Forgot about this. Will likely pick it up the next time it goes on sale.

Great article. As a 51 year old long-time gamer, I love replays of the classics. Puts me in my happy place.

@Polvasti Thank-you!

@Windbreaker1612 That’s my thought as well. Thanks.

Are these wider than the standard joy-cons, ie, will they fit in a standard case when connected to the Switch?

Cool! Love The Thing. Goodbye, $3.99.

This is bad news, for my checking account.

@Gamemoose That sounds like a smart move!

Loved it on DS back in the day. Now my eyes are so bad (O.L.D. syndrome) that a DS screen seems impossibly small.

I’m a minimalist by nature, so digital is perfect for me, but I love, grew up with, and appreciate the tradition of physical media, and hope it continues to be an option for players for a long time.

@LinktotheFuture My thoughts exactly. And it does look cool.

Thanks. Hadn’t heard about this. Will be picking it up for sure.

@MyUsernameWasTaken Well played. Love your comment and the one you were commenting on.

Really great article! I love this kind of piece on NL! Thanks.

I love Metal Slug! Like has been said above, if they would release any of the unreleased games on Switch, that would be amazing. A new metal slug would likely be day one purchased for me.

@Tasuki Oh, no!! I slightly misphrased my inconsequential comment about a silly game! Thank goodness you pointed that out to me!!!

Two weeks is nothing if it makes the game just a little better. Day one purchase for me.

Good review, thanks! Just downloaded it and will check it out later tonight. X-men arcade is the major reason I bought this, for sure, but am excited to try all the others. Nostalgia is a powerful force, indeed.

Childhood memories here I come. Day one purchase.

Awesome! Will be downloading this later today.

The footage looks great. This scratches all my retro brawler itches.

I hate you, Konami and Limited Run Games. I have retro game addiction issues. This is not fair.

Excited to check this out!

I will purchase almost anything put out in the Castlevania name. Definitely a sucker for the series.

So so excited to hear this!!

@NeonPizza Absolutely, they make it very easy and pleasant (hopefully!)) to access these games on the new systems. Love your commitment to the OG experience though, I’ve been considering getting a nes.

@NeonPizza Totally agree. These retro collections are almost irresistible to me from a nostalgia perspective. Especially when they’re well put together and reasonably priced.

Physical game media is quickly wrapping up its long run. The future is digital and many are sad.

Excited for this! Thanks for the preview!

Read the review and just pre-ordered it on iBooks. Thanks!

I’m pretty excited for this!

Welcome! Looking forward to seeing your work!

Thanks for this. Really good article.

Good article! I have a VB on pre-order and am excited to try it out!

Great article. Thanks for reposting.

Bought it. Enjoying some moderate online high score list success until those with magical powers take it over with impossibly high scores.

Completely agree with him and waiting for Hori to come out with one of their d-pad joycons like they did for Swtich 1. I bought two of those, Hori, sell me a Switch 2 version!!

I own them all. Slowly making my way through them.

In a world of way too many good games to play vs. time in the day, these improvements may make me pull the trigger on this.

I am excited by this! Will listen on the commute to work tomorrow morning. Video game soundtracks just chill me out.

Sweet! Excited for this!

Looks awesome. Right up my nostalgia alley. Will be buying this later today.

Nice! That’s a no-brainer upgrade at that price for me. Good reason to spend more time with the game.

Sad example of human greed and selfish. Too bad cause Pokémon should be about having fun and enjoying our hobbies.

Glad to hear it’s good! Will be downloading and playing after work today.

Better late than never? I’ve really been enjoying the game on my Switch 2 and honestly haven’t really been bothered by any of the bugs. I’m not the most discerning gamer though.

Dang. Hasn’t been a drop this good in awhile.

Fun article. Have been enjoying watching speedrun commentary videos the last couple years, especially Mario, Metroid, and Zelda ones. Definitely high-level nerdery at its finest.

Love it. Very stoked for this. Day one purchase.

Really good article! And good job keeping the comments classy, though sorry to see how many had to be removed. Gaming is for everyone!
