Got a 1TB SD Card during a sale and even after downloading everything in my library, I still have over 50% of free space left. Safe to say that I probably won't ever fill it up. The pandemic did see a big spike in my digital purchases, though.

Just wanna point out as someone who grew up in the 80s and 90s, we most definitely had high priced games even back then. I remember Donkey Kong Country being 70 dollars.

Yeah they obviously slapped the River City Girls name on it to cash in on the hype the game generated even though the girls really aren't the focal point. In fact, without spoiling anything, they're not even playable for the whole game. Still, RC Girls references the Super Famicom game a lot, including remixing the music from the game, so it still kinda makes sense, I guess. There's also the fact that gameplay-wise the game has very little in common with RC Girls or RCR in general. It has no RPG elements, it's a straight-up brawler. It makes me a little worried that people will buy this game with expectations that won't be met and write it off.

Still happy to see it coming though and I'll be getting it as well. It's good to see that the RC Girls game generated fresh interest in the series. I hope this leads to more of the Kunio-kun games being translated.

Part of me is annoyed that the Super Famicom game is now being labeled as a River City Girls game (it's not, it's a Kunio game and I feel like calling it RC Girls Zero is going to give the false impression that the girls are the main characters), while another part of me is extremely happy to see this underrated brawler coming out in English. Either way, I'm always happy to see more Japanese titles getting western localizations.

Got a feeling the comment section for this one is gonna get locked real soon.

Not a great collection IMO, Taito Legends 1/2 on PS2 has a far better selection including Elevator Action Returns, Cleopatra's Fortune, Kuri Kinton, Growl, and Darius Gaiden.

Hopefully this is better than Arcadecraft.

Since accidentally updating , I've also had the error but in my case the download will eventually start after a dozen or so retries.

I would actually love to have one of these.

Too late, I already downloaded it. Hope my Switch doesn't explode.

They need to fix the input delay for SNK vs Capcom. it's significantly laggier than the other games.

I'd play it for sure, especially if it has Mario RPG style action commands.

I bought this a while back despite saying I wouldn't and it was just okay in my opinion. I don't know how much these improvements will help it.

I know this is considered a terrible movie and all but I've always found it to be oddly charming. I'll definitely check this out.

As far as handheld HM titles go, I only played the Mineral Town games. I may have to give this one a try though. It looks like a good time.

I didn't remember this until you mentioned it, but I did the curving ball trick on the NES version all the time. I played Baseball Simulator 1000 a lot as a kid. I had no idea the SNES version fixed things like that, I just always felt like it was a bit... off. I attributed it to the fact I was so accustomed to the 8bit version. I've never really played the SNES version for more than a few minutes. I guess it never clicked with me the way the NES version did.

Aww yeah, that's what I was hoping to see! Looks like they even added his Final Crash special move into his moveset, which IIRC he was lacking in his SOR4 boss fight.

I was not really a fan of any of the DQ remakes on Switch. I thought the new art made it look bland and I missed the enemy animations from the GBC version.

Also I really need to get around to playing Octopath Traveler one of these days...

If these get remade the same way Sonic CD did then I'm all for it. If it's just straight ports then not so much as I have other ways to play all these games.

Pretty excited for this, DQ3 was the game that introduced me to the series and made me a fan. Particularly the GBC version which is still my favorite version to play.

This was a great game on NES but it feels a bit off on the SNES.

This looks super cool but that's a bit out of my price range.

I have this on PS4 but haven't played much of it yet. From what I've played though it seems like a pretty good game.

I've always wanted to give Onimusha a try. May be the time.

Lame SP version aside, these are pretty solid games. Spanky's Quest in particular is surprisingly fun.

I'm more interested in this steamy fanfic about Mother Brian.

It's nice to see the Metal Max series making a return, but we did have a game called Metal Saga here in the US so I don't think this is necessarily the first Metal Saga game. Prior to this we had Metal Saga: Sajin no Kusari and it's the only Metal Max besides Xeno we got in the west.

Needs more actual hentai.

I'll take any improvements I can get at this point.

I got this on PS4 a while back and never got around to playing it. Had no idea a Switch port existed! Glad it's coming to the west, we missed out on too many Metal Max games.

I wish they had brought some VB titles to 3DS. It was kind of a missed opportunity.

I've enjoyed my time with it and as someone who is into fitness, I can confirm that if you do it properly it will give you a decent workout. I prefer it over Ring Fit Adventure.

Has anyone tried going down any of the pipes? Could be a hidden warp zone in one of them!

This actually looks pretty cool.

Hopefully it'll come with some quality of life improvements such as a better map system and easier means of switching weapons. Oh and obviously a save system.

EDIT: Oh just read it does indeed have a save system. Nice!

Oh, now this is interesting. I remember this game from back in the day. Never expected to see this one added.

I gave it a test on my unmodded and modded 3DSes with the latest firmware and they work, but mine are NA copies. Anyone with access to PAL copies and modded 3Ds consoles may wanna give it a try and see what happens.

This is why I keep telling people that "physical is forever" is complete bullcrap. I say this as a collector myself who has seen numerous physical copies simply cease to work for no given reason. In my case it was Sonic Rush and Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow. This is to say nothing of disc based media and the consoles themselves dying at a frightening rate. Whether you buy physical or digital, nothing lasts forever. This is one reason why I'm terrified to dig up my Gamecube games and check them. Part of me considers simply selling a good chunk of my collection off before things like this happen and ruin the value, but I don't really need the money.

With that being said, I recently played my copy of Omega Ruby and it worked fine. I transferred my mons from it to the Pokemon Home thing. My copy is NA though. Curious to see this is happening to EU/PAl copies only. I'm wondering if it's at all possible that the copies that are dying are somehow bootlegged? I remember hearing at one point there was a huge issue with bootlegged copies of HGSS. Could be just a batch of defects too.

Curious case all around though. While games do randomly die, it's rare for it to be big number all dying within a few years of each other.

This is a nice update, may have to check it out. I got the game on sale and was disappointed with the lack of options online.

Imagine being that petty.

I need this in my life.

This is pretty cool. I wonder what are the odds they will release the 2&3 Returns game from Wii?

Now this is interesting. I'm familiar with the original game but as of yet to actually play it. The remake looks intriguing.

My Switch blew out one of its speakers (I suspect Freedom Planet was the culprit) and my Pro Controller left analog stick has a tendency to drift down somewhat but it's rarely noticeable. My Switch screen has seen better days too but all things considered my Switch is doing pretty well. There's life in the old dog yet!

A Switch Pro would be nice though.

Nice, Lost Vikings 2 was the biggest omission. I guess they're using the SNES version for this. I may have to go check it out later.

Cool read, I literally just ordered one of these a few days ago. I had no idea it could play GG and MS games, that's good to know. Only just recently got into everdrives and flashcarts, so far they're pretty handy devices. Got the N8 Pro, the Mega SD, and the FXPAK Pro and loved 'em, so thought I'd grab this one and give it a try as well.

I feel like the only person who doesn't hate the online thing. It was inevitable they would eventually start charging and it costs very little, especially compared to other platforms. If you can afford a Switch you can probably afford the online service which costs what, 20 dollars a year?. Otherwise, don't pay for it. I don't know why anyone ever had an expectation for N64 games either.

But what do I know, I'm just an onion.

Oof, that score wasn't what i was expecting. The game seems promising. Maybe wait for a sale...

May God have mercy on us all.

Really hoping one of the new characters is Shiva. Max would be cool too. The 2nd one looks like it could be either one of them.
