I'm old, and this game piqued my interest because the art style reminds me of the Trillium/Telarium games like Fahrenheit 451, Amazon, and Rendezvous with Rama that I played on the Commodore 64.
I'm so glad I played this when getting regular Street Passes was still a thing. Fighting other people's Shadow Links might be my favorite use of Street Pass.
I'm showing my age, but, based on the number of quarters I dropped into it, I would love to play Jungle Hunt again. Saving a maiden who is being cooked alive by cannibals probably means I'll never get the chance though.
These closures will be devastating for anyone who wanted to play the first four 2D Metroid games legally. I know it has probably been mentioned before, but it's worth repeating: the best way to play these four are as follows:
Zero Mission: Wii U Virtual Console Samus Returns: 3ds eShop Super Metroid: 3ds Virtual Console Metroid Fusion: Wii U Virtual Console
Uh, none. However, I will re-play several of them on 3ds. I understand why many people turned off the 3d on the 3ds, but many of the Sega games just pop with it on. Sonic 2 and Streets of Rage 2 might be the best 3d experiences on the system.
Ah, the green light of happiness! Here, in the US, any business that used AT&T for its public Wi-Fi also served as a relay point for Streetpass. So, going to McDonald's, Home Depot, Best Buy, or Barnes and Noble meant taking your 3DS with you. It's how I accumulated over 3,000 Street passes!
1) Nintendo seems have learned a lesson from the "New" 3ds mess that segregated the community because of games that ran like trash or not at all on the original model.
2) This allows people to ease into getting an updated system, although it's not necessary if you're content with your current set-up.

I would love to know what the hell happened to Despelote being on Switch.
Re: Everything Included In The Animal Crossing: New Horizons - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition & Free 3.0 Update
Yet another reason why I'm in no hurry to to upgrade(?) to Switch 2.
Re: Round Up: Everything Announced For Super Mario's 40th Anniversary
Decent Direct, but it further cemented in my mind that I don't need to upgrade to Switch 2 anytime soon.

Re: Switch 2's Jump From OLED To LCD Wasn't A Decision Nintendo Took Lightly
Jump? More like a stumble.
Re: Poll: So, How Would You Rate The Nintendo Switch 2 Direct?
With these prices, I think the time has come for me to finally make the "switch"...to Steam Deck.
Re: Review: Freedom Wars Remastered (Switch) - A Fair Reprieve For One Of PS Vita's Best
I was interested in this because I liked the Vita version. However, no cross play is a deal breaker for me.
Re: Best Nintendo Switch Puzzle Games
Um, excuse me, shouldn't Suika Game be on this list?
Re: Nintendo Shuts Down Online Servers For 3DS And Wii U
I have been playing video games for almost 50 years, and I don't know if I ever laughed as hard as I did playing Tri Force Heroes with randoms.

@dartmonkey
Update: after a sizable patch...Diamond Dynasty still doesn't work. Gavin, I authorize you to give it a zero.
Re: Feature: 33 Games We're Surprised Still Aren't On Switch
@Dualmask
Good call. For the longest time, I thought Atlus would eventually bring this over to Switch. It's basically the only reason I still play my Vita.

@rvcolem1
Sup, Yo?
I had the exact same issue with Asylum. Powering down my Switch, waiting 10 seconds, and re-booting fixed it.

Re: Review: Bahnsen Knights (Switch) - Perhaps The Best Yet Of The Brilliant 'Pixel Pulps'
I'm old, and this game piqued my interest because the art style reminds me of the Trillium/Telarium games like Fahrenheit 451, Amazon, and Rendezvous with Rama that I played on the Commodore 64.
Re: Best Nintendo Switch DLC & Expansions
If I was making this list, I would include Powerwash Simulator.
Re: Talking Point: Would You Like To See A Professor Layton Collection On Switch?
Yes, but I would rather have a collection of all the Level-5 Guild games that came out on 3DS.
Re: Best Zelda Games Of All Time
Tri Force Heroes often gets dissed, but I don't know if I've ever laughed harder when playing a game with randoms.
Re: Anniversary: Zelda: A Link Between Worlds Is 10 Years Old Today
I'm so glad I played this when getting regular Street Passes was still a thing. Fighting other people's Shadow Links might be my favorite use of Street Pass.
Re: Poll: Which Dormant Nintendo Franchise Would You Most Like To See Return?
Pilotwings, please.
Re: Super Mario Bros. Movie Voice Actor Keegan-Michael Key To Appear At The Game Awards
Meh. The only announcement I'm looking for is that Sports Story is dropping tonight.
Re: Feature: The Best Autumnal Levels In Video Games To Get You In The Fall Mood
Great list! For me, it's the Oak Manor course in Golf Story.

I wasn't aware of this and thanks! Do you have a link to that Reddit poll?
Re: Review: Taito Milestones - An Oddly Meagre Collection Of Coin-Op Classics
I'm showing my age, but, based on the number of quarters I dropped into it, I would love to play Jungle Hunt again. Saving a maiden who is being cooked alive by cannibals probably means I'll never get the chance though.
Re: 1,000 "Digital-Only" Titles Estimated To Disappear When Nintendo Closes 3DS & Wii U eShop
These closures will be devastating for anyone who wanted to play the first four 2D Metroid games legally. I know it has probably been mentioned before, but it's worth repeating: the best way to play these four are as follows:

Re: Poll: Which Sega Genesis / Mega Drive Games Should You Play First Via Nintendo Switch Online?
Uh, none. However, I will re-play several of them on 3ds. I understand why many people turned off the 3d on the 3ds, but many of the Sega games just pop with it on. Sonic 2 and Streets of Rage 2 might be the best 3d experiences on the system.
Re: Another Taito Game Joins Hamster's Arcade Archives This Week
I would love for them release Jungle Hunt or Jungle King, but I have a feeling they now view those games like Disney views Song of the South.
Re: Random: An Eager 3DS StreetPass Fan Spent A Day In New York, Got Zero Hits
Ah, the green light of happiness! Here, in the US, any business that used AT&T for its public Wi-Fi also served as a relay point for Streetpass. So, going to McDonald's, Home Depot, Best Buy, or Barnes and Noble meant taking your 3DS with you. It's how I accumulated over 3,000 Street passes!
Re: After Months Of 'Switch Pro' Rumours, Nintendo Officially Unveils The Nintendo Switch OLED Model
A couple of things:
1) Nintendo seems have learned a lesson from the "New" 3ds mess that segregated the community because of games that ran like trash or not at all on the original model.
2) This allows people to ease into getting an updated system, although it's not necessary if you're content with your current set-up.
Well-played, Nintendo, well-played.
Re: Best Nintendo Switch Football Games
Might check some of these out, but, for me, Lucio Ball on Overwatch is the best.
Re: Review: The Longing - Tedious By Design, And Incredibly Successful At It
I think the game is brilliant. Based on how the game is "played", it's the perfect example of an indie.
