So Crab controls like PSP Monster Hunter eh? They knew what they were doing here...

They did it just to rile NintendoLife up and get an article out of them. Lol

New Dragon’s Dogma I hope. Even if its on PS5, and I’ll never obtain it.

Physical. They should at least give the item to people who register the game in a timely manner. Like most preorder DLC items in games lately, this probably isn’t all that useful. (I’m looking at you, Rabite Charm on Trials of Mana.) Also, no online play really does stink, but I’m not surprised.

I live in an upstairs apartment, and I’m a grown man... so I’ve been hesitant to try this. Lol

All these have bad scores except Zelda. Zelda 3D All-Stars confirmed. Long live Wii U. Will never sell mine. Lol

@John_Koshiro Thank you for noticing.

This video had to exist? If anything, it makes me regret my physical preorder. Lol! I expected as much. Tear off plastic... ohh look! No booklet, no stickers, no cloth, no patches or anything! Not even a little commemorative card that thanks you for buying the game! At least it has reverse artwork. Lol. Can’t wait to redeem my chump change amount of gold coins off of the game card.

Now. If you think I’m asking for too much, I’ve bought some killer Switch games that came with all of that. And man, I was impressed.

Gonna be nice to play these on Switch though, and not dig out my Wii U. Well, when I beat Galaxy and wanna play Galaxy 2, guess I’ll dig out my Wii U. Lol. I’m sure they’re saving it for another collection or something... who knows... trying to be positive about that one. Mario games really hold up, even not remastered. Theres a whole lotta gameplay to be had on that $60 cartridge. When you look back at the old All-Stars, even having 4 games instead of these 3, you can breeze through them all in a day or two. No warp zones either. Maybe Galaxy 2 would have been overkill... but I still wouldn’t mind seeing it later on.

Will RPG Maker have a free version for people who just wanna try other people’s creations, like the 3DS version had?

Has anybody asked if Luigi Bros. is still gonna be included? I actually enjoyed playing that on the Wii U version.

So I just ran through SMB1 on All-Stars, and I did notice some weirdness with hitting some of the item boxes. Especially later in the game. Hit boxes were all kinds of betraying me on 8-2. I died from enemies that weren’t even touching me, or that I was technically on top of. And I almost jumped through a box. But I eventually got through the level. Maybe I never noticed when I was younger. It was all very minor though, and overall the game was enjoyable.

I have a lot of happy memories with this cartridge, and I even have the updated All-Stars + World cart tucked away in my closet. I was the one of first kids in my local mall to pick the game up from KB Toys. They gave me Nickelodeon Gak and something else with it... I remember the Gak specifically. My dad and I played All-Stars to death together over the years. Later on, I did find myself preferring the NES version of Mario 3. It has a style about it, and the music is bumping. Some of the music and visuals are too “nice” on All-Stars, and make me feel sleepy or lazy, for some reason. I never noticed the brick feeling, but now I’ll check it out. And it is a huge plus that you don’t have to beat Lost Levels repeatedly for the extra levels. I got tired of trying to achieve that on other VC releases.

I was excited... now I’m not. I think I just want the original...

Can’t wait! Both Dragons Trap and Monster Boy are perfect 10 games to me. I also loved Monster World 4. Hope that comes to Switch alongside this release.

I think a fair argument about the price would be when you compare it to how much Virtual Console games used to cost on 3DS and Wii U. A solid, classic SNES game costs $7.99. If I remember correctly. I could be wrong. While a NES game was $4.99, and a Gameboy game was even less, depending. So should a Neo Geo Pocket Color game be as much as a SNES game? Probably not, but I’m thankful we’re getting them, and I understand its a business.

I can’t believe the game is 10 years old. I absolutely loved it, and couldn’t imagine going back to normal controls on a Zelda game at the time. I’m very open to it being remastered on Switch, even if that means control changes.

I loved it, but I couldn’t play it much after my first run. Despite getting relatively use to all of it, some stuff was still just too ridiculous with two screens. Like the force field boss. Ugh. I wouldn’t mind trying it again on Switch. Not sure how it would work though, unless they just rebuild it for single screen.

How come they never put Ultra Street Fighter 2 on sale? I always think about Resident Evil 4, but I’d want that on a standalone cartridge. I know I probably should just download it... ah well.

I beat this a few weeks back and loved it. I was missing just a tiny bit of map and maybe two body parts. All the statues were destroyed, and I died on some spikes. When I went back for my ghost, it was on the spikes... thats when I put the game down. This sounds like a great opportunity to revisit it.

I love my Virtual Boy, and I like this list. Fun article! Wishing for a good VB Wario Land remake to give the Labo VR a second wind.

So... now about that Metroid easter egg we saw awhile back. Any day now we’ll get some Metroid news... right?
I got Color Splash on sale several years ago, and I tried getting into it. I just wasn’t hooked, and got bored. I didn’t get very far. I tried to beat Sticker Star, actually made it to Bowser, and the game just wasn’t blowing me away. I put it down and never bothered to rematch him. I’m a huge Mario fan, my whole life, and I wonder if it was me, my age, being into different games, or if those games really were weak. I just fear Origami King will collect dust like my other Paper Mario games, that I gave an honest try to. Super Mario RPG is still one of my very favorite games. Maybe theres a bias? Who knows...

20/21! Got Spirit Tracks and Phantom Hourglass mixed up. Lol

If only it had DLC of Peewee Herman being in a movie theater.

@impurekind It boggles me that neither that or Axelay was put on the SNES Classic. I also love Gradius 3.

@KayFiOS I would also love to see Parodius!

And I’m with many people here, I have the Konami Collection... so I’m curious if it even matters to consider this? I also have the TG-16 Gradius on Wii U. Lol

When I wanna play something, when I have time, I’m on my Switch or PS4. I don’t really have time for anything else. I’ve tried the mobile games. They were okay, but weren’t enough to keep me engaged.

Super Gameboy was my favorite.

Just makes me wish the AVGN games would hurry up and come to Switch.

Did not know about using the taser on the arcades. Super glad they let Cherry have her guitar. Thats one thing my buddy and I got a kick out of while playing it. Estel looks like a playable character waiting to happen. Would love the kangaroo. I also love this style of graphics, along with Dragon’s Trap. I’ve always found it brilliant to see good cartooning and animation in a game, and I would love to contribute something like that to a game, myself, someday. While pixel art is valuable and cherished, the 90’s kid in me always said “yeah, when I grow up... video games are gonna look like actual cartoons. You’ll be able to play cartoons.” And it came true! And it makes me happy!

I’ll try it! Not quite the Castlevania or Metroidvania we’ve all been wanting, but years ago I said to myself that it would be cool if they did a light hearted, cartooned Castlevania. Maybe this is more along those lines.

Are the lovely people at NintendoLife ambassadors, though?

I don’t think anybody here mentioned Metal Gear...

I would love to buy more games, but can’t at the moment. Especially Xenoblade. That Adam’s Venture sounds mighty interesting though.

Bring back SatAM with each episode offering Sonic Mania DLC, and watch the world burn...

I’m just being a punk. (Edit)

Would be rad to get an all new, old school turn based Phantasy Star. With updated first person segments in the dungeons.

I know everybody wants Konami to put out a new Castlevania in this style, but the last one they released was Mirror of Fate... and it wasn’t my favorite game. I wasn’t impressed. I had it preordered, I 100% it that weekend... never returned. It was traded for “peanuts” a few weeks later. I usually never trade Castlevania games. So, while theres a lot of “mediocre” Metroidvanias on Switch, I give them a nod if they’re at least better than MoF, and have better than 8-bit graphics.

While I appreciate classic looking games, and share so much love for Castlevania... I think I’m with most people here. This style is getting quite oversaturated. I like to see more developers at least do 16-bit and be innovative. Bring something in that makes the game special. But... if he makes it well enough and I get the opportunity to play it, I’ll give it a shot. Gotta start somewhere, maybe this game serves a purpose in a grand career of making games.

@PhilKenSebben Yes! And Shadow Tower!

I made it to number 2 yesterday. NUMBER 2!!! And I was beaten by a player named “No.”

Bobby’s World will rear it’s head in vengeance.

Off topic, but I really hope the Neo Geo Pocket Color version of the game becomes available for everyone. Also the horny on main street comment triggered something in my brain. Now I have to go listen to the first Tokyo Blade album. I need a “midnight rendezvous.”

@TheJosdude Thank you. I couldn’t remember. I wasn’t interested in this at first, but now its growing on me.

I’m willing to give this one a go. Any word if it has online play?

I wanted to buy one for my fiancé recently. For her birthday. Couldn’t buy any online at Gamestop, not even used, and there weren’t any in either of the Walmarts in my town. The 3DS is almost completely gone.

@Benji80 I just never devote the time. Other games and priorities keep getting in the way. Every time I’ve gotten it, I’ve said, “I know this is a great game, I need to beat it.” Then, however, I get pulled back into something else. Lol.

Still funny to me, seeing David so young and boyish in Guyver 2.

Had Starlink physically and none of the toys... traded it. It was really cool at first, but it wasn’t holding me. Even with Fox. The idea of buying absolutely every ship, character and weapon really turned me off too. I have both AC3 and 4 on Wii U, they were way cheap back then, and I need to play them more. AC4 was $5 at one point. Maybe I’ll start over on Switch someday, my library is already so huge. Rayman Legends, I own on Wii U, Switch, and PS+... and haven’t beaten it on any of them. Lol. I was so excited for the game when it was originally going to be a Wii U exclusive.

I’m personally in love with Mabel. Hope he draws more.

Wished the Samurai Shodown NGPC game was available to buy... would love to see more too. The Sonic Pocket Adventure was amazing. I definitely loved the little d-pad on the NGPC. The games might not be the same without it.

Maybe they’ll surprise us with an encore update, with the “game styles” and that extra spot left... but all of this is great... I’m excited.

@Octorok385 Hail! Thank you. (Horns up / metal fist) I hope we see it in the next Castlevania Collection. You play Dark Souls on Switch by chance?
