Holy. Crap. That's a big download.

Hopefully some of that support is in the form of Wind Waker.

That 540M% could have kept these people on. Shady business dealings hurt the little guys again.

I think I'd stop short of calling everyone who shows up for these things scalpers. While I have zero doubt that some are, I'm just not that cynical to think even most of them are.

@epicgamner
Right?!? I see this pop up and I'm frantically searching for news of the new port.
I guess I needed that adrenalin rush this afternoon.

Perfect example of "just because you can, doesn't mean you should".

This is exactly why I was waiting for that "promise" to be fulfilled before purchasing KotoR 2. And why I said MK1 isn't worth purchasing based on a "promise" to bring it up to par (feature-wise) with the other versions.

I have both GC games (one still in shrink!), but both were victims of a multi-generational (platform) backlog that I still haven't managed to get under control.

I do love seeing these re-releases / re-masters / re-mixes / re-whatevers.

Yeah, I got nothing from that teaser.

Wait, Mario is a vampire?!

I would rather a system-delay than a "Hey, here it is for 70$, we'll patch it up to full-function later. Trust us.".

Axed? More like chainsawed. Amirite?!?

My grandkids love Bluey. I love Bluey. I can't imagine a Bluey game being anything close to enjoyable.

goes back to watching Bluey

I remember spending a ton of time with this on the PS1, mainly for the crafting system as I recall (man, that was a looong time ago!). I didn't bother finishing the Switch demo because I'll be playing the full version soon enough, but I was quite impressed with it!

As for the Jrpg talk that has been going around, my opinion of it has always been that Jrpgs put you into the shoes of a chosen protaganist (or group of them) to experience /their/ stories. Western rpg were about creating a character and making your own story within the confines of an established world. Never once was it about combat or anything other than how the story was presented. [My .02]

When the devs acknowledge that the game is not feature-komplete (I couldn't resist either) at launch, but they'll patch in what's missing later, it's a hard pass for me. Once they've finished the modes that the other systems have at launch, then I'll consider it. I'd hate to pay full price only for them to say later "sorry, we tried but couldn't make it work".

I'm seeing Hasbro's DnD cluster-F all over again.

It's glorious! I played it on my PS1 and have considered the PSP release, but this is beautiful! So ready for the full game!

"People are licensing our engine and making tons of money, what do we do?"

"Charge them for every install of their games?"

"Brilliant! But what if they stop using our engine for future products?"

"Simple, make the cost per install retroactive."

"!!!!!!! Give this man a million dollar bonus. We're gonna be rich!"

(Probably)

It's decisions like this that chip away at my faith in humanity.

Overall, I thought it was ok. Not as much caught my eye as I had hoped, but what did was great. DK and Mario, Paper Mario, Peach's now-titled game, Unicorn Overlord, New Saga game. Some good stuff!

Downloading it now!

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.

Ogre Battle, Knight of Lodis, and Ogre Battle 64 remakes, please and thanks!

@RobynAlecksys
While I respect your opinions on the matter, I do not, nor will I, share in them. Have a nice day.

3 million and 1...if they'd release another round of physical copies. Just sayin'.

(Yes, I know, PlayAsia)

@LikelySatan
I get that. I was referring to the style.

Wow! I am totally intrigued by this!

This was the moment. The moment I'd finally seen everything.

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.

This is going to be amazing!

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.

That's fine. Take your time and don't screw this one up. It deserves all the attention you can give it.

A physical Dark Forces / DF2 Jedi Knight 2-pack would go nicely alongside my Outcast/Academy box.

Just sayin

Wait, wait, wait...no mention of Blazing Saddles?!?

Also, 3:10 to Yuma. Check out a modern classic.

YES! Every time I contemplate beginning Jedi Academy, I think "Man, I wish I could play Dark Forces again.".

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.

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.

That's the longest 4 days ever!

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.

I'll be waiting on a physical sale.

I'm pretty excited by this, tbh. Hopefully it runs well.

Donkey Konga.

This is from the forthcoming Michael Bay directed movie adaptation. Probably.

@Joxer
It can if it's marked "soapbox"!

I enjoy random, self-depreciating articles that refuse to take themselves seriously.

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.

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.

Just saw that Pinball FX is finally launching next week as well. Looks like it isn't quite "finished", but it will be available.

I'm actually more surprised that there will be a physical release than that there will only be one game on the cart.

Not a single thing I had been hoping for, yet there were some great reveals. I liked it. 👍
