About damn time I've been waiting for this since i messaged their team about the Switch and they told me keep my eyes peeled for a release date... That was a year ago!
@retro_player_22 how about also a doom trilogy (or doom BFG edition) along with a quake pack and the original Wolfentstein since we only started with the Second one
He expects comments about his game being trash then he should also be open to the idea that platform holders wouldn't want said trash. Also, that game looks like burnt trash.
The back buttons are programmable buttons, the turbo rapid fire function is for any of the buttons after you tap the turbo button. It's standard on most Hori controllers these days
Wow that's actually way too high than I was willing to shell out for this game. Even Square Enix, the master of over priced ports, just launched an HD remaster of the Last Remnant for only 20 bucks.
I'll wait for a sale for this one.
Note: Edited because of some moron who can't chill out on recommendations.
I really wish this was a physical copy game but I'm stoked we are getting this at all. Definitely buying it day one!
I hope the AI partner isn't a doofus tho
@TheAwesomeBowser oh I dunno... Maybe the upcoming Wolfentstein game and some of Square Enix's "physical" copies might lead us to believe that not all games get actual cards in the case?
For 20 bucks I was expecting a little more variety - 90% shooters isn't exactly exciting. There were so many other classic arcade games from Konami's past that deserved to be on this list (TMNT arcade, Pooyan - tho technically also a shooter, Penguin Adventure, etc.) The inclusion of Haunted Castle is kind of baffling - why not put this one in the Castlevania collection? Maybe this was the only way to get attention for non bullet hell fans?
I still think the switch lite will be smaller (5 inch display instead of 6) and will probably have non detachable joy cons but still retain dockable mode. What I am sure of though is that they won't remove touch functionality like this guy did, and they'll probably remove the kick stand just to shave a few centimeters off the overall size of the device. Maybe they'll bring back transparent designs of the 2ds too?
The fact that they can implement a change without a patch leads me to believe they had this system in place all just for the greediness factor. This isn't a mobile game, we are paying full price for a console title... You already got our hard earned cash
In household like mine, where we have multiple gamers, I wouldn't mind picking up a cheaper Switch that is mostly handheld for when we need to be out and about while the family plays on the dock. Then again this could be similar to the 2ds and geared towards kids so a plus point would be joycons that don't come off and are less likely to break
@Ludovsky wow that's a whole load of info I wasnt expecting when I wrote my comment lol But I like where you are going with yours, Dragon Quest characters would be a welcome addition, as it's a series that doesn't get its due respect in the west and I'm sure that would cause a heightened interest in the series.
Also we need something completely random like Stanley the Bugman from Donkey Kong 3 just to give us some variety
@BenAV yeah I guess it's new but there's like 20 similar android clones that look just like this one though. Hopefully this one isn't plagued with iaps
Isn't this a free to play mobile game? Or a clone of one as I'm sure I've seen something similar on Android... But at least they are asking for 2 bucks as opposed to the insane devs asking for 20 for a mobile port
@Trajan considering this is a Nintendo site, one would argue the interest of Nintendo's current handhelds makes more sense than dead ones, or rivals like iPhones or Galaxy phones.. But whatever floats your boat. Since I am a 3ds and Switch owner I'd rather not spend on a long dead handheld for the sake of a single game made for it now. And that's why I'd like to see it remade or remastered for the Switch (since we all know the 3ds is also a dying platform).
God I wish this game had a physical copy. I'm going to have to hold off for a few.mo this just in case someone announces a version, just in case. But damn this game looks so good
@Itzdmo Did any of my comments come off as supporting dlc characters? Because if you did read them, you can clearly see I hate dlc pay walls or preorder restrictions.
@Medic_alert well let's agree to disagree regarding holding off on characters that are actually on the disk, and charging for them. And I'm more than aware of how expensive and risky games have become, I still don't think dlc exclusivity is a good practice. I can understand having a character dlc launch later on that needed more coding or whatever but holding off a game franchise staple like Shang Tsung, playable in almost every MK title after 2, is just greedy.
@Medic_alert your comment makes no sense in relation to mine. I mentioned a full roster of characters and not having to pay to unlock characters already present in the game at launch, as opposed to having budgets or whatever.
I guess you think it's totally justified to have to pay for stuff already in the game but hidden behind preorders or dlc vouchers via retailer exclusivity?
@subpopz sorry but Smash adding NEW characters at later dates in the year is nothing like having characters already in the game code being hidden behind a pay wall.
Remember when mortal kombat titles had all of their fighters IN GAME without needing to pay for them? Anyone also remember the amazing MK Trilogy & how there were a gazillion fighters in the game?

Re: Review: Arcade Classics Anniversary Collection - Perfectly Functional, But Not Much Else
For 20 bucks I was expecting a little more variety - 90% shooters isn't exactly exciting.
There were so many other classic arcade games from Konami's past that deserved to be on this list (TMNT arcade, Pooyan - tho technically also a shooter, Penguin Adventure, etc.)
The inclusion of Haunted Castle is kind of baffling - why not put this one in the Castlevania collection?

Re: 2017 Game Boy Platformer Tobu Tobu Girl Is Aiming For A Deluxe Game Boy Color Re-Release
@YANDMAN yeah because everyone on earth has a working game boy color, and the limited run on a dead handheld totally makes sense for maximum profits?
