Wait. If you can still redownload titles, that means they all still have to sit there on the server anyway.

So... why can't new customers buy them still? Surely the only reason to shut down a digital storefront is that you can't / don't want to afford to keep running the servers, right?

Ooooooof course they do.

Imagine what he could do if he used a decent technique then...

"It might not have reached Club Nintendo levels of awesomeness just yet" Haha. Stay optimistic NintendoLife.

I still have PTSD over what the Microsoft pirchase did to Rare to be honest.

Knew it. I said at the time that just because they were saying they were going to start repeating events didn't mean they were saying that there would never be another new event / spirit, but everyone just merrily read into it something different.

I bought this specifically because it does NOT include the DX version of Link's Awakening. I have that on GBC and 3DS already, but I have no copies of this version.

A quasi-reboot is in order, keeping the best bits of the lore and starting a new storyline without the restrictions of established continuity, just like the Zelda series.

Asking us to pay more while they still havn't put out things people have been asking for for YEARS (Earthbound, Mario RPG...), things which were already released on Virtual Console... what a joke. Yeah, sure, I'd love to pay more to only have access to 80% of the first party library. Plus the problem you will always have with the N64 is that half of it's best games were made by Rare...

Sort out what you have rather than failing in other areas.

I've had 100% since around four months after release, but that's only 50% overall because you gotta do it again on hard mode, of which I've only done all shrines.

Really need to go back to that...

This happened to me with The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker with the Master Quest bonus disc on GameCube. I was the envy of the playground, I can tell you.

Oh I hope they keep going! I'm gagging for Toy Story and Pinocchio!

@infernogott Well, at least they've focused on what's important and improved the screen and sound which I never use, for fear of messing up my joy con...

Have they even bothered solving JoyCon drift?

@Pavil You had a bump on the head or something? Are you ok? I'm not sure you're ok...

@CEObrainz Is there a source for this information please? Or a YouTube video based on it at least? I'd love to watch it.

@sixrings have you ever seen a Nintendo game on sale?

I dont particularly fall on either side of the argument.

All I know is, this writer needs to learn another word which isn't the word "cynical".

@Ogbert The book will be up to date as of time of publishing. In August, then even if Fighters Pass 2 amiibo or anything else are announced, they won't be released, so they won't be included.

So the book should end with all the Fighters Pass 1 amiibo, and all the Monster Hunter Rise amiibo. A good place to stop if you ask me. Would rather that than stop half way through Fighter's Pass 2. And even though the amiibo line is dying off, who is to say when it will end? It might get strung out another decade...!

As for the amiibo cards, yeah he initially said he wasn't including them, but I asked if he would do a gallery of them all as a stretch goal and he said he would so get backing y'all!

WOAH! Did I do that!?

If so, cheers NintendoLife!

Seems to be back in stock for UK.

Woah. They sold out so fast! Good thing these are some of the only amiibo I'm not bothered about. I'd have been furious if I wanted them. I didn't get an Email about it, and I usually do when amiibo go on preorder...

@Enigk That's what I get for skipping the middle 😅

If there's 190 names, why does the video show 181 hits at the end?

What a stupid thing to do.

My stance on ports, as someone who bought a Wii U, and bought all of these games once already, is that if people wanted to play these games maybe they should have bought a Wii U when it was current.

I'm not saying the Wii U wasn't without issue but if you buy a console for specs instead of library then you reap what you sow. The library was clearly good, because half of them have been ported already and this article proves there are plenty more which are of interest.

As someone who has been buying and playing Nintendo consoles for over 20 years, it frustrates me that those who opted out don't have to stand by their choice, and my FOMO gets exploited and I get to pay twice for a few extra levels or features, and even then only if I'm lucky.

That said, that's just one very focused annoyance for me. Many more frustrations that are finally getting on top of me come down to Nintendo's contempt for their customers, both loyal and new.

The red light on that DS lite gives me anxiety.

Does this mean that we can have the original levels based on 3D World back in Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker on Switch?

I knew it! As soon as I saw Bowser Jr. I thought about the Bowser Jr. amiibo that never was (Mario Party Star Rush, those that don't know what I mean).

Zelda done in the style of Fire Emblem is the game I never knew I wanted, but must have.

At least if it was true then they couldn't run it into the ground like they did Rare: Sega already sorted that themselves.

@arabiansanchez I havn't in 25 years of 3D gaming, so can't see it changing now to be honest.

It's nice of you to put your faith in me, but it's probably better placed elsewhere. Haha.

What's with the loading time to get to the title screen?

Please be inverted y-axis in Sunshine... It's the first thing I have to in virtually every game. It would make it unplayable for me.

They are all limited time games. One day they will turn the servers off, and / or your console will break and Nintendo won't have any interest in fixing it for you or transferring your account to a second hand console you had to buy on ebay...

To reiterate, they are all limited time games.

Mario Odyssey is the only Switch game I have played where I didn't use the pro controller.

Bizarre choice for a bundle.

Preordered both as the implication was stock would be limited. I dont really want a Japanese version though. Am eagerly keeping an eye out for UK preorders.

@SwitchForce Dying based on that they have released fewer and fewer new models each year and that fewer new games have support for them.

The DLC fighters will be hard to get hold of (Switch Online exclusives?), there will be no alternates, and I'd be very surprised if we had any more than 11 new amiibo to look forward to ever again. Maybe the odd one-off, like Link's Awakening Link. But probably not even that. They'll complete the set, begrudgingly, and that'll be that.

Mark my words.

They arent going to do any alternates. Amiibo is clearly a dying brand. He was pretty clear that they are only making these last 11 begrudgingly.

I am NOT happy with the implication there will be limited stock of these... I live in the UK so I've never really struggled like I know Americans have with exclusives... Please make enough to go round Nintendo. THEN lay the brand to rest, like you seem to be intending.

Does it mean I can see my Astral Chain spirits yet? It doesn't? Then whats the point?

StreetPass Mii Plaza isnt on the list and would be in my top 10 (Im going by most time played / fondest memories)

@patbacknitro18 We have. That's how the Partner Pikachu and Partner Eevee spirits were originally given out.

I dont have either of the Let's Go games, but I read that was the case.

I expected it to be available straight after Nintendo Direct tonight as a download-only title.

There's absolutely no way they can justify this as a full retail release after BotW set the standard, surely?

Hawkeye?

If that's what this guy thinks anyone wants out of a Smash / Marvel crossover then I think it's probably for the best that he doesn't make such decisions.

I love my amiibo collection but this is yet more evidence that amiibo is dead, and I am ok with that.

The only interest I had in this game was for the Mario series Bowser Jr. amiibo I am utterly convinced is the entire reason this game exists.

If they hadn't cancelled the amiibo I would have bought both the game and the figure.

As it stands, I'll stick to the DS version that still works just fine on my 3DS thanks.

(I have no facts on which to base any of this. Im still certain this all happened though.)

@Toads-Friend I thought I was the only one.

It made total sense: only one to appear in Star Rush without a physical analogue; the previous Mario & Luigi port saw the minion amiibo to go with the mode; Inside Story already being playable on a 3DS...

I was certain the Bowser Jr mode going hand in hand with a Bowser Jr amiibo was the only reason the existance of this port made any sense at all, and that it all-but confirmed the amiibo!

@Miketeevee76 Did you ever get sorted with that?

@GoldenGamer88 It's hardly stupid. Particularly a stable, which shows on the map even without a tag.

Personally I think it's quite impressive that you managed to complete the quest there without triggering the tag too! Haha.

100% just in time for the DLC. That was my aim.
