My DS fat still does and it's in good shape

I'd love to see the Bomberman Collection getting more love

My whole experience with Pokémon has been like this: start playing the game --> enjoy it --> focus on capturing and expanding the pokedex --> beat the game --> forget 95% of Pokemon's names. Although I've played a bunch of games, I'm not even gonna try taking this quiz. That'd be humiliating

I've had four different machines/models, but my favorite one is my old 3DS XL (blue). I admit the image looks much better on the smaller screen of an old regular-size 3DS, but i hate hearing it creaking. It feels so fragile that I avoid using my old Aqua Blue 3DS

One more incredible announcement!!!!!!!!
I just love these retro collections!

@NTELLIGENTMAN I still regret having spent money to rent LJN's Wolverine. Multiple times. And never being able to make any progress LOL

Any news about fixing the save game issue? I'm waiting for it and won't buy this collection (as much as I want to) if they don't address this

I've decided to comment less recently, and my next step will probably be read comments less and less. I learned a lot in this comment section from people making constructive comments (which includes criticism, for crying out loud!), but now the us x them here seems to be swallowing every possible discussion. It's a pain! For some people, if Nintendo does something, it's all good and acceptable. Can't stand it

No way! The price point is ridiculous in my view

I'm waiting for a patch before I buy this game, and i don't mean the soundtrack. I'm talking about bad bugs. I hope they fix them because both the character and us fans deserve that!

They're giving us the "opportunity" to pay $100 for the device, but if we wanna use it properly (that is, play games), we have to subscribe to a service. That's a no for a me

Been having a lot of fun with this collection on my Oled. For a single player like me, there's tons and tons of content and many extras as a result of the usual care Konami has been pouring in their recent collections.

I was really surprised (in the best possible way) with this game being launched. My GOTY so far

@EarthboundBenjy Maaaaannnnn!!!! What kind of devilish response is that???
Maybe they've assessed their image and concluded that gamers' opinions on Ubisoft aren't as bad as it could be, so they've decided to start doing worse!!!! I can't believe that!!!!

@HalfAWorldAway an you know, they could have all kinds of problems and still get back to their feet with gamers' support, but as you said, they lost the community's support. All their other problems can't be compared to this one, which is the critical point

well, maybe something they that was in the batch of projects they canceled recently could have yielded something good, too, but you know.... Ubisoft was just like Ubisoft.... Now they're acting all strange praising a game's sales performance... That's quite off of them

@Lizuka Maybe that was their passive-agressive way of saying: no actual story mode for you! And that's really sad, unfortunately

@ozwally Same here. Battle League was a landmark for me, but in a very bad way. From that point on, Nintendo sports games for me will be a no if they follow that trend, which they're confirming now with Fever

@Res462 @stevep not only the 5fps in 3d sections but also the high difficulty and the repetition....

Unfortunately experiences like Battle League and this new Mario Tennis were far from being the norm years ago, but now they seem to be the direction the industry is heading toward, which is a real shame in my opinion. This leads me to buy fewer to none Nintendo sports games. S2 MT's pricepoint makes zero sense to me

@Don To play the NSO apps, you need to have your subscription checked from time to time so I guess you'll have to go online and update the app at some point

@GameOtaku I guess the only justification they can offer is "we want people to move from the OG Switch to the Switch 2. If you want to play these games, buy a S2."
And I hate it!

Whoa, that's a bunch of 32-bit games. Although Ì'm not familiar with these titles, it's good to know there'll be some variety beyond NES and (probably) SNES and Genesis games

@sketchturner it's much more welcoming for replays than Silksong. At least, that's the feeling I kept after playing Silksong

@no_donatello I guess the challenges in developing games for the console may prevent us from getting more ports of Saturn games? There are a lot of fan favorites that haven't been released anywhere....

@rvcolem1 Ok, so your comfort lies in Switch owners not getting any more releases? That's curious

@HammerGalladeBro ah, man.... So a Goemon collection was announced in Japan?
I'd love to have an official release on this side of the world of the other SNES games and maybe the great GBC games too, all of them localized for sure. I've played the fan-translated versions, but an official collection with some extras would be awesome!!!
Given the silence about it in our direct, it just won't happen here, unfortunately

That's a great addition!
I still keep waiting for my all time favorite soundtrack: Super Metroid. Even Metroid 2 is on the app now for crying out loud

Back in the day, Friday the 13th was brutal. In every aspect. So it's got to be it

A great collection that gets even better with the addition of two great games. The more the merrier. Looking forward to it

Whatever the increase is, given all the recent negativity around Ubisoft, $1 will be one more reason to get people fired up (in a bad way)

Keep giving gamers what they don't want and haven't asked for. Keep doing it and let's see what comes out of it...

@Kraven Not embarrassing at all. I say we should consider it time saved

The November/December data is enough to generate hundreds of "I told you it's doomed" videos but not enough to make a fair assessment of the state of things. We'll have to wait for 2026 and maybe 2027 to have a more solid window with more data to analyze

Meanwhile, play your games and have fun!

I hope all the management (?) changes that have been taking place at Limited Run don't harm the game's release in any way. I'm really looking forward to it

A IV-V-VI collection maybe??

@Burning_Spear Oh, I know this feeling. And it's such a bitter taste in my mouth when my time off is over and I have played anything "proper". When life is rough, there's not much I can't do, as there's no way to concentrate and play a game the way it should be done but, in general, this is the time to play some retro stuff. Last week I turned on my snes mini and started playing a bunch of games. Some of them I quit after a few minutes, but some of them sparked the motivation I needed and played them to the end. Not always the SNES for me but always a retro library in this case for me

I'll be on holiday until the 11th, so it's time to play a lot of games.

For the past few days, I've played and completed Super Bomberman, Demon's Crest and Legend of the Mystical Ninja (aka Ganbare Goemon 1) (SNES).

This weekend and next week I'll be playing:

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond (Switch)
Kaze and the Wild Masks (Switch)
Astro Bot (PS5)
Super Ghouls and Ghosts (SNES)
Super Star Wars (SNES)
The Great Circus Mystery (SNES)
The Return of the Ninja Warriors (Switch)
Picross S Capcom Edition (Switch)

Some of them I'm halfway through, others I'm starting, and there's always a Picross puzzle here and there between games

Wonderful doc. Watched it twice

Edit: checked the number of views now and it's still awfully low given the quality of the material

I was playing Mega Man 9 handheld yesterday and it's not exactly a nightmare, but it's not as good as a proper d pad. That's why when paying docked i prefer the pro controller or one of my 8bitdos

@LikelySatan @GrailUK Since BOTW came out, people tend to say everything is based on it, as though it came out of nowhere, without any reference, like God Almighty creating everything LOL
I wouldn't be surprised if someone said OoT was based on BotW, although I know it makes no sense.

I just need to repeat that every year that goes by, it feels like OoT is getting more and more overlooked, especially by those who weren't around when or around the time it came out

@Robot99 And the quality of answers is appaling

My picks of the year:

• Metroid Prime 4
• Hollow Knight Silksong
• Pipistrello

I'd include Xenoblade X, but I haven't completed it so far

My limited knowledge of Japanese only allows me to recognize the "ten" part LOL
But the Pikmin thing is really cool

@HernandeZzz the difficulty is fair. Not a piece of cake, not hard as nails. It's a great game, in my opinion, really really well made

@Max_the_German Yeah, probably. They'll say 6 million copies in all these years just can't justify any future releases and cancel the franchise LOL

we're joking, and this is Final Fantasy we're talking about, but considering what we've been seeing recently, we just can't say it's impossible

@SBandy1 I have a question about these MKW's numbers: isn't the copy that comes in the bundle digital? These sales figures only include physical copies, so there are a lot of people buying physical copies of MKW?

@Serpenterror Talk about a hefty collection! i only know some of the games you listed across different systems, but judging by the ones I know, an X-Men collection would be great!

I have fond memories of the North American cover, from a time when I was obsessed with Mega Man

@Dman10 @Dr_Corndog What I meant was that assuming that a specific language localization isn't newsworthy is culture bias. It's the reproduction of the colonizer's view. That's what I meant.
Having culture bias doesn't make anyone the bad guy. It's not something that's always intended by the individual (i know, it is by some). It's highly likely something one does without even thinking, just like countless stereotypes that we reproduce day after day, me included. I didn't mean to say anything offensive. Honest. But I consider saying that a localization to a specific language (in this case, languages spoken by hundreds of millions of people) isn't relevant/newsworthy to be disrespectful/arrogant.

@Dman10 For those who grew up on all sorts of games in their native language (both original releases and localizations), nothing related to other languages/cultures/people will be worth mentioning. Just reinforces the colonizers view: what's not about themselves could and should be silenced

But those who bought the game when it came out years ago might only know about the inclusion of additional languages through news like this
