Good thing I got what I wanted. I still have a folding cloth storage basket from the Club Nintendo days, and use it for holding things. It has my Animal Crossing amiibo figures, and other Switch controllers. I even still have all my physical rewards from Club Nintendo, Smash 2-CD set, Majora's Mask Soundtrack, Mario Hat, Mario Pins, Mario and Friends figurine, and the Game & Watch Ball handheld.
Well, I'm glad I couldn't afford the upgrade, but did I have to waste money on a Tribute 64 Wireless controller? I'll just blow $25 on Happy Home Paradise, which should've been a full game, as well. Could've used Digby, unless he was a patsy in Lyle's scam.
Well, for those who don't have it, or the Super Scope, a Joy-Com will do, because not only is it light, but we can re-center the reticle with a button push.
@RupeeClock For me, I only have to pay for 3 Months remaining, at first, then I will pay for a full year of it. So a full year of service costs $30, and at 6 Months Remaining, it's $15, so I have to pay about $7.50. I just hope we get Prepaid Cards that let you pay for the NSO Expansion Pack.
I'll go for it. I got Retro-Bit Controllers to go with the service. Since there's really no N64 Classic Edition coming, this is the only modern way to play N64 games. As for Genesis, I got the Genesis Mini, so I'm kind of good.
I got them all. I got Piranha Plant for Free, like a lot of people, and the rest, I chose to go for the Fighters Passes. With the big titles that released on the Switch, I made the right choice to upgrade to a higher capacity Micro SDXC Card. I just wish I could remove the write protection from Windows 10, even though the Write Protection is off on the adapter for Micro SD Cards.
I just completed World of Light 100%, so I might start New Game + with Sora.
@NotoriousWhiz Achievements lead to ego boosts. If you get more, you get a swelled head. And Nintendo doesn't want to have sexual predators attract attention on the Voice chat. Remember, they're not a multimedia company, like Sony is, or like how Microsoft is.
And remember, music rights are what's keeping EarthBound, EarthBound Beginnings and Mother 3 from being released as a Limited Time Bundle with a Physical box and a Digital Code. They should just say it: EarthBound Collection, Featuring Ness and Lucas from Super Smash Bros.
Good thing I got my 2.4ghz Tribute 64 Controller. Maybe they'll release an update with the mapping to match the Official Switch controller. Or at the very least, a Bluetooth version with added Capture Button.
Who wants to bet that Retro-Bit Gaming will release a Switch Version of their popular Tribute 64 Controllers, with ZL and ZR Buttons, Home and Capture Buttons, and more?
I think the Chip Shortage is why Nintendo is doing this instead of making an N64 Classic Edition. How are you gonna put in the Rumble Pak and the Memory Pak into the controller without opening the door for it to be Hakchi'd, giving everyone a chance to add the games they WANTED, as long as it's within the boundaries of limitations?
I think with the trend of games from KOEI Tecmo and Atlus, I think the Genesis app could get a valuable game in the future: A little gem called Crusader of Centy, or Soleil. It's a Zelda clone where you team up with animals.
Oh, no. Here we go. Maybe we'll just see the Game Awards having the Final Smash Character Reveal, like last year with Sephiroth. I mean, we got Three more months after this one before the date for the final Smash Character, anyway. We might not even get a character reveal in this Direct.
Well, it's not like we'd be better off with Squidward Tentacles, or even Farkas "Bulk" Bulkmeier and Eugene "Skull" Skullovich! I might even settle for a guest appearance from Movie Sonic the Hedgehog! By extension, Nick is owned by Viacom, and Paramount has the rights to a series of Sonic the Hedgehog Movies. Movie Sonic would be perfect, since Smash has Game Sonic!
It's not like Nintendo wanted to do what AtGames does, and make MORE plug-n-plays with different sets of roms, and support for mappers that the NES Classic Edition, or any other System has. The Atari Flashback series lets you add Atari 2600 Roms with a thumb drive, and yet I don't even have the Flashback X.
If this weren't an online-only thing like Flareon is, now, I'd get it. After buying Taz and Tweety to go with my Bugs Bunny, I wish Build-A-Bear would release a Looney Tunes collection to expand on what was released to commemorate Space Jam: A New Legacy. Next time I go to Build-A-Bear Workshop with a Reward Certificate, and I get a Tune Squad uniform for Tweety, maybe they'll have Espeon.
Something tells me this will result in Nintendo cancelling the movie, if too much details are revealed before it hits. Remember what happened with other projects?
@Lordplops Maybe Mega Man, Roll, Proto Man, Auto, Dr. Light, Dr. Wily, Bass, Strike Man, and some other Robot Masters can join Sonic and company in the Olympics in the future, and instead of "Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games," We'd have "Mega Man & Sonic at the Olympic Games" from Capcom and SEGA!
But I think the main reason for Nintendo ducking out is because of the Pandemic. COVID-19 may be under control in America, but the new Delta Variant is causing a spike in cases, and may lead to people like me getting vaccinated again in the future.
@Mountain_Man And unlike LeBron James, Michael Jordan refused to star in another Space Jam, despite what the fans thought. And we weren't gonna get Wayne Knight as the chubby boy, Stan Podalak again.
@Toy_Link That kind of thing would be more for a Direct-To-Video thing, like Tweety's High-Flying Adventure, based on Looney Tunes and the Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries.
@cwbcpa71 In today's world, Gaming is supposedly a luxury for the rich. If you're not rich like their "Glorious leader," Donald Trump, then what are you gonna do? Nothing, just work and work and work into your graves, and by the time you're able to afford a PS5 or an XBox Series X, the PS6 will be out, as will the XBox Successor System!
At this point, you're better off playing with a ball in a cup, because you're so poor that's all you can afford, really.
Maybe Nintendo should adapt to the analog stick technology of the past, but that would require bulking up the Joy Cons. They'd have to redesign it from the ground up, remove the flawed components, and design a new frame to hold it all in. I mean, why do you think people prefer Microsoft and Sony over Nintendo, to a point of buying Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5 from Scalpers? I mean, Xbox has Halo and Rare, while PlayStation has Ratchet & Clank!
@sdelfin It's because Nintendo is a big name, even BIGGER than SEGA is right now! Meanwhile in America, I have yet to see any listings of an OLED Switch on eBay.
@VoidofLight Watch, these scalpers will amass more money than Nintendo, because of the "How Bad Do You Want Em" approach, and when they do, they will buy out Nintendo, and jack up the prices on everything, and make Nintendo produce higher-quality systems for the wealthy, while we poor folks are stuck kicking a can, or playing with a ball in a cup, Mexico's favorite toy for over 300 years! AND DURING A CHIP SHORTAGE, NO LESS! Why do you think Trump wanted to encourage people to kill off the wolves? So the price of Furs could jack up, and the Furriers can be among the wealthiest!
At the rate scalpers are going, people are gonna go BACKWARDS in playing games, and start going towards the Atari 2600's Direction for New Games. In fact, I might consider buying E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial for the Atari 2600, if it weren't so bad! It would mean the Future IS the Past! Why do you think Sony chose to keep the PS3's PlayStation Store open, huh?
But frankly, the only actual improvement I can see of this thing is the 64GB Storage as opposed to the 32GB Storage.
@echoplex It did, on what used to be known at the time as Fox Family Channel (later known as ABC Family, and now FreeForm) To this day, the only way you could watch it for free is either on IMDB TV on Amazon Prime Video or on the FilmRise Free Movies & TV App on the Roku. King K. Rool's Deviousness and his majestic singing voice are reasons enough for me to main him on Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. I need not tell you that it was how I won second place in a tournament on Free Video Game Day.
As for voices, I think that is impossible, because Aaron Tager, the voice of Cranky Kong, died a few years ago.
@PBandSmelly I think you mean "All Fool's Day" Joke, like in that "Just Kidding" episode. It isn't an official All Fool's Day Prank until someone says "Well, I'll be a monkey's uncle."
But Nintendo's the guys trying to push for this thing, so don't get your hopes up or down, Remember such hits as the Kid Icarus shorts and Star Fox Zero: The Adventure Begins.
I'm only getting the basic Skyward Sword HD Game, this month. I was too slow in getting the Skyward Sword Joy-Cons, and I had to save $15 by buying an amiibo Card from Etsy. I am not now, nor have I ever been Sonic the Hedgehog, but I DID pre-order Sonic Colors Ultimate, so I will pay for that after the Encyclo-Speed-Ia Deluxe Edition!
@PBandSmelly He'd be too strong, and he would have to use the Dragon Balls to have Shenron balance things out. Because not everyone can beat the villains Goku went up against. Besides, I don't think it would work. This isn't neither Super Smash Flash, OR Smash Bros. LAWL. And besides, doesn't Smash have a 3-reps-per-company rule they don't like to bring up?
Konami - Snake, Simon and Richter
SEGA - Sonic, Bayonetta and Joker
Square Enix - Cloud, Hero and Sephiroth
Capcom - Mega Man, Ryu and Ken
Bandai Namco is fortunate enough to just have Pac-Man and Kazuya.
And Microsoft has Banjo & Kazooie and Steve.
