I'll start playing it tonight. I just hope the hiccups don't put me off. They'll have to be really bad to make me put it down

Talk about great news!!!!!!!!!!!
Having these games on a modern system will be perfect! Can't wait for it

Let's hope this time we won't have the same frame rate hiccups as in Link's Awakening

@DennyCrane indeed. Looks more like a survival horror NPC than a basketball player

They took a second chance with the Impossible Lair and they nailed it! Just love that game!
Although they're very different games, I'm sure they have seen and heard a lot about Yooka Laylee for the past 7 years and I hope they'll use this knowledge to fix some its flaws to make it more accessible, aka playable now
I really like the way characters look in the screenshots!

@cookiki If Link's Awakening Remastered, which kept the same gameplay features as the Game Boy game, had its frame rate problems, this one with the game play innovations make me scratch my head a little, but I'm so hyped anyway. Counting the days!

I think there's nothing much to talk about here. The timeline isn't even a line. It's a mess of broken pieces of lines. Do with them whatever you wish

I have the DS trilogy and have been playing them again from time to time. They're all great considering their unique aspects, and I still tend to be really fond of Portrait and to look a little down on Ecclesia (it didn't have to be that hard). Dawn is perfection (as is Portrait for me). An incredible collection and the museum feature is a super plus for me.

Just the kind of game for me. If the original game is great, I expect this to be at least a little better with the additions. Great!

@Uncle_Franklin If sales numbers are not available, then it didn't break the million copy threshold. But as this is a relatively "less expensive" kind of game to make, lower numbers don't necessarily mean a bad result, since production cost is lower too. I just can't imagine how much it takes to make a new FZero or Star Fox today with all models designed from scratch

That's basically what I was expecting from this game. Just like the two previous games, which is very good! Although the Japanese voice work is all I'm gonna use, I can't see why there is not an option to switch it to English. At least it is a way for native English speakers to have a little taste of what Portuguese, Spanish, Dutch, German, etc, speakers feel when dubbing in their native language is not available in a game. Anyway, English dubbing just doesn't work for me when it comes to visual novels, but the lack of options in a game that costs this much is just not cool

Now give us Street Fighter EX Plus Alpha!

@Edd-O The GameBoy Color entry Hoshizorashi Dynamites Arawaru is also a great experience and deserves a localization. It could be in the collection you suggested

Even the long name in the Japanese version screams Goemon, alongside the coins, shops, items... I wanna play it soon

Such a great talent! Rest in peace!

I remember playing it for the first time in 1997, during my first year of high school. Sometimes skipped classes to go to the arcade. My jaw dropped when I saw the awesome animation and the size of some sprites. For years, in the 2000s and even in the early 2010s, Marvel Super Heroes and Street Fighter Zero 2 were the two reasons why I got my old JP Saturn out of the box from time to time

For me, this collection is worth it for MSH and X-men CotA alone! I'm sure it's gonna be an incredible package!

I decided to play Tears of the Kingdom slowly and enjoy the ride. The result was that when I decided it was time to face Ganondorf, I had a decent number of hearts, reasonable armor sets and still a great deal of things to discover, but my percentage was what really shocked me: around 50%. And by that time I had played it for around 200 hours. And what a joy!

Should I be afraid of what these games will be/play like? I mean, the franchises are awesome, so the games should live up to them

Children of the Atom and Marvel Super Heroes are my favorite 1990s non-SF Capcom fighting games. The games were so beautiful and fun to play that it's hard to say how many hours and coins I spent playing them back in the day. Hard as nails, but great fun all the same!

@mlt I have incredibly good memories of Tatsunoko vs Capcom. The roster was great with some faces we don't see around every day. An incredible exclusive for the Wii and since there were no movement controls to adapt when porting, I guess it'd not be such hard work for them. I'm game for that one!

@Ristar24 Totally agree. SSFII The Final Challengers is a joy to play in the hardest difficulty level. Really balanced and controls are perfect!

It's great to have never-released-in-the-West-before titles with proper localization and other features. It's a very reasonable price (digital edition). The kind of collection that deserves support!

So you guys really consider we have an F-Zero game on Switch? Come on...

Very beautiful set, pleasing to look at. I'll always see Lego as a luxury and costly product, so I don't buy them (Volkswagen van, I should have bought you!), but this one is undeniably a looker in my opinion.

I love Sakurai's views and explanations. And it's also a great way to practice Japanese with a theme I love

Even though they're not excellent, Aero 1 and 2 are very good games. Solid ones. I remember I played Zero, but I have absolutely no memories of the game itself. And I didn't know there was a GBA game. It's really good to have all four games released. The more, the merrier

Impossible to choose only one, man! A top 3 is required for a smooth vote. Other than that, not feasible!

I wish, but I doubt it. And maybe in three years we will be paying 70 dollars for games that cost 60 now. I hope I'm wrong

Such a beautiful piece. If you decide to invest that money in it, I doubt you'll regret it!

By the way, I beat Ganondorf again in TotK and once more I had a really hard time getting flurry rushes to work during the 2nd half of Ganondorf's phase two. It works fine and easy in phase one, but not it the 2nd part of phase two, so I spend a helluva time shooting bombs at him. Are FR really hard to work in that part or is it just me?

@Tyranexx Indeed, the Deku Tree set price was the first that came to my mind when I saw the Ganondorf statue price

Holy Mother of God! 300 dollars!
Lego has never been cheap, I know, but....

Man, that's a feat! Week after week a simple remaster released on a single platform (not a football game, not an FPS, not a Harry Potter game) staying strong! It'll be in the million seller list when Nintendo updates it

My main game this week has been Zelda Tears of the Kingdom. Returned to it after some time. Exploring the underworld, looking for lightroots and collecting poes to get two sets of armors (Dark and of the Depths). After doing it, I'm going into the final main quest.

I ended up giving in and buying NES World Championship. It's kind of barebones if you don't care about online play, which is my case, but having started my gaming life in the late NES era, I can say it really appeals to me. It's a really good game to play in short bursts and little by little achieve S ratings. And I guess I'm the kind of audience who'll enjoy it. Maybe younger gamers will be put off

Puzzle platformer

• Mario vs Donkey Kong - keep playing the plus stages in short bursts after beating the main 8 worlds.

Visual novels
Still playing Murder by Numbers, alternating it with Famicom Detective Club - The Missing Heir. Both incredible games!

Platformers (all of them in short bursts)

• Save Me Mr Tako
• Super Princess Peach (DS)
• Densetsu no Starfy (GBA)

"here there's actually much less in terms of variety with regards to the objectives and ways in which challenges are meted out."

That's really negative in my opinion. If there was a game that did all this one does and much more, what's the point here? It's disappointing to say the least. I'm really sure I'm gonna have fun playing it, but I'm not gonna get it day one. There's a feeling they should have done more to offer some variety at least

I'm gonna get it soon, but I'm still not sure if day one. It's the kind of game that'll give me a lot of fun right off the bat, but I'll probably put it down soon.

Although they're NES games I've got most of and they're easily available, the full games being included in this release would be a great thing

@PikminMarioKirby An iPad is an excellent option because it has a real touch screen, so you can use the stylus precisely and make fast movements, which are required in some games. Much better than using a mouse or a right analogue to emulate the pen

I admit I'm surprised by Luigi's Mansion's good performance week after week. I thought it would appear in the charts in the first week, then disappear. That's great

@LikelySatan Oh, Gosh, that shampoo ad is awesome LOL

• Save Me Mr Tako - playing it in short bursts
• Mario vs Donkey Kong - playing the plus stages now after beating the main 8 worlds. I never imagined this game had so much content to offer!
• Streets of Rage 4 - I'm at the final stage now, playing Blaze, and it always takes me some attempts to beat it (normal mode). It's a great challenge every time.
• Murder by Numbers - a really nice visual novel. The writing is great! Full of references and jokes
• Famicom Detective Club - The Missing Heir - the story has really captured me and gets better every time
• Super Princess Peach (DS) - one of my favorite platformers ever. Such a light game to play with some interesting power ups and excellent stage design. It certainly deserves more love and presence in lists containing the best games for the DS
• Densetsu no Starfy - started playing it yesterday and it's been so fun so far

Since I'm on vacation, I'm considering getting back to Tears of the Kingdom, too

I thank the universe for being able to enjoy this moment in gaming history. As a Nintendo gamer since the late NES/early SNES days, there has never been a better time than now to enjoy games day one, to be able to buy less popular games that wouldn't be available easily at stores at other times. Having both new releases and a huge retro library in a console that's both a handheld and a TV console is a blessing

I remember playing both 1 and 2 on the Snes back in the day. They were good games, solid platformers with some different things to do. They were pretty hard, though. Yet, my memories of playing them are good. 7/10 for me.

I just don't get why they're releasing just the first one. I doubt they're expensive games to license, but who knows...

@DiamondJim Maybe they understand compression thoroughly, but they simply don't care about it or probably don't wanna invest the necessary time to perform it. Current gen game downloads of 70, 80gb are common for other systems, so I think they see a number like 55 and say "whoa, that's excellent!"

I didn't know there were bugs like these preventing players from progressing in TTYD, but it's great they've been working on it

Live and learn. First time I hear there's a Sonic rpg for the DS. And the comments here are maybe saving me from trying it

Kinda shocked to know Switch owners bought just 1% less FC 24 than those who own the mighty PS5. What's the point here: portability, install base?

Without any digital sales includes, TTYD might as well be the best selling game of May all systems considered, but we'll never have those numbers to know it for sure

As for hardware sales numbers, I don't think it's expected to remain high 7 years into the system's life. I know there are a lot of aspects to be considered, but as much as the Switch can be considered old, all system sales dropped, so...

After finishing Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon on the 3DS, I've been playing:

• Mario vs Donkey Kong (in short bursts)
• Famicom Detective Club the Missing Heir
• Save Me Mr Tako

And replaying:

• Streets of Rage 4

Waiting for the offline mode, Nintendo. Come on, you can do it!

@_Figo_ I think Pac Man still has an offline mode if you bought it. Just like Tetris

I played Mach Rider and Urban Champion a lot back in the day. I was kinda bad at Urban Champion, but kept playing it because that's what you did when had few games and had to rent or borrow new games from friends if you wanted to play something different. Mach Rider was so fun!
