Cool! I was afraid these were going to be in the 60-70 dollar range. I've been wanting an 8bitdo controller for awhile now. I'll be purchasing 2 if these!
@Steel76 X's soundtrack took a long long time to grow on me. Its nothing compared to Chronicles beautiful soundtrack but it did become less grating as time went on, for me anyway.
Okay, if I didn't already have this game for PS4, I would buy it for the motion controls alone. I am not a fan of motion controls normally but I would love to pull off a kamehameha using them!
@DragonEleven Then hopefully is isn't a direct sequel. Not having seen the end of Chronicles 1, I wouldn't know if Shulk and gang continue their story afterwords.
I am glad that this release has nothing to do with the original or X as I have played both but have not fininished them. I am looking forward to exploring this world and wish Nintendo would re-release the Chronicles and X for the switch...while I'm wishing I would love for Nintendo to bring the Metroid Prime Triology to Switch as well!
Ugh. Must we wait until September? I haven't been genuinely excited for a game in a long time. What's worse is we don't know when Prime 4 will be released!
@gutsdozier A pc/console would be ideal. I think people were hoping that that's what the NES mini was going to be. I think they could make a lot of money off of those that just want older games.
@gutsdozier Yes those games are available on VC for $5. But $5 × 30 games is $150. Had Nintendo met demand those people would only had to spend $60. Also, alot of people I know that wanted the system have no other console that has the VC on it. So add another $100 or so on top of the $150. As I said, I don't blame people for pirating these games.
I know emulation is a moral grey area, but it is stuff like this that makes people turn to it. I for one don't blame them. It's almost like Nintendo wants you to show them how dedicated you are to their company. By waiting endlessly for the chance to preorder or stand in a line for hours on launch day just hoping the store has enough systems so you can join their secret club. Bravo Nintendo for alienating your customer base, Bravo.
@WOLF1313 I agree with you. Street Fighter 2 has been released how many times? I am surprised people are still buying what is essentially the same game from the early 90s.
The game is really good. I just finished my first playthrough and plan on one more before I try the dlc characters. This game is a blast! Ha ha, no pun intended.
I was lucky enough to get one a few weeks ago, but I can't find a second controller anywhere! When the classic was first released there were no systems but plenty of controllers. I should have bought one back then.
I would love to see a Dragon Quest collection released for Switch. I know Japan got one for the Wii a few years ago. On that note, a Final Fantasy collection would be cool too.
A lot of people I talk to really want a Switch but they say they don't want to pay 300 bucks for one. If Nintendo did a price drop, I'm sure sales would sky rocket.
I stopped by my local Best Buy hoping that maybe they got a few Switch's in Stock because of this sale. I walked back to the Nintendo aisle and much to my surprise, there sat one lonely grey joycon Switch. I couldn't believe my luck! I snatched it up and grabbed a copy of a Breath of the Wild.
I can see peoples complaint about launch games. The people at the store I work at were surprised to see only 4 retail launch games. They were sure we just didn't carry them all and decided to check Walmart for more games. Even after I told them that is all that was released so far.
I saw the trailer on YouTube and it looks awesome! I didn't see that it was coming to 3DS! I thought it was a switch exclusive and was really disappointed. I don't plan on buying a Switch until there are more games or a price drop. But I will be buying Blaster Master Zero for the 3DS!

@RedMageLanakyn I second this! But with the option to have traditional controls as well for on the go play.
Re: Classic Adventure Title Syberia Arrives On Switch Next Month
@Wichtel Awesome! Now if the price is right...
Re: Classic Adventure Title Syberia Arrives On Switch Next Month
So I didn't notice any gameplay. Is it like the old point and click adventures of old i.e. Must, Monkey Island, or Grim Fandango? If so then I'm game😁

Re: Soapbox: The SNES Classic Edition Pre-Order Farce Proves Nintendo Hasn't Learned A Thing
@MarioPhD And it is Nintendo's own fault that you can't give them money for this system due to their shoddy business practices!

Re: Video: Let's Have a Look at the SNES Classic Edition's Menus & Save State Features
Awesome features for a system I will never own! It was by shear blind luck that I got an NES mini. I doubt I will have that same luck again.

Re: NIS America Announces The Longest Five Minutes And Penny Punching Princess For Switch
The longest 5 minutes seems really interesting. I will definitely give it a go when it comes out. The collectors edition is pretty tempting.
Re: Guide: Where to Pre-Order Your Super NES Classic Edition
Considering many people had their pre-orders cancelled, I'll take my chances at picking one up in the wild. I got my NES mini that way.

Re: Ubisoft Confirms New IP, Starlink: Battle for Atlas, on Nintendo Switch
This looks really cool...but I really don't like the toy aspect of the game. If this would have just been a game I would have bought it.
Re: Video: Check Out the First Teaser Trailer for the Netflix Castlevania Show
OMG! So excited for this! The trailer gave off a Vampire Hunter D kind of vibe...which is cool!
Re: Review: Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers (Switch)
When will Capcom let SF2 go? They have been shelling out rehashed versions of this game for over 20 years. Let it go and give us Megaman or a new ip.

Re: Reggie Fils-Aime Discusses NES Mini Demand and Apologises to Those That Missed Out

Re: Capcom Wants You To Know That It's Taking The Nintendo Switch Very Seriously
I really hope that they develop a Monster Hunter game for the switch! Split screen coop would be nice but not necessary.
