Love the art style and I am always down for a good puzzler. The strong reader responses here coupled with the NL review have me pretty well and sold on this.

I am a coward, and find zombies especially upsetting (context: Sean of the Dead proved too much for me), so I have never played a Resident Evil game. This is probably the only one I'd consider picking up, but I'd probably just as well opt for the Wii or GC versions from a bargain bin. At any rate, too many other games (that won't scare the bajeezus out of me) that I need to play first.

The announcement of games 20-30 for the Mega Drive Mini caused me to pre-order that, so I can't in good conscience buy Bloodlines twice in the same week by picking up the Castlevania collection here (...but I probably will later; maybe next week!).
Curious for the NL review of Sonic Team Racing / AC3, so I'll hold off 'til then. I am not a fan of zombie games (even the zombies in Conker's Bad Fur Day scared the bajeezus out of me), but otherwise I would be sorely tempted to pick up one of the RE remasters.

WILEY WARS!!! Wow. What a list. Can’t believe I’m going to have to buy Sonic for the twentieth time, but this is getting to be too good of a package to turn down.

Really cool article and Twitter thread.

This is so cool!!!

MK 8 with family, Golf Story, Super Bomberman R, and whole mess of Genesis games solo.

@RyanSilberman I have had similar thoughts. I love my Genesis (still play it), and really want Sega Ages to do well. But I have yet to buy a single one (though I am probably picking up Virtua Racing this weekend, once I check the ol' piggy bank) because when I thought long and hard about it, the Genesis collection was so much of a better value buy (I LOVE the collection).

Now if they'd start putting Saturn and Dreamcast games into the Ages line-up, SIGN ME UP! Or even Genesis games that are not in the Collection — but with the Mini coming down the pike with some genuinely exciting new inclusions not found in the collection (Bloodlines! Earthworm Jim! Ecco!), I suspect Ages will need to shake it up even more to attract market attention.

Wow very cool (and generous) promotion. Thanks to QG and NL and kudos in advance to lucky winners!

Never played this series. Probably would give it a shot.

Various Sega Genesis Collection titles (Columns, Columns III, Sonic 1, Sonic Spinball), World of Goo (Switch version), Worms WMD, Xeodrifter, and Golf Story.

The Sonic movie is going to make the 90s Mario Bros movie look like Citizen Kane.

Conflicted emotions about this.

Just started Bleed 2. So far even more fun than the original, and controllers are tighter. Plus starting with the katana is a blast.

So excited to get to return to smash for the first time in a while to beat Classic mode again with a new character! And stage builder sounds dope.

This looks incredible. I have been waiting for the NL seal of approval, but now that it's in and resounding, I will definitely pick this up.

Color me intrigued.

Well guess I’m getting Labo now!

Working all weekend; but during my breaks, other than watching my Seagulls opt to fall rather than stand against Southampton (ugh), West of Loathing (opposite of ugh!).

Another unbelievably awesome looking retro platformer from (in my opinion) the modern masters of the genre.

Loved the first outing. Picked this up, but have been too busy with work to give it a try yet. Glad to see it seems to have met (or even exceeded) expectations. Can't wait to give the sequel a spin.

@Mamabear yeah, this game is incredible. Every aspect of it is so well done—art, story, music, etc. Wonderful balance of humor and pathos. I’m the cow puncher for my first go through, but this game has so much replay value, I will definitely come back. Almost picked snake charmer.

West of Loathing, Steamworld Dig, Grim Fandango, Golf Peaks, LA Noir, plus leveling up some spirits in Smash. Maybe some original Metroid.

Original was such a surprising gem of a game. First game I beat on Switch. Will probably download this immediately after work.

I passed on the original, but was tempted. I will not be able to resist the Ocarina's call, as it were.

WHAT A NINDIE!

@NotTelevision I have made this point to several people today. Completely agree. Steam is also in for a potential world of hurt.

Finally 100%ed Smash (somehow exceeded the hype — ultimate, indeed!, Sonic Generations (underrated—very enjoyable game, albeit with some tedious grind and ODIOUS buy mercifully sparse cutscenes), and Another World (glad I played it from an “appreciating gaming history perspective,” but I did not like it). So my new rotation (which I’m loving) is:

Metroid (Wii virtual console)
Steamworld Dig (Switch)
West of Loathing (Switch)
Grim Fandango (Switch)

Any and all N64 ports are welcome (well, maybe not Superman). KEEP EM COMING!

I will never do anything as cool as this in my life. Period, full stop.

This is atrocious

Bane voice: The tire rises.

Continuing to churn through the one-player side of Smash; but also polishing off Nihilumbra.

This looks like a nice relaxing-yet-challenging puzzler to unwind with. And the price is right!

(I’m exaggerating, but it’s at least worth a gold rupee.)

I’d pay pretty much anything for this game. I can’t wait.

That baseball game looks pretty fun, actually (says one of the like 7 people to buy Super Baseball 2020; and one of the 3 people to actually love it).

THIS WAS THE GAME I MOST WANTED REMASTERED!!!!!!!!!! I somehow missed this as a kid. Wow. It would be impossible to be more excited!

WOW does this game look amazing!

Smash + Sonic Generations. Probably Another World (just to beat it, finally) and Nihilumbra, too.

In terms of portable ports, I’d love for Nintendo to make a portable Zelda collection for Switch — or a top-down Zelda collection, better yet!

The Capcom titles would be trickier to get a hold of, I’m sure. But I missed out on all of these games (Switch is my first portable console since Gameboy, more or less), so I’d love to give them a go!!!

Merry Christmas, NL! Thank you for all the great work you fine people do. Here’s to another great year for Nintendo and NL in 2019.

Yes yes yes—please come to Switch, Tekken!

(You, too, Soul Calibur.)

Yay! Thank you, NintendoLife! What a lovely Christmas surprise—like finding an N64 under the tree all over again!

Good god. There is so much of EVERYTHING in this game!!! I foresee many, many hours of my life vanishing into the Smash ether....Glory.

Also, I claimed MyNintendo coins for my pre-ordered physical game but Nintendo hasn’t emailed me a Piranha code. Is that not happening until closer to him being released in February? Did others get their codes?

Yes yes yes!!! So excited for this release. Even if it’s bad. I am a die-hard TJ&E fan (their inclusion in Mega Drive Classics are a major reason I’m considering ponying up despite me owning many of the games in collection on at least 2-3 systems).

Who wants Skyward Sword to Switch?!?! That is as close as 3D Zelda comes to a mediocre title (i.e., yes, still great, but markedly less so!).

Please either make a new game or port a different Zelda instead. Such as a collection of all top-down Zeldas or MM HD.

Definitely would play on Switch.

@Moroboshi876 I’m probably going to do it your way, assuming there is the spot-save function. Only way I can play through coin-op games in spurts (like the Season mode of 2020 Baseball or the myriad SNK fighters that I’ve picked up). I loved the way Digital Eclipse did it with Street Fighter — no need to reboot the software to pick up at the save point — Hamster should take note!!! — so I hope it’s the same. May influence how soon I pick this up.

@GrailUK Indeed, a really creative feature. But it would be cool if one also could spot-save (the way one could do extremely easily with the Street Fighter Collection that Digital Eclipse did).
