Hey. At least they’re interested in making their catalog of past titles available for people to play.

@Screen nah dawgg. If Nintendo hates piracy then making their games as easily accessible as possible would combat piracy. Music piracy decreased insanely once iTunes made buying the songs legally way easier than pirating them.

@Rika_Yoshitake Xbox live arcade games are still up. And Sony backtracked on shutting down their stores after similar outrage. So don’t really know what you’re talking about.

This situation is why I laugh whenever a video game publisher claims that this medium is art. If it were art it would be important to publishers to preserve their creations. If it were art, publishers would take steps to ensure that their art is available to as wide an audience as possible. Notice how every work of literary fiction is automatically by law registered with the Library of Congress? Notice how you can stroll to your local library and borrow thousands of years worth of literary works? That’s cuz it’s art, and is treated as such. Films are also lightyears ahead of video games when it comes to this. Video game makers love to hold the game awards, and love to talk of art when it serves their marketing interests. But they are absolutely disgraceful when it comes to actually treating their works as art should properly be treated.

Save your money. Buy it on the Wii u eshop or the 3d version on 3ds eshop instead. You’ll still be able to play those versions long after NSO shuts down.

I highly question that it would really be much of a drain on Nintendo’s resources to keep these stores open. Sony backtracked on shutting down the Vita and PS3 stores, thank god. Nintendo could do the same very easily if they chose to. I’m very much looking forward to NSO being closed down in a decade or so and people losing access to all of the games available on it. Only this time you won’t be able to play them at all after it closes. At least you’ll be able to play Wii u games that are downloaded after the eshop closes.

Funny. Nintendo just announced that all the games on the 3ds and Wii u eshops will be forever unpurchasable a year from now. So to all of those who tout these subscription services I ask, what happens when Nintendo shuts down NSO in 10 years or so? What happens to all those games? With the Wii u eshop you at least can play all the games you bought and downloaded long after the shops close down. Like you can with Wii shop channel games. But with subscription services. Once they’re shut down, the games are gone forever. I can still pop my Sega Genesis cart of Sonic 2 into my system and play it to this very day. 30 years later. How many games released solely on subscription services will be playable 30 or even 10 years down the line? These services might seem like a good deal now. But will they still be so if you can no longer play your favorite games once these services inevitably shut down? Something to keep in mind as time elapses.

It might be Nintendo’s legal right to do this, but it’s beyond idiotic and entirely scummy to do so. Where do they provide an alternative where you can listen to all of their game music? Nowhere. Also this is such a moronic move from a business perspective. Having amazing music that people can easily share on YouTube is such a slam dunk free advertising opportunity. They’re literally snuffing out an entire avenue of exposure and discussion around their games. Notice how Square doesn’t do the same with Final Fantasy music? No. Square leaves it up on YouTube for all to listen. And then has regular concerts it puts on with renditions of said music. They use that free exposure and advertising to their advantage. Nintendo needs to learn that publicity and exposure is free advertising. They finally learned this with let’s plays. They need to learn it with this. I have literally decided to buy games after listening to their music on YouTube before. I know others have too. Come on Nintendo.

I think we’ll finally see something this year. As for when it’ll release? I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s this year or 5 years from now. Who knows?

Sorry Bobby my boy, but claiming fake news about a WSJ report, one of the big three papers of record, ain't a good look. Though to be fair, your reputation can't be tarnished much further.

Game companies can’t even sell video games as it is without employing absolute scumbag tactics. So no. NFTS aren’t good. It’s like Facebook touting the metaverse. Why should anyone be excited about that when Facebook can’t even run their 2d website without viral spread of misinformation and huge amounts of depression. What you currently do is rubbish so why think you’ll be any different with something else?

New Metroid. 10/10.

Oh my god. I can’t believe Sonic has to save the day.

So. Breath of the Sonic mixed with Sonic of the Colossus. I’m sure it’ll be perfectly fine given Sonic Team’s track record. Especially on Switch. I mean they got Sonic Colors, a Wii game, to run so perfectly fine on it.

Rest In Peace good sir. You are one of the people most responsible for the countless hours of joy brought to T.V.s throughout the world.

Nah dawgg. You got all the assets left from Ultimate. You could absolutely make the next one bigger. Especially since it's literally one of the best selling series in the world and Nintendo actually has near unlimited resources to achieve it. If it has been done once. It can be done again.

Also Link's awakening Switch should be a separate game on this list. It would be at 0% if it were separated from the garbage GB versions. It's unfair that it is one of the best games in the series, but has to be lumped in with its aged, garbage tier, only good through rose tinted glasses, original versions.

@Ultimapunch It's utterly shocking that only 5% of the people voting here have even played all of the games.

Anyone who didn't vote for the OG Zelda has really revealed to everyone that they haven't actually played all of them from start to finish.

It’s Prime 4 100%

I like that they actually considered it from a speedrunning perspective. I'm still hurt about the early Space Jump and Plasma Beam "fixes" in later releases of Prime 1. So I'm glad they're actually considering whether it is something that could hurt casual players or not.

@HeroOfTime32 Yeah. I actually think they overcorrected bug fixes in subsequent releases of Prime 1. It's why speed runners still prefer the original Black Label NA release. I actually prefer it too.

And it’ll never EVER get an HD remaster.

They should have Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster for Switch too. Like seriously.

It’s Rayman. 100%. There’s a terminator 2 reference in Rayman Legends as well.

Yeah man. If it's really locked behind an amiibo then it's a scumbag move full stop. It doesn't matter how many scumbag moves they've gotten away with before, it's still scum and still sucks. It also doesn't matter how many people buy it. It's still a scum move.

Come on people. I want Prime HD as much as anyone could. But harassing a dude who isn't even involved in the series anymore is beyond moronic. Grow up. If you want to productively use your time then try and make your voice heard to Nintendo. And do it in a polite and respectful manor. Cuz you're never going to make anyone want to give you what you want if you're totally disrespectful to them. It's that simple.

I'm so glad Nier is finally getting the love it deserved...... If only Metroid could as well....

I actually prefer this style over making them look like Sword and Shield. I really want them to remake Heart Gold and Soul Silver in this same style.

1. Metroid
2. Metroid
3. Metroid
4. Literally just an acknowledgement that Metroid exists and will be 35......

This game is insanely underrated.

If you had to spend hours grinding on the moon in FFIV then you was playing the game super wrong dawg. That game is ridiculously easy to get through without any grinding. If you were playing the DS (or 3d) version then I can maybe understand as it's way harder and totally different with its balancing.

@1031Gamer I don't understand why that isn't standard for literally all ports of older games ever.
