Looks great, I'm not surprised.

I am more interested in seeing how small the text is in handheld mode, though. lol

Button mapping should have been available from day ONE, no excuse for that, Nintendo.

CRT filter is nice and arguably also should have been included day one, but whatever. Glad to see it here. LOL. (Granted, I don't know exactly what technological steps go into making this feature possible, so I could be totally wrong about it being possible on Switch 1)

Rewind is the only thing I can really understand being sorta resource-intensive and maaaaybe not possible on Switch 1, but even that seems like a stretch.

$30 is way too much for a digital remaster of the first game alone. If it was a bundle with 1 and 2, $30 would be more reasonable. The Spyro and Crash collections had 3 games each, and launched at $40 if I'm remembering correctly.

I'm going to be waiting on a sale for this one.

@nib0 Fair enough, it's a good point to mention. Achievements definitely do add something to the experience as a whole to games, and can certainlyfactor into my decision to purchase a game sometimes.

I do wish the Switch had implemented them like all other consoles and launchers at this point lol.

Taking off points for Switch games not having achievements is a bit silly, especially at this point in the console's life cycle. It's expected by now.

Regardless, this game looks interesting and I might check it out when it goes on sale.

I think it looks great. Very faithful to the original. Not quite as pretty as the remaster of the Spyro games, but a little more faithful to the source material.

I think it would be cool if they let you swap between the old and new graphics with the press of a button, like the Halo Remaster collection did with the first two games,

Hopefully this means they'll eventually get around to Revenge of the Sith Remaster!

I definitely don't see 'Metroid Hunter" ever being a thing.

Shameless cash-grab. This should have either been 1.) A free update to the base game, or 2.) Bundled with both Yooka-Laylee games.

As-is though, this just comes off as a greedy and needless upgrade. I'm sure it will be worth it if it's your first time playing the game, but I really don't see many players returning to this if they've already played the original and it costs any more than $30. And even that price point is a hard sell.

The original game was sorta flawed, for sure. But it is still a wonderful and entirely playable game.

I noticed the post-mission cutscenes started playing in BF2's campaign as well, so that's good!

idk, for what it's worth, I haven't run into any of these issues playing the single player campaigns or Galactic Conquest. I have not dipped my toes into the online multiplayer yet, but I've beaten the first game's campaigns and am halfway through the second game. About 10-12 hours of gametime so far with no noticeable glitches or issues, except for the option for inverting flight controls being absent. But the game is perfectly playable for me.

$35 is definitely a little high, and the 33GB size is pretty insane to me, but for me, it's still worth it in order to play the game on the bus.

@Baler haha totally fair point! To me, Eternal played more like a self-aware video game with the platforming sections and chaos, and 2016 took itself a little more seriously and was more atmospheric. I enjoyed both for what they were! The over-the-top campiness of Eternal just clicked a little more for me long term tho.

@Baler personally, I loved Doom 2016 when it launched. (I also replayed it in 2020 before I purchased Eternal, and still found it immensely enjoyable). But When I played Eternal, It immediately wowed me. To me, just about everything in Eternal was a huge upgrade from 2016 and the game was more fun to me. Also vastly more replayble, imo. (For reference, I played through both on PC, and haven't touched the Switch ports of either yet)

But yeah, I;ve heard that some people still prefer 2016 over Eternal, as they go after quite different gameplay and stylistic choices.

The design's pretty ugly, especially that Pro controller. And it doesn't even come with the game?
It's gonna be a hard no from me, dawg.

Anxiously awaiting the Metroid Prime 4 one though.

It's an alright-looking set, but the Mobgoblin and King builds are my favorite part of this.

I dunno, those joycons are a little ugly if I'm being honest

Wave Race 64 maybe?

I thought that downhill snowboarding one in MK8 was pretty fun in that there are no traditional "laps", it's all one long run down to the bottom.

Steam version is only $50 instead of $60 on other consoles.

@SportyMarioSonicMix

1.) I don't know
2.) I don't know
3.) I've never played Super Nintendo Power Rangers, so I can't say
4.)I don't have access to my 3DS right now but according to Google, 53 blocks.
5.) 7/10 fun but obviously dated.

Google really is your best friend.

EDIT: if you're making a series, shouldn't you actually be putting in the work yourself instead of asking other people to do it for you...?

@SportyMarioSonicMix

dude this is a $3.99 game on the eShop. Give it a shot for yourself, nobody is gonna type out all of that info you're looking for 10 years later. Lol. Worst case scenario you're out 4 bucks.

Solid list. Wuhu Island courses from 3DS are on the top of the list for me personally. I'd also love to see Mushroom City from Double Dash.

I just hope they change DK Mountain to be a little more narrow like it was in Double Dash as opposed to how wide it was in MKWii. I understand there are 12 people now, but c'mon.... it's so wide the perilous parts from DD are no longer anywhere near as dangerous, lol.

This looks very good. Everything looks so pretty. I don't know if I'll be able to justify getting the Switch version, though.

I think anyone who's offended by this, especially the "turning the frogs gay" part does not understand the context.

Also kudos to Nintendolife for yet another shameless clickbait article. Bravo!

I'm interested in this. If it turns out to be good, I'm worried that the Switch version won't compare favorably to the next-gen versions of the game. Kinda wished they would have either gone Switch-exclusive or nextgen-exclusive.

Excite Bots for sure! Definitely SIn & Punishment and The Last Story as well.

That's more in line with what I expected out of the Mario sets. Good on them for making a nice Sonic set! Hope Nintendo does simple sets like this, geared more toward its adult fans.

I've been curious about Salt and Sanctuary and Blasphemous. I know Blasphemous has an eShop demo.

can you please charge that DS? It's giving me anxiety

Well, that's a lot of nintendo coins at least! lol

I would never refer to Metroid Other M as a classic. But I also don't HATE the game. It had long, monotonous, and often awkard dialog. It had somewhat awkward controls (for a 3D game), and it had meaningless bursts of "spot the hidden object" first person sections. It was very linear, and had none of the exploration-based gameplay of previous entries. yet somehow, the beautiful graphics and mostly engaging world led me to play to the end. I'd say it's worth a playthrough, if only to experience what is probably the worst mainline Metroid game. But overall the quality of production values IS there. It just never had that strong of a vision in regards to the Metroid universe overall. But I don't hate it. Just doesn't exactly FEEL like a Metroid game. If that makes sense.

It might actually be nicer if they do each game individually if Nintendo actually pays them attention they deserve and fully update every aspect of the graphics, sorta like they did with the 3DS remasters of the N64 Zelda games. Of course I hope they don't change too much aside from updating the graphics (Majora 3DS, I'm looking at you...), but I'd happily pay for an OoT3D-esque remake of Prime 1.

@arekdougy Yeah personally i don't usually re-map controls in most games because I like to play them the way the developers intended. (ironic considering I'm making this argument about playing the game on Classic controller when it was originally designed for N64...but still) lol. But yeah I think the option should definitely be available for anyone who does like to re-map controls for sure. Just not a deal breaker for me, especially because I do plan on getting a N64 controller when they become available.

For those of you complaining about the controls on NSO... is it any different than playing on a Classic Controller Pro on the Wii VC? Because that's the only way I've ever played it and everything worked fine for me.

I bet the next console is going to try and corner the VR market again. LOL.

But seriously, if this Nintendo account doesn't transfer over with all my games and everything, I might be done with Nintendo. There's only so many times I'm going to re-purchase SMB3, Nintendo. (I realize VC is a subscription now, but whatever... you get the idea, heh)

Ha, that's pretty cool actually.

Weed-picking is tedious, but at least you can use them for crafting and getting Nook milestones up to a certain point, so I think I'll stick to doing them myself. Nice to have the option, though!

I loved this game the first time I played it on Wii Virtual Console. I am really excited to replay it. I'm not going to be getting NSO Expansion pack until I can manage to get ahold of a pair of N64 controllers, though.

The sequel on Wii is also really good. I'd love to see that and other Wii and GCN games make it to NSO one day. Quite frankly, I would have loved if they re-released the second game on Switch with this game bundled in as a bonus for a physical title.

Most of these Mario sets do nothing for me, and this batch is no different. I like Legos in general, I feel like adults would be more interested in larger-scale Lego versions of familar locales, like Luigi's Mansion itself or Peach's Castle or something with standard minifigure models for each character instead of these playset-inspired themes they've been doing. But if kids (or other adults, lol) are enjoying these, then more power to them! Lego is clearly making a profit from this series so I'm glad to see Nintendo get some publicity either way, these sets just don't do much for me personally.

Interesting choice, picking a Switch game you don't even have a review for...

I think the biggest selling point for this thing has gotta be the new improved kickstand. Seriosuly, what an upgrade!

Still don't see myself getting one anytime soon, but it's nice feature to see. The original should've been able to adjust angles, at the very least.

This definitely grabbed my interest, I am wondering how it compares to the PS5 version however. I'd love to get it on the switch to play on the go, but the overall graphics and small details of the other console versions seem so delicious that they may be hard to pass up.

It'd be nice to finally have a console GTA on Nintendo consoles, I'd hope for a port of IV and V next.

I've only played Aria, but I would definitely be down to play the other two! (And Aria again lol)

yOu WoUlDn'T dOwNlOaD a CaR, wHy WoUlD yOu DoWnLoAd A rOm?!?

Good video, gameplay footage next time please!

A racing game with 99 other people seems interesting to me. The rest on this list... not so much. Although Stardew Valley adding a leaderboard for yearly money and other various stats would be cool.

Sounds more like artificial inflation of the game's runtime than the game "respecting the player's time" to me

oh god...Bunny day /horror

Glad to see they didn't forget about this game! Any word on the multiplayer options for this game? I haven't played a Lego game since the original Complete Saga so I have no idea how multiplayer works in these games nowadays. Hoping for splitscreen and online, lol.
