I was scared off of the first game by the below average reviews.
Its user rating on Steam is below average as well.

I'll stick with the old NES Kunio stuff for now, and the first River City Girls and Zero.

Getting:
Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition
though I was hoping for better reviews after the hands-on previews seemed like gushing praise...
Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown Deluxe Edition
Arcade Archives TINKLE PIT
A Japanese exclusive, I'm pretty sure this its debut in the West.

It looks like no physical edition for North America.
I see physical for sale from Europe, but am worried North America eShop DLC wouldn't work with it.

So I'll probably end up getting it digital to be on the safe side.

There was a launch sale, but it ended before reviews came out.
Always be on the safe side when it comes to Switch ports...

Hooray for Japanese curios!

Yeah they were delisted because China pressured them for having a "Taiwan" team (I suppose I should put "allegedly" in there...but it's pretty obvious).

Definitely:
Parasol Stars: The Story of Bubble Bobble III

Maybe:
Muv-Luv Alternative Remastered
(solid MetaCritic score on original release and Steam users love it)

Waiting to make sure the Switch port is good:
Darkest Dungeon II

Kids love fart noise apps.

Pokemon: Fart

Unique fart noises for over 1,000 Pokemon.
It would make a billion dollars in a week.

I've heard some people say that in "The Pit of 100 Trials", you can make the difficulty closer to the original game, if you lose a battle, exit the Pit instead of simply retrying.

That should get you some of the frustration you're longing for!

From what I understand, any game you choose to start with will spoil something from prior games. So it's best to go as far back as you can to get the most out of the series.

It's kind of like saying: "So you want to get into the MCU? It's totally okay to just watch the 'Avengers' movies and skip everything else."

Most MCU fans would say: "...no. Do not do that! You're missing so much if you do that!"

The Legend of Heroes: Trails through Daybreak is the star this week, part of the looong Trails series, itself part of the even longer The Legend of Heroes series...

Cyber Citizen Shockman Zero was not only a Super Famicom Japan-exclusive, it was a Satellaview release not available physically at the time. Satellaview was a magical device where you could download games through satellite broadcasts.

The other 3 Cyber Citizen Shockman games are on Switch. Some of them were also Japan-exclusives at the time.

IGN had it #13 on their Top 100 NES Games list.

You are the outlier! (insert smiley face here)

2 quality Rare games (Cobra Triangle and Solar Jetman) and that Mystery of Atlantis Japan-exclusive curio.

A good day!

@Vyacheslav333

Thank you for the heads-up about the file size. I'll definitely go physical.

Commenters were so blind with rage that someone would give a low score to any Puyo Puyo game, that they missed the Chemical Brothers reference!

Europe emphasized the swinging, so I went with that.

It seems to me that Nintendo is suspiciously avoiding putting GameCube games on the Switch.

My prediction, is that when they announce the "Switch 2", they will announce they are adding GameCube games to the NSO, but only available on the new console, to drive sales of the new box.

These games are hilarious. Easy sell for me.

@Lizuka

Have you read the hands-on previews?

A lot of people are speculating that if this sells well, that it could be followed up with an SNES Edition, N64 Edition, GameCube edition.

But I haven't heard anyone speculate, what I hope, that it's possible they could in future expand the NES Edition to have even more games in addition to the existing 13 games. Maybe Punch-Out!!, Tetris, Dr. Mario, Mario Bros., Ice Hockey.

Or what if it expanded to 3rd party stuff?
How about a Capcom pack: Mega Man 1-6, Gargoyle's Quest II, Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers, DuckTales, Bionic Commando, Ghosts 'n Goblins, 1943: The Battle of Midway.
How about a Konami pack: Contra & Super C, Castlevania I-III, Jackal, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles I-III, Bucky O'Hare, Blades of Steel, Gradius.

I could definitely see them adding a game or 2 every month to keep people playing. That's the Nintendo way.

These 2 classics:

• Luigi's Mansion 2 HD
• Beyond Good & Evil 20th Anniversary Edition

And

• Tsukihime -A piece of blue glass moon-
  is a remake of a 24 year-old Japan-exclusive visual novel. It is very well regarded.
• Witch on the Holy Night
  is another visual novel already on Switch which is a prequel to Tsukihime, and recommended to play first, to get acquainted with its world.
• Melty Blood: TYPE LUMINA
  is a fighting game already on Switch that is also in the same universe as the above 2 games.

And down the rabbit hole we go....

I let them know that I love having so many classic games, that I look forward to seeing it crossover to the "Switch 2", and look forward to other consoles like "GameCube" being added in future.

I would click on: "It should cost less...but it's fine."

I would also click on: "What are we going to do?...not buy it?"

Over the past week, a DC comics cover artist was just caught and exposed by another industry artist.

What gave it away was the bottom of the "S" on Superman's chest was duplicated, like 2 endloops. Kind of like how A.I. art often gives people 3 arms, etc.

I was mostly interested in this for the multiplayer.
So I'm thinking I'll skip this...

These lists are created from NL user ratings. You can rate any N64 game by clicking "Games" at the top of the page, filter by N64, or search for any game. If any game has a high enough average user score and enough user ratings, it will appear on the Top 50 list.

This is my biggest re-release let-down since GTA Trilogy.

The consensus on that one is that it will NEVER be worth buying, and I imagine it is the same for this Battlefront.

The interest in both is through the roof. That both managed to be bungled so spectacularly, is actually impressive.

Just give me that sweet, sweet Conker!

A rushed Silksong is bad forever.
A delayed Silksong will never come out at all.

The thought never crossed my mind that a Gimmick! sequel could even be a possibility!

Yeah, all the horror stories have scared me off of even contemplating getting an LRG release physical. But I'll gladly scoop up their digital offerings.

Star Luster is a Famicom game released exclusively in Japan. So I was already interested, the fact that it is well-regarded is a no-brainer for me.

The top 3 featured games are all on my radar, but I'm waiting for reviews.

The Scouring of the Shire DLC expansion looks promising.

(that's a joke for LOTR readers)

Currently Turok: Dinosaur Hunter would be ranked #56
Now that it's on NSO, maybe it could sneak on there someday.

Since your comment, Turok 2: Seeds of Evil is now #37.

#7 Perfect Dark is also now on NSO!

#1 & #4 best GBA games added to the NSO on the same day!

What a time to be alive!

Conker's Bad Fur Day CONFIRMED!!!

They said it couldn't be done!
They said the NSO is for all ages!
It was impossible!
This is one giant leap for mankind!

Zelda's Awakening

I think it's really cool that some of the challenges (legend challenges?) are like "beat Super Mario Bros." and "beat Super Mario Bros. without warping".

I thought they were only going to be little bite-sized ones. These long ones are essentially the trophies/achievements I've been clamouring for, for the NSO!

I picked:

• Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics because MvC 2 and The Punisher are fighter and beat 'em up classics (respectively).
• Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition because, I am old, and I didn't realize that some challenges are like: "beat Super Mario Bros.", and "beat Super Mario Bros. without warping". That's incredible! It's basically trophies/achievements that I've been clamouring for! Up until now I thought they were all tiny bite-sized challenges, but this is very, very cool!
• The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom (Switch), which I will call Zelda's Awakening, and no one can stop me!

Everyone last year: "I wonder if someone will make a 2D game like TOTK?"

Nintendo (secretly): "...........hehe..."

On Ranker.com, nearly 10,000 people have voted on a list of
"The Greatest Fighting Games Ever Made".

Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes is #2
(behind only Street Fighter III: Third Strike)

A while ago I googled around for lists of the best beat 'em up games. I looked for lists at least 25 games long. I found 5 qualifying lists. I ended up with 58 unique games.

The Punisher ended up tied for the #10 best beat 'em up.
At the time it was said to be "the goriest arcade game since Mortal Kombat".

Looks like, with the Princess Peach game, it's really for younger gamers, so I'll pass.

@outsider83

From all the previews I've seen, it looks like it's for families with small children. One or two rides, and the rest is like a Mario-themed local city park playground with the added bonus of having to wait in line after line after line for all of that. And wow, you can wait in another long line to eat a $20 cupcake with Yoshi's face on it, etc.

TurboGrafx? Maybe...and Saturn...maybe.

I imagine they will add GameCube to the NSO, but only on the Switch 2. And DS, 3DS, Wii, etc. That should drive purchases for the new box.

A while ago I googled for lists of the best Sega Genesis games. I looked for long lists each at least 50 games long, that were ranked. I assigned points based on rank and added them all up. I was left with 16 lists, 396 unique games and 1,465 total entries.

Rocket Knight Adventures ended up the #14 best Sega Genesis game.

Sparkster was IGN's #87 best SNES game.

So I'm surprised people aren't picking that collection up?

I'm also getting Rider's Spirits as an SNES Japan-exclusive curio!

@GammaPhonic

Good question. Hopefully better than what's happening with Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance.

The Japanese one looks like a game for small children.
But Dragon Warrior was for geeky older kids who like strategy and math.

Rocket Knight and Luigi's Mansion for me.

Shin Megami Tensei being an enhanced version, I'm not even sure it will play well on Switch. That and I already have the "non-Vengeance" version, so I'm not sure if I should wait for the new one or load up on DLC of the old one (that are being delisted the day before the new one drops).

Yeah, but what are we going to do...not buy them?

Selling classics for full price = anger and outrage in the comments

Putting classics on the NSO = anger and outrage in the comments

Will get:

• Arcade Archives LEGION
• Picross S Namco Legendary Edition

And a good couple of reviews so far for:

• Master Key

It was the "Golden Age of Arcade Games". That suit is just a PR guy out of control.

Vast majority of console games at the time were inferior ports of arcade games, with the 2600 cornering the market on the best original console games. And the biggest and best developer of arcade games was also Atari. That's why it's "The Atari Age".

But I was a Coleco kid at 4 years old completely obsessed. Thank God the whole "screen time" scare wasn't a thing then!

• The 2 Paper games (I already have Paper Trail as it's on sale)
• Wizardry

Maybe the EGGCONSOLE Golvellius if it being in Japanese isn't a hindrance? I know it is one of the best games on Sega Master System.
