I'm still baffled Game Mill got the opportunity to publish this. I coulda sworn THQ Nordic has the license for Nick games. And didn't Nick already have a decent kart racer all these years ago? The blueprints are there...
Given Game Mill's pedigree, it only comes natural to stay away from this.
@Mgene15 These aint quick games to make. Worth noting Retro City Rampage was previewed in Nintendo Power a couple years before release, and 4 years before it actually released on Wii.
@BulbasaurusRex Fooling with what? Any possible PG-13-esque pinball cabinet artwork? Beer and cigar imagery? The Pinball Arcade games are T-rated!! This is just weak, unjustified mudslinging they never had to throw.
Ok, that is low. Not so much the actual censorship, but them trying to dis The Pinball Arcade for their preservation steers me the wrong way like you wouldn't believe.
As for the censorship, as others have stated, why the crap would you bother doing this project if you're just going to not keep things faithful to the originals? Zen, for shame.....
I'm so addicted to Puyo Puyo Tetris that I'm one of the guys online with over 10,000 points.
That said, I'm only okay-ish at Puyo's gameplay. I might have to side with @OdnetninAges and hope for a more interesting game in the series to be released in the West, but eSports does have me a little intrigued anyway.
The appeal of the Gamepad really was the best thing that could have been incorporated into a future Nintendo console. The Switch nailed it right on the head and then some!
A Nickelodeon crossover with only 4 shows represented? One of them not being natively from Nickelodeon? Think I might stick with the Nickelodeon Racing game on PS1/arcade.
Ironically, I wasn't as interested in the newer series because they were all popular names that didn't appeal to me. It makes me wonder why they didn't do more Sam & Max, Strong Bad, or Monkey Island? They own two of those names, so licensing fees could be mute.
Still. shame to see an iconic studio crumble down this badly. I wish the laid off luck.
@Gs69 Donkey Kong is mechanically different on the arcade version. All three revisions are playable in the Hamster release, including the one the US got, which shakes up how the levels are ordered. For some reason, this detail is always left out when discussing differences; I feel that's the more important takeaway than the inclusion of the Pie Factory level and the graphics/audio changes. (Also there are online leaderboards)
For games like Mario Bros. and Excitebike on the other hand....There arent nearly as major differences. In fact, I think the sound is more bearable on Mario Bros. NES because Mario's footsteps are obnoxious as heck in the arcade.

Re: Reminder: Three New NES Games Have Launched On Switch Today, Plus Another Bonus SP Version
Woooow. I have alwaaaays wanted Nintendo to play most of Gradius for me. Thanks...Nintendo...
Re: Luigi's Mansions Scares Away The Competition To Snag Number One In The Japanese Charts
Hot damn, Nintendo be killing it!
I really need to pick up the new 3DS games sometime. I only just got acquainted with Mario Sports Superstars and the Mario Parties.
Re: Brains Behind Yooka-Laylee Demaster Wanted To Recreate "The Good Old Days"
Looks more like a PSP port.
Re: Video: The Pokémon Detective Pikachu Movie's First Official Trailer Has Landed
Not entirely sure how I feel about the look of the Pokemon, but it's got Ryan Reynolds and the trailer did get a laugh from me.
So I'm watchin'.

Re: Review: Sports Party - A Wii Sports-Style Social Experience That Sadly Lacks Depth
I'll wait a few years for it to hit a price of $10 or something.
Re: Video: Nintendo Would Like To Remind You That 2DS Exists This Christmas
I like the cheap alternatives they are providing, I'll say. $80 for a Nintendo system and game is a good deal to go for.

Re: Capcom Can't Make "Any Promises" About DLC Being Added To Mega Man 11
This game is great, but man was the music underwhelming. I'd be down with 8-Bit remixes, provided I don't pay for them.
I already own the game, y'know?
Re: Switch Couch Co-Op Game Bouncy Bob Is Now On Sale At 97% Off, Available For Just $0.14

Re: Grim Fandango Appears Out Of Nowhere On The European Switch eShop
Well now! How interesting.
Re: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Will Offer New Fighters, Stages And Music With Paid DLC
Cool for those that like DLC....?
I mean...I never bought Smash 4 DLC because I don't like paying for DLC.
More importantly, I feel like Sakurai and co. should just get that break. DLC seems like an unnecessary way for them to keep at it.
Re: Smash Bros. Ultimate Just Got A Whole Lot Deeper Thanks To The 'Spirit' System
I was sold on the mode........AFTER the end reveal.
Why wasn't the initial explanation paired with it as with typical Direct explanations?
But hey, new story! New hype trailer! Good stuff once all that's sunk in.
Re: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Direct Announced For 1st November
Well thanks for the birthday present, Nintendo!

Re: Starlink: Battle For Atlas Physical Release Will Require A 6GB Day One Update
It's better than the idea of a 15 GB day-one patch, but that's still a lotta gigs that could've been used for digital games..

Re: Skybound Games Unsure It Can Secure Original Telltale Team To Help Finish The Walking Dead
Do it and have 'em be paid proper! Would only be a fitting end to their time with TellTale.
Re: Soapbox: Nintendo's Maddening Stance On Retro Gaming Is Driving Me To Piracy
Whoa! You're allowed to do that headline??
Re: Skybound Games Will Finish The Walking Dead: The Final Season
We're not forgetting, Telltale.
Re: Telltale Intends To Hand Over Final Season Of The Walking Dead To Another Company
Nah, for anything new Telltale-related stuff, I'm quickly going to recall the fact the laid off should've gotten their due.

Re: Nintendo Adding Three More Games To Switch Online NES Library Next Week
THREE this month. THREE NES games.
What a paltry amount of games to release over the year.
Re: UK Charts Reveal That Just 1% Of FIFA 19 Sales Were On Switch, Physical Launch Sales Tumble

Re: Random: Someone Just Sold An Early Copy Of Super Mario Party On eBay For $7,100
The sheer stupidity on display from the bidders is staggering.
The seller struck gold, but it really shouldn't have worked out like that.

Kinda wish this was what came out last year. No sale for me.
