Just like the 'Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light" 'Collector's Edition', what is so difficult about actually producing a NES cart? Limited Run and others make them regularly. Jack up the price a bit, fine, but I want a functional bonus item, not a hunk of plastic with no use. (Maybe you could use it as a new case for a damaged Zelda 1 or 2 copy)?
I've beaten Ganondorf, but haven't cleared the spirit temple or grabbed the paraglider. I remain hopeful that a glitch will be found that lets me do the Spirit Temple without it.
A plastic dust collector vs. controllers that replicate the original games' experiences? What the heck Ninty? If the cart actually worked, that would be cool.
If anything, the game needs an Anniversary update: Extend Zonai wing duration Hero Mode Master Sword upgrades Better fuse menus Fuse Weapons/shields with items from the pause menu.
Having the GC orignal, I wasn't planning on double dipping. I just don't understand why you wouldn't build the game with the 60 fps target from day one.
@ProfPotNoodle Back in Gen 3, there were a whole bunch of evolution acceleration cards. Rare Candy and Wally's Training especially come to mind. I expect more will show up in the next year or so.
I really enjoyed backseat gaming in Felix's OoT streams last year, I'm looking forward to more in Majora's Mask (when prompted, of course, no spoilers in chat unless he asks!)
In my opinion the game will be broken until the 2025 format when all the Pokemon-V variants will be gone. A core mechanic of the TCG is evolution. A Charizard-ex, for example, evolves from Charmeleon. Charizard-V is a basic that can be played straight to the bench. TPCI hasn't facilitated a true evolution-heavy format since ~2005, and I think the game is worse off when it is all big basics instead of leaning into one of the defining aspects of the game.
Annual reminder that "Nintendo Pennant Chase Baseball" was 100% completed for the GameCube in 2005 and cancelled last minute. There exists an alternate reality where Nintendo became the developer of the annual MLB game instead of Sony.
With 100% defined as "Caught Arceus and all of the bonus save file legends like Manaphy snd Darkrai", I have 100% the game. If 100% means "level 10 research tasks and all sidequests cleared", "Max inventory size", or even "ALL research tasks completed", then I have not.
For that price it should be able to freeze my enemies in place, conjure up ice blocks in puddles of water, lift anything metal at a distance, and grant me infinite bombs. Or at least be able to run Breath of the Wild.
Cute. Ogerpon was four differently colored Incineroar on the Island stage. Teerapagos is three Squirtle, with the second and third being larger, metal, then gold, like its three forms. The box legendaries have an electrified floor like the purple one's ability, and the starters each had a suitable replacement too. Was a cute set. I still miss Event matches.
Can I beat a dead horse and say it would be nice if TPHD came to Switch so people can use Wolf Link? (I'd skip it, being a Wii U owner, but it would be a suitable late-lifespand Switch title).

Spirit Train is the only set that would be an insta buy for me.

Re: Switch "Joy-Con Drift" Class Action Lawsuit Dismissed After Five Years
As it turns out, when a Nintendo offers to repair all Joy-cons free-of-charge, there is no damage that can possibly be argued.

Re: EA Apparently Exploring The Idea Of In-Game Ads In Traditional AAA Titles
@AgentGuapo
Pikmin 2's in-game ads were fun.
Seeing real static ads on racecars, or around arenas just makes them more accurate to life.

"Uncovered"?
That's an interesting codename.
No, I didn't read the article, only the headline, why do you ask?
Re: Random: Zelda Movie Director (Kind Of) Doesn't Want To Reveal His Favourite Game In The Series
I'll bet his favorite is Tri Force Heroes.
Good game, sure, but I question anyone who says it is his favorite.

Re: Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition Launches On Switch In July
@1UP_MARIO
This must be a new definition of "Deluxe" which means "Fewer games and features".
Re: Rumour: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom First Anniversary Surprise Planned
If anything, the game needs an Anniversary update:
Extend Zonai wing duration
Hero Mode
Master Sword upgrades
Better fuse menus
Fuse Weapons/shields with items from the pause menu.

I just came here expecting to see Metroid Dread and Tetris 99, and was not disappointed.
I'd add F-Zero 99.
Good list!
Re: Random: Kit And Krysta Show Off Their Immense DS And 3DS Collection
It still bothers me that FE: Fates Special Edition was incredibly limited and near impossible to preorder. All three paths should be on one cart.

I believe that is only the case if you beat the spirit during its initial appearance.

Re: Soapbox: As Splatoon's Online Wraps Up Nearly 9 Years On, How Does It Compare To Splatoon 3?
Splatoon 1's controls feel far better than 2&3, and the map on the GamePad makes it the best experience in the series.

Re: Poll: So, Have You Finished Pokémon Legends: Arceus Yet?
With 100% defined as "Caught Arceus and all of the bonus save file legends like Manaphy snd Darkrai", I have 100% the game.
If 100% means "level 10 research tasks and all sidequests cleared", "Max inventory size", or even "ALL research tasks completed", then I have not.

Yeah, it went from 3DS & Wii U, to 3DS, Switch and Wii U, to I think just 3DS and Switch, and now nothing. Interesting.
