@fabiop Honestly these days it better to wait then pre order, waiting allows for patches for extra content or fixes and a better price like from a sale, Done that with Croc, got it for half price and it's the platinum edition with extra content and fixes.
@Itsashame I dunno it's a lot for a spin off that's not really for everyone as it's clearly showing, think dropping the price might help people try it.
I know there using it as a reason to buy a Switch 2 but honestly I think Switch 1 could of done decent GameCube emulation, fact we got Sunshine in wide screen and hd textures and on a cartridge on Switch 1 proves it can be done. Still odd why Sunshine hasn't been added yet to NSO tho Wario World is more then welcomed
@EarthboundBenjy yeah I remember that, I thought it was strange playing it after launch thinking could of sworn there was another lyxn game here last week only to discover it was removed and had to delete the update just to play it since when I first got I didn't play it when I was gonna try it they removed it.. as you said it's back now but man this is annoying.
Pretty glad I didn't buy this now, remember when capcom did the street fighter 30th anniversary collection it was all on the cartridge, if anything they should of delayed the physical version untill it's ready...all for a small n64 rom.
@Nintendo4Sonic Just like the original Kirby air ride on GameCube, I mean it's took 22 years just to make a sequel to a Kirby spin off not many have ever played.
@HingryHuppo I mean they can always update it later on with extra content like the TMNT shredder's revenge and Streets of Rage 4 did, it's often better to just wait for the sale and improvements to come along.
@Gohanjin Quite surprised it's coming to PS4 as well when Sony already said there stopping support for PS4 starting next year, feel they could of made something more interesting like a Megaman maker there was one in the PS3 era but it was cancelled or FPS Metroid prime style platformer again retro studios almost made one during the PS3 era or a 3D Megaman like legends perhaps even a remake like the psp got in Japan but nope we just getting another classic style 2.5D Megaman game... In 2027..some future.
@Anti-Matter I doubt it's anything that deep, if you played the Mario games, Bowser Jr thinks Mario is the bad guy Just like his dad he often bails out Bowser when Mario beats him.
@BaldB3lper78 We already got Indiana Jones and the great circle a Xbox Series X game coming to Switch 2 next year so anything is possible just need to be patient, honestly would love to see Forza Horizon 4 on Switch 2, loved that world setting with the Lego and 007 cars dlc.
Where the heck is Donkey Kong 64 and the original Super Smash Bros?! The original Wii virtual console had the OG Smash Bros, Wii U had DK64 and the Bomberman 64 games what's the hold up?! Is gonna take a couple more years?
I'll stick to using Red Viper on 3ds if I want to play Virtual Boy games since you can play it in 2D and in any colour you want, and don't need any accessories to play it, while it's nice Nintendo remembered the virtual boy tho they should of done it with the 3ds this is a real hard sell and there making the same mistakes why this thing flopped in the first place...they should of added DS games instead even the Wii U had DS games on the VC.
@Jack_Goetz I'll say it was still rushed due to the fact they weren't planning to release the Switch 2 so early this year, only cus of the leaks, remember playing Mario Kart 8 Wii U without is pretty hard to go back to, it took a long while before it became the hit it is now on Switch.
Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Legend (DS) at 10th best "We'd never choose to play this over the full-fat version, but it comfortably beats the GBA entry that carries the same name." Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Legend (GBA) at 9th best... uhhh?...where's the logic here?
What a splendid fax! Man still wish Nintendo brought Rare on...there so wasted at Microsoft...really only good thing to come out of that deal was Rare Replay...
@Anti-Matter Nah the Wicked movies are overrated trash, I never want to see it a 2nd time, it was like watching paint dry, Sonic movies are surprisingly good and Sonic the Hedgehog 3 was amazing, the characters are awesome and so is the action, no dull moments unlike Wicked for good, can't wait to see Amy in Sonic the Hedgehog 4 one of the few things SEGA is doing right these days.
@rushiosan Might of been better if they picked something like Dirt Dash or Rave Racer which offers more tracks and cars, and modes too again this could of been worth it if it has online multiplayer since it's meant to be played as a group of players not a sole game.
@Willo567 Nah it ain't it's just putting a rom into a emulator and just quickly explaining how to play it, no extras like the history behind the game like a flyer or a blurb explaining how the game was released, Mame did this for free since the 2010s or for a game like this online multiplayer *M2 did it for Virtua Racing and even Super Street Fighter 2 on Mega Drive for Wii's VC https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2011/11/japan_gets_super_street_fighter_ii_with_online_play_on_vc * as much I want to play this I can't justify the price when I could just play it on Mame for free.
@MikeP for Ridge Racer it was ok remember it was the first textured 3D arcade racing game, and while having one track it has 2 two versions of it with 4 modes that work great for replay getting the best times, it's like Pacman which also only has one level/maze it's a classic but Tokyo Wars is bit of a hard sell, only two levels one mode this 1996, Ridge Racer was 1993.. not many even played it before and I think the lack of online multiplayer is it's biggest issue "considering it's designed to be played by groups of real players not ai bots" if M2 can add online multiplayer for Virtua Racing on Sega Ages Switch 1 then what was stopping hamster? It worries me for stuff like Rave Racer or Ridge Racer 2...has the same track and such as one, the reason it exists is to add multiplayer... Split screen isn't ideal and sucks you need a Switch 2 or PS5 to even do that...come on Hamster stop over charging people or start putting actual effort into these releases*another small thing would be nice if they included some history about the games your buying like Namco Museum used to do or like Atari 50 is doing*
@Jeronan Easy solution don't buy Playstation, last one I brought new was a PS Vita, Microsoft have down faster then Sega tho Sony could easily turn this around if they made use of their ips tho same with Microsoft they own Rare IPS, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro...
@shiningpikablu252 It's still not really something like Little Big Planet, or Crash or even the original Ratchet and Clank series, to me it just seems like a tech demo while fun it's not enough to buy a PS5 for.
@jobvd Sony hasn't been great since the PS3 era, aside from Spiderman which is on PC and the odd Ratchet game also PC.. oh and astro bot nice pack in/starter game but...so was Wii Sports and that got more games in that series they got nothing really to offer, other a over priced limited PC console sure graphics are good for now but with the lack of exclusive games if you really want the best graphics and game range your just get a actual gaming PC man I miss stuff like the PSP and PS Vita still use mine they were great handhelds that were Also region free.
@N00BiSH I mean it's Super Mario, a series not exactly well known for storytelling barring RPG spin offs, while Galaxy 1 has the storybook it's in the background and is just like the old back stories you would get in game manuals you could beat the game and totally skip it I mean none of the games even have full spoken dialogue, despite hiring new voice actors to do same sounds, was playing Sunshine it honestly surprised me to see Peach and Bowser Jr speak full sentences not just "Mario!!" "OH" "hahaha!" This ain't no Ghostbusters in terms of writing, something a bit closer to Popeye movie. Still wish we got that instead of the emoji movie, such a waste
@X68000 I dunno Odessey was pretty amazing when it came out in 2017, and after playing Bowser's Fury a open world Mario game could be amazing! Tho even something like Galaxy 3 would be good too, aside from Sunshine*which is flawed but has it's moments* every 3D Mario game has been amazing.
@NintendoWife Remember Donkey Kong was only created to fill in the role of Bluto, while Mario was created cus they couldn't use Popeye, plus if it wasn't for Super Mario Bros Nintendo wouldn't be as huge as it is now, that and Zelda ofc.
Really reminds how Sony kept making and selling PSones even getting some game support for it for a few years after the PS2 came out Same with the PS2 co existing with the PS3 for a few years, even the GBA SP lasted another 6 years in production and also got game support for a few more years after the DS came out, the GBA and PSone serve as great budget value consoles considering how expensive Switch 2 and especially PS5 is it's great Switch 1 is still going, I still love using my golden Zelda Switch Lite more then any other console.
@raymond23 Nah Banana sucked, they could of done so much more with it, at least Mario Kart World shows off what the Switch 2 can do and unlike passed Mario Kart games tried something different.
@rjejr Here's a idea.. don't buy it, I honestly didn't think it looked that good would rather play any Rare's 64 Donkey Kong games instead there's no reason why they can't add it along with Diddly Kong racing, we have Goldeneye, Banjo, and Perfect Dark but not the ones with Nintendo's own characters?
@HingryHuppo Think it only got the tag line "Super Mario World 2" just to help it sell in the west since in Japan it's just called Yoshi's Island 🏝️ it's own series much like Donkey Kong is outside the arcade games, DK 94 and the MvsDK games.
@RasandeRose might actually shift some xboxs if they made use of the IPS they own, don't own Banjo? And Crash? If they finished Crash 5 instead of cancelling it, they could rival Mario like Sony did in the 90s
@Haruki_NLI it might come later like Indiana Jones, tho it might be better if they just port master chief collection instead since that already has a remastered Halo 1 and 2.
