Got mine! From New Zealand, where I live. The Nintendo Australia store/region also covers New Zealand, but I almost never see NZ get mentioned when Nintendo AU/NZ comes up on this site :/
@Matty1988 Well you'd be wrong there sonny Jim. The Gamecube was fantastic, Nintendo put out stellar game after stellar game after stellar game. It had limited 3rd party support but what it did get there was also stellar - Metal Gear Solid Twin Snakes, Resi Evil 4, Eternal Darkness etc. Not to mention the Game Boy Player!
@Gasarakii I highly doubt the Switch would read them as proper analog. Even if it did, what games would use it? Smash Ultimate didn't even read official Gamecube Controllers' analog shoulder buttons, and I don't know of any other Switch game designed around the GC controller.
@Curbie we'll be getting reviews soon. And, you can use a controller with the Pocket while using the Dock. I have a pretty strong feeling the Pocket controls themselves will be just fine.
@andykara2003 actually with their DAC you can output the Super Nt, Mega Sg and Pocket to a CRT via RGB or component, so there's that! I did that today on my Nt, it gives equivalent output to a 1-CHIP SNES via RGB SCART.
@Beaucine I grew up with All-Stars and I still prefer the SNES style to this day. When Nintendo redrew everything it gave them the chance to do things more accurate to their original intentions/concepts, without working around the limits of the NES. Therefore I'd say the SNES versions are actually the more definitive ones, and certainly more pleasant on the eyes to look at.
I grew up with the All-Stars version and found it hard to adjust to the look of the NES originals. And I noticed no difference at all in the mechanics.

??I thought it was quite obvious. Nintendo featured Mario Land 1 but did not feature Super Mario Land 2. They featured New! Super Mario Bros. but not New! Super Mario Bros. 2. Ergo, they featured Mario Galaxy 1 but not 2. They are obviously not focusing on direct sequels; but originals instead.
