Fire Red maybe. I have a really long backlog of RPGs so I should not add any more to the list, and even less a remake of a game that I played almost 30 years ago. But I remember having a lot of fun with my Pokémon Red.
But why do people talk about greed? TPC doesn't own you anything. They do a market studio, they research how much money people would pay for the game and they release it this way. This is a business and gaming is a luxus. Nobody is pointing a gun at you to buy games. You don't die If you don't play a game, don't forget it.
Nintendo and TPC are companies with well paid happy employes and healthy finances. Greed would be having crappy work conditions and overpaid suits.
I bought it and I am quite enjoying it. Wario is fantastic and it is more comfortable to use than I thought. I love the japanese industrial design of the 90s so when I get bored of it, I will leave it on the shelf as a milestone of the good old days, when companies still wanted to take risks. All the glory to Gunpei Yokoi!
2010: we are not paying 10€ for just a game, Nintendo should do like Netflix and offer a subscription plan for these old games. 2020: we don't want to pay a subscription for old games, I want to buy for fifth time the very same games! 2026: Nintendo dropped the ball here, they should make old games in a subscription available! 2126: where is Virtual Chrono Trigger!
We are not talking about some 30 year old games with their developers being about to retire. Here we talk about systems still in the market. And it is always interesting that most of these "hackers" target a Japanese company with a legion of haters in the Internet who want it to go third party.
What I see is a delivered attempt to damage Nintendo and I understand that the company uses its legal resources to avoid it.
In the West Nintendo needs to pump some classic franchises: Super Mario, 1080º, F-Zero, Wave Race... Soccer and basketball needs competition against 2k and EA (Konami? Sega? ). They need to convince millenials, the kids will come later.
Mischief Makers was published by Enix, so I don't see it coming to the NSO. Anyway, this game would be a perfect target for a remake with full 3D graphics and a different control setting for modern controllers.
@Glassneedles For NES and GB I would remap the Select Button to L, as L and R are not needed. For GBA, C-Left and C-Down are my Start and Select buttons. For snes as far as I know you cannot remap the C-buttons unfortunately.
Once they update the Mega Drive app with the mapping option, the N64 controller will be the best classic controller to play with the NSO games: home button, six front buttons, great dpad and better ergomomics than the Snes controller.
The filter was good, now is great. What a pity that we cannot have the same filter for other pixelart games. Final Fantasy VI looks horrible with the one from Squarenix. The same with the Mega Man games.
@Varkster. Nintendo games are pure joy and in this world this cannot be tolerated, it must be destroyed. I've even read posts of young people that cannot enjoy their machines because all the social network negative noise. This is sad.
I still read my magazines from the 90s and even with the console wars stuff, the mood is great, positive and fresh. Nowadays they want you unhappy and rage bait gives clicks.
I am looking forward to buying my Switch 2 at Christmas, like in the old days!
I was there, hating this game after the Spaceworld demo. A couple of year later, it became my second favourite Zelda game after Ocarina. What a lovely adventure!
I don't have any Switch 2, but I found something interesting: the controller leds don't light when pressing buttons, only when you press the synchronizations Button. Does it mean that the controller is off and doesn't drain drain any battery like the Switch controllers? Because I find it great in order to keep the battery healthy, as with the Wii U Pro Controller.
@Dom_31 For me, it was a shock to switch from the precision of the N64 joystick to the Gamecube controller. Also, the D-pad was awful compared to the N64's. Not to mention the lack of six face buttons.
PlayStation : 299 $ 30 years ago, around 620 $ with today prices. What were the people expecting for a new system? The console looks grate. Exactly the update I was looking for. Now let's see what New games do we get.

Re: Poll: 20 Years On, Does Your DS Lite Still Have Charge?
Well, I still use it weekly so better the battery holds 20 years more, haha.
Re: Yes, Pokémon FireRed & LeafGreen Are Getting Home Support
What is the emulation like? Can you apply filters? Smaller screen?

Re: Poll: Will You Be Getting Pokémon FireRed Or LeafGreen On Switch?
Fire Red maybe. I have a really long backlog of RPGs so I should not add any more to the list, and even less a remake of a game that I played almost 30 years ago. But I remember having a lot of fun with my Pokémon Red.
Re: Gallery: Here's A Look At Pokémon FireRed And LeafGreen On Switch
Without grey borders! There you have the additional 10€ on top. They have to develop the technology for it!

"Game preservation" or how to put yourself a moral white armour to cover stealing.
Re: Rayman: 30th Anniversary Edition Is Getting A Physical Switch Release
@EarthboundBenjy
Wow...
So they basically sell products without any kind of quality control and support. Just some ROMs packed with a bad emulator for 20 €.
Another great job from Digital Eclipse and Ubisoft.
Re: Pro-Evolution Soccer Successor 'eFootball' Is Getting A Switch 2 Exclusive Spin-Off
I will wait for a full review. The framerate in the Direct was a bit odd.
Re: Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase Announced For Tomorrow, 5th February 2026
Ridge Racer 2 Remake to test the waters before a new entry.
Re: Poll: What Nintendo Switch 2 Games Are You Most Excited For In 2026?
"Am I out of touch? No, it's the children who are wrong."
I want second/first party sport and racing titles, 3D Mario, Animal Crossing, weird cheap B-class games. Until it happens, the Switch 2 can wait.

Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's N64 Library With Two Classic Platformers
Awesome, Rayman 2 is a great game. Tonic Trouble however... It has its charm, but plays like a beta of Rayman.
Re: Nintendo To Acquire Bandai Namco Studios Singapore As A Subsidiary
Wasn´t this studio the responsible of the failed Ridge Racer development for the Switch?

Re: Switch Online's GBA App Has Been Updated (Version 3.0.0)

Re: Switch Online's SNES Update Has Apparently Upgraded The CRT Filter
The filter was good, now is great. What a pity that we cannot have the same filter for other pixelart games. Final Fantasy VI looks horrible with the one from Squarenix. The same with the Mega Man games.

@Isaix Devil's Crush has a word here!
Re: iFixit Performs A Full Teardown Of Nintendo's "P**s-Poor" Pro Controller
In 20 years, millions of swollen batteries catching fire. All because greedy companies didn't allow us just to retire the battery to store it. Nice.

Re: Review: Arcade Archives 2: Ridge Racer (Switch 2) - Still A Thrill, More Than 30 Years Later
As much as I love Ridge Racer, the price is just too much for an arcade title. RR Type 4 is just 10 € in the PlayStation store!

Re: Video: Do You Even Need A Pro Controller For The Switch 2?
The wireless Gamecube controller will be my Pro Controller 2. For the rest, the grip.
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's Game Boy Library With Four More Titles
Seeing the Konami Logo twice makes me think that some day we will get the Goemon games on the NSO.
I was always interested in the Survival Kids serie. Nice Addition.
Re: Video: Nintendo Gives Us A Closer Look At Switch 2's GameCube Controller

Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's N64 Library With Another Game
Ultra game, awesome gameplay, super fun.
Re: Switch 2 GameCube Controller 'Early Purchase' Goes Live Next Week (North America)
Not that I neccesarily need it, but these analogue triggers will be sweet for my PC, as long as the controller is compatible with it (I hope so!).
Re: Three Sega Genesis / Mega Drive Games Have Been Added To Switch Online's Expansion Pack
@Serpenterror was it based in the arcade version? I have only played the MD version that I got together with Alien Storm and Super Monaco pack.
I also miss the Sega Ages. My first Switch games were Virtua Racing and well, Neo Turf Masters.
Re: Three Sega Genesis / Mega Drive Games Have Been Added To Switch Online's Expansion Pack
Where is my Sega Chrono Trigger, Nintendo?
Jokes apart, nice to finally have Streets of Rage for the NSO. Not a Fan of eSWAT. Super Thunder Blade is just horrible.
