Oh well too late, I already played and beat that recently, but glad they gave it some TLC nonetheless.

I'd still take the long lost Chrono Break if that's what's in the works. Otherwise, I feel they might go for an HD 2D look of CT.

Crazy the highs of Shovel Knight and the era that followed... and with only their sophomore effort, they're reduced to this. Damn, nothing's promised. I'm pulling for you Yacht Club, and I'm looking forward to Mina the Hollower. Just... don't keep it at release date 2030 please.

So maybe a Shadow spinoff? Knuckles Chaotix? Tails Adventure?

I love these comments. Secret of Evermore mentions, Mana fans missing opportunities to play LoM. On the former, it's criminal it's locked in SE jail since the defunct Square USA developed it, so we we'll likely never see it outside of emulation. On LoM, I myself had just come off the glory train that was Secret of Mana, so when I knew there was a follow-up I was very hyped, but I didn't have a PlayStation and wasn't likely to have one soon in those days. The worst part is though I have yet to play it, I've heard that it's a divisive entry, so I constantly stay on the fence about giving it a shot or not. I don't know if I'll ever play LoM...

I agree about NA having the classic comic book look, and it's still a fav. I voted for JP because it went hard, like ALL the way in.

I'm continuing through The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom. So nice to play a 2D Zelda again; Lots of fun. I just scooped Over the Horizon X Steel Empire for my retro weekend fix... I felt like playing some old school shmup action. I may get in some more Karateka if time permits.

PiT was fun, if not sometimes tedious for me with the 4 character, 1 button each setup for fights, but I loved it. And the surprise about the Koopalings being in it? Loved it too. Decent music as well. I honestly didn't know it got flak, but mileage varies, I guess.

It's likely been said already but, Mega Man Legends Collection is what I want to see next.

StarFox seems to be in limbo anyway, so I'm fine with a StarFox-alike by one of the original programmers. It looks REAL nice.

Nice lineup. Since it took them this long to release NGII, that means StarTropics 2: Zoda's Revenge is right around the corner, right...?

Still vaporware until further notice.

This is more my goal than getting a Switch 2. I shouldn't be surprised about this news, but... 😮‍💨

I'll continue on with Karateka and chip away some more at Pokemon Legends Arceus.

Picross honestly is my favorite of all the puzzle games I've ever played in my lifetime. I first started with Mario Picross on Game Boy and completed that, and I'm slowly working my way through Mario's Super Picross on NSO. If I ever finish that, I'll join in on Jupiter's work play some of their games, maybe even one of these crossovers.

I inadvertently became a fan of R-Type by playing Super R-Type from my local Blockbuster for SNES back in the day. I've dabbled on and off with the series, got a chance to realize just how hard it can get, and even took a stab at Final until I got locked in a stage that I could not get out of so bad that I had to just put the game down. Yet, I love the gameplay mechanism of R-Type, so I will give Delta a shot when I can since I've heard lots of good things about it.

Those guys went MIA from the news... I wondered what they've gotten up to lately.

This reminds me of the days where I had several memory cards for GCN-- I guess those days are back. I don't like it, but...

I'm just here to say that it hasn't begun in NA yet, perhaps starting tomorrow? But this gives me hope for a lot of games having a hard sale real soon. I don't know if my wallet is ready, but I am 😂

I'm impressed, they fit their characters even better than I thought they would.

I beat Chrono Cross last weekend, so this week I'm just trudging slowly through Pokemon Legends Arceus and getting formally into Karateka.

To quote Charlie Brown, "ARRRRGH!"

Junior is so confusing to me visually and aurally.

Activision would be amazing and I'd be all over it. This collection is amazing too, though. Probably one of the most impossible deep cuts I'd love to see would be Donkey Kong for Atari, but I'm sure Nintendo wouldn't budge on that.

Guess its official-- The Switch 2 prints money. Seems no 3rd party can resist, even those that resisted Switch 1.

Is this actually possible in real life?

I don't have a Switch 2 yet, but this is one thing of note that I need to keep in mind. My grand plan is to give my Switch 1 to my mom but I need to make sure that all of the remaining games that I still wanted to play are compatible on Switch 2.

Seems like this update was more for Switch 2 even though Switch 1 updated as well.

So you can update the Switch 2 Pro Controller over air? Good to know compared to the Switch 1 Pro Controller that needed the cable.

SOL-AVES seems so close to Solvalou in my mind... Coincidence?

Key art will always win for me, so even though NA is endearingly cheesy, JP takes it for me. Europe is ok but too busy for me.

I think I'm approaching the final fight in Chrono Cross, so I'm prepping my final character lineup just in case. I'd love to game this beaten this weekend, so we'll see. I may sprinkle in Rocket League, but not much else.

I swear I thought about this game the other day, and yes, I did have the pleasure of playing it to completion-- I just couldn't remember how good it was, or how much it was overshadowed by Red Dead Redemption. Thanks for reminding me that it was a worthy time sink in those Rockstar dominated days. A lot of the deeper Gamecube library is a blur for me, so it's good to hear about these other games. Here's another deep cut-- True Crime: Streets of L.A. as a GTA-like.

Happy 20th NL, and wishes for many more. I had to double check my profile... I've been here 15 of those years, holy cow. Prior to that I split my time between hanging out on IGN and GameFAQs. I know Nintendo was going through a lot of changes those years, and it just seemed like everywhere I turned, people were just reporting Nintendo news just to dump on them, rather than just give us a day in the life of Nintendo, with still factual, relevant information, and have a little fun with it for better or worse. That's when I started searching for Nintendo themed internet outlets and stumbled upon Nintendo Life. I loved the humanity of the articles, the wit, and even the comments didn't have an excessive amount of flamers so I could actually enjoy commenting. I can honestly say I have checked back with this website dedicatedly since I've been here every single day, rarely missing a day here and there. I found it refreshing that it seemed to be an effort on both sides of the pond, and also had people that were my own age which made it even easier. So in return I just want to say thank you guys for being my number one outlet for any and all Nintendo related news and for being the great staff that you guys are. No one knows what the future holds but as long as you can maintain the spirit of this site I know it'll be around a lot longer. Cheers everyone.

I can see his point. The further back in time you go, the more Wild West it was, with devs taking more chances because no one knew what would be successful-- Then once they learn what was successful, they started playing it a lot safer to ensure profit. Overall you need a little of everything in the industry. You need chance takers even if the project fails, and you also need more of what works. State of affairs, that.

Long time Double Dragon fan here. I wasn't a fan when I saw it first revealed, but I kept an open mind. Then I saw the gameplay, and it looked a little alpha build, so I figured it needed more time in the oven. Then the final product comes-- Yeah, I can see it missed the mark. With all the brawler revivals going on, this already had an uphill climb, so they reeeally needed to come with the goods. Like someone mentioned, give it to Dotemu or the like cause Yukes wasn't going to bring out the best in DD. I'm still going to give it a go with my fellow DD fan friend, but we'll temper our expectations.

If only Rare was worth pursuing...

It's... really happening...

Is it pronounced VEE-OH-LUH or voilà?

@JimNorman That tagline... Yes. 👍🏽

AI handling QA... Ooooh, I dunno, B...

I'd rather see a remake of LoZ1 than LttP, but wouldn't be mad for the sake of the modern generation. Chrono Trigger I could tolerate a 2D-HD remake.

Chrono Trigger good ending fireworks. Pairs well with the music.

DE's been pretty stellar as of late, so this is disappointing, but I'm glad they're doing what they can to improve things. No one can hit a homer all the time. Hopefully it all works out.

Leon Scott Kennedy. I've said enough.

Chrono Cross I feel is nearing completion. SPOILERS FOR THOSE THAT NEVER PLAYED IT AND HOPE TO

Hopefully I'm about to get Serge's body back as it's been... interesting being Lynx for like, half the game? I can't believe the amount of characters I've obtained just in GP. Definitely it's own experience separate from Chrono Trigger, which I'm a huge fan of, but that not a bad thing.

Glad to hear. The Shantae series has become a part of me now a lot like Mario and Zelda. Has she got ponytails now?! Oh boy, can't wait to see what gameplay elements that opens up for her.

Wonderful, wonderful, I'm glad these reviewed well, as well. I'll be sure to finally lay hands on the Erdrick trilogy as soon as my backlog will allow.

Huh... I feel like I've heard of this, but I guess not. I'll keep it in mind.

Guess they had to get that mouse support in there.
