It depends, if someone has played the original Final Fantasy on the NES and enjoyed it, I think they would be able to find some enjoyment in the original Dragon Quest.
If someone had played Chrysalis on the NES and enjoyed it, then I bet they would enjoy the first Legend of Zelda.
For me, Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort were mixed bags as well. I never liked the controls for boxing, and cycling just isn't fun. The rest of the games were either good, very good or great.
I am hoping this will have 100 pin bowling again, and that disc golf will be apart of the golf update.
@SportyMarioSonicMix It is more of certain games that are available for purchase that are not available on the online service.
You can get the NES Castlevania games in the Castlevania Collection. The NES Contra Games in the Contra Collection. The Mega Man games in the Mega Man Anniversary collections. However, you cannot purchase Super Mario Bros, you would have to subscribe to the Switch Online Service.
You can use the search function on the website and the eShop to help you see what is available.
You purchase Columns II on the Switch, it isn't part of the Switch online.
The Genesis version has better graphics, colors and music, IMO. The Game Gear version has some different shapes for the jewels, which are cool. I own both, but if I could only have one, I would go with the Genesis version.
@SportyMarioSonicMix If you have a Switch, I would recommend getting the Sega Ages Columns II. It also contains the Genesis version of Columns, which I much prefer to the Game Gear version. Columns II I rate a 9 out of 10. Game Gear Columns I would give a 7 out of 10.
@Specter_of-the_OLED Those are different. They clean the games. This disc totally wipes the Wii's memory so personal information is gone and all software is removed.

@Airzeh An African course would be great!

@Spoony_Tech Does this game have old players in it like Babe Ruth and Hank Aaron?
Re: Hands On: Nintendo Switch Sports Has Great Highs, But Disappointing Lows
@NintendoArchive No offense taken. I like bowling and disc golf the best, but my son agrees that airsports is the best!

Re: Hands On: Nintendo Switch Sports Has Great Highs, But Disappointing Lows
@NintendoArchive I was just using the same terminology as the article. I do consider Wii Sports Resort a masterpiece, for me the #1 game for the Wii.

Re: Random: Where's Ms. Pac-Man in Pac-Land?
Ms Pac Man is on Namco Museum on GameCube, but it would be great to play on Switch.
Re: Talking Point: Now That Zelda: BOTW 2 Is Off The Table, Should Holiday 2022 Belong To Mario?
Would love a Zelda 3D All Stars with Ocarina or a "Wind Waker/Twilight Princess" collection and a "Ocarina/Majora's" collection.
Re: Bloodstained: Ritual Of The Night Is Getting A Child Of Light Crossover, For Some Reason
@anoyonmus I was able to enjoy it, but some of the load times are annoying and unnecessary.
Oh well...
Re: Bloodstained: Ritual Of The Night Is Getting A Child Of Light Crossover, For Some Reason
Are they still planning on optimizing the Switch version?
Re: Nintendo Reminds Fans EarthBound And EarthBound Beginnings Are Available On Switch Online
Why play these when you can play Urban Champion?
Still waiting for Suburban Champion BTW!
Re: Random: Requests For Zelda Ports Increase Following BOTW 2 Switch Delay
We already got folders, stop being greedy!
Re: Poll: Kirby And The Forgotten Land Is Out Today On Switch, Are You Getting It?
I played the demo for a bit, but the 3D made me nauseous, so I won't be playing it anymore. I did enjoy the car section though.
Re: Poll: Do You Own This Rare Twilight Princess Box?
Could be promo, prototype, printing error or fake.
Re: My Nintendo Offers Some Sweet N64-Themed Keychains In The US
Just ordered both sets. These are very cool! Glad I saw this before they were gone.
Re: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Version 2.0.0 Now Live, Confirms All DLC Cup Names
@Grumblevolcano My apologies.
Re: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Version 2.0.0 Now Live, Confirms All DLC Cup Names
@lighteningbolt79 You are right! I forgot about that. Thanks!
Re: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Version 2.0.0 Now Live, Confirms All DLC Cup Names
@Grumblevolcano The cherry could be from the roulette mini game in Super Mario Bros 2. The Acorn is from New Super Mario Bros U.
Re: Talking Point: Which Other 'Old' Switch Games Would You Like To See Get New DLC?
I want a Super Mario Bros 2 theme and Amiibo back for Super Mario Maker 2.
Re: Square Enix Unveils The DioField Chronicle, A Brand New Strategy RPG Coming To Switch In 2022
Looks great! Kinda close to Triangle Strategy but that is okay.
Re: Konami Announces Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection For Switch
@Mikmoomamimocki Actually, Turtles In Time is unlockable in TMNT 3: Mutant Nightmare. The 1st Arcade Game is unlockable in TMNT 2: Battle Nexus.
Re: MAR10 Day Sale Now Live On US Switch eShop, Mario Games Discounted
@gojiguy You can get the physical sale on Amazon and Best Buy, possibly other stores.
Re: MAR10 Day Sale Now Live On US Switch eShop, Mario Games Discounted
I have been waiting for Mario Kart to go on sale so I could have it digitally. It really is beautiful on the OLED.
Re: Poll: Triangle Strategy Is Out Today On Nintendo Switch, Will You Be Getting It?
Pre-ordered as soon as I could and it should be in my hands tomorrow.

Make it happen!
Re: Random: Uh Oh, It Looks Like Steam Deck And Switch Might Have One Thing In Common
This seems very quick. Some people must be really rough with their controllers.
Re: Review: Columns (3DS eShop / GG)
@SportyMarioSonicMix Then why start all of this in a Columns comment section?
I am done talking to you.
Re: Review: Columns (3DS eShop / GG)
@SportyMarioSonicMix
Every game that is available for purchase doesn't require an online membership.
The online membership will give you access to a different selection of games, but they are not available for purchase. You can just play them.
Re: Review: Columns (3DS eShop / GG)
@SportyMarioSonicMix
Understanding of what?
Re: Review: Columns (3DS eShop / GG)
Neo Geo games you can buy individually, but most others you cannot.
1st party retro Nintendo games are not for sale.

Re: Review: Columns (3DS eShop / GG)
@SportyMarioSonicMix There is a lot. Check out Nintendo's website.
Re: Review: Columns (3DS eShop / GG)
@SportyMarioSonicMix You can access and purchase games on the eShop without having the online membership.
If you want to use the NES or SNES channels, you need to purchase the Nintendo Switch Online basic membership.
If you want to use the N64 or Genesis channels, you need to purchase the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pass.
You don't need either to purchase Columns II.

Re: Nintendo Download: 24th February (North America)
AAA Clock Extended Edition
Everyone laughs at my Switch clock collection, but when they become the next Stadium Events, I will have the last laugh. Hahahahaha!
Re: Nintendo's Mobile Mario Kart Is Getting A New Update Soon, Raises The Level Cap
If the level caps aren't increased, then the game will stop making money and will end.
I like the game enough to accept this inevitable change, for now anyway.

Will there be best of Virtual Console games articles for the Wii U and 3DS?
Re: Random: This Disc Will Wipe Your Nintendo Wii Clean

Re: Nintendo Is Ending 3DS & Wii U eShop Purchases In March 2023 (North America)
Bummer, I guess I need to make a few more purchases sooner rather than later.
Re: Reminder: You Don't Need The Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass To Play The DLC
@Browny Mario Kart Tour has some cool tracks, Ninja Hideaway being one of the best.
Re: Nintendo Shares The Original EarthBound Player's Guide Online

Same here. Earthbound Beginnings is tough!

Re: Step Up To The Plate, MLB The Show 22 Is Coming To Switch
This is cool news. I have never played any of "The Show" games, so I will check this out.
Now all we need is MLB PowerPros on Switch!
Re: Random: Nintendo Shows Switch Owners How To Delete Games, Uses Super Mario Bros. 35 As An Example
I am still holding on to a fool's hope that they will bring Super Mario 35 back someday.
Re: Talking Point: Should The Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack Library Expand Faster?
I would like them to fix the emulation of the current games first.

Re: Talking Point: What's Your Favourite New Feature In Animal Crossing: New Horizons 2.0 And The Happy Home DLC?
@dugan I agree, New Horizons has plenty of great new stuff that make it a great game. Plus, I still have New Leaf if I want to play it.
