I bought this game on eBay earlier this year to relive some childhood memories, and I fully intended to resell it once I was finished since it’s way too expensive. But I just can’t bring myself to sell it, it’s too good.

I never understood people’s complaints about discomfort while playing this until I tried replaying it a year ago using my New 3DS XL. Holy cow, the size/weight of the XL model caused so much hand cramping.

That image made me think we were getting a Super Princess Peach game on Switch at first.

I’ve really been enjoying these videos NL has been doing lately about overlooked Game Boy games.

@jtmnm I’ve been rebuilding my GameCube collection, and it’s so worth it. Something about GameCube era Nintendo games have so much personality.

I’m fortunate enough to have a copy of TTYD, and this is such an amazing chapter in it. The hype of the wrestling league mixed with the intrigue of the detective work are such a great combination.

@maroonhawk I didn’t realize that, that’s good to know!

I think the target audience for it will be tough because people who really care about visuals probably play in docked mode when they can. And the bigger screen means it’ll be even less portable than the regular Switch model already is.

All that being said, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t intrigued by it.

This is the only 3D Zelda game I’ve not played, so I’m excited to get to play it. I nearly bought it on the Wii U eShop since it’s only $20, but man I hate motion controls.

At least the guy’s being honest. I wonder if the announcement today was done without much hype so people wouldn’t mistake it for being a pro model.

Some of the controls in that footage look a bit too floaty (particularly the jumping), but I’m very much looking forward to this game.

The new kickstand is nice for people who use it since the original one is pretty terrible. But these minimal changes are a tough sell for me since I’ve primarily been playing in docked mode due to the JoyCon drift.

This article is good but could use more Bidoof

I actually loved the Rouge and Knuckles hide-and-seek levels, but yeah I definitely played more of the chao garden stuff than I did the main game.

I swear I spent half my childhood in the chao garden

There wasn’t much revealed that I’m personally interested in, but I’m happy Metroid and WarioWare fans are getting some new releases. I’m just hoping the lack of New Pokémon Snap news doesn’t mean we won’t be getting DLC in the future.

@HotGoomba New Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

It was an okay presentation, although I definitely had my hopes up we’d be getting some New Pokémon Snap DLC.

Quidditch World Cup on the GameCube has always been my favorite HP game, but I definitely have fond memories of the GBC games.

@Eel all great points! The fact that it’s free to start out is definitely a big selling point.

Wow, I was just looking into getting Ghost Trick on the DS! As much as I hate playing games on my phone, those prices are way better than what the DS cartridge is going for on eBay.

I recently replayed Minish Cap on my 3DS XL, and man would it be great to see that on the Switch.

@TheWingedAvenger I liked a few of her earlier songs, but yeah most of what she’s made in the last few years have been about as generic as pop can get. Which in an odd way makes her perfect for doing this kind of collaboration.

@Severian as long as his hot girl summer pose from this article makes it in as a taunt, I’ll be happy.

I was never on the Waluigi for Smash bandwagon, but...Waluigi for Smash.

I can’t see myself buying a Lite model since I play on my TV quite a bit, but my god that color makes it tempting.

Finally some justice for Alolan Exeggutor.

It looks pretty similar to A Short Hike to me, so I’m interested in seeing more.

New Pokémon Snap is honestly the most fun I’ve had with a game in years. My only complaint with the scoring system is that it doesn’t always do great when there are multiple Pokémon in a photo. I’ve had a few instances where it decided to score a background Pokémon instead of the Pokémon I focused on in the photo.

Something about Sudowoodo living its best life in a plant shop is hilarious to me.

I really enjoyed this game but sadly never finished it due to the difficulty spike that happens when you get to the final boss.

I think I’m one of like 12 people who actually likes the Chikorita line, so I love this. It’s refreshing to see a Pokémon that’s not Pikachu or Charizard get some love.

@Crono1973 What about it doesn’t feel right? The slightly yellow color the GamePad gives games has never bothered me much, but a controls issue would be a different story.

I need to buy Spirit Tracks and Phantom Hourglass on my Wii U before its online services inevitably get shut down. Never got around to playing them, and it’s cheaper on the eShop than it would be to buy the DS cartridges.

Saw this and thought this game got a Switch remake. Oh well, maybe someday.

Fat Pikachu makes me so happy.

Minish Cap has my favorite visuals of any 2D Zelda, everything on the screen just pops so well.

I never had a lot of the discomfort issues people complained about while playing this game on my original 3DS back in the day. But I recently tried replaying it on a New 3DS XL, and my hand started cramping pretty badly after about 15 minutes. It didn’t feel like there was a good way to hold the bigger system. It’s a shame because this game has a lot to benefit from being played on a bigger screen.

Oh man, Pokémon Dash was my first DS game as a kid, and it’s honestly one of the least interesting games I’ve played. And I feel like Pokémon Channel was a great game as long as you were younger when it came out. Looking back at it as an adult, it’s...repetitive to put it kindly.

Pokémon Conquest is one of my favorite games ever, it definitely doesn’t deserve to be forgotten.

Such a good point, there are plenty of games I love that I had initially written off when they were revealed (e.g., Pokémon Conquest).

It's pretty damn sad that I could enter a same-sex "joined union" in The Sims 2 in 2004, but a game in 2021 acts like LGBTQ+ folks don't even exist.

Neither one is particularly great, but I at least appreciate how the box art looks a little bit like the visuals in the actual game. I remember feeling misled by the game covers of so many SNES and Genesis games as a kid.

@outsider83 Yeah, there was actually a lot of free DLC that came after launch (1/3 of the roster wasn’t available at launch). Single player content is a bit lacking regardless, but I can’t help but wonder if the game would’ve gained at least a little more traction if it had launched with all 15 fighters available from the start.

That’s a shame but really not at all surprising. ARMS has some surprisingly intriguing lore, and I hope it’s built on in the future.

Recently finished replaying this one on my Wii U, such a gem of a game. Thankful I have the ability to at least play it on there.

@msvt That’s awesome you started playing them as an adult, I feel like most people who didn’t play them growing up write the series off as being too kiddish.

I’d highly recommend picking up one of the Johto games, they’re the best in the series in my opinion. HG/SS might be more up your ally since you started with the later games, but G/S/C are still fantastic and readily available on the 3DS eShop.

Johto really was something special. I was never tempted to buy Let’s Go Eevee/Pikachu, but I’d absolutely buy a Let’s Go Togepi.

It honestly seems like it could be a good laugh with some friends and a few drinks.

I’m pleasantly surprised at these comments so far, this is the side of NL I like to see.

I hope the people who buy the game end up enjoying it, but yeah I can’t bring myself to support developers who use such a bad excuse for not including same-sex marriage as an option.

I love how something so seemingly simple like this will lead to so much more creativity in how people design their islands.
