Ha! What if you want to sell your current Switch in order to finance a rather good chunk of the new one? You can't transfer files with the two units together...

So it doesn't apply to individual fighters purchases? A shame, really. I'm only interested in three of them.

And I guess they'll all be released before the pending Arcade Archives.

It could have been done years ago and it would have arrived to the West like all previous main entries, though.

Didn't know about this, it wasn't previously announced either (although this is classic Hamster), and I'll definitely consider buying it. After all, it introduced the first female in a fighting game!

What does it mean Pac-man takes the Japanese ROM for most of the game?

Anyway, I have it on Namco Museum, but Xevious arcade version is a game I don't own in any form, so I'll get it eventually.

Good thing that Namco has joined Hamster, but those games have actually been available many times even on this console, and make the scheduled ones come even later.

What I'd like to know is "what happens if your subscription ends before the arrival of the new one? Do we have to wait until that day without an active subscription?"

Why calling it Advance if there's Castlevania: Dracula X there too, regardless of which version ends up being? Why not just releasing a Castlevania Anniversary Collection vol. 2 with several games, of course GBA and SNES/PC Engine but also DS, Game Boy's Legends and Symphony of the Night? I'm not asking a crazy thing here.

I guess we'll never see the Nintendo 64 entries collected, though. And those would be really useful (as GBA rereleases are) due to their current market value.

I don't know how they're going to manage physical editions. Even if Cotton 100% and Panorama Cotton stay in Strictly Limited Games.

The Saturn collection is a standalone release, and not a SLG exclusive (let's hope it comes to standard stores as Cotton Reboot did, and at a similar low price), but what are they going to do with the SNES and Mega Drive entries? A Cotton 16-bit Collection? I wish! As long as it comes to stores too. That would leave Rainbow Cotton (Dreamcast) as the only title in the series not re-released.

Up to 75% as long as it's not a Nintendo game. They should just say "in this week's sales there would be some Nintendo games". It's not a Nintendo sale with hundreds of sales.

@Clyde_Radcliffe I know, but there was a lot of press coverage of SOR4, yet Cruis'n Blast didn't even have reviews ahead of its launch for people to 1. know about it and 2. Make an informed decision. So yes, they can still buy it, but without preorder bonuses, discounts, et cetera.

People are loving this game, but it's certainly weird how Nintendo hasn't made any marketing. And I see very few reviews out there, and the ones that got published suffered some kind of review embargo, unexplicable with a game like this. I think that hurt the sales a lot.

People that has played it loves it, and a lot of comments they get go in the lines of "wow, it looks interesting, didn't know about it". And that's a problem.

Besides, the physical version is really cheap, even cheaper than digital! (well, that's what always happens day one, at least)

"All versions of Jungle Book"? Well, then I guess my copy of Master System's version is an unlicensed one.

Every time some retro game is re-released in any form there has to be a percentage of people whining. Just don't buy them, really.

There are a lot of people here that love retro games and are happy to see them re-released at prices extremely more affordable than before.

@BionicDodo That idea crossed my mind, and I've purchased games "imported from" in my local Amazon before, but this particular one seems to be a somewhat limited release, so I'm afraid I won't be that lucky. I'm from Barcelona, Catalonia, by the way.

@BionicDodo I wish I could, but it turns out the physical version is a Game exclusive in Spanish territories, and that people is known for high prices (and unsealed "new" games, but that's a story for another day). Not even in Amazon can I find it. Of course I could buy it from Pix'n Love, but the price there is higher and with shipping.

Kemco sales... again? It's almost every week. Don't know any of the games.

Good news for those who had already bought some (or all) of the Neo Geo Pocket Color titles and then had to see how a collection was announced and with added exclusive games. Well, there have to be options for everyone. I for one prefer the collection because I didn't buy any of the games, but I salute this particular release for those who will take advantage of it.

@Yorumi OK, thanks. That "digical" joke is confusing as hell.

@Yorumi But then there isn't a working cartridge that people can insert into a real NES, right?

Wait a minute. So it's not a real NES cartridge? And didn't we already own digital games as long as we didn't delete them or the console broke?

I've already preordered it, but the noticeable review embargo is a shoot in the foot, with a game not so well known and not exactly an AAA with a plot that can be spoilt. Many people will hold off but then will lose any potential preorder bonus.

Sure. Let's do it. Then some of the haters will become adorers of the Switch version of this underrated gem.

@Res462 Not what I was saying, but whatever. Let's end the off topic.

@Res462 I don't know, but it's too much of a coincidence that he arrived and the time-limited stuff trend started, America must have some kind of influence, right?

@darkswabber Didn't know. Well, in this case it's a coincidence with some of the Bowser era policies in Nintendo.

So Nintendo policy in Lego too, huh?

Well, my daughter and my nephew and niece have a couple sets and I gotta say they played them twice or thrice out of curiosity and after that the sets began collecting dust. Sadly this is what I feared that would happen when they first announced the Lego Mario line. It's certainly a limited concept when it comes to actually play it. A couple laps triggering sounds and then what? A thought I had as a grumpy grown up, but apparently 4 to 7 year old kids feel the same.

I didn't know about this one either, nor it was previously announced. Looks like fun.

A new game. Cool. Hope to see it physically in the West. But... Why to announce it as a 35th anniversary celebration if it won't be completed this year?

I hope it's not a new collection with a couple more games included. That would punish early adopters.

@BananaMetallurgica Yes, I believe you. But they said something about 750 games being in those stores, so at the moment they are missing a lot, and among them the ones I'm interested in sadly...

@path4smash Then maybe the problem is they don't have all the games (yet, hopefully).

Anyway, if they didn't have an eShop until now, how did people buy the games?

@BananaMetallurgica Jesus H. Me too LOL But I can't find prices for Argentina, Peru...

@BananaMetallurgica Well, in one that I thought was very well known called eshop prices... these new stores didn't appear an hour ago, at least. Could you point me in the right direction, please?

@BananaMetallurgica A pity, then. We'll have to try Peru. Now it's a matter of those stores being included in the known websites that compare prices. Because switching regions and checking prices individually is also a pain in the ass.

@BananaMetallurgica Great, I'll have to try then. In Xbox, as I said, I can only buy, with my Mexican Paypal, in Mexico. I thought it would be the same in the Switch eShop. Thanks.

@BananaMetallurgica If it's a payment option, it will definitely have to be an Argentinian Paypal.

@abdias That's my problem. I don't even buy in Japan, because the prepaid cards are a pain in the ass. I have a Revolut Card, which allows to pay with many currencies with official exchange, no commissions, and that's what I use to buy in European countries that don't use the euro as currency, but in Xbox I haven't been able to buy anything from Argentina. I'll wait until these eShops have been working for a few days and see what options are there. Thanks.

@abdias That would be great, but the main problem is to have a valid payment method. I can buy in Mexican eShop thanks to a Mexican Paypal that I was able to create in a way that currently doesn't work, but somehow it remains a valid payment method for me. If only it was easier in Argentina... With a Revolut card, not asking too much.

Really looking forward to get this game, but the really low price for the retail release makes me worry that they don't take themselves seriously. I wish I can read some review before release date...

That would be great. I never had the chance to play them back in their time.

The price will drop eventually. Next.

By the way, the Master System version isn't mentioned in the article. It's the one I have, so it does exist.

They're gonna add Pinocchio in 2022. Mark my words.

No, it's cool that we have the chance to play different versions of these games, but not that cool that they do this to early adopters.

Now it's more attractive, but a low blow to those who bought the original package.

They're vultures.

I like when they release games previously unannounced, but please remember there was a queue LOL

I've been wanting Trio the Punch... It's taking forever.

Available to everyone would have been a not limited physical release in time. Now, as some people says, is too late, as we've been "treated" with a selection in physical form, and we won't be double dipping.

I, for one, didn't buy that little collection, but if the complete one is going to be digital-only -which could have arrived anyway a year and a half ago-, I'll certainly wait for a massive discount.

Never played a Picross game, but this one might be the one.

Oh... My 3 yo daughter loves it, although I haven't really played it, despite having interest in it. I was planning on doing it at some point. I can let her play previous entries on console, but touch controls really suit this game.

Why not just let people play without the premium stuff? If Mario Kart World Tour and Super Mario Run end up shut down too, I'll never download a freemium game by Nintendo again, let alone purchasing the paid version as in Super Mario Run.
