I only ever played Breath of Fire 2 for SNES. There are some good things about it, but it had a laughably archaic design for a JRPG released in the U. S. in 1995. I mean, this game was released in the U. S. after Chrono Trigger and FFVI, yet it almost feels like something that should have been a launch title.

Hopefully this means they are going to improve Nintendo's online services.

I was more sad that Nintendo stopped doing Space World.

This is what most gamers that I've encountered need most!

@CMS_Glalie It's fashionable for hipsters to pick apart any type of media that achieves near-universal praise (and conversely, it's fashionable for them to praise mediocre things). It happens with every great movie, album, and video game, and it's boring as hell.

@Krull I'm more like, I know it will be a great game; I just don't know if it will be an all-time classic.

Is this the same game or series as the U. S. game Metal Warriors?

@rjejr If it's a digital only system, then I would hope that every game you buy will run on every Nintendo system going forward.

The next games I want to buy for the Switch are Advance Wars and the Megaman Battle Network collection.

A better question would be, what was the Switch's best year outside of 2017? I think I would say 2020.

Well, at least Advance Wars is coming next month.

I wasn't disappointed, but I had low expectations. Most of the stuff I am excited to play, we already knew about (Zelda, Advance Wars, Octopath, Pikmin, etc.). Baten Kaitos was a nice surprise, and Deca Police looks promising, but I wasn't interested in many of the other newly revealed games. I love Metroid Prime, but I'm not going to pay $40 for each game.

Mother 3, please.

I would prefer they just make new games, myself.

@JamminOnThe1 Yes, particularly the speederbike level. It's bad design, too, because it comes so early in the game and I'm reasonably confident most players gave up on that level.

My top five in order:

Xenoblade Chronicles 3
Pokemon Legends: Arceus
13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim
Triangle Strategy
Retro Bowl

@Jeronan I respectfully disagree with you an Arceus. To me, that game is the standard that all Pokemon games should improve upon going forward. The different areas may not have been huge, but I certainly spent a long time searching every crevice of the maps. Access to novel forms of travel encouraged you to return to areas later to discover more of the map. The ability to catch Pokemon with just a poke ball makes a lot more sense than having to battle every Pokemon.

Arceus, frankly, had much more content at launch than Sword/Shield did, the game you seem to love, and it was definitely less linear. I didn't really find Sword and Shield to be a good Pokemon game until the DLC's came out.

@Jeronan They did a great job on Arceus. With this game, it seems like they just weren't given enough time to flesh out and polish the game.

This sounds like a step backwards from Arceus. Disappointing. I was hoping the series would improve upon the Arceus formula going forward.

@BenAV It's simple for me, just polish the formula from the first Sonic Adventure game.

If you like this game, I would recommend playing Islanders on PC. It's similar, but it my opinion, is a better game.

@Tainaru It will never be too much for me. You can inject this art style straight into my veins!

@Fazermint Did those games have an RPG mode that I wasn't aware of?

I'd rather they make all new HD-2D games than mess with classic titles.

I bet Nintendo is holding BotW 2 back so they can do a dual release on the Switch and whatever the next Nintendo system will be, similar to what they did with Twilight Princess and the first BotW.

It might be good, but I don't like how they seem to have just ripped off Golf Story's idea.

Hmm, where's Ms. Pac-Man, though?

I would have been interested in this if it had come out several years ago. Now I already own two pro controllers and two pairs of Joy-cons. Probably won't drop $70 on a controller for a system that is probably on its way out that I already have several controllers for.

I put early 2024, but they should release it whenever they are confident the supply issues are resolved.

Booooooooooo!

This looks cool. I never owned the SNES version, but I remember playing it at a video games shop as a kid and having a blast.

I missed a lot of GBC and GBA games originally, so I am looking forward to this.

SNES, with Switch and Gamecube close behind.

So I've been playing this for a bit now, and what I hate most about this release is the frame rate! The drops are very noticeable, and much worse than in original the PS1 release. It's pretty sad that this game runs much better on an emulator than in an official release. Why does Square disrespect their customers so much?

@RubyCarbuncle I have the Japanese version for Dreamcast, plus the light gun.

I'm still sad the Dreamcast didn't take off. It probably would have done better if Sega hadn't botched the Japanese release.

I would only want a subscription model if I got to keep the games forever (a la Humble Bundle).

The control issues, combined with the fact that HotD2 is better anyway, make this a pass for me.

I'll wait and see, I don't really like real-time strategy.

I am so excited to play this game tomorrow. You can just inject the "HD-2D" art style into my veins, please.

Qix rules, and there are a bunch of knock-offs with similar gameplay that you can play online, so it would seem there are more than dozens of us!

Cool, I hope more kids play Nintendo and stay out of the military.

I hate the British accents, but I always just switch the spoken language to Japanese, and it sounds just right.

They showed a bunch of stuff I want:

Triangle Strategy
Front Mission games
Chrono Cross
Advance Wars
Live A Live
Kirby Klonoa
and Xenoblade Chronicles 3.

I almost had a heart attack because it said "04/03/2022", then I remembered it's day/month/year outside the US, lol.

I bet Metroid Prime 4 ends up being released for Switch and as a launch title for Switch's successor, much like Twilight Princess and BotW.

They're making it for the next generation consoles, too, so I bet the Switch version sucks.

"git gud, git laid" but won't any erotic stuff be cut out of the Switch version?

It wouldn't surprise me if Metroid Prime 4 was released at the tail end of the Switch's lifecycle on the Switch and as a launch title for Nintendo's next system, like they did with Twilight Princess and Breath of the Wild.

I liked neither the gameplay, art style, nor the story in the demo. I guess the combat animations were nice, but that's about all the good I have to say about it for now.

I wish that they had made Super Mario Sunshine 60 FPS for this collection. That's my main complaint.
