Hey look guys it's an article! What kind of article you say? It's an article! Can't say much more than that because it has zero substance and is pure clickbait...

Rest in Peace Phillip. That said I think the review's a bit harsh, I still loved the game on Wii U VC. Easily a 7 imo. Regardless though it is a very well-written review! 🤓

@HeadPirate Yeah, but those 5% unplayable physical games from 2005 are due to A: not taking care of your discs, or B: environmental issues such as being stored in a place with to much humidity. Virtually all 100% of the games aside from one's with factory defects will still work today as long as conditions A & B aren't met.

@thehat360 Wut? Bot confirmed?

@120frames-please LOL. You do realize that it's an incompetence issue by TPC/GF and NOT a console power issue right? There are WAY better looking and larger open-world games on Switch that run with no issues like BoTW and ToTK...

I mean I install and uninstall games all the time on my Switch due to its limited storage and lack of Micro SD Cards over 500 GB due to the chip shortage so I imagine this could be a HUGE problem and fear that to combat this there will be limits placed on how many times you can install games you've purchased...

@AstroTheGamosian Not quite, the 3DS DID outsell all the Gameboy handhelds, but sold over 20 million less units globally than the OG Wii.

#WowieZowie Nuff said! 🤣

@Dimjimmer It'd be too late to scrap the Switch version of both games at this point. Even if Switch's successor releases next year, the games will be cross-gen.

Isn't this the SECOND delay?! I smell vaporware incoming...

@Tyranexx Still hoping for an X remaster that finishes the game's story since the Wii U version had no proper ending due to budget and time constraints.

@Switch_Pro Funny enough, Xenoblade 1 had the most complex battle mechanics, then 2 watered it down to a laughable degree, and 3 found a balance between the two, but as a fan of deep battle mechanics 1 is my favorite in the series.

Edit: Just wanted to clarify that I liked all three games, I just enjoyed my time with 1 the most.

@AlanaHagues What kind of game is this? Action-Adventure? RPG? Platformer? Beat Em' Up? I personally hope it's Action-Adventure like the trilogy on Wii, those were actually pretty good games!

We need more Reggie Fils-A-Mech!

I would love these rewards and at one point had 6300 Gold Coins due to a crazy double points promotion that gave me 4200+ Gold Coins matching what I had earned the entire previous year, but the fact that I'd have to pay for shipping stopped me. I'd even be willing to add like 1,000 Gold Coins to the cost to get the prizes shipped for free, but alas I will never have any of these ultra rare goodies in my gaming collection.

Edit: I wanted to add that I would pay for shipping if a debit card was accepted, but I'd need to open a bank account which would complicate my government benefits as I'm a dependent and my parents are my legal guardians and doing so could false flag me as being more self sufficient then I am.

@Takoda @link3710 @MegaVel91 I'm honestly convinced those people are just A.I. bots themselves lol.

@JackieCMarlow Yeah, it's SO harmless that it's likely that 30% of low and middle-income jobs will be lost because of A.I. by 2030 according to former experts in the field sounding the alarm. That's nearly 1/3rd of all low to middle-income workers being out of a job...SMDH.

@Dragonite89 That isn't why the Wii U didn't have third party support lol. There's like less than a 10% difference in specs so if Switch can get third party support now, Wii U certainly could have a decade ago...

I called it! I knew that the fact that there are first party titles already known for Switch next year, with likely 2-3 more being announced during the September/October Direct that the console wasn't going to launch in the first half of 2024. That said, hopefully the Switch goes out with a bang. Maybe we can get a Xenoblade Chronicles X Switch port with bonus chapters to finish the story since Nintendo had to rush the game out on Wii U, and maybe we can get a Zelda Wind Waker HD / Twilight Princess HD bundle port as well? One can dream!

May he rest in peace and game in heaven with other industry legends such as Iwata-San.

@CharlieGirl Not legally in some cases. I'm 100% on @Tasuki 's side on this one. Switch's NSO is the closest thing to playing on the original hardware both in terms of controllers if you managed to snag any of the retro controllers, but also the emulation for most of the games are spot-on as well. Even the N64 games now run better on NSO than on most emulators after the rocky start Nintendo had with the emulation. Plus emulating is a pain in the butt in most instances and depending on your state/province emulation can be illegal even if you have the games and simply dump the roms onto an emulator.

Long story short be sure to check your local laws to make sure it's legal where you live.

@WaffleBoat Seriously! The only N64 game added so far this year was Pokemon Stadium, but to be fair NES/SNES releases on the service have picked back up and Nintendo probably wants to secure a handful of third party releases on N64 on NSO+ before they blow through all of their remaining first party titles on the platform.

@Serpenterror They had nothing to do with Team Sonic Racing AFAIK.

@AlanaHagues Is there a Kickstarter campaign for this game?

@shonenjump86 Yeah supposedly this update will be increasing story content by about 25%, which is a pretty hefty amount of new story.

@Liam_Doolan What time does the update drop?

@Olliemar28 I think you meant next NOT enxt.

@Liam_Doolan What are these challenges and stickers that have been added? 🤔

@dartmonkey Without criticism no one would ever improve. The only time criticism isn't helpful is if it's unconstructive or hurtful.

Wow! I missed out on SoA growing up so I'll definitely get this one at some point!

@Lizuka Well SMB2 has some additions such as giant enemies which changes up the gameplay a bit.

I'm guessing the next wave of NES/SNES/GB/GBC games will be the following week, just like the last update for GBA and GB/GBC/NES/SNES was on week apart.

@Tasuki Yeah it'll change...it'll no longer be on Playstation or Nintendo consoles.

@MetaCrystal Did you play Mighty Gunvolt on 3DS/Switch/PS4. That game is REALLY fun. The others I'd give 5/10-6/10, but Mighty Gunvolt was easily an 8/10 imo.

@Poodlestargenerica Vouchers are available in the Americas lol.

@KingStannis Uh...vouchers are available in the Americas as well.

@Snatcher Yeah, but difference is, Genshin wouldn't need to be gimped on Switch as it's like a less demanding version of BoTW in-terms of its scope, graphics, and mechanics. The Genshin situation is just a 🤡 show whereas this makes sense given the superior versions of the game flopped hard so why waste further resources for a version that will do even worse.

@OldManHermit I heard this game is challenging, but more fairly balanced than Contra. It's still hard as heck, but when you die it'll be completely avoidable and totally your own fault that you died.

@Kiyata I heard it'll be around the 12 month mark from the first title update, though this is speculation based on bits of actual info Disney has shared/hinted at.

@Matroska I'm pretty sure it has a lot more content now lol. 🤣

@Serpenterror You do realize UK is one of the largest markets in the industry, right? What if the US blocks it too? Should they avoid our market too when that would drop global sales numbers by 25-30%? 🤣

@RadioShadow Not only that, but Miyamoto-San was openly hurling insults and badmouthing how bad a game this was and gloating how awesome his own original Donkey Kong was. It definitely made Shiggy come off REALLY bad.

@Joeynator3000 It doesn't seem bad at all tbh. I'm guessing the devs squashed most of the bugs at this point? 🤔

@Joeynator3000 Yeah, the visuals are in-line with the PS4/XBone releases, locked at 30 FPS with minor dips and 780p. Before it was 30 FPS and 180p, yes that is not a typo, it was originally locked at 180p resolution lol. 🤣

Conradical are most definitely the ones in the right here. I sincerely hope they win their countersuit.

@LeMasters Isn't it the 25th anniversary for Stadium later this year? If so maybe Nintendo is waiting until then to drop Stadium and Stadium 2 on NSO?

@Vil Honestly the emulation is pretty good now that they've worked out the bugs. Certainly better emulation than N64 Wii/Wii U VC had for sure. And I'm not blindly defending Nintendo, because I 100% agree that at launch the N64 emulation was atrocious on NSO...

@Liam_Doolan Are the Wii U VC Capcom games also on-sale?

@Liam_Doolan Any word on if they'll fix the inventory bug or Mickey Mouse's first questline?

@JimNorman What about North America?
