I’m going to try and finish Xenoblade Chronicles 3 before Tears of the Kingdom is released.

It’s good to see this has sold well. Acknowledging the demand(market) and appreciation for collections like this.

I voted 98 for Resident Evil 2 and those N64 games mentioned in the article. WCW NWO Revenge was also released that year.

I’ll be playing Project Zero mask of the lunar eclipse, Metroid prime remastered and I’ll spend a bit of time on Golden eye. It’s good to play some N64 classics but like to spend more time on new / current Switch games.

I voted 2017 for Zelda, Mario, Sonic Mania and Doom (2016). I rate 2022 as a very close second for Xenoblade Chronicles 3 among other great games that year.

I’ll be playing Golden Eye. I remember 00 Agent being far too difficult when I was younger. I’ve already completed the first 4 levels on that difficulty.
I’m on the final chapter of Fire Emblem Warriors three hopes, so will finish that.

A tough choice. I gave the edge to NA/EU as the background uses the full length of the box behind the logo. And I think the hero is better presented.

@Magician 19/24
I got caught out on Overwatch to. Control was memorable because it was cloud only. There’s so much available now, I can’t think of any particular recent release I’d like to see.
On the retro front(16-bit era), Mortal Kombat hasn’t made an appearance yet. Compared to other franchises where games have been released on multiple collections. Sonic 2, Street Fighter etc.

I think this was shown on channel 4 in the UK. I saw it along with others also on 4. SMB 3, and Super Mario World had a cartoon as well. I loved them all at the time but they probably haven’t aged well.

I don’t think Nintendo could go wrong with GameBoy games for NSO. That’s a much beloved console. Would be good to kick things off with Goldeneye N64, hopefully this month.
As for new games that aren’t Zelda, maybe there could be a new 3D Mario. Donkey Kong has been absent for a while. There could be a third 2D game with a port of Wii DKC returns so the trilogy can be owned on Switch. Unless a 3D platformer is realised again for Donkey Kong.

I’ve started life is strange true colours. Bought the physical copy. Been on the back log for some time. I love what I’ve seen so far.
Two point campus - Finally got 1 star on the cheese ball level, after a few re-tries.
I’ll play some old and new Turtles games as well.

@Magician I’m hoping for such a collection next year. With arcade and console versions would be a nice bonus like the Turtles release.
There’s an Arcade 1Up Midway cabinet with MK, Paper boy and a few other classics. Maybe a similar collection will get a home console release.

The GameBoy colour updates are a nice surprise. The special button and difficulty options are also welcome. I’ll be playing this over the weekend.

@the_beaver I do have the Switch version. it runs smoothly enough. I wouldn’t cite performance issues as a negative. I’d definitely recommend it.

I’m finally coming to the end of Ys IX the final chapter. Looking forward to Ys X and it’s new combat system. I’ll spend some time on Xenoblade Chronicles 3 and Two Point campus.
I have Bayonetta 3 and Nier Automata to begin over the holidays.

As they have mega drive and mega cd games on one console, a Saturn mini with 32x games would be a good follow up.

I’ll be playing Xenoblade Chronicles 3 and the last level of FE warriors three hopes. Also mega drive mini 2

It’s a great medium sized Metroidvania. It ticks the right boxes for a good implementation of the genre. I think I completed it with a play time of 8 hours. I’d highly recommend for fans of the genre and retro games.

I’ll be continuing Two Point Campus and FE Warriors Three Hopes. Also spending more time with TMNT Cowabunga collection.
I downloaded Picross s8 yesterday so I can do the odd puzzle here and there.

I played for team rock on Saturday morning. I put a lot of hours into Splatoon 2 so will wait for the review to see if 3 is worth purchasing.

Great review. I have the enrolment edition arriving tomorrow. Can’t wait.

I have the original Game Boy game on 3DS from the virtual console. I’ve not booted up the 3DS in a while. I didn’t get too far but will revisit it on the switch if it reviews well.

I got the GameBoy bundled with Tetris and Turtles fall of the foot clan for my additional game.

Thanks for the update. Got mine ordered. I missed out previously so have been waiting for a while.

Was hoping this was going to be announced. The first mini console included Micky mouse games, castle / world of illusion. I wonder if Micky mania or other Disney games will be included. Mortal Kombat was big on the Mega drive but even with 3rd party on board, Sega may want to avoid giving the product a Pegi 16 rating.

Sonics planet mobius is rich and unique. The world shown here does look quite generic. What’s been shown could be a small portion with more diverse environments to come.

There’s been a Play Station mini, so a Saturn mini could be feasible. Though the image suggests Mega Drive.
Maybe a mega drive mini 2 or more likely another MD compilation for consoles.

@Teksetter it does look / sound promising. If you haven’t seen it, there is also a standard physical retail release to preorder at stores like GAME and Amazon so will be easy to get a copy.

I really enjoyed Killer 7 on the GameCube. It’s uniqueness and story were a big part of the appeal. With each assassin being a different personality, making you question what’s real.

Never owned this one but borrowed it. An excellent FPS. Will definitely buy and recommend. That’s another retro game I didn’t expect to see, making a comeback. Between Aladdin and the Ninja Turtles games, it seems anything’s possible. Keep em coming.

@KindofaBigDeal I’ve read that in articles, but the gameplay being what it is, I’d be ok with either version. However, I did I only play the Mega Drive games so would be nice to see the difference.

Mortal Kombat 1, 2 and ultimate 3 would be welcome additions. Any titles that are rarer to come by.

A fascinating interview. Even in the 8 and 16-bit era, I think video games were a strong and valid medium, although they’ve not always been viewed as such.

I think Donkey Kong is due a new game. Perhaps levels similar to Kirby’s latest would serve the tropical jungle setting really well.

I’ve read David L. Craddock’s Arcade Perfect. Fascinating reading. Will definitely be buying this book.

I’ve completed Shadow Man remastered. It was well worth it for the new previously cut content. It took around 23 hours 40 mins.
This weekend will be MK 8 DLC, Ys origin and Ys IX.

I’d prefer to own a remastered copy than have access to the original on NSO but the latter would still be welcome. Along with Perfect Dark.

I was waiting for this. Day one purchase. I like the sound of the museum content. TMNT has a rich history with the cartoon, films and toys. It was a craze. No wonder there were so many games.

@Zuljaras the download took the game from version 1.00 to 1.04. It took 20 mins to download. It could just be a patch. I didn’t try playing the game before the download.

I preordered this from GAME and it arrived this morning. The blue label is when the game is on the cart but an additional download is required. The orange label is for empty boxes with download code for the digital version. If that helps.
4 new outfits for Alex was the pre-order bonus.

It’s good that as soon as Nintendo started using CDs with the GameCube, that Capcom would resume strong support. It seems like it took longer for Square Enix, less I’m mistaken.

There were some strong reasons for going with cartridges. For real time 3D games using polygons to run smoothly without load times. A Rare developer mentioned dynamic music as a benefit in an interview.
If the first 3D Mario and Zelda games would have been far less than what they were, then cartridges can be seen as a wise move. Is it possible that on CD, those games could have been as well realised?

I’m really getting into Shadowman now. Loving the upgraded visuals and sound. I’ll continue Dusk. Yesterday I got the Castlevania Advance collection on discount price so will playing as well.

The GameBoy and Game Gear games on the 3DS will be missed. Perhaps the closure is in preparation for their addition to the NSO service.

DK mountain from the DS entry. Not sure if that was it’s name but it was covered with snow, so would look nice with an HD remaster.
They could also have a bowser castle collection as well. The N64 course is my favourite.
The wii entry was good but the metal half pipe wasn’t used well, as you were forced to trick of the edge to get through it. It would be better to have the racers drive down the middle. The boulder shot from the bowser statue would be more of an obstacle.

After enjoying the card battling of Steamworld Quest, I downloaded the demo of Shadowverse: champion’s battle. It’s ok so far. I need to play more before I decide to purchase.

Yes, Goldeneye for NSO or the previously unreleased remaster to buy, although that’s more unlikely.
Surely Bayonetta 3 is a given at this point.
More on the third party side, release dates for the new Turtles game and Sonic origins would be good.

@ThomasBW84 Thanks. It’s on the backlog at the moment but will get to it eventually. I like that it follows main characters Claire and Barry.

Revelations was one of my favourite 3DS games. It’s visually stunning, a fine example of home console quality on a portable console. I have the sequel on the Switch but haven’t played much of it. Not sure if it is considered better than the first.

@Paulo I thought the same. Another big anniversary. There’s plenty of games for the selection.

That’s an interesting article. I have Ace Attorney Chronicles and the AAC Trilogy on my backlog to play. Will definitely make a start sooner now. It would be good to see history dealt with in similar ways in other games.
