Paperboy

I like the idea for box art brawl a lot, but so often the regional differences are so little. This makes me wonder if there aren't any better candidate games for this series(?) Meanwhile, I'll keep enjoying the ones we get

Oh man, my heart skipped a beat before I read the title of the article

@Moroboshi876 I didn't know about the Track & Fields on MSX, but I used to play Hyper Sports a lot as a kid. Diving was one of my favourites!

@Moroboshi876
To me too. I'd love to play ALL of the MSX Konami games again. My dream is they bring a collection to modern platforms someday.

Damn, I'd love to have that calendar on my work desk. Might try to score one on Ebay...

Cool. I got an original NGPC cart. I'll be playing that again once the Analogue Pocket is released. We'll see about the modern game later, if I'm getting it, I'm getting it physical, so no bonus for me I guess. Still a neat little extra for those who do get it digital.

Yesterday I just randomly checked My Nintendo to see if there was anything new on offer, I bought two 3DS themes and 10 lottery tickets for the SNES mini, but the posters were well-hidden as I totally missed them. Ordered them as soon as I saw this article, don't know what the heck I'm going to do with them as I don't have a game room, but yeah, I got 'em.

I'll be getting this one, although I never played a Pokemon game I also hope some special themes will return later on. I was on vacation when the Classic Tetris theme could be aquired, but left my Switch at home, so that's the only one I'm missing (and the one I want badly).

@Bomberman64 Yeah, I deleted my comment right after I posted, bacause I realized that too. Sorry about that, wasn't fully awake yet I guess.

This is everything I was hoping for and the some. NGPC and Atari Lynx games as well? Wow. I'm in!

I've always wanted one of those shirts that Alex wears in the videos. Hope those will follow some day!

@Monkeido
Managed to get mine at about 3.55pm, after several minutes of the spinning wheel and the product screen without the button to put them in the shopping cart. Guess I got lucky!

@New_Guest
Other games too, as long as they use the dpad for movement. So if you planned to play Link's Awakening with it, you're out of luck

Yep, same problem on the Dutch site, page won't load

I gave up on looking forward to this game a long time ago.

@RupeeClock Thanks, now I had to go online and order the bluray of The Secret of Nimh, haha.

No problem, with Spyro and Link's Awakening coming out I couldn't fit it in the game budget for september anyway

Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!

Great news! I've been wanting to play Cotton on the Neo Geo Pocket Color for years, but it's nowhere near affordable. Interested in a new game, but how about porting the old ngpc one to hold us over?

That's funny, was thinking today that a binding of isaac amiibo woulde be cool, now this pops up!

Cool, hope it will work right. Seems like I can use my nes and snes mini controllers on my Switch with this thing as well (?) Plus I'll have more enjoyment from my games that need a proper d-pad (street fighter collection for instance). Very interested.

Cool list. I played Wario land for the first time on my summer holiday in Switzerland last year. I played it on a yellow gameboy color out in the sun, awesome game.

@Medic_alert I bring out my non backlit systems in the summer. The gameboy color, but also something like the Neo geo pocket color are perfect for playing outside!

I'd have bought Cuphead if they hadn't announced the physical version.
On a different note: saw Ducktales remastered in the Wii U sales; now how about giving that game a new chance to shine with a Switch port Capcom

And I thought falling deeper in love with Scarlett wasn't possible 😍

Oh, that's good to know! I'm in the Netherlands. I might take a chance on it then Thanks again!

@GauBan That's helpful, thanks for finding that out!
I think I'm going to wait until preorders go live, it maybe safer to go with LRG, who are also offering the game. At least with LRG you know for sure that taxes are covered.

@GauBan
Thanks for your reply! But I was able to find their website. What I couldn't find is where the are located/are shipping from.

Free shipping is nice, but I think we still have to worry about taxes. Anybody know where these guys are located? Can't find it on their website.

Now mod in Ernie the giant chicken

I accidently preordered the game on PS4. I now sold my PS4 copy and have ordered a Switch copy. Looking forward to jumping back in and playing handheld!

Loved the PS1 port back in the days. Will be picking this up tomorrow!

Yep, I'm trying Pool Panic too at that price!

"Homage" is the new "Loveletter"

And Federation Force did meet their quality standards?
Seriously though, this is indeed a refreshingly honest update. Better a great game later than a mediocre one soon. Lots of games to play.

The price for a Wii U on the used market is down almost 50% ever since the Switch came out, at least where I live. You'd have to be crazy (or crazy rich) to buy it new.

I agree on all of the comments above, very weird move.

@AirElephant They do offer a physical non-collectors edition. It's 35 dollars. Check out their website. They do this with pretty much every game btw!

Wasn't Puzzle bobble 2 supposed to come out this week? I held off on the first game last week because that's what I thought I had heard.

@Antraxx777 Yes. Konami Antiques: MSX Collection Vol. 1, 2 and 3 voor PS1 and an ultra pack containing all three volumes for Saturn. Only released in Japan though.

@Moroboshi876 collections like these give me a tiny bit of hope that we might see an MSX collection on Switch at some point. I would love to play those that came out in Japan for PS1 and Saturn.

I tried, but I've not been able to get into Smash. I guess I'm old school. Not a problem though, I'll be playing my Street fighter 30th anniversary collection. Also, Crash 'n sane trilogy, just to celebrate that Crash team racing is coming to Switch

@kobalt good to know. I only played through the dragon's trap last year, which I loved. I played dragon's lair briefly. Looking forward to playing more of the series!

@kobalt Thanks for your reply! I checked out several reviews after purchasing, just for fun, but non of those mentioned it. I agree that it's still worth getting, it's just such a shame, cause the wonder boy games were certainly most appealing to me. Anyway, I already spotted the ps4 game on the cheap, so I guess I'll just be playing wonder boy on my tv 😊

@kobalt Really? I literally bought this collection for the wonder boy games. I actually saw a commentor mentioning the exclusion on this site before, but I couldn't find any other source online, so I figured it was going to be ok, especially since the wonder boy games were listed in the description of the product in the webshop I bought it in. Do you have a pal or an ntsc copy? Probably doesn't matter, but pretty much my only hope right now. Anyone know the reason for the exclusion anyway? What a disappointment. Well, luckily I own a PS4 too...

Highly anticipated by me, after playing Wonder Boy III: the dragon's trap last year. Couldn't wait for the review either, already ordered/imported via Amazon. Looking forward to this one. In the meantime, I hope to be playing the Wonder Boy games on the Sega Megadrive collection, which is coming out for Switch tomorrow!

Very nice that I can finally play Downwell with pshycial button input! I played it for a while on ios and remember liking the game but also thinking "I'd much rather be playing this on my 3DS"

Hyper Sports on the MSX was one of the first games I ever played, I was probably 4 or 5. I'm curious if this title turns out good. I tried out Track and Field on the DS a little while ago, but I didn't like it.

Well, obviously I'll have to get this! Probably the closest we'll get to a new outing of Paperboy

The colours make sense to me. I'm guessing the audience for Mario Party is more likely to have bought the Switch with the more colourful joy-con (red/blue). Adding pink and green to this looks very playful (each player having their own colour joy-con), which suits well with the spirit of Mario Party, I think.
