All these games often go cheaper at retail. There are more options than the eShop.

Performance issues in a 2D pixel art game? Maybe the devs should get a different job?

There are frightening 1960s dystopian scifi stories about people wasting their survival rations, trading them for costumes for their dolls.

Suddenly paying $60 for a proper game feels much more of an attractive option.

@GrailUK ahh yes, I agree. I would love for Prime 4 to have a usable ship.

Shame there is no talk of a Samus ship and suit for Switch. Missed opportunity.

Unless Ryan Reynolds is a midget with a red hat and steel bum, this is cultural appropriation.

I got bored half way through all three, plus the Travis Returns game and turned them all off. Would I buy another one? ... I want to say no, but I do stupid things sometimes.

I think owning an original copy of the game, gives you more legal options when it comes to emulating. It certainly gives more ease of access after Nintendo discontinues their online 'services'.

I like having the cartridge so I can swap or lend the game to friends.

I'm not paying $60 for an old game. I hope they release this at $20-25.

I still hope Samus' ship and power suit are included in the switch version.

I don't want multiplayer. Im not getting NSO anyway.

I chose Japan because the other two look too much like an actual resident evil game. Japan one has loads going on, which might give a clue that this isn't a survival horror game, and it's a naff arena shooter which reuses some assets from better games.

Tunic. Its nice that a new game that I want to play came out on switch.

I've found a small USB vacuum cleaner really helps with the dust that piles up around Splatoon 2. Not sure if I want to get Splatoon 3 just yet. It might create more housework.

I'm not paying $30 for an indie game with performance issues. May pick this up on steam, I have ordered a deck. I'm in no rush though, I can wait for a sale.

They should port Shattered Memories to Switch.

I'll wait for the reviews and probably a sale and also 2023.

Please let there be a Samus Armour and ship for the Switch version.

I'm glad this is a single player experience because I have no intention of paying for NSO.

@Iconoclysm other platforms enable access to new games. NSO had the least value for money. To play this old 007 game, you need to pay for the more expensive tier. Either way I look at it, it is really expensive for what is on offer.

So Xbox players get to buy an enhanced version of the game but Nintendo players can only borrow it via an expensive subscription? Is this the case? Rather lame if it is.

Yes, I think it is time for a massive sale.

I wouldn't mind a bit more Metroid Dread. Dread was too short a game.

I like the look of this game but I doubt the devs will put a Nintendo level of attention into getting it to run well, so I doubt it will be an enjoyable experience on switch.

This is not a best of list. It is all of the games on Nintendo consoles, from worst to best. The tail end of the list is the best of list. The first few are stinkers.

While these games are great, they are way too hard for me. I can only play them with cheat codes. So I rank the games that allow cheat codes higher.

Looks interesting. I hope it runs well on Switch. Won't pay $60 for this but would totally pick it up one day, when cheap.

@steventonysmith you just did argue, and you lost the argument. Putting you on ignore now. Have a lovely day!

@steventonysmith Bowser broke the law. I don't want to be a pirate or break the law. it is not illegal to do whatever you like with your own property, if it has no impact on anyone else. Show me the law that says it is. Your quote from Nintendo wasn't a law and wasn't relevant to privately using a rom from a game you own. Besides, I didn't say I did any of this stuff, just said I could, and it would be legal. Show me a real UK law that says it isn't legal. Section 50(A) of the 1988 Copyright, Designs and Patents Act says it is legal.

@steventonysmith well, your understanding is wrong here too. You do not need any of these devices to create a backup from a GameCube disk that you legally own. I'm not going to tell you how it is done, but it is clear you wont understand. Besides, it is only illegal to distribute software, online; giving it to people who didn't pay for it. I'm talking about using the software you own, any way you like, without selling anything and without purchasing a device to circumvent any kind of copy protection, because you don't need to. Besides, Japanese companies do not make UK law. Nobody has ever been prosecuted for making a backup of their own videogame disk for their own personal use in the UK, ever, because it isn't illegal. I'll just add, that you can find emulators on the play store, microsoft store, steam and all over the place, because they are also not illegal, when used with software you bought legally.

@steventonysmith weird that this software runs on computers isn't it? Next you'll say, with it's ATI gpu and IBM cpu, ram, motherboard and interchangeable operating system, a GameCube isn't a computer either. But you are wrong. The Oxford dictionary defines a computer as "an electronic machine that can store, organize and find information, do processes with numbers and other data"... But really this is like me telling someone the earth is round so I'm not going to explain any more.

@steventonysmith the exact wording from the UK government document is: It is not an infringement of copyright for a lawful user of a copy of a computer program to make any back up copy of it which it is necessary for him to have for the purposes of his lawful use.

@steventonysmith in the UK in the 80s especially, Sega, NES, all that where known as computer games. It's not a nice try, it's the law. Fact.

@steventonysmith Section 50(A) of the 1988 Copyright, Designs and Patents Act, legal purchasers of computer games are explicitly permitted to make a backup copy of their purchase.

@steventonysmith I own the game. UK law states that you are allowed a backup copy of software that you legally own.

@steventonysmith It's my disk, I paid for it and I can do whatever I like with it in the privacy of my own home. None of Nintendo's business.

Virtual console ranks above all of these NSO games.

@steventonysmith either way it is a win. Playing a dump of my GameCube disk is fine. Playing an official remaster, with extra features and surprises for $60 could be better, but you know Nintendo rarely goes the extra mile.

I wonder whether the Metroid, Zelda, F-Zero GameCube remasters will release before my steam deck arrives?

I'm not sure Pixel art in 4K is a selling point for me and I'm not sure this can be delivered on a Switch either.

Lots of people downplaying the importance of 3D on the 3DS. I know Nintendo did the same, probably due to tabloid tales of the effect on kids eyes, but for me the 3D effect was the whole point of the 3DS. Games were low res, nowhere near as good graphics as the vita but it was in 3D, so it was better. First time I saw that 3D I thought it was some kind of impossible voodoo.

@glaemay Electricity bill becomes a factor in gaming. Are you from Europe?

@OnlyItsMeReid you might be on to something. But could it mean that this game is 1/3 Splatoon 1, 1/3 Splatoon 2 and 1/3 Splatoon 3? Coincidence? We may never know.

Version 1.1.1...yet more compelling evidence that this is just Splatoon 1 in a different box?

True horror in gaming right here.
