How I miss Nintendo Power. I remember waiting exited every two months to my magazine arrive from the states. And my wall full of Nintendo Power posters.
If I know that such copy could be sell for a couple of millions as have been done recently... I would pay enough to get a nice return after reselling it for mor than $500,000. Why are people are voting for so low prices?
It was that cheap becuase it was not reported that much on any news site.
Now, after this, and every other article, that piece of game history is going to be sell for many times more money.
Its going to sell for at least $50,000... In a couple of years, if not much more.
I still baffled why physical releases doesn't include a manual (or a little poster, map, etc)... it will add so much value to it. Ill buy so much less digital games. Miss them so much (except for the Capcom ones, those where awful!)
@Zach777 every "Bowser" that appear before level 8-4 are fake Bowsers, normal enemies disguised as Bowser, when killing them with fireballs they transform in their real selves.
@blindsquarel @blindsquarel
I would love a sequel to SMB2 (AKA SMB USA)... Its was a real fun game in its time, and its game mechanics haven being really repeated in any new game.
@kingbk kind of unfair reasons: shovelware had the NES and SnES too (and take a look the current eshop). The switch is underpowered too compared to contemporary consoles... Forced motion controls... Well the switch have many games with that same gimmic. Games as Mario Galaxy 1 and 2, Twilight Princess, Metroid Prime, Mario Kart, etc, etc where great.
@kingbk sure its your opinion, the thing is you dont provide any reason for why you think the wii was garbage? It had great games (surely surrounded by many, many bad games).
@kingbk Lol, Nintendo should be glad you are not part of their company. That awful console was an enormous success. It was a great console, innovatove and really fun. Many many awesome games.
@Dingelhopper its not artificial if someone is willing to pay for it and and the item is scarce enough... If you found an desirable item, you will sell it to the best price possible.
Switch sales are as strong as ever. I can only see little improvements (eg. more storage, better batteries) or even something like a "mini Switch Lite", a more portable version with a smaller screen (like a DS size).... There is no way for a Switch pro as a device with more processing/graphics power. They will keep that for their next gen console ("Switch U"? )... I can imagine that the next console will still be an hybrid, but with a dock with an extra graphic processor for next gen graphics while docked.
@MysticX I see what yo did by using a bold font on "anything".... Its a code for "A Nintendo Yoshi thing"... you are telling us that a new Yoshi island is coming to Switch! Awesome!
I dont know why didn't really like it back on the Wii... the only Zelda game I've played but didn't finished...
Not sure in giving it another chance now.
"I’m also darn sure it won’t be called the ‘Pro’; that’s the least 'Nintendo' name ever, yet everyone uses it!"... Is "pro" least Nintendo game? What's the name of that Nintendo produced game pad for the Switch?
I dont get why Nintendo dont produce a supercheap TV mode only Switch instead the other way around as the Lite. Get rid of the screen battery, etc, and sell it half the price. I bet millions of people (specially from underdeveloped countries) would buy it.
@Danrenfroe2016 That's mostly because nobody want to actually pay for a mobile game anymore. So in order to earn money (as everyone wants to) developers have to recur to other schemes.
I like Pac man 99... But I really miss Mario 35. One reason Is that I managed to get n°1 in Mario 35 many times, though I have only won once in Pacman 99
I love Dr. Mario franchise... sadly this is the only mobile Nintendo game not available in my Latin american country! Does anybody have an explanation for that?
@LinktotheFuture While I loved my NES manuals, you clearly dont remember Capcom NES games manuals. Those where awful.... bad translations and really bad drawings! Megaman, Ducktales, Bionic Commando... those manuals where the worst!
@victordamazio the game is the work of a company, not a perdon. The creator will not die. Just like movies, to be public domain you have to wait about 70 years. Nintendo is still sellong this game, and people are buying it.
@everynowandben What? Its a work form an amateur developer, made as a hobby, haven't been finished, and never released to the public, and wont will ever probably.... The article is kind of clear. Is not vaporware if not meant to be released.
