Ahh that is too bad. I have always hoped for Dreamcast mini.

This is why emulation is king 'round here. Thanks for showing me that Sega, you saved me a ton of money.

I am no where near ready to move. I have no idea how they are going to get the majority of Switch players now to upgrade this time. So many games still eft to play, and I'm not made of money.

I intend to TRY skipping this gen and enjoy what I have, I wonder how they will lure me into "unavoidable", this time? Hmm....

'cause they always do, even with the dreadful Wii U which I had almost no fun with. In fact I disliked it s much I skipped Switch for 3 years into it.

@EarthboundBenjy

I'm curious of what is not so great about Street Fighter 30th?
I've loved it and it was my most played 2024 game. I have been through the ringer with finding a proper fight controller, but I think this one is great.

awesome. Pokemon is so entertaining, I am so glad I gave it aa shot starting with UltraSun/3DS. Very late to the party but the amount of gems I have played since then has been relaxing and a gaming highlight for each entry. And I love the heck outta Violet, 160 hours in so far and still as much to do as I want to!

@montrayjak

Funny enough I support Nintendo crushing them, and all copycat'rs for that matter. console-wide policy would help them all not JUST Nintendo in their own fight with a very similar thing.

Hmm, interestingly so, Nintendo seems quite worried about Palworld as their a copycat game.

Lol.

I almost bought this unpacking copy, thought it was DLC, and I would say, as a potential customer, they definitely intended to mislead too.

Been passing on this game since it was released in 2003 and this price is unavoidable and happy yo finally join the party.

@MrCarlos46

I know, and I have several work-a-rounds. A good ol' Nintendo pride and joy D-Pad would do my heart good. The WiiU pro controller was great. Switch Lite had a nice one as well. Snes Switch controller is ok but street fighter made it squishy quick.

Oh, the Hori Zelda Dpad joy Con was actually kind of decent, but had to handheld mode only. All they need to do is offer a real Joy Con with D-Pad and that's what I'd ask for this time.

I'm going to lose my mind if they don't do a proper D-PAD!! Ahhh!!

@AmyTheBrawler
It is on Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection for Switch.

I haven't had much interest, but just bought the physical at this dealmaker price! Looking forward to giving it a go!

@LadyCharlie

Filed or not, those mechanics already existed in Arceus for example, which was out for a year(ish) prior, while the clone game was being developed. That's how patent and trademark law work, it often comes down to first public use.

Opinions are cool as cucumbers all day long but the facts will sort this out and both companies will come out the other side of this with a clear separation of these brands, and maybe gamers will have a new IP that becomes more of its' own thing, as it should be. Can Palworld stand on its' own with aping Pokemon?

I totally expect and hope for a Mario Kart 8 DX version Ultimate DX to be near Switch 2 launch, with more modes, new characters and of course all the DLC + enhancements.

Day 1for me, been holding off on the DLC all this time, because I expected it would happen this gen.

@Djreisat

Weird... I'll keeping refreshing, thanks!

Edit, it is showing now! yay, only $40 too (expected higher).. I am all-in on this. .... passed on Collecttion 1 before but physical is getting rare so I'm grabbing that too.

I've been up and down that capcom link and see no place to place any kind of order at all. Anyone see where to order? I don;t see it on bestbuy, etc. either. Hmm I am in the USA.

I almost bought that trash when I saw it!

Good article.

Maybe holding off to release the complete Metroid Quadilogy as a steel book treasure for the ages.

Mario + Rabids Donkey Kong DLC ...finally getting back to this great exclusive.

Street Fighter 30th yet again while I hold oot for Capcom Marvel should finally arriving today.... what a long hard wait this was.

I pre ordered months ago from Best Buy.. does mine come with this?

@FaroreAbhorsen

I always holdout for the 3rd Poke releases, so I got the expansion pack physical for both Sword and for Violet. I am around 130 hours in Violet, doing post-game stuff but not yet even started the DLC. Doing a break for other games before going back in to do the DLC. Looks good to me though, but not played yet.

Several patches are usually out by the time I play so I get what I feel are totally playable and decent games. I love 'em as an adult gamer.

Massively underrated games and I love the heck out of Violet and the DLC.

Top 3 Pokemon game from me of the entire series.

By the time I played them, they look good, play pretty well and the world is huge and full of moving and objects and pokemon literally everywhere. Any console would have struggled pumping all that out at once, even during battles in the background

So far have 130 hours of fun with more to do in Violet/DLC.

Boss battles were impossible for me. Very frustrating and I have never beat this one.

Remaster with some 'baby-mode' would be good for us that are not great at those mega-battles.

Cool game, good concept and bought it day one as Prime was my favorite game ever back then.

Looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong time coming. I've uninstalled the game and moved on, most likely to not return. I guess I am only saying so because I feel like I am not alone in this.

Smash Ultimate DX with all DLC, all stages from all previous games, Smash Run!, Adventure mode in a melee game mode, a few brand new characters, other modes, who knows...

and whatever else we can toss in this kitchen sink version. Gameplay is slick and how much better can it get?

Upgraded graphics and rollback netcode and Smash as a series could basically conclude after that.

I still have years left in my Switch game time before I am ready or willing to upgrade. I bet there are millions in the same boat too... longer the Switch can float, the better it will be for S2!

Mario Maker 3DS is awesome and should be somewhere on this list.

@RubyCarbuncle
Really good point! I agree with you.
I was just thinking that too. I am in Area Zero now and it really looks like a nice art direction and the gameplay has a proper flow o it. I feel like I am in Jurrasic Park, but with pokemon, r maybe land of the lost.

Good point -I am glad I waited and got the expansion on the cart (at least on the cover, not sure if I had to separate download).

I just think some people put a lot of care into this game and maybe it was rushed out the door too soon.

Oh, also worth noting, I like the single player aspect of these games, I never have done multiplayer, and this Violet era is really good for single player gaming.

I am 120 hours into Violet now, and I totally love it!! Very underrated with all the grown up lil' kids internet trolling. Having a blast, I am glad I finally broke down and bought it. Really looking forward to Legends 2 on Switch 1!

What is a "rolling D-Pad"?

@WiltonRoots
What is a MD pad?
You use this on Switch, or other consoles?

Always looking forma better controller for fighters.

Well that is most certainly quite a loss of talent and care for Ubisoft!

Switch still pumping 'em out!!

What a fantastic console! I am no where near ready to end this cycle. Another year wait would be totally cool with me, in fact I'm sure I will hold off until the first iteration upgrade of Switch 2 (inevitable, right?) as it is.

Since cartridge is still months away, hopefully physical will come updated.

Hard to wait, but I will hold out.

@ChakraStomps
I also said amazing.
But yes it also felt like a chore, and I am glad you liked it.

I am REALLY looking forward to playing a Zelda game outside of the boring (but amazin?!) BoTW/Tears style.

I wish LoZ games could in multiple directions with different teams giving it their own spin without Aunoma involved at all.

@obijuankanoobie

Is Sonic Mania the best Sonic game?
of not, what is the best? Sounds like good hours, so it must be fun. Maybe I'll wishlist it.

@Jhena
Yeah it's the Step Brothers quote... 90% of my day consists of reciting lines from various movies I can' seem to escape from

I like the sentiment in the line anyway.

@JHDK

"never lose your dinosaur!"

Good! Give 'em heck!!

Rightfully so, too.

@Doctor-Moo

Could be a replacement Joy Con option. The third party one I have (the zelda one, Hori I think) is not even wireless.

In Fact, imagine joy con options going even further, like a Gamecube layout to slide into place.

Not their priority I am sure, but I would love this kind of thoughtful approach. And D-Pad is literally Nintendo, so I still hope for it. Switch Lite had a nice one on it

I sure hope to god they give us a proper D-Pad, Nintendo's true pride and joy!

@Skunkfish

Guess bundles were kind of an easy guess too

The rumors were true.... several new bundles. What were the other rumors that went along with those? Seems some real leaks actually happened.

60 hours into Pokemon Violet and barely scratched the surface of this underrated gem!

Wow what a loss... this looks like a really good developer for Switch games. I just wishlished 4 of their titles!
Gaming is crashing ....faaast.

@Erigen

Sounds good, but they do consider the "code in box' to be physical version of the game. I guess I will keep my order and if just a code it'll be going back, same day. What an insane practice this new gaming biz has become.For this reason and many more, it's gonna eat itself.

so there is no real confirmation that USA (or others) are actually physical then.

I'm about half second from canceling my pre-order then. Why wait for late November if it is just this nonsense?? What a scam.

I totally have not played anywhere near as much PS1+2 as I thought I would.

I would like to get back to it but I'm good with grabbing any more THPS games again.

Loved 3 on gamecube back in the day though

Sakuria desperately needs outside HELP for single player content. Spirit mode is not well done, messy, confusing, and overall NOT fun.

Single player mode is very important and he just needs to set his ego aside and get some help to make the next(the Ultimate DX version) and real classic for folks that do not want to play sketchy and sluggish online battles.

VIRTUA FIGHTER or bust, Sega!!!

RRrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
