@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.

@Stocksy You must be talking about Capcom Beat'em Up Bundle. It's not Japan exclusive, unless you mean physically. Then yes. Well, anyway it's a collection of 7 Capcom games only.

@Stocksy First time. Ever (on consoles), I would even say.

About the censorship, what's the point in keeping the option to select original version if the things that were different from the Western release are removed anyway?

Totally agree with the writer. I'm sick of people complaining about what is essentially a perk of a subscription that people pay in order to play online anyway. SNES and NES games are an addition. You don't like them? Fine. You didn't pay the fee for them anyway.

Plus, I love having the opportunity to play obscure games instead of (well, besides) the must haves we see again and again, most of which we already have on cartridges, Virtual Consoles or mini consoles.

I guess the review has been upped in wake of the physical edition arriving to the West. Good call. It's a shame, though, that my usual store hasn't delivered it to me yet (it was supposed to arrive yesterday). By the way, having it on Astro City Mini I preordered it mainly for the superior X68000 version, although I found a review that deemed it not really accurate, but I guess you have to own the original too to see the difference, and I'm not rich enough.

I'm gonna die a lot, I suck at shmups, but love cute'em ups and at least I'm gonna try it. I hope it sells well enough to warrant a western release of the Saturn collection and also the new entry due to release in late 2021.

@Emperor-Palpsy I totally agree with you. Even if you only want must-haves, we're talking about a subscription that costs small change, if you play it well. And it's a simple perk anyway. People pays online in order to play against others in modern games, mostly. So the comment section of these articles is always full of complaints about a free addition. Nonsense.

Good, I love obscure games, but I miss NES additions here. If they've abandoned it, they could have added 5 or 6 games to the SNES library instead.

@nesrocks I know about the title... What I'm asking is whether the plot has something to do with the first one. Everywhere I look it doesn't seem to be the case.

Definitely gonna get it, but I'd like to know, just out of curiosity, if there really is a connection between this one and Crime Fighters. People say Violent Storm is the third part, but I also heard that's a misconceptions. Any true connoisseur in the room who can shed light on this?

I hope they don't drop the charm or the medieval settings...

Aside from the fact that this loses the tradicional PC advantage of being able to enhance it with better parts, what's the real difference beside the initial storage capacity? I mean, if all the models have an SD slot, isn't it the best option to buy the cheapest one and then acquire an SD card, really affordable nowadays? What am I missing here? It's not an ironic question.

A little confused here. How many titles are going to be there? 2 with variants? And how do we count the unrelated ones also included?

@Danrenfroe2016 Glad to hear it. Let's hope they can do a similar job porting a game that's not from 2006 though.

An updated that arrives very late, these games were confirmed days ago as anyone can check in one of my previous comments, but anyway, great line-up.

Looks really interesting, I love this kind of racing games (suck at simulators), and I've always had an interest in the Cruisin' series, since its first entry on N64, although I've never had the chance to play it.

But what concerns me is the sadly traditional performance of racing games on Switch, with the exception of Mario Kart 8, and compared to more powerful consoles. Of course, it will be an exclusive and we won't be able to compare, but if it's not smooth we will be able to tell anyway.

@Tandy255 Oooh... (Homer Simpson drooling face)

@Tandy255 Nobody said Nintendo has abandoned the franchise or that there are no means to play the original arcade game on Switch, which I know is there and have already played it earlier to day as my particular hommage to the game. Still happy after a couple of years that despite the legal issues involved the game finally and legally was ported to a console 37 years after its debut on arcade cabinets.

But it's a little strange they didn't even do anything like a nod such as a tweet or a joint celebration with Google, that's all.

And Nintendo still has to make any kind of celebration. But if Zelda's 35th anniversary is just a remaster and a Game & Watch, I can't say I'm surprised. Just disappointed. But c'mon, we're talking about the 40th Anniversary of the game that saved Nintendo back in 1981, and of a legendary character. Even Mario's true anniversary, also 40th. Why the silence, Nintendo?

Wait, performance on PS4 and PS5 is just a little bit better? Then it's not the nth case of a bad and lazy Switch port. It doesn't perform well enough on the target systems either, right?

Anyway, after being unable to grab a copy of VIII because of its price skyrocketing and these performance issues I don't know if I'll play this series beyond I&II, which I have on the PC Engine Mini. A shame.

@Dragonslacker1 I don't know why, but I've been wondering the same for a long time. It looks like a missed chance here in the Egret II Mini.

@bubicus Actually they didn't. I forgot to put it in the list. It's one of the most recent announcements, weird because Nintendo Life article was already outdated when it was updated.

As long as they're not limited editions like SRG, LRG and the likes, yes, I'm excited. Good thing I didn't buy Panzer Dragoon Remake even when it was at 5 euro.

But I wish these physical releases were made available prior to their digital counterparts. A lot of people doesn't wait, buys immediately and then has to double dip if they want to have the physical editions.

@SpringDivorce I'm definitely going to use it, and I'll buy the one for Egret II Mini too, but I have to admit that for a quick session the mini cabinet itself is enough. At least for regular hands like mine.

These games were actually announced some time ago. The last ones are, according to Taito itself:

Dan-Ku-Ga (1995)
Darius Gaiden (1994)
Lupin III (1980)
The Ninja Kids (1990)
Outer Zone (1984)
Tatsujin (1988)
Volfied (1989)

And exclusive to the the Paddle & Trackball set:

Arkanoid: Revenge of DOH (1987)
Marine Date (1981)

@farrgazer I own an Astro City Mini and I have to say I bought the regular control pad too, but it surprised me how relatively comfortable was to play directly with the stick and buttons on the system itself. I expected it to be much worse. For me the main problem is the size of the screen, in order to play in long sessions, rather than the buttons.
