Is the original SNES title unlockable in Renaissance? It's a bummer it's not on the SNES app for Switch Online or 3DS Virtual Console, only being available for the Wii.
I think the launch titles Pilotwings and Steel Diver used the 3D pretty well. Even so SM3DL blew them out of the water with better 3D and a lot of content. Many people to this day still think the game is short because they probably never bothered to play the more challenging second quest, playing only half the game. I did but could never beat the final extra stage. SM3DL is fun in its own right, and SM3DW is a improved, more fleshed out version.
4,15 dollars a month is not too bad, but considering the original service costs only 2,15 a month If you choose the yearly plan, that's quite a increase for not much.
Also, don't forget you are not buying anything, so the moment you do not renew the subscription, you lose access to all the games.
@TryToBeHopeful . Super Mario Party has motion controls that are unplayable on the Switch Lite (unless you have extra joycon - in my opinion the series loses with no motion controls). Also the proposition here is different, a throwback to past titles (is Koopa's Tycoon Town from MP8 here?). Last but not least, a new game instead of DLC means a higher price.
@Silly_G yes, I agree with you. Love my G&W SMB, but should have been a lot better with SML, SML 2, SMB 2, SMB 3 and a few Mario G&W titles (Cement Factory and SMB come to mind, and they didn't even use the SMB Ball game). It could have been a real collector's item.
G&W Zelda is improved but still not perfect (no Link's Awakening DX and no Zelda G&W, which has already been emulated for G&W Gallery 4. I honestly didn't expect the Oracle games to be here).
Well, I guess he chose Sora for last because it's also his company's name and to match the announcement of the games. Nice for the fans, as he has been speculated to be in the roster for years.
What's next for Smash Bros? Of course, Nintendo will want it in the next system in the future. Will Sakurai make a new one or will Ultimate be ported with some adjustments?
@nessisonett too many excellent microgames. I honestly prefer Twisted due to its wackyness, fun factor and body of work, surpassing the original. Even Nintendo of America knew Twisted was better than Touched (which is still amazing) because they held on to it to release after the DS entry, since the DS was new to the market.
@JHDK they are good. I am not so sure how much Jools has to do with Moon and Dementium, because when Renegade Kid split, it was the now late Gregg Hargrove who kept the 3D games, while Jools kept the 2D games such as Mutant Mudds.
@JHDK seems like Jools never finishes the game he promises while making smaller games in between. Treasurenauts has never been cancelled, is said to be alive, but hasn't appeared in some 7 years. Hatch Tales is out on the 3DS, but seems they can't complete the HD version. Meanwhile they release lower budget and lower quality titles such as Soccer Blast, Totes, Petadachi and Pictooi (has anybody asked for those?). My favorites Jools game is Xeodrifter and honestly I feel like his output was better in the Renegade Kid days.
I am one of the backers. Love me some GBA (especially Micro). And Goodboy Galaxy was handled well by releasing a demo beforehand. Here's hoping for more GBA projects in the future.
Since Martinet is the voice of Mario, Luigi, Wario, Waluigi and the babies in the games, my guess is he will voice Wario, who will have a minor role in the story.
"The same insider is far less optimistic about Game Boy Advance titles arriving on the paid online service in the near future - noting how several companies are currently working on re-releases, including Nintendo, who has the Advance Wars remaster coming out this December". If they release GB/GBC titles, does this mean Link's Awakening is out of the question?
I would give my life for a spotless and sealed copy of Super Mario Bros, and for that I mean 100 coins. Honestly I am very happy with my complete in box copy I bought for some 40 dollars over 5 years ago, and it has the same displaying purpose as a sealed copy.
I still can't understand how this gem never got a remaster or sequel on DS or 3DS. The dual screen setup seems perfect for this game, with the top screen always the ground, and the lower screen always the underground.
Nintendo should take the modern Game & Watch one step further. Make the Virtual Console Boy with the ability of dowloading NES, GB, SNES, N64, GBC, GBA and maybe even NGC games. That would sell like hot cakes!

Re: Zombie Shooter 'World War Z' Fires Onto Switch Today
Really looking forward to the review.
But what kind of game is It? Open World? Level/mission based? Is there offline single player? Is there online multiplayer?

I chose not to subscribe to the Expansion Pack.
Re: Review: Sin and Punishment - A Genuine Treasure And No Mistake
Have never played the original version. Sin & Punishment Star Successor for the Wii is fantastic and love the pointer controls.
Re: This Zelda II ROM Hack Removes All The Annoying Stuff To Present A Totally New Adventure
Would love a Zelda 1 + 2 Remake. They are doing Advance Wars, so why not Zelda?
Re: Review: Mario Party Superstars - A Party Most Hearty
@Gumbo1995 MP 2 might be the best, but I also enjoy 5, 8 and amiibo Party (from MP.10).
Re: Review: Mario Party Superstars - A Party Most Hearty
@Brink N64: 1-3, NGC: 4-7, Wii: 8-9, WiiU: 10. GBA, DS and 3DS have MP too, but those were never numbered.

How long was It from the announcement of Bayonetta 3 until the first trailer?
Re: Game & Watch: The Legend of Zelda Gets A Snazzy New Trailer
@Silly_G yes, I agree with you. Love my G&W SMB, but should have been a lot better with SML, SML 2, SMB 2, SMB 3 and a few Mario G&W titles (Cement Factory and SMB come to mind, and they didn't even use the SMB Ball game). It could have been a real collector's item.

Re: Poll: What Do You Think Of The Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pass Price?
I was expecting 30 dollars, 35 dollars tops, so yes, I think it's very expensive.

Re: Feature: Best WarioWare Microgames Ever
Good picks. Many great games in the WarioWare séries, but Twisted is still the best.

Re: Goodboy Galaxy Smashes Kickstarter Goal, Physical Game Boy Advance And Switch Editions Confirmed

Re: "Dreams Come True": Chris Pratt Talks About His New Role As Super Mario
Since Martinet is the voice of Mario, Luigi, Wario, Waluigi and the babies in the games, my guess is he will voice Wario, who will have a minor role in the story.
Re: Actraiser Renaissance Hits Nintendo Switch Later Today
Overall a great Direct and Actraiser was the biggest surprise. Here's hoping they remade Blood Pool and its moon.
Re: Feature: 30 Years Of Sonic The Hedgehog - The Many Faces Of Mario's Biggest Rival

Re: Platinum Would "Definitely" Port Star Fox Zero To Switch, If Given The Opportunity
A Deluxe remake with a few additions, tweaks and levels would be sweet.

Re: Review: Baldo: The Guardian Owls - Exquisite Ghibli-Esque Art Can't Hide Tortuous Gameplay
@Pusher2021 WarioWare will do fine in reviews. Have you tried the demo? It's awesome.
It's Cruis'n Blast for Switch I'm worried about. Have you seen any article with a review or hands on of Cruis'n Blast for Switch?
Re: Review: Baldo: The Guardian Owls - Exquisite Ghibli-Esque Art Can't Hide Tortuous Gameplay
Any word of any article with a review or hands on of Cruis'n Blast for Switch?
WarioWare will do fine in reviews. The demo ia awesome.

Pledged on the very first day.
Here's hoping for more GBA goodness in the future.
What I would love to see is Retro City Rampage for the GBA being produced and complete.

Re: Eugene Jarvis Is Thinking About Remastering The 'Cruis’n Trilogy' For Nintendo Switch
Played a lot of USA and World back in the N64. But unfortunately these games haven't aged as well as other arcade racing games such as OutRun.
Re: The Game Boy Advance Is Getting Its First Commercial Release In 13 Years
Backed for a physical version. The more GBA the marrier.
Would love to see Retro City Rampage get a physical GBA release, since the dev once said he had a version of the game running on the GBA

Re: Talking Point: How Much Would You Pay For A Mint Copy Of Super Mario Bros.?
I would give my life for a spotless and sealed copy of Super Mario Bros, and for that I mean 100 coins. Honestly I am very happy with my complete in box copy I bought for some 40 dollars over 5 years ago, and it has the same displaying purpose as a sealed copy.

Re: Video: Miyamoto’s Loveable But Forgotten Game Boy Classic - Mole Mania
I still can't understand how this gem never got a remaster or sequel on DS or 3DS. The dual screen setup seems perfect for this game, with the top screen always the ground, and the lower screen always the underground.
Re: The Micro-Console Revolution Isn't Over Quite Yet, It Would Seem
