First game in series gets a 7/10 review and labeled as too hard. 2 gets a 5/10 and is too easy. Each to their own opinion, I’ll still play and enjoy both.
@CodyMKW I take very good care of my equipment (and if you don't believe that, I don't care). The Pro Controller has had minor drift now and then, for over a year now. The built in software fixes it for a while (months usually).
For those that think the Pro controller doesn’t drift, guess again. My main Pro controller has had drift, which I had to correct via system tools. It hasn’t gotten bad enough to be unusable though, but it is there now and then.
@IceEarthGuard I prefer it if the actual preview video shows actual game play. If it doesn't, it is not a good indicator that the game is actually any good, IMHO.
System 1.7, that is more like it. I really, really miss the way I could connect with other gamers on the Wii, Wii U, and 3DS. Come on Nintendo, get with it. I have friends that own a Switch, and their main issue is that they can't message me when I'm online (within the Switch OS). And using a Smartphone App is not the solution. So dumb Nintendo....
Complaining about Pong! That puts the review in doubt for me, as this game is enjoyed by anyone (literally anyone can play without help, from the start). It is a classic, and yes crude by today's standard, but it is still enjoyable (it is to me).
That sad, there are things in this collection that just don't need to be replayed. But it is that way with all Atari compilations.
And while I normally don't like to complain about price (I really don't), I do think this is a tad overpriced for what it is. I will buy on sale.
Any great games from Sega’s library on switch would be great, similar to Hamster software. As for a mini-mega drive, as long as they make enough (no limited time frame). Plus a real system, not emulated (or emulated VERY well).
Reading through this, I still don't like to see a ruling based on 'belief', rather than fact (yes there are tapes, but I don't see a 100% factual thing). Maybe he did, maybe he didn't. In the end, does it really matter?
Really hoping this isn't a pay as you go thing (but who am I kidding). That'll kill it for me, till they make a Switch Crossing game (come on Nintendo, do it)!
Probably had these games in development for a while, and are releasing them just to get something out of them. Not their fault the Wii U didn't last long enough.
Otherwise, I'm glad for it, and will play a few of these. Still play my Wii U, and will for some time.
I don't see why folks are bashing this so much. If I didn't already have a new 3DS XL, I'd get this. I don't really use the 3D part of my 3DS XL at all, do 2D would be fine. If mine XL ever breaks, I'll move over (not Switch) to the New 2DS XL
Have to admit, truly miss Club Nintendo, which I got an occasional game from with my points (was always nice to see at least 2 games to pick from each month).
MyNintendo, got a few games, now nothing. Just new 3DS themes, and some discounts on games I have or don't want. And physical copies of games don't get me points either. Truly sad IMHO, and sucks to now start losing the points I earned early on (silver/platinum after 6 months).
Got this as it is on sale for the rest of 2016 for $.99. Frankly, was more impressed that I though, and rather like the game. Not Luxor, but still good in it's own world. Bit like Space Invaders and Luxor combines, IMHO.

Mouse support on Switch 2?
Re: Rumoured Plants vs. Zombies Remaster Potentially Releasing On Switch This Year
I’m super stoked, but EA ruins things. One can hope.
Re: Switch System Update 19.0.0 Is Apparently Causing Some Issues
Battery draining more, yes. Downloading issues, yes. Only since 19, never before.
Re: Atari Acquires Intellivision Brand And Rights To 200+ Titles
Good news IMHO. Intellivision games on modern hardware. And hopefully the Amico gets enough funding to get released.
Re: Jungle Book-Meets-The Apocalypse Platformer 'The Cub' Leaps Onto Switch This Month
Rather liked Golf Club Wasteland. Nice to see the story continue.

Re: Video: What Was Your First Video Game Ever?
Pong. I’m getting old.
Re: Former King Of Kong Billy Mitchell Is Finally Taking Twin Galaxies To Court
Go Billy! He does have a point, so good for him.
Re: Two Namco Classics Join Hamster's Arcade Archives This Week
I have no problem with the price. Nice to see both added to Switch library.

Re: Review: Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance - A Punishing But Pleasurable Vintage Dungeon Crawler
Don’t recall this game being tough, as I played it many times in the past.
Re: The Iconic Action-RPG Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance Is Out Today On Nintendo Switch
Oh yeah! I’ll be getting this. Great game.
Re: 3-In-1 Collection Space Invaders Forever Landing On Switch This December
What about Space Invaders: Invincible Collection?
Re: Nintendo Switch System Update 10.0.2 Is Now Live
@CodyMKW I take very good care of my equipment (and if you don't believe that, I don't care). The Pro Controller has had minor drift now and then, for over a year now. The built in software fixes it for a while (months usually).
Re: Nintendo Switch System Update 10.0.2 Is Now Live
@CodyMKW Actually, the Pro Controller does and can drift (mine does).
Re: Hamster Is Adding A Handful Of Data East Classics To The Arcade Archives
The real Burger Time (to wash the taste from Super Burger Time). I can wait!
Re: New Study Says External Issues Are More Likely To Blame For Gaming Addiction, Not Gaming Itself
These studies are such a waste. Move along...
Re: Switch Lite Teardown Suggests It Has The Same Drift-Prone Analogue Sticks As Standard Model
For those that think the Pro controller doesn’t drift, guess again. My main Pro controller has had drift, which I had to correct via system tools. It hasn’t gotten bad enough to be unusable though, but it is there now and then.
Re: Poll: Have Your Joy-Con Been Drifting?
My joycons are fine, but I have had a little drift on a pro controller (corrected with re-alignment).
Re: Pocket Card Jockey Dev Team Discuss The Chance Of A Sequel
One of my favorite 3DS games!
Re: Pinball-Themed Senran Kagura: Peach Ball Gets Western Switch Release This Summer
@IceEarthGuard I prefer it if the actual preview video shows actual game play. If it doesn't, it is not a good indicator that the game is actually any good, IMHO.
Re: Pinball-Themed Senran Kagura: Peach Ball Gets Western Switch Release This Summer
I like the way they show actual gameplay in the preview (not).
Re: Nintendo Forgot That You Can't Complete StarTropics Without The Original NES Manual
All the NES games should have a digital manual, period! Not everyone played the original, and having to google it is not a good way to go.
Re: Nintendo Switch System Update 7.0.0 Adds New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe Icons

Nigoro’s logo (at start of preview) uses Pick Axe Pete, from the old Odyssey2 - google it, its true!

Re: World Heroes 2 JET, Moon Patrol And Sol Divide Bring The Retro To Switch Next Week
Loved Moon Patrol back in the day (played it when it actually came out back then). Now I can play it anywhere in the house (or elsewhere too)!

Re: Nintendo Download: 29th September (North America)
Soul Axiom looks good, but will wait for review(s).
Slightly interested in Pikmin, but already have Pikmin 3, so not sure on this.
Rest, not for me, but a few themes yes.
As mentioned by a few, would like more VC games (especially TG16 ones)!
