Only if Nintendo actually allows gamers to play Switch 2 digital games on the Switch 3, otherwise, no. I need physical games to sell if I can't play them on the next console.
I'll be honest, the best port of Pole Position I ever played is the Tiny Arcade version. It has the best controls and is a fantastic game to play on the go for a few minutes at a time.
Funny you should post this. Popeye has been my go-to NES game for the last couple of months, but was thinking about playing Urban Champion and Star Tropics II last weekend.
I remember wanting this game so badly. I spent $7.99 on Quesst for Camelot at Kay-Bee Toys then immediately found X-Treme Sports for $9.99 at Hastings, but was a bit short on dough after my last purchase when my mother went ahead and bought it for me. I was so happy because it was the only copy of X-Treme Sports I have ever seen before, new or used. It's my favorite GBC game to this day, even more than Poke'mon: Gold Version which I happened to win from Frito-Lay.
Why LCD? Why not LED or OLED? Why downgrade the resolution and colors from the Switch OLED's? Why not QLED as an upgrade? What are we getting anyway? A new GameBoy that can stream to a HDTV via a wireless streaming stick?
Tears of the Kingdom for sure. Then, nothing for 6 weeks until Sonic Origins Plus is released. Then, no more physical games for my Switch. It's nothing but 397 games to download. I'm going to need some more Micro SD Cards.
I plan on picking up Tears of the Kingdom and Mega Man: Battle Network Collection, but that's it for now. I wouldn't mind owning Sonic Origins in June, but Zelda is the last physical title I want for Switch which will give me 94 physical games. I still have 389 digital games on my Wish List and own nearly 400 digital games already making my Switch game library the biggest of any of my other game libraries.
I bought tons of Poke'mon cards back in the day. My brother barely bought any cards at all and got a Charizard card and I was so jealous. He finally sold it for $230.00 several months ago on eBay. I must have one!
I only pre-ordered three things my entire life, a 3DS, Street Fighter IV 3D, and Poke'mon: Heart Gold. I tried to order Metroid Prime Remastered via GameStop, Target, and Best Buy and they had no copies. Amazon did, but for $89.99-$99.99 each. So, I spent the money on Tales of Symphonia Remastered instead. I did have it on GCN back in the day, but never beat it and sold it so I might as well buy it since I still have Metroid Prime for GCN as well as Metroid Prime Trilogy for Wii U.
@JohnnyC If I could only play 2 games on the GBA, it would be Castlevania: Circle of the Moon and Super Street Fighter II Turbo Revival. Runners up would be both Metroid: Fusion and Zero Mission.
I will say that while the SP Light is much better for playing most GBA games on, the older models are better for playing NES Classic games on as well as GameBoy games. The ability to shut the light off is a blessing for playing the GameBoy games in the sunlight while the non-widescreen NES Classic games look amazing backlit. Darker games like CastleVania: Circle of the Moon are really difficult to see however.
It only feels 3 years old to me. I mean, I've hardly even touched my 88 game cards. Then again, I guess having 88 game cards means the Switch has been around for several years. The only physical games I want for the Switch now is Mega Man Battle Network Collection and Tears of the Kingdom. Of course, I still have 391 games in my eShop Wish List after buying nearly 300 digital games for around $1 a piece on average.
You can tell the Switch is dying because of how many games can only be played on the Switch via streaming services such as Kingdom Hearts and Resident Evil: Village.
I still like it because retailers can have physical copies on sale, so you might be able to get a discount on the digital copy by buying the physical edition.
To me, the Wii U has the smallest library of games worth buying for it than any other Nintendo console outside of the Virtual Boy. I only recommend DK Country: Tropical Freeze, Madden 2013, Ninja Gaiden 3, & Mario Kart 8.
The best has to be Aquatic Ambience from DKC, however, some other great tracks include Fear Factory from DKC, Big Blue from F-Zero, Mute City from F-Zero, Rainbow Road from Mario Kart 64, Moo Moo Farm from Mario Kart 64, the Title Screen Theme from Metroid, the music from level 1 of Star Fox, the Song of Storms from Ocarina of Time, the main theme to Killer Instinct, the underwater theme in Super Mario 64, the Legend of Zelda intro music, and the serenade from Link's Awakening.
Sega CD: Sonic CD, Starblade, Ecco the Dolphin: Tides of Time, Eternal Champions CD, Snatcher, Final Fight CD, Sega Classics Collection (5 Pack Version), Sewer Shark, Lunar, Lunar 2, Afterburner, & Shadow of the Beast II
Genesis: Columns III, Sonic the Hedgehog 3, Sonic & Knuckles, Golden Axe III, Streets of Rage III, Outrun, Outrun 2019, Super Street Fighter II, Rocket Knight Adventure, Quackshot, Strider, Vectorman 2, Virtua Racing, Shinobi III, Sonic 3D Blast, Shadow of the Beast, Ms. Pacman, Earthworm Jim 2, Afterburner II, & Super Off-Road
32X: Knuckles Chaotix, Cosmic Carnage, Afterburner, Virtua Fighter, Space Harrier, Virtua Racing, Moto Cross, & Metal Head
The only video games that don't stress me out while playing them are: Mario Paint, Magic Pengel, Graffiti Kingdom, Style Savvy, Pebble Beach Golf Links, & Nintendogs.

Re: Jurassic Park: Classic Games Collection Adds Two Sega Genesis Titles

Re: Boom! Quake II Is Now Available To Download From The Switch eShop
I never understood the love for the Quake series. IV was decent, but every other game pales in comparison to Doom and Unreal.

Re: Detective Pikachu's Second Movie Is Apparently Still In "Active Development"
@IceClimbersMain Based upon the ending, it seems completely impossible to have a sequel.
