Nostalgia Nerd purchased one and did a re-boxing video (boxed it up to send back). A corner of the base was missing and according to him wasn't present within the base or in the box potentially meaning it was packaged and shipped already damaged.

The only SNES Classic you'll be able to get...

Heinz Chicago Dog Sauce. Yes, Heinz trolled Chicago- look it up.

I still vote for pie. 8)

I believe I participated, at least in part, in all but one Splatfest on the original game. This will be the first of many missed on the new one- no Switch for me.

Oh, and I choose pie.

Would have much preferred the movies to use platinum points. Or better yet, make a way to exchange platinum points for gold points. Roughly 1 gold = 10 platinum, right? I wouldn't even mind a convenience fee like 120 platinum for 10 gold (though of course would prefer direct conversion, no fee).

Thanks for this service NL. However, I have no intention of preordering this much as I would not mind owning one. If I can't walk into a store some time after release and find one on the shelves, they will not get my money (if I even have any money come October, but that's another issue). Simply put, I will not play their under-supply game- there are too many other options I can utilize to play these games if they don't want my money by not keeping up with demand.

To be fair to @SLIGEACH_EIRE (first comment) I read the headline that way- need some coffee.

Definitely doesn't make sense considering Megaman's roots (same with the Disney Afternoon Collection). However, did they outright say it isn't coming to Nintendo systems, or are we just going by the trailer video which doesn't show them? While I can see the absence on 3DS due to the systems 7 and 8 were originally released on (of course the N3DS can handle an emulated 7, though of course they can be ported rather than emulated so all systems can run them) there is no reason to skip the Switch. Perhaps they have a full collection in mind given the first was released long before the Switch, or they just don't have it ready yet.

Of course considering the Disney collection it doesn't look good for this one either.

List of Frostbite games that won't be seen at all or not in full glory on Switch similar to this one:

The true reason for ending NES Classic production was to do a "stability update" on it before a re-release to counter the mod that allows adding games.

@Tsurii If they release a Ni no Kini collection for Switch that would be the system seller for me as I already have Zelda BotW on WiiU.

That said, it's probably unlikely White Witch will be released on Switch, but maybe the new one. Prof. Layton or Yo-kai Watch games are even more likely.

I don't own a Switch either. Just laying that out there since it appears (to some at least) that one must have upgraded to the Switch in order to still be welcome to comment here.

Still playing Minecraft- nowhere. I tried it on a free weekend once and didn't get the hype.

So, no problem with this glitch.

"Yes, I have a Switch": 81%

Looks like most of us who haven't joined the Switch clan have dropped off this site altogether. Well, there's still me, and a certain Irishman I guess (yes some others too to reach that 19%).

"The name of this king of thieves is Ganondorf Dragmire, but he is known by his alias, Mandrag Ganon which means Ganon of the Enchanted Thieves." - A Link to the Past US manual, page 5.

Interesting. I never owned this game before getting it on the virtual console, or even the SNES for that matter. Like Joe Redifer I was a Sega guy back in the day (as well as NEC TG-16).

I see the headline and tags still leave Wii U out. Conclusion: Mr. Vogel appears to be one who chooses to not acknowledge the existence of the Wii U version. Not true? Then please correct me, and this article. Thank you.

@Kolzig Because people have decided that since Wii U is no longer current, it is longer relevant and have pushed it from their minds, forgotten its existence. Even the GE video completely ignored Wii U outside of a mention at the beginning that the patch is for Switch and Wii U. Hopefully if (and that's a big IF) someone does a patch/framerate comparison on the Wii U version NL will post that video too.

And I agree as well that the headline should be purged of the words "on Switch" since a patch is available for both systems. Wii U should be added as a tag as well. However, have they ever changed an inaccurate headline (not sarcasm- I really don't know- but my expectation depends on the answer)? I will be fair and suggest that when @SwitchVogel wrote the article perhaps only the Switch patch was announced/released. However, now that it's known the Wii U version also has a patch the article should be updated as mentioned- in fact, should have been when the GameExplain video was added.

@ZurapiiYohane "Unfortunately as an American, I can't tell the difference between a real and fake British accent."

Wasn't Dick Van Dyke simply perfect in Mary Poppins?

@Ralizah This. Those who don't like her for her accent, just stop thinking of it as an attempt at a British accent (since Zelda isn't British anyway) and instead perhaps as the Hyrule aristocracy speaks.

Wish I was interested in Pikmin 2, but I've barely played Pikmin 3 since getting it free with Mario Kart 8 (still can't abbreviate it "MK" as that goes with entirely different series to me- think: the current MK X and MK XL).

I've added Snake Pass to my Steam wishlist for its eventual sale.

I;m just glad it's releasing this soon- I have it backed on GOG (or Steam- one of them). I have another game I backed in 2012 that I'm still waiting for (SpaceVenture- still gets updates, not canceled).

@CB85 I recently learned that you can skip the cutscene, but until now I have not been able to- I think I saw the text "+ SKIP" only once. I just read today that you have to hit "X" then "+". Did they really have to make it more complicated than it should be? I'll try the X/+ combination next time I play- hopefully it will work.

My Gamecube is black...

Can't be that hard- PB&Jeff did it two-player co-op, with each one using one of the joycons. Yes, it took me forever to beat the Hinox on the bridge myself though, and it had only one shin/ankle guard.

I got Humble Bundle's NEOGEO bundle over a year ago and can play 23 games on pretty much any emulator, but it's nice to see people can play NEOGEO on the Switch now too.

No surprise here. Happened with Yooka-Laylee, now Bloodstained. I guess it's good that I selected PC version for both for the simple reason that one day the Wii U will die, will be expensive to repair, and I won't be able to easily replace it since it is no longer produced. One day my PC will die, but I can easily replace it, reinstall Steam and redownload those and my GOG games, and continue playing the games I purchased.

@Ballzilla Could you post that link again? I didn't see it the first 8 times you posted it. Seriously, couldn't you have replied to everyone in the same comment?

@MadAdam81 Sounds good to me. Nintendo- get on it. Oh, and reasonable prices, please.

@bimmy-lee Don't worry, I was just pondering, what with the recent news of what the Zelda Amiibos do in BotW when half of them are no longer available.

I wonder if an app for my phone exists that will provide the NFC data the Amiibos do? I'd limit myself to the ones that cannot be purchased new anymore, which is likely most of them. I know there was another piece of hardware available that stored all your Amiibo data, but unless there's data around that can be copied to it you have to have the Amiibos first in order to scan them and that's the trouble these days, isn't it?

@PanurgeJr
There's always a backlog to consider- I know I have a huge one and I am sure most others do as well. As our Irish friend, I'm putting off a Switch purchase too- partly because of funds but I would anyway as most titles I'm interested in is/will also be available on PC, and that is my preferred platform for those titles.

@Menchi187
Bitter much? To add to my reply to PanurgeJr, there is nothing wrong with the Wii U version of BotW or the system itself. The Switch BotW advantages are minor, IMHO- certainly nothing worth the purchase of a new system at this time. The Wii U is still a great system and I can play games from three generations natively on it (well, Gamecube compatibility had to be opened up by other software, but once opened the games run natively even if I have to have an .iso of each game I own).

Peanut Butter Gamer and Spacehamster had their own take on multiplayer BotW on PBG's gameplay Youtube channel:

What if they do implement cloud saves, but you have to have a paid subscription to their online service to get them?

@BenAV 'Sokay. My reply was probably a little over the top. But it is something that really can happen to anyone. Even those who read about this and are careful initially can easily let things slide later on as they get comfortable with the system, or maybe sometime the kickstand won't be in entirely and will catch on the dock and you won't notice until it's too late though you're carefully sliding it into the dock's opening. Even if careful is your norm, maybe one time you're with a group of friends and your attention is on several things at once and... Anyway, as I mentioned, it doesn't even have to be you that is careless- anyone who touches your system could run into this. Nothing on you, but these are just a few examples that show even if you are careful things can happen. That is all.

@the8thark Judging by all the "(at)Yasume" responses, I think your question has been answered- attention.

@JudgeMethos @BenAV So you've never messed up in your lives? Not even once? Before you answer, someone who knows you will be rolling on the floor having a big laugh if you answer in the negative. And just to not entirely crush your egos, it might not even be you who makes this error with your Switch, but a friend or family member.

Had to load this page in Chrome to hear the music (Soundcloud not working in Cyberfox- maybe it doesn't like an add-on)- sounds well done, but not to my taste. Game looks interesting though.

@TheLobster Now this one I've heard. In fact, I think "N.E.S." wasn't until later, when looking back on it. Definitely "Nintendo" at the time.

@dereq Hmm. I have never heard that pronunciation this side of the Atlantic (or Pacific for that matter- or any of the 7 seas... )

@gatorboi352 I know that's how the release happened, was it originally announced as a Gamecube exclusive? Wasn't paying attention to Nintendo news at the time.

PSA: "a NES": make sure to read this article with the British pronunciation in mind, "Ness," instead of the American "Enn Eee Ess"

@gatorboi352 Delaying the Wii U version would be a slap in the face- worse, a kick in the groin- to Wii U players considering it was originally to be a Wii U exclusive.

I only used it to mine miitomo/platinum coins in hopes of more free games. Since it stopped working on my tablet several months ago I haven't bothered with it, especially now that the free game trickle has been stopped up. Now I spend the remaining coins just before they expire on discounts that I will likely never use.

@Torterror Why, can't you tell from his name? Sligeach Eire => Irish/Gaelic for Sligo, Ireland. To be fair though, he may have named himself for reasons other than living there.

I'll get it eventually, but I still wish the graphics were from the original arcade games, not the NES games that were based on the arcade originals.

Well, if they want random picks from someone who doesn't know the series at all, then I can do that...

Seriously, I tried one of the games once, returned it to the library, then just forgot about it. The game just didn't click with me.

@Gold_Ranger When does the sale start for the USA? (ftfy)

Though we recently had a Zelda sale on some of the titles, so I don't know if we'll get this one.

@HnD Minish Cap is part of the sale...? Well, on Wii U- you're probably out of luck if you're looking for a 3DS version. As for Four Swords Adventures, that is for Gamecube, so not on the eshop since that is not a supported platform. There is still hope for putting GCN on Switch though, even if the joycons don't have analog triggers (they could support the Gamecube adapter and controllers, for example) so maybe one day.

Apparently this isn't a first. Stolen from a Nintendo Everything post by Exy:

I could go for a Hyrule Warriors DLC discount if we got it in the US. Hero pack all the way (currently don't have any of the DLC). I don't think that was discounted when we had a Zelda sale earlier. If it was, oh well- I missed it.
