I had no idea Nintendo was involved with this series. I also had no idea the 64 version was poorly received (critically). I LOVED that game. I played the h*** out of it! I bought a special, translucent controller, just for this game! 😂

I forgot about this. I wonder if there’s a list of all the ways Nintendo has repackaged their classics.

@DrDaisy I don’t know your age, but if you weren’t around for the 64 era.... Nintendo delays are not as bad as they used to be.

So much untapped potential in Sega.

I’m guessing the comparison is for content. Even if both games are going for two different audiences. Their both major franchises, so why not compare? There isn’t a whole lot going on these days, in terms of news.

I thought this was going to be a remake of the Dreamcast game. Then I realized that was Toy Commander. This looks cool, too.

I think production struggles will leave its mark on 2021. I’m talking in all aspects of life!

@ChromaticDracula if it helps, back in the 90’s, translucent raincoats were popular. Never got one, but I reeeeeaaaaly wanted one! 😂 The most I did was wear translucent watches. 😂

The translucent look reminds me of the 90’s. I loved translucent products. Consoles. House phones. Portable consoles. Controllers. Virtual pets! I could go on and on. I never went through a new Gameboy iteration without purchasing a translucent version! 😂

Does R-Type warrant the asking price? That seems steep. I loved these types of games back in the day. What I don’t remember, how long they took to complete. Maybe it’s the gameplay, but I’m thinking an arcade game, in terms of time it takes to complete the game.

Edit: I didn’t know there was a demo released.

I recently jumped on Mario + Rabbids because it was on sale. I didn’t realized, until later, that Ubisoft’s games always seem to be on sale! 😂

I would love to buy more of the Picross games. I loved the games on the DS and 3DS. I enjoyed Mario Picross. I currently have S3 on my Switch. When it comes to the bigger, more complex, puzzles, the rules are so vague. It feels like I’m playing Mario Kart. By that I mean, when I complete a puzzle, it feels like it’s by luck and not strategy. 😂 Even when I get help (something I’m not fond of doing).

The little man figures out how to get ahead, there’s an outcry, it’s put to a stop. A CEO, who’s not worth his weight in gold cuff links, makes a killing. There’s another kind of outcry. The feckless kind. We move on. So goes the cycle of life. sighs

Unless I’m overlooking it, where’s Mega Man 64? By the way, it doesn’t look that bad in 2021. I don’t know about the gameplay. It could be like the 90’s cartoon. In my imagination, it’s awesome! Watched one episode on YouTube...😐 I used to anticipate THIS on Saturday mornings! 😂

Useless the Switch in the background means, Rare Replay is coming to the Switch, I’m not interested.

I played this game for the first time, last year. It ended up being on of my favorite games, in the more modern era. I have to confess, I haven’t finished it. I was like, “whatever,” when I would see people saying it’s long. WELP....I have to agree! 😂 I got tired of the cutscenes, dialogue and the beeps and bops. 😂 I’m down to the wire, though. According to a strategy guide, I have a few more areas to explore. I’ll get back to it, one day. For now, I’m ok with the occasional Night in the Woods/ Mario Galaxy session.

I once questioned how companies made money off Game Pass. A small subscription fee, compared to a 50 to 60 dollar game. How is it possible? I remember somebody telling me, one of the reasons is Microsoft’s deep pockets. So, do they really just throwing money at developers? I don’t see Nintendo having to follow Microsoft. Their brand isn’t a world renowned. If Sony comes up with something and it’s a success, I think that’s when Nintendo should take notice. But it’ll probably be too late. Unless they come up with something for their next system.

I played Journey on the PS3. It made me cry, multiple times. I forgot about this developer, after awhile. I’m down to try this.

There was a time I would have jumped on this. Never played it. I remember all the hype and watching a documentary about the dude who made it. Now I have the Toad game. I’ll pass on this.

Labo compatible?! 😜

Didn’t know this game was still popular. Never played it. But from the outside looking in, it seems to have turned into the game equivalent to Space Jam or Time Square. Jam it with IP...IP...IP...

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Who is this ma outside the suit? He’s a walking corporate respond waiting to happen. I don’t get the love.

@Toy_Link I love watching vlogs on theme parks. Especially the parks located overseas. The fact that they have a lot of rides, not based on a poplar franchise, makes them more appealing.

I wonder what it’s like to be a huge Xbox fan in Japan.

@Toy_Link oh ok. I went four or five years ago. It was my first time, since the mid 90’s. I could think of a list of things they could have gotten rid of!!!! Starting with the Jimmy Fallon playback during the tour. I know it has nothing to do with what we are saying, I just needs to happen! 😂 I remember when they used to have an actual person ride with guest. 😕 Shrek 4D....Jurassic Park (I’ve seen the remake, still looks lame)....Minions....King Kong (bring back the old King Kong). Universal relies too heavily on screens. I still remember ET, Backdraft, a studio tour with no breaks because of nearby shows being shot. Cool set pieces from classic shows. So different now.

Where do they have the room? Did they close any attractions?

Neopets?! Club Penguins?! What about Virtual Pets and March of the Penguins?! 😜

I remember seeing a game with children on rafts, collecting trash. Anybody know what I’m talking about? I wonder how it turned out.

Why is the game being sold for a lot on eBay?

@Anti-Matter Maybe it’s a matter of society being groomed for these types of things. With phones being updated every year (with minor updates in between) and home consoles getting updated more often. Also, things like updates adding enhancements to games that are already released, also, the sports games that are released every year, with no drastic changes. Ditto for Pokémon games. All the remasters. Again, it feels like we’ve been groomed to except these things, over and over. So we’re ok with things like the last two console launches. TERAFLOPS?! I’m sorry. I can’t get over that! 😂

I miss being slack jawed, like when I saw the soon to be released Mario 64, in action, back in the day, Same goes for the last Bioshock game. Even more modern, Mario Odyssey. It bumped Mario 64 as my all time favorite game. I remember being in love with a game like Okami. I don’t feel excited about the stuff that’s been announced for this year, so far.

Another thing that baffled me. Star Wars fans being excited about ELEVEN new projects! Weren’t people just complaining about Disney’s treatment of the franchise a couple of years ago? 🤷🏾‍♂️

I think entertainment, overall, is dry. 2020 was a boring year. Nothing really exciting is going on. I still wonder what the game Shows, like E3, would have looked like, if there was no pandemic. Of course, it’s a matter of taste.

I never liked AC. The Mario compilation is cool but, I’ve played those games, back in the day.

I was baffled by the hype for the PS5 and the new Xbox. All of that excitement over teraflops and quality of life improvements. Where were the handful of killer games that were must own and exclusives? Making games compatible to the last generation systems and doing upgrades...meh. Made the next generation even less appealing.

I don’t know if the game industry will be effected but, where does entertainment go from here? I don’t see anything having much bite with people being so sensitive. Where’s the energy? The excitement? 🤷🏾‍♂️ I understand things have been turned upside down, due to the virus, but, outside of that, when things are in full swing, I’m worried about future content.

Can’t wait until this is a distant memory. Looking forward to the day somebody brings is up and I go, oh yea, I forgot about that!” 😕

I hope you guys do more back page articles. This was interesting. Thanks! ☺️

I didn’t see any mention of a Switch release. Why the review? Is Nintendolife revisiting old games?

FOMO? This is my first time seeing this. Bet I’ll start seeing it everywhere now.

@carlos82 ok. I thought Nintendo wanted the unsold copies back. It seemed weird to me.

What happen to the unsold copies of Allstars? If such a thing will exist by the first.

@TheLightSpirit I was a coaster fanatic growing up. When I would go to amusement parks, it was mainly about the coasters and thrill rides. That mentality stuck with me in digital form, too! 😂 I remembered getting some kind of compilation pack. It was RTC3 (after I got rid of the original. The bugs really hurt the game) and it included the water park and zoo expansions. I briefly flirted with the water park stuff and I never looked into the zoo aspect. I bought RCT 3 last year, on the Switch and it got me curious about other games like this. Maybe a Sim City type game. If you have any recommendations, send them my way!

@TheLightSpirit I agree. I always preferred the creator content from LittleBigPlanet players. It didn’t feel like people set out to create difficult levels, with no sense of the player in mind. In my mind, it’s something like the people who create coasters in Roller Coaster Tycoon, just to see them fly off the track and kill park guest. 😂

Don’t get the love for this dude. Everything he says is typical corporate stuff with an occasional quotable line.

@jump I recently bought Mario + Rabbids Kingdom (haven’t played it yet). These games have similar gameplay, right?

Lots of Sonic announcements, except for the one thing that made him a household name. 🤷🏾‍♂️

@BloodNinja I feel like I’ve seen you comment on YouTube videos. I think on popular Switch channels. It’s the way you end your comments. It’s always stuck out to me! I saw you comment on a video and I was like, “I think that’s him (or her)!” 😂 I hadn’t seen a comment from you, so I forgot about it. Your comment reminded me! 😂

Edit: these types of articles, about this company, seem to come out every couple of years. Layoffs after record profits. The big wigs still getting their bonuses. What I don’t recall seeing are the severance packages and healthcare for a year. I could be wrong.

Hey, universe! Can you PLEEEEEEEASE make 2D animation in vogue again! Im talking full length movies! I’m so tired of all of this CGI. No more stories with wisecracking sidekicks. Dialogue full of puns. No trio of little creatures or babies. Don’t be afraid to paint cities or countries in a negative way, if there’s “clean up” at some point. How about some trailers that are artful. That stirs emotions. Raises questions. Not make me tap my foot over a pop song, or, more likely, have me rolling my eyes. While I look at an onslaught of jokes. STOP WITH THE MOVIE POSTERS OF THE CHARACTERS BLOWN UP, WITH A PUN OR SOMETHING “HIP” ABOVE THEIR HEADS!!!!

It feels like, during the 2000’s, CGI was making some great improvements, story wise. There were a lot of movies that walked the line of being for everybody in a family and did it well. Now.... 😐

There should be more to it. The Hot Wheel sets I had, back in the day, had loops! A Mario Kart set and you can curve the track or go up and down. Meh!

Still haven’t picked it up. I’m currently playing Galaxy. Even more fun today than it was when I played it on the Wii. Speaking of, a remaster of the Wii Mario RPG, would be a day one purchase! I LOVE that game! I didn’t know people despised it, until Origami King came out. I never play the GameCube entry, so I can’t compare. All I know is that it was one of my most memorable Wii experiences!

I thought this game was forgotten not long after launch. It did have some DLC, right? I didn’t know about this, but I remember thinking that it felt like Nintendo was trying to create a new franchise. Maybe what happened with Arms is the reason why we end up getting editorials like the recent one about lack of new ideas.

Their sitting on a HUGE number of IP’s. They created a well received Sonic game in recent years. And they need to ask the people what they want? Good grief!

The Mario 3D compilation has already dropped out of the top 10! I thought it would be there until it was no longer available.

It’s nice to see the PS5 pick up some steam. I don’t own one, or feel the need to get one but, competition makes these types of articles more interesting to read. I would love to see both systems battle it out for the #1 spot. See which exclusives have more pull, when it comes to getting more people to purchase the system. Especially when the Pro hits.

Only once in my life have I heard of somebody wanting to go to an Arby’s. It was almost twenty years ago, when I was in high school. I’ll never forget that! 😂 They opened one down the street from my house. Lasted a couple of years.
