If this is true, I will be so happy to get Maple Treeway and 3DS Rainbow Road back; those were the retro courses other than Waluigi Pinball I wanted in Mario Kart 8 the most.

Aaand Square Enix just danced around the core complaints that the game is flooded with scummy microtransaction exploitation despite being a full retail release. Why wouldn't they?

Unfortunate it had to be delayed indefinitely but guess it would be pretty poor timing currently to release a game centered around conventional warfare that features a faction based on Russia, no matter how lighthearted and cartoony the depiction is (which actually might make it more in poor taste).

Glad to see KoF and Skullgirls make it to main events but am pretty bummed by the lack of Killer Instinct; which, come to think of it, might be related to Sony now owning EVO as much as why Smash is a no-show.

Really hope they eventually look into new releases of the SNK vs. Capcom arcade fighters as well; especially with Capcom releasing that new fighter collection in June.

Would prefer Origins over Knight but still would welcome being able to play Arkham Asylum and City on Switch.

My favorite Zelda game but I am fully bracing for the emulation to be worse than the Gamecube port at this rate.

It warms my heart to see Sakurai just getting out and living his life after being buried in Smash Bros. for a good decade. You ride that horse and enjoy it, sir; you more than earned it.

That's fine; I've always liked Saints Row more anyway and they actually have passable ports on Switch.

@Silly_G Hm, touché.

And Nintendo wants us to pay $50 a year for this? Are they actually insane?

Oh thank the gods, AT LAST. Been wanting to play quite a few of these on Swich but didn't want to buy more versions of Street Fighter 2 again.

If this is true then honestly, I'd be okay if we lived in the alternate timeline where they only added N64 games and the yearly fee was 40 instead of 50. Don't get me wrong: I LOVE the Sega Genesis and its library but we already had access to the confirmed games on the Switch via different collections and the inclusion of Genesis games in NSO seemed a bit random to begin with.

Would have double-dipped if it was actual releases but as of now, I'm fine already having these games on my PS4. I don't understand Square Enix's obsession with cloud releases as of late.

Still keeping my fingers crossed that everyone's favorite spiky-haired defense attorney from Capcom gets in.

I'm of course talking about Apollo Justice. (No obviously I mean Nick.)

"Nooooo, I don't want to be a minimalist, corporate logo!!"

Dungeon Duos and Shell Shocked made it.
They're saying all the right things...

To be honest, Jack Black as Bowser is the only thing keeping me remotely curious about this likely disaster of a movie.

What's hilarious about this to me particularly is that besides them being just plain-old Oreos with Pokemon designs, they aren't even uncommon in my area; pretty much every grocery store I've walked into the past few days still have a rack or shelf full of packets.

Remastering Chrono Cross and still leaving Chrono Trigger stuck on mobile and Steam is just tone-deaf enough of a decision for Square Enix for me to believe at least that.
(Cross is still good but Square's seemingly outright refusal to bring Trigger back to consoles just baffles me.)

@LeighDapa Spock's cool but more of a fan of Riker myself in the Star Wars universe.

Honestly, expected this to look like nothing more than a low-effort mobile game since the teaser and it looks about as expected.

So was anyone else scared the first time the Gamecube startup screen transitioned to the system menu because you forgot a disc wasn't in the console or was I just an easily frightened child?

@sketchturner Oh, thanks. I just always assumed they never released it since it wasn't on the score soundtrack. Cheers!

Wasn't expecting to see the Scott Pilgrum version here but I'm glad that it was; shame we'll never get a clean studio recording version of it.

Welp, that's disappointing; I had just gotten into the Yakuza series and now I'm already worried about its future.

@TheFrenchiestFry Maybe if we're lucky, he'll still show up as a rep for the mainline SMT games.

Morgana in a ball: That's pretty neat.
Monkey Target returning: DAT'S THE GOODS RIGHT THERE

Pretty sure these Tweets are just trolling, well-aware that all these games are referencing the same movie scene.

@WoomyNNYes The frogurt is also rendered in Unreal Engine.
That's bad.

This really makes me want an official Hit & Run enhanced port even more but won't get my hopes up considering Disney seems to be completely inept with the game industry.

A few that immediately come to mind are:
Starship Mario (Super Mario Galaxy 2)
Beneath the Mask (Persona 5)
Rito Village (Zelda Breath of the Wild)
Objection! 2013 (Phoenix Wright Dual Destinies)
Life at Garreg Mach Monastery (Fire Emblem Three Houses)
Lost Painting (Castlevania Symphony of the Night)

Unless the agreement was actually written down on a contract, there's not much he can honestly say that will hold up in court unless he actually recorded them having this conversation; the legal system doesn't care for "verbal agreements" with how easy they are to forge without evidence. It sucks but that's just how it is.

I fully anticipate this fun little candy tie-in to be scalped and up-priced to high heavens.

Nothing particularly wrong with the Japanese box art but it's pretty basic compared to the dynamic art for the North American release.

Vividly remember first seeing a Nintendo game when I was maybe 4 or 5 and a hotel my family stayed at had Super Mario World available to play in the room.

We are this much closer to seeing Kiryu and/or Majima rolling around in a ball.

@nessisonett As someone who grew up on the pizza ones through the first half of elementary school, let me assure you: you aren't missing much.

Main catch is you have to buy Lunchables.

This developer really does seem serious about making a great game from their previous updates so one last delay by just a month is perfectly understandable.

Still not the major update we've been hoping for; move along.

Showing that Square Enix does not know how to read a room whatsoever considering that basically EVERYONE'S been asking why this collection isn't coming to consoles since the moment of its announcement.

Really cool that this unique piece of gaming history is now archived.

Gonna be perfectly honest: Nintendo exclusives aside, the Steam Deck really does seem like the Switch Pro we were hoping for. The price is a little scary, especially if you want the best version, but does look like a neat piece of hardware.

Hoping it's better than Cartoon Network's take on a Smash Bros. clone at least...

It's looking like they're doing what they can to make this a Greatest Hits Monkey Ball game we've been wanting; just hope it's more WarioWare Gold/Rhythm Heaven Megamix and less Mario Party: The Top 100...

30 fps isn't a deal breaker but will say this does highlight even more how a true enhanced model Switch would benefit multi-platform releases like this.

Still holding out hoping that Nintendo is avoiding spoilers and that a certain imprisoned one will have at least ONE of their boss fights cut. You all know who I'm talking about..

So sounds like it's a fun game but somewhat lacking in content and personality. Par for the course for Mario sports spin-offs as of late unfortunately (no pun intended) but hopefully post-launch updates flesh things out and make it a solid discount purchase down the line like Mario Tennis Aces before it.

You remembered Sonic Spinball and Sonic Blast and yet are missing the DS version of Sonic Colors, aka the third and best Rush game.
