All these games make sense, but for me the biggest omission is Tetris Attack. Would also love Kirby's Dream Land, Kirby's Avalanche, and Zombies Ate My Neighbors
I got one all thanks to the Amazon Treasure Truck! They sent me a text yesterday and I placed my order without any trouble and picked it up later in the day.
Shout out to Body Harvest, a really great N64 game developed by the company that would become Rockstar North Ltd, and which includes some very GTA-like mechanics. I see that these were intentionally left out, but I'm glad to see that this and other games from DMA Design have not been forgotten by other commenters.
My only hope is that Nintendo realizes that they have lightning in a bottle and devote more resources to making this continually available throughout the year. They didn't know that the NES Mini would be so successful, but now they should realize how much of their production should be devoted to these retro minis. Maybe they need to expand that side of the business, who knows - it's obvious that they would make the profit back to cover this. I'm not exactly optimistic though.
This was so frustrating. I heard that at 1 PM ET Wal-Mart would open pre orders, so I got all my address and billing info saved on the site and refreshed repeatedly from 12:55 PM til they went live. I was nearly as fast as I could have possibly been in ordering one - and yet by the time I clicked the button to finalize the purchase, it was sold out. I wouldn't say that even a minute had passed.
He was a great man. His death will always remind me of my mom's, too. Mom died on 7/13/15 and I was at Iwata's memorial in Nintendo NY when I got the call. Play video games and cherish your loved ones!
I just beat this game tonight! 2 hours is about right for how long it would take you, but what it lacks in gameplay time it makes up for in humor and personality.
The Rabbids game looks very good. BG+E2 looks great, hopefully it's coming to Switch. And, I know it's not a popular opinion, but I am 100% buying Monopoly.
I like that the classic games will now feature online. Iirc when they first announced it, you'd have access to one classic game a month, then it'd be gone. Now it's an ongoing compilation. This, I can get into.
The only glitch I've gotten wasn't so helpful. I was in the northwest maze when the blood moon came. When it came back to me, I couldn't see anything but I was taking damage fast. I realized that the red sticky stuff with the eyes had spawned all around and on top of me after jumping and trying to move around. More jumping and Link suddenly was holding onto an edge that wasn't there before, and then I fell - through the bottom of the world, with the maze above me. I glided down and snapped a few trippy photos before I died. I respawned and all was ok.
