Might be the first Warriors style game I pick-up. It's great what they're doing with it story-wise and it looks like they're really putting love into it. I think they did do that with the 1st Zelda Warriors game, but it was the first of the Nintendo Warriors crossovers...it was just a lot of content from what I could see. This looks far more cohesive.
I never play smash online. I have it, but haven't touched the game even in a long time. Too many games. My multiplayer games are Splatoon 2 (runs just fine wireless), Mariokart (same), Mario 35 now (runs great)....I was playing some Dragon Ball FighterZ but it just takes forever. It was ok lag-wise, if I recall. I ended up getting it on PC because it's so much goddamn faster. Even my PC's wired connection blips out sometimes, so while I've considered going wired for my Switch, I don't care enough to yet, especially not for Smash lol. Even though Smash is awesome, I'm just not playing it atm. Plus I'm distracted with Among Us and Sea of Thieves.
and as for people talking about it being DLC...yeah well, I bought the DLC characters I want and left the ones I don't. I'll maybe buy them when I have spare cash kicking about.
Never played Minecraft, but I'd say it's a good character inclusion. I'm nigh in my 30s and just haven't tried it, weird people could think it's not a good idea though. Creative moveset and a HUGE game.
@JayJ Yeah, I fondly remember that time of like, 98-02...Need for Speed III: Hot Pursuit, Need For Speed Hot Pursuit 2, Motocross Madness, Midtown Madness...super fun PC racers at the time. Haven't played them since then though.
No interest. I tried AC Pocket Camp and it sucked. Mario Run was decently designed but also boring. Fire Emblem I tried a few times but it was crap compared to the real games which I have accessible on handhelds.
@Saemon Regional policies are definitely at play here. Brazil has huge taxes on imported electronics, they try to encourage everything made in country. You don't think of Brazil first when you think of chipset manufacturers, do you?
Say what ya'll will, but I still want those 3 games on a cartridge for my Switch. How many 'perfect' games were made in the 90s/00s totally glitch free, etc? Hardly any. The 3-pack is still a good deal to any adult with a job. Hopefully they patch out little inconsistencies like those grey cubes in Sunshine. If you aren't interested in the games, or are interested in emulating them at a higher frame rate, then do that and shhhh. Let me know when you hack it onto the Switch. I still like that stuff but I'm happy to buy this package.
Even with everyone rightfully talking about how good the Wii VC was... I don't care, I can play DKC2 on my switch now, and that is AMAZING. I have lots of ways to play lots of games...
@Anti-Matter I'd love to snag a GBA Lite again for that purpose. Love my New 3DSXL (Galaxy version) and GBA SP, but the DS Lite is really dasndy. It's also a great transfer machine for Pokemon.
I've only seen one in person, and that was over 10 years ago! I wish I'd gotten one, but I was just a teenager, and already had an SP. I recently re-purchased an SP, and made sure to get the AGS-101. I'll keep my eyeballs peeled to hopefully get a micro one day - judging by all the comments, everyone loves it. It's too bad how expensive GBA games have gotten in the past bit.
Huh, not my kind of music, but I'm surprised by the vitriol towards it. I thought it was going to be 'house' and 'techno' it that really generic, repetitive fashion. I mean, it sounds like boring 'ole Ed Sheeran to me. It's pop, and it sounds like good vibes. The rhythms within are more interesting than the truly average stuff. While I'm a little more out there and only really appreciate stuff like Flying Lotus, this is not as horrendous as all the critics here would like to think it is!
Hard disagree as well. In fact, I didn't quite get the appeal of All Stars when I was a kid, because I had an NES. I have been playing All Stars tons now. I love 16 bit graphics and music, so the reimaginings are really cool for me. I noticed the weird brick feel in SMB1 but didn't find it effected my flow at all. It's a gorgeous compilation. 9/10 for me. The backgrounds can be occasionally distracting but not really a big deal.
I'm guessing it will be paid DLC later. Not optimal, but I'm hoping for it. I'm assuming they just wanted to keep it trim and streamlined. I never played 2 as much as 1 but loved it. Tbh though I did like the hub in 1. It was cool.
@bigcalsworld Since childhood, I've seen one. It was a shiny Seaking in Pokemon Diamond, but it makes sense I saw it in Diamond, I put over 200 hours into it.
VI on the GBA kept my attention the longest, I'm slogging through VII currently. I still love the story but am not as big of a fan of the clunky PS1 graphics. still excited to get V on GBA at some point, and I have VIII, IX, X, X-2 and XII to play on Switch. I'll probably finish them as I lay dying in 60 years from now.
The moving screen is so cool. Pricey set, but not so bad compared to other major sets. I really want it, but now is NOT a good time in terms of $$$, ha.
@BrintaPap I'm in Canada and tracked down an SP AGS-101 for around $100...took a while to get one that wasn't scratched to hell, ha. They were truly the most pocket friendly gameboy (in my opinion), but kids took them everywhere and they have the scars to show it. There are some cool cheap GBA carts on Ebay, you just have to check the reviews to make sure it's good quality. I played an English fan translation of Mother 3 that way and it was awesome. $15 I think for the cart? There's also FF 4/5/6 carts with restored sound (SNES quality), and I want to get my hands on those. I obviously like having authentic, but I got a CIB copy of Metroid: Zero Mission...$100 was a good deal eyeroll. They have skyrocketed in price in the past 5 years. Same with GameCube games. I'm kind of stoked I live more rural now (but still a small city), because the bros here don't know the worth of their games as much. In the city everything just matches online going rates.
@BrintaPap I'm rocking my Switch/PC mostly rn, but I gave my sister the Wii U I stuffed full of VC goodness. Loved all the GBA games on there, pretty cool to have Golden Sun 1+2, Mario Golf Advance, Fire Emblem games...plus so much more!
@Electric-Dreams I own the Wii U game. As a 29 year old adult, $60 is not a death sentence, nor a slap to the face. It's a video game I have already played, so I can wait on purchasing it. I may purchase it when it is on sale. If you don't get a paycheque, then don't complain.
@SoManyHaveDied Along with that, they have unrealistic expectations. I already buy too many games and do not beat them. I am not amazing with my finances, and I am sure plenty of people are far worse. Or they are children, complaining. I started working as a kid so I could buy the games, books and music I wanted...I realized at 19 I was overextending myself on the media I was purchasing.
I have been saying for years that games are less expensive than ever. They haven't inflated like so many other things. Here in Canada, Kmart sold Dr. Mario for NES for $80. I remember some N64 games cranked up to $80 around 2000/2001. I recall during the GameCube Era, many games went down by $10 when the American and Canadian dollar were more at par.
@EVIL-C it's nice to see this point of view. I can understand why people were disappointed with Federation Force somewhat, but the co-op play did look pretty fun.

Re: PSA: Use A Wired Connection When Playing Smash Bros. Ultimate Online
