This is such an epic collection. I bought it for Rock n Roll Racing, everything else cherry.
If there’s one thing I’d like to see them add, it’s save states to the definitive edition. Makes no sense they added it to the retro games but not to the definitive version.
The Wii was the stupidest console of all time. Never understood the appeal of swinging around a TV remote to play games that looks worse than crappy mobile phone games. So glad I skipped that generation. And yeah the N64 controller is not far behind, glad I skipped that gen too. I love Nintendo but they make some lame products sometimes.
Holy crap! Rock n Roll Racing!? I had to read that 3 times and look at screen shots and watch the video to make sure I read that right. RNRR is one of the best SNES games ever, but didn’t think we’d ever see it again. Sweeet!
Why does Nintendo always do something stupid when it comes to online play? Why can’t we play with friends or randoms online? They want to add value to NSO but they have no clue how to do it right.
“ Online multiplayer is handled the same way – by hitting the R button and creating or joining a room – but it’s strictly limited to people in your friend list; you can’t just join a random game.”
I spent the weekend playing SF Alpha 2 and 3, Super Street Fighter II Turbo, and X-Men vs Street Fighter on my MVSX Neo Geo arcade cab. (Thanks Hylostick X team!)
That’s like saying the Xbox Series X will never be fully utilized because their games must be compatible across the Xbox ecosystem. If it works for Microsoft why wouldn’t it work for Nintendo?
As an older gamer myself (47), I can relate to this. Gaming is very hard on my wrists in particular, but also my shoulders and back. I can only game for so long nowadays before my wrists start hurting, especially my left wrist.
It’s bad enough that I need to step away from gaming for weeks at a time to give my wrists and body a break. If I get bored of a game at all I use it as an excuse to take a break from all gaming. It ends up being healthier for me overall to take these breaks, and allows me to still come back to gaming instead of quitting altogether.
The fact that the story is based around a US Army soldier means the movie was funded by the military, and will likely be full of Army ads. I cannot stand movies funded by the US military, they are the worst. And since when did the US Army have anything to do with Monster Hunter. What a load of crap.
In my opinion 3D World is the best Mario game of all time. It nails everything great about every Mario game & more all wrapped up in one fantastic experience. It’s Nintendo at their best. Stoked to replay it this time in online coop.
Too bad there’s no folders to put all of these games in. I’ve purchased every Neo Geo game and many of the arcade classics, and it’s very annoying to not have any way to organize these games into folders.
Needs online multiplayer. There's a global pandemic going on, we're supposed to be social distancing, and it's 2021. Any coop game released these days should also offer online coop.

Re: Sega Is Still Cool With Sonic Fan Games, Provided "No Profit Is Involved"
Amazing. More companies should practice such a healthy approach.
Re: Rumour: Get That Salt Ready, Apple Is Reportedly Working On A Nintendo Switch-Style Hybrid Console
This will fail. Apple sucks at gaming and this thing will be way overpriced and play primarily crappy iOS games.
I’m an Apple user - all of my computers and devices are Apple. But I have no interest in a gaming device from them.

Re: Deathsmiles Collection Brings More Shoot 'Em Up Action To Switch In 2021
This is beyond epic. Can’t wait till December- but it’s so far away! Will be worth it though. Deathsmiles is my favorite CAVE series.
Re: Nintendo Switch System Update 12.0.1 Is Now Live
Every update that doesn't include folders makes me hate Nintendo more.

This is such an epic collection. I bought it for Rock n Roll Racing, everything else cherry.
If there’s one thing I’d like to see them add, it’s save states to the definitive edition. Makes no sense they added it to the retro games but not to the definitive version.
Re: Rumour: Is Something Going On Between Microsoft And Nintendo?
I own an Xbox and I’m not a Gamepass subscriber, but if it was added to Switch I’d subscribe in a heartbeat.
Re: Streets Of Rage 4 Is Getting New Characters, Modes And More In 'Mr. X Nightmare’ DLC
Let’s do this.
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo And The Industry Needs To Get Serious About Game Preservation
Thank goodness for emulators and ROMS. I’ve been safely preserving entire retro game libraries for generations.
Xbox has really done a great job of offering backwards compatibility too. Happy to pay for retro games if companies actually provide them.

Bring it on.
Re: Soapbox: I Somehow Bought Over $800 Of Animal Crossing Crap In One Year
I bought $2500 worth of action figures in the past 3 months alone. We’ve all got problems.
But for video games I’ve only spent $20 so far this year. Not too shabby.

It better have folders.
Re: Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings Of Ruin Launches In July, Three amiibo Figures Annouced
I want to like this game, but I really hated the turn-based gameplay it had on the 3DS. I don’t understand the appeal of this type of gameplay at all.
Re: Talking Point: Here's Why You Shouldn't Be Worried About The Rumoured Switch Pro's 720p Screen
The Switch Pro needs more RAM and a faster CPU. The screen is fine.
Re: Review: Blizzard Arcade Collection - Dig Into The Vaults Of The Creator Of Warcraft And Overwatch
"Rock 'n Roll Racing’s is so successful that including the SNES and Mega Drive versions has only really added clutter."
Are you insane? The SNES version is essential to this collection. Despite the improvements to the Definitive Edition, I like the SNES original better.
Re: Gogeta [SS4] Joins The Dragon Ball FighterZ Roster Next Week
I hope they make a season pass 4. More the better.

Re: Capcom Arcade Stadium Is Out Now On Nintendo Switch
They need to release a Darkstalkers collection with online multiplayer.
Re: Review: Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury - A Superb Mario Adventure With A Bowser Bonus
Why does Nintendo always do something stupid when it comes to online play? Why can’t we play with friends or randoms online? They want to add value to NSO but they have no clue how to do it right.

Re: Nintendo Expands Its Switch Online SNES And NES Service With Four More Titles
This is why people download and emulate Nintendo’s ROMs. I feel bad for anyone who doesn’t.
Re: Pillars Of Eternity Will Get No More Patches On Switch, Despite Unresolved Issues
So what they’re saying is I should never buy a game published by Versus Evil.

Re: Hands On: We've Played Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury, And Here's What We Think So Far
Super Mario 3D World is the reason I bought a Wii U. It’s the best Mario game ever made. Stoked to play it again on the Switch.
Re: Feature: Best Kirby Games Of All Time
Glad to see the rightful #1 winner claim it’s spot.
Re: A 'Pro' Switch With More Power Might Not Even Be Fully Utilised, Says Industry Veteran

Re: How Much Faster Is Super Mario 3D World On Switch Compared To The Wii U Original? This Much
In my opinion 3D World is the best Mario game of all time. It nails everything great about every Mario game & more all wrapped up in one fantastic experience. It’s Nintendo at their best. Stoked to replay it this time in online coop.
Re: Arcade1Up Is Releasing Its Very Own Killer Instinct Arcade Cabinet
Their new 4-player X-Men cab is the one I’m looking forward to the most.
Re: Feature: Ten Arcade Games We'd Love To See On Switch
You forgot to include Robotron 2084 and X-Men 1992.
Re: Feature: Switch Puts The Arcade Of Your Dreams In The Palm Of Your Hand
