I am a little surprised that after NES Remix 1 and 2 on both Wii U/3DS they decided to do NES again instead of say SNES for example.

I need that Callie and Marie set. .

I am tempted to buy a pair, but I don't know if I would get enough usage out of them .

Wow, what even is this? I mean now of all times? I really don't see much of a point.

If they fleshed out his character and made him the centerpiece of the game, then sure. I imagine it would be decently dark

I feel like if on the off chance it goes on sale, then yeah. Otherwise its not a massive need or anything.

Just maybe. I think the main thing is drift can still be an issue and that the screen is still LCD instead of OLED.

Wasn't Genshin supposed to be out or Switch? Guess that never happened.

Wow, that was so fast.

I don't know how I'm supposed to survive with all these Falcom games coming out, between Ys X, Felghana, Daybreak I and Daybreak II.

I will be buying. I have all on my later Ys games on PS5, so I'll get Memoire: The Oath in Felghana on Switch.

Tsukihime, but no Witch on the Holy Night?

Its a shame because this game was 19.99 very often, but I heard the performance on Switch was just terrible so I opted to buy it on other platforms.

Both issues pertaining to both audio and framerate.

I hate that places like Walmart or Amazon can just have people there selling things from 3rd party sellers.

If I wanted to buy it from a 3rd party I would go ebay or Mercari. When I go on Walmart I want to buy something directly from Walmart themselves.

@sanderev Considering I only play around 10 games or so on the service, then yeah VC ended up being cheaper for me in the long run.

There's many games on the service, but I don't play on playing all of them since I don't have an interest in all of them. Really, Nintendo could of easily done it like they have it now, but have it so you can purchase individual games if you want for a fee. That's not even bringing up the drip-feed nature of the series, I mean its been 7 years and the library still seems lacking to me.

You can sub to NSO and get everything under the subscription or you can buy some individual games for whatever amount and have it locked to your account. You can buy classic PS1 or PS2 games on Sony's store and have it forever, its not like they're only locked to their sub service.

PC players do have online for free and they do not have to pay for it like we do still. So I guess they got the better deal here. There are many people that have experienced issues with online games during the Switch's lifespan so those people's issues are valid.

@sanderev Sony and Microsoft's online services are better than Nintendo's. Its not like the online is substantially different from the Wii U era, and we didn't pay anything back then.

And those old games can be played on practically anything, my phone can play 90% of those games and for me this is the 3rd time I'm being offered NES and SNES games, so I'm not impressed at this point.

For me its a moot point, since I barely play online games anymore outside of FFXIV, but there are many people that do play games online such as Splatoon and Smash and it sucks that their experience isn't better.

You know I was using my 3DS the other day and that if nothing else just made me miss how I didn't have to rent those games or anything.

Their worse mistake was not allowing these things to transfer over from previous consoles. Its so crazy to me that we doing this whole retro library thing again after the Wii U, 3DS and Wii. You can't expect me to pay for decades old games a third time and still see as exciting.

Ys is very underrated imo compared to Trails. Trails gets most of the attention, but Ys is great too.

I would like to see some more games on modern consoles though. Ys VI & Ys Seven come to mind.

Wasn't the last port not that well received? I feel like HOTD loses some of its flair without the lightgun/pointer controls.

This is so sad and pathetic.

@Arawn93 A lot of people aren't buying PS5s because they don't need to. Most people are fine with their PS4, its some crazy statistic like 75% of people still use their PS4.

Their hasn't been a large reason to upgrade given most titles on are both platforms. Casual stuff like the latest Call Of Duty and Madden are still releasing on PS4

The only reason I remember Mario Run is because of the Platinum points you can get from it.

Its always weird to me that people will say how PlayStation is dying or oh their console is doing 'badly'.

I mean you see the numbers. Just because its being outsold by the Switch doesn't mean its selling badly. By that metric the N64 was a failure because the PS1 outsold it and no one says that.

I think the expansion pack is still way too much. They're trying to sell you on retro games and very old DLC. I mean really, the Splatoon 2 DLC? The fact that they haven't added any other DLC is just one problem of many.

Maybe its just me, but the Sega fan in me is baffled they continued to offer Genesis titles over and over again. I understand that's the console that people remember Sega for, but they also made other consoles I would like to see get some attention one day. I understand the Sega Saturn is a difficult console to emulate even to this day, but it still is like come on. Sega Genesis games, again?

Base NSO is fine, you can do worse, but you can't convince me that the expansion pack is worth it.

Considering they priced Skyward Sword at $60 and Luigi's Mansion 2 at $60 it seems like they they're fine with pricing these ports at these prices.

Really it just makes me miss Nintendo Selects.

It really should've been Luigi's Mansion 1 & 2. 1 is still great despite it being the oldest game in the franchise.

Zero Mission is great, I'm replaying Super Metroid at the moment but I definitely need to do a replay of Zero Mission at some point too.

Wow, that is tiny. Tears of the Kingdom wasn't that large either. Impressive you can get games like that on a single cartridge.

I'd rather a port of Rare Replay, but I don't know if that's ever going to happen.

How is it sold out already? This better be easy to get like the TOTK OLED.

Mario & Luigi: Brothership
FANTASIAN Neo Dimension
Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake
The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom
Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics
Ace Attorney Investigations Collection
The Hundred Line Last Defence Academy
Metroid Prime 4: Beyond

Yeah, that was pretty good. A lot of titles I was interested in or know I will be playing.

I cannot believe it. .

It certainly is something that many western studios could learn from.

2023 may have been a large year for games, but it was an unfortunate year for many people who loss their jobs. The amount of lay offs cannot be understated and it just sucks.

I have NSO for the platinum coins I can get so I can buy icons as well as the stuff on the My Nintendo Store. Its also useful for cloud saves.

Aside from that though, I mean the retro catalogue doesn't feel all that enticing to me. I can only get so excited to play SNES games after having them for both 3DS/Wii U and Wii.

@obijuankanoobie I see well I did miss it on the 3ds so I will play it on Switch

I thought this was a new game at first, but its another version of Shovel Knight. Should I wait to buy this then, or should I just buy Treasure Trove?

I thought Treasure Trove was the definitive version, unless this is now?

Yeah. I'm here for Vivian. 😤

Its kind of crazy to think that Prime 3 came out in 2007. Like, wow I can't believe its been over a decade since the last game.

I know it restarted development at one point, but still.

Man, I miss Breath of Fire. .

Mario Sports games fell off during the Switch era and that's sad, they love trying to do this whole release the game bare bones in content and update it over time.

They've done it with all the sports games on Switch and that model just not work. The RPG based sports games were cool, they should've went more in that direction.

I'm not expecting anything really. Probably just ports mainly.

I will be picking up Advance Wars though. That game seems to never be on sale on for some reason.

It sucks that most of the games aren't even on the cartridge and they can't even get 60fps on these old, PS2 era games. Come on, man.

Biomorph has me interested. I hope it runs well on Switch.

@WaffleRaptor01 You can't win with amiibo anyway.

You do something meaningful and you get a Skyward Sword situation with that Loftwing Amiibo. They'll get slammed for locking features behind a paywall.

You have them be smaller rewards, then people will think what's the point of the amiibo if all its giving me are these useless rewards like currency or items I can farm easily?

Their game functionality is an afterthought these days.

@Samalik Its a bit of a two fold problem as well, since many characters don't even have other types of figures.

I'm hoping we get more Nintendo based ones.

Animal Crossing and Advance Wars would be nice, but only a 30% discount feels a bit stingy but, this is Nintendo we're talking about.

It seems pretty staggering that Hogwarts Legacy can still top charts like that and WB thought, more live service games is the takeaway from that game's success.

The function I care about the least is the game functionally. I really don't care about that.

In an era where half decent figures cost $150-200 or more, its nice to have affordable figures of good-decent quality

This looks like a lot of fun. I finished the Power Rangers game on Super Nintendo not that long ago, and that too was a fun beat em' up.

I will be buying. Same thing with Alan Wake 2. Physical is king.
