No 8 bit game looked like this. Its simply a retro style but those that think 8 bit moved or looked this good don't really remember 8 bit graphics that well. It's just an artistic retro style. Even Shovel Knight, while looking fairly 8 bit, could never have run on an NES or Master System. Actual 8 bit games are limited by color palette, sprites on screen, etc. No current game has that limitation. If you don't like that style its certainly understandable but it's hardly 8 bit simply because it uses sprites.

I'm grateful but what's with the price creep? Other Nicalis releases were 29.99 but this and Wonder Boy are hitting 39.99? It's definitely not larger cartridges.

Weird Irem game to start with but I bought it all the same. Bring on more arcade games!

@gcunit Same. It has that flash game marionette "animation" that CAN be done well on occasion. Just not this time. You can especially tell when they jump.

Sadly Caveman Warriors has such an unappealing visual style ( to me at least) that I can't get interested in it.

What an odd choice for a debut. I love random arcade games but I'm not sure I'd lead off with this. Should have done Rtype Leo if they wanted to go random but impressive.

Might be fun but it has that cheap flash look to it with little actual animation. That can be a turnoff.

Pointless release. Its funny how they go backwards in some releases.

This is amazing news. I love my portable arcade!

Bought it right before this review popped up. Fortuitous!

Yes! I almost bought the Play Asia release. And the Limited Run PS4 release. Glad I stuck it out!

If the first pack is as soon as December this is probably finished content......ugh. I like DLC but not when its fairly obvious that it is just withheld content.....

Yay! Thank you, Nintendo. I never lost faith. I do prefer the Japanese language but I'm glad English is available as well for those that prefer it.

It really doesn't look very appealing. Plus weak voice acting. It brings nothing to the table. It seems soulless. I'll stick with the original.

Disappointing. Oh well, my wallet already cries with my current wishlist.

I'll bite. It's a fun 2 player game. Perfect for Switch.

Keep them coming! I'll buy them all. I like my portable mini arcade.

Why can't any of these companies just make a controller with 6 face buttons?

Yes. Because it's a great game and its a physical release. Good news!

@SLIGEACH_EIRE KOF 98 is probably the best. It's my favorite KOF for sure. Great roster, nice aesthetic, and fantastic gameplay.

Oh yeah! This and Wonderboy 3 both need physical releases! The Monsterboy people said we would probably get a book with the physical copy too!

@Raptor78 I'm right there with you! I hope it does well for Nintendo and for the fans!

Everyone has their own valid point in why they will or will not purchase it now/later. I'm personally grabbing it at launch. I love the idea of console games on the go and plan on buying most 3rd party releases on it because of that. For those that aren't interested right away that's just fine. What they are looking for in the console just isn't there yet. Each to their own! Have a great week, all!

One of the main reasons I will buy most 3rd party titles on Switch rather than PS4 is because of its portability. I think it's power is sufficient for some solid ports. Portability really sells me on this console.

@AVahne
I'd say I have a pretty good grasp of the difference. I see entitlement in people all the time. I live in America. I know Nintendo drops the ball. Look at the 3ds "Metroid." The graphics are a typical HD upgrade. As far as we know this is just an HD port, not a remaster. All the details aren't even known so how did Nintendo screw it up already? There could be well needed gameplay changes like Wind Waker.

I'm always amazed how entitled some Nintendo fans are. We ask for something and get it. It's not even full detailed yet but people rip into it because its not exactly what they pictured in their picky brains. Sad....

This has gotten out of control on both sides. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I personally have a lot of faith in this website, its staff and their reviews. Do I agree with everything said about this game? No. Watching the video shows me it doesn't look as bad as a PS2 game and the framerate can be jumpy but doesn't make the game unplayable. Does it look pretty? Oh no. Fun? Yes. To me. The creator's comments were insulting and reviewers are retaliating. Its a bit of a back and forth. I commend the site for going back and offering more insight and opinion.

I'm fine with this because hard drives are cheap and I can get it when I'm ready. I still prefer to buy the discs and not exclusively download so space won't be too much of an issue initially.

I do not understand why people say that the system is expensive though. 360 and PS3 debuted at higher price tags. Heck, the Vita is the same price and its just a hand held. Also look up the cost of the older systems with inflation. You are paying the same for a Wii U as you did for an NES. I'm happy with most of Nintendo' decisions with this. Not all, but most.

Keep in mind it loses the motion but it does gain the ability to draw on the gamepad, similar to the 3DS version. That will bring some unique gameplay on board. I'm looking forward to it and want to support 3rd party Wii U games.

Extremely happy about this. I wanted to get this for a Nintendo online community vs. 360 or PS3 because I feel there will be less belligerent kids playing. The online community for those systems are atrocious as far as people are concerned......

Good line up. I sadfaced a bit at no Rayman but I think it comes out early December. Now I know what I can buy so I can start selling blood and my first born to afford them all.

This guy is like a weatherman, consistently get it wrong but still keep your job. I need to get into these professions.......
