While I love and respect his contributions, this particular version of the Mario voice is better suited for small doses in-game. A game-accurate voice portrayal of Mario, Toad and Peach would be a lot to take for 1.5 hours of screen time

I love my Deck. Great at Steam titles on the go, and sure, it emulates. A lot of things. Really well. If Nintendo didn't want their current gen console emulated, they should have made it more powerful under the hood. I love my Switch, but I my own purchased Switch titles look and run better on another device. Higher resolution and 60fps. Community graphics packs. Etc.

I'd like a Double Dare contestant

If this qualifies as unsettling, we've truly become a culture of wusses. Different, sure, but we haven't seen the dude in motion yet. Let's give the trailer a chance and freak out less. Save panic mode for things that are actually worth it

The poster helps a ton. I was worried they'd feel the need to put some sort of artistic spin on character models we've enjoyed for decades, but at first glance, this looks fairly close

Unless it's a Nintendo exclusive, you almost need a secondary platform to actually enjoy these kinds of titles

I enjoyed the hack and slash Gamecube entries based upon the film trilogy. Wouldn't mind a remaster that fleshes out Fellowship into more than a Two Towers tutorial section

The Xbox versions sounds superior

Collections feel like they shouldn't be considered a game. Contra on NES earns the top spot, but it's also in the collection

My most accurate prediction is that it will separate me from 60 dollars

NFTs are dumb

Collections aren't a game, they're loads of games

Boy, they sure love to penalize early adopters, huh?

It only took 5 years for Nintendo to count upwards from 2 to 3. Now let's do it for Mario Kart 8, which some of us have been playing since its release in 2014

@electrolite77 I would have at least thrown Rad Racer in there, their NES attempt at 3D (with included glasses). Or maybe some Virtual Boy titles. But Urban Champion?

@electrolite77 I'm sorry we have to feel each other's pain. I'd say Nintendo, at times, isn't much better. They tried their own line of 3D Classics on the 3DS and led with heavy hitter Urban Champion. And they gave Kid Icarus backgrounds so they could do that one. No Super Mario, no Zelda, nothing that could really have jumpstarted the line

@Dimey I feel like when they do try, they do it wrong. There was a nice collection of 3D classics from Sega on the 3DS. A few arcade gems in there for sure. But the choices weren't their most popular titles. Same with the Sega Ages on Switch. Some heavy hitters, and some really bizarre choices, too, while once again leaving out their biggies. Arcade1UP has made one Sega cab and for their 1st outing they chose Golden Axe and its sequel, the Revenge of Death Adder, to headline, which were both overlooked on those collections I mentioned. It's almost like they're choosing what to do by throwing darts at an idea board

For folks who are pumped, that's awesome! But I don't want to support the idea of sequel micro consoles from the same console's generation. Were it a horrendous-looking Genesis with a 32X and Sega CD attachment with nothing on it but 32X and Sega CD games, that would really be something, but they had their chance with Genesis games last time. While some Sega CD titles are present here, it's not enough to make me part with 100 bucks. Sega should look into some kind of emulated collection like Capcom's Arcade Stadium. One for Genesis, another for Dreamcast, etc. Or heck, just their stellar arcade titles

For folks who didn't have the Wii U, it's great news. For those of who did have one, we'd like new content, please

I disagree with HD remakes from the SNES era. The graphical style is part of the charm. It is frustrating that the years back updated Chrono Trigger is available on Steam and mobile, but not on a Switch. I'd support widescreen versions of the titles you mention with some QOL improvements, but the titles I wish to see score HD upgrades are NES and GB ones. Like Link's Awakening. While the SNES pulled off some gorgeous visuals, things in the GB and NES days were still kinda creaky and would benefit the most from a makeover

Loved the original, but I refuse to support Apple Arcade. Let me buy the individual titles and I'm set, but subscribing just to borrow them is ultra lame

Glad to see they put in the effort! For collectors who often already have all the oldies they want in cart format or are emulation enthusiasts for arcade titles, what opens our wallets is presentation. Awesome job, Konami!

Golden Axe, please

For a while there I was grabbing all the micro consoles. But they just sat around looking pretty. Another Genesis isn't what most fans were hoping for. They could have easily crammed most of these onto their first release. If it was just CD titles, that would be something. Make a micro Sega CD attachment, it'd be cute. Ideally, Sega would just put out some stellar compilations for modern platforms and PCs. Genesis, Dreamcast, Saturn, etc., which can all be emulate quite well

I can't think of a single reason he would have known. He never struck me as someone who even plays video games. I play loads, but I watch no sports, so I don't readily know the names of the best at sportsball stuff

Samus and I met back in 80s when the game was new. Nintendo Power wasn't a thing yet and there was no internet, so friends were our best resource. While visiting a friend of mine, he showed me Metroid and Kid Icarus, two titles I'd never heard of but suddenly had to own. The graphics were impressive at the time and I recall loving the atmosphere and fast-paced gameplay

I don't mind a sequel that isn't a huge step up from its predecessor, but Nintendo has used the "we couldn't think of a new way to play" excuse with denying titles like F-Zero a new entry. It feels hypocritical

Didn't Donkey Kong have nips on his arcade machine's art?

Bless their little ninja hearts.
It's nitpicky, but I'd like them to patch the vocal pitch of the Nutrinos. They sound like adults, whereas in the show they sounded like Oz munchkins

Nice. For 8 bucks, you can score both arcade versions with Capcom's stadium thingy, but still, cool release

In all the preview screens, we never see a setting that allows the game screen to fit our TV's height

I wish Nintendo as was as good at counting upwards with other franchises

I feel like since the original version hit in 2014, Nintendo should count to 9

Yes, but only because some fans have been waiting a decade or more for some of their favorite IPs to return

Been playing Capcom Arcade Stadium 2 while revisiting the original. Wish Hamster priced their arcade releases like these

Waiting for a review. I grabbed the Castlevania and Contra collections at launch and was bummed with the video options. While there was a 'none' filter with looked great, there was no option to pair it with sizing. It didn't reach the height of my screen, if that makes sense, whereas Retroarch handled oldies the way I want for free. I'd rather pay for these classics, but I also want them to have more screen real estate

NFTs... please go away

I could see Nintendo dropping the Gamecube or GBA entries sometime. Because that would require the least amount of effort

Hee hee hee. You're right

At a minimum, the Switch should be emulating classics the Wii and Wii U could handle. Somehow we've gone backwards in terms of expanding their classics library

@OldManHermit Because it's not obtainable unless one shells out thousands for a used cabinet, it's one to check out any way you can. I want to throw money at a digital release. But it's unlikely. So many fantastic licensed titles are just kind of lost

While I'm dreaming, I'd love to see a port of their Willow arcade game based upon the 80s film. The art style was a hoot

I love that the Amazon product link is the exact same one I pre-ordered this from in 2018. They don't seem to have updated the release date, though

The Russian soldier angle sounds bogus. They were the villains in GoldenEye. They're still pretty awful bad guys today

Nintendo baffles me.
A 3D F-Zero on the 3DS would have made a lot more sense than a Metroid spin-off where you're not Samus

He's still on Twitter. For now.
I hope you join me in dropping by to show him some love. I believe the world has more good people than bad. It doesn't always feel this way because the bad ones are just so darned loud, whereas good people just walk around being good without fanfare.

Back when this game was new, I loved the art style. Still do today. As I make my way through Elden Ring for the 5th time or so, I do wonder what a Zelda title could look like with its visual style

Rather than a Genesis/MD mini sequel, this should have been a Sega/MD CD console only. Whatever Gen/MD games they wanted to get out should have been on the first release. This should be a dedicated CD release with an attachment to the new mini that looks like the actual CD attachment

@samuelvictor That's helpful, thank you! I'll be sure to pick it up console rather than PC

@OwenGamer22 Rock on! Thanks
