Those are all good moments, but nothing could top the comedy of "The Wrong Bowser" where Bowser appeared alongside Doug Bowser, the then-CEO of Nintendo of America. It was in the same Direct that gave us Hero from Dragon Quest XI,III, IV and VIII, and Banjo and Kazooie in Smash Ultimate's Fighters Pass 1.

@OwenGamer22 I think so, but what makes you think that Horii won't use AI for Dragon Quest XII?

And this is why people prefer Final Fantasy over Dragon Quest... Why else are Cloud Strife and Sephiroth OR Tifa Lockhart gonna be racing with Sonic the Hedgehog in Sonic Racing Crossworlds?

LIke I said, I'll keep my Switch 1 Edition, because that's gonna go for big money, since it's out of print! I won't sell it, though. I might consider buying an unnecessary add-on for it, like a custom spine for the game on Etsy, or custom sleeve to put OVER the case, and treat it with love like one of SpongeBob's perfect Krabby Patties.

@OneBradley13 Miis are not back, because Miis never left.

Bargain bin fodder for late adopters of the Switch and Switch 2! I have all of those games, just not on the Switch, in the cases of Sonic Forces or Frontiers.

Here's what I'm expecting:

• Ocarina of Time Remake Details
• Movie Details, maybe a trailer
• Event Announcement: Symphony of the Goddesses Tour
• New Merchandise Drops
• the obligatory NSO Drop
• Me avoiding the YouTube chat being flooded with people telling Sony to go back on their stance against physical media, and watching the thing on the TV.

I hope updates for Pikmin 1 & 2 follow,. I would love to play the games with GameCube Controller support.

Already traded my Switch 1 Copy in after clearing it.

I'm gonna make an Alternate Box Art that doesn't use AI, just stock images from the original four games!

This must be what LEGO Sonic had to be sacrificed for. I wonder if a LEGO DK collection would work. Maybe a King K. Rool with his King of Rot transformation?

I just finished the Challenge! had to rely on YouTube Videos to assist me. That and Assist Mode for the Rehearsal Challenge!

@BAN I am not a Republican Trump supporter who is okay with paying more to reduce the quantity of my spending habits. I am against Trump, and I ask for the mods to close the comments section on this article before this gets even worse!

@LinktotheFuture Funny, I'm hoping for a Donkey Kong Country one, myself.

@Dee123 Because they're afraid of what he'd do if we do. He would put a target on the back of the person that does. Oh, sure, we WANT to stand up to him, but we want to actually LIVE to see the world change without his influence!

@HammerGalladeBro Yes.

I stopped at the beginning of the Cars season, when it got too expensive for me. I didn't know that Modern Pete would join.

@FlamingBird To be fair, I think Nintendo wants the Switch 2 to be a dedicated gaming machine, not a streaming machine. Why use that to watch 4K Movies on YouTube when a reasonably priced Tablet will do you just fine?

@HammerGalladeBro Watch SEGA try to weasel a deal with Nintendo to put them on NSO!

@Smithicus I won't buy it. It's just some 3-Game Multi-Cards. My Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster set has Twice the Game Count!

Just another budget repackaging effort. No shared Collection menus with bonus content. Hard Pass on both, since I have all three classic games on physical, anyway.

"General System Stability" is code for two things: making sure certain games don't crash on you, and the company fighting hackers for another update.

Better start learning to swap Micro SD Express Cards, then.

@8bit-Man Calling it, now: The next mainline Super Mario game will be a remake of Super Mario 64, with Luigi, Yoshi and Wario added. I mean, it makes perfect sense if we hear Kevin Afghani utter those four famous words: (N64 Coin) "It's-A-Me, Mario!"

@HammerGalladeBro it was the only other Pixar game at the time.

Can they properly emulate saving with Memory Cards, something the Gex Trilogy couldn't do?

@SplatRay001 Probably not. It's a similar case to Sonic X Shadow Generations, if it means that.

@AGuyWhoLikesNintendo Pretty much. It means someone can make a LEGO Mario & Sonic At the Olympic Games MOC.

Maybe we can see Mega Man Legends 1, 2, and the Misadventures of Tron Bonne on Console Archives if Capcom won't acknowledge Mega Man Legends. That series is the only thing left for a Legacy Collection!

It's either amiibo support or microtransactions for unlocking things the easy way. This is fortunate, because I still have my Fox, Falco and Wolf amiibos.

So, what form of piracy is being thwarted by THIS update?

It could go three ways: Retaining the original, or...

doing the line with system-specific lines:
"Huh? Oh, wait! We're on Nintendo Switch. It's a Game Card, additional data downloaded, too — No need to swap."
"Huh? Oh, wait! We're on Nintendo Switch 2. It's a Game-Key Card, Fully downloaded, too — No need to swap."

Or going generic:
"Huh? Oh, wait! We're on Next-Gen Hardware. It's on a single game card or disc, Fully installed, too — No need to swap."

@Samalik Oh, they're not involved. So, your perfect games are made with love, not additional swag. Ask Neptune who learned the hard way about Krabby Patties.

Why does this resemble something from Build-A-Bear Workshop?

@Dev-N What about Zebra Bananza, Ostrich Bananza, Snake Bananza and Elephant Bananza?

@Dev-N I just recently unlocked that layer, and almost got an A-Rank, thanks to not only getting all five Bananzas, but also bashing so many Peekaboopoids. I wonder if we'll see Tiny Kong in Statue Form, and how cute/sexy she's grown, along with Candy Kong in Statue Form.

Sticks the Badger said it best about "Blast Processing Technology, " and it applies to System Stability Updates as well. Those are just phony-baloney buzzwords meant to fool the simple-minded, only to cover up the fact that the Switch and Switch 2 can be modded and hacked, and that these patches make it impossible to hack!

I wonder if Satan has any new lines for these.

I never really bought the Remakes of Superstar Saga and Bowser's Inside Story. But then, how would you remake Partners in Time with a new Bonus Campaign starring Baby Bowser or Kamek? Make it play like Bowser's Minions/Bowser Jr's Journey?

I don't know if anyone wants to take hearing Baby Peach crying again.

@Pillowpants To be fair, I think the events will repeat after a year.

I'm not one of those complainers, but I have to ask: After the statues of Chunky and Lanky, who else will there be? Candy Kong? Zebra Bananza? Ostrich Bananza? Expresso the Ostrich? Snake Bananza? Rattly the Rattlesnake? Elephant Bananza, perhaps? Maybe a statue of Funky Kong?

I'm getting the Upgrade Pack. I loved Tulin in Tears of the Kingdom, and that cute little jock will look nice on the snowy island., come January.

@TheExile285 Nope. Makes me glad I was able to 100% the Main Game beforehand, back when I had a Switch 1. but I have a feeling that next year, like Super Mario Bros. Wonder, Pikmin 4 will get a Switch 2 Edition with new content similar ito either Pikmin 2 or 3, where we actually get to see Alph, Brittany and Charlie in the game, and help them replenish the food supply.

Even though I'm an American, I have the European Version of Final Fantasy VII & VIII Remastered. Do I need to buy the US Version?

I went Physical to make up for missing out on 3D All-Stars, but at least I was able to save 5 bucks on it with the GameStop Pro Program. My dad thinks that $65 is a decent price for TWO Games.

For the same price, but less after trading things in, I was able to get the Switch 2 with Donkey Kong Bananza, Pre-Owned, but in great condition. Totally worth it!

No amiibo support. I already bought an EasySMX S10 Controller! I read great things about that, and used the Promo Code and the Coupon to save on it!

@ShadLink If that were true, then if she were in Mario Tennis Fever, Pauline would turn into Teen Pauline while the rest of the gang, save for DK, would be turned into babies. Because we're not gonna have a Baby Pauline anytime soon.

I think we all missed the point of this: The Shell and Cardboard Equivalent are only required to emulate the Stereoscopic 3D Effect. You CAN play it without that, but you'll just miss out on the 3D, because the Switch 2 can't give you "3D without Glasses" like the 3DS could.

@Waluigi451 At least it'll serve as a grim reminder of one of the worst systems ever made.
