It was disappointing that with the Nintendo DS & 3DS we had the dual screen set up and no Game & Watch Gallery 5. Granted there were a few Game & Watch games as DSiWare and Club Nintendo freebies but they felt lacking in what should have been a really awesome collection.
Who around here is an attorney so we can file a class action lawsuit if this is branded a “legacy edition” as their is no “legacy” to draw from or if they don’t it can be considered a deceptive reskin of FIFA.
After a couple of years and playing some more installments, VII is the worst. The game won’t end, even the 3DS version has unneeded padding, dialogue, some old geezer shows up and ruins your team, etc.
E3 has no point anymore, major companies can do a direct show for their fans. Social media has given us the “holy s**** look at the new Assassins Creed!” Instead of websites covering it.
I will say there was something “magical” about E3 from 95-06 and some “neat” from 07-15 and since then it seems to have lost all of its luster. It makes me miss the websites that I used to visit during those days.
I traded in my Arctic White GBA for a platinum GBASP. That one was sold for a pearl blue one from Japan(Non 101 model). That one was sold for the NES one.
I get the feeling that the service will carry over to the “Switch 2” but when “Switch 3” arrives Nintendo will act like they are doing us a favor to play Super Mario Bros 1 again.
In a way the confusing digital and physical release of the Wonder Boy games is keeping in line with the confusing releases of the games on retro systems.
The DSiWare version was leagues better than this one. But then this one is better than the Wii/3DS version. But they all pail in comparison to the older version.
If Limited Run is listening I would purchase this one as a physical release though

Re: Konami's GetsuFumaDen: Undying Moon Is Getting A Limited Run Switch Release
I want to thank everyone here. I really tried to get into Dead Cells but couldn’t now knowing this is a B-Team version of that game will save me $40.
Re: Alien: Isolation - The Collection Physical Edition Announced For Nintendo Switch
I am in on the regular physical edition.
Re: Microsoft's Activision Blizzard Acquisition Has Been Officially Blocked In The UK
I guess after Disney buying Fox and the whole afterbirth of that saga has led these groups growing a spine.
Re: The Jurassic Park Games Are Getting A 30th Anniversary Retro Collection
I think Sega had a hand in their versions.
Re: Keiji Inafune Is The Producer Of Level-5's New Fantasy Life Game On Switch
Comcept also developed that really bad Ninja Gaiden game, I fear for Fantasy Life now.
Re: Horizon Chase Turbo Dev Aquiris Joins Epic Games To Work On Fortnite
Wow… that’s unfortunate. It seems that over the past 15 years that Epic has silently become this juggernaut that is worse than EA or Activision.
Re: Nintendo Hacker Gary Bowser Has Been Released From Prison
You guys do know that he is going to work at Nintendo or the Feds as a “consultant” right? (Same idea as that Catch Me if You Can guy.)
Re: RayStorm X RayCrisis HD Collection Brings Two Taito Shmup Masterpieces To Switch
I went with Strickly Limited as the bonuses were too much to ignore.
Re: Mario Movie Surpasses $500 Million Globally, Now The Biggest Video Game Adaptation Ever
This number is dizzying. It feels like one of the psychic Pokémon’s used “confusion.”

Re: Anniversary: Capcom's Breath Of Fire Series Is 30 Years Old, And We Miss It
I think by skipping the DS/3DS with ports of 3 and 4 did damage to the brand that can’t be recovered from.
Re: Every Dragon Quest Game Ranked
After a couple of years and playing some more installments, VII is the worst. The game won’t end, even the 3DS version has unneeded padding, dialogue, some old geezer shows up and ruins your team, etc.
Re: Rumour: The Infamous Phillips CD-i Zelda Games Are Being Remastered For Switch
I heard that Limited Run, Strictly Limited, and VGNY will each handle one physical release.
Re: Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster Pre-Orders Being Charged, Launch Date Reveal "Not Quite Ready"
I’ve got a standard edition pre ordered from Playasia. I should be fine.
Re: SEGA & Tencent Have Also Decided To Skip This Year's E3
E3 has no point anymore, major companies can do a direct show for their fans. Social media has given us the “holy s**** look at the new Assassins Creed!” Instead of websites covering it.

Re: Atari Enters Agreement To Acquire Night Dive Studios
Atari has been on the rise since from around the Switch started. The Recharged series, Atari 50 are joys to have.
I am really glad that the current holder of Atari is doing things small but right. (Maybe the VCS was an overstep but that is about it).
Re: PSA: You Only Have One Week To Purchase 3DS And Wii U eShop Games
I feel like I am good with all of the purchases.
Re: Microsoft's Commitment To Bring Call Of Duty To Nintendo Is Now Legally Binding
I wonder if they are going to get the Call of Duty DS team back together (NSpace is gone) to handle the Switch versions?
Re: Talking Point: 20 Years Of The Best Game Boy Ever - How Did You Get Your GBA SP?
I traded in my Arctic White GBA for a platinum GBASP. That one was sold for a pearl blue one from Japan(Non 101 model). That one was sold for the NES one.
Re: Sakurai Says Working On DS Puzzler 'Meteos' Was A "Fascinating Challenge"
If Meteos came to the Switch the trifecta (Lumines, Meteos, Tetris) would be complete.
Re: Switch's Game Boy Library Doesn't Have A Set Schedule, According To Nintendo
I get the feeling that the service will carry over to the “Switch 2” but when “Switch 3” arrives Nintendo will act like they are doing us a favor to play Super Mario Bros 1 again.
Re: Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time Is Coming To Switch Later This Year
This is fantastic news.
Re: Professor Layton And The New World Of Steam Is Bringing The Puzzle Franchise Back To Switch
Nintendo, just buy Level 5.
Re: Square Enix Planning "Multiple New Titles" And New IP
Maybe next time don’t release 1,000 copies of a Final Fantasy Collection through one website at 10:00pm?
Re: Mini Review: Wonder Boy Anniversary Collection - A Great But Gouging, Exploitative Package
In a way the confusing digital and physical release of the Wonder Boy games is keeping in line with the confusing releases of the games on retro systems.
Re: Konami Supposedly Has Multiple Unannounced Projects In The Works
Is it hard to port Symphony from the iPhone to the Switch? Even the Gamecom has Symphony now.
Re: Rumour: Switch Pro Was Real But Got Cancelled, Claims Digital Foundry
Covid, Chip issues, supply issues, economy issues. I can see why Nintendo mainly did a screen upgrade for the Switch.
Re: Talking Point: What's The Deal With The Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster Switch Release?
The fact that I literally jumped into the shower (10:00pm PST) and by the time I got out the game was sold out.
I am really hoping that Play-Asia comes through in some way for us. I would rather give them the sale.
Re: Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster Collection Launches On Switch Spring 2023
I took a shower and the Switch physical release sold out.
Re: Grandia Teases "Exciting Celebrations" For 25th Anniversary
It would be fun if Limited Run did a physical English edition of the GBC game. (and by proxy a Switch release like they did with Shantae).
Re: Talking Point: What Would You Want To See In A 'Mega Man 12'?
I would have loved an Astro Boy Omega Factor style Mega Man game. Developed by Treasure.
Re: Wonder Boy Anniversary Collection To Get Switch eShop Release Next Year
This was a dead franchise and now it feels like there has been twenty releases on the Switch alone.
Re: Class-Action Lawsuit Claims Epic Games Knowingly Made Fortnite "Very, Very Addictive"
Maybe the parents are addicted to streaming shows? How much do they use Hulu or Netflix?
Re: Atari Announces Ultra Rare Arcade Shooter 'Akka Arrh' Is Coming To Switch
Day one download.
Re: Konami's Earnings Report Reveals A Substantial Profit Drop In The First Half Of 2022
Port the mobile version of Symphony to the Switch.
Re: Modern Revival Of 'The Oregon Trail' Is Heading To The Switch Very Soon
The DSiWare version was leagues better than this one. But then this one is better than the Wii/3DS version. But they all pail in comparison to the older version.
If Limited Run is listening I would purchase this one as a physical release though

Even the “lost” version for the Tiger GameCom has been found.
Re: Feature: From Hypnosis To Farts, What Happened To The Wario We Met 30 Years Ago?
I always hoped that Treasure would have ended up making a 2D Wario game.
Re: Talking Point: Given The Voice Artist Controversy, Will You Be Boycotting Bayonetta 3?
No, I consider voice acting in games to be useless. If I want to watch a movie, I’ll watch a movie.
Re: Bayonetta's OG Voice Actor Asks Fans To "Boycott" Third Game After PlatinumGames Wage Fallout
This is why video games do not need voice acting. It’s an extra layer of nonsense that only slows down the game flow.
Re: Superb Shmup Radiant Silvergun Is Getting A Physical Release On Switch
The steel book is tempting since a standard edition would look weird next to Ikaruga.
Re: Talking Point: Professor Layton And The Lost Franchise: Where Did The Beloved Puzzle Series Go?
One thing that killed the series early for me was the LONG wait for the second game.
Re: Overwatch 2's New Phone Number Requirement Is Rejecting Pre-Paid Plans
It’s always funny that when companies do something ridiculous that not one person along the way said “why are we doing this?”
Re: Random: After Three Years Of Anonymity, Minecraft YouTuber Reveals His Face
I’ve never heard of him or his channel.
Re: Talking Point: It's About Time Castlevania: Symphony Of The Night Came To Switch
The fact that it is on mobile devices and that it is not a “tablet” called the Switch is an insult.
If one has only owned Nintendo hardware one has been denied this game.
Re: Surprise! Skyrim Anniversary Edition Is Out Now On The Switch eShop
I am sitting there last night (10:00pm) going “why the hell is Skyrim updating?”
For the extra $20 several years later and the extra content it is worth it.
Re: Nintendo Survey Asks Fans What Pokémon Games & Spin-Offs They Want
A new Pokémon Pinball.
Re: Talking Point: Where Are All The Lord Of The Rings RPGs On Console?
This GBA game had a really great soundtrack.
