@FNL Not really one to comment here much but I REALLY agree with this. Snow Bros. may not be everyone's cup of tea but it's not really fair to say the remake is bad just because this particular reviewer didn't like the original game, if anything that's just pure bias. The DLC criticism is fairly valid at the very least, but I guess this game is considered a cult classic for a reason :/
I think this Switch Online update looks good and I'm somewhat excited to check out the new games, but Nintendo's really gotta do better with third-party support. Jaleco already has 10 games plus JaJaMaru coming soon, meanwhile there's only 4 games published by Konami! Sure, Konami barely re-releases stuff as of recent, but surely it wouldn't hurt to at least add something like Axelay... right?
Ironically enough, my NA copy of Kirby: Planet Robobot currently throws up an error screen every time it tries to boot, so... possible warning for that game too?
I've actually seen one of these bootleg Lego NES sets before, but the game used was Adventure Island. Kind of bizarre, but then again Adventure Island is pretty commonly bootlegged, so I guess it makes sense.
@Snatcher @Guyokai Don't worry, these should be releasing early 2021 in the States. The only reason they haven't released earlier is because of Burger King's PS5 promotion.
As obvious as this is, I do really hope that Nintendo will follow suit soon enough. I love Nintendo, but they gotta be better with pricing for older games.
If true, this could be amazing!! Many have had pipe dreams (pun absolutely intended) about this sort of thing, so having this happen would be so great! Plus, I've never played Sunshine or Galaxy 2, so that makes this whole thing even better!
I can honestly see why someone wouldn't like these, but I still wasn't expecting so much negativity! Personally I think the idea of interactive playsets is cool, although I do agree that regular sets would've been a little better. Looks like we could get a blindbag series according to a leaked set listing though, so we might still get Mario minifigures!
@Emob That would be awesome! I think that Punch Time Explosion had some great ambition but so-so execution, so I would love to see some sort of modern version of it!

@JayJ Figures.
Re: SNK Gals Fighters Gets Rated For The Nintendo Switch In South Korea
In my opinion, they should release these in an Arcade Archives format, that way everyone can buy them and more can be made.
A Switch port of Sonic Pocket Adventure would be absolutely amazing!

Re: You Can Now Stream Songs From Pokémon Mystery Dungeon's OST For Free On YouTube
@nessisonett I know, right? At least they have a few Kirby soundtracks on there.
Re: Tomb Raider's Lara Croft Is Joining Brawlhalla
@Emob That would be awesome! I think that Punch Time Explosion had some great ambition but so-so execution, so I would love to see some sort of modern version of it!
Re: Tomb Raider's Lara Croft Is Joining Brawlhalla
@DrDaisy No, actually- pretty sure you can still buy them with in-game currency.

Re: Random: Japan's Favourite Nintendo Character Devours The Competition Once More
@Forgotten_Arctic W O A H there partner, Kirby did nothing to ever hurt you.
Re: Pokémon Sword And Shield Will Feature New Gigantamax Forms Of Charizard, Pikachu And More
Gigantamax Eevee and Pikachu are both fantastic, but the fact that Game Freak is locking them behind Let's Go purchases is straight-up stupid.
At least the world is once again blessed by C H O N K Y Pikachu...
Re: The New Switch-Exclusive Bubble Bobble Will Include The Original Classic As Standard
So THAT's why Bubble Bobble never got on NES Switch Online... Cool! (Not trying to be sarcastic, I just think that's neat.)
