Am I mad? Sure. But being mad about it isn't going to make the game release any faster. I'll just replay Dark Souls on my PS3 while I wait....who am I kidding, I'll still be playing Breath of the Wild.
I am enjoying my Switch thoroughly. The only hardware I would want to see come out soonish would be another classic system. If they released a Gameboy Classic edition I would be soooo happy!
@SmaggTheSmug It completely slipped under my radar for one reason or another. Sounds really cool and something I would be interested in playing. Thanks for the heads up!
A very disappointing direct imo. I was really hoping to play Luigis Mansion on my switch, not 3ds. The only game that interests me is Dark Souls. I hope they are able to pull of a flawless port and not have terrible slowdown. In a game like Dark Souls any slowdown would make the game almost unplayable.
@MeloMan I agree that without the arcade version we wouldn't habe those awesome tunes. But the NES version is all I knew of Double Dragon. I got it when I was like 4 or 5 and I played it a lot. I didn't know what I was missing by it not being 2 player. The NES soundtrack is ingrained in my brain and watching the video for the arcade version was a shock to my system.
@NoxAeturnus I agree with everything you said....minus the Mario 64 comment. After beating Bowser and collecting a few more power moons, I haven't picked it back up.
Say what you will about the NES port of Double Dragon. At least the NES soundtrack was better. The gameplay of this arcade version looks cool but the music is awful.
@Krisi I can agree about the weapons being unbalanced and metal blade being too powerful. I was 4 or 5 when Mega Man 2 came out and it was the first MM game I played. After playing Mario and Duck Hunt to death, MM2 was a breath of fresh air. Having never played a game like it before, my little mind was completly blown away! My Dad would rent it for me on the weekends and during the weekdays I couldn't get the catchy tunes out of my head!
Okay, I know the Mario Bros. movie is hated by most. I know it had nothing to do with the games. But I actually like the movie. I was about 7 years old when it came out so maybe that has something to do with it. It was different, weird, and quirky. I think that's why I liked it.
I have a PS4. I have a 4K tv. I have no desire to buy a PS4 Pro as long as the games work on both the old model and the new. I dropped the Xbox 360 like a hot potato when I got a PS3. I have no desire to purchase an Xbone, Xbone S, or a Xbone X, or any other iteration they may come up with.
@GC-161 Sub HD has never bothered me. I frequently play my Game Cube and PS2. I can see where other people would have a problem with it though. I do have a hard time replaying games from the N64/PSONE generation though
@JebbyDeringer then here's hoping for higher resolution on the N64 mini or the more likely N64 games on Switch VC. I'd love to play Mario 64 with less blurr. I do have Mario 64 on DS but the controls are a little wonky....I wonder if you can use the circle pad on the 3DS to simulate the analog stick?
N64 games have not aged well. Not the gameplay per say, but the graphics. They are a muddy blurry mess of irregular shapes. Unless it was your first system, I think it would be a harder sell.
I use to fancy myself a collector and would have purchased all of these! Adulthood has been keeping my collection tendencies in check however....parenthood is a big factor in the mix.
Our Target got only 6 of the NES classics for launch and a whopping 44 of the SNES classics! I was able to stroll up to the counter and buy one. Seems like Nintendo is fulfilling their promise.

I have never even heard of Hellblade.

Exactly!
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend?
Playing Monster Hunter World and Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate when my wife is using the TV.
Re: Feature: The Big Nintendo Direct Summary - 8th March
A very disappointing direct imo. I was really hoping to play Luigis Mansion on my switch, not 3ds. The only game that interests me is Dark Souls. I hope they are able to pull of a flawless port and not have terrible slowdown. In a game like Dark Souls any slowdown would make the game almost unplayable.
Re: Zelda's Link Is Gatecrashing A Phantasy Star Title, But Only In Japan
Another disappointment in a very disappointing direct. I really wish Phantasy Star would come west.
Re: Sounds Like Blizzard Really Is Porting Diablo 3 To Switch (Even Though It Said It Wasn't)
Please let this be true!
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend?
Monster Hunter World and Xenoblade Chronicles 2.
Re: Spanish Retailer Lists Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy for Switch, Fuels Rumours
I borrowed Crash Bandicoot from someone back in the day. I think I played it for all of 2 hours. I wasn't impressed. I'll be skipping this remaster.
Side note: With what is happening with the Mega Man collection I wouldn't be surprised if Crash 1 was on the cart and 2 and 3 came on a download card.

Re: Double Dragon Is Coming To The Switch This Week
@SethNintendo It was only one player but the music is so much better.

Re: Praise The Sun! Dark Souls: Remastered Is Coming To Switch This May
I haven't been this excited for a Switch release since Xenoblade Chronicles 2! Between Dark Souls and Y's VIII I'll be set until Metroid Prime 4!
Re: Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana Brings An Epic Quest To Switch This Summer
I am so glad I didn't buy this for PS4, I'd rather have it for Switch!
Re: Editorial: Trying to Play Monster Hunter XX in Japanese on the Nintendo Switch
Just give me 4 Ultimate with updated graphics for the Switch please.

Re: Out Today: A Couple of Intriguing Downloads Get the Switch eShop's Week Underway
@ZeldaToThePast I second this!
Re: The Mega Man X Series Is Getting Its Own Collection On Switch
@Krisi 2 beats out 9 for me because of nostalgia. I remember renting 2 many times back in the day.
Re: The Mega Man X Series Is Getting Its Own Collection On Switch
@Krisi I also enjoy the classic series more but would buy collection 2 just for mega man 9! 9 feels like a direct sequel to mm2 or mm3.
Re: The Mega Man X Series Is Getting Its Own Collection On Switch
@8-Bit_Zorldo they could do classic NES and SNES themed joycon
Re: The Mega Man X Series Is Getting Its Own Collection On Switch
Ok Nintendo. With all of these 8 and 16 bit treasures coming out, please make a joy con with a d-pad!
Re: Feature: Yooka-Laylee Jumps Onto Switch in December - We Learn All About It
@Grandpa_Pixel That would be nice.
Re: Feature: Yooka-Laylee Jumps Onto Switch in December - We Learn All About It
No physical release = no purchase. I really wanted this for the switch, but I guess I'll get it for the PS4.
Re: Rumour: Super Mario Cereal is On the Way With an 'amiibo' Box
They should put both Mario and Zelda together like the original cereal. If I remember correctly there were two different bags inside the box.
Edit. I just watched the commercial. There were two different bags inside. My memory hasn't left me yet!

Re: Ubisoft Thinks The Next Console Cycle Isn't Far Away, So Where Does That Leave Switch?
I have a PS4. I have a 4K tv. I have no desire to buy a PS4 Pro as long as the games work on both the old model and the new. I dropped the Xbox 360 like a hot potato when I got a PS3. I have no desire to purchase an Xbone, Xbone S, or a Xbone X, or any other iteration they may come up with.

Re: Rumour Buster: The Nintendo 64 Classic Mini Game List 'Leak' is a Batch of Old PDF Files
@carlos82 hopefully if they do come to Switch VC they will be less blurry. I never bought a 64 game for Wii U, were they less blurry on that?

Re: Stardew Valley Arrives on the Switch eShop This Week
I have this on steam but very rarely game on my computer since the little one was born. I might have to double dip and grab this for the switch!

Re: Deals: Got Your SNES Classic Mini? Then Check Out These Essential Accessories
I snagged one at Target this morning. They had 44 total which surprised me for a relatively small town.
