C is for Cookie, that's good enough for me.

It's kinda like Mario Party:

The team at Hudson later continued development at ND Cube.
(no derailing the discussion to argue about the radical departure from 8 to 9 onwards)

Or in Yooka-Laylee's case were a bunch of ex-Rare (mostly Banjo) staff left to form Playtonic.

The team at AlphaDream, later worked for Nintendo internally.

@Azami likely because of the partnership with PANDA Global at the time, as well as the general disgust surrounding competive Smash and EVO in general post-2020. (you know, the scandals that came out about abuse and the like) That's also in addition to Tournaments playing a game of tug o' war with Nintendo over the use of mods and emulators with Melee (AKA The Big House 2020 and SaveMelee)

Recently the GM of EVO has praised Nintendo's new licensing program, so maybe there's a sliver of a chance Ultimate might make a comeback in 2025.

I just binged through Jauwn's ENTIRE series reviewing Crypto Games. TWICE.

Rest In Pieces GME NFTs, not even the drunken apes of the MOASS subreddit could save you.

I’m going to be shocked if it is indeed possible that Gotham Knights got optimized to heck and back on Switch.

@anoyonmus’s claims check out about this NOT being a cloud release. This might also contain all the DLC as well; because the same listing also states the following:

“In-Game Purchases (PC, Xbox Series, PlayStation 5)”

@Serpenterror I'm talking about in the context of it being a multi-platform release. (Oh, and the SEGA Genesis Classics collection has awful input lag)

I feel like they should of done more with this, perhaps will see this added to an "Sonic Origins Ultimate" (hypothetically)

• Sonic Spinball (Genesis)
• Sonic 3D Blast (Genesis/Saturn)
• Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine (Genesis)
• Sonic Championship/The Fighters (Arcade)
• SegaSonic The Hedgehog (Arcade)
• Knuckles Chaotix (Genesis 32X)
• Playable Mighty The Armadillo, Ray The Flying Squirrel, Vector The Crocodile, Espio The Chamilion, Charmy Bee, and Metal Sonic in addition to Amy
• The Entirety of Sonic Mania Plus

What I hope for this service:

• TurboGrafx-16/PC Engine - Nintendo Switch Online for Expansion Pack subscribers
• includes DLC for TETRIS 99, Luigi’s Mansion 3, PAC-MAN 99, and Splatoon 3
• Game Boy | Game Boy Color - Nintendo Switch Online for Base NSO subscribers
• Game Boy Advance - Nintendo Switch Online
  for Base NSO subscribers
• Nintendo GameCube - Nintendo Switch Online for Expansion Pack subscribers

would leave a list of games: but that made this too long to be posted all at once; so I opted for a Twitlonger instead:

Every Tech enthusiast and their grandma has been saying some form of “a Switch revision with more power for more demanding games will be coming Next Year” for the last 4 years and 100M+ units later. I’m telling you, we have 5 more years left, wether you like it or not; that’s the fact.

@HerMajestysmyPronoun, DKC on Super NES is already on NSO.

Donkey Kong 64 on the other hand:

Tour Sydney Sprint, Tour New York Minute & N64 Kalamari Desert are the standouts to me in terms of how they utilized their layouts.

GBA Snow Land is a good track to bring back.

Mario Circuit 3 is OK.

Sky High Sundae is fine, at least it used Anti-Gravity.

Wii Mushroom Gorge does nothing new.

DS Waluigi Pinball not only breaks tradition of not reusing music from DS Wario Stadium, but fails to utilize anti-gravity to add to the chaos, thus is the worst of the bunch and is totally overrated.

Sydney Sprint is the best.

So help me if Sonic The Hedgehog Pocket Adventure isn’t in thus one.

If Nintendo REALLY wants to ride out the console’s lifetime, It have to be into Spring 2027; putting us at a full 10 years, lining up with the company’s goal of going beyond the usual 7 to 8 year shelf life, and might also make sense realistically in a world in the middle of a pandemic-induced, semi conductor and supply shortage.

Tried to protect a piece of pixel art based on SMG4.

(Also known as the guy running GLITCH Productions, the studio behind that fairly popular Murder Drones Pilot, but is most well known for, and is still making videos about the extremely meme-ridden adventures of an extremely stupid, cross-eyed Mario that REALLY LIKES Spaghetti)

I kinda need to share this article by Seafoam Gaming about the death of the Virtual Console as we knew it

https://seafoamgaming.com/2021/10/19/virtual-chronicle-the-death-of-piecemeal-and-the-rise-of-retro-compilations/

Simply put; it was also a dripfeed, only it’s a dripfeed that is made up of multiple piecemeal purchases, back when third parties didn’t realize the profit that came from compilations and their own standalone eShop releases. Heck, you can thank SEGA for the $50 annual price for the Expansion Pack, considering they weren’t satisfied with their own investment in Virtual Console on Wii & 3DS.

Fundamentally speaking; I think NSO (Expansion Pack and all) is a overall better value, considering games like Banjo-Kazooie, Star Fox, and Stunt Race FX are all now available to a wider Nintendo audience. Not to mention there’s at least an effort to make these games more readily available.

I’m just waiting for Sonic Pocket Adventure to show up out of nowhere here…

@JonComms would agree with me on that.

Let me get this out of the way @KateGray, Universal acquired Dreamworks in 2018, this is about ViacomCBS, why include Shrek in the title?

SUPER MARIO ON THE PS4.

YYYYYYYYAAAAAHHHHHOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

(That was a meme)

I think the original has more charm and style.

@Jersa7Darkangel, I mean for the next Smash.

This is why Crash, Spyro, Overwatch character, etc. will never come to Smash

I hardly got into Pokémon Red, Blue, Yellow, X, Y, Moon, Let’s Go Pikachu, Let’s Go Eevee, Sword & Shield because of RPGs in general with me.

Now it’s difficult to go into, and play Pokémon more than ever because fans constantly an aneurism because expectations for said game weren’t met when a new game is announced.

Even back then; I knew dexxit was overblown.

I insert a quote from Lockstin about “ Suck and Mega Suck” but I forget what is was exactly…

That’s one less streaming platform that needs to be harassed. Just need to harass HBO Max, Paramount Plus, Disney+, Netflix, and Amazon Prime Video.

I give it 6 years tops before they start talking about 20XX.

I suppose in Nintendo’s eyes, North Americans hate robust physical goods.

Karnov from Karnov. Yes, Karnov of Karnov’s Revenge. The same Karnov that appears in Bad Dudes’s 1st Stage. The same Karnov that cameos in many Data East games post 1987, & is owned by the former employees who later founded PAON, that later made DK Barrel Blast on Wii.

Karnov is for all intensive purposes; a deep cut pick. Which Smash needs more of.

I said it before; but I never been unable to unsee it since 2011.

Already bought DeBlob 1 & 2, and Legend of Kay: Anniversary for $30 USD.

I highly doubt it.

Many people boasted the Switch Lite’s introduction would dock (no pun intended) the price by $50. 2 years had passed and it still hasn’t budged.

I learned to get around the HOME Menu with 600 games; Simple Solid color themes is all I’m asking for.

Maybe folders.

Why must they keep teasing me and @JonComms like this and NOT put Hatsune Miku in a Ball already.

I’m seriously considering buying 39 copies of this game if it happens.

I have a strong feeling it’s gonna be Hatsune Miku. Not only does @JonComms agree with me on that, but August 31st is the character’s 14th anniversary, and while not SEGA-owned, she’s treated like it. So why not make Miku run in a ball collecting spring onions?

Funny thing was, that I caved in last month and bought a Japanese digital copy, then it was updated later to include the extra games, signaling the game’s long overdue western release.

@PJOReilly, my bad, I mean’t to say @scully1888.

Now we just need a Scottish translation for @PJOReilly. (My mistake; I mean’t @scully1888)

As I told Joe from Game Sack not very long ago:

“sorry, F-Zero but HD with online, isn’t enough to warrant F-Zero, but HD with online”.

I think the pattern with Slayer, Crash, & Master Chief is that there’s momentum for them; developers say ‘we would be honored/like this to happen’, and NOTHING HAPPENS. I’ll wait until the next game (if there is one) before hyping them up again.

I think this is anti-consumer given the scarcity of these releases, made worst by not being available in the eShop.

Many people were adamant on a playable Tails, but it was clear to me well before the article that Tails was this game’s response to Crash 4’s Modern Mode.

Nintendo Switch +.

It’s either going to be called ‘Nintendo Switch Premium’ or ‘Nintendo Switch +’

To @redpanda0310, I was fed up with these rumors circa 2018.

@Papichulo, Capcom already released the Mega Man games via the Legacy collections, Sonic & Bonk aren’t even on the SNES, Konami already released Castlevania Anniversary collection, and it’s only a matter of time before Square-Enix rereleases the older Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest games in a overpriced manner.

It isn’t Nintendo’s memory that’s at fault. Blame that on licensing and license holders finding supposedly better offers.

@Toy_Link, what those 20 games would be and how frequently games for that platform are added is something to think about.

@The-Nate with the NES app, you could also use the X button for B

@Ghost_of_Hasashi, Square Enix is likely to rerelease those RPGs themselves. Like how Capcom refused any Mega Man games on NSO in favor of the Legacy Collections, Konami with Castlevania, Bandai Namco with stuff like NES PAC-MAN even.

@TossedLlama, I doubt it.

The first thing that came to mind when I saw Spanky’s Quest was The Completionist:
