Luigis's Mansion statue. Recently I got the Japanese gold Mario platinum member reward.
More than an hour later & pre-orders are still available so either the one per household has stemmed the bulk orders or Nintendo has a lot of stock, both are a good thing.
They should do a wearable, light up PVC model & they could do a line of variations such as Dark Samus & Light Suit. Seems a bit of a missed opportunity if its just a solid resin helmet. Still tempted as I own the standing Varia Suit, Light Suit , Zero Suit & original Varia Suit statues.
Disappointed, but every time a Direct is announced everyone makes wild assumptions to what is going to be announced. I'm excited for Skyward Sword, a game I already own & was hoping for Metroid prime another game I already own.
Nintendo should be exciting us with new games & new ip’s & the rereleases should be the filling in the months whilst we wait, instead we wait for rereleases (that we can play now, just not on Switch) & don’t get any new games or ip’s.
Its crazy to see physical retro game prices continue to rise when access to emulators, everdrives, SD console mods, compilations, re releases & digital makes playing those games easier & cheaper, but I guess people aren't satisfied until they own the original artifact.
I hope a real first party Direct is due soon, this year looks bleaker for Nintendo fans as weeks pass & speculation gets desperate & grasps at any chance for something.
Seriously looking like Nintendo doesn't have much coming this year & is desperate for content, the year when both Sony & Microsoft have new consoles & new games.
@bobzbulder as much as I want to believe, I think alot of these "leakers" are guessing/speculating. It would be the same as me saying theres a Zelda HD Trilogy due because Breath of the Wild 2 has been delayed. If the Metroid Prime Trilogy was done, i speculate Nintendo would've released it as planned as it would've been factored into their fiscal earnings.
Part of me feels the Mario Collection is like the long rumored Metroid Prime HD Collection. Something that sounds feasible, with lots of "insiders" saying its ready to be announced during the next Direct & where is my Metroid Prime collection?

Got my pre-order in, didn't think we were going to get them in the UK, I didn't think end of March literally meant the end of March.

@TheFrenchiestFry You should see the themes you can use when using custom firmware, they use smaller game icons.
