I'm old. Just want to see Gyrus, King of Wor, Congo Bongo, Star Wars Arcade, Tutankhamun, and Qbert. And why is Frogger not available yet?

@AtlanteanMan Yes to Congo Bongo and Star Wars Arcade!

@Grackler Thank you for letting me know. I looked into Brit Box earlier this summer, got busy and forgot about it. Need to check back into it again. I do wish I could find someplace streaming My Family. Hell, maybe I should check YouTube on that too.

Merry Christmas. Hope it's filled with joy!

233 hours / 63 games
1. Mario Odyssey
2. Mario vs Rabbids
3. Dragon Quest Builders (1)

What it doesn't include is the several hundred hours on my Wii U and 3DS each this year.

@Grackler I've tried hunting down My Family on DVD in the states for years. Think all I was ever able to find was series 1. Hornblower is not officially streaming anywhere, but someone posted a solo copy of all the movies on YouTube.

Dragon Quest Builders (1). Got it on sale recently. Loving this game so far. Horace, just got it today on sale. Played first 3 chapters today. Lots of fun and so different. Really digging the story elements to this. And, keep going back to BOTW on my Wii U.

@Grackler Love your avatar. Huge fan of the Horatio Hornblower movies and that actor is great in My Family!

Finally decided to get into to Hyrule Warriors, on the Wii U. Tried the 1st level once or twice before. Today I got through the first two levels and had lots of fun!
Also trying to finish the story mode in Lego DC Super Villains on the Switch. After that planning on tackling another Luigi's Mansion 3 floor.

@Giygas_95 I got Luigi's Mansion 3 on the switch while it was on sale. But after looking at the opening scene I realized I never finished the first two games even though I have them on the 3DS. So I'm about halfway through the first game on the 3DS now or I guess the remake of the GameCube game. I'm having fun with but I'm kind of debating whether I just want to go ahead and play Luigi's Mansion 3 on the switch?

Great video! Thank you for putting this together.

Absolutely love these videos! I think they could have run them here with subs and got just as much attention

maybe. I was really interested BEFORE I finally got a Switch for Father's Day. But, lately I have been contemplating my huge Wii U backlog.

Sure wish they'd bring Quake II to the Switch!

@thesilverbrick Thank you. That does stink.

@UltraLaserTen Is this really true? Have you checked today? I have the digital copy. It's on my backlog list. I always figured they'd at least leave the DLC accessible to those who own the game.

@sketchturner I'm curious too. Was eyeing on the Wii U for a long while, then forgot about it.

@Ooccoo_Jr I've seen it several times over the years and I still enjoy it.

@The_Pixel_King I was wondering if anyone besides me had actually bought it? I thought it was okay, played a bit and never came back to it though.

I still play my Wii U weekly. Have a huge backlog of games — well over 120 games. I am a 50 year old working ass adult, with very limited time to play games each week. Yes, I want a Switch, but when I have such a huge backlog of great games on my Wii U and 3DS, and still more games I want to get, why get a Switch now?

This game looks fun, but I am really stoked at the idea of Shakedown: Hawaii coming to the Wii U — Fingers crossed!

I honestly don't understand why so many people feel the need to put down games that still come out on systems that are not the Switch? Most likely the publisher has a financial reason. Maybe they have put it out on all other platforms and just hoping for a bit of additional revenue. Or, maybe Nintendo's partner publishing agreements suck and they need to release something under the Wii U to qualify to post for the Switch.

I have always loved reading Nintendo Life as most of its readers are fairly mature. But taking pleasure in trolling or bashing a console that you aren't playing just seems a bit immature, and I'm not sure what you are trying to get out of posting like this?

But... does this add back in rumble?

One of my favorite games as a kid. Also had one of the first LCD games of BurgerTime and I played it until it broke. Excited about this, but would love if it came with the original arcade game as a bonus.

@MasterJay Great games, and those figures grew on me. Helped a lot that I didn't get into the series until after they had been discontinued so I could buy the figures in big lots for next to nothing. However the Imaginator toys have been a challenge to find good deals on. Still have for the most part. Just have to hunt so much longer.

I want them to make another Skylander's game. Got into the game series last year, years after the last one was made. Lots of fun. Like a light, colorful Diablo.

@Ichiyama You're not alone. Cranking through my Wii U backlog, but keep realizing "there's another great 3DS game I need to buy/play."

Not a movie license, but a TV show license: Batman: The Brave and the Bold – The Videogame for the Wii. Got a pretty good score on NintendoLife. I have played the 1st level or two and it seems pretty cool.

A note on some other movie licenses:
There was a Back to the Future: The Game on the Wii. It was a Telltale Games story game.

If you include the Wii, Wii U, and 3DS Lego games then you get most all of the Star Wars movies, Indiana Jones, The Hobit, The LOTR, Harry Potter, Pirates of the Caribbean, Batman, and much more.

If you include Wii U Lego Dimensions then you get a crap load of movie & TV licenses, including: The LEGO Movie, The Lord of the Rings, Back to the Future, The Simpsons, Jurassic World, Scooby-Doo!, Legends of Chima,
The Wizard of Oz, Doctor Who, Ninjago, Ghostbusters (1984), Ghostbusters (2016), Adventure Time, Mission: Impossible, Harry Potter, The A-Team, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Sonic the Hedgehog, Gremlins, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, The LEGO Batman Movie, Knight Rider, The Goonies, The Powerpuff Girls, Teen Titans Go!, Beetlejuice

And, the Wii and Wii U Disney Infinity and a ton of great Star Wars, Marvel (check out Spider-Man), and many other movie tie-in games (play sets, which were full games that just ran on the Disney Infinity platform). Majority of these were really good too and very faithful to their source material.

@Razieluigi Great call. I actually decided to finally pull this game out of my backlog and start playing it this past week. Just finished the first couple of levels. I love the art direction they took with this, and the Wii controls seem to be very serviceable. So far seems to be a fun game.

@Wildvine53 Totally agree with you. Annoyed that it took this long for BOTW to get a discount. And, I too am looking for the recent 3DS WarioWare game to get a discount.

Really like those guys. Heard them on IGN podcast before. Super personable and friendly.

I still play my Wii U as my main console, and the 3DS. But dang I have had all these games for a long time. I am really surprised that we have not seen the Wii U version of Zelda BOTW go on points sale. I have noticed that typically about 6 months to 1 year after retail release they will make the game available for a points discount, but not so with BOTW.

@MasterJay I got it on the Wii U and about 60% through the game. I think it's a pretty game. The HD upgrade makes it look nice. Now, it was created in an earlier era but I think the game is still nice to look at.

@chardir I have been kind of following that. Was holding out for a "pro" version, but now I think this might be much further off. Time to finally get on the Switch bandwagon.

I've had a huge backlog of Wii U titles that I am plowing through so I haven't been in a huge rush. But there are a lot of really cool Switch titles I want to play.

@Galarian_Lassie Thank you for the link. Guess I can go ahead and get a Switch now.

Hang on, when was it announced that there would be no new hardware announced? I have been waiting to buy a Switch when a new refreshed "pro" version comes out.

My birthday is next week and I told my wife I was waiting on this new version I know will be released at the end of the summer. If they have stated publicly that they are not releasing new hardware soon, then screw the wait I'll go ahead and get a Switch now.

@RainbowGazelle I was looking for info on this as well.

@Ralek85 This was exactly what I was thinking while watching the trailer. Loved Hexen and Hexen II.

Still play mine every day, have well over 120 games for it, and a huge backlog. That and my backlog of 3DS games keeping me busy. Looking to get a Switch this summer, but don't know if I will ever stop playing my Wii U.

Hell, I only have 206 of 1000+ gold bricks on Lego Dimensions. Might be playing that game itself on my Wii U for years and years!

Alex, I really enjoy your videos. You are very personable and your videos are fun and entertaining.

That is a great trailer. The Wii U is still my main console — have a huge backlog of games still to conquer on it before I consider moving to the Switch. If this is good, I'll be buying it for the Wii U.

Actually going to disagree with the author about the game play being suited for younger players. I am nearly 50, I played both of these games on the Wii, and then its sequel on the 360. There were very challenging sections in both games. These are actually some of my favorite games of all time. I found the difficulty "just right." I've always wished I could get my hands on some original artwork from the games. They just have such an amazing style to the games and the cut scenes. While I haven't bought the games on the Switch, I am thrilled that they are being exposed to a new audience and really hoping we see a 3rd game in the series come out as a result.

That is great news! I've been stuck on a level. Might restart in the jammies mode.

One of my favorite games of all time. Played the original on the Wii and the sequel on the 360. This game is pure joy and tons of fun. I really hope that they are working on another game in the series.

@Tyranexx Playing through TP myself and in the same dungeon. Really liked the game so far. Thinking about picking up Ever Oasis too with Nintendo points.

Damn! Love FX Pinball on my Wii U. Now you finally made me wish I had a Switch today! (Waiting to play through a chunk of my backlog before buying one).

That was a great video. Thank you. I remember when Donkey Kong first arrived in arcades. I absolutely loved it. I was beyond excited that it also came packed in and arrived first on the ColecoVision home console. When I was 13 I would play that game nonstop just rolling the score over. Feeling a bit nostalgic, think I might download this to my Wii U.

I'll pick this up for my Wii U. This looks fun. Watched a video review of the game.

@samuelvictor Totally agree with you. I waited a year on the Wii U, and got involved in Disney Infinity. Had a blast with all the other astounding games on the system.

I think the Wii U has become my favorite console of all time (2nd ColecoVision, 3rd Dreamcast), and that's saying a lot because I remember when my Dad brought home one of the first pong clones. I now have more than 100 games for the system, the majority of them digital. This has left me with a huge backlog of games to play. And, I still have a couple of games I still want. Was hoping to be caught up enough to consider getting a Switch soon, but it might very well be another year for me. One key feature has been the gamepad, it has been handy to pick up and play while the family is watching a show, or keeps peace when my youngest teen is playing his XBOX.

This and its sequel are some of my favorite games of all time. Played the 1st game on the Wii, and the 2nd game on the 360. Don't have a Switch yet, but will definitely be double-dipping when I do get a Switch. I'm really hoping this means that there is a studio working on a new game.

I bet we see some sort of 3DS successor at E3 this year. You could price it at $200 with graphic capabilities a few years old. Nintendo could make good profit and you could still have an entry portable system.

One of my favorite shmup games of all time. Love the Dreamcast version!
