Might as well buy the rest individually... I already own Gal Fighters and Match of the Millennium. Even worse they announce this RIGHT AFTER dropping a highly sought after game. As Terry Bogard would say, “hey c’mon c’mon!”

Will await reviews and make sure they didn’t mess it up. Hope its physical if its good.

Just become a Vinnie Vincent fan. People are still hyped and excited for their preordered boxed sets from the mid 90’s, and currently pay $500 to meet him and to see if he can really still shred guitar or not. They pay even more for autographs and photos after admission price. Still waiting on Guitarmageddon. The hype is real.

And. I’ve done it to myself over the years with games. Sword of Mana, Castlevania Mirror of Fate to name a few... was pumped on nostalgia and was left ultimately bored. Other times my excitement was rewarded! Like Monster Hunter World.

I always thought E. Honda’s name was offensive. I always imagined people driving him. Seriously though. I had a rising sun bandana years ago I bought from a Japanese shop downtown in Mooresville NC. I walked into a coffee shop for veterans and got the “you got a target on your head, boy.” joke. Hence... WW2 and all that... I bought it because it looked cool and it reminded me of stuff I’d seen in movies, and the Loudness album cover. A few years later I joined the USAF. Not there anymore as that was years ago. However, I wouldn’t wear another flag but an American one now. Still love Japanese stuff, but I can see where people outside of Japan aren’t fond of that flag.

I think Splatoon 3 should have as much all new content as possible, so 2 can be relevant. I’m personally not ready for 3, but I won’t rob that excitement from die hard players. I hope its the best in the series gives the squids exactly what they want. I hope its like Mario 3 and Zelda 3, and people remember it for 30 years. Hopefully they’re bringing back more stuff from Splatoon 1 since many people missed that one, and won’t be hooking up a Wii U anytime soon.

@BJQ1972 Thanks. First one I’ve owned since the SNES. Just got it a few days ago and I’m very excited to play everything with it. It was a seamless experience the other night on Garou and Metal Slug X. So I was caught off guard with Capcom. Not used to remapping buttons, but I guess I will be soon. Lol!

Thanks for the replies everyone. I guess I’ll try that when I’m off work. Just kinda bugs me that I have to remap the controls for a new controller. I mean, it might seem like laziness, but really its a hassle if you think about it. Especially if you have to do it for each game. I guess I’ll drop the rewind button. Rewinding is for wimps and I’m using an arcade stick!!! Lol jk. But yeah... excited for some Cyberbots with this... even if I gotta redundantly buy some games I already have with it. Thats business I guess. Hope everyone is having a good day.

Well guys. I’m a bit disappointed. You can’t use the HORI Fighting Stick with this because they made it where you have to click the R stick on a joy-con or pro controller to load in an imaginary quarter. That is a huge oversight. Theres even Street Fighter themed fight sticks for Switch. Was Capcom even thinking? This is how some people are gonna prefer to play.

@Onion I LOVE Cyberbots!!! I’m in the same boat. Wished I could buy that alone.

Not complaining... but did anybody else notice that Mario Galaxy was a hit Wii game that was included with two other big Mario games on a $60 collection... and Skyward Sword was a hit Wii game NOT included with other Zelda games for $60? I’m getting it, I loved the Wii one... had the gold nunchuck to match the Wiimote... might get those joy-cons and hope they don’t get all smeary and drift... but I’m watching you, Nintendo. I’m watching you...

Great article! Don’t forget the imported Mega Man game for it!

@Fraba Thanks for the reply! So you swapped out the stick inside the HORI? How much better is it?

I bought Gradius 3 recently as it wasn’t on the Anniversary Collection. Which... is tougher than I imagined. Tried some other games and I found myself not playing as well as I used to. Turns out I have so many Hamster games on my Switch that it was time to give my 35 year old thumbs a rest and order a HORI fight stick. Maybe I can revisit all my fighting games and shmups in style next week. I’ll give this game a shot too.

I’m a big fan of Mario 2 as well, and noticed all of the references the first time around. It kinda bums me out that we don’t see more Mario 2 characters in games like Mario Kart. I have nostalgia for the old Super Show cartoon, and villains like Mouser and Fry Guy. I’m glad we got the game as Mario 2; and not Doki Doki Panic. It has always felt like a Mario game to me, and I prefer it that way.

I just want it to stay close to the source material I hold dearly, and that goes beyond race. Chris has to be an Air Force reject that punches boulders! Or I’m review bombing!

Really though, I’m wanting more news on Revelations 3 for Switch. I best hush my mouth though. I never got around to buying RE3 on PS4...

Theres some 3DS VC console games that should be on Switch as well, like 92 Recca and Murasame Castle. Surprised ya’ll didn’t know about the extra levels on SMA4. There was a whole news article on it and everything back then. It was exciting and why I bought it! Beat them all too!

Fantastic Mr. Star Fox might have been fun. However, I may have wanted more of the anime that came with Star Fox Zero, anyway. Gotta keep stuff to yourself until its time to reveal. I can’t show off a band’s album cover until the band and label are ready to reveal it, for instance. Loose lips sink ships.

My eyes have been dying for a long, long time.

I played until I’m satisfied. Still have about 10 quests left. Got two jobs and a huge backlog... but I wasn’t gonna miss the hunt. Got the deluxe edition and the amiibo all preordered and paid off. Hope we get the pro controller.

I love my complete cartridge. I need to go back and play it.

@Silly_G Yeah... had a lot of fun with them on my Wii U back when I finally got them. Its a shame they’re just novelty on the Switch now.

Darn... and I have a lot of unique Mario series amiibo. Gold and Silver Mario don’t even do anything special? Sheesh. Guess I’ll have the new ones on standby. Like @Silly_G said, a lot of untapped potential.

Now you’re modding with POWER. SKYWARD POWER! I think Skyward Sword on Switch is inevitable. We just need to be patient. It’ll be in the Zelda Anniversary announcement. I’d bet an eShop card on it if I could.

@FredsBodyDouble I think you’ll love it. Especially if they made it better than the Wii U version. Which I adored. The game has a good feel to it. It feels like classic Mario somehow crossed with some of the 3D games. It works.

I STILL have to beat the first one! Lol

This looks like a great game. The short length actually may be a selling point. Though, isn’t 10 hours is kinda long for a game like this?

I wonder how Burning Spear survived the 3DS era. Lol.

Speaking of which! Just because they’re releasing Mario and Monster Hunter editions of the Switch, don’t think they’re resting their laurels on a new and improved model. The 3DS came out while the DSi was still kind of fresh. I remember there were several versions of the 3DS, then I foolishly upgraded to the 3DSXL, which had several special editions, and then I foolishly upgraded to the “New” 3DSXL, which also kept coming out in various special editions. Mine was the MH4U one. Then I was torn when the faceplates N3DS came out, and then the Samus N3DSXL. Ultimately I stuck with my MH4U edition. Which. The A button no longer works and the battery doesn’t hold a charge. The silver paint is chipping away too. It was my baby. I kept it armored and cared for... but not enough it seems. They also hammered us with all kinds of 2DS models.

I’d honestly be afraid to get a special Switch. Knowing my luck, I’ll get a nifty newer Switch model, like this MH one, or the inevitable Zelda one... then a few months later we’ll get the Pro announcement.

If this becomes available locally and doesn’t cost more than it should, I’ll gladly get this. I’ve been rocking my Splatoon 2 Pro Con since it’s first day. It has never let me down. It kept me in the game while all four of my joy cons were at Nintendo repair for months. Pro Controllers are a solid investment.

Sure. I’ll grab these. I would also love to see the first set of MH Stories amiibo be rereleased in North America. I have a feeling they’ll all serve a purpose in Rise.

Would’ve been easy money from me had this been announced in North America awhile back.

But will Luigi Bros. still be playable?

Still hoping I find RE4 on cart by itself, used, out in the wild. I don’t want 5 or 6 on Switch. I may just break down and get it cheaper on PS4.

Saw it in theaters. Don’t do it. Its a pitfall trap which barrel bombed.

Just communicate with your kids and spend time with them. Learn about their favorite games and hobbies with them, understand why they like them. Let them learn and understand stuff about you. Show them other things. Be a parent. Have family board game nights or movie nights if you’re stuck inside. I don’t know. Probably harder than it sounds, but you don’t need NYT to tell you this. Haha

Hope these aren’t withholding special, golden content. Like how Wii U games used to know the difference between Gold, Silver, and Regular Mario.

I was Team Super Mushroom, but I don’t think I did well enough for a cool coin. I didn’t play religiously. Did get a few victories though. It was fun. Can’t wait for the Link Vs Ganon Splatfest. Lol

@the_beaver If you have Nintendo Switch Online, I greatly recommend Kirby’s Adventure on NES. I also recommend Kirby’s Super Star or Dreamland 3 on SNES, but especially Super Star. All of those games have held up well since my childhood. All the other Kirby games you’ll see on the SNES service are good too, but aren’t necessarily sidescrolling platformers. If you don’t have NSO, theres a free week on MyNintendo right now.

Was waiting to see the awesomeness of Bowser’s Fury before I preordered... as I was a devout Wii U player hating to double dip. When I finally did preorder the other day... I missed out of reserving the Cat Peach amiibo. Which makes me a little bummed out.

Nothing can match Club Nintendo’s assortment of free games and things like the gold nunchuck, CDs and game card cases. It made the Wii U era truly great. I didn’t need anything from MyNintendo when that came to be. I merely humor it. We should however bring back Nintendo Power stamps and trading cards.

I want this! Just writing more because “I want this” isn’t enough to post.

I’m clicking it to download, but it won’t pop up on my homescreen to actually start downloading... ugh. To those who have it downloaded, how many GB is it?

Don’t know what everyone is worked up about. Not like the thing will have themes and folders, or a second MicroSD slot. Lol

Long time ago. Especially on Wii U. 3DS version worked horrendously.

Deluxe Edition and all the amiibo are preordered and paid off at GameStop. Hope I don’t miss any preorder bonuses from the digital version. I can’t wait to play this with my local friends like old times.

Death threats and stuff? Screenshots or it didn’t happen. Lol. Don’t like the game or the rating, don’t buy it. Go play Crash Team Racing for free right now and get mad at that instead. Sheesh.

Just needs some built in guides and some Super Gameboy color choices. Though, I do feel $20 was too much. Almost at the end of FFL1. Remember, don’t let your character’s strength or agility surpass 255.

@AlexanderDaniels Not this one. Think we could use a Gradius Collection eventually. The arcade collection kinda only has the bare essentials.

@gcunit I hated that too. I want the weak monsters to at least bother me.

The game makes this play in my head... and I can’t escape.

I love Mario RPG, but we need something extra cool next. Such as a Metroid that can evolve into different forms, like they did on SR388.

I won’t complain, as theres plenty I haven’t even touched on these NSO apps. I’ve had Breath of Fire 2 on my mind for months, off and on, and I haven’t bothered with it. Last time I booted up the SNES app I rushed through and beat all of All-Stars when it dropped. Then another time I flew through StarFox. When I play my Switch, its always something new or a newer favorite. I think all these games are nice, and deep cuts are welcome. I do try them sometimes, even though most of those Jaleco games are the odd ones I never wanted to rent as a kid. They’d always be there looking lonely at the Video & Tan store. Lol.

It does puzzle me that we don’t have a Gameboy section, yet. I’m sure it would do well. I’d play stuff like Wario Land and Kirby’s Dream Land 2 right away. And hope for deep cuts like Sword of Hope.

Glad we got the full DKC trilogy before Christmas. Cheers everyone.
