The problem with reviving a long-dormant IP is that no matter how good the IP once was, the audience that still cares about it today gets smaller and smaller. You need to hook in a new audience to succeed, and it's easier to just do that with a brand new IP than a forgotten old one.

That said, the idea of dethroning Mario isn't as implausible as people might think. You could say that Mario is the Mickey Mouse of gaming... but how's Mickey doing today? He's around, but he hasn't actually been Disney's most important IP in a very long time. I could see a day eventually where Mario steps aside for whatever becomes the Frozen of this analogy.

But if that day arrives, it won't be Banjo. It won't be any retro IP revival, it'll be something new.

I don't understand why they didn't just save this for Switch 2. Would've been a day 1 buy with crossplay fully supported, but if they can't do that on Switch 1 for whatever reason then I'll pass.

The best way to make a new Punch-Out!! is by focusing on new characters. My one nitpick with POWii is that Disco Kid was the only new face in the entire cast.

Even some characters maybe shouldn't come back, that shouldn't stop them from making a game at all.

Despite its legacy, GB Tetris is one of the worst versions and I'm very annoyed to see it at the top of this list. The randomizer is bugged, it does not deal pieces evenly. It's also a lot slower, DAS is terrible. Just a worse version of NES, if you want classic rules play that instead.

TGM is the only good Tetris. All Guideline games are at the very bottom.

The real reason to prioritize classic 2D entries is that surely those ones will be able to hit 60fps.

@Axecon Rainbow Curse would be a difficult one to port - how would it work docked?

As for the 3DS version being fine, problem is that it's no longer for sale. eShop's gone.

They may as well salvage a few titles as filler ports to pad the Switch's final days. I could see this being picked as an easy one to port since they can recycle HD models and textures from other Switch Kirby titles.

A delayed alarm clock is eventually good, a bad alarm clock is bad forever - Miyamoto, probably

If you wanna draw a girl with boobs twice the size of her head, y'know what, fine, whatever, you do you.

But you submitted that for an all ages rating? And played the victim when you didn't get it? I'm calling bogus.

Please give us something you can actually get running at 60fps. Like any of the 2d classics that have never been released in the west before.

This has been a widespread criticism since the originals. I do not understand why it suddenly became blasphemous once IGN said it.

StreetPass was a fun novelty at the time, and I understand the desire to revisit that nostalgia, but I just don't think it could work today. It won't work for a device that won't fit in your pocket, and it won't work in an era where people aren't likely to bring their console everywhere because they already have a smartphone in their pocket.

Even if a lot of users may not be using emulators for the most ethical purposes, I believe it is essential that emulators exist. And I think it's important that they start development sooner rather than later, because later content gets delisted and becomes lost media.

I would rather have a world with both piracy and preservation than a world with neither piracy nor preservation.

This game ran at 60 fps on the Wii but is being downgraded to 30 on Switch. Make it make sense.
