Nothing for me, this week. I'll be continuing to play SM3DAS, Star Wars: Pinball, among other things.

Yeah, modern Nintendo would very unlikely have such a name for any Super Mario Bros. characters, unless the game were a crossover with a franchise that does routinely have characters with names of that nature. It actually doesn't fit, really. It sounds too medieval.

Interesting article. MS needs to work on their multiple Oses. I love wonky Windows 10 updates, that I can't uninstall.

@Ooyah Arcaclavis sounds like a medical tool of sorts.

Edit: The woman in the Japan Systems image is beautiful.

I must be mistaken, because on 3DS, I was always able to play DSiware games stored on my 3DS sd card. Granted, it may have just quickly copied the data to system memory, whenever I would launch a title, and I didn't notice.

Looks interesting. Might give it a go.

Wonder if this will have the MegaMan games? Power Fighter/Battles, and Battle & Chase have previously been released.

@Crono1973:

I would be able to replace a faulty console I purchased, only if the company that manufacturted the console chose to replace it, or they are required to by the laws of wherever said company is operating, and laws regarding said company's specific industry. Different areas of the world have different laws for different industries. For some companies, offering a warranty is not a requirement of law. As such, there are cases where buying a faulty product, and/or service simply means the consumer is stuck. Companies can make their own rules for a lot of things, and if warranties are not possible, then that is a very anti-consumer practice.

Pertaining to numerous video games, a person can usually find plenty of information offline, and online. It's not impossible, but typically unlikely that for any certain video game, information can't be found somewhere on, or offline. That said, the only way to tell for 100% certainty that a person will enjoy a video game is to be able to actually play it somewhere. I agree with you, there. My point was, like I mentioned in my original comment, a simple transaction between myself, and the game company. I get their product, and/or service. They get my money.

As many have already commented, it is Nintendo's ip. They have every right to do with it whatever they choose, including not re-releasing it.

If people do not like the company, and/or their products enough, then ok, no problem. No one is forced to buy games. Realistically, no one is entitled to anything from any company. If I like a game, and/or other Nintendo product, I buy it. Nintendo gets my money, & I get a copy of their product. It's a one time transaction. Otherwise, I don't. Gaming is not a necessity to live.

If someone wanted to argue entitlement from companies, I would say that no device, or game last forever, and that when we purchase devices, and games, they will eventually, in some form, or another, be considered by the manufacturer, and/or current standards, to be obsolete. So at most, entitlement from a company, to me at least, entails maybe a basic warranty, and the knowledge that said company will still be offering maintenance, and/or upgrades to a specific product for the reasonable, and/or commercial lifespan of said device, or game. However, co.s make their own rules on those things, mostly, so as a consumer, you factor that into a product buying decision.

Edit: If the pokemon players are openly using the platform to talk down about Nintendo's decisions, of course Nintendo would be wise to just forget about the whole thing. However, at this point, it's just assuming the two are related.

Edit 2: For the record, I dislike a lot of Nintendo's business practices, but for me, those practices have not gotten to the point of me being done with Nintendo.

@Desrever Actually, that would be an awesome feature. Granted, many would complain that other game companies make their music freely accessible, so why doesn't Nintendo. It would still be a really neat feature. Even better, if it can play in the background of the Switch UI (menu/user interface).

@EngineerMario That's a really cool feature.

A lot of Youtubers, well-known for uploading Nintendo music, are very familiar with the ccopyrights issues, effectively getting the videos taken down, and re-uploaded, or uploaded under a different account.

I really enjoyed when Nintendo put out soundtrack cds, during the SNES/N64/NGC era.

Switch reminds me of the Super Gameboy. The difference being that the SGB was literally a GB, minus screen, and inputs, using the Super Nintendo for video output, and controller inputs. The Switch is obviously an entire console that can go either way, docked, or handheld.

The whole idea of the Switch sacrificing dedicated handheld, and home console capabilities, to be a hybrid is probably something that mostly will diminish over time. Maybe not ever necessarily 100%, but to an acceptable extent. Remember, at one time, pdas (personal digital assistant), and cell phones were 2 separate items you carried around.

As it is, the price of Joycons, both singles, and pairs, are too expensive, and they have problems, mainly the drift. This problem would be worsened if there were more titles that required no other controller, but the Joycons. It reminds me of the WU, in that a lot of the Gamepad hardware went predominantly unused in numerous games. To my knowledge, I don't really use much of the Joycon hardware, except occasionally the hd rumble in Odyssey, and also occasionally the nfc in the right Joycon.

This is consistent with the message they have said multiple times in the past. They say they want the Switch to go past a regular console lifecycle.

As many have said, of course, Nintendo will keep saying that, because they don't want slowdowns at all, and slowdowns can occur if people think a new console is on the way.

Nothing this week. Happy early 4th of July, American gamers! God bless!

Awesome! I'll download when I get the extra funds.

I don't own the game, & I don't know if I ever will. I play games I like in moderation, so I don't get bored with them. Besides, my play time is limited, as I have other things in my life that require my attention, concern, time, & money.

6/10

Pretty good, as I didn't know the T2, Outrun soundtrack, & Konami ip questions. Also, I shouldn't have gotten Clyde's color wrong, but my brain temporarily said pink. I like these.

Sounds roughly like it combines various aspects of a clock radio, digital projection/mobile units that help babies sleep, and a very rudimentary health monitoring apps, such as in a smart watch/fitbit, or smart phone...

Mega Man X Legacy Collection 2
Try to get the AC:NH theme in Tetris 99
Maybe some other things...

That's not much. Still, if you're a big digital gamer, your Switch will be loaded. I always prefer physical, except if the price of digital is a better deal for me.

Visually stunning, as always. I want to see more gameplay, though.

@kingbk: Though an NES "black box" title, apparently it was licensed.

@Everyone_Else: I definitely have been waiting for Panel De Pon. For a long time now, I figured Nintendo would drop it (in Sonic voice: pun entirely intended) on the service eventually. (Edit: 1:26 for Dr. Jekyll Mr. Hyde music.)

To be expected, really. I'm not gonna complain. I'm blessed with enough games, & to begin with, gaming's a fun pasttime/hobby, not the very thing that defines me.

Impressive! Most impressive! Off the top of my head, the removal of the date could be because of a simple typo, posting old, incorrect information, information that's supposed to be unrevealed as of yet, or it's a date they don't want to set in stone this early on, because of the very real possibility of setbacks, due to last-minute debugging, and/or Covid-19.

Impressive! Most impressive! May the 4th be you, everybody! God bless!

Mega Man X Legacy Collection 2
Namco Museum
Super Mario Odyssey
Splatoon 2 demo

Super Mario Odyssey
Mega Man X Legacy Collection 2 (on sale)
Namco Museum (on sale)
Super Mario Maker 2 (I'll give the update a whirl.)
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (To get those spirits)

I'm blessed to have a lot. Happy weekend, everybody! God bless, and enjoy your gaming!

Guile, & Chun-Li for Smash! Also Protoman, Bass, X, & Zero! Alternatively, Nintendo Vs. Capcom(!)

I suspected some of the characters on the main artwork were going to be the spirits.

I have been blessed enough to have no lag when I played online. The matches, against various players, went smoothly. I rarely play Smash online, because I know lag will, or at least can be an issue.

I enjoy NSO for what it is. I upload/download/play courses in SMM2, I play Tetris 99 with others, I like the NES/SNES titles. Opinions vary, so others' mileage may, too.

I was looking at PCE2+, considering on getting it. I might still get it down the line. Instead, I got Namco Museum on sale.

@StephenYap3 Happy birthday, God bless, and have a great day!

@Everyone_Else Nothing this week, unless I purchase something from my favorite list in the e-Shop.

Nintendo: And this stays here. I didn't invent the clock feature to make my home better furnished. I invented the clock feature to change the system time!

@jERS @mesome713 Boardwalk Empire is loosely based on a non-fiction book about Enoch Johnson, basically a gangster of Atlantic City, New Jersey.

@StuartGipp I loved Sticker Star, Color Splash, and the other PM titles. If you don't like some titles, or you do, there's nothing wrong with that. Everyone has different tastes.

Very interesting.

I'd like Springman. If Toon Link is in play on the train, Alfonzo becomes the engineer. Springman/Sprintron can be the assist trophy, depending on player characters.

The financial profitability of these figures makes other co.s willing to license their ip. The figure is fine, but I would want something a little more detailed.

@KoopaTheGamer I think it would be cool if that were to be released for Switch. Though, I do wish Capcom, & Disney would have just worked out something for all their joint-effort games from the Nes/SMD/SNes/GB to be on one cart.

@Everyone_Else I remember seeing Quackshot on a Mega Drive display/kiosk in Sears. Looked like a fun game.

@wazlon Thanks for the tips.

@wazlon That's... a lot of collecting...

@Fry2000 Sorry to hear that. Please be careful, & maybe for your own safety, while playing video games, you should get checked by a doctor. Better yet, you shouldn't play until a doctor clears you.

I'm still playing my pc copy I've had since the days of Windows XP.
Looking at the cd/jewel case for the game, to double-check myself, I was correct that it could run on (base/original/first-version) Win 98/Second Edition/Me/2000/XP. (Its predecessor, Outcast, can run on Win 95, if I remember correctly.) Mods greatly enhance the character customization.

Edit: While I love Rogue One, my headcanon is that Kyle always helped secure the DeathStar plans, along with that Twi'lek, and interrogation droid from the Nintendo DS game.

@wazlon I have heard, but do not actually know for myself, that there are easily up to hundreds of spirits in-game.

@FineLerv For purposes of screenshots, it would have been nice if there was a toggle for that. (There is a toggle for text, in the Spirit inventory/list viewer.) There have been times where I wanted a screenshot of the spirit without it. On the flipside, a lot of the spirits are keyart of their respective games, & series, which means some stuff should be easy to find the high quality original online.

@Taffy No apologies necessary

On the off-chance this isn't a calendar-related prank, that's interesting, & there's a small part of me that misses trophies. Sprits are basically the replacement, & it allows for Nintendo to stuff more in the game, since those are not 3d models.

Calendar dates, & all that...

They could have fixed crossplay to be optional. Not the end of the world.

@Taffy That's what I said on the original article about them overlooking this.
