Instead get a PS3 and hack it, then you can install both Adventure games, plus Crazy Taxi and Jet Set Radio in HD.

@abe_hikura *Wii era

Monolith now stands firmly under Nintendo's nuclear DMCA takedown umbrella.

"Alarmo" sounds like the name of an elf who guards the town at night.

@Snatcher Yeah, it kind of was. At least for us old timers who remember what a proper MK game is supposed to play like. Anything Wii and up is junk.

@Anti-Matter You can mainly thank Melee esports tournaments for cementing the GameCube controller as a golden standard, but you are right; it is a disadvantage for some games such as Mega Man X8.

@acbarebear Or the long-anticipated SNES Remix.

@justin233 Yes, it is a shame; I was hoping for an NES Remix 3 in spirit. I'll pass, too.

@Yousef-
Basketball was included in both Wii Sports Resort and Wii Sports Club.

@LinktotheFuture Mine has golf on the cart and box art, and it came with a little garter for the joy-con.

Luigi's Mansion was one of my favorite games. Luigi's Mansion 2 however was a disappointment. I mean yeah, the mechanic was there: stun a ghost and such it up with a vacuum, but it had lost all the character, spooky tone, and even the music style which made the original GCN game so great.

@JohnnyMind That is also a fair point, especially if they receive the "Zelda HD" treatment.

Also, don't doddle, Wii U USB Helper uses the official Nintendo servers to download files (once equated to "stealing straight from their front porch"). Only a couple more months left to do so:

THE WII U ESHOP NINTENDO SERVERS WILL BE DISCONNECTED IN APRIL 2024. Possibly before then.

@JohnnyMind I respectfully disagree. Pero, Yes the 'biggest' Wii U titled should be ported, but not all of them; leave some magic on Wii U. Like, the inability to yet emulate CBFD gives some mystique to N64.

Either way, nowadays you can play them all for free, you just need to install TiramisU firmware on your Wii U and use Wii U USB Helper to get the game/update/DLC files. (Technically you just need the firmware to launch games with DLC and non official software).

3DS had iirc 16G, Wii U had up to 32G, Switch is 64G, so I'd expect the NextN to have at least 128G.

Literally my only gripe about losing E3 is that I have to go back to my cartoon that takes place in the 2060s and change a character's "E3 2058" tee shirt.

I do miss the pre-Wii U Era events--good times--but those days have been long gone.

@TheDownfallHero7 Very interesting and much more probable; trifrucation of anything is unicorn-rare. It is indeed much more likely that the timeline was split, then the adult timeline split again, like you typed.

@Ulysses

When Princess Zelda sent Link back in time at the end of Ocarina of Time, she inadvertently split the timeline into three separate timelines: one where Link grows up and defeats Ganon, one where he is defeated by Ganon, and the one shown where he goes back to his childhood and does not fight Ganon at all. This is all canon.

Different Zelda games take place on one of these three timelines or else take place in the single timeline before OoT. This was all confirmed in in the publication Hyrule Historia. That was before Breath of the Wild.

Due to both in-game evidence and the comments of the creators, BotW is widely accepted to take place after the timelines have rejoined into a single timeline once again. Tears of the Kingdom, in turn, takes place (relatively) immediately after BotW.

At least BotW melded the split timelines back together to make it simpler going forward (I call it the "Anti-OoT").

"Picklock" is one of my favs from that publisher (the rest were so-so, but that is subjective).

indestructible my butt! I've seen them shatter when they hit the floor.

Then they just tack it to the game price, solidifying the $70 price point as the new norm.

Astral chain; that game was epic! Very unique gameplay mechanics and pretty decent if not 'out there' story. Very highly recommend!

I tried this design once but rejected it for stability issues. It was quickly replaced by the Hylia Aeronautics H-4 Darner, H-5S Gerudo, and H-6 Aerocuda designs.

@mattesdude Right, we'll never get the most powerful in a particular console era again, but the more they wait, the more of today's tech becomes the "withered tech" that will end up in the next Nintendo.

Honestly don't want or need a Switch 2 until the others are ready for their next consoles, lest we get another underpowered system that devs will avoid porting to next consoles era.

No, never, but a few of them did not come with a booklet.

@MysticalOS You can't "jailbreak" a console (that's for iphones), you 'mod' them.

@NatiaAdamo Season 2

@Breeze23
Wii Sports was part of the Wii Series. The other games in the series were Wii Play, Wii Music, Wii Sports Resort, Wii Play Motion, Wii Fit, and Wii Party. Nintendo Switch Sports is not part of the Wii Series, although it serves as a spiritual successor to Wii Sports Resort, which in turn is also a spiritual successor to PilotWings (takes place in the same world).

@nessisonett
This. I second this, and it's not like Nintendo is losing any money on Wii U software at this point.

For me, they died that day with Iwata-san...It can never remotely be the same.
I don't wanna type anymore.

I enjoyed The World's Not Enough on PSX.

Of course yoshi is a dino; there are no lizards (squamates) in the Mushroom Kingdom.

@Vriess
That, too.

Cool.
[An obligatory string had been intentionally placed here]

@DioBrando More or less an entire culture to boot.

Once found a Mario vs Sonic London cart. Not too bad a game. However I did have Nintendogs+Cats on one of those old EZ Flash DS flashcarts; you know the one...

We have Cooking Mama and Toy Stunt Bike on Switch now, now give us Nintendogs!

If a next era console, then of course...eventually. If a 'New' iteration (what some call "Pro", although that means something different in Nintendo nomenclature), pass; I don't usually buy into the 'New' versions. I still have a launch 3DS.

That song is absolutely the farthest you can get when thinking about Sonic; he is a ROCKER, through and through!🤘 Hell, he even had his own rock band (Sonic Underground).

@Savino The first smartphone came out before iMac; Apple didn't "invent the smartphone". Of course it was still very rudimentary, think palm pilot with cellular service.

Edit: @Kawaiipikachu beat me to the punch, and with nice detail too, although the earliest ones didn't have touchscreens.

@Dr_Awkward @EarthboundBenjy
If you go by Miyamoto's own vision of what Zelda was supposed to be, I would have to say BOTW. My personal favorite, however, is Wind Waker.

"Love hotel" this, "museum" that; I'm gonna just point out the elephant sitting in the room: what about the skeleton of Yamauchi-san buried in the basement of the building?

@Munchlax
They have every authority to "cancel" their own game; it happens all the time. Remember Star Fox 2 before the minis came out. Albeit this is unique in having cancel a game after it has already been released. In the old days, they would just 'go out of print'.

Combining DS and Wii sales isn't really the same thing. Me and my wife had a Wii, my kids had thier Wii, and all of us had a DS light or DSi. With Switch, it's more like taking the DSs out of the equation for me. For wealthier folks, perhaps it's like taking the Wiis out of the equation. No one is going to buy a Switch for home and another for on-the-go per person; it defeats the purpose of Switch.

It's an image from an alternate reality where the Nintendo Play Station didn't fall through.

@Xiovanni Excellent reasoning; not to mention developers get scared back to their nests by piracy ever since DS, even though it hasn't gotten nearly as widespread even in the BootMii days.

@X68000 N64; I have a copy of Rush that will no longer save. I've never had that issue with the others though (never even seen a Vita).

@Xiovanni
You have to understand Switches are not meant to play games this way. What I mean is: they have software to actively prevent loading "ROMs" on the console. To load the ROMs requires extensive modifications of the console via software (known as 'custom firmware') or hardware (media emulators, mod' chips) and the knowledge to find, install, and operate said modifications.

If you can do all that (and not all Switches can presently), you already know where to get ROMs, and the loss of 1% of the ROM sites isn't going to slow anyone down. Besides, digital sucks; it's better to purchase physical games and support your favorite game company.
