Get a second opinion if you have any interest in this game. This review seems to weight the games shortcomings a tad heavily. It may not have been the series’ strongest offering, but a 3/10 is severe. It’s 6.5 or 7 easy, though I don’t agree with charging what Nintendo does for these remasters.
@Arpie I agree. I'd go further though and say let PS Mini have the holidays and gauge its success. While the 8 & 16 bit gens were successful mostly due to nostalgia, they are also playable. When's the last time you attempted a play session on PS1 or N64. It really is a "rose colored glasses" scenario. While the 2D sprite games are fine, early generation 3D games have not aged well at all. They're really difficult to put any time in. At launch they'll fly off the shelves, but reality will set in real fast and I don't think these will have the lasting punch that the previous classic mini consoles have seen.
This should have been a Switch release with a 3DS port. Nintendo misses so many opportunities when it comes to choosing a platform. There's still no sign of an Animal Crossing...

Nope, not again. I’ll wait until we have an account (ala Xbox live) that allows you to port over games you’ve already paid for... twice

Thanks a lot Nintendolife. I could have gone the rest of my life without hearing this clown's name again and you went and ruined it.

Re: Nintendo's Share Value Soars As Switch Is Projected To Ship 16.74 Million Units By March
It's crazy what a little software support will do. Now how about a proper console version of Animal Crossing?
Re: The Latest Zelda: Breath of the Wild Free Gift Should Help You With Ethical Fishing
I choose to throw food to draw them in, then bomb while they're chowing down. At least they go out happy.
Re: You Can Play Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp Right Now, But There's A Catch
A mobile Animal Crossing!? How about for my shiny new switch that I purchased to play nintendo games on.
Re: Anniversary: It's One Year Since Nintendo Showed Us The Switch
I have to admit some disappointment at no solid news of a new animal crossing or virtual console.

I'm more concerned that a aged plumber of Italian descent has no chest hair (or back hair for that matter)
