@Tobiaku available right now at First Press at https://firstpressgames.com/collections/goodboy-galaxy but for just one month, promising more copies will be available when the game is out in December 2022.

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.

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

Casey Jones and Splinter playable, please

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.

Would love to see the OutRun Ferrari with the sound of Passing Breeze.

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!

Spike's here. Good. Now we need Iggy to finally complete the Super Koopa Cousins.

What I really want is a Switch Micro, like half the size or less of the original Switch.

A new handheld would demand new games and therefore split Nintendo's effort when things are going very well.

What they could and should do is take the Game & Watch concept to the next level. Make the Virtual Console Boy, a one-screen handheld with the ability to download NES, SNES, N64, NGC, GB and GBA games. That would sell more than hot cakes.

Love Wii Sports Resort and cycling around Wuhu was a must everytime I played.

Zelda 1 and 2 remake please

The Olympics start today. Time to enjoy this game as well as the real games.

Nice article, good job.

'Now, I’m not going to claim Nintendo as some bastion of POC representation and I can’t ignore where it has previously gone wrong. Mr. Game & Watch using a Native American silhouette (before being swiftly removed) in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is perhaps the most recent example".

Though I believe this reaction was an exaggeration, since It was the character from the G&W title Fire Attack.

Where is the good stuff? Actraiser, Mystical Ninja and others? Where is GBA?

@Nontendo_4DS yes, It was, good memory. If I recall, the Japanese version of Asault had more Namco games.

I still have my launch Switch with no need to upgrade at this time. If I bought a second Switch, It would be a Lite. My only gripe is that it doesn't seem to be small enough to be called a handheld. Here's hoping there's a Switch Micro in the future.

@BanjoPickles 90s Arcade Racer has never been officially cancelled. It's on Nicalis' website as coming soon, whatever that means (https://www.nicalis.com/games/90ssupergp)

Looking forward. But how much will It cost? Should be 40-50 tops.

@samuelvictor Shovel Knight, Monster Hunter, Dark Souls and Diablo 3 are all I can remember

@sanderev Dark Souls and Diablo 3 got one amiibo each.

@ModdedInkling I am pretty sure the employee count does include subsidiaries like Retro Studios and Next Level Games, since Vancouver (Canadá) and Austin (TX, USA) are marked on the map.

Looking forward to playing this, though I really wish we got Mario Strikers instead (or Mario Baseball as second option).

@River3636 the timeline is as follows, not counting the Prime games:
1. Metroid (NES) / Zero Mission (GBA)
2. Metroid 2 Return of Samus (GB) / Samus Returns (3DS)
3. Super Metroid (SNES) presented as Metroid 3
4. Metroid Other M (Wii)
5. Metroid Fusion (GBA) presented as Metroid 4
6. Metroid Dread (Switch) presented as Metroid 5

@jingounchained the features of the joycons will probably not be heavily used because of the Switch Lite. I think that is the same reason we are getting a new Mario Party (Nintendo even showed a Lite in the trailer explicitly saying all minigames can be played with button controls). I honestly think this lack of innovative controls hurt the games after all.

I wanted a racing game (ExciteTruck, F-Zero, Wave Race or 1080) and got Cruis'n. I wanted Wario Land and got WarioWare. I wanted 2D Metroid and got one. I wanted Star Fox and didn't get It. I wanted Fatal Frame. I wanted the return of Advance Wars. Not everything was as I wanted, but I must appreciate what was shown. I rate the E3 Direct "Fantastic"

Is It possible to download this game or any other?

Is It possible to share created games and download games created by other people?

Wii has so many incredible games. Plus, the Wiimote was so inviting for play. Pointer controls have never been this good.

My favorite on the list probably are Batallion Wars, Boom Blox, Deadly Creatures, DKC Returns, Dr Mario, Excite Truck, Ghost Squad, Épic Mickey, Goldeneye, House of the Dead Overkill, Kirby Épic Yarn, MadWorld, Mario Kart, Mario Strikers Charges, Metroid Prime Trilogy, Metroid Other M, Muramasa, New Super Mario Bros Wii, Okami, Pikmin, Prince of Perdia Forgotten Sands, Rabbids Go Home, Red Steel 2, RE 4, Sim & Punishment, Silent Hill, Sonic Colors, Mario Galaxy 1 and 2, Smash Bros, Super Paper Mario, Trauma Team, Wario Land Shake It, Wii Sports, Wii Sports Resort, Zack & Wiki, Twilight Princess, Skyward Sword and Link's Crossbow Training.

Not on the list: Punch-Out, Need for Speed Nitro, Trauma Center, Trauma Center New Blood, Jett Rocket, Fun Fun Minigolf, FAST, Art of Balance, Nyx Quest, Dive and many others.

How did he miss Punch-Out on the list?

@nessisonett IOC decided last year the branding 2020 would not change. And the next games are scheduled for 2024, not 2025.

I am happy with my current Switch, so I won't upgrade anytime soon. As long as there are no exclusives (keeping the Lite seems to indicate that), I am fine with the upgrade and I understand why some people are looking forward to it.

So, Sabec is cementing itself as this generation's RCMDIAX.

Yes, please. I have been waiting for the next Wave Race since 2001 and the next 1080 since 2003. Both games in HD would be so swell.

@joey302 agree. A Double Dragon Collection in physical would be sweet. Just last month LRG did a Doom Collection with 1, 2 and 3 in the same cart for 29.99. Wonder if this Double Dragon decision was theirs or the brand owner.

At least, Joe & Mac is better than the arcade version being sold on Switch.

But... Where are Actraiser, Legend of the Mystical Ninja, Earthbound and Super Mario RPG?

Beautiful, beautiful figure. But yeah it should be used for another purpose. The warp functionality should be in the game as standard, except warping in dungeons.

@Noid you'll dig Mole Mania.

Seriously now, I always wished they made a version for DS or 3DS, with the top screen being the overworld and the bottom screen the tunnels you dig.

Limited Run, bundle Calculator, Xylophone and Piano and take my money!

Regarding the release of Virtual Boy titles on the 3DS, a shareholder asked about this on the 73rd Annual General Meeting of Shareholders.

Q3: I have been waiting for the return of Virtual Boy ever since the launch of the Virtual Console service for Nintendo 3DS. Do you have any concrete plans? I would like you to look into the possibility since I feel that there is a fairly large number of people in my generation and later generations who have not played Virtual Boy.

A3 Iwata: I cannot talk about any unannounced products on occasions like this, but Virtual Boy is a game console Nintendo launched in the past that allows players to experience a 3D world in black and red only by just looking into it. It was not a commercial success, but some say that it was an attractive and extremely unique product by the standards at that time. I believe your comment is that we should take advantage of our software assets from Virtual Boy and I would like to take note of that advice for the future.

For a system with so few games, there are many gems like Wario Land, Mario Clash, Galactic Pinball, Teleroboxer, Red Alarm and others (never got to play Jack Bros and I wish Zero Racers, Bound High and Dragon Hopper had been released). Yes, they are all short, arcade like experiences, but that's exactly the point, since the devs knew the system could not be played for long períods of time.

These are all fine and well, but so short-lived, never reaching its true potencial. On the other hand, the Sega 3D Classics Series felt more complete.

Really wish we got Donkey Kong, Punch-Out and The Legend of Zelda, both of which, considering its perspective, would look amazing in 3D.

@Deltath Super Mario Run follows the same style and presentation of the New games. It could have been called New Super Mario Bros Run. Also, don't forget NSMB 2 has auto run levels.

@Slowdive Yes, exactly. The release of NSMB 2 just there months before stole some of its thunder and did not convince 3DS owners they needed to buy a new system for another 2D Mario. Otherwise, NSMBU is the best in the New series by far.

All 4 New Super Mario and Super Luigi are excellent games, the weakest being New Super Mario Bros 2, if you don't count Mario Run. The fact that NSMB 2 was not stellar and released 3 months before NSMBU damaged the series a bit in my opinion. I am looking forward to more 2D Super Mario, but here's hoping the next one either has a big overhaul or has a change in presentation.

Here is my overall ranking:

NSMBU>NSMBW>NSLB>NSMB>NSMB2/Run

Nintendo is sure to cash in on the craze with Calculator 99, Calculator for Smash and a Calculator amiibo.

Looking forward to the update that included cloud saves, online multiplayer and hopefully a graphics DLC.

I think not releasing a dual pack retail version is a missed opportunity

Makes sense since this team developed Jungle Beat, which was also 2.5D. Looking forward to it.

@Paraka a physical bundle of Calculator, Paint and Minesweeper with cloud save, online multiplayer and battle royale will be the greatest killer app of all time. I predict at least 100 million copies sold.
