@BulbasaurusRex your Lufia II comment was hilarious because, the thing is, I can get it. That's the entire point of this article. We live in an age where we can get most things we want if it's not offered. I don't see anything wrong with that. Since they're not providing a way for me to purchase said product their not losing out on any money if I choose to d/load it and play it on Retro-Arch across a myriad of other devices.

If they make said product, be it Lufia II or any other retro game the community wants officially available via whichever channels they choose I would gladly purchase the product to support their efforts and medium. Hence one of the reasons I pay for their online service, I'm actually enjoying a few of the NES games.

All it takes is one look at at the poll on this very article to see over 80% of people use emulation or have used emulation, whatever the reason may be. You can talk about taking the high road all you like but the reality is there are many simple options available out there and the solution is to provide a legal alternative method.

Can't wait for the second one. Played the first one to 100% so won't be double dipping on it, have enough of a backlog as it is.

I'm loving this. I think Bowsette and Booette or whatever are awesome characters. Fantastic fan art and cool mods. What's not to like?

@VinylCreep @Latinomex01 @EVIL-C @Ralizah He already stated in a tweet that it wasn't Fatal Frame and if it were they wouldn't have been losing money.

Personally I'm hoping it's Affordable Space Adventures. That was a phenomenal game. Either way I don't think small to mid business companies should not hurt themselves financially for passion projects that only a few people will appreciate. They have a business run with the responsibility to feed mouths and make sure the company doesn't go under. It's decisions like these that may be significant and could hurt in the long run.

Struggles are real and I for one am not a supporter of decisions like these. Depending on the game I may not even get it.

@Razer how can u expect them to survive if they don't. Running retail is far more expensive than a virtual store.

Something has to change in order for these brick and mortar stores to actually make a profit. They can't compete with online retailers. They'll either drown in debt or won't make a dime charging what Amazon and the likes do.

@gameboy1975 @bluedogrulez most reviews seemed positive on the game and I can say it was definitely decent but that's all it was. This looks more promising but I'll scope it out. Regardless looks like Starlink is going to satisfy this itch, but can never have too much of a good thing 😋

Manticore definitely left me wanting since I felt it was very wash, rinse, repeat. Too much repetition made it a bit of a slog to run all the way through. I find myself just playing a few levels at a time cuz it gets boring too quickly for me.

Favorite RPG saga on Switch thus far, even more so than Octopath. How I would love a fully remastered/reimagined Xenosaga compilation on Switch with all 6 original planned episodes and scenarios by Soraya Saga and Tetsuya Takahashi. Bamco should just sell the rights to Ninty and Squeenix should let go of Xenogears too. If they ever remade that game I would literally be in RPG heaven. I can’t stand that they do nothing with such amazing IP.

I’m concerned by the fact that Tencent bought the shares. These guys are a monstrous company, especially with their mobile side. Wonder if they just didn’t invite someone else to buyout?

Why even bother to fix this. It's fine and no exaggeration stupid of them to say it's embarrassing and who'se even complaining? I don't think anyone complained and why should they?

Aww.. not that excited to be honest. I've already played this on both Wii and Wii U. I hope they're working on something else.

@I_am_Done Zero is highly divisive and unfortunately the majority didn't enjoy it & feel it was inferior to SF64. I don't think assault was more fun than SF64 either.

@thesilverbrick I am not sure if you’re aware but even on PS4 and Xbone There are many games with mandatory downloads that need to be installed just to play the game, as high as 40 to 60 GB.

@Anti-Matter I’m a bigger JRPG fan than any other genre of gaming so I enjoy both. I find your opinion a bit short sighted since you haven’t played it, however I acknowledge that to each his own, why play something you have no interest in. However I hold all opinions and judgement until I have played a game, I might say it “Looks” boring or it it’s not my type of game but I won’t flat out say it is anything until I’ve experienced it for myself, otherwise your just hating passing an opinion for something u haven’t actually played for yourself.

@Anti-Matter seriously? Have you had an opportunity to play Spider-Man? The camera work and web slinging system are amazing, and make it an absolute blast to traverse the world. Could very well be the most fun way to traverse a sandbox/semi open world of sorts.

Also as a Spider-Man fan, what the studio achieved with the story, lore, and combat were nothing short of glorious. They did the series justice and other than Batman Arkham 3 nothing comes close to super-hero gaming perfection.

Unfortunately I wouldn't play the first one again as much as I liked it. Origins I might give a go, would just prefer something new.

As much as I like the middle finger he's sticking to the prize machine and the scamming it represents I wonder what drove the man to commit such an idiotic act lol.

Actually the play on a friends switch thing is nice and wasn’t really talked about or detailed by Nintendo.

Looks interesting. That name is very off putting tho.

My scale is broken over the anticipation and excitement.

One of my top 10 games played on Switch. Can't stop playing, one run is never enough!

@Heavyarms55 your post pretty much summed up what I was gonna say perfectly.

Already have mutant Mudds so the only thing that appeals to me would be xeodrifter.

@Realnoize ah I gotcha. Yes I can absolutely see if your a commute and outgoing reader how that would be useless. I don't think I'd mind trying it out tho and seeing how it works for me.

@Realnoize if it's like the inkypen app what's nice is your can dock it & see the whole page or frames on your TV for maximum clarity & visibility.

I’ll probably go with the subscription-based one since I can read whatever I want as much as I want for a set price rather than just pay for individual items. Izneo would turnout to be much more expensive for all the reading I'd like to do.

@mikethegamerguy I would expect something MUCH better if I was say paying the $60 that the competitors charge. The $20 I assume would cover at barebones the service charge for server maintenance and a few extras NOTHING MAJOR. Online isn’t something u can support for free.

@justin233 fixed.. whoops.

I figured for $20 a year they’ve already said all their about to give us. Online, play, cloud saves and 20 NES games. I mean let’s think about this, for a third of what the competitors are changing for online how much do u really think we’ll be getting? I don’t understand the expectations for $20 lol.

Seen stores with stock in my area. It goes rather quick but the restocks seem to be there.

@justin233 Not a fan of orange so glad they’re keeping it kind of neutral with white. Definitely a want from me.

I’d play for sure. Looks addictive!

Looks like it’s another one to add to my backlog I like the look of this game a lot.

@Heavyarms55 hahaha bro relax. Some people the game didn't vibe with. Mostly from a combat and character design standpoint and I can see where their coming from.

I on the other hand love the game and am over 250hrs with only the first 1 or 2 contents of DLC. I'll have much to get back into come next month. Highly excited.

Trolls & haters I don't even take their comments into consideration.

@FriendlyHuman actually your right the deluxe version isn't on Wii U lol. So good on u bud, my fault.

@FriendlyHuman MK8D is also out on Wii U where clearly this peripheral would not work.

@Balchad that's the thing, adding options still takes more resources affecting the speed, however if it could be done in a way where where speed is only affected slightly and the OS stays snappy and responsive, I would be all for it.

@Moshschocker that's what we're talking about here. Switch UI is minimalistic but extremely fast at both loading the menu and launching games. Where as the PS4 and XBONE have more features but are far slower and a bit of a convoluted mess at times.

I'm in the speed over features camp clearly. However I would still love some tags/folders/sorting features for organizing so long as it wouldn't affect the speed much. I also agree I should be able to at least send messages. Hopefully once NOL launches it will solve some of those problems.

@Agramonte that's funny cuz my PS4 Pro and Xbox One X seem to have plenty of resources but still [removed] slow and nowhere near as fast when compared to my 200kb Switch UI.

Nice way to put a spin on the concept & down play the achievement though.

Edit: seriously my PS4 pro pisses me off the most. It's unacceptable how the menu still stutters and freezes on me sometimes. Ridiculous considering the power of the system.

Thank you for introducing this to me, one of many reasons why I love the articles on this website.

I hope it brings some nice physical goodies!

I never saw the appeal in these games, mind you I tried each of them several times. Found the platforming & controls to be flawed, and the level design was definitely not my cup of tea. Compared to other games in the genre I had back then they were pretty awful.

I've been waiting for this 😈

It looks absolutely hilarious and I'm willing to jump in if the Price Is Right.

I got it thanks guys I missed it the first time. I thought about going digital and waiting until November when the patch for performance improvements drops but I figured why not just get this beautiful physical bundle.

@Pojos98 I think it's funny because there hasn't been much storytelling to flesh out the type of character that Samus is.

I believe people have their own idea or view on the type of character she is but in all honesty it's up to the creators to elaborate and show more of her character according to the creators vision. She's human, a woman at that which comes with all the strengths and complexities of being an orphan. If they choose to show her to be vulnerable or terrified at what she's experiencing that's ok. Even if it doesn't match up with our own pre-conceived notions of who she is or isn't.

Funny how other m gets such a bad rap. It was a fun game to play for me and I really enjoyed it. Not so much the story because it was weak and I didn't like what they did with Samus but the gameplay, exploration and combat was fun. Fusion was my favorite 2D Metroid imo.

1. Fusion
2. Prime Trilogy (Motion controls for aiming were excellent & fun)
3. Samus Returns 3DS
4. Super Metroid
5. Other M.

@hatch @Razer great comments on here with actual relevancy and news.

On the other hand @Anti-Matter I can’t really tell if your being sarcastic or being funny when you ask for Ubisoft shovelware like the Petz and Imagine series 😂 but honestly yea we def don't need any more of those awful titles right? 😉

Ubi has a good catalogue of IP's and franchises that would sell well, and continue giving the Switch a good image in the gaming community as a a versatile gaming machine, which can can play AAA ports on the go, that the console would benefit from and that are fun to play on the go.

@Pazuzu666 the only reason I pre-order are for either pre-order bonuses, if they’re any good mind you and sometimes they have pre order discounts, which again have to be enticing with more than a 10% discount in order for me to jump on it.

Def gonna be getting this one.
