I love this game. I played it to death on my 3DS, but couldn’t beat it. I wished they had also released this and 92 Recca (and others) on Wii U so I could play it on TV. It would be a nice surprise to play on Switch.
I rented Spanky’s Quest when I was a kid, and even remember it in GamePro... but I don’t remember anything about it. I’m not sure I liked it or if I beat it. Or what it even looks like anymore. But, I know I’ve played it.
You all had a Virtual Boy comment party without me I see. Yes to everything. Wario Cruise should be remade, and featured on Wario All-Stars with an unlimited release. Wario likes unlimited money.
It sucks to hear about that. And it sucks that anything Metroid Prime is in limbo. But I’m thankful for the old systems, and what I have, and what we are at least able to get.
Do an Earthbound All-Stars on one cart, each game unified with updated graphics. Then make it limited release so people can raise hell about it again for years to come.
Could do with some golden eggs. But thank you, Capcom. Gonna be negative for a second... I loved paying for all the amiibo, getting the more expensive deluxe edition which didn’t add that much, finally getting the overpriced pro controller, and beating the final hub boss... seeing the game unfinished... only to have to wait for an update, and see that there is now a second $30 DLC pack. A fine mix of capitalism and arrogance, Capcom.
Those on the fence, don’t mind this old hunter. The game is fun and very well made. My wallet is just crying.
I 100% Lost World on Wii U, and there were some things left I guess I could have done. It would have involved lots of grinding, if I can remember what it was. I loved the Sega Saturn level, and had the Zelda and Yoshi level too. I hated not being able to go back and rewatch cutscenes, or not have more than one file. Its now annoying to start up on Wii U because it keeps trying to use the Miiverse feature. It was a good game. Should come to Switch for $20 with a few improvements.
@Pokester99 You completely misunderstood my comment. I invest my money just fine, and I play all kinds of games. Not just stuff for adults. PSVR has stuff like Moss and Astro Bot. Which is what I enjoyed most from it. Also in my comment I mentioned how much I enjoyed the Super Scope as a kid. Which was on SNES with Yoshi’s Safari. The cardboard gun was a huge step down in quality. So it makes sense the Labo stuff didn’t hold up.
Not gonna lie. Once I got to try PSVR on my PS4 Pro, I gave my Labo VR to a coworker’s kid. We need a real VR device from Nintendo. I also wasn’t crazy about stuff being made from cardboard and rubber bands. I kinda want my Nintendo peripherals to be made sturdier. It just wasn’t as cool as the Super Scope I had when I was little.
@Lanmanna I am. Thank you. During that game’s release, I was getting medically discharged from the USAF, and had my heart broken several times over. That game was an escape and I 100% it. I’m now a civilian, married, with two jobs. I hope this game feels like the first time and I can make new memories with it.
I love this game, but it brings back sad memories of things that was happening in my life at the time of its original release. I have it preordered, but Im wondering if I have the heart to see it through again.
Some Gameboy and Zoda’s Revenge would be a small request from me, in contrast to everybody wanting Earthbound, Mario RPG and N64. Which would be nice too. I bought my friend a year of NSO, and we checked out some of the SNES games with multiplayer... not the first party ones. Just to give them all a chance with an open mind. We were not impressed. We are both in our mid 30s. Nintendo really does need to do better.
I won a match last night, not really knowing what the different attacks did. So I stayed on default. This is pretty cool, and I do like Pac-Man. I’ve owned quite a bit of his games on different systems throughout my life... but I don’t see myself on this much or buying the DLC. Not that its bad, I guess I’m just in Monster Hunter mode.
In most MH games, you want to capture at least one of each monster for an award. However, back on MH3U I had a shoutout set to “cap or slay?” There has probably been some lost etiquette since World and all the newcomers. Just like, don’t join somebody’s room and just post a quest. Lol
Fantastic game! But I already bought it at full price, physically with the manual and stickers a long time ago. Pick it up if you haven’t. I recommend it 100%, because I didn’t stop until I beat it 100%.
On my way to get my physical copy now. We had a bad storm yesterday in GA, and my amiibo won’t be at GameStop sadly. I’ll have to venture back out to get those.
Just wait and see. I’ll believe it if I hear it from Nintendo. Until then its all bench racing. If I see a Monster Hunter edition Switch this Friday, I’m probably buying it. I’ll actually be mad if they release an upgraded version a few months later. All this Switch Pro talk just makes me wanna hold on to my launch console, and I don’t wanna miss out on a cool edition over rumors.
This game is bad alright. Bad as hell. I’ll pretend I’m the magnum packing 80’s conservative cop, Sledgehammer. Gonna tell crime to shut up on these blood streets. Gonna have to ask you to trust me. I know what I’m doing...
I don’t play this as much as I should. I have a hope that Nintendo will announce Gameboy to Switch Online, and to celebrate give us a Super Mario Land 2 mode in the extra section. Theres still that one spot.
Its a great package! I’m actually glad I wasn’t stubborn because I played the Wii U version. Also. Nobody answered these questions for me. So I found them out on my own.
Luigi Bros. is still in the game. So its technically three games on the cartridge! Using the Cat Mario or Cat Peach amiibo will not remove the sparkles from the stars on your save file.
I love old, hand drawn Zelda artwork. Especially the Zelda 2 stuff. I also really like the smooth, early 90’s anime style of A Link to the Past. Not the comics, but what you see in the manuals and stuff.
Also. I do somewhat agree with the writer. I needed time to read the rest of the article while at work. I think Nintendo has done well giving us new things like Splatoon and Arms. Xenoblade and Daemon X Machina (not all developed by Nintendo but exclusive to Nintendo) are more my style. I know Chibi Robo and Pikmin probably doesn’t do as well as they’d like. They do try to give us new ideas sometimes, but they aren’t well received. A lot of stuff during the 3DS and Wii U era, I did try to give a chance. I personally would love to see Nintendo try to reach the more serious, mature audience. Do their own spin on games like Metal Gear, Ghost, Witcher, or Dark Souls. Like, a hardcore, new Mysterious Murasame’s Castle game.
We get a good balance I think. Looking back, you had one good Zelda, one good Metroid, a couple of good Mario games on the SNES. Then side stuff and great 3rd party. We’ve actually got quite a bit of fresh games on Switch that offer a lot of gameplay and replay value. I still gotta finish Xenoblade 2, and I have loose ends on Breath of the Wild and Mario Odyssey. I think what ports or remakes we’ve gotten are welcome. I actually get overwhelmed. As bad as I want Metroid Prime Trilogy HD, I would have to make room for it. I think its good balance that we’re getting Skyward Sword HD to hold us over until Breath of The Wild 2. Honestly, a few more Wii games wouldn’t hurt... like WARIO LAND!!!
I’ll be ready. As long as preorders don’t go like a flash in the pan. I’m not racing against scalpers or paying them. My wife wants my old Switch when this inevitably releases. Lol. I think its real. Its just not time to announce it all. Its why I haven’t went insane for a Monster Hunter edition.
I just went to Arby’s in my town and they wouldn’t sell them to me because they had to get rid of the old toys first. I was nice about it and said I’d check back.
@Papichulo I have a beautiful, golden custom cartridge of the first BS Zelda!
And everybody here wanting Virtual Boy Wario Land and StarTropics? Among other things? Madness! I thought I was alone for many years crying out for these on every Nintendo survey! You are all true believers! But alas... we can’t even get Zoda’s Revenge or Earthbound on NSO.
This was one of my first NES games I’d spend hours playing with my dad’s help. It really captured my imagination as a child, and it’s style and difficulty kept me returning throughout my life. No matter how many superior Zelda games are released and rereleased, I can revisit Adventure of Link and still have a fantastic time. I would love to see a remake, as long as they don’t take away its magic. It’s darkness, mystique and edge. Its one of the heaviest Zelda stories. Ganon’s underlings wanting revenge, to sprinkle Link’s blood over his ashes to resurrect him. The bosses are terrifying and difficult. You eventually face the horrible Thunderbird, and stare into your own shadow with barely an inch of your life left. Nothing about this game is cute and Disneyish like later Zeldas. I adore it.
This is BAD news. I HAVE to get my silver MH4U edition fixed! Now I know I’ve waited too long. And if it goes down again... MAN! I’ve got too much invested in it. All my games are downloaded on a huge SD card. Never mind my ambassador games.
Power Fantasy is the name of my new band. And. I didn’t know they gave Sledgehammer his own video game. I’m totally buying it. (Sledgehammer is an 80’s cop show that satires 80’s cop shows...)
I think the even better part about playing it on the SNK 40th instead is being able to switch between the arcade and console version. Last I checked anyway. Its been awhile since I played it.
Was anybody able to get a preorder on the Zelda joy-con? I heard lots of people were having trouble. I wanna get them, but I’ll be afraid to use them. Lol. New joy-cons mailed to me from Nintendo last year over drift... are now starting to drift. And I try to keep them nice and only use them on occasion. And yes. Thats too much red. The only red you need is Virtual Boy red.
EDIT: Never mind. I saw the preorders aren’t even open yet. I think the same for the Monster Hunter Rise controller as well.
Seen too many black widows and brown recluses where I live. Had a scorpion infestation in my house a few months back. It was weird. They all get the squish as their final wish.
