HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....
And FIRST!

Let them know I thought the Battle System in FFXVI was pants. Also said we needed a full-on remake of FFV (FFVII: REMAKE/REBIRTH style!) and a 2D-HD remake of CHRONO TRIGGER.

TBH, the title of this article threw me off. SURELY they couldn't be talking about Wii-darling MURAMASA???

I'm a tacky gaijin so Western all the way!

The REAL game awards.

It HAS gotten better. I jump in here and there, but the severs are dead. Only good for local MP or single player at this point. It's too bad, too, because Conquest in BF2 has always been fantastic.

This and Factor 5's ROGUE SQUADRON collection for Wii are the two hardest cancelations for me to grapple with. Both would have sold crazy. AND both teams had a history of getting the most out of The Big N's hardware. I mean Free Radical was made up of many ex-Rare folks from the N64 days. All of the footage from BF3 looked phenomenal; no matter the platform. Such a sad state and it's only gotten worse for developers in the years since.

Holding off until my Limited Run copy comes in February. Hope it includes these updates on the cartridge!

@BrianJL
I really liked the 2017(?) reboot (except for the finale). The characterization were solid. Wish they got a sequel with Tommy!

I was 10/11 when POWER RANGERS released in the States, so was just out of the intended demo.
However, I did watch the Green Ranger Saga and love Tommy. Sooooo.... I guessss.....
IT'S MORPHIN' TIME!!!!

@Clyde_Radcliffe
Give me TETRISPHERE!!!!!!

I forgot how 'sticky' the pieces were in the NES version. #Old-SchoolChallenge

I think this is legit and I am fine with just a more powerful Switch with a larger screen. I would love if you could stream the image from handheld to the dock so we could bring back Nintendoland and other WiiU only gameplay ideas.

Saw a STEAM trailer for this over the Summer. Very glad this is coming to Switch. Hope it turns out okay.

Christmas Day. Or Boxing Day as it's a Thursday, lol.

Have had it digitally for as long as I can remember. This is the push to track down a physical copy for preservation purposes.

This is the one I have been waiting for! I love the original Dreamcast version of Capcom Vs. SNK and 2 on the GCN was pretty great too. The fact that both POWER STONE games are on this collection just cements it as an excellent 2000s era collection.

@Axecon
Need. These. Now.

Nintendo will have a big SWITCH 2 reveal event in January. Announcing a Spring/Summer 2025 release with a new 3D Mario title launching alongside it. Maybe we will get a MP4 Direct soon with a release date.

@VoodooTrumpet
Instantly started playing in my head when I read your comment.

Reading recently that the concept for CROC was originally a pitch by Argonaut Software to Nintendo for a 3D Yoshi game has me interested in picking it up. Always read good things about it, but never played it myself.

Not for that price. This game should have been $39 to $49 USD max. They are looking to grab people that did not play it the first time around. Guess I will just play the myriad of other platformers available.

I would love 3D to make a return. Especially with the system being able to push 1080p, we could get some really great ports.

I am thinking these would be announced to come out later in the year. Really depends on when MP4 releases as they may want to release them to build up hype or save them for more OG Switch releases into late '25 or early '26. Easy support for the installed user-base.

Just picked up my physical copy of MVC: FIGHTING COLLECTION on Switch. I held out from buying it digitally!!!! LOL. I will definitely be taking this with me to the on-laws' house for Thanksgiving!

The DS Lite might be the nicest looking handheld ever designed.

The NA covers for DOUBLE DRAGON I & II are some of my favorites of all time. But, honestly, this cover is the one that always pops in my head first when I think about the franchise. NA / EU FTW!!!

Just tried out VICE CITY and, while I understand what Grove Street Games was trying for, the Classic Lighting is pretty nice. Combat feels better too.

Very interesting cross-branding on this one. I am interested to see what else Sony starts doing with their properties on Switch.

There are always new reasons for me to jump back into this game. If I pick it up for a run I always get re-hooked! Can't wait for the promised expansions. This was my most played game of the Summer.

@Tasuki
Before the Wii era it was the norm for them to cut console pricing. NES, SNES, N64, and GCN all got price cuts near the end of their life cycles.

If the Switch 2 hits a $399.00 USD price point, then Nintendo could keep selling the OG at the original price. I can see MAYBE a $50.00 USD price cut across the board once the new system releases. Switch Lite: $150.00 USD, Switch: $250.00 USD, Switch OLED: $300.00, Switch2 (LCD screen): $400.00, Switch2 OLED: $480.00 USD (adjusted for inflation, lol as it won't release until 2027).

@drypaphmrbro
I NEEDS IT..... on cartridge... 😉

I may just have to brave that 69 gig download again... Or is it TWICE that now? Thinking it's the latter. I might jump back in, but honestly I'm more excited to play MARVEL RIVALS when it releases on PS5 early next month.

I have over 600 Switch titles. I hope the majority of them (3/4 are digital) will be playable with upgraded performance. That would be fantastic.

Been playing for the last two days and it's brilliant. The music, the characters, the amazing map of Dracula's castle do discover. My only question I've been going back and forth on.... to Arcane or not to Arcane.

My Limited Run physical copy of TUROK 3 finally came, so I've been rocking that. Finished my first playthrough this morning. Also will be playing RetroRealms HALLOWEEN and EVIL DEAD since my physical copy for that came the same day as well. 'Tis the Season!

Well okay, then.

I love this game. It's my favorite of the Xenoblade Chronicles titles. If I can swing it, then Day One.

Pretty neat way to leverage their IP and amazing catalogue of music. I feel like between this and the Xenoblade Chronicles X announcement there was supposed to be another Nintendo Direct, but perhaps they are drip feeding Switch announcements before a proper Switch 2 reveal sooner than originally intended. #WishfulThinking

Not until Devil's Third, Windward HD, and Twilight Princess HD release.

YES!!!!! MY FAVORITE!!!!

I just got my Turok 3 from Limited Run and was playing 2 this weekend, but I do dig me some SHADOW MAN. Of course why WOULDN'T I just buy the Nightdive remaster? I will say, though, I really dig the grindhouse-style trailer NOA put together!

@Bydlak
I was just thinking the same thing...

@Solomon_Rambling
We need KILLER 7. That was the game that pulled me into Suda's work.

I just remembered that there were, I believe, DK and Bowser Skylanders/Amiibo figures you could use with the Skylanders game. This must have been Vicarious Vision's test run with the character to show they understood the feel of the character and series.

I've also been really wanting a new 3D DK game for the past few years. I've followed Vicarious Visions ever since their amazing Tony Hawk ports for the GBA and think they could have done something really fun. However, I think a 3D DK game would be better suited to the Kirby and the Forgotten Land style of open stages, not open world. I would really dig that.

I got up early for the reveal (7:00 am PST). Was sitting on our loveseat in the living room; all the lights off and just let it wash over me. When the kids got up I promptly showed them and we must have watched the trailer 5 to 10 times before we we were off to work/school. So much wonder and anticipation.

@FishyS
The event held in January 2017 was where it was at. That was amazing.
I liked this trailer for what it was "The NX (cross) is the promise of us combining our handheld and console divisions both software and hardware wise in order to output great products while continuing the core concept of the WiiU; game with friends on the TV or on the couch."
