Astro Bot needs to do well so it shows them there is an audience for those types of games that aren't these trillion dollar blockbusters that take years and years to make.
I wish we got a physical of the other two Famicom Detective games. Them being digital only and having no English physical of any sort is really crappy.
It is a start, but with the amount of games the series has. Dunno just the first game? Not even 0? 0 I think is important to play before Kiwami and 0 is also really good. Even after playing all the games outside of Infinite Wealth I still think its one of the best in the series.
I played through Earthbound very recently, in fact I finished it about a week or two ago and moved on Mother 3 since I heard that was just as good.
Even without mentioning Giygas, there's plenty of eerie things about Earthbound. Cults, gangs and odd looking creatures. I remember when I was a kid watching a let's play of Earthbound in the early era of YouTube, 2008-2009 that the boss music for the Sanctuary bosses would give me full on nightmares.
As an adult it may not seem all that scary, but some of the enemy sprites are still a tad unnerving. On another note, I wish that Nintendo would give us more Mother merchandise outside of Japan. I really wanted those plushies, but paying over $100 with shipping and fees is really rough.
If there were going to do that, I feel like it would've happened already. The Switch is the odd one out as one of the only home consoles to not have some sort of line like that whether it be selects or player's choice.
@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.

Re: Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection For Switch Confirmed As "Code In Box" Release (Europe)
Code in box is so pointless, might as well not even release the physical version if its going to be that.
Re: Konami Doesn't Want To Rush Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2
The main goal is porting MGS4 since that's stuck on the PS3, people have wanted that for a long time.
Re: UK Charts: Astro Bot Soars Above The Competition In A Quiet Week For Switch
Astro Bot needs to do well so it shows them there is an audience for those types of games that aren't these trillion dollar blockbusters that take years and years to make.
Re: Rumour: Nintendo To Launch A New Switch OLED Bundle With Mario Wonder
Well, I can say that I'm glad that they are finally doing a different bundle anyways rather than the Mario Kart 8 bundle they had for years and years.
Re: Rumour: Switch "Successor" Will Be Backwards Compatible, It's Claimed
I really don't see why it wouldn't. I mean it probably will.
And Nintendo is good about their consoles having it unless its like the media type or something. (E.g: Cartridges/Discs)
Re: Mario & Luigi: Brothership Steelbook Pre-Order Bonus Revealed
If this is Europe only I will be angy.
Re: UK Charts: Star Wars Outlaws Bags Number One While Emio Flounders
I wish we got a physical of the other two Famicom Detective games. Them being digital only and having no English physical of any sort is really crappy.
Re: Zelda-Themed 'Hyrule Edition' Switch Lite Spotted At PAX West 2024
@JayJ This is the first time I'm hearing about those joycons, actually. I can't believed I missed those.
Re: Zelda-Themed 'Hyrule Edition' Switch Lite Spotted At PAX West 2024
@N00BiSH I wish I didn't have to pay an arm and a leg for one these days
Re: Zelda-Themed 'Hyrule Edition' Switch Lite Spotted At PAX West 2024
@N00BiSH Just my opinion. I really liked the Gold 3DS they came out with.
Re: Zelda-Themed 'Hyrule Edition' Switch Lite Spotted At PAX West 2024
Hmm. I'm honestly not the biggest fan of the gold they used.
Re: Nintendo Direct August 2024 - Every Announcement & Game Reveal From The Indie World & Partner Showcases
I really wasn't expecting anything so I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of games I was personally interested in.
Re: Yakuza Kiwami Brings The Dragon Of Dojima To Switch For The First Time
It is a start, but with the amount of games the series has. Dunno just the first game? Not even 0? 0 I think is important to play before Kiwami and 0 is also really good. Even after playing all the games outside of Infinite Wealth I still think its one of the best in the series.
Re: 'Power Stone' Is Coming To Switch In 'Capcom Fighting Collection 2'
I love Power Stone, I thought that those games would never get a port outside those PSP ones years ago.
Re: 'Castlevania Dominus Collection' Brings Three DS Classics To Switch Today
This'll go wonderfully with the GBA games I already own as apart of the advanced collection.
Re: Soapbox: The Trauma Of Giygas & Growing Up In EarthBound
I played through Earthbound very recently, in fact I finished it about a week or two ago and moved on Mother 3 since I heard that was just as good.

Re: Two Zelda amiibo Restocked Ahead Of Echoes Of Wisdom Launch (US)
I am surprised that this game is not receiving a new Zelda Amiibo to match Link's. I'll still take these though I don't have them.
Re: Where To Pre-Order Super Mario Party Jamboree On Switch
I wish we in the U S got pre-order bundles like that.
Re: Prince Of Persia: The Lost Crown DLC Is Unmasked Next Month
Can we get a physical ultimate edition with all the DLC? I know Ubisoft loves stuff like that.
Re: Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster Physical Edition Getting Wide Retail Release
Not sure why the ESRB ver. was limited anyhow. Something like this should've hit retail to start with.
Re: Get 3 Months Of Nintendo Switch Online When You Buy Super Mario Party Jamboree (US)
Maybe. I dunno, I think I'd be more tempted if this counted physical pre-orders as well or if it allowed you to gain 3 months of NSO and the expac.
Re: Dead By Daylight's Castlevania Chapter Bites Later This Month
I find it funny that Castlevania has had so many crossovers as of late,
to name a few, but but can't actually create a new game.
Re: Random: Everybody 1-2-Switch! Was A Best-Seller In July 2024
Wow. That's certainly something
Re: New Open-World Physics-Based SpongeBob Game Listing Spotted Online
Why is this image sort of frightening
Re: Upcoming Nintendo Switch Games And Accessories For August And September 2024
There's definitely a lot I'm going to buy here even if I don't even have the time to play all the games I do buy.
Zelda, Emio, and indies like Balatro and Sanabi come to mind. Even that Switch Lite is tempting to me. .
Re: Talking Point: Will The Switch Ever Get A 'Nintendo Selects' Range?
If there were going to do that, I feel like it would've happened already. The Switch is the odd one out as one of the only home consoles to not have some sort of line like that whether it be selects or player's choice.
Re: Metal Slug Meets Symphony Of The Night In 'Guns Of Fury', Launching 2024
Sick . Looks like fun.
Re: UK Charts: Luigi's Mansion 2 HD Starts To Slip In A Quiet Week
Hogwarts Legacy still topping charts.
Re: LEGO Reveals New Shadow The Hedgehog Set, Launching This October
Shadow can't catch a break.
Re: Zelda Producer Eiji Aonuma Says He's "Really Thrilled" About The First Lego Set
Man. When did LEGOs get so expensive.
Re: Switch Online Adds Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition Icons
I will be purchasing these icons I think. That aside, the hat actually is out of stock at the moment, so that sort of sucks.
Re: Best Nintendo Switch Puzzle Games
Man I wish the Portal collection had a physical.
Re: Nintendo Reminds Us Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door Is Now 20 Years Old
@27celsius I wouldn't consider Origami King really an RPG in the same vein as the first two games.
Re: Nintendo Reminds Us Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door Is Now 20 Years Old
Now if only we could get a brand new Paper Mario RPG.
With all these remakes and Mario & Luigi returning seems like its solid revival for this area.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition?
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.
Re: Surprise! New Splatoon 3 amiibo Are On The Way
I need that Callie and Marie set. .
Re: Switch Online NES Controller Limited-Time Sale Now Live (North America)
I am tempted to buy a pair, but I don't know if I would get enough usage out of them .
Re: Nintendo Announces Official Switch Joy-Con Charging Stand
Wow, what even is this? I mean now of all times? I really don't see much of a point.
Re: Talking Point: Could Ganondorf Ever Be The Star Of A Zelda Game?
If they fleshed out his character and made him the centerpiece of the game, then sure. I imagine it would be decently dark
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition?
I feel like if on the off chance it goes on sale, then yeah. Otherwise its not a massive need or anything.
Re: Reminder: Zelda Switch Lite 'Hyrule Edition' Pre-Orders Are Now Live, Will You Be Getting It?
Just maybe. I think the main thing is drift can still be an issue and that the screen is still LCD instead of OLED.
Re: Zenless Zone Zero Producer Reportedly Open To Switch Successor Release
Wasn't Genshin supposed to be out or Switch? Guess that never happened.
Re: 'The Legend Of Heroes: Trails Through Daybreak II' Announced For Switch
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.
Re: Ys X: Nordics Lands On Switch In The West This October
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.
Re: Best Nintendo Switch Visual Novels
Tsukihime, but no Witch on the Holy Night?
Re: Warhammer 40K: Boltgun 'Forges Of Corruption' DLC Campaign Now Available
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.
Re: Random: Nintendo ROM Hacks At Walmart Catch Doug Bowser's Attention
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.
