I gave it an excellent as it was pretty much what i was expecting and hades 2 will be amazing. I am neutral on the virtual boy. I don't mind it I suppose but I was expecting a GameCube game to be revealed. Considering how slow these games release for nso in my opinion adding yet another system will make releases for the systems I care about even slower as resources are being allocated here.
While I would prefer a virtual console release where I own the game I do appreciate the opportunity to play this on switch with NSO. I probably will not keep the service after year one due to the price of the service vs the value offered but it is nice to have the option. I will say that The 3ds version made too many changes that messed with the core of the game, and I was not a fan of any of the changes.
My main complaint is the original version automatically saved the game every time you play the song of time whereas the 3ds version removed this in favor of owl statues. This was the core mechanic of the game and caused me to lose a lot of data thinking that I had saved the game when in fact I had not.
I also echo the previous comments about bosses and gameplay while wearing transformation masks being diminished. Also there are just other changes which don't make sense, like switching around the rewards of the great fairies, which in my opinion trivializes the work it takes to get all the fairies in snowhead. The bombers notebook was made far too easy as well.
If you never played the original you will love the remake on the 3ds, but I hope the original edition is the one that Nintendo continues to publish going forward.

Re: Talking Point: Would $499 Be Too Much For 'Switch 2'?
I could pay $500 if there is full backwards compatibility with my current switch library. Otherwise I probably won't buy at all even if it was $200
