Just remember guys that this is still better than emulating the games, which is just immoral and wrong and not at all super easy to do even on suboptimal PC hardware.
I love Bubsy and I'm the first person to say the games suck. Bubsy 4D is the only one that might break the tradition, and I hope it isn't the last.
That said, in an era of litigious companies (Nintendo included, but not the only offender) fighting against game preservation, collections like this are a blessing.
@Suketoudara From what I remember, most of the music is the same. The biggest outlier is that the final boss theme for Panel de Pon is only used as Bowser's intro theme in Tetris Attack, and the "pinch" version of that theme goes unheard in our version.
Baby steps... but still welcome ones. Good job Nintendo!
I tried using the joy-con as a mouse the other day. Even with the dbrand grip, it was unpleasant. But still good in a pinch I suppose, or if your USB mouse has a short cord.
@PressTurn The option to swap two buttons is not the same thing. What if someone wants jump on ZL?
There are games from the 80s that let you remap buttons. Nintendo devs need to stop acting like there are universal schemes that are good for everyone just because Miyamoto likes it. Look how many decades it finally took Metroid Prime to have a proper control scheme.
Yeah I swapped it immediately AND I despise how Miyamoto and Nintendo in general don't understand that while it's okay to design a default mapping scheme, you should be LETTING PEOPLE REMAP BUTTONS, AND NOT JUST VIA OVERARCHING SYSTEM SETTINGS.
@StewdaMegaManNerd As badly as I want X9, I also want a good Bubsy game. Don't look at it as Bubsy getting something that X/Zero/Axl should've, look at it as Atari showing that if Bubsy can do it, anyone can.
@Fiergala Steam Deck uses AMD graphics and AMD has something like DLSS called FSR. So saying Switch 2 > Steam Deck because of DLSS is misleading at best.
My gripes with Champions of the Continent were the gacha system and the lack of English VAs. If Octopath Traveler 0 is indeed a consolized version of that experience without the gacha nonsense and English VAs (which it now definitely has), that's a win for me.
Unrealistic wishlist: Sonic Mania 2, Final Fantasy VI-2, Mega Man 12, Mega Man X9, Breath of Fire 7, Marvel vs. Capcom 2 Ultimate, Septerra Core 2: Corgan's Quest to Change Maya's Fate, Ogre Battle Anthology, NES Darkwing Duck Remastered, NES Batman Remastered.
"Increased the frequency of lap-type courses appearing in the selection when choosing the next course in 'VS Race' and wireless races." Wow, they actually listened.

It's a good ad, honestly, and playful fun. Anyone actually mad about it is a supreme clown.

Re: Opinion: I'm Celebrating Super Mario Bros.' 40th Anniversary By Finally Finishing It
You can do it. Just set aside an hour or two one day.
Use the warp zones if you want; it still counts as beating the game, let no one tell you otherwise.

Re: Virtual Boy Is Being Added To Nintendo Switch Online
Wow. They could've NOT required a ridiculous addon, but then they couldn't have milked more money.
Disgusting. Nintendo really is setting itself up for a Microsoft-esque fall from grace.
Re: Super Mario Galaxy 1 + 2 Prices Are Live, And It's Sticker Shock Time
Reminder that Expedition 33 is less expensive and more impressive.
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Direct September Predictions - What Do You Hope To See?

Re: Nintendo's Patent On 'Sub Characters' Could Have Some Dire Ramifications
Nintendo deserves to fall. Evil company, no different than their competitors or any other big corporation.
Re: Nintendo Direct Announced For Friday, 12th September 2025
Leaked by many, now confirmed. Among the leaks were those saying this is "the big one," which to me means a Metroid Prime 4 date...

Re: More Switch Games Have Received Switch 2 Compatibility Fixes
@SuperBro64 Same.
Re: Poll: Three Months In, How Would You Rate Switch 2's Library So Far?
Meh, in terms of Switcheroo exclusives. Bananza is amazing, MKW not so much, and... ports.
But there's plenty of 2025 left, and plenty of Switch 2 years left.

Re: ICYMI: Nintendo Highlights 'Super NES - Nintendo Classics' Features Update
@Suketoudara I forgot to mention the main title theme. You're right, TA's is a variant of Yoshi's Island's. EDIT - Also Yoshi's stage.
Re: Takashi Iizuka Explains Why Sonic Racing: CrossWorld's Guest Racers Stay Silent In-Game
I was already on the fence because of the price point, but this firmly puts it in the NO camp.

It's finally Bubsy's time.
Pay no heed to these doubter commenters. The bobcat rises.

@Slideaway1983 I will join you with a Black King Bar or something along those lines.
Re: Shinobi: Art Of Vengeance To Get Classic SEGA Villains Stage DLC Next Year
Sonic is the bigger threat, but Sonic won't kill Eggman. Joe Musashi WILL. Also I hope Dark Falz is one of the villains.

Re: Tekken 8 On Switch 2 Would Be "A Lot Of Work", But Director Isn't Ruling It Out
@Fiergala I didn't know that Bananza uses FSR. That seems... wrong.
Re: Tekken 8 On Switch 2 Would Be "A Lot Of Work", But Director Isn't Ruling It Out
@Fiergala For sure.
Re: Tekken 8 On Switch 2 Would Be "A Lot Of Work", But Director Isn't Ruling It Out
@kal_el_07241 I still like Switcheroo.
Re: Tekken 8 On Switch 2 Would Be "A Lot Of Work", But Director Isn't Ruling It Out
A lot of commenters here think that porting a game to less powerful hardware and making it run accurately and smoothly is an easy task.
Could a S2 version of Tekken 8 happen? Yes! A good version? Also yes! But it would be a lot of work.
Re: Tekken 8 On Switch 2 Would Be "A Lot Of Work", But Director Isn't Ruling It Out
@Fiergala Steam Deck uses AMD graphics and AMD has something like DLSS called FSR. So saying Switch 2 > Steam Deck because of DLSS is misleading at best.

IP law is stupid and everyone mad at either this or Palworld is delusional.
Re: Nintendo Won't Let Charity Speedrunning Event Use Its Games Without Permission, Because Of Course
But Nintendo is "less evil" than its competition, right guys? ... Guys?
And yes, I'm aware that the organization "just needs to ask," but even THAT is stupid.

Re: Opinion: Can We Stop Comparing Donkey Kong Bananza's Tactile Thrills To Odyssey Now?
Comparisons are fine. Odyssey never interested me, Bananza does, so Bananza > Odyssey. YMMV.

I'm interested.
