Weird - it's the 6-button layout - but a 3-button controller shape. That's bizarre but kinda cool.
Skipping this though - my last Retrobit one felt cheap as hell and the Genesis adapter stopped working after 10 minutes. Go with 8bitdo's M30 instead. The buttons and DPAD don't feel cheap like the Retrobit one I had.
This is my favorite SNES game! I wish we were getting it.
At least we have the option to download the Japan Switch Online apps if we make a Japanese account. And I've played this game enough times since the late 90's to probably get through without the translation.. but I'd love to have the release here.
I'm sure it comes down to licensing issues with the Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons split here in the west.
@HammerGalladeBro Of course - just look at the responses here..
Plus - people were hyped they were on the Wii virtual console - and just like the Wii virtual console's C64 games - it's not like it would have the long load times like loading from a tape on a real 1980's C64 would...
@EVIL-C Yeah - I don't know why anyone ever thought the Nintendo Seal of Quality was related to gameplay.. that was never the case. It just meant it was an officially licensed product and would short-circuit your NES when you put the game in.
This game was surprisingly great. It's a good compliment to Mario Kart as it feels different enough with all the Rally racing type physics. Not bad at all for the low price.

Re: NASCAR Gets Arcade-Style Twist In New Racing Game, Coming To Switch This Year
Really loved NASCAR Rumble on PS1 and enjoyed NASCAR Unleashed on 360/3DS.
Wonder if it'll finally be time to buy my third NASCAR game lol
Re: Review: Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp - A Pair Of Strategy Gems Delightfully Reimagined
Good to see the series finally return!
I'm still bitter we got like 5 Fire Emblem's on 3DS and not a single Advance Wars
Re: Dragon Quest Manga's Video Game Adaptation Gets Simultaneous Global Release
@Fizza Kinda like Street Fighter: The Movie: The Game
Re: Digimon Survive Is Getting Review Bombed On Metacritic
Wait - people thought this wouldn't have a lot of visual novel elements?!
Re: Rejoice, The Wii Shop Channel And DSi Shop Are Finally Back Up
@Serpenterror Xbox 360's still going strong too and that's from 2005. Plus you can still make purchases on that digital store!

Re: Random: The Perfect Pokémon Graphics Don't Exi... Oh
Love this! The recent Pokemon Mystery Dungeon remake is the closest official game to this style.
Re: Antonblast Looks Like The Wario Land Successor We've Been Begging For
@Paraka Funny that you say this when Nintendo got their start in video games by making Pong and Space Invaders clones
Re: Antonblast Looks Like The Wario Land Successor We've Been Begging For
@Kiz3000 Seems it's a reference to their previous game.

Re: Soapbox: Wave Race 64 Is Now 25 Years Old, And It Still Rules
@MetalMan Meanwhile - F-Zero X managed to hit 60fps even in splitscreen on the N64!
Re: Soapbox: Wave Race 64 Is Now 25 Years Old, And It Still Rules
Such an incredible series! I love all 3 Wave Race games!
Heck - Blue Storm on Gamecube still has better water physics than most AAA games today.
Re: Infinite Links Is The Latest KEMCO RPG Heading To Switch
Remember when Kemco used to make games that weren't just RPGs?
Re: Harvest Moon Added To Japan's Switch Online Super Famicom Library
This is my favorite SNES game! I wish we were getting it.

Re: Random: 22 Years Ago Today The Nintendo 64DD Had More Online Features Than Switch
@Vyacheslav333 YES!!!
If they're not gonna give us a new F-Zero I'd at least like to see the Satelliview and N64DD F-Zero games we never got here come to NSO.
Re: Review: Banjo-Kazooie - Peerless Platforming Perfection, And Now Available On Switch
Love Banjo - but weird seeing this get a 10/10 when a better version has already been out for over a decade on 360.
Better controls, better graphics, widescreen - and the Stop & Swap feature
Re: Banjo-Kazooie Joins Switch Online's Expansion Pack This Week
Glad it's here!
But the fact that a better version has been on Xbox for the past 15 years kinda takes the wind out of the sails of this announcement.

Re: Switch Exclusive Chocobo GP Sure Wants To Be Mario Kart, Doesn't It?
Looks like the original Chocobo Racing on PS1 to me...
Re: Poll: Do You Call Handhelds Like Game Boy And Nintendo DS 'Consoles'?
"Handheld Console" - it's right there in the name.
Re: Video: We Take A Look At The Hidden Mario Golf Game That Didn't Star Mario
@romanista The Speed Golf/Run thing was also a mode in one (or maybe multiple) of the Tiger Woods PGA games on Gamecube
Re: Microsoft Execs Thought They Owned Donkey Kong After Acquiring Rare
@Royalblues Ironic you say Microsoft would do this - when Rare/Nintendo had already turned it into Third Person Shooter in DK64's Multiplayer mode.
Re: Dotemu Delays Windjammers 2 To 2021
@Kanbei Lol yep - it's basically Pong with a Frisbee and Fighting Game Mechanics haha
Re: Dotemu Delays Windjammers 2 To 2021
We've been waiting since the 90's for a Windjammers 2 - one more year won't kill us. Take all the time you need to make it good!
Re: Commander Keen In Keen Dreams Comes To Switch Again, This Time With New Levels
@Kalmaro As a kid without an NES or a Genesis in the early 90's – Commander Keen was life.
Re: Hori Reveals Three New Colours For Its Split Pad Pro Switch Controller
Love the colors!
Though I hope they also start making more of their normal DPAD Joycons. I love those things, but prices have gone through the roof lately on them.
Re: Video: Stylish Arcade Racer Inertial Drift Gets New Trailer As Demo Appears On Steam
@TJuice The Asphalt games started on the DS & NGAGE, not modern smartphones.
Re: Rise: Race The Future Update Adds 60fps, Improved Graphics And More
@StefanN No that's not this game - you're thinking of Xenon Racer - that's the one that had an absolutely appalling Switch port.
Re: Rise: Race The Future Update Adds 60fps, Improved Graphics And More
Really loved this game once I got used to the handling! Highly recommended it even before this update.
Re: Video: Stylish Arcade Racer Inertial Drift Gets New Trailer As Demo Appears On Steam
@Axelay71 Seriously - I miss the days when a console launch meant there was guaranteed to be a Ridge Racer
Re: Video: Stylish Arcade Racer Inertial Drift Gets New Trailer As Demo Appears On Steam
@sarethums YES PLEASE! MORE AUTO MODELISTA!
Re: Nintendo Accused Of Hosting Asset Flip Game On Switch, And Fans Aren't Happy
@LavaTwilight Majora's was a different game based on the same engine and assets as Ocarina, but it wasn't an "asset flip" no.
Re: Nintendo Accused Of Hosting Asset Flip Game On Switch, And Fans Aren't Happy
@EVIL-C Yeah - I don't know why anyone ever thought the Nintendo Seal of Quality was related to gameplay.. that was never the case. It just meant it was an officially licensed product and would short-circuit your NES when you put the game in.
Re: Nintendo Accused Of Hosting Asset Flip Game On Switch, And Fans Aren't Happy
@Milton_Burle No joke - The Kairosoft games are all amazing actually. But get them on iOS/Android where they're only $3 instead of $15 like on Switch
Re: Review: Panzer Dragoon: Remake - Doesn’t Quite Nail The Landing
To the people complaining it only takes an hour to beat..
You've never played Star Fox or Star Fox 64 have you?
Re: Hamster Is Bringing VS. Balloon Fight To The Switch eShop Next Week
@patbacknitro18 That sounds a lot like Ballon Kid on Game Boy! I would love to see a modern take on that!
Re: QubicGames Is Giving Away 10 Free Nintendo Switch Games To Everyone, Including You
Not all of these are winners - but there's some great ones in there.
Highlights for me include - Rekt, Mana Spark and One Strike
Re: Review: Mugsters (Switch eShop)
@River3636 "All your base are belong to us" is a reference to an old NES game
Re: Fed Up Of Your Switch Not Having A Proper D-Pad? This Case Should Do The Trick
I'll stick with my Hori DPAD joycon.
Re: Review: GRID Autosport - Finally, Switch Gets The Serious Racing Game It Deserves
Can't wait! I've loved Codemaster's racing games for years! The Switch was sorely missing a good racing sim.
Guess I can finally retire Race Driver 2006 for my PSP. That was the last great portable racing sim in my eyes.
Re: Anniversary: Game Boy Turns 30 Years Old In North America
@SpicyBurrito16 Tetris is older than the Game Boy!
Re: Review: Beach Buggy Racing (Switch eShop)
This game was surprisingly great. It's a good compliment to Mario Kart as it feels different enough with all the Rally racing type physics. Not bad at all for the low price.
Re: Review: Super Toy Cars (Switch eShop)
@JayJ Fast RMX man! But yeah we could use more great racers.
Shame this version of Super Toy Crs isn't as good as the WiiU/XB1/PS4 games
Re: Review: Bleed (Switch eShop)
Great little game! Late to the party but just got it on sale for $6! Will be buying the sequel soon as it goes on sale too!
