@Crono1973 Yeah. That's what I'm talking about. The Memory Pak that goes into the controller. If the connection between the two gets broken your data on the pak erases. Seems like the controller connection wasn't always secure because it happened several times. Even happened to the game boy controller pak which erased my Pokemon Red game when I popped it in to play Pokemon Stadium one day.
@Crono1973 The controller. I bought every THQ wrestling game on N64 so me & everyone I played with button mashed the Hell out of those controllers in fatal four ways & battle royals alone. Not to mention the controller tossing ragequits in Mario Kart 64.
If it allows save states on the console call me interested. My main gripe about the N64 was how your sensitive data was stored in what was probably the most abused part of a console. So many erased games & CAWs ;(
@Morrow Eh it's not really new. Rememeber Capcom during the GameCube era? If it sold well, it got a PS 2 port but if it didn't...well at least I liked Gotcha Force & PN 03 was ok. Almost expect it nowadays from 3rd party hits on Nintendo consoles.
MCU inspired? Does that mean some of the cool niche characters that never had any screen time probably won't even make the roster? Was hoping for favs like Moon Knight, She-Hulk, & Tigra
As someone who prefers comics over the movies I'm not feeling this one so far.
@Onion Agreed. Probably why I enjoyed Castlevania Legends so much while everyone else apparently hated it. Heck, Iga even retconned it out of the timeline.
@Arkay I'm tempted to look into that just to drive the Wii version of Blue Falcon online one more time. While overall I prefer 8, that thing was insane.
@Tasuki There's no need on our end. The need is on the owners of this stuff. They saw that people were ditching cable & wanted a cut in on the action on where the money was going.
Couple all these different streaming services with ISPs throttling bandwidth for higher tiers & we may end up paying more than cable.
I just turned that thing on for the first time in months the other day.
I was reporting teammates that spent the match jumping off the stage over & over when no one wanted to join their squid party but hey, glad I didn't uninstall it.
And here I was about to cancel my Amazon Prime when my trial period ended. Didn't even know you could link the two before I read some of these comments. Thanks!
@Angelic_Lapras_King I'm hoping they'll throw it on the Contra collection. It pretty much was a Wild West Contra. I'd be happy with the arcade or SNES version.
@Blizzia I've tried playing that way & it does feel ok at first. My only issue was I'd keep missing opportunities to score points as I'll instinctively try to shake smash people. Also I felt more comfortable holding the Joy Cons in opposite hands.
@Heavyarms55 For us non-serious players I guess. For Brawl & WiiU I preferred the Wii Remote & Nunchuck over the GC controller & my nephew played pretty well with the Wii Remote sideways.
@bluesdance Tempted to double dip on Cactus myself. Despite Steam's support for the pro controller I'm curious if the Switch's online leaderboards are shared with the PC's or if it has its own seperate one.
Been giving Smash Ultimate another go & still playing a bit of Paladins. Bought V.O.I.D. but not sure how much longer I'm going to force myself to play that.
@NintendoFan4Lyf I don't think I get the "tingle" thing but it does help with relaxing. I listen to this stuff when I have trouble sleeping. Though personally I prefer some of the roleplay vids like doctors & nurse exams over atmosphere stuff.
@Orin41 Honestly, the improved battle mode didn't sell it for me. Heck, I still haven't even tried it yet. I double-dipped because they removed firehopping.
@LUIGITORNADO Well Metroid Prime Trilogy was ported to the WiiU as an eshop game. With all the other WiiU games being ported, this one probably has the best chance on your list.

Re: Sexy Shmup Caladrius Blaze Is Getting An English-Language Release
@YANDMAN That's the info I was looking for. Thank you!
I like my fanservice anime shooters but when they cross into bullet hell I struggle to stay interested.
Re: Sexy Shmup Caladrius Blaze Is Getting An English-Language Release
@Bunkerneath Yeah, if it weren't for this article I would have assumed the game was a visual novel.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (June 1st)
Horizon Chase Turbo & probably Beat Hazard 2

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (May 11th)
Been slowing getting back into Starlink but it's another double xp weekend in Paladins & a friend often asks me to join them for a few rounds of that.
Re: These Custom Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Tracks Have Us Dreaming Of A Future Track Creator
@JohnnyC I'd be all for this. I'd be happy if they added a few tracks/characters/karts every few months as DLC to MK8D

Re: Review: Panty Party – Nothing To Get Your Knickers In A Twist Over
Darn. If that auto-lock was available in single player I'd be more tempted to try it.
Re: Hardware Review: Retro-Bit Tribute64 - A Fine N64 Controller, And Perfect For Smash On Switch
Yeah, no. The N64 controller was fantastic the way it was.
Re: Talking Point: Do We Still Want Achievements On Switch?
Not big on them myself. Maybe if you unlocked something like exclusive profile pictures it'd be somewhat interesting.
Re: Feature: The 50 Best Game Boy Games - Zelda, Pokémon, Metroid, Mario And More
Aww no love for any of the Takara Game Boy fighters. That aside, nice trip down memory lane.
Re: Here's The Full Lineup For Castlevania Anniversary Collection On Switch
May just get Super Castlevania IV in the WiiU eshop & call it a day.
Re: Review: Metagal - A Mega Man Clone That Comes With A Mega Problem
Yeah, the level designs are on the butthurt side, but at worst I thought the game was a 5/10.

Re: Panty Party Is Receiving A Switch Release Outside Of Japan
If the vs mode has online play I may have to get this.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (April 6th)
Splatoon 2 & finally been giving Warframe a try.
Re: Review: Mechstermination Force - A Small But Perfectly Formed Boss-Battler
Wait there was a Gunman Clive 2?! Never got around to finishing the first one but I liked it so I'm sold.
Re: Warhammer Age Of Sigmar: Champions Secures An April Release On Switch
Kill-slay! Kill-slay!
I miss Queek Headtaker too much to try AoS stuff myself but the more TCGs the better.
Re: Nintendo Adds Three New Games To The Switch Online NES Library This Month
Some of those Neo Geo baseball games look cool & all but part of me is still holding out for Bad News Baseball to show up.
Re: Review: Dead or Alive Xtreme 3: Scarlet - A Sun-Soaked Romp That Loses Its Appeal Too Soon
@Dezzy Hard to find devs that are into both sexual stuff & gameplay I guess. It does happen but it's rare.

Re: Senran Kagura Producer Leaves Marvelous After Frustrations Over Sexual Content Restrictions
@milliag Yeah, I'll never understand that logic.
Re: Metagal Brings Old School 2D Platforming To Switch This Friday
Looks like it might be good. Price is decent so worth a try.
Re: Cuphead Won't Be Any Easier On Nintendo Switch
@sdelfin Sounds good to me.
Awesome. Only ever seen his BOSJ & Super J Cup appearances but he's a cool rival to one of my favs(Liger).
Re: Cuphead Won't Be Any Easier On Nintendo Switch
@sdelfin Sounds like Contra 3 & Metal Slug. Good enough for me.
Also is your username short for Super Delfin? I miss that guy.
Re: Cuphead Won't Be Any Easier On Nintendo Switch
Is it really that hard? Are any stages/bosses that are unbeatable or are there just not enough lives/continues to muscle through it?
Re: Japanese Charts: Smash Ultimate Is Now Less Than 10,000 Copies Away From Outselling Splatoon 2
@mist Nah I wish I waited a few years for a price drop myself. I don't have people over often for local fun & I'm not enjoying online play.
Re: Konami Releasing Anniversary Collection Series On Nintendo Switch
@Angelic_Lapras_King I'm hoping they'll throw it on the Contra collection. It pretty much was a Wild West Contra. I'd be happy with the arcade or SNES version.
Re: Random: The Entire Mega Man '90s Cartoon Is Available To Watch On YouTube

Re: Arcade Survival Racer BlazeRush Is Smashing Its Way To Switch Next Week
Already have it on Steam but online is kinda deadish. May get it again just to play against more people.
Re: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe World Record Attempt Fittingly Destroyed By Blue Shell
@WOLF13 Can't you turn it off in vs mode settings or run a no items tournament in MK8? I remember setting it to rarely showing up in MKWii.

That's ok Luigi. There's always Super Mario Adventures.
Re: Sonic Team's Takashi Iizuka Wants To Remake Sonic Adventure
As long as we get a new version of Tails theme I'm in. His story was my fav part.
Re: Feature: The Final Wii U Games We'd Like To See On Switch In 2019

Re: Feature: Digital vs Physical - What Is Your Preference for Nintendo Switch?
Physical. If I'm going to pay the same price either way on a new release, may as well have the cart & save some memory space.
Re: Video: Playing Super Smash Bros. Ultimate With Just A Wii Nunchuk
@ReaderRagfihs It's the way I played as well. Ultimate is barely playable for us Wii remote/nunchuk players.
