Cute, but at $120 I don't think I can justify it. Maybe next time!

I couldn't wait and bought it on PS4. It's one of the best RPG gaming experiences to be had right now. If the Switch version runs smoothly, this will be a must have for sure!

I'm assuming since they apparently had tons of time to faff about making the weaboos happy that the game is literally without any faults, yes?

What a cretinous lot, to take offense and scream at the heavens all because a person dared to be themselves. History will not be kind to you. I suppose you can take some solace that you're hidden behind inane avatars and nicknames that a primary school student wouldn't find humor in. C'est la NintendoLife Commetariat, I suppose.

I'm into this. I'll watch Elba in anything.

Did you know that Tamagotchi is a portmanteau of Tamago (egg) and watch? Or that SCUBA is actually an acronym for Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus? Or that our lives are meaningless and we will all die alone? FUN FACTS!!

My body was not quite as ready as expected.

I wouldn't have thought a videogame about superheroes aimed at young girls would be a flashpoint for so many edgelords. sigh Gamerz gonna gamer, I guess.

Anyway, I originally clicked on this because my daughter likes games and these characters, and it surprised me that it might actually be good. I'm not sure it's worth dropping $50 for, but doubtless it will go on sale someday. So, I'm going to leave this garbage fire now and add it to my wishlist.

Dragon Warrior is the best, if only because it gives you the choice to just be evil at the last minute and join the Dragon Lord. That's legit for a game now, let alone one from the 80's.

Mario's fine. What's not to like?

@KateGray The Sunset Deku Tree?

These are both great. I picked Japan because I actually prefer the title in Japanese: Korokoro Kirby is cute and alliterative (a deadly combo!)

@nessisonett Bless you for trying to patiently explain these things.

I bought this last night as soon as I saw the announcement. It looks fabulous! I hope my long-suffering wife will join me, but even if not it's also made to be played solo. Can't wait!

Excellent! I was excited about this back in the day. Ultimately what it became was fine, but the SF elements felt shoehorned in and didn't really gel with the rest of it, in my opinion. It would've been cool to have another IP out there with a strong female lead as well, to keep poor, lonely Samus company.

I never played this, so I'm looking forward to finally getting the chance. That is all!

I'm not bothered if people like this, but the game looks boring and sad. That is all.

Hades is my pick for GOTY, and not just on Switch. Nothing else even came close.

"Purists will rubbish this, but as we all know, purists aren't worth listening to on any matter whatsoever (except perhaps water purity, which is life or death)."

Bravo!

I'm not usually into these types of games, but for some reason in 2020 the prospect of fighting fascism has piqued my interest. I may check it out!

Please do not feed the trolls, everyone.

I have a Switch (obvs) but I don't know what I'll do for the new gen yet. I won't probably decide until the first revision and price drop, when there's a better pool of games and the systems are more stable.

Japan's isn't bad, but the NA/Europe cover really captures the cosmic horror and mystery elements. Adding in characters and monsters grounds it a bit too much, and you really need that "This is bigger than you can comprehend, and there is no hope" message front and center.

This is wrong. The Switch was revealed 400,000 years ago by my estimation.

I don't follow soccer, so I don't have any idea what any of this means. I picked Japan because that zany bird reminds me of Woody Woodpecker.

The Japanese one is crap, but I picked it because of that sweet coupon ad. ¥4,000 off a Super Famicom is a great deal!

...oh, it expired in January of '96. Rats.

@korosanbo Nintendo are selling new Switches like crazy right now. It's a fair bet most of those folks never had a Wii U (or bought MK again to have on Switch)

@Flashvinnig QED

We do not deserve Sakurai. Gamers are cretinous, ungrateful malcontents when they don't get exactly what they want. And yet, Sakurai is here all the same, giving us his life and wellbeing. Bless him.

@Cool_Squirtle Be careful what you wish for.

@Apportal It got an AO. The DLC is actually Bowser's Furry, and, well... the less said the better, is all.

Asking me what my favorite 3D Sonic is, is a bit like asking for my favorite disease.

The idea that anyone would ever - could ever - care about something so vastly unimportant is mind boggling and depressing in the extreme.

World's in fire, folks. Maybe let's be mad about that?

Karen will "not appreciate your tone" and "demand your manager" to get you moving.

What strange times we live in...

SM64, because I am super excited to share it with my five year old daughter. The other games are still a little too hard for her. 64 is also probably the single greatest feat in gaming history, which deserves to go first.

For myself, I'm excited to finally play Galaxy. I never got it on Wii back in the day, and I've always regretted missing out.

I'm also interested to revisit Sunshine. I never finished it because I lost interest halfway through. I've always wondered if that was frustration at not getting more SM64, or if the game was truly just not that exciting. I will finally get to find out!

I'm shocked at the folks calling Hollow Night bad. It's the next best thing to Symphony of the Night, IMO. I know not everything is for everyone, but... holy smokes.

In the U.S. preorders are still available at all the big options, so I'm guessing these are either people who jumped the gun and assumed it would be rarer than it is, or they're just hoping that eventually it sells out.

My guess is Nintendo is making more than enough for anyone who wants a physical copy to get one by March. I still contend that after that all three games will be available individually. You just don't put that much effort into remastering and optimizing for a platform to trash it right away. It's throwing money away.

I remember when this came out. I had it pre-ordered and kept bugging my mom to call the store: "Try! They might have gotten it in and just not called us yet!" It's amazing she never got fed up and took away my SNES.

I think it's fair to say that these games don't always surpass the originals, but I love that this exists. And what's even better, is now we can all play our preferred versions of each game any time. Everyone wins!

I'm guessing it's limited edition for the pack, and they will release each game for separate purchase down the road. It's too much work to remaster and optimize for a new platform to permanently remove it.

Christ, the edge in these comments. I'm bleeding. Seriously, if you like/dislike the game that's fine, but don't be a jerk about it. Y'all look like children.

Gatekeeping is for punks. "Play how you want to play, and let others do the same" should not be a controversial statement, but I guess gamers can't help but be their own worst enemy.

@Solomon_Rambling It does. I get wanting to know how it stacks up. But it's also helpful for newcomers like me to know how the game rates on its own merits, outside of that broader context. Sometimes having a fresh take is helpful.

@Solomon_Rambling Why should that frustrate you? They're two different people, with two different opinions, about two different games.

@OorWullie They said that months ago, before I think anyone really understood the gravity of the situation. It may not have affected software in the short-term, but I believe their conservative approach to summer announcements shows they are unsure of whether they can fulfill their long-term releases on time. I suspect it will continue to be a dripfeed of small announcements going forward, rather than any major pushes.

2020 needs an asterisk. Nintendo can't be blamed for a global pandemic. Also, fiscally they're doing well right now thanks to the public buying Switches and the software they had ready being a smash hit; it's just their upcoming games that got hosed. If the pandemic continues on its current course, next year will be even worse.

The Genesis port of Virtua Racing cost $100 in 1994, due to the extra development costs compared with other games. I also remember paying $70 pretty routinely back then: Secret of Mana, Final Fantasy 3, Street Fighter 2... it's crazy that this industry keeps getting cheaper, but gamers keep getting more childish in their attitudes toward pricing. It's a microcosm of society's broader relationship with modern convience, really.

@AlexOlney You better believe that's a paladin!

This game is tops. The performance issues are incredibly minor, and will no doubt be patched out soon, but the game is worth buying even in its current state.

Being passionate about art is great, folks, but I don't think it's necessary to snipe one another. We can like what we like, and others can feel differently about what they like - it's not a zero sum game.
