Both versions of Shadow Dragon, though I think I'll stick with the DS remake from here on out due to the MUCH faster pace (the original is still really good otherwise). Honest hot take: I prefer this over Blazing Blade, and it might end up being one of my favorites.
Sorry, but this game is still genuinely good, and I say that as someone who doesn't like the NES that much (even Mario 3 didn't hook me). It's simple, yes, but not to a fault. It doesn't include the extras from following games because it never needed them. It's about as pure as FE can get, and I love it for that. Obviously, the DS remake is better (in fact, that version might end up being one of my favorites), but this one is still worth it for the extra challenge and Marth being better in this version.
even though I have yet to play Twilight or Tears, the only one I got wrong was the Dark World one (could've sworn it was the Dark Mirror). That Tri Force Heroes one was a curveball, though.
@Atariboy GX will still have widescreen. All the N64 games that had widescreen allow you to switch. Nintendo just showed it in 4:3 because it's the default, similar to how they show the Game Boy games in barf green.
@ManaOwls you seriously haven't heard the horror stories of. . .ahem. . .BODY PARTS being posted on the site? There is a reason it was cut so early. Nintendo was done paying the moderators for taking care of all the complete garbage being posted on Miiverse.
@NeonPizza fair. There are some times when I visit a museum and wish I lived way back when. I'm not salty about it, though. I've learned to accept what I have.
@ManaOwls I get the sentiment, but if you thought Nintendo was perfect before the Switch, you might wanna get a history book. The 3DS and Wii U era especially was abysmal. I love the 3DS, but it wasn't until halfway through the Switchs life that we saw how good it was because of how awful the 2010s were. 2016 was their worst year, period. The only thing I see wrong with this Direct are the new storage requirements and the continued use of NSO. Otherwise, Nintendo is still the same they were 40 years ago: making great new games we will cherish for years to come. At the end of the day, it's the games that matter.
@Lizuka @Kazman2007 imo, the HD version is worse. The visuals were bloated, and there was so much bloom, not to mention that the only meaningful change was the Triforce hunt at the end.

Re: Pokémon Scarlet And Violet Is Getting A Free Performance Upgrade On Switch 2
@KayFiOS I know 😭😭😭
I know even fans dislike it, but it would at least be nice.

even though I have yet to play Twilight or Tears, the only one I got wrong was the Dark World one (could've sworn it was the Dark Mirror). That Tri Force Heroes one was a curveball, though.

Re: Nintendo Delays Switch 2 Pre-Orders In The US Amidst New Trump Tariffs
That's actually good. I still need to save up.
Re: Nintendo Confirms Switch Controllers Are Compatible With "Switch 2 Exclusive Games"
@Rockmirth they released a Joy Con charging stand that the NES controllers will fit on.
Re: Nintendo Confirms Switch Controllers Are Compatible With "Switch 2 Exclusive Games"
@Spider-Kev um. . .don't use it?
Re: Nintendo Confirms Switch Controllers Are Compatible With "Switch 2 Exclusive Games"
If the GameCube controller adapter works, then they'll probably allow you to use it with the NSO app. Makes me glad I bought it.
Re: Switch 2's Jump From OLED To LCD Wasn't A Decision Nintendo Took Lightly
I never cared about the screen quality, tbh. I mean, I still use a 3DS. I honestly felt that the OLED model was redundant for me.
Re: GameCube Games On Switch 2 Will Support An Optional CRT Filter
@HexagonSun Sunshine supported it in 3D Allstars.
Re: GameCube Games On Switch 2 Will Support An Optional CRT Filter
@KayFiOS it's probably the very reason 3D Allstars was limited in the first place.
Still doesn't explain FE Shadow Dragon, though.
Re: GameCube Games Confirmed For Nintendo Switch Online On Switch 2
@Not_Soos yeah, that would do it.
Still doesn't explain FE Shadow Dragon, though.
Re: Hands On: Rock Surfing And Boulder Bashing - 'Donkey Kong Bananza' Is Brilliantly Bonkers

Glad we waited to get this.

Re: GameCube Games Confirmed For Nintendo Switch Online On Switch 2
@Tasuki Watch the trailer. They show him off.

Re: Poll: So, How Would You Rate The Nintendo Switch 2 Direct?
@ManaOwls You know exactly why they can't bring back Miiverse.
Re: GameCube Games Confirmed For Nintendo Switch Online On Switch 2
@Kiyata the first Animal Crossing is kinda boring.
yes, i played it.
Re: Pokémon Scarlet And Violet Is Getting A Free Performance Upgrade On Switch 2
I like what I'm seeing, but. . .no Star Allies? Is the game that hated, even by Nintendo?
Re: Where To Pre-Order Nintendo Switch 2
@BlackenedHalo not a Mariokart or GameCube fan, eh?
Re: Nintendo's Switch 2 'Game-Key Cards' Somehow Manage To Make Codes-In-A-Box Worse
At that point, just get eShop gift cards.

Re: Poll: So, How Would You Rate The Nintendo Switch 2 Direct?
@NeonPizza isn't that just how the 80s and 90s were, period?

Better start saving.
Re: Sakurai's 'Kirby Air Riders' Is Speeding Onto Switch 2
@Tendogamerxxx I dunno, man. I got it last year and thought it was fun. You just gotta get used to it.
Re: Sakurai's 'Kirby Air Riders' Is Speeding Onto Switch 2
@Yoshi3 with the way Air Ride played, you should look into this. That game was BONKERS (pun intended).
Re: Donkey Kong: Bananza, A New 3D DK Adventure, Is Confirmed For Switch 2
If I see one comment about how K Rool is absent or how Wise/Kirkhope isn't composing the music, so help me. . .
Re: Sakurai's 'Kirby Air Riders' Is Speeding Onto Switch 2
@Clammy Air Ride was better than Double Dash, imo. Plus, they can coexist.
Re: Sakurai's 'Kirby Air Riders' Is Speeding Onto Switch 2
@thenikdavies fun fact: Mario Kart Double Dash, Kirby Air Ride, and Fzero GX all released in 2003. This isn't the first time.
Re: GameCube Games Confirmed For Nintendo Switch Online On Switch 2
@Jack_Goetz honestly, I actually liked sailing for longer. It gave me time to appreciate the sunsets.

Re: GameCube Games Confirmed For Nintendo Switch Online On Switch 2
AND NOW WE KNOW WHY AIR RIDE WASNT THERE LESGO
Re: GameCube Games Confirmed For Nintendo Switch Online On Switch 2
@Friendly those games absolutely do not need remasters.
Neither did Wind Waker, if I'm being honest. They're perfect the way they are.
Re: GameCube Games Confirmed For Nintendo Switch Online On Switch 2
I legit almost cried. Path of Radiance finally got a second chance.
Re: Drag x Drive Puts The Rocket League Into Wheelchair Basketball
@N00BiSH absolutely not.
Re: Zelda: Breath Of the Wild And Tears Of The Kingdom Will Be Enhanced With Switch 2

Re: After Copying Smash's Homework, MultiVersus Publisher Was Apparently Turning To Mario Kart Next
@axelhander while I still love Smash, this is exactly why I steer far, FAR away from competitive.
And also why I actually don't like Melee.
Re: Nintendo Music Adds 23 Kirby Switch Songs, With Rest Coming "Later This Year"
Also, Return to Dreamland Deluxe soon, please?
Re: Nintendo Music Adds 23 Kirby Switch Songs, With Rest Coming "Later This Year"
I mean, they cover most of the good ones. Only one I'm salty about is Decisive Battle: Ultimate Z.
