By the time Xbox bought Rare they were a shadow of what they use to be.
Alot of talent had left them and gave us the likes of timesplitters.
Starfox adventures was a long in development disappointment and ive never personally liked it at all.
They also released a lot of meh gba games and grabbed by the ghoulies was very medicore and kameo though decent was very short and just didn't become a big hit (may been just the wrong game for its time).
Perfect dark zero was just awful.
I love N64 era Rare but it was a bit of a sinking ship already when xbox bought it.

@Mana_Knight I was the same but got it on 3ds and flew through it though in fairness there were other factors back as a kid beside me getting better at games in general.
1- with no save feature it had to be done in one sitting which on og gameboy could strain the eyeballs, wasnt always allowed the hour i needed to finish it in a sitting and also finding batteries were an issue for me as a kid.
2- I just never released how close I was at times to beating it so I'd often stop.
3- wasn't a big fan of the shooting levels.
4- had and completed Warioland as well and that was my go to gameboy game until pokemon arrived later on. Still never beat Metroid 2 though

I wonder if they will finally mention Prime 4 again.other than that whats left to port maybe Wind Waker or twilight princess from the WIi U versions .
Xenoblade Chronicles X maybe
Probably not Star Fox Zero but maybe F zero from gamecube.

Only use them in handheld mode and use a pro controller in tv mode. Dump them please they are too flawed go back to the drawing board.
Give us better options with a D pad and no drift .

No idea who this is for seems like a cluster of mismatched franchises trying to be an edgy version of a lego game.

Does any one actually xare about Funkos anymore. I never did but every Christmas you'd be given at least one by someone

@Uncle_Franklin more Donald Mustard and the fortnite team like everyone here could have told them Nintendo's answer to the proposal.

Like people are surprised by this? That nintendo who for decades have a policy of you want nintendo ips and nintendo games you play a nintendo system as their entire brand and main selling point over their competitors.
Apart from Cdi (which had unqiue reasons) and early mostly edutainment games on the pc they have always had that rule.
No I'm glad they put their foot down here as it would have only diluted the brand and message.
Xbox and Sony are putting some things on pc and we'll xbox on other platforms but that might be because they are losing money.
I don't think there would be an increase in Metroid dread sales but there would be alot of when is it coming to pc etc calls sure it's in fortnite so it's possible.....

@rvcolem1 makes perfect sense the right media for right place and time and some pretty good choices of shows and games there.
Just think anti-matter is pearl clutching if he thinks Shadow is just too extremely edgy for a Sonic movie, he's in Sonic boom cartoon and that netflix show like
Sure Shadow's very own edgelord game on Gamecube/ps2 only received a E10+ age rating from the ESRB in the day.

@rvcolem1 I think if was up to him there would be no media that isnt suitable for a sensitive 3 year old child.
To each their own but he really seems to struggle with the concept most gamers aren't interested in Paw Patrol and Ryan's racing. Shockingly based on sales figures people like Fifa,COD and GTA even if he doesn't.

Ha nope , just nope.
1 The avengers hype has been and gone.
2. like really it's Sonic films the character doesn't appeal the same way the MCU eh maybe did at this stage, with general audience.
3. Both movies so far have been okay but not great. They were fine but mostly carried by Jim Carrey and nostalgia. Reviews are no where near the initial marvel films reception.

People who are confused by this if you play Mk 1 story mode ( stop here if you dont want a spoiler) towards the end you have an string of fights against fighters from other timelines/unniverses usually a mix of 2 existing fighters with a combined name or a gender swap version. She's just one of these that's one of the Kameo or assists , they run in perform an attack and run off.

Even during the good times of physical media I'd only really get consoles at gamestop.
The very rare games I'd buy there were limited to only thegames you can't get elsewhere like some JRPGs or anime games due to the Gamestop tax which was always 10-20 extra for anything compared to any other outlet like Smyths,argos etc.
Then amazon killed that off as you can pretty much get any game off them.
Digital hurt them but also the likes of Cex and more catered retro gamestores muscled them out of physical second hand games too.

@FreasurePlanten yeah I don't know what Nintendolife has against listing Euro prices like you do get Eurozone readers like myself that would love to not have to open the eshop to see extactly what it's going for here.

@XandertheWise it's for the European sales, you want dollars go see the North American sales articles on the site. They are separate eshops with separate sales and separate accepted currencies how are you not grasping that basic fact.

It's a European eshop sale not a US sale. Why would they list it in dollars you can't even pay in dollars for them.youd have ron convert into a European currency Be nice if they listed the Ruro prices as well as pounds though.

@SilentHunter382 good call I completely forgot it existed maybe it might also come to NSO

@Truegamer79 i dont think its that easy ,Ps3 even gives Sony a hard time with emulation . Hence its only available on ps4 and 5 through a patchy cloud services work arround that use to be called playstation now.

Not like they have alot of options. Its got to be at least 4, 5 (including ground zero) and Peace walker. After that maybe portable ops and acid 1 &2. I don't know if will ever get twin snakes again.
Rising and survive don't really fit.

There was alot of internet reports that Yuzu supposedly had Tears of the Kingdom before/on launch day. It also seeminglt made alot of money from Patreon and of course the Switch is a live system.

Of course Nintendo turned its attention to them.
Let's not pretend other companies wouldn't.

I've come to the conclusion that Nintendo seems to generally ignore these things until they either make money, or are current console or conflict with its planned releases.

Basically Yuzu was making too much noise and money for Nintendo to ignore so it went after it.

Of course it also scares off others doing the same and of course you can't remove them all but you don't want your console being in a position where its latest game is easily pirated. The easier it gets the more people will do it.

Well its not modern and it's discontinued so it's not current. They sell 3ds games in retro games stores. Like yeah makes you feel old. Sure live long enough and game long enough and it will keep happening. I've experienced it with the consoles of my school to college years the N64, Gamecube and even the wii. Eventually you get like people in their 20s that game but have simply never actually played your formative gaming years consoles once.

Why is she "Lisa Mario" but Homer is just Wario?

@Kekshook really? You don't think Nintendo has top lawyers advising them. The rest is an educated guess based on my experiences. Companies don't just randomly sdstart lawsuits without been advised how strong a case they have beforehand.

I love how people state Nintendo has no grounds to sue on these articles as if Nintendo doesn't have an army of lawyers that have reviewed it and said yes there's a good chance at least of us being successful in a court room.

@Anti-Matter you really need to stop trying to twist every announcement in favour of the same opinion everytime. Likes of Bluey and Paw Patrol aren't shifting PlayStation consoles, are multiplatform releases, don't appeal to Sonys target audience at all and they exist on PlayStation without Sony having to make them..You could argue Sonys spending too much on likes of tent pole releases like Spiderman and the last of us etc but that's what is keeping Sony ahead of Xbox sales.

Such moaning over something never promised to release at all.
-Nintendo don't decide what games Microsoft puts on switch.
-Also Rare Replay is a bit of a mess of backwards compatibility with older xbox titles rather than one game, wouldn't be easily ported.

• Nintendo owed shares in Rare back in the past but it never owned them or had a majority.
  get a cheap Xbone if you must play them . The games dirt cheap.

Never let the absence of facts get in the way of all this share nonsense.

He JIm carrys these films.
I really wish they would ditch the human characters apart from the good doctor.

@Serpenterror I was in japan at the end of 2022 until early 2023 I visited many game stores, toy stores and tech stores and saw no evidence of this at all.

Only 2ds/3ds I saw were second hand ones

Too many underdeveloped sonic games released too close together that are mostly average games.

They never stick with any formula long enough to properly improve it.

Yikes I've been collecting these for ages now, must be close to a decade . Moved 3-4 times changed jobs twice. Finally completion is at hand. Presumably amiibo also will fade away too (I know other series but smash was the consistent line, zelda ones etc popped up when game released than stopped)

It's amazing how Metroid both dread and Prime, Baynotta, astral chain , Mario Rpg , Shin megami tensi , xenolade and pikmin entries are all beaten by likes of switch sports, clubhouse games and ew 1 2 switch

These games do have problems and I've come across plenty of them while playing them but I feel they are somewhat overblown in severity vs my actual enjoyment playing it.

That said I feel the franchise deserves more care and polish and frankly talent than gamefreak can ever provide.

Regardless of whether Switch 2 or N 11 is coming this year they aren't going to say it in a report before they actually have a big show off of the system. Otherwise they are telling customers the switch is almost dead don't buy it but also we got nothing else to sell atm.

I'm sure it will be something like hifi rush on all platforms, probably starfield on playstation,something about next call of duty, a general desire to bring gamepass to the world and maybe few older games heading to switch.

I was a sonic fan during the megadrive days and I've never counted sonic 3 and knuckles as one game due to the fact that sega while indeeding it to be one gsme during development then decided to split it in two so they could charge twice for it. A practice it continued on wii virtual console and the xbox 360 etc.
So if it's not sold as one game it isn't one game in my head. I had sonic and knuckles for years before I finally got 3 on the megadrive.

Whatever about Palworld this one's definitely trying to pass itself off as a pokemon game

Basically all that's saying is Nintendo has a hard act to follow and they think it probably won't be as much of a run away success as the Switch was.
In fairness after a big success it's hard to follow it up again when so much of the equation was the right things at the right time.
Not saying Switch 2 will be a failure but they are betting it won't top the switchs success.

The best thing about the subspace emissary was the cutscenes that half told a vague story without any dialogue, the worst part was its actual Gameplay.

@LadyCharlie as opposed to what Gameboy, GBA,Nes,Snes, Megadrive , etc games which aren't?

Like these are legitimate releases, I'm sure you have to actually get all the right holders to agree that it can go up on NSO . Like all them Sega games didn't go up without an agreement with Sega that they could and I'm sure some sort of payment deal was agreed.

Depends on what kind of storage it uses and how easily expanable it is, like if it's sd cards again I've few of them knocking about that wouldn't necessarily want to be paying more for more internal storage.
If it's an ssd you'd hope for about 500-800gb actually useable. Those xbox expansion cards are great in practice but so pricey

@DennisReynolds aw that takes me back to the days of regretting which version of street fighter 2 I had because it didn't have the bosses playable or the new challengers etc.

It's time for it. Feels like there's no major excitement left in current switch lineup.

So they only got 30 seconds? That's ridiculously low. You have 90 seconds tokick fir the conversion in rugby.

Surely 2and a half to 3mins max would be enough time for it and to keep show moving.

Weridly missing Smash Bros and DK 64 atm.
Hopefully get Perfect Dark and Diddy Kong racing.
Love to see Rogue squadron and Shadows of the empire too. (Even if Shadows platforming parts were very dodgy)They are very much big N64 games in my head. Shadows was even advertised on the box of the N64.

I feel they say this evey second month.
Like either bring it to switch or don't.
Pointless saying it over and over again without a solid plan and Nintendo being on board.

Too expensive, not what most people wanted the mix of 2d and 3d looks and simply just not good enough to compete with heavy hitters in its release window.

I think it needs a glow up remaster so that it looks like I think it looks like in my head until I play it. Gameplay has mostly aged well as long as the water temple is sorted out a bit.

Voice actors and actors shouldn't cross over in general. Two separate skill sets and I feel few people possess both.

Never really played the original as it skipped my region until VC. Tired it once or twice but never stayed with it long enough for it to click so looking forward to the modern remake which I'm way more likely to actually play tbh.

Sony isn't just playstation and frequently doesn't see Nintendo as direct competition to the playstation vs the direct threat of Xbox.

The whole cd things long in the past and sure they are both japanese companies so it makes sense. Also if there's money to be made for both then they will do it.
