Team Over Priced, here, as well. It's nothing to do with my "budget", its the value these have, and the fact many better games are available for the same or less price. This is just Nintendo being nintendo and knowing fans will eat anything up they offer and at any price. Glad to see many others not going for this.

Pinball, at the very most, should be 1 dollar. Whoever adds or updates these on the eShop has to be embarrassed the day they mark NES ( Arcade) Pinball at $8

$8 LOL. There's just no way.

I know this isnt the NES VC version, but remember when WiiU eShop launched and Nintendo made it clear that by their next console VC purchases would transfer over to the next console in full .... let's see how this turns out when the time comes.

At least this game is nearing some kind of a finished product. Three other KS projects I pledged for WiiU, back in 2013, are in complete production limbo. Reven ( the dev took 3 years making a different game and now is trickling out updates), Lobodestroyo ( no updates for 1.5 years), and Knite and the Ghost Lights (dev studio shut down so one guy tends to make a mobile version of the game from what I understood).

Luckily shovel knight and shantae both delivered. And Might No 9 well, we all know how that turned out. My WiiU says I've played a total of 11 minutes. Utter garbage.

Metroid has always been my favorite game franchise. Even I had to 'force' myself to buy this because I just really didn't want to ever use my 3DS again. The game is great tho, just woulda preferred it on Switch

@BezBot I agree. I can just see some purchasing the 29.99 bundle mistaking it for a sequel, not realizing it's an updated version of the original that they already owned.

@BezBot You're literally saving 1 penny by having the original. 19.99 + 9.99

Make some use out of MyNintendo ... allow members to purchase or pre-order items like these directly from nintendo through their MyNintendo account that guarantees they'll recieve one. Hell, I'll gladly spend my USELESS Gold/Platinum Coins just to get a placeholder in order to buy one.

How does something like this get approved for switch, but not Night Trap?

Emulators ... thank you for saving me from these insane Nintendo practices. I'll just watch someone stream Star Fox 2 on Twitch.

Finally, some good Switch news for a change. Loved this series back in the PS1 days.

dang, was hoping for the arcade port of Pac-Land to be included. The NES version, on VC, just doesn't measure up.

If Nintendo has no plans to make these available to those of us who can't spam refresh on pre-order sites every 5 seconds during working business hours ... then I feel no guilt resorting to free emulators

Did Capcom not learn their lesson when they tried to make Resident Evil cater to the mainstream masses, and how long it took for actual fans to trust the franchise many years later. MH Worlds will sell a gajillion copies, no doubt, but core MH fans will get a stripped down experience so it can cater to NON monster hunter fans.
I was actually glad that Worlds wasn't coming to Switch, but no MH XX localization is a decision I can't comprehend. So for the West, our only option is this dudebro openworld monsters of duty edition version of the franchise?

Awesome sauce. Now just give us MP Trilogy HD to hold us over in the meantime

The Fall 2 (very excited when this first got announced) & Steam World Dig 2. Also Yooka-Laylee cause kickstarter

Monster Hunter 5witch

Best announcement, possibly the only one, I cared for in the Direct. Give me my Rider!

Really fun game ... they just need to allow you to skip cinematics (story stuff) when re-entering a stage.

Awesome Games Ported Quick

I'm honestly surprised there was no option to use an in-game screen capture for Home Screens to tide us over until official Home Screen layouts are released.

Oh wait, nm, this is Nintendo, nothing should surprise me at this point.

Wow! Have been waiting a long time for word on the sequel. Can't wait to pick this up on Switch.

@OorWullie ya, we waited like 1-2 years for an update from Knite and the Ghost Lights to only be told it was switching focus from WiiU to PC & mobile only ... when the WiiU backer price was much higher.

Didn't see this mentioned but Farosh will also appear in Gerudo Highlands, "Gerudo Summit" being the ideal spot to target it; around where a Lynel is.

And, ya, like others, I avoided any spoilers I could. The first time I spotted Farosh in the distance over Faron Lake I freaked out a little and stared in awe as it disappeared then came back on its path to go back into the Spring.

@SetupDisk all dragons reappear everyday ... some show up in different areas pending on the time of day if you're in the area.

@EternalDragonX it was an April Fool's, man. A well crafted one, but ya ...

Waiting for the eShop to update so I can purchase.

@BenAV Same. The pre-orders were handed out at the front desk of the store i went to, and i told the retailer to go back to electronics and get me a screen protector ( behind a locked case) before completing my transaction. My phone, 3DS, WiiU, anything with a portable screen i buy a screen protector day 1 before handling said items.

Almost 10 years ago I asked Capcom about bringing their Disney line of NES SNES games to the original Wii VC.

http://www.capcomdigital.com/go/thread/view/7481/568191/so-im-guessing-that-this-forum-can-be-used-for-vc-on-wii?liveView=1

this new announcement really hurts.

Instead we get 25 year old 2D fighter for $40 with 2 new character skins. Thanx, Capcom

@MarcelRguez in your pause menu there is a whistle, top left of inventory. Use it and it will bring you back to the overworld map screen. The whistle is the first item you get in the game when first talking to Sky

And so it begins ...

@MarcelRguez there is no point of no return in Shantae HGH. You can whistle out of a stage almost at anytime. Plus, after you beat the game, can continue your current save file to get anything you missed.

@JaxonH same, just using sleep mode while docked pretty much gives you a power button on your controller for extra laziness

I'm not upset about the lack of VC at launch. I am, however, ticked at the lack of VC info so close to launch. If I have to rebuy VC games for a 4th time i'm done. I seriously hope to be proven wrong and someone has finally fixed this issue. All of my VC purchases ( WiiU & 3DS) are linked to My Nintendo account, they're right there on my profile. This 'My Nintendo' account was suppose to fix the issues of VC purchases to avoid this issue on their next system. Well, the next system is here, and they have yet to reveal any information on this. And you would think the good news of this would be inviting to those on the fence who got burnt with the WiiU. It's obvious they want to avoid the bad PR before the system launches, because Nintendo knows they can nickel and dime their loyal customers once they've reeled them in. Unfortunately I have a week to decide if I'm gonna keep, cancel, or sell my pre-order.

@2CUTE4YOU Nope. but you can expect them to do the same with Wiiu/3DS online gameplay, nip it to force people to move onto the Switch prob a year or so after its release ... just like they did with the Wii when MK8 released.

And, LOL at the phone app to voice chat. Discord/Skype has pretty much replaced any videogame system's voice chat service.

If it hasn't been mentioned ... Wal-Mart in NA will be taking "in-store" preorders starting at noon (8amPT/12pmET) today.

The real question is, is the game tied to your shop user account ... or ONLY to the phone you downloaded it on

Amazon charging $60 extra for NintendoLand in that bundle. LMAO

I'm just expecting Nintendo to flash one last middle finger to all WiiU owners, when NX is delayed and they delay Zelda BOTW WiiU to cater to the NX version release. Wasn't BOTW suppose to come out BEFORE Star Fox's fall 2015 release ... anyone else remember that one?

SNES would be my first choice. Biggest issue I see with an N64 mini is the fact we would miss out on all the amazing RareWare games

Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Ubisoft was pretty much all WiiU had after the first release of 3rd party launch titles. It was a rough time being a WiiU console gamer this gen, and blame was thrown everywhere but at Nintendo,. Now, months/years later after reflecting, I applaud Ubisoft for what they tried to do. Nintendo, and Nintendo only, is all there is to blame for lack of 3rd party support. Only time will tell if they learned their lesson after all the mistakes they made with WiiU.

The NX will be my first ever Nintendo console that I will not pre-order and purchase Day 1. I need to see and believe what they have to offer next round.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE 100% AGREEE! Toki Tori 2 is my favorite WiiU game, and I have 30+ games, all the major releases. Nothing comes close to the brilliance of the game this generation, and the sheer enjoyment of solving it 100% with no hand holding whatsoever.

I stopped logging and and uninstalled after a week. Like many have said, it was just the new hype nintendo thing to do at the time, and got very boring soon after. Plus, almost 1/2 gig needed on my internal phone memory storage was not worth it.

And, honestly, the whole rewards program thing is jacked up I don't even care about that part of the My Nintendo account. It better just let me redownload my VC game son the next Nintendo console, if and when I decide to upgrade.

Reading through the comments I can see many had the same initial reaction I had .... It's kind of hard to replace something thats been abandoned long ago.

We'll never see the zelda DS games here, in NA, as expected.

@sleepinglion on your My Nintendo homepage, top left is a 'Menu' dropdown tab, from there you'll see "Redeem a Point Code"

I'm liking the charm to it. But makes no sense to not allow players to add through Miiverse and other NINTENDO related sources. It pretty much boils down to the fact this was not an app to bring Nintendo players together, it was to bring non Nintendo players to Nintendo recognition.
I, and several friends form my Nintendo consoles' friend list, all had to create Twitter accounts just for the purpose of using Miitomo. Didn't make much sense.

This article was amazing! And glad you didn't pull any punches. The way Nintendo has handled this shows they have no clue nor care about their loyal consumers.

Noone is going to buy a N3DS to play, or re-purchase, SNES VC games. But they "might" have had incentive to upgrade their 3DS if they were able to get those games for free, being that their WiiU & 3DS NNID's were tied to one another. (and they had them purchased on their WiiU console.) But, as always, Nintendo knows we will just re-buy the games so why should they even attempt to bother when they know they can get away with it.

"VC Goodness" ... ya, when you don't actually list a VC game title I already know not to expect anything worthwhile.

Belly Dancing monkey transformations in HD? les do this!

They could POSSIBLY add physical game purchases to rewards for the NX games. But currently with Wii U and 3DS it'd be impossible to recall ALL games currently on shelves and add a redeemable code insert into the packaging. But, since this is set in motion before the release of NX and games it's quiet possible they could consider it by that time, considering there are going to be many to complain about this for now.

$20 asking price is ridiculous. Yes, its a solid game from start to finish that could last 10-15 hours on a players 1st run. Considering the HD port on PS3/4 goes for the same price or sometimes cheaper, this is just another capcom quick cash grab at WiiU owners.

It's just the Wii version of the game. Nothing more. Follow @rjejr advice and buy it physical for a fraction of the price. With that said, though, still promising to see NoA get something on the eShop.

@stocko "And they spent Amiibo wrong 'Ambiio' haha"

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone

And again ... kind of hard to watch videos on this site when there are 2 video ads playing at the same time.
