We’ve got the GBA Castlevania’s, now the solid Ninja Five O, I really hope that for a finale Konami gives Shaman King Master of Sprits 1 & 2 a release like this.
To think that there is an alternate timeline where Super Mario Bros could be on the Colecovision? Not quite the NES one we know but one that is scaled back a bit.
For me, it doesn’t matter much as the only current Activision franchise I care about is Geometry Wars. I enjoy the classic Activision franchises more give me a new Pitfall or River Raid or even Beamrider.
I regret selling my physical copies of 1 & 2. I am in on this one. Please, please, please give us part 2 as well. My OCD never liked having only part 1 on the 3DS.
Aside from Picross, Jupiter hasn’t done much outside of that in a while. I think Nintendo doesn’t want another AlphaDream like situation where a developer ends up making one I.P.
Those of us who grew up on it, do we even want a new F-Zero? I don’t think my skills would even keep up with it. My arthritis might flare up during the game. The fan base has aged out.
The bigger question is my DSiWare carried forward onto the 3DS, Wiiware carried forward to the WiiU but then none carried forward to the Switch. So does this mean on the “Switch 3” that we will have to start over again?
Atari seems to have figured things out granted we probably could have done without the VCS but the games they have been releasing have been fun throwbacks to a simpler time in gaming.
Just Dance works because of its approach. Blame the people who take DDR too seriously and scare off the casuals. (My knee is all kinds of messed up so I can’t play DDR).
It’s a streaming device which the PSP and Vita could both do but were also handhelds in their own right. Sony stripped out the handheld part this time around.

Re: Endless Ocean: Luminous Is Coming To Switch In May
I feared that the rumors were wrong on this. I am stoked this made my week.
Re: Rumour: Switch Successor Might Not Be Launching Until 2025
I am hoping for a 2025 release, that Atari handheld is going to be $150 this year. So my funds would have to go there.
Re: Square Enix Is Reportedly Overhauling How It Makes Games
I’d like to believe this. But Square is untrustworthy.
Re: Random: Capcom Survey Asks If Fans Want Sequels To Okami, Dino Crisis, More
Didn’t Capcom do this before?
Re: Soapbox: Tricks Of The Trade-In - Chronicles Of An Ex-GAME Employee
I did almost 10 years at GameStop. (August 08-June 2018.)
We had a Skylanders binder as well. But during one of those trade ins the kid brought in a complete copy of Monster Rancher DS with the Skylanders.
Re: Soapbox: The 'Recharged' Series Proves Atari Is No Longer A Spent Force
Atari is doing something right great updates to their back catalogue.

I would really like to believe this, every 5 years Sega claims this and some how it just means more and more Yakuza games.
Re: Geoff Keighley Agrees Music Was Played "Too Fast" For TGA Winners This Year
I view all of these gaming awards like the Sex Pistols view the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
Re: 'Atari 50' Is Getting More Games Via Free Updates, 12 Dropping Next Week
Berserk and Frenzy will be two of them. The other ten will probably be from the IP/Companies they have acquired recently.
Re: Warner Bros. Says It's Focused On Transforming Its "Biggest Franchises" Into Live Services
This is all good and fun until you get the bedroom that is on the edge of the houses Wi-Fi connection.
Re: Square Enix Appears To Be Teasing Another Dragon Quest Announcement
They skipped over IX for a remake in favor of X. The next game up for a remake is XI.
Re: Coleco's Failed Negotiations With Nintendo Apparently Resulted In The Birth Of The Famicom
To think that there is an alternate timeline where Super Mario Bros could be on the Colecovision? Not quite the NES one we know but one that is scaled back a bit.
Re: Ayaneo's New Handheld Looks Like A 2023 Nintendo DS Successor
Does this mean that I can finally have a dual analog set up for Geometry Wars Galaxies on the DS?
Re: Xbox Boss Wants Nintendo Fans To Feel "100% Part Of The Call Of Duty Nation"
So because PlayStation got a few skins early/exclusive Microsoft went out and bought Activision.
Re: Random: One "New" Wii U Was Apparently Sold In The US Last Month
In 98 or 99 I once found copies of Samurai Showdown and Virtua Fighter Animation on the Game Gear for $5 each at a K-Mart.
Re: It's Over, Microsoft Has Officially Acquired Activision Blizzard
For me, it doesn’t matter much as the only current Activision franchise I care about is Geometry Wars. I enjoy the classic Activision franchises more give me a new Pitfall or River Raid or even Beamrider.
Re: Alien Hominid HD & Alien Hominid Invasion Crash Onto Switch This November
In order to celebrate, the GBA version should be on NSO.
Re: Talking Point: Would You Buy A Digital-Only 'Switch 2'?
No, having the room on the edge of the Wi-Fi has taught me that all digital/always online is just terrible.

Re: Embracer Group: More "Tough Decisions" To Come As Crystal Dynamics Suffers Layoffs
Who knew that acquiring half the industry was a costly idea?
Re: Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake "Progressing Quite Steadily", According To Series Creator
One would hope since they skipped Dragon Quest IX for a remake.
Re: F-ZERO 99 Turns The Classic Racer Into A 99-Player Battle Royale, On NSO Today
It’s neat but, I kinda wish they didn’t put in the mechanics of GP Legend and Climax. It’s my own fault for ignoring GP Legend for almost 20 years.
Plus since I’ve played more of Maximum Velocity over other installments that “A accelerate B Brake is ingrained in my playing style.
Kudos to those that can play with “B Accelerate and Y Brake.”
Re: Newgrounds Classic 'Alien Hominid' Returns In HD Remaster On Switch
It would be great if the GBA version ended up on NSO.

How well do the 2D games run? Those are the ones that I am most interested in.
Re: Video: This 3D Printed Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Hover Bike Looks Absolutely Stunning
Zelda has bikes now?
Re: Metroid Dread Developer Has "Two Large Undisclosed Titles" In The Works
A remake of either Super or Fusion. Metroid 6 feels like it is too soon.
Re: It's "More Difficult Than Ever" To Collaborate With Nintendo, Claims Picross Developer Jupiter
Aside from Picross, Jupiter hasn’t done much outside of that in a while. I think Nintendo doesn’t want another AlphaDream like situation where a developer ends up making one I.P.
Re: Nintendo's Famicom 40th Anniversary Website Is A Treasure Trove Of Trivia
And still no Famicom or NES themed JoyCons?
Re: Survivor: Castaway Island Makes The Leap From TV Show To Switch Game This October
There was a Survivor game on the PC decades ago.
Re: Anniversary: Nintendo Famicom, The NES' Japanese Sibling, Is 40 Years Old
So how come Nintendo isn’t making 40th anniversary Joy Cons or an NES themed Switch Lite?
Re: Takaya Imamura: F-Zero Hasn't Been Revived Because Mario Kart Is Nintendo's "Most Popular Racing Game"
Those of us who grew up on it, do we even want a new F-Zero? I don’t think my skills would even keep up with it. My arthritis might flare up during the game. The fan base has aged out.
Re: Shuntaro Furukawa: Switch Successor Will Utilise The 'Nintendo Account' System
The bigger question is my DSiWare carried forward onto the 3DS, Wiiware carried forward to the WiiU but then none carried forward to the Switch. So does this mean on the “Switch 3” that we will have to start over again?
Re: Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 Switch Physical Version Requires Downloads
Wait… why are two 8-Bit games 1.4GB?
Re: Ray'Z Arcade Chronology Brings A Trio Of Classic Taito Shmups To Switch This Month
Fun fact to get that collection from Strictly Limited I was “late” clocking into work to guarantee that copy.
Re: Atari's Neo-Retro Platformer, Mr. Run And Jump, Hops Onto Switch Next Month
Atari seems to have figured things out granted we probably could have done without the VCS but the games they have been releasing have been fun throwbacks to a simpler time in gaming.
Re: This Side-Scrolling Shmup Has Intriguing Gameplay, But A Terrible Name
I’ll stick it on the wish list and come back to it later.
Re: Sonic Fans Are Already Really Mad About Sonic Origins Plus
Sonic Jam was a great a compilation. After that Sega has been half ****** Sonic Collections every generation.
Re: Just Dance 2024 Edition Brings The Party To Switch This October
Just Dance works because of its approach. Blame the people who take DDR too seriously and scare off the casuals. (My knee is all kinds of messed up so I can’t play DDR).
Re: Sonic Superstars Developed By Original Designer's Studio
And the Sonic cycle begins. At least we found out early this time.
Re: Poll: Are You Excited About Ubisoft's Metroidvania "Inspired" Prince Of Persia Platformer?
Yes but, UbiSoft is a terrible game developer these days. Twenty years ago they used to be a much more competent developer.
Re: Sonic Superstars Sees The Return Of Classic-Style Sonic With New Visuals
Looks fun. Looks good… but what weird gimmick will it have that we find out about in two months that kills this game.
Re: Radirgy Swag Delisted From Switch eShop As Dispatch Games Remains Silent
I’ve got the Japanese Rail Sim game on my wishlist, I wonder if I should just bite the bullet on it?
Re: The Lord Of The Rings: Gollum Dev Apologises For "Underwhelming" Launch State
When companies do this with games (including those that have day 1 patches) we should be treated as testers… we are unpaid testers.
Re: Random: Sony's Upcoming 'Project Q' Is A Little More Wii U Than Switch
It’s a streaming device which the PSP and Vita could both do but were also handhelds in their own right. Sony stripped out the handheld part this time around.
Re: Tetris The Absolute Grandmaster 2 Plus Slots Into Hamster's Arcade Archives Next Month
Anyone on the fence with the two of these Tetris games should download them as there’s a good chance of them being delisted when the rights expire.
Re: Sega Looks Set To Raise Its Game Prices Up To $70
$70 could be fair if game developers eased up on the DLC. And also designed games better I despise Day 1 patches from games.
Re: Atari's Neon Action-Platformer, Mr. Run And Jump, Leaps Onto Switch This Summer
I’m in. Even if this is average or okay I do feel like supporting the current Atari.
