Man I love this game, played it quite a bit, and loved the Dimensional Shell shock DLC too! I don't really stray from the turtles though especially since I know zero about the lure, but I'm so happy they are still supporting it!

@MirrorFate2 You aren't wrong, and I don't expect it but it is on my wish list. It's highly likely that if they did announce a new one it was also land on the more mediocre end of the spectrum. I try Superstars every once and a while to see if my opinion was wrong, but it just isn't anything great.

In the mean time I'm excited for Generations and the new Shadow stuff too.

@msvt I'd say so. I like 1,2, 3&K alot, especially 3 stand alone, but Mania just has so much to offer. Tons of zones, an insane soundtrack, 6 or 7 ways to play, depending how you count, and the encore mode with the DLC. Plus tons of unlockables encouraging completion. It's way good.

My best buddy tried it out and says he doesn't get it, so I know it's not for everyone, but what game is? Catch it on a sale, and try it out! Deku Deals says it pretty regularly drops to $8 so it's not too crazy an investment.

Sonic Mania is 7 years old, Please oh please let someone who cares do a 2D game. There are so many fans that make pretty bomb fan games.

Super Stars for me was a pretty big let down, whereas I have 155 hours in Mania. When it's good it's good. I am looking forward to the new Generations title but have a soft spot for the Genesis and Advance titles.

I don't have other means to play this. What a bummer. Will you keep us up to date about any patches to performance?

@Pak-Man pac-attack is an under appreciated falling block game. That's my only comment.

I've been so excited for this, glad to hear it has good reviews! I do have a great backlog, so I'm hoping to just wait to get my physical copy in February. Hopefully the switch release isn't super glitchy or anything.

I love my CRTs! I got a 11" and a 20" for a lot last year for $15. I love not having the black bars on my screen for retro gaming. Also the pictures look better and sometimes brighter? It's the weirdest thing. You can just tell these games we're built to play on those monitors.

I think that there should just be a red phone in their office for when times are getting hard where they can call Sega and say they'll make another Sonic game.

I wouldn't want to be stuck doing the same thing my whole life either, but it's hard to deny the love and craftsmanship of Mania. I'd love if they did another, and help pay their staff!

Not saying Sega is made of money, but at least they'd be putting that money to good use.

This reminds me of the Sega Saturn announcement, then the PS1 came out and just said their substantially cheaper console.

Nintendo just needs to have a 2 minute direct that just says the price.

@konicstar if that's possible I'd be down. Not sure how they could "enhance" existing games but that'd be sweet.

I mean, I know I'm not getting rid of my switch, but it'd be really nice! Especially the e shop and other downloaded games, id much rather not lose easy access.

Way fun, I don't know Reggie too well, but I always feel like he did good PR for Nintendo, and I guess still is.

It's also just a good feeling coming across something you haven't seen in a while.

Thanks for the update! Money already spent in my book. I've like never gotten a delux edition of a game but I might? Either way I'm picking up a physical copy. I'm grateful my backlog is big enough that I'll be quite content until February easily. Only thing is I am moving in December. Do we have any idea when you can't preorder anymore? I'd rather not put it off, I'm just not certain where I'll be next year.

I would try a demo. The game store I went to growing up had awesome terms working there whose opinion I really respected and they had told me that Epic Mickey want worth the time. But I never field an opinion myself, so starting to build one for free would be neat.

You know with them mentioning it every time it would make sense to me that they are going to have a direct that is about it specifically. Like imagine if the next direct the have they don't give the disclaimer and then they don't talk about it, people would wonder why they didn't "temper their expectations" that time.

@-wc- I'll have to check those out sound neat!

Finally saved up enough to pick up a physical copy, hopefully it'll be here in a week or so. Good article, I think it's true that it totally makes you feel that moment of losing your innocence really well, for kids but totally brings me back to innocence as an adult somehow.

@rvcolem1 agreed, like when Kraid came back it was neat since last we saw him was in super Metroid (or zero mission depending on how you count it) but even then, new enemies are where it's at.

@MurkyDawn agreed. If I understand it right it sounds like Marvels What if series. So I'll probably only tune in to the megaman episode. And maybe the pacman one.

I don't think I've ever noticed this game before, but from the trailer I don't think it'll be added to my library. I bet it's rough making a game solo for 6 years. Just unfortunate that it isn't a product I'm not interested in.

Sweet! I've been looking forward to this for a while. I'll happily wait for a physical cart. I've been way into retro gaming lately anyways so I can keep myself busy in the mean time.

Still my most played game on switch with now over 155 hours. Love this game to death.

@JohnnyMind I'm pretty sure I saw on Deku Deals you can preorder through Play Asia a physical cart. I've never bought from the before but I too hope for a physical copy, it looks so good!

I had this game growing up and legit did not understand what was going on. I didn't have a manual for it I don't think, but that Japanese box at makes it clear. Would have helped a younger me for sure

So my membership renewed this morning, I'm gonna make a call tomorrow bout this, most standard retailers would honor it. Hopefully that's something that'll happen here!

I got the first one back in like 08' so excited with the final count down commercial, but I didn't enjoy it really. I traded it in pretty soon after and never played another one. If there are any notable entries I'd be open to hearing about it but I'm not heartbroken.

@JohnnyMind ah! That'll happen, well thanks for letting me know!

@JohnnyMind where'd you set your preorder? Would not mind a discounted physical copy.

I've been wanting a physical cart of super Metroid for a while and finally picked one up yesterday. I'm not even an hour in but, I feel like I'd normally have died alot by now and have been pleasantly surprised that I'm still at zero! Mother Brain will set me straight when i get there, normally die quite a bit.

They look awesome, I'd love to try em out some day some how. I have a SNES and a Genesis controller, I feel like they cover my bases pretty well for any retro switch needs.

Something I've wanted is the game before a link to the past in the time line between that and Ocarina of time, where link loses. So maybe a game that leads up to that could be cool?

@ScalenePowers agreed! They hardly ever let me down!

@ScalenePowers that'd be different. But I'd be down. It looks like from the trailer the Echos are kinda sentient. But maybe you slowly get to fight as them?

Either way pretty much all Zelda games are Zelda telling Link what to do which would be on brand and also the "wisest" thing to do. Send link to fight the dude that keeps capturing you. I wouldn't go if I was her.

I know I was worried about how fun the game would be just using Echos, so it'd be pretty cool if there was like a world swappy mechanic between the two of them.

I've seen people ask for 50/50 but I'm hoping it's just terrible marketing and it's more of a Link than Zelda game.

Regardless cool news! I'm hopeful about the game regardless of how much Link to Zelda gameplay there is.

I got a gba copy of zero mission for Christmas and just got around to playing it and actually beating it yesterday. I died once from Mother Brain but that was my only death.

It is a hard fight but, I don't know why I never looked at it as unfair. I've always been able to beat it pretty easily. Super Metroids Chicken Mother Brain does give me a run for my money. And the crazy Chozo statue before that.

@WaveBoy to be fair, I feel like any game that has you ship wrecked would probably start out like that. Maybe the sword on the dock/ beach was also a little samey, but same kinda thing, if he was a sword guy the wreck.

I'll add it to Deku deals, when it drops to a dollar or 2 I'll probably pick it up. I loved Gato Roboto and have found myself revisiting it quite often, since it's just an hour or two to beat. I'd love a fun Zelda like equivalent.

GBA is cool. What a guy. I really need to learn how to program more.

BS Zelda would be awesome.

My dad was kind and for Christmas got me a Zero Mission cart but when I opened it, it was a repro. I was able to get it sent back for him and found a real one at a retro store a few days later.

I feel like DKoldies exists for parents like mine that don't know. You end up paying more but you do get what you're after.

@Maubari I feel like I've noticed that on a few games myself recently, where maybe there needs to be different standards based on whether it's Indie or AAA or something. Do you know of any sites that seem more accurate to check game ratings?

@slowpoke_tail oh! I totally missed that! It worked this time, thank you!

So excited for this one, definitely could be my game of the year.

Dang, finally a skin I think is cool! The subscribe button isn't working right now unfortunately. Ill try again tomorrow.

I mean currently I'm no eager beaver for the next console, I've got plenty to do to keep me busy. If the software line up is insane I may preorder but I'm fairly certain I'll just be grabbing it after that fact.

My top is A Link Between Worlds. Most played game on 3DS. The replayability is insane. But I would also like Crono Trigger since I've never played it. Also that Disney collection of Capcom games also sounds pretty sweet. Would not be upset if I spent money on that as well.

So I was really hoping I'd get this survey too when I saw the article and for Father's Day my wife got me a SNES controller, which was sweet, on my account and she just told me that she was asked to fill out the survey and she turned it down haha.

Everyone who does get to participate tell them I would like to own my retro games! Please and thank you.

It almost seems like for Metroid Prime it was just a typo they had to live with and vowed to never make that mistake again.

I love the idea of 3DS remasters. Just wanted it to be A Link Between Worlds or Kid Icarus. I didn't really enjoy Luigi's Mansion 2 on 3DS. I rarely trade in games and I totally did with that one. Hopefully this is just a lesson learned and they port other 3DS games.
