I'd LOVE $40, but I'm guessing $50 or $60. That being said, I'll pick it up day 1 since I want to support this wonderful franchise. Reminds me of the good old days with bomberman on the SNES & Saturn.

Preordered. Tetris is great and seems like a perfect game for the switch, honestly. I don't know much about the PuyoPuyo franchise but I guess it's time to learn!

Just buy physical, or a cheap SD card. Problem solved

@oatmealwarrior92 Same here, I plan on mainly getting physical releases since I have the gamers club. Best Buy has saved me a ton with that...

Either way, I'll probably get at least 100 extra gigs at some point.

If it's reasonably priced ($40?) I don't think this is a bad deal.

Preordered the red and blue joycon model. Probably won't get a pro controller at launch, but maybe shortly after depending on how the joycon grip controller feels. At $30 that's way less scary of a gamble.

Pretty excited, honestly. I think there is a lot more coming out this year that hasn't been announced yet. Nintendo will deliver on this one. But even if I just pick up one or two games on launch, I'm perfectly content.

This game looks unlike anything I've seen... will probably pick this one up.

Don't worry though, I still think Nintendo will announce FF15 or KH3 at E3.

Bet this is a pack in. It's no Mario, but it looks good honestly.

REGION LOCK, YOU WONT BE MISSED

Looks pretty interesting, I dig it

So excited for this. What a huge year this will be for Nintendo. Day 1.

I've loved owning a WiiU, and I know I'll be playing it for years alongside the Switch.
Still gotta play W101 & Xenoblade...

I wonder if they'll include the GameCube controller adapter for the smash players

Croc controls like he is in mud, but it's still a charming game for sure.

Good news to read Can't wait to try them out. I love the preservation aspect of retro gaming.

Neat article, and a good read. Still missing both of those guys in the gaming community to this day. RIP.

Love this channel, always great content that hits the nostalgia hard.

From what I know, black carts were 100% compatible with the GB. The clear ones are the only ones that say "only for GBC"

@hieveryone Ok thanks for the heads up.

As far as which game in the series to start on, they all have their own story so anywhere is fine. If I had to tell someone where to start, I'd probably say 6 or 8. But honestly his game is great, and I'm guessing this version will be the definitive one. Especially since the large size kind of suits the handheld style of play. I'd say go for it You won't be disappointed if you like old school RPGs with good music, writing, and graphics. Just get past that slow intro and you're golden.

Like @Dakt is asking, any N3DS enhancements? Or the circle pad pro support?

Either way, can't wait to pick this up today.

Been waiting a long time for DQ7

Jesus that was tough, picking only 5.
Metroid prime.
Luigi's mansion.
Mario sunshine
Windwaker
Smash Bros Melee.

The Cube was the second console I got, but the first that really took gaming to a new level for me.
Hours and hours with Melee. Mario Sunshine was damn near perfect. Even Starfox adventures had its moments, haha. Luigi's mansion was so engrossing and the controls were unlike anything I'd ever seen, in a good way. The visual jump from the 64 was so mind blowing.

Love you forever, Gamecube!

Very cool. I wonder how the Zelda book compares to hyrule historia.

Good to hear that such a great composer is being honored. Everytime I start up one of the DQ games, I am reminded of his talents & part of why I love this series so much.

This gives me flashbacks to e reader cards.

But yeah, I'm looking forward to these. New leaf is the best AC so far.

Favorite system to this day. All those amazing games... FF, breath of fire, dragon quest, earthbound, the list is endless.

Although, I don't understand the hate for the North American design... I think I'm the only one that loves it. Lol. The original design is amazing as well, but they are just different

Nice. I always love articles like these. Thank you.

I'd love to get one of these but they sold out

Not a huge MMO guy, but I'd for sure give DQX a shot if it released in the states. DQ is one of my favorite series though.

@khaosklub Another Wario Land game would be amazing. The 3rd on the GBC is still my favorite to this day.

Cool, it's nice to see recognition of game music from sites like pitchfork. Thanks for the article!

This is a cool console, but I'm still super excited for the mini NES.

Wish they would've included that amazing second verse too!

Great review, fun game. Busting out the old cartridges soon...

Any USA preorders open yet?

If it played carts, it would be the console of the decade. Sweet Jesus.

But regardless- day 1 for me. I am truly blown away. I still have all my original hardware but I can't pass this up. Good job Nintendo.

I know we have all disagreed with pachter at one point or another, but I think he is pretty accurate here.

Still looking forward to this

I dig the idea of this, and will be following it. Ive always enjoyed a well done rom hack of a Pokemon game. The best ive encountered is probably Pokemon Brown, which is a great hack of the Gen1 games.

Edit:
I don't understand why people are getting mad about a more mature themed Pokemon game. It's just a different, unofficial take on a series that most of us know and love. Personally, I enjoy the chance at higher difficulty and different themes, especially since the series has somewhat weakened in recent years. Although X&Y were enjoyable.

@Dave24 I don't have time for you. I hope that you enjoy your opinion, no matter how negative

Good article, @damo.

Don't listen to the negativity- some people would rather forget history than learn about facts. Some get offended way too easily, but is important to stand by your work.
Very interesting read.

Upgraded from my yellow GBC to an SP way back when, I'll never forget how amazing it was. Loved playing the old carts on there too (that backlight magic).

Always wanted a GBA Micro. Finally saw one in my local retro store a few months back, but now my eyes are too bad to actually enjoy it lol. At least I have the gameboy player on the Cube

Happy birthday GBA! We miss you.

Started with gen 1, and will forever love it Yellow has my heart since it was first video game. I have so many fond memories of these games. Nowadays, gen 2 is probably my favorite due to the great improvements, but gen 1-3 will always be special. The heyday of Pokemon, if you ask me

Everybody relax. Let's be happy that the WiiU is even getting this game. Try to use your imaginations and see that this could be a fun, lighthearted game in a series that we love. One trailer isn't enough data to judge this badly.

IV was my first foray into the series, and I love the old school mapmaking. Will keep an eye on V.

I'm sure this has been covered, but I'll ask anyway. Is there any option to have red or blue appear in color the way they did when played on a GBC? I always played blue with the blue tint, and red in red. It'd be silly to have to play in greyscale, in my opinion.

@readyletsgo That sounds like a good night. Love that game.

I'm planning on blasting some David Bowie as well, in his honor. What an artist.

Cool article, thanks for sharing.

For me, generations 1 & 2 are my favorites, with gen 3 at a close second. Yellow was the first game I ever played. Silver blew my mind with all its upgrades and enhancements. (And those animated Pokemon in crystal! lol)
In fact, tonight I'll be playing yellow with my girlfriend, it's her first time playing through

If there is a lot of work involved, I guess $10 isn't terrible. I'd prefer $7.99 or something like that though, seems like more people would take the plunge at that price.

It'll also be interesting to see if they do discounts for buying 2 or all 3. I'd also love to see Pokemon green on there, although that's never happen.

Either way, glad that they are finally available. I want new players to see these older games and get a chance to enjoy them like I did back in the late 90s.
