@vio Because some people want to own it. Is playing a game whenever you want, and not losing it once the service goes down really such a difficult concept for you?
I thought they had done a remake, a while back? Too bad the originals aren't on the eShop. Are they also selling the games by themselves? I don't want a collector edition.
Like you said, it's good for people who bought the cartridge with no case. It makes it convenient to store them with your games. My solution is to stick a used game in with another game, but I end up opening up each case to look for the one I want, and it does rattle around. So this is not a bad idea really.
@DennisLofgren controls aren't the only thing that was bad about the gameplay. There was the linearity, the horrid authorization system, the sterile world, the infuriating norfair run, the pixel hunts...
I ignored the internet hive mind and wasted cash on it. Sometimes a thing is widely scorned, because it is poorly made.
@Zaruboggan I agree that many kids movies do. But not all of them do. It's a freakin Mario Bros film, it's general shtick is save mushroom kingdom from koopa . Even the cartoons and skits were shallow, and a lot of the episodes were centered around references to movies, shows, holidays and books.
@poyo_pie I never understood this ridulous argument. You can't compete with yourself by diversifying your products and making even more money. Do hardware stores compete with themselves by selling different types of tools? Disney makes mad bank by making movies, books, shows, merch, and theme parks

@MrJuancho It's probably a nod to Espresso.
Re: Check Out Donkey Kong Bananza's All-New Kong Cast Members & Animal Transformations
They brought Pauline in as Donkey Kong's sidekick? The transformations look...dumb. sorry. I preferred the original transformations.

@SuperRetroArt You do realize that people hafta work don't you?
Re: Random: Watch The Moment A Delivery Man Apparently Chucks A Switch 2 Up A Customer's Path
I'd be furious and report that idiot! You don't just throw electronic devices at a house, like it's the morning paper.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Jet Set Radio (Dreamcast)
North America gets my vote for being colorful, vivid, and bold.
Japan's is too light and busy.
Europe's is nice but something isn't clicking for me.

@Nintendo4Sonic Pretty much. :/

Re: Poll: Switch 2 Battery Reportedly Lasting Under Two Hours With Mario Kart - How Is Yours Holding Up?
@HyruleWanderer You can't patch a battery. You can only produce better or worse ones.
Re: Poll: Switch 2 Battery Reportedly Lasting Under Two Hours With Mario Kart - How Is Yours Holding Up?
That's pretty pathetic, considering how long their handhelds go for. Hopefully Nintendo's next console won't be a hybrid.

@FormerGameAddict Here's hopin. Crosses fingers
Re: Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound Slashes Its Way Onto The Switch eShop This July
Yes, yes, yes!! I was fretting that it'd skip straight to switch 2.
Re: Five Nights at Freddy's: Into the Pit
I really enjoyed this one. It's a lot of fun, and creepy too.
Re: Adorable 'Little Nemo' Metroidvania Wakes Up On Switch Next Year
@AlienX That was supposed to be Flip?
Re: Adorable 'Little Nemo' Metroidvania Wakes Up On Switch Next Year
The art style is very sweet, but this one doesn't speak to me. Where's Icarus at?
Re: Adorable 'Little Nemo' Metroidvania Wakes Up On Switch Next Year
I love that movie.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Marvel Vs. Capcom 2: New Age Of Heroes (Dreamcast)
I like the art style. North America wins it for being more colorful.

@Kindly_Warlord Don't forget Sonic Spinball.
Re: Video: Diddy Kong, Tunes & Vines - Here's Everything We Want From Donkey Kong Bananza
Hopefully any other kongs present won't be reduced to power ups and player 2 only characters.
Re: How Well Do You Remember Super Mario Galaxy 2?
I couldn't play it much. It made me dizzy.

Re: Two Samus Figures Based On Metroid: Other M Are Making A Return In 2026
@Gatorclops I was thinking the legs are disproportionate. But you're right too.

Re: Two Samus Figures Based On Metroid: Other M Are Making A Return In 2026
@Setery Nothing could possibly redeem that mess. It would just be a waste of Nintendo's time and money.
Re: Two Samus Figures Based On Metroid: Other M Are Making A Return In 2026
Excuse me? Did I see the description say, from the popular action game? I'm going to presume that's sarcasm or ignorance.
Re: Random: Sephiroth's Sword Can Grow And Shrink To Fit The Story In Final Fantasy
@Pillowpants Hahaha! You said what I wanted to say, but was afraid I'd get in trouble for.

Re: "This Is It!" - Nintendo On Why It Added 'Cow' Into Mario Kart World
I'd say they're "milking it" for all its worth.
Re: Pokémon Scalpers Are Ignoring Tornado Warnings Just To Nab Latest Card Collection
Scalpers are greedy sleaze bags. But this behavior is a whole new level of dumb, even for them.
Re: Yooka-Laylee Dev Playtonic Is The Latest Studio Hit By Layoffs
@beartown Same here. This decade stinks.
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's N64 Library With Another Game
I've never played it. I only remember cranky kong mentioning it.

It doesn't look like much of anything has changed.

Re: Super Mario World Looks To Be The Official Name Of The Next Mario Movie
@N00BiSH It had secrets. Not depth.
Re: Super Mario World Looks To Be The Official Name Of The Next Mario Movie
@PinballBuzzbro There was a sequel to that bland movie? What was it, straight to video?
Re: Super Mario World Looks To Be The Official Name Of The Next Mario Movie
@N00BiSH I think that person was mocking the trolls who say things like that.
Re: Super Mario World Looks To Be The Official Name Of The Next Mario Movie
Mmm okay. Hopefully kids will have fun watching it.
Re: Mortal Kombat 1 Looks To Be Winding Down Support With The 'Definitive Edition'
@SillyG I agree with you.
Re: Mortal Kombat 1 Looks To Be Winding Down Support With The 'Definitive Edition'
I don't like dlc in fighters. For guest characters outside of the franchise, whatever. But not for the actual characters.
Re: Pokémon Fossil Museum Lets You See "Life-Size" Replicas Of Pokémon Skeletons
What a fun idea! Wish I could take my daughter. I don't live anywhere near there.

@The-Chosen-one They've changed up their concepts every few systems. Otherwise we'd all be playing 8 bit games.
