@-wc- I'm either playing it docked or in tabletop using a pro controller. I don't use the JoyCon unless Im forced to.

For a holiday ornament it's certainly not evoking any kind of holiday feelings.

Sold out in the US.

@Daniel36 @RawBert I know. I've always referred to the genre as "shooters." Then 1st-person games had to come along and change the meaning.

I miss the PC Army Men games. "Mines! This'll ruin someone's day..."

@Savino Found out it didn't play like the regular ones, so I wasn't interested. I guess we didn't miss much. Now, whatever the WiiWare one was, put that on Switch! The WiiU one was not quite the same.

Game can be enjoyed without spending a dime.

Awesome. Someone make a Jackal sequel.

Awesome game. Couldn't get into Blue Storm because it didn't have the soundtrack magic like 64.

Definitely Spy Hunter vibes. I'll keep an eye on it.

Yep. Need Raiden II. Can't be without the fat purple laser.

@Scrubicius Yep, the SNES one works like a charm with Contra Anniversary, and basically any retro collection for that matter — even all the Hamster Arcade Archives/Neo Geo games. I've been playing the redone Ninja Warriors game with it lately. I've also hooked up the controller that comes with the SNES Classic using the 8BitDo GBros. adapter, but then you're missing the zl and zr buttons.

I wish someone would remake Test Drive III with today's graphics.

Still prefer R-Type to be sprite-based. Also, the game needs to move faster and rock on the soundtrack. R-Type III sucks you right in from the get-go. Also, the load screens are annoying. At least let us see the ship completely blow up!

@NikHogan
Of Myths and Monsters is on the Gameboy!
But yeah, how can it be so hard to make a new one? Just let some indie company make an all-new 2D (sprite-based) platformer with all the spirit of the first two games. HD and 60 fps. Instant cash.

@SuperToe Yes, always has been Shooters for me. Stupid FPSs stealing the name...
And "Time Pilot on steroids." I think that might have sold me on it. Didn't hear about this game back in May.

That first stage reminds me of how much I want Hamster to bring Silkworm to the Arcade Archives.

It's definitely Uniracers.

I grabbed this game digitally when it was on sale. I was looking forward to the weapons update hoping it was going to give me some RC Pro Am Karnaaj Rally vibes. Nope. Kind of uneventful. Nice presentation though.

Finally went on sale so I snagged it. Fun addicting game. You know a game is designed well when you blame yourself for messing up.

@blockfight Restricter plates!

@X68000 Yeah, I mean that pic is when you take a warp. Not many people did that. The NES version even has a proper stage where they are statues shooting rings at you. Use that pic!

@Nathendo yep, I have one. But many helpful people here have informed me you can press start and select together to access the menu! No more urge to buy the new controller, but it still would be fun to have!

@kayleedayo Awesome news. Thanks! Good news for @Starrebirth too.

@Starrebirth Not sure what you mean. I'm using the 8bitdo adapter with a SNES mini controller and there's no way to get to the menu to get back to the game select and other options. You can't even get to it with a joy-con connected unless you plan on connecting and disconnecting each time you want to rewind a game or get to the menu.

@Starrebirth We're missing the buttons to bring up the menu though, not to mention to rewind in Super Ghouls N Ghosts. lol.

Glad they made it co-op like the arcade version. Probably a buy.

@PACO_PEREZ @Axelay71 I'm down with y'all! New style 3D games are a nice change of pace, but 2D IS gaming to me!

@Rutty_YT Yep, but you were talking about not being able to use it on My Nintendo. I was just saying you can use it on the eShop. Besides, a penny saved is a penny earned!

@Rutty_YT You can use gold points on the eShop.

@Axlroselm Lol Non-Contra. Just like Contra Force. So in a way it's still Contra-like!

I'm down. Now how about some SNES Star Fox and the Sin & Punishments. I mean if all anyone's going to do from now on is remake stuff, bring it on!

@Burning_Spear I'm beginning to think you're right. I went in assuming there was still a prize to reach for past the GB theme, but I can't find anything out there that confirms it. Waste of time!

Vs. Excitebike is so much better than the normal one. Some good music in it! I kept hearing a part of the song during a race and couldn't quite put my finger on what it sounded like. Finally realized it was Ice Hockey's in-game music.

...and I had a feeling it was used in World Rally. Sure enough. It would be nice to be able to play that game online again.

@WiltonRoots Just like the last version, I'll probably spend most of the time playing other people's courses.

@Abes3 Probably more of a run 'n gun?

Been on my radar since they announced it. I only wish Nintendo had a team to do the same for Star Fox and Stunt Race FX.

Welp, guess I'll be buying Sega Ages compilation carts.

@JRJalapeno Yes, at least that's what I think "vertical play" means.

Getting DK3. Why don't some games get listed even though they get announced in their own article?

Day one purchase. My favorite DK, probably because it plays like Galaga. I miss the arcade version. I'll be breaking out the Hori stick for this.

@Sneaker13 You got the prize already? I thought they tallied up the wins at the end of the event?

Small game? Tingle's Balloon Fight HD.

@UnbreakableAlex Using the WiiU Pro with the help of the 8bitdo adapter. Works like a charm! The latest firmware even enables rumble.

So when people say Bubble Bobble, do they actually mean Bubble Bobble or Bust-A-Move/Puzzle Bobble? Just wondering because I saw more Bust-A-Move machines in arcades than Bubble Bobble.

Someone needs to remake Contra Force. I liked that Gradius-style power-up system. Fix the slowdown and make it 4-player simultaneous. Anyway, this is bought Day One.

Wait, isn't there a Mario 3D World level that even has sleigh bells in the level music? Why isn't that listed?

I thought the new batch only had 5 games. Of the now 11, I still only know of Time Soldiers! And that's still fine with me!

This can't be a successor to OutRun unless it's a checkpoint-style racer. I hate laps. I'm all for a Cannon Ball Run type racer. Activision should make a new Enduro.

Looks fun. Almost seems like it needs some weapons— like RoadBlasters. I'd prefer it have checkpoints instead of laps, but it's not a deal-breaker. The graphical style is fine. I find the more realistic the driving is the more I want to fall asleep.
