@abbyhitter dollars are used in Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, & like 20 other countries

@nukatha not enough media museums. There's my next venture. Now I just need an absurd amount of cash to get things started

Hmmm. $110k, or $20 a year with a bunch of other games included...

I know that's not the point, as this likely will never be played, which feels all the more wasteful. Maybe I just don't get it

@kimimi Thanks for writing this. I have no doubt you knew what many peoples' reaction would be, so thank you for taking the time to write it in spite of that.

@ATaco Zelda stars in 2 games on the Phillips CDi, I'll have you know. Everyone loved them and there is nothing more to say about them.

Gameplay looks fun, but visually (& I like 8 bit) this looks like a clone of too many recent titles to stand out.

@RushDawg as a counterpoint, I actually really liked other M.
I realize that I am the only person with this opinion, but I just figured I'd way in on it.

@Beaucine Well put 10/10 comment.

I've played Breath of the Wild which took me over 100 hours to beat and it was well worth $60.

I've played Resident Evil 2 Remake which took me about 8 hours to beat and it was well worth $60.

The length of a game is largely unrelated to how fun it is. And I imagine that just because RE2 was shorter than BotW, that doesn't mean a great deal of work didn't go into it or that the game isn't worth the cost.

Lot of Earthbound/Undertale-esque games on the horizon lately

@Sdelintwouters I quite liked Other M, but otherwise I agree

I wonder if previous Samus & Metroid amiibos do anything

I hope they keep making them. I really enjoy playing the Mario one, and I think they make really cool little collectors items.

@Silly_G I'll second this.

@Kidfunkadelic83 I asked for this. I wanted the game and watch. I hope they keep making them. They are in touch with my requests.

I was only looking for Zelda 1 & 2, Link's Awakening was a really neat surprise.

@Controller-Drift I'm actually pretty excited for this. Given how many times I'vd beaten the games (all of them) It's fun to have something a little different for a change

@Snow-Dust fusion says Metroid 4 when it boots up, I think other M is its own thing

Anybody know if they're available to read in Japanese, or is it English only?

@Kalmaro it is Pokemon. It will not.

@dew12333 I suppose it depends on the consumers. If a massive company does this and doesn't turn a profit, I imagine other companies will avoid this. It all depends on whether we as a consuner base continue to support these decisions

@dew12333 Say's who? The last ubisoft game I purchased was the wii release of Rayman Legends. Just stop buying their stuff.

I can only imagine the Switch and 3ds must basically be wacky waving inflatable flailing tube men without any of these updates.

@Whitestrider absolutely not. The flaws are what makes them special.

I had both these on CDi and would actually love to see a CDi collection on Switch, if only for nostalgias sake. I'd buy a collectors edition and everything. I loved these horrible games.

Throw in Hotel Mario & weird top down Zelda as a bonus. I will pay for this.

@Solomon_Rambling @OorWullie I mean no offense, as I know it's well loved and I'm sure for good reason, but I don't feel as though one should have to wait 15-20 hours to start enjoying a thing. My time is worth more than that.
A personal rule of mine is 3 hours of a game, or 3 episodes of a show. I feel like that's pretty generous still, but worth it out of courtesy of both those who worked on a thing and those who love it. Past that limit, I start to feel like either the developer isn't being considerate of the players/viewers time, or I just don't like the thing.

@sketchturner same. I've tried to play it 4 times or so because I was convinced I must be wrong, but I just don't like it.

Whelp. Don't want to buy it. Guess it's time to learn 日本語。でも、私は学ぶが大嫌いです。

@Rockman55 this should be getting more attention. The amount of people after your post that are still upset as though television rights aren't always all over the place on streaming services. The plug isn't getting pulled, it's just moving due to typical program reasons.

The move is even in the article, albeit a small mention (edit: I see now this was only after after Rockman brought it to light). I reckon people only read the headline which seems admittedly intentional in leading people down the angry path.

@Liam_Doolan the way you've written this including the "war on Mario" comment feels intentionally inflammatory.

The first one was great. Didn't care for the second as much

Feels like unrealistic expectations for developers (from all sides) are the biggest threat to the industry

Looks cool, but what's with marking the weirdest anniversaries? It's the 19th anniversary? 20th sure, but who cares about the 19th of anything other than their own marriage?

@NEStalgia Nah, I've played a number of soulsbourne and liked them all (except for Sekiro. It's too hard to be fun) I'd put this as puzzle platformer closer to Little Nightmares, but far more punishing

I know this style of gameplay is expected for G&G, but I'm curious as to whether the same score would be awarded for the same gameplay with a different title

Still dont like them as a company. I'll pass.

@Low_ink It's Zelda's 35th anniversary so probably

@Caryslan I'd love a full clay fighter remake on modern engines

I love the NES Mario 2, but had a hard time getting into 3D world for whatever reason. Maybe I'll give it another go someday, but for now I'll just appreciate the classics

@StevenG Choice or not, read that to your mum and ask her whether it comes across as condescending.

I can't vouch for the DLC so I'll just have to take your word for it. Too bad since the main game was a treat

@StevenG I only keep one save for most games as many players do. I also dont want to tempt myself to undo a decision.

It's poor design on their part, and I dont think it's unreasonable to ask for a patch letting me leave. Why try to start something with me by calling me stupid? Nice way to make friends.

@StevenG Unfortunately I dont have one. Having an ending isnt bad, but locking me in so I cant enjoy the dlc isnt great

General PSA that me and several XBox players realised far too late: keep extra saves before the last area

@Godzil No no no. More bad is better than less good. That's the message here.

Still mad that they never patched it. Stuck in the final area on XBox and can't play the expansion without starting the whole game over

As someone who works with stocks for a living, here's my hot take on the saga and everything related:

This is dumb. Stop it.

@Justaguest Haha, to answer a question I never answered before Dragon Quest IX is my favourite in the whole series. Unbelievably under-rated. I assume people just didnt like it as well since they pushed a numbered entry to handheld

@DjinnFighter I'm a firm believer of the rating scale "Is it fun?"
with a simple answer of Yes/No/Sort Of.
I mean sure, there's always room for a "10" if a game is truly exceptional. But usually I'm just looking for a fun time, and just because a game isn't objectively "good" that doesn't mean it isn't fun.

Basically, I agree with you about Contra.

@Severian I own it on XBox and wouldnt recommend

I played this when it originally released, it was okay but I'm surprised to see how popular it has become in its comeback

@Justaguest of the ones I've played (minish & galaxy) I agree completely. Minish feels more linear than even skyward sword, where can't progress unless you talk to juat the right person for no good reason. Galaxy I could never get into, and is somehow my least favourite 3D Mario.

3 cheers for making me feel less alone in my wrong opinions

The load times are okay on Series X, but were a train wreck on the XBox One. Anyone know whether the Switch loads any faster?

@Justaguest at least it's not just me, I guess. I assumed it was one of those things where I just found myself on the wrong side of opinions

Okami
Earthbound
Horace
Dragon Quest V (it's the worst one in the whole series, I just don't get it)

I feel bad that I don't like Horace.
