Weird that you can still live stream, just not on your connected account. And you can still upload every individual video from a non-connected account. Seems like that creates more work fro streamers and for Nintendo but still means everything they make could be put up.

@Pod
totally agreed. they wouldn't take much space.
"self-contained" oh except scan this to see manuals. bah.

@Anti-Matter
I'm with you, bro.

I'm still ticked that it is not expandable (Chronotrigger could come later via SNES Mini e-shop) AND have a slot for real carts. then it could replace the SNES in my living room right now someday when it bombs.

@Hikingguy
100% agreed. sometimes i say it as one word for the classic edition cuz it's so long, but i always feel dumb. S.N.E.S is the true way

Got one. deciding if i keep it. i already have so many of these on carts still, but the ones i don't have would cost way more than the mini. still it's not quite the same and i dont' necessarily want them all anyway. hm.... decisions decisions.

Terrible commercial. I was a kid in the 90's but that commercial is a straight rip from saved by the bell. barf.

i was 37th in line at walmart and they had 38. whew!

@Proust Right? I need to vote "none"
Look at this list?
Vs. Super Mario Bros. - not that fun and available in like 40 ways anyhow
Vs. Balloon Fight - I HATE THIS GAME.
Vs. Ice Climber - I HATE THIS GAME TOO. Intriguing on NES Remix but only cuz of added challenges and I was thankful when I rainbowed that part and could move on.
Vs. Pinball - Really?
Vs. Clu Clu Land - Fun but gets old fast.
Punch-Out!! - again, available in 40 places

I feel strange.
Are people really hyped about this or is it just that it's better than Wii? I haven't heard a single person mention Switch where I live except my hard core gaming buddy. Not just they don't have it, no one even talks about it.
I know that is super anecdotal, but i just haven't felt any hype for this system. for some reason Odyssey doesn't seem that interesting and nothing else is a killer app right now.
Like I said, I feel strange. I'm all nintendo all the time. everything else is the "also ran" for me. but I could not care less about the switch.

We got actual legos up in this hizzouse. All about that physical release, boss. No digital legos for us.

@Dayton311
Clearly they hired the designer from PlaySkool (which don't you love that they help kids learn by spelling school wrong? lol)

People pick on the StarFox graphics a bit today, but I still think like a 90's gamer and in context they are fun, and the gameplay, sound, etc. is awesome. "Me-muh-num mnah-neh" is a quotable quote in my house (go listen to Falco talk on SNES...)

In turn, the SNES library is so brilliant I am STILL finding amazing games I never heard of. Some carts are $$$ but some are only $ or $$. Can't remember the last time I bought a current-gen game b/c I'm so hooked on SNES again.

@JHDK
was just going to say exactly that!

Also just realized this game's mechanic is very closely related to "Little Nemo" on NES.
as brentalfloss put it "steal the soul of an animal!"
haha. that actually has me a bit more excited.....

wow that is some weird stuff. that bird puking into the curry? hm...

not sure why i'm not excited for this game. but i haven't felt the buzz.

SNES controller is still my go to whenever I can.
Like on retron 5? plug in my Genesis carts and use a REAL controller

I'm not buyin it.
I don't see any weird movement from Guts himself. Just fist pumping.
And the video examples are all completely different from each other. Apparently any arm movement is a "guts pose" ??? Sounds more like guts pose just means an fist-pump after you win/upset your opponent.
Cuz the only common thread was that some of the animations have a low fist pump (didn't even see Guts do this himself) and that is a normal thing to do anywhere whether you ever heard of guts or learned it or not.

@Ralizah
Here's my wishlist so far:
Metroid Prime 4

The only game that may force me to get a switch. lol. not sure why i'm not excited about mario, tbh. but Metroid could be my system seller and then i'll back-fill the wishlist.

What I need to know is .....
When do in-store clearance sales start?
I missed the Blockbuster shut-down and could have gotten so many games for pennies on the dollar..... ;D

What i like about this is that it can play SNES and SFC carts and looks more like a SNES than the retron 5 for example. Assuming it can apply translation patches to actual carts, that's about all i'd need. cheaper than retron 5 if you just want the one console, but this should be like $40 not $80 imo. at least to get em to buy it.

everything I'm reading on metacritic is that VC (virtual currency) is out of control and the game is now built on micro-transactions and even things in the game (like your agent) will take that currency from you so you have to earn more incredibly slowly in game or buy it from 2k for real money. Hm..... haven't played it myself but that doesnt' sound good.

2K starting to act like NBA live? Not good..... this series has been a stalwart for a decade and would hate to see them rest on their laurels like Live did when it was the only game in town.
Stay sharp NBA2k!

Needs more LUFIA.
Lufia 2 specifically. or a proper follow-up though I think square has rights now?

130million? more like 130 BILLION. you heard it here first. 20 per person on the planet. nailed it.

"console compatibility" means someone could put this on a cart and sell it to me for $50 on ebay right?

@thesilverbrick
Haven't tried goldeneye for a while, but Perfect Dark holds up great on 64. Although it's weird having only one stick so I used what I thought at the time was ludicrous..... TWO 64 controllers so you could have dual analog. lol. VISIONARY!

@SLIGEACH_EIRE
don't like the 9/10? Don't think it's almost as good as Breath of the Wild? yeah me neither.

Nah.
It's just the Boos. Boo is undead so "horror".

@SLIGEACH_EIRE
dude, comish's signature and all. such attention to detail. haha

@justin233
it was more than a split second for me.
just gave away my dreamcast cuz only had like 2 games for it and one of them was a sega arcade collection that i already have the actual genesis games. BUT if they released a disc of like the 10 best dreamcast games I would buy that eventually

I feel like they've released 50 "classic controllers". what's the difference? and why does it cost so much? and can i actually just use it with my snes?

@milliag
excellent comment.
the review sounds like it's describing the EXACT same game as RBI Baseball on NES. all that's missing is 8bit chibi characters with limited detail.

I still LOVE that game and play it regularly because it's NOT a sim, just pitch and swing, but it works. This sounds like it does not, so I'll stick with my SNES.

FWIW 2k14 was a 50gb download on xbox for anyone going digital. people complained about that too. so not entirely a nintendo problem. the problem of course is buying extra memory where others have it packed in (and a higher price)

@KingMike
I don't understand 5gb at all. Tracking a whole league and all the stats, season, trades, etc is still small data. just numbers really. video and pictures are what take up space but all the assets should be in the base game already with the save file just telling the game where to look for certain pieces of info or what fields to populate with #'s like shooting percentage.

For those of us who can do math... this is NOT an ok solution.

Nintendo sell people a "$300" system.... that needs a $100 controller, a $200 memory card, and that's just to fit games from the first year. Never mind if the thing lasts a decade.

i guess xbox got everyone used to it back when they sold you the system and THEN told you to go buy an HDD for your games.

tempted to pre-order from UK game, but 80lbs is $106 us? ouch

all i want is North America SNES 3DS. I would get the SFC looking one except it's region locked

why can't ANY of these games have decently modest girl costumes? it's obnoxious.

Lame. These games are available in a BILLION ways already. Slightly tweaked to be more like arcade originals? meh. maximum meh.

plus.... I HATE BALLOON FIGHT KILL IT WITH FIRE.

Runaway 5 sold their van to Tom's Tacos?

They seem to be aiming for the "I am bread" crowd. Terrible PS1 graphics with tons of clipping and pop-in and herky-jerky animations (if you can even call them that)

hope it doesn't sell. wouldn't want to encourage this kind of thing. At least polish it a bit when you get such a goofy idea.

@JaxonH
thanks, bro! yeah that would def meet expectations for me.

Hm.... game from 2011... cool I guess. is it the definitive edition with all DLC and upgraded graphics or the "plain" version? I never played it but I'm still OD'd on it.

Unless we get a new set of Fus-ro-dah memes

@Arehexes
it would benefit me. haha. and i'm more of a hardcore SNES fan who loves my games on a cart. i'm not alone there, though there probably aren't enough of us to make it worth it to Rayman.

i would argue download only is what only benefits rayman fans. that's a very different experience than "a brand new SNES game!" (see also: StarFox 2 - would love that on a cart as well, but obviously part of the sell is putting it on SNES-like hardware)

WHICH is another thought.... if Nintendo made NES or SNES expandable instead of closed, you might have more a chance of those unreleased games like SF2 finding a home... oh well.

@TeslaChippie
fair enough. SNES is my favorite so I guess someone could say "without online multiplayer and graphics stuck in the 90's it's hard to recommend this system". lol. of course, the list of why i love it is 10x longer.

Now, how do we go about getting them to finish Rayman for SNES and release a physical cart?

Just as the Switch felt like a fully realized Wii U.... I'm starting to wonder what a fully realized Switch would actually be.

So many corners being cut. I know that happens on every console, and worse on PC where people think they can release half done games and patch them later....... but it's a bad look.

Still, if you don't have this game, you want it.

Imagine how many Wii U's they could move from old stock if they said "buy Wii U, get NES classic free" it would suddenly become a better seller than Wii even after they killed it.

WOW. if it gets reviews like this everywhere.... to say "THIS is what the fuss is all about"....... so cool. let's get some speedrunners working on it!
