I was able to find a friend with a 3DS to meet up with the day before the eShop closed so I could get a Streetpass hit and buy all the games. I have to earn play coins in order to play them, but I am glad I was able to get them. Ultimate Angler is pretty fun!
I was going to buy a few of the Streetpass games before the shop closes, but since I have never had a Streetpass connection with anyone, it won't let me. I can't even get one of the free games.
@jco83 Obviously they are numbered differently. The article has been changed from the time I made my original comment. At first the article said that you could play every mainline Metroid game from the original Metroid all the way to Dread on Switch, but since you can't play Prime 2 or 3 on Switch, that isn't true. That was my point. It never specified anything about only counting the 2D games, and still doesn't at the time I am posting this comment.
@jco83 You are the first person I have ever come across who considered the Prime games spinoffs. Metroid Prime Pinball is a spinoff game.
If you can show me where Nintendo has stated that the Prime games are spinoffs, that would be helpful. Maybe they are, but they never seemed like it to me.
I am not a big fan of these printable rewards. Even if I was able to find the right paper to make it look like real artwork, I could never cut it straight enough.
I have never understood the acclaim that Gameboy Tetris continues to get. It by far has the worst controls of any Tetris I have played, not counting touch controls. NES Tetris is my preferred way to play pure Tetris, and Tetris 99 is the best special version of Tetris. Tetris DS is another standout.
Best Direct in a long time for me. The only thing that would have made it better was a release date for the Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters. I was really hoping they would be coming out today.
What I like about the 1st Final Fantasy is being able to try different parties to really change up how you play the game. You can start with 4 fighters or 4 black mages and have a totally different experience. Or if you are feeling crazy, you can let 3 members of your party die, and play with a single character. I have a friend who beat the game as a single thief which is probably the toughest way to beat the game. It was a rom on a computer, but I am still impressed.
This is a great update for me. Columns and Golden Axe II are 2 of my ultimate favorite Genesis games. I haven't ever played Alien Storm, but it looks cool.
@Tandy255 I created a second character on my island, and I am also working on the golden shovel. I get excited everytime Gulliver shows up, because I am close, but still not their yet.
I am enjoying Tetris Grand Master. It has been a long time since I played a version of Tetris where you couldn't hold a piece for later. Going to take a while to get used to it, much harder this way.

I bet I would enjoy myself here, but I don't know if I would have enough fun to make the price worth it for me.
Kinda surprised the park is on the smaller side. I wonder if it will ever be expanded?

Re: Nintendo Download: 9th February (North America)
I bought Power Pros for 2 reasons:
1. It is only 99 cents.
2. I want more Power Pros games to come to the US in the future!
Re: Poll: Would You Pay $70 For The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom?
Obviously $60 would be a better price, but I am not going to miss out on this because of $10.

Would have been nice to have this on Android. Not sure why they would limit their sales by ignoring Android users.
Re: Review: Blossom Tales II: The Minotaur Prince - A Cute Zelda-Like Adventure That Lacks Fresh Ideas
@Joe-b
I agree, this is a much better game than the 1st one, and I really liked the first one.
Minotaur Prince adds fishing and cooking, plus a lot more weapons and items.
I would definitely give this a 9 out of 10. I am addicted!
