I hope it’s as good and bad as the 1994 movie.

Honestly I’d they could fix the frame rate and the stuttering/hitching, I would revisit this game. It seemed like it could be fun, but the poor performance kept pulling me out of any enjoyment I had.

If Xbox can’t do anything interesting with the console, then they need to do something interesting with the games. Unfortunately, they haven’t been good at doing either. Plus with DRAM shortages and prices, they’re unlikely to do anything interesting with the price as well.

@chatsworth There’s absolutely nothing new about this situation, the complaining, or the generation. It’s a tale as old as time.

Zelda II is the most in need of a remake if we’re not counting the CDi games.

More width for the shallow pond.

Never liked Ganondorf as a character (just liked Ganon), until Cucuí Ganondorf.

This interview…actually made me interested in this game for the first time.

None of this seems relevant because you can already play Switch 1 games on the Switch 2, and PS4 games on the PS5. (Unsure about Xbox)
If anything they should cancel the Switch 2 and PS5 versions since they’re redundant.

It’s a shame I already own all the Mario games I wanted, save for maybe Galaxy 1+2, but I’m not paying for that for a 3rd/4th time, and certainly not $70.

Hmmm…
Is it too entitled of me to want a Collection 1+2 pack?

Let’s not rose-tinted glasses here. The Super Mario Bros cartoons were NOTORIOUSLY bad quality; ESPECIALLY the Mario Bros 3 episodes. I recently watched them and made it a game to see how many animation and/or coloring errors I could find in each episode. There were MANY.

While AI certainly didn’t help here, it didn’t help because the source was already awful.

But all that aside, don’t let it stop you from enjoying it. It’s a piece of history and one I’m fond of (mostly due to nostalgia, but still…).

Of course Nintendo has a leak problem. Have you seen how they slowly drip-feed content?

I don’t hate it’s existence and can see plenty of use cases for it, but I’ve never used it and probably never will.

I expect it to be a rechargeable item you need to use coins to recharge, or a subscription item you need to keep paying to use.
If it’s a one-and-done purchase, I’ll definitely buy it, but if it’s going to keep costing me money, I won’t.

“Subscription”
Rent-Seeking strikes again!

Specific prices aside, this is what it should have been all along. I think it should be taken a step further and game key cards should be priced between digital and data-on-cartridge games.

So it’s basically what I was afraid of from the beginning. A great distraction if you have friends or children who want to play together, but effectively nothing for single players.

Square Enix loves bandwagons.

We may finally get that long anticipated SNK vs Capcom 3.

Unfortunately it will be full of characters only Saudi nationals know of.

I absolutely refuse to buy Game Key Cards. I will never buy one. I might consider the digital release if it goes on sale. But the fact that they’re already lousing the game up with FOMO disinclines me to buying it in the future as well.

I have no trust left in the current Microsoft. Saddy Nutella has killed the company as far as I’m concerned.

I still think this game looks like The Future Adventures of Big Daddy and Little Sister.

I’m not-so-secretly hoping this movie is so awful it loops back around to being good.

@ShadLink and then stop repeating and never be available again.

@MysteriousMudkip you would have a hard time figuring out which game all new Pokemon would be from? This doesn’t make any sense to me.

@PushMyGran86 Even shinies used to be a once in a lifetime event. Now they hand them out like candy.

@ShadLink Counterpoint: They made a Mario game without Mario. Wario Land. It was great.

I always try to make an effort to use a team of Pokemon I’ve never used before whenever I play a new title in the franchise. This doesn’t necessarily mean only new ones introduced in that game, but I will still try to include them.

When Sword and Shield was announced as not having the full roster, I was on Team Upset. However, now I’m beginning to agree that the dex has become fairly bloated and something needs to be done. I’m going to take the all or nothing stance here and say that they should start fresh with an all new roster. My reason behind that is that when they start trimming Pokemon out, they’ll inevitably upset some players because that was their favorite ‘mon. By starting fresh, nobody will feel targeted and expectations will be reset.

I hope they have voice acting, though I’ll begrudgingly accept none if there isn’t any.

I’d love to see them actually animate scenes instead of fade to black sound effect actions happened.

The best thing they can do for this game is spend more time on it. I’d be happy if it was a Winter ‘27 release. Put in the effort guys. Make this the best Pokemon game.

“All new music” is a pretty huge red flag. I hope the can elaborate on that.

@Mommar likely not. There was a smaller cabinet version of the game that used only one screen and is the path of least resistance (plus makes the most sense for consoles), so I expect them to use that version.

@Vyacheslav333 a lot of “you’re holding it wrong” type of comments.

I was going to buy this no question except I just happened to be playing another game at the moment and hadn’t gotten around to opening the eshop before these stories started breaking. Now I shall continue to wait until they fix it (if they fix it).

@Anti-Matter They did Ceruledge’s shiny form dirty.

I won’t be buying this because I already have Let’s Go Eevee, but I don’t hate that it exists. We should always celebrate more options to play older games, even if the value proposition doesn’t make sense to some people. I just hope Gamefreak and Nintendo don’t expect this to pull New Pokemon Game sales numbers.

I do think it should also be available as part of the NSO sub in addition to this, but I could see how that would eat into sales at a time where Nintendo is in a good financial position and doesn’t necessarily have to play to the customers.

That’s a much larger amount of NES results than I was expecting. I thought there would be a much more even spread or skewed more towards newer access methods, given that the Nintendo brand tends to be portrayed as this younger audience brand.

I’m honestly not expecting much and I’m still prepared to be disappointed. Honestly, the best thing I could hope from this is that Gen 10 or whatever is pushed out another year or two to ensure it’s properly polished and the best experience it can be. I’m tired of the rush jobs.

@LastFootnote I could never put my finger on why I didn’t like any of the other Wario Land games beyond the first. This finally made it click in my brain. You’re absolutely right. That’s also why I seemed to have more fun with the VB Wario game than any of the others.

I don’t think this thing shouldn’t exist. It’s a cool little niche trinket that would look good on a display, even if retro enthusiasts would be more interested in a fully authentic reproduction rather than a barely functional mimicry.
My issue is that it’s an extra purchase on top of an extra purchase on top of an expensive purchase. It’s a hardware accessory that requires a subscription to use. Lastly, there’s no reason why VB games require this thing. Every game I’ve played had the 3d element being a neat addition, but not required.

This SHOULD have been an OPTIONAL accessory, not a required one.

@Sylamp
A beginner can probably button mash their way through most of the early game. I haven’t played the second half of the game yet, so I can’t comment on that.
But there’s also plenty of room to take advantage of the game’s systems that are harder to master.
Perhaps someone with more experience can offer additional insight.

This is a much needed improvement. Some of the opening sequence elements appeared to be running at sub30 in the original (Switch) version while the new 60fps version seemed to be consistently 60fps. There were also some other visual improvements beyond fps that I noticed, which is a huge plus.

@The_Nintendo_Expat
Marketing departments around the world: “Why yes, we will continue to misuse and stretch the definition of words to sell stuff!”

Best piece of news I’ve seen all month.
(Insert M.Bison ‘Yes! Yes!’ gif)

I hope that D-pad functions better than it looks.
Other than that gripe, this looks awesome.

I played almost every VB title including unofficial titles on the 3DS and my takeaway was that the 3D effect was nice, but unnecessary. I couldn’t find a single title that needed the 3D effect to play. The fact that this additional accessory purchase is required for the additional cost expansion pak for the additional cost NSO subscription for a console you spent $300+ is kinda ridiculous. It feels like triple dipping.

@ShadLink That’s certainly a noble stance, but not every old game is available to play on retro consoles.

I think everyone has their own line that they draw when it comes to emulation.

@DennyCrane While many emulator proponents will often draw the line at current systems, it has never actually been the case where emulators haven’t been developed because a console is too new. Even so far back as Bleem, they were making emulators for current generation consoles.

I watched the trailer for this and it looks like the Future Adventures of Big Daddy and Little Sister.
