Top three fears of game developers: 3-Not meeting the deadline 2-Being let go immediately after the game releases 1-Getting asked everyday whether you'll port your game to Switch
@OfNullAndVoid Mega Man 6 is probably the easiest of the classic series. Aside from the Robot Masters not having obvious weaknesses, the game has a generous learning curve.
@tanookisuit Virtual Console is regularly a method for Nintendo to throttle their software, and it's a shame. I don't know why GBA titles like Fusion and Wario Land 4 are available for Wii U and not 3DS. I don't know why 3DS never got Mega Man 9 & 10. I expect many of these titles to come to Switch whenever it gets its VC.
Difference is: at least those games were released, and getting the compatible systems isn't difficult, unlike the possible scenario of Star Fox 2.
Nintendo's handhelds have always been sort of frustrating with their numerous iterations, though. They're an expensive hobby. And now their home console is a handheld console too (hooray!).
@tanookisuit I don't know about that. Most Donkey Kong games, especially the original, are on my low-priority list. It looks like it's available for the 3DS E-shop though — Or at least it was a few years ago.
So I'm personally more interested in these games for virtual console, but the big concern for me with the rarity of the SNES Mini is this:
Are we going to get Star Fox 2 for digital download? Part of me (a large part) thinks that Nintendo will consider Star Fox 2 a "bonus" to people who secured the retro console...y'know, a console they have in limited supply...available to a handful of the most dedicated buyers...as an exclusive to an exclusive.

I can't believe I'm actually going to buy Super Monkey Ball now...

@Moroboshi876 it looks like that will be the case. Japan is starting preorders for older Smash amiibo.
