As soon as I saw the first screen, I though "Holy crap! More Ogre Battle!!!!". This looks absolutely fantastic, and was definitely the highlight for me today.
I'm a fan of the Zen pinball tables, but it's the old Williams tables that really get me going. The FX table offerings were pretty sparse at launch, but I'm glad to see them working to remedy that so quickly.
Putting my GBA carts in my DS was a Godsend, even though I had a perfectly capable GBA. I also have the GBA player for my GC, but I can't say I used it much. Nor did I often play GC games on my Wii, but my kids did often enough.
It's a handy feature, being able to play older games on the newer hardware.
Nintendo /might/ be more creative than that (but Wii U and 3ds suggest otherwise), but Switch 2 would be perfectly fine. Sequential numbering has worked fine for Sony for...always.
@Carlore_Preventis As I have access to your original comment regarding my take: yes, I'm absolutely captivated by other "ccommunities" as well. Sneaker-heads, for example. I don't get them, but I'm intrigued by people who collect sneakers.
As for the entitlement comment: there are absolutely people in the preservation community who believe they are entitled to play every game ever made without actually buying the hardware and software to do so just because said hardware and software are "obsolete " or "expensive".
None of these titles, or any others are going extinct. To be honest, I think the entire "video game preservation society" is based on a farce; thus, they intrigue me.
The subset of gamers who seemed to be enthralled by games they /think/ they may never be able to play captivates me. Especially the ones who feel entitled to them.
My personal opinion is nothing on this list will be missed. I did sink a ton of time into several of these as a kid though.
One of my favorite PS1 JRPGs. Hopefully this and First Departure will get a physical release so I can stop eyeing those overpriced PSP releases that I passed on forever ago.
No predictions, just desires. The Wind Waker trilogy (or at least just Wind Waker). Twilight Princess. A Link to the Past remake. (Seems like a theme....) Capcom vs Marvel collection. Ogre Battle 64 remaster.

Re: Vanillaware's Brand New Strategy RPG Is Giving Us Serious Ogre Battle Vibes
As soon as I saw the first screen, I though "Holy crap! More Ogre Battle!!!!". This looks absolutely fantastic, and was definitely the highlight for me today.
Re: Nintendo Direct September 2023: Time, Where To Watch, Our Predictions
Ogre Battle, Knight of Lodis, and Ogre Battle 64 remakes, please and thanks!
Re: Final Fantasy's Pixel Remaster Series Has Now Sold Three Million Copies
@RobynAlecksys
While I respect your opinions on the matter, I do not, nor will I, share in them. Have a nice day.
Re: Square Enix's Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster Series Has Now Sold Three Million Copies
3 million and 1...if they'd release another round of physical copies. Just sayin'.
(Yes, I know, PlayAsia)
Re: G.I. Joe Gets The Streets Of Rage Treatment In Brand New Arcade-Style Brawler
@LikelySatan
I get that. I was referring to the style.
Re: Square Enix To Publish Whimsical Horror Adventure 'Little Goody Two Shoes'
Wow! I am totally intrigued by this!
Re: Yep, There's A Metroidvania Inspired By 'A Christmas Carol' And It's Out In November
This was the moment. The moment I'd finally seen everything.
Re: G.I. Joe Gets The Streets Of Rage Treatment In Brand New Arcade-Style Brawler
GI Joe?
Beat 'em up?!
Sign me up!
But hopefully that song doesn't play the whole game. 🤢
I'll take my 80's Joe, but leave the crappy 80's music back there.
Re: Super Mario Bros. Wonder Showcases Trio Of Brand New Power-Ups
This is going to be amazing!
Re: Borderlands 3 Ultimate Edition Announced For Switch
I poured hundreds of hours into Borderlands 2, but have yet to give 3 a spin. If this runs well, I'll definitely pick it up.
Re: Konami's Suikoden I & II HD Remaster Has Been Delayed
That's fine. Take your time and don't screw this one up. It deserves all the attention you can give it.
Re: Star Wars: Dark Forces Remaster Confirmed For Nintendo Switch
A physical Dark Forces / DF2 Jedi Knight 2-pack would go nicely alongside my Outcast/Academy box.
Just sayin
Re: Soapbox: Red Dead Redemption Ignited My Enduring Love Of The Old West
Wait, wait, wait...no mention of Blazing Saddles?!?
Also, 3:10 to Yuma. Check out a modern classic.
Re: Star Wars: Dark Forces Remaster Confirmed For Nintendo Switch
YES! Every time I contemplate beginning Jedi Academy, I think "Man, I wish I could play Dark Forces again.".
Re: Talking Point: The Games We Got Rid Of - What Were We Thinking?
Final Fantasy Mystic Quest. The only game I ever got rid of, and to this day I still don't understand why I did it.
Re: Pinball FX's First Marvel Collection Bounces Onto Switch Later This Month
I'm a fan of the Zen pinball tables, but it's the old Williams tables that really get me going. The FX table offerings were pretty sparse at launch, but I'm glad to see them working to remedy that so quickly.
Re: Reggie Fils-Aimé To Deliver Keynote At PAX West 2023
That's the longest 4 days ever!
Re: Take-Two CEO On Backward Compatibility: "Give Consumers What They Want"

Re: Talking Point: Will You Pay $50 For Red Dead Redemption On Switch?
I'll be waiting on a physical sale.
Re: Surprise! Red Dead Redemption Blasts Onto Switch Next Week
I'm pretty excited by this, tbh. Hopefully it runs well.
Re: Talking Point: Which Nintendo IP Should 'Switch 2' Launch With?
Donkey Konga.
Re: Random: This Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Statue Is Completely Ridiculous
This is from the forthcoming Michael Bay directed movie adaptation. Probably.
Re: Soapbox: These Everyday Items Trigger Me Now, And I Blame Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom
@Joxer
It can if it's marked "soapbox"!
I enjoy random, self-depreciating articles that refuse to take themselves seriously.
Re: PSA: For Goodness Sake, Don't Fall For This Nintendo Switch 2 'Leak'
Nintendo /might/ be more creative than that (but Wii U and 3ds suggest otherwise), but Switch 2 would be perfectly fine. Sequential numbering has worked fine for Sony for...always.

Re: Cult GBA RPG 'Riviera: The Promised Land' Is Getting An HD Remaster
I remember greatly desiring this game back in the day. Not sure why I never added it to my library. Looking forward to the remake.
Re: Upcoming Nintendo Switch Games And Accessories For July And August 2023
Just saw that Pinball FX is finally launching next week as well. Looks like it isn't quite "finished", but it will be available.
Re: Batman Arkham Trilogy For Switch Only Includes One Title On The Game Cartridge
I'm actually more surprised that there will be a physical release than that there will only be one game on the cart.
Re: Poll: What Did You Think Of Today's Nintendo Direct?
Not a single thing I had been hoping for, yet there were some great reveals. I liked it. 👍
Re: Star Ocean: The Second Story R Is A Full-Blown Remake Of A Classic PS1 RPG
One of my favorite PS1 JRPGs. Hopefully this and First Departure will get a physical release so I can stop eyeing those overpriced PSP releases that I passed on forever ago.
Re: More Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom amiibo Are On The Way
Another Zelda Amiibo?! Yes, please and thanks!
Re: Super Mario Bros. Wonder, A Brand New 2D Mario Game, Is Coming To Switch
A new "2d" Mario! Let's go!
Re: Batman Arkham Trilogy Swoops To Switch This Fall
I hadn't even dreamed these would get ported and I'm beyond ecstatic!
Re: Nintendo Confirms Legend Of Zelda amiibo Restock In The US
These are not the Amiibos I'm looking for.
Re: Back Page: What Would An Illumination Zelda Movie Be Like, Anyway?
Bad guy tries to take over / destroy the world. Princess asks a hero in tights to save everybody. Hijinks ensue.
Just my guess.
Re: Feature: Our Predictions For The June 2023 Nintendo Direct
No predictions, just desires.
The Wind Waker trilogy (or at least just Wind Waker).
Twilight Princess.
A Link to the Past remake.
(Seems like a theme....)
Capcom vs Marvel collection.
Ogre Battle 64 remaster.
Re: Legend Of Zelda amiibo Reprints Now Available (North America)
And I apparently missed them...again.
Re: Best Switch Games In Nintendo's Hyper Max eShop Sale (North America)
Finally pulled the trigger on Generations Ultimate.
Re: Legend Of Zelda amiibo Might Be Getting Reprints Soon (North America)
I've been checking the NA Nintendo store several times every day since the UK store had a restock several weeks ago. Eventually they'll be there.
Re: Looks Like The Best 'Star Ocean' Game Might Be Getting A Remake
I absolutely adored Star Ocean 2 on my PS1, and I'd pick up an "enhanced" (or whatever) Switch version for sure.
Re: Pixel Art RPG 'Drova' Showcases A Brutal Open World In Gameplay Trailer
That visual style gives me all kinds of nostalgic feels. Will keep both eyes on this one.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Ikaruga
Aside from the lame quote, I love the simple NA cover. Less is more sometimes.
Re: Front Mission 2: Remake Has Been Delayed On Switch
Well, ok, I'll wait.
Re: Round Up: Reviews For LOTR: Gollum Spell Doom For The Switch Release
@Cashews Dennis Mckiernan's Middle Earth-derivative works are, imo, excellent. There is a history between he and Tolkien's estate I won't get into.
Re: Devolver Is Shooting Weird West: Definitive Edition Over To Switch
Love wierd west stuff. Had my eye on this one, so I'm glad to see it coming to the Switch.
Re: Mortal Kombat 1 Confirmed For Switch, Launching September
@Nintendo4Sonic
I'll take a Mortal Kombat 3 Ultimate port any day!
Re: Mortal Kombat 1 Confirmed For Switch, Launching September
Well, that kicked the gratuitous gore up a notch, didn't it?!
