Reminds me of when Sonic 1 was suggested to be bundled with the Mega Drive, and Sega of Japan was not happy about the decision. It paid off and it helped Sega with sales.
To me, it sounds like Japan just don't like including games with the console. I agree with Reggie that while Wii Sports is awesome, it's not something I would have paid full price for.
@Nintendo_Thumb The Donkey Kong 2 list for the US was extremely bad. The PAL version for DK2 keep like 4 of the good ones and put a much better selection in. The Japan list is also good if you can get a hold of it.
Is the part that the Studio is Polish really important to mention? That's like mentioning Warforward is a American Studio.
Nick picking aside, it sounds like holding the Joycon like a gun isn't great. Oh well, might as well stick with the Wii version.
@CharlieGirl
The issues at least did get fixed with Sonic Colors Ultimate, and I feel people were blowing them out of purportion.
When I played with the latest patches, the one issue I encountered with the Switch version was Sonic fell through the floor and got stuck in the area where you were meant to be drilling. Only happened once, and restarting the level fixed the problem.
@Nincholate
The issue is that Jim Carrey has given a unique comedic personality to Robitnik (which I'm not really a fan of). Something that would be hard for another actor to recreate if he doesn't return for the third movie.
Jim is in his early 60s, so it's not surprising he is considering the possibility of retiring. Still, I will be surprised if he doesn't come back in Sonic 3.
Anyone who has bought GTA: Definitive Edition, a broken mess of a game, should be put on the naughty list for supporting games that get rushed during development. 😜
Puyo Puyo 2 on the 3DS. Also have been playing Timesplitters Future Perfect since it has finally been made backwards compatibility on Xbox One. It's time to to split!
Even if they did get the Controller Pak working on the emulator, it won't really make Mario Kart 64 any better. I think people forget it uses all the blocks for a Controller Pak, and for what, the ability to save 2 ghosts (yes, only 2), and runs have to be decent for them to even record (so if you hit an object for example, it will stop recording).
The rumble feature isn't really an issue. These are clearly roms being used. Since Japan got an updated version, it would make sense they get that one. Although it's kinda odd to include the original when All-Stars uses the Japan Rumble version with other improvements. So just go and play that one.
Also, USA/EU get the better version of Yoshi Story (https://tcrf.net/Yoshi%27s_Story#Regional_Differences). Poor Japan having to deal with the inferior Japan version (although they could play the USA version where the Japan language can be selected).
The USA version of Yoshi Story had a lot of fixes improved from the Japan version. Plus the Japanese language option is there. So Japan users may want to get the USA N64 App to play the better version. 😀

Yoshi has a shell on his back like Bowser. So it sort of makes sense.
Re: Memory Pak: Making New Memories With Earthbound In 2022
Super Mario RPG is way better than Earthbound. You have to time your attacks, and you choose to fight an enemy.

The N64 version of Mario Golf is fine, but the GameCube version is much better.

Re: Three Sega Genesis Games Have Been Added To Nintendo Switch Online's Expansion Pack
@Piyo The Wii version for the US release used the PAL rom, but used a patch to adjust the speed of the music.
I suspect the USA/Europe version on the Switch will be using the same method.
