God forbid Nintnedo Life actually put forth some effort and make their own rankings instead of posting these stupid lists. These are useful to absolutely no one.

What are these poll options? No one thinks the original, Carbon, Undercover, or Shift are the best entries.

Criterion's first two go-rounds with the series are unquestionably the best. Most Wanted '12 > Most Wanted '05

YESSS even uglier Lumiose City! Just what I wanted!

I will say, the aesthetic does give me Splatoon 3 Side Order vibes, which I loved.

But man, this is a complete letdown.

@Devann My thoughts exactly. I'm still upgrading because Overcooked! and its sequel are two of my favorite games of all time and the Switch 2 camera had done nothing but be a hit anytime I've used it. But why on earth would you not upgrade the latest version?

Pleeeaaase acquire MercurySteam.

Yeah, I buy nearly every Nintendo release, plus plenty of others. This month alone I'm buyint 8 games. Would've been 9 if Borderlands 4 wouldn't have gotten delayed. They're not all $70 games, but still... definitely 12+ a year.

This will be great for my almost two year old nephew who loves playing Mario Kart World, but also loves getting upset when he manages to pause the game or go back to the Home menu.

For further clarification on games that don't have gyro controls, it's the Famicom & NES versions of Operation Wolf and the SNES version of Operation Thunderbolt.

Not sure why this is, honestly. The SMS version of Operation Wolf and Space Gun do have gyro controls to mimic the SEGA's Light Phaser, so I'm don't really understand why the other games don't have them to mimic the NES Zapper. They do all have USB mouse controls, though.

Maybe they'll get patched in at a later date.

It's an awesome collection, regardless! But if you're buying digital and are on the fence about the console version DLC, if gyro controls are important to you, you might wanna hold off.

Child of Eden would be awesome... now if we could also get Rez Infinite.

And give us Lumines Arise too!

Ah, no map, just like all of the other GBA metroidvanias... oh wait.

What a stupid design decision. Not having a map is inexcusable. Pass.

Bubsy 1 is a perfectly serviceable game with some great animations and a kick-ass soundtrack.

Bubsy 2 is a game that suffers from too much ambition, but certainly isn't "bad."

Bubsy 3D is legitimately terrible.

Never played Fractured Furry Tales.

I will be buying this day 1 to replay through the first game and try out FFT.

Can't wait for this! Dying for a Fatal Run 2089 release date, too. That game got announced before this and Missile Command Delta. Looks like the wait will be worth it, though. The difference between the first and most recent trailers for it were astounding.

Atari releasing banger after banger since 2020.

This is awesome. Wade Rosen is the absolute best thing to ever happen to this company in decades. 2020-present Atari is one of my favorite publishers.

Now get on the horn with Microsoft and get Pitfall! in this collection PRONTO.

Yep, stayed up 'til midnight to play it at launch and had to quit playing a half hour in because I got cold & sweaty along with a headache and felt like I was going to throw up. Still felt like it when I woke up for work. On my way home, I stopped picked up some Dramamine. I now pop two of them before I play it for the first time each day.

I'm 20+ hours in now, at Sublayer 1200 and done 100% of everything you can do up to that point. Not really enjoying it all that much, though. Way too much emphasis on destroying and not nearly enough on platforming. None of the challenges are uh... challenging. Would've much rather been swinging from vines, as well as riding mine carts and launching out of barrels for platforming purposes, not teleporting to another part of the map purposes.

"Ring Fit Adventure accessories (Joy-Con 2 works appear to work with game)"

Can you guys create a video of Alex attaching a Joy-Con 2 (R) to the Ring-Con? I'd love to see it.

The developer isn't a stranger to combat-esque games. They developed every WWF/E wrestling game on PSX, DC, PS2, GCN, 360/PS3, and PS4/X1 from 2000-2018

But they also developed the new AEW game too, sooo...

TeamGroup is a good brand. They were the first company to list a legit 2TB micro SD card on amazon, so I bought one and it's worked great. Had it since July of last year.

I still want to get the Lexar one though 'cause it has faster read/write speeds.

@StyrofoamCup Well... almost.

@LastFootnote You are 100% correct. I know there's a lot of comparisons when it came to the visuals on how besides the resolution, the HD version actually had less visual effects than the 3DS version, so I just assumed the multiplayer issue was something also introduced by Forever.

Well, I guess now I kind of fault Nintendo for not catching Monster's mistake and ensuring Forever didn't make the same mistake in the HD version.

@EarthboundBenjy Square Enix didn't develop or publish this. They simply licensed out the Front Mission IP to Forever Enterainment, who have used it to churn out three pretty awful remakes developed by different studios.

I really hope Nintendo finds a way to dissolve whatever agreement they have with Forever. While DKCR is a pretty perfect game and hard to mess up if all you have to do is make things less jaggy, they still managed to ***** it up by messing up the multiplayer. Luckily no one I know enjoys the difficulty of Retro's DKC besides me, so it didn't affect my enjoyment of the game. But I don't want them to have another chance to screw up another great Nintendo game or IP.

Forever Entertainment is trash.

I hate when this site does these lists. Just rename them to "Look at how terrible this compilation of your opinions is!"

lol, we all know who "However, one unnamed publisher described initial sales as "below our lowest estimates", despite remarkably strong hardware sales." is.

Why didn't our HD Remaster of a 13 year old 3DS game with next to no improvements beyond visuals sell like hotcakes?

I love Square Enix, but they're a little dumb.

I guess I should clarifiy, however, that I did buy Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster...

They've essentially built Pac-Man Championship Edition 3 into Shadow Labyrinth. So excited for this.

"All the games included in Capcom Fighting Collection 2 are straight-up arcade ports, so you do lose any adventure modes, items shops, and other single-player content that was added to console ports. But listen, that's a good thing. The arcade versions, especially with the likes of the SNK and Street Fighter games, are superior and worth ditching stuff for. Less latency, faster, harder opponents and far better looks in terms of keeping it retro-for-real."

What a garbage take. Let's celebrate Capcom being lazy. Like it would be unfathomable to include arcade and console versions of these games. Konami barely remembers how to make games and still somehow manages to do this in their collections.

While I'd love to still pay $60, games getting bumped up tp $80 might be a blessing in disguise for me.

I have purchased over 1,000 games on Switch, and really only enjoy maybe 1/5 of them. I own every Nintendo published game on Switch except for DC Super Hero Girls and Pokemon Mystery Dungeon. I spent $60 on so many games that I thought looked interesting and then simply deleted an hour or two later simply because I didn't enjoy them as much as I'd hoped.

At $80, I'm hoping I'll think more before purchasing. I'd rather spend $80 on 20 games I love than $60 on 100 games, of which only 20 I loved.

Also, Donkey Kong Bananza is $70, so it doesn't sound like every big Nintendo game is going to be $80.

Sells 5 million for games made 30+ years ago and still can't add in the extra GBA content. Or give us the option or charges vs. traditional MP in FFI.

Oh well. At least they're pretty and sound wonderful.

Both of their next games are going to suck without Jeppe Carlsen. Hope they both fail.

Atari's new CEO is killin' it. Almost every game they've released since 2020 has been awesome, unless it's called RollerCoaster Tycoon and isn't 1, 2, or 3.

With Xbox Series S versions existing of all these games, I don't think there are going to be many impossible Switch 2 ports unless it's a PS5 exclusive.

I'm not understanding how it looks like the Switch won't sell more than 160 million units. They sold almost 5 million last quarter, and likely have at least two quarters left to report before Switch 2 comes out. Not to mention they aren't just gonna remove it from shelves once the Switch 2 comes out. The new 2DS XL was still being sold three years after the Switch came out.

There's almost no conceivable way it doesn't pass PS2 sales. What's crazy is it's achieved these sales without ever the price ever permanently dropping. It goes on sale for holidays or gets bundled with games, but every Switch model still retails for it's launch price.

@Lizuka You're never gonna believe what The Third Age GBA is... 😂

Although I wouldn't call it cheap, it's actually a pretty good Fire Emblem knockoff.

And the console version is a pretty good Final Fantasy X knockoff.

C'mon February Direct! I'd love to replay Planet Robobot in HD. And add some new armor abilities!

A bit odd. Others like Octopath Traveler and Triangle Strategy (and probably Live A Live at some point) were due to Square Enix taking over publishing duty from Nintendo. But Dragon Quest XI S was published by Square Enix at launch on Switch.

EDIT: Nope, OdnetninAges is correct. Nintendo did publish it internationally. So business as usual. Have Builders 1 & 2 been switched over to Square Enix yet?

This looks just like Ys Origin, which is the only other Ys game I've ever been able to get into. So I'll definitely be getting this.

Gameloft did an outstanding job with The Oregon Trail. I'm sure this will be no different. Can't wait! It's like having my second grade computer lab on my Switch.

Why isn't Tetris 2 (SNES) on this list?

WOAH TETRIS DX?!?!

@Lightsiyd Given that Samsung only announced a 256GB that's not even out yet and SanDisk just now got anything larger than 1TB transferring at up to 250MB/s (less than a third of the speed of these new cards)... I'd say yeah, for the foreseeable future, they can't make these new cards larger than 256GB.

Not gonna do much good if they can't make it in larger sizes than 256GB. The new hardware means bigger file sizes and while Nintendo will likely keep theirs low, third parties already have Switch games that are 30-50GB. I'm gonna want more than six or seven games on my system.

"thanks to a faithful clutch of remasters from Aspyr (developers of the great Tomb Raider I-III Remastered, also originally from Crystal Dynamics)."

Just an editing note, Tomb Raider I-III (as well as IV-VI) were developed by Core Design. Crystal Dynamics didn't take over the Tomb Raider franchise until Legend. They did oversee the remasters, though.

Yep, on day one. Llove Zero Dawn and Forbidden West. And ecstatic that TT Games has nothing to do with it.Now I'm just crossing my fingers that the PSVR2 goes on sale again for Prime Big Deal Days or Black Friday so I can play Call of the Mountain.

This is the first F-Zero clone I've seen that looks like the developers "get it."

All three of those absoluty suck.

Guess I'm buying four games on 4/23 now! I adore this series and this looks amazing.

I've never played Myst before so I didn't know if maybe realMyst was a sequel, knockoff, or another poorly designed port that people just wanted to forget about, haha. I just remembered hearing about it when it was announced for Switch.

Hasn't Myst been on Switch for like four years? Or am I missing something?

https://www.nintendolife.com/games/switch-eshop/realmyst_masterpiece_edition

Honestly one of the beat games I've ever played. Incredibly excited for all of this!

This is gonna be one of the best games ever. I'm so pumped for this.

That's a bummer. I was super excited to play Crossroads. Honestly couldn't care less about the original games.
