This looks very neat. When I was younger, I had Mario Paint and spent many hours with that. This is a Nintendo product I hope that turns out well. A portable Dreams with some dilution.
For the complainers, Why these titles? They are very cheap licenses. Almost all these games many had not played before or heard of. What’s wrong with that? Seriously. I heard of all of these except the last one on Famicom. Magical Drop and Joe and Mac are perennials that always show up in Data East collections. Why? They are good games. The weak one for me is Baseball Sim 1.000. Think something like Super Baseball 2020 is a better title but I bet it’s cheaper to license Sim 1.000. I am glad it’s not just first party stuff only. That gets boring after the 8th time. Yes, there is many third party stinkers but still it’s welcomed to see things that would never had got the chance of day.
I wanted to like Phantom and Spirit..I really did. The only way to have movement through the stylus is what made me not like them as much. I love the Cel shade looks a lot and the story was fine in both and a nice breakaway from traditional Zelda plots but that stylus movement...not for me.
I enjoyed uprising. My only gripe is the reliance of the touch screen to move was weird for my hands. Twin sticking it is the way to go. Could let Tecmo Co develop it.
I can live with 720 res. Make the thing more durable in the joycon construction. Drift should not be a major issue. Or the air vent sound like a jet after turning it on.. ..thats probably just mine.. Lol
I know many want a bigger screen but really I never had too much issue with it currently. If anything the wideness of it can be annoying to me at times with button placements. If anything the wish list for me in a pro is joycon durability, adding a first party joycon with a d pad. I went back to my wii u the other day and realized how much I liked the game pad. Good weight and button placement. Bumping the visual to FHD is good enough for me. Unless you are using a TV bigger than 55", 4k is pointless. Add bluetooth support for headphones. Likily the unit will be 2022 early. Doesn't have to be holiday season to come out..... Look at the Switch launch.
Kinda look at 2020 releases, that was slow. Animal Crossing was an unexpected hit. Without looking at a list I am having extreme trouble remembering any other first party games for that year...oh yeah a revamp Pikmin. If they DID get in Zelda and Metroid by year end, that would be great. Or add in the GBA/GB to NSO. They can have bangers all year round. You get Other M and 4 Swords...lol
Mom probably at one point said to come get the stuff. Probably didn’t understand how sealed items worked for appreciation value. Also parents don’t like buying something it just being put in a corner when it was meant to be played. That sucks but the guy could of figured a way to get his stuff out of there less he was away in military or college. Otherwise, there is no other reason to leave it there.
I remember earlier this year NL put up an article saying someone predicted a 2D Metroid game to tide over till Prime 4......oh...boy..😕 When the WiiU well runs dry, the 3DS is next.
US is getting the bad end of this so far. They know for a matter of limited that they will do there ever so famous product scarcity tactic and never do a preorder like everywhere else in the world. Sure, I could order the Japanese one but it’s the point.
It’s the NES classic all over again or the Mario pins. Guess I will be rotting at Target that morning or Best Buy. Walmart will not have them ready till later in the day if not the next day.
Memory cards are the deal. Nothing else is. I’ll wait till Black Friday and November with other retailers. Amazon days usually mean they make their own products cheaper and a few other things. That’s it. Games usually get nothing.
This may not be some players cup of tea but it will help drive some DLC sales or copy sales for sure this holiday. This gets a huge demographic, kids. The character may act clunky but I think that won’t matter. I am loving the cross branding of Microsoft and Nintendo these days.
I feel more sold on it now. A puzzle style combat system is hopeful. I was not digging the way Color Splash and Sticker Star was done for combat. I enjoyed the latter but not much the former. And companions are always a welcome.
Switch is a devil for creating massive backlogs. I noticed it more in the past year since year three really ramped up the offerings.
I try buying physical only as much as I can and that is overwhelming at times also.
Sales will happen for most major publishers all the time especially Black Friday holidays.
My current stack is about 15 games. Giving them about three hours in each is the way that works for me. Tell if I will like it or just catalogue it.
Think it would be too early to put Disco Elysium on the list. It seems like most of the list went with a safe bet by looking either at sales or on Twitch of what's hot maybe?
This could get a 1, it will still be one of the biggest sellers of the year. It’s always a huge seller all year long. EA doesn’t need to give big N a decent port, it will be bought up anyhow and wind up as a budget title for $25 by December. It’s just crazy this can get by with a higher price than most AAA games.
Anyone else remember the 90s when there were many Brands at one time. Atari, Panasonic, NEC, Nintendo, Sega, Philips, SNK. If they could pull off streaming with a good package deal and get good contracts with devs, why not?
I would rather see a cart version on Switch with a compilation of 8-12 games. I think that it would be received better this way than with a mini. The mini would need to be a custom board for it since N64 was a more sophisticated machine. Multiplayer would be ideal for the Switch cart, especially with the new online service coming. Tie In??
I love the series but to a point. If these had more on the cartridge to make it unique besides the shell, it would be easier to swallow. The packaging is what has to sell this for a collector with a FOMO attitude. Agree with many. Rather have original game, manual, box for cheaper than those. They are cool looking granted. Multi cart 1-9, then we will talk.
Great game. My wife loves the Country series. We have it on WiiU. Don't know about buying it again on Switch. This will be many peoples chance to finally play this that skipped the WiiU. I feel that around Christmas time, it will likely drop and will wind up on a Selects type of circuit that makes it cheap. Might buy then....especially physical copy.

Use of a 3 party software can break the terms of usage. This seems bad for the players but seriously, other companies would had done the same.
