I had no idea they were getting rid of the old one. I actually enjoyed playing it there for a while, and I still have it on my computer and tablet.

It obviously will not be VR on the Switch, but I was just wondering if this game got the VR treatment on PS? This looks like a perfect candidate for VR like they did with Tetris. That Tetris VR game is a freaking trip with the music and visuals. I could totally see this being equally awesome.

I honestly can't tell the difference >.<

I will NEVER support games that do not actually have the game on the cartridge. Cloud gaming is nothing more than a long term game rental.

I've been a professional programmer for over two decades, and everyone I've worked with over the years have always said the samething... do NOT go to work in the gaming industry unless you want to be overworked, grossly under paid, and get little to nothing out of the success that sometimes comes along for a well received release.

Seriously. Stop glorifying the gaming industry. It's sweatshop work that makes billions for those at the top at the expense of those that actually do all the work.

I love my career, but the only way I will ever jump in to the gaming industry is if I make a game independently for myself.

I thought it was a good Nintendo Direct. I have no idea why some reviewers are so down on it.

I am excited about:

• Kirby
• Mario Strikers
• Nintendo Switch Sports
• Earthbound
• Mario Kart Deluxe 8 DLC
• Xenoblade Chronicles 3

The only thing that I had ZERO interest in was the Kingdom Hearts cloud version. I will NEVER pay for a cloud version of any game. That is such a very, very bad road that the industry is going down. You are NOT buying a game if you are paying for a cloud version. All you are doing is OVER PAYING to RENT a game until such time that they decide to stop providing it.

I may have pooped myself a little when I saw this announcement. I can't believe they finally are going to make it available to play.

I am so looking forward to this game! I love Kirby games. They make me feel like a kid again.

I really like that they are bringing Wii Sports back to life. I just wish they would have put the home run derby and archery games in this one. I really hope those come later to the game.

This looks so fun. I can't wait to get it.

I think its awesome that they went a more traditional old school route with this game. Not everything needs to be fancy new shiny graphics. Sometimes less is more.

I have one word for you... PERSONA.

I would buy a DLC expansion for this game. Best Pokemon game ever in my opinion.

Streamed this last night at twitch.tv/Pharone

Was disappointed that it wasn't available when I got home from work, but it gave me some time to mess around in some other N64 games on the Switch.

When the game finally was available though, it was well worth the wait. I had forgotten just how much fun this game is really. So much fun!

I plan to stream more of it tonight after work.

I think that the current generation of working class out there in the world right now think that this sort of thing is new. The reality is that working has sucked for ever.

The big difference between the current generation's workforce and that of a couple decades ago is that back in the day, people just kept their mouths shut and did their job until such time that they found a better job, and then they flipped off their boss, told them where to stick their head, and walked out the door strutting like they just won the lottery.

Today's workforce thinks that every time something happens that they don't like, it is suddenly news worthy. Sorry. It's not. You have a job. Congratulations for finally figuring out that having a job SUCKS.

My advice to you is simple. Start investing every dollar you can in to stocks, crypto, collectibles, etc. That way, you can retire in your 40s while everybody else that didn't do that works well in to their late 60s and early 70s before retiring.

Welcome to the real world.

I love my Switch, but only a fool would not realize that this is due to the fact that you literally can not walk in to any store and buy a PS5 or XBOX X anywhere in the world for the most part.

I would own a PS5, XBOX X, and Switch IF I could get them. I have the money. I have the desire. I have no access to buy them. The only thing I can actually buy IS the Switch.

Stardew Valley is one of my favorite games of all time, and Haunted Chocolatier is looking amazing too. I just can't get over how much I love the work he does.

• Maniac Mansion
• Zack McCracken and the Alien Mind Benders
• Day of the Tentacle
• Pools of Radiance
• Curse of the Azure bond
• Champions of Krynn
• The Ultima series
• The Bard's Tale series
• Archon
• Spy vs Spy
• 4th and Inches
• 1942 and 1943
• Arkanoid
• California Games

This is the game that will get me to pay for the N64 online server upgrade and buy the N64 controller.

My question is why did Nintendo go from having a really good motion control-based console to the Switch with lack luster motion control? It makes no sense. Motion controls on the Switch is horrible compared to Wii.

I really enjoyed Boom Blox, but the Switch needs to get a LOT better with motion control before a game like that would be good on it.

I am a huge fan of Kirby's Epic Yarn. I loved that game. It just plain made me smile every time I played it. It made me feel like a kid again with no worries in the world, and in a world with so much crap to deal with as an adult, that's a good thing.

I wonder some times if there shouldn't be two reviews for games like these; one for those who played the original game in the past, and one for those who have never played the original game.

I say this because while I can understand your rating of the game based on your expectations as someone who played the original game, I think that for someone who has never played the original and is experiencing this game for the first time, it probably is a little better than a 6 out of 10.

Looks like something to buy, never open, store away in a safe dry place, and sell for a ton thirty years from now because of how rare it will be due to nobody buying one.

Looks pretty cool. I might pick it up.

I just got through streaming the first two hours of the game on Twitch, and I am uploading the video to YouTube right now.

My first impressions are... WOW OMG I LOVE THIS GAME!

This was everything I wanted it to be and much, much more.

CAN ... NOT ... WAIT!!!

OMG... Thank You!

I bought it digitally, and will be streaming it live tonight on Twitch after work.

It's a good game. I pre-ordered it, and did a first impressions stream on Twitch. You can check out the video on YouTube @ https://youtu.be/-B0kvMYBkCw

It would be a day one purchase for me for sure.

@MikaelForslind Thanks. I just pre-ordered it.

Don't see it on the Nintendo eShop for pre-order.

@Silly_G if you have put in 200 hours in to any game, I'd say you got your money's worth and then some. In fact, the fact that you played AC for over 2 months straight to me means the game was a good purchase for you.

I think people's expectations of what AC should be for them is a tad out of whack.

No offense to anyone though. I'm just saying you paid about $50 and got a game that you played (and likely enjoyed for the most part) for over two months. That's not a bad thing.

THIS is why I buy games in PHYSICAL form. When you buy something digital, you are NOT buying it. You are RENTING it.

Stop being played by the system.

Cracks me up that the 3DS still sales more units each week than the XBOX ONE. I still very much love my 3DS. If the Switch Light would have had a clam shell built in and play all 3DS games, I would have bought one in a heart beat.

I'm officially pissed off at Covid-19 now. Stupid virus messing with my gaming news. That's too far.

@kepsux I was very excited about getting Kid Icarus: Uprising back when it came out, and.... it was not good. I was so disappointed with it. If they gave that game a perfect review, then I have to question their reviews as being relevant to me.

If this was half off in America, I would buy one for sure. I'm not paying $59.99 for a couple controllers that I will use maybe once every other month.

It's all fun and games until your Switch is bricked. There is no way in hell I am trying any dock other than one made directly by Nintendo. Nope. No. Nada. Nein.

If they made the NES, SNES, Gamecube, and N64 (with built in HDMI output) that was 100% compatible with all original cartridges/CDs, I would ***HAPPILY*** buy one of each and be buying the games.

There's literally no reason for Nintendo to not be making money off of their existing products and game library.

The way to handle this is to update the systems for HDMI and replace parts with newer parts that "do the same thing" while being more efficient and less expensive. Sale them from the Nintendo online store rather than at retailers because it is going to be a niche audience and would fail most likely if they were to ship millions of units to retailers.

Then just have all of the games (ALL OF THEM!!!) purchasable from the Nintendo online store and create them on purchase. There's literally no reason to have a million copies of Mother sitting in a warehouse. Just create the cartridge when it is ordered online, and ship it out.

Nintendo is leaving tons of money on the table by not doing this right now.

That list sucked. Gengar should have been number 1.

Everybody should temper their expectations some on any announcements coming out soon. As much as we would like to believe that everything is fine and dandy, the corona virus is having an affect on all businesses. Japan is dealing with the virus right now as we speak. An announcement for games coming out this year kind of takes a back seat to health. Cut them some slack and be patient.

Stardew Valley is the best game on the list.

Hmmm... four games I never owned as a kid. I'll try each of them of course. Not super excited though.

Looks like fun, and the price seems perfect.

Just ordered mine! Thanks.

Bring all Persona games to Switch in Physical form for us collectors please.

@60frames-please I agree. Sky Force Reloaded is the shmup I play the most. Love it.

Stardew Valley is one of my all time favorite games. Can't wait to see what he makes next.

Port all Persona games to Switch, and give me PHYSICAL copies to buy of each one. TAKE MY MONEY!

I just don't understand why Nintendo abandoned the idea of storing save data on the cartridge itself. Why the hell wouldn't I want my Pokemon saved on my pokemon cartridge and my Animal Crossing data saved on its cartrdige? This is just stupid.
