I would totally play Baba Is Us.

@joey302 I completely agree, but unfortunately so many modern games rely on Day One patches, DLC, or post-launch updates such that even the physical cartridge or disc will eventually be incomplete or worthless when their consoles' online services are shut down.

Nintendo seems to actually be doing ok on the preservation front as all of their rereleases are of high quality (whether old ROMs or remasters). My problem is more with the fact that so few of these classic titles are available on modern consoles. In today's age, where digital copies and streaming of films has become the norm, it would be bizarre if consumers had to purchase 20 year old hardware to watch movies from the early-to-mid 2000s, but that's exactly the case for many GameCube games (and now PS2 games that will no longer be offered on the PlayStation Store). I truly hope that game preservationists, at least, are doing as much as they can to keep these old games available and alive for future generations (including DLC and the like).

Spirit Tracks is a great Zelda game. My only issue with it is the darn Spirit Flute sections; no game should have mandatory microphone segments.

I liked Spirit Tracks a lot (even despite my broken 3DS microphone making the Spirit Flute segments an absolute pain) which made it hard to go into Phantom Hourglass afterwards given the quality of life improvements ST made. I do plan to play Phantom Hourglass eventually, but I wish I did it first, before Spirit Tracks.

The Four Swords games are the only Zelda games I haven't played because they're just so darn hard to. If I had to pick a single game (out of any series) to be remade on Switch, it would be Four Swords Adventures.

@Clyde_Radcliffe We need Ask Kimishima first!

Can't wait for this to happen again with Zelda, and for blind fanboys to keep defending these foolish, anti-consumer practices.

Should have had a few pitches wrong intentionally to make it more realistic. (Simulating Joy-Con drift)

I've always disappointed that these features didn't carry over to the Switch (especially the Activity Log). Until they do, the 3DS will remain the superior system in my eyes.

I have several loose DS carts but I'm hoping to buy cases for them if they aren't too expensive.

What a fantastic price for Mario + Rabbids. Played through the first chapter a while ago and while it's not for me, it was clearly a quality game.

With the monthly Capcom sale comes my usual recommendation to play the Ace Attorney games. You won't regret it!

Both of the Pinball games are great. And I still play Pokemon Picross from time to time.

It is if Nintendo decides to do anything with them. I don't expect any acknowledgement of anniversaries besides Zelda and Pokemon because according to some here on Nintendo Life, Nintendo can only focus on one at a time!

We know what’s coming through July so I don’t expect any major announcements until the typical E3 time when most of the holiday lineup will be revealed (gotta save a couple surprises for the fall) and a Switch Pro announcement a few weeks later.

Already have FFVII on PC but I might pick it up again on Switch for that price.

Don't forget to pre-order it before March 31st.

I bought ARMS at launch (as I only had a couple other Switch games at the time) and I liked it but not enough to keep playing after 5-10 hours or so - especially after Splatoon 2 came out, so I sold it. It's a great IP with a ton of potential that I don't think Nintendo knew how to capitalize on.

We live in a twilight world.

Anyone who thinks it's ok for Mario All-Stars to stop being sold because "everyone who wants it has gotten it already" shouldn't mind at all if every Switch game released before Sept 2020 suddenly vanished off of the eShop. After all, video games are supposed to only be sold for an arbitary six-month time frame!

I also fully expect this article to be proven wrong when it turns out Nintendo has no plan to continue with Mario 35 or the All-Stars games or anything of the sort. I'll happily eat my words if they do, but I haven't seen any evidence that they would (especially after they weren't brought up in the recent Direct).

I know the direction they went with is controversial but it definitely has some merit. I haven't picked up any of the larger playsets since they aren't really geared towards me but I have bought a few of the character packs and I plan on getting more, since they're only $5 each for a Mario enemy in LEGO form! If we do get other Nintendo sets, I hope they're in the traditional style though (like that Temple of Time MOC the site posted a few days ago).

Because Nintendo has forgotten about nearly all of its 2000s franchises, and only care about their top-tier ones. I wouldn't be surprised if we never get another WarioWare or Rhythm Heaven game again with the way the company is heading.

It's a shame Capcom cares more about amiibo than Nintendo at this point. Either way, unless there's a demo and I really like it I probably won't be getting this since I couldn't get into the demo of the first ame.

In my 6 years of reading this site, this is the first 1/10 I think I've ever seen. Quite an accomplishment; the developers should be proud.

I'm surprised that Monster Hunter is only getting costumes (as far as we know) considering how big of a franchise it is, especially in Japan.

I hope all the Mii Costumes are packaged together as a bundle eventually.

Epidemiologist Knight!

Reminds me of all those stability articles we got back in the heyday of the 3DS and Wii U. Those always gave me a laugh.

You mean I have to complete an entire degree in just a single year? Bring it on!

It's hilarious to see people try to defend this stuff.

YS VIII is a great game. Picked it up on PS4 when it was on sale on the PlayStation Store.

Funny how in the last few years Nintendo hasn't really followed this philosophy at all. The least they could do is actually make more of the legacy catalogue available on the Switch (for a fair price) if they're not interested in taking full advantage of their IP. And PR blunders like the ones that piled up late last year and Joy-Con Drift do more to hurt their image than any bad game.

Also, the sequel trilogy didn't just not live up to fan expectations, it was poorly written and mismanaged from the start.

I'm warming up to the art style but the character models look awful, both the overworld ones and the battle ones. If a mediocre visual upgrade is all that this remake offers, it's not worth $60 to me. Hopefully they improve the lighting and models before launch.

Zelda II is the game in the series that has aged the most. There's no reason to play it compared to the 100s of better games on the Switch. I'd be happy to try a remake if it got one (which it desperately needs).

Without content from Platinum, I won't be able to call these remakes the definitive version of a Sinnoh game.

This game looks great. At least I know there's one Pokemon game this year I'm going to buy (for a good price, of course).

The graphics need some work but I'm optimistic about this, and It easily eclipses the D/P remakes for me. Hoping the story, gameplay, and world live up to their potential, because if Game Freak can't pull this off then it's time for the series to head to another developer.

I think GF knew these remakes wouldn't be very impressive so they attatched Legends to the announcement to compensate. I'm willing to try it, but that art style isn't doing me any favors. Unless new features and content are revealed, I'll just stick with good-old Platinum on my 3DS.

What a console. In my opinion, the 3DS has the best library of any Nintendo system, and it's easily my most played.

My only prediction for this is that fans will be outraged no matter what.

@Mr-Fuggles777 Um, this and Fallen Order aren't mutually exclusive. They're being worked on by different studios.

Great to hear.

Sorry, but this is clickbait. Pokemon has been counting down to Pokemon Day for the past 3 days, with an older generation each time. While there may be a major announcement this weekend, this tweet doesn't give us any clue about that.

A simple tweet on Zelda's 35th Anniversary wouldn't have distracted from anything.

The price of new copies is what spurred me to buy it for $30 pre-owned over Black Friday. Came without a case unfortunately but I feel it was worth the tradeoff.

I believe it, if only because Nintendo's core output has been so lackluster recently that they have to be focusing their resources on some larger, unannounced project. A Switch Pro would also make the development of Splatoon 3 make more sense.

Once again, Nintendo's PR is baffling.

@Jayofmaya I don't think so. If there is, I haven't tried it.

I should be happy about this, but it just reinforces the fact that the general public doesn't care what price a Nintendo game is, regardless of the quality (or assumed quality) of the product. I hope to buy Skyward Sword HD when reviews come out and it can be determined if the price is actually justified.
