I started in the future with Cube because he was the most interesting-looking player character.

I also renamed Cube "Futbol."

I actually really like the Shy Guy! They're a solid pick to put into any team and augmenting with equipment to fill a need. My old team wasn't especially fast, so, having Shy Guy zip around and hanging around the center of the court, has really filled a needed gap.

Before: Donkey Kong (captain), Rosalina, Waluigi, Luigi
Now (for now): Donkey Kong, Daisy, Waluigi, Shy Guy

Show of hands, how many of you voted AFTER watching the video?

When we do get a sequel, can we get Sally and Bunnie as playable characters? Bunnie can have a hover and have her blaster arm while Sally could double jump and do wall kicks.

...

Okay, fine, I guess Amy can come too this time. If you all /insist/. >.>

Good. Destroy the whole blockchain.

Managed to secure mine after about three hours of fighting with the shop, but I got mine. <3

@kkslider5552000 Actually, we've been able to get Wily Wars in the Sega Genesis Mini from a couple of years ago, and we also got a reproduction cart from Limited Run Games, but this is easily the most readily available legitimate way it's been made available outside of Europe, so, absolutely still worth celebrating.

Holey moley! I know ripping on Nintendo's online offerings is the hip (and probably right) thing to do, but I've gotta say? This is a solid offering this month. Well done, Nintendo! Or, Sega. Or, whomever. >.>

I think I saw it when it came out, but lost sight of it as other games came out too. It's a shame, this looks like something I'd have loved to have played more of. A non-gun battle royale would have been right up my alley. So sad.

@Mgalens Seeing the whole of the Great Sea was a BIG help, yes. The improved presentation also helped.

@Lanmanna The original trailer ended with Link looking back and giving a long wink that was kinda cringy and felt really unnatural, even with the excuses of a cartoon environment. It may have shifted the tone of the game /too/ much for my taste. Not helped by the fact the weak animation of the trailer to begin with.

The original presentation was not a great presentation. That capstone wink was a little cringe and it looked rough. The refined look was an improvement, but still took time to get used to.

But in the end, we got one of the prettiest Zelda games in the series and one I can’t imagine never of having. Easy top 5 or 3 Zelda for me.

I'm okay with this! I prefer playing alone anyway.

Of course the "board of directors at Activision Blizzard is satisfied with Kotick's performance and handling of the recent scandals." They were more than likely participating themselves and should be held just as accountable as Kotick! Between this and the "Activision declares Activision innocent" announcement a couple of days ago, no, "innocent until proven guilty" is not applicable here. What is applicable? "Where there's smoke, there's fire." There needs to be a federal investigation to the fullest extent of the law. Turn the entire company inside out if you have to. Drag Kotick and the entire board before a grand jury at this rate.

@KnightsTemplar That was Chris Evans, and yes he did.

As for Chris Pratt, I’m keeping an open mind with his Mario. Will it be different? Sure. But the Switch is different from other consoles and we love it and other consoles all the same!

That’s good. The only romance that ever worked for Sonic was Princess Sally in the Saturday Morning cartoon and in the better written days of the Archie comics. Their final kiss was perfection.

To be fair, Sonic is the type of character who probably shouldn’t have a “knight and damsel” relationship like we see so often. Whomever he ends up with, if anyone, I’m hoping it’s as different as Sonic is.

Right now, I'm just really hoping the replaced music for Origins on Sonic 3 & Knuckles isn't the PC version, because I really don't like those tracks.

Well, I'm glad I have my copy of Super Bomberman R. On a physical card. I can play that forever.

These are not classics. These are just old.

Come on, Nintendo, you've got a better available backlog than this.

Remember when Inafune said "it's better than nothing?"

In this case? "Nothing" would be better.

"Playful hypothetical thinking."

You can put that on your job application to Subway.

I'll just wait for the standard versions of all these games to be ported to run natively. I will not pay for Cloud versions. At all.

Um, okay, but Mega Man Battle Network Collection when?

Or Mega Man 12 for that matter?

Or how about the Disney Afternoon Collection on Switch?

Or maybe work with WayForward and re-list DuckTales Remastered?

Viewtiful Joe 3, anyone?

Hey, how about Bionic Commando or ActRaiser 2 on NSO? That one wouldn't take too much effort, would it?

Or... dare I ask... Mega Man Legends 3?

Oh, gosh, my favorite Sword & Shield starter and it's one of their best ones yet? They really want me back in their stores after they finished the MLP line, don't they? ;_;

If Ol' Stone Cold actually plays Zelda games, I feel much better about my hobby from the fan side of things... even though Majora's Mask is the actual right answer.

How about just giving me the $500,000, Ninja. I promise it'll be a better use of that money.

Y'know, if it's the last character, I say leave Lab Coat 21 overpowered. The fusions need to be stopped.

I think you mean they terminated their license in 1984 or 1994? At least I hope so, I don't think they had video games that far back. ^^;

Honestly, I'm really getting frustrated at this whole Ms. Pac-Man nonsense. We're missing out on a lot of Pac games because of it and I'm blaming AtGames entirely on this.

Brings a whole new meaning to "the cake is a lie."

Well, more like, "the lie is a cake?" How we wanna call this one?

It's a shame the rights to Ms. Pac-Man are tied up in another legal mess in video gaming. Having Ms. Pac-Man and Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures to round out this collection would have been wonderful.

@EVIL-C @farrgazer @Aurumonado

Technodrome: Let’s kick shell!

As much as I love seeing Choco Mountain again, Ninja Hideaway is a really solid course. It's just a shame it wasn't called "Ninji Hideaway" to keep with the Super Mario Bros. world theming.

Honestly, I saw all this and uninstalled the game from my Switch. No thank you.

@faint It is! I hope it keeps up.

This is literally everything I have wanted from a TMNT collection, right down to the name itself. These games were such a huge part of my childhood and I can’t wait to own them all in one collection.

This is Day 1 for me. Konami, please don’t screw this up. Master the emulation, do your part to make sure the online multiplayer works well… and if you wanna throw in a coupon for pizza for old time’s sake, I won’t complain.

Shoot, I'm down for that! Bring over the other Chex Quest games too!

I am missing one game from this list.

heads to the eShop

I am not missing a game on this list!

(It was Disco Elysium, btw...)

I'm going to be going on wait-and-see mode for this one. I like to believe that this kind of release isn't going to be just a total cash grab and that they want to earn customers on the Nintendo side of things to improve their brand name, but I was not impressed with the tech test, so, yeah, I'll wait for the reviews and the first couple of patches.

I've got 'em all already, so this may be a pass for me, but ideally, I'd like to see Split the Room, Quiplash, and Fibbage in a pack together.

Well, I mean, Majora's Mask is my favorite game of all time, so, I'm not gonna argue. <3

Casey Jones would be a good add too. I'd also like to see Shredder unlockable after you beat the game. That'd be fun.

Best. Article. Ever.

We need more Pokémon collaborative meetings.

And I know we need this because I took the time to actually put in the alt-code for the é in Pokémon.

(alt+1410, btw!)

If one of these isn't a "Punt-a-Nermal" game, I'm considering this whole plan a loss.

Though, tbh, wouldn't mind seeing an attempt at a Pet Force game, based on the Garfield novels from way back when.

I've archived it since I can't play it anyway, but I'll /never/ delete the icon from my home screen. We remember, we hope.

I will not play or purchase any video games utilizing NFTs or cryptocurrency.

End of statement.

I get it. Perhaps more so than any other generation, the Wii was so behind the PS3 and 360 in terms of hardware power... getting to play in an HD spectrum was very interesting to young, budding developers, and Nintendo was still in the Standard Definition playground.

I don't think it turned out too badly for Nintendo, though, considering all the Wiis they sold. For as young as HD was at the time, it was probably the right call for them in the end.

But, again, I get it.

There needs to be a true form of historical game preservation for all games. Make something like an International Video Game Archive that also releases games available for download to customers so we can research and experience games of yore and never /ever/ lose them.

Game industry, it's time to stop being greedy with your back catalog and submit your libraries for this form of preservation. Focus your efforts forward. Let the historians who want to be historians for this medium preserve your efforts.

I enjoy it, but after hopping into New Leaf to get a record of my neighbors, I was disappointed to see how many cool furniture items (like the Arwing, the Splatoon stuff, and the Triforce) didn't make the cut into New Horizons. I'm also sad we won't be getting the Shrunk dance emote. Alas!

Oh hello there insta-buy.

I personally enjoyed the gameplay, but it did feel like a strong departure from the Metroid feel. And seeing Samus so tiny compared to other human characters was kinda jarring. I appreciate the attempt to do something more character-wise was there, and I don't hate on the Ridley stuff as much as others, but it's on the lower side of middle of the road for me, I think. But definitely not a waste and I would play it again.
