@sunny63 Nintendo prefers to make LEGO sets part of an interactive game. If you want a set that serves as a Way Past Cool collector's piece, LEGO Ideas has this Sonic the Hedgehog Green Hill Zone set that's been out for a few months, now. Buy two, and you can make alternate modules using instructions posted by Set designer Toastergrl.
It's proof positive that SEGA Does What Nintendon't!
It's really sad that this is happening. The way the world is, it makes me want to do some crazy things. Why can't we just have online retro stores that won't just price gouge you? I mean, DK Oldies is a good one. It's where my parents bought Banjo-Kazooie for me.
I have the PS4 Version, but is it worth trading in for the Switch Version? Also, will we ever see a Digimon Adventure RPG Localization for the Switch? They could remake it from the PSP Version, with the DigiDestined, the War Game portion, and even Tai and Agumon's adventure meeting OTHER Digimon Protags, like:
Well, I'll be playing Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition, to catch up on those Adventure Maps. I'm on the verge of clearing the Wind Waker Map! Also, I got a Bluetooth USB Adapter coming in from Amazon, so I can add Bluetooth to my laptop. This will be beneficial for my XBox Wireless Controller, so I can use it to play Mega Man X DiVE with, sparing me the trouble of using my Switch Pro Controller's USB Cable to connect it. it IS fickle.
No, and I never will, because Nintendo is a hot brand for scalpers to profit off of. You might as well say the controllers are an "eBay Exclusive," and buy from the jerks. I decided to back the Retro Fighters Bluetooth NSO N64 Controller, and when February comes, I'll be glad I did. But for now, I have my trusty Retro-Bit Tribute 64 Wireless controller.
I want to get these for my niece for Christmas, or her birthday, which is literally days before it. If I can't, I'll have to buy the cards on Etsy, preferably before Nintendo chooses to buy out Etsy in an attempt to do a cease-and-desist on unofficial amiibo productions. Sure, I did buy amiibo cards for her in the past, but I don't want to go down that route again.
They just PAID him to say it, to hype the populace. Lots of film companies do it. It's probably not gonna beat Sonic the Hedgehog as best video game movie.
@prismt Look. I can't even afford to even put money aside for the Steam Deck, or even upgrade to the PS5 or XBox Series X. I get that Nintendo wants to be the Bottom Rung of the Gaming Ladder, but the only thing keeping them in business is the Exclusive Rights to Nintendo Games. Otherwise, Nintendo would've gone to becoming a Third-Party Developer, forced to make games for XBox and PlayStation and PC, like how SEGA was, after the Dreamcast went bust!
@prismt Same. Despite having the PS4 Version of Forces, I might go for the Switch version of this game. With limitations on performance, though, this, somehow, seems right.
At this rate, we might get the new updated versions of games on the Genesis Mini 2, maybe even that Atlus Classic: Crusader of Centy, or Soleil for you Euro-Gamers.
I watched MadLittlePixel cover this, and I am intrigued. Since I lack the audacity to even be able to go for, let alone afford the Nintendo-Made Variety, AKA, the MORE-Money-cost varariety, due to scalpers, I'm going for this. It'll all be worth it, come February. I won't have to use my Tribute 64 2.4GHZ Wireless controller on it.
I got both on Friday. Besides, I'm all for variants. I wish I had P2 Bayonetta and Girl Corrin. Why is it that Cloud Strife, ROB, and Steve has to be the only Smash amiibo characters I have P2 Versions of? I have two versions of 8-Bit Mario, but Super Mario Maker 1 is practically useless, and I got the box signed by Charles Martinet.
I didn't play the third TMNT GameCube game, or even the GBA Games, but I did like the first two. I mean, the music of the Cowabunga Collection Menus is lifted from the Sewer Level of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2003, also made by Konami.
@Godlike_Virus Same here, except I'm gonna be playing Shredder's Revenge to get ready. I had recently unlocked Radical Mode for Splinter, truly making him into a Radical Rat!
I dunno. A game or two on the SNES Classic, a bit of Shredder's Revenge to prepare me for the Cowabunga Collection coming on Tuesday, maybe some Stranger of Paradise, to finish a bit of the main story.
Of course, I was kind of hoping for Dragon's Lair and Space Ace to be on the thing, but since it's better animated in HD, on modern consoles and Arcade1Up's Machine, it makes more sense that it DOESN'T be on there.
Great line-up, man. I wasn't expecting Crusader of Centy, or both Ecco the Dolphin SEGA CD Editions. I mean, we get to play the lost gems on there. or even an updated version of Space Harrier II from the first Mini! Too bad there won't be a Genesis Mini 3, modelled after the ALREADY miniature Model 3 Genesis, or modeled after the SEGA CDX, an All-in-One unit that plays both Genesis AND SEGA CD games, and is compatible with the 32X.
@Greatluigi I'm with you. We need Discotek Media to get the rights from Funimation, so the show can have a complete series box set. But Nintendo needs to make it happen. it can join the likes of Shaman King, Fighting Foodons, Dinosaur King and Sonic X as part of the 4Kids English Dub collection.
I'll pre-order them. But some of you don't understand. They do this in the order of the Fighters Pass #2 character releases. I just hope that for Sora, they don't make him a Timed Exclusive on shopdisney.com as part of the deal.
Look, i'm not a speculative mind, so I can stand to wait. I'm more concerned with saving up for TMNT: The Cowabunga Collection and the Genesis Mini 2, anyway.
I can think of two reasons why this won't be localized: Final Fantasy is more popular, and nobody's that willing to sink a lot of money into a Dragon Quest MMO. They'd no sooner celebrate Sephiroth in front of a wall of flames burning Nibilheim than see the Hero win.
I already downloaded Capcom Arcade 2nd Stadium. All I have to do is wait for the game to launch at 8:00 PM EST. It may be at the same time as Press Your Luck, but by the time the show is over, it'll be ready to play.
That is NOT the way to ommemorate the Anniversary of a game series! The one true way is to re-release the games that made the series famous on existing platforms. BRING THE PIXEL REMASTERS TO THE SWITCH! I don't wanna use my Tablet for this, nor do I want to save money for a newer gaming laptop just to play them on the TV!
Not surprised. It's terrible, and I thought Strong Bad's old Lappy was Environmentally Unfriendly. That thing sapped a lot of energy, and its battery causes forest fires, and whenever Strong Bad would hit the Enter Button, they would lose power. Come to think of it, why do I imagine Strong Bad doing this, just to be environmentally friendly, to spite Marzipan and Strong Sad more than just dropping a piano on their heads?
After almost getting sick from heat exhaustion last Friday, as a result of doing too much yard work for a neighbor of mine, I'll do that. And since it's a heatwave this week, I'm keeping my Build-A-Bear Isabelle nude, because I don't want to ruin her clothes with my sweat.
Too bad the female Pikachu doesn't have the black heart on the tip of its tail. It would've had the five outfits available, including fan-favorite Pikachu Libre.
@Sinton That's because it's a licensed game, based on a comic book series, that spawned a TV Show on CBS. We probably won't see the Willow Arcade Game, either.
@Xiovanni I don't even know who this Brandon is. Just as long as it's not a political joke. In which case, keep your Political views out of this!So America's Political system is not perfect? It,'s not like we need a Prime Minister running an American Parliament, because we do NOT want a Dictator just because we're too stupid to think for ourselves!
@locky-mavo And how would you improve on that for the Switch? I can't help but feel that the Post-Credits Scene might have been a hint of how it could've had DLC planned, involving Modern Metal Sonic, and playable Classic Tails and Classic Knuckles, with Shadow and Blaze for Modern stages. Might even throw in Tikal showing up to give the Sonics the power of the Super Emeralds.
Unless you wanna go with the Phantom Ruby cop-out that Classic Eggman uses to go back and kickstart the events of Sonic Mania, and by extension, Sonic Forces.
This is partially why I would rather buy the Capcom Arcade 2nd Stadium's $40 Pack than Sonic Origins. I honestly don't really need the games, since three of them are on my SEGA Genesis Mini. I just hope the Genesis 2 Mini makes it to America, so I can have Sonic CD on a stock emulator, instead of resorting to RetroArch on my Mini. I don't have the patience to learn the majority of the button combination shortcuts.
If GameStop shuts down, I'll have to be forced to pre-order games from Amazon. It's not even rewarding! I mean, sure, you can buy a gift card to load a balance onto it to pay for the game, but you don't get any bonuses. I mean, is the satisfaction of buying from an honest business the bonus you need and deserve? Probably.
And if you wanted to sell your game away, and you can't even drive to a mom-and-pop game store to do so, you're stuck having to get a bank account just to sell the game yourself on eBay! I can't even go through with that hassle! One, I lack the means to even secure a bank account, and two, I lack the patience to have my parents drive me to the post office, in the event that I DO ship my sellings to potential buyers!
