I actually really liked Devil's Third. I enjoyed playing Wanted Dead last year as it had a lot of similarities with the gun/sword gameplay.

@TheIronChimp Spooky!

Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars needs to be rescued from being locked on Wii.

Also, Street Fighter III: Third Strike doesn't need another remake/port.

@Mgalens Yep, I'd love to be able to buy games from Switch Online just like we were able with the Virtual Console. I think I have around 50 retro games tied to my Wii U forever.

Dear Nintendo,

Can I please have the following games on Switch 2 via Digital Eclipse or another port specialist.

F-Zero All-stars
Zelda 2D All-stars
Eternal Darkness
Chibi-Robo
Mario Sports Collection
Kirby 2D All-stars
Nintendo Puzzle Collection
Metroid 2D All-stars
Mario Kart Collection

Thanks.

I'm still gutted that Chibi-Robo seems destined to stay stuck on GameCube/Wii forever. It was such a great game and deserved a remake or remaster (at the very least) by now. I get that it's a niche game but I think it could have really found a big audience on Switch.

So, am I right in thinking, this isn't compatible with the 3DS Circle Pad Pro??? Then it's not for me I'm afraid.

Nintendo always find an overly complicated way of doing something simple.

@AnnoyingFrenzy This is an incredible visualisation of just how long we've been waiting for this. Wow.

The tagline on the US/EU cover is one of the most unintentionally funny lines ever written. It's so bad! 😂

I'll get this game at some point because the gameplay really appeals to me.

However I do think that the main character is really unlikable/badly designed and the name of the game is terrible.

They should have called it 'Yo-yo The Monkey' and had Penny as a monkey character. It's catchier and explains the main mechanic of the game.

@Kochambra It happens all the time on Xbox and PlayStation.

I actually really enjoyed this game. I had fun from start to finish.

@WhiteTrashGuy The original Xbox had one of the best launch line ups in console history.

I would like to see Rare Replay due to the number of Nintendo games there.

Otherwise, I'd rather play Xbox games on my Xbox.

It actually annoys me how little Nintendo remakes some of their games which are locked into specific systems. And I'm not saying they should 'do a Sony' and release updates of games the way they do. But seriously, F-Zero GX, Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn, Chibi Robo. Even Mario Paint would have been perfect for DS/3DS.

I'm so tired of hearing about this game.

@smithyo The only way that Nintendo used to control releases on their systems was via censorship and making sure they functioned as required. They have never played a role in deciding the quality of games on any of their platforms.

I still can't believe how long it has actually been since the Switch launched. I have such a backlog that I don't think I'll ever be ready for Switch 2.

NES Batman. That is all.

I've never been able to get into BoTW or ToTK. I don't have the time or patience for open world games requiring a ridiculous number of hours play. His response is quite patronising actually.

I bought it on Xbox and it's a great game. Gorgeous to look at and has the tight controls of earlier Sonic games. It deserves to do well IMO.

@JoeyTS Fair enough. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I just really don't see his 'contribution' to be of any value at all.

@Maxz Just because he's instantly recognisable as the person that does the voice of Mario doesn't make his work good. It's simplistic, childish and annoying and. Technology limited things when he was first introduced in Super Mario 64 but I think Nintendo missed a trick in not developing beyond that. He and Nintendo have been getting away with the same high pitched, stereotypical crap since 1996.

I massively preferred the silent era of Mario.

I find Charles and his voice work incredibly annoying. I really don't understand why so many people think he's brilliant.

Why is the box art so utterly crap? I get that they've used art from the original but seriously, it's so bland and looks really weird. Most people that will pick this up aren't even going understand the reference to the original.

Adult Link - Gordon Ramsay
Child Link - Butters from South Park
Adult Zelda - Kim Kardashian
Child Zelda - Kim Kardashian
Ganon - Jaden Smith (or AI)
Other characters - Little Mix and BTS

Job done. Money please!

This has just annoyed me all over again that the 3DS is region locked.

Completed both in a weekend??? Wow! Sakurai San plays games the way he programmes games, in a constant state of crunch and sleepless nights!

@KingMike But the Game Boy Color itself was an incremental upgrade of a previously available console.

It seems so bizarre to me now that there would be a 3 year gap between hardware being released in Japan and Europe.

There's a huge promo for it from St. Pancras to the underground. About 10 screens and images completely covering the walls. It looks pretty cool.

This. Is. Brilliant!

They should have called it Analogue Ultra or Analogue 64.

People really need to grow up and focus on more important things in life.

The fact that this is running on a system from 2017 is a miracle in my opinion.

I remember hearing how Nintendo were going to up the power stakes after the GameCube (GameCube being far more powerful for games than the PS2). Then we got Wii. Amazing system and home to some of the greatest games ever but an absolute shadow of of what was possible back then.

If Nintendo actually try to pull a technically impressive piece of hardware out I'll be stunned.

I'm sure he's a nice guy but I have always found his Nintendo voiceover work to be incredibly annoying.

Now they need to do the same for Dragon Quest.

This confirms that Nintendo are going third party.

A new 2D Mario and 2D Sonic in the same month is the kind of thing I haven't had since I was 12. Thank you to everyone involved.

Rastan please.

I still don't see why Nintendo don't partner with a couple of port specialist studios and harness their back catalogue properly.

Mario 2D All-stars
F-Zero Collection
Metroid 2D collection
Zelda 2D Collection
Donkey Kong Collection

These would all sell millions and Nintendo would still be free to make new games. It just baffles me.

This is terrible news. I just sold my entire physical backlog of games today so that I wouldn't be distracted and could focus fully on this. FML. ☹️

Any news on the sequel yet?

I don't know about anyone else but it only seems like yesterday to me that the Switch was first unveiled in that video with the guy walking his dog and the rooftop party. Where does the time go??? 😥

Every time I see the word 'Infogrames' my brain changes it to 'Infrogames'

I really don't understand the hate for the NSMB series.

On a separate note, with this and Sonic Superstars, this will be great year for classic 2D platformers.
