Can I just enjoy my current OG Switch? The relentless internet obsession over some hardware revision is unbearable. I don't have any interest in throwing down $400 bucks or whatever for some Switch revision. Money doesn't grow on trees.

@karatekid1612 Gotcha. Funny thing I just realized too is that even if Konami still owned the rights, they still wouldn't release the TMNT games for the NES & SNES Switch Online! They'd surely release a collection like they did with Castlevania and Contra. Although that would still be very welcome! It appears after the Virtual Console on the Wii and Wii U, Konami and Capcom realized they can make more money by just releasing their own collections on the eShop. Heh.

@Angelic_Lapras_King I find arranging the titles in alphabetical order helps out a lot.

@karatekid1612 Dude, this has been explained a billion times. TMNT is a licensed intellectual property and that's why you pretty much never see any re-releases of the classic Konami TMNT games. Believe me, pretty much any of us old fogies who grew up with the those games wants them on our Switch. Frankly, you're better off buying the real hardware and carts or using not so legal emulation methods if you want to play them.
Copyrights can really suck some times, but it is what it is.

Played the first stage and hated it.

@Zach777 So you think they're going to drop DLC at the E3 Direct? I am not going to get my hopes, but it's possible. Some new hefty DLC or a Mario Kart 9 are really needed at this point.

This is one reason my Switch mostly stays in the dock and when it does hit the road it travels in a sturdy carry case.

I just bought it because it was 50% off on the eShop and I am very happy with it. A lot of content for the money. Some of the comments here say there's no online play, but there most definitely is. Maybe it was patched in? Problem is, no one is actually playing it online. I have yet to find an active game. Shame as I think death match and co-op would be really fun. I haven't played 3 yet so I cannot confirm if it still has any performance issues. Also, this is the first time any of these games have been on a Nintendo console, which I think is pretty significant. As someone who had a Wii and Wii U, it was a real bummer that they never got games like this, Doom, Duke Nukem etc. Of course the Gamecube had The Next Encounter, but honestly this is a lot better than just one exclusive game.

@TanukiTrooper I don't think Splatoon 3 is going to split the player base. The vast majority of people who are still playing Splaatoon 2 now, years after its release, are going to buy 3. If Activision can crank out a new CoD every single year, Nintendo can put out a new Splatoon every 4-5 years.

@Expa0 Couldn't disagree more. I love how streamlined MK 8 is. It has just enough trademark MK chaos to be fun, but not too much like Double Dash and Wii do. I was frankly extremely disappointed with Team Crash Racing. The BS drifting mechanics are rage inducing! Also, the online lobbies are pretty barren. It has been collecting dust for months now. At least I only paid 20 bucks for it..

If there is not going to be a Mario Kart 9 for the Switch, new DLC is desperately needed. 48 tracks is nothing to scoff at, but I've been racing those same 48 tracks since 2015(since i had mk8 on my wii u and all of its dlc). As great as many of those tracks are, I am simply burned out on them and this is the primary reason I no longer fire the game up for online races almost daily like I did with the Wii U version back in the day. With such a massive install base, imagine how well some new DLC packs would sell! Nintendo would rake in the $$$.

@LEGEND_MARIOID I don't ever see the first game go on sale, so don't get your hopes up.

@stevep I see. So this House of the Dead remake is the first one to be worth a damn, assuming the controls are good.

Are there any light gun games currently on the Switch? I know there was a bunch on the Wii, but if any have come out on Switch, it seems they have been ignored.

Nice! I read an interview with a guy from Krome saying they would like to bring HD versions of 2 and 3 to the Switch. Hopefully 3 will come as well.

Could care less because I have my physical copy. Its wack, but they warned us from the beginning this was going to happen.

Looks like low rent garbage. Awful music too. I'll stick with FAST RMX even though no one plays it online anymore! 😡

Ok, so is it just me or is there a bug with the music? The music first plays after a stage loads, but then suddenly stops ie. it doesn't loop the track. I've tried both the N64 and PC soundtracks, same result with both. Hopefully they patch this.

2021 now. I officially give up all hope. Thanks for nothing. 😡

Don't expect Rage Wars or Turok 3 for that matter because those were N64 exclusive. Nightdive only remasters games that had a PC release.

Can't believe this STILL has not been released! All the countless garbage games that have no problem getting on the eShop, yet this happens to a critically acclaimed game? Unreal..

Years later I am still waiting for the HD Metroid Prime Trilogy some journalist assured us was coming.

Did I miss something? I thought everyone hated Blizzard now and no longer bought their software because of that whole Hong Kong thing.

@MS7000 I don't really see that being an issue with the Switch having such a massive install base(thats still growing rapidly!). Hell, they pump out a new Call of Duty every single year and it works. Splatoon 1 still has an active community and that's on a dead, 8 year old console that only sold roughly 14 million units.

@Noble_Haltmann That might be the motivation the developers have to produce another one for the Switch. It's common knowledge that 2 was very similar to 1 because they had a really short development cycle for it. This one on the other hand is coming out 5 years later. I expect it will it expand and change a lot while keeping the same basic formula that the hardcore fans demand at this point.

I see no reason not to include ALL of the stages from 1 & 2. There really doesn't need to be an artificial limit, the more the merrier. If Smash Bros can do this, then so can Splatoon(and mario kart for that matter!). They also seriously need to increase the map rotations to at least 3 or 4 per cycle or allow voting. That nonsense in the first 2 games where only Splatfests would get 3 map rotations was just stupid.

Oy, I can't wait a year! So hyped! To say I love Splatoon is an understatement. Also, at long last, the Octolings are going to have more than just 2 hair styles available. 😄

@Rosona Except Nintendo isn't even doing what Activision does with CoD. They aren't dropping a new Splatoon every year. Splatoon 2 was an early Switch release in 2017 and 3 here is releasing in 2022. That's actually a much larger gap than 1 and 2 had, which was only 2 years. Also, to presume that this can or should be DLC based on one trailer to a game very much still in development is absurd.. And incorrect, 2 most definitely did have a single player story driven campaign and also had a hefty second single player campaign added to it with the Octo Expansion DLC. To be frank, if single player story driven gameplay is what you're looking for, Splatoon is not for you. The online multiplayer is the main feature in Splatoon and is what keeps us hardcore fans coming back over and over again. If Splatoon was just a single player experience, I would definitely not still be playing it in 2021.

@Rosona Booo! 👎If Activison can crap out a new Call of Doody every single year, Nintendo can make another Splatoon for the same console.

@rushiosan You mean the Virtual Console where we had to pay 5 a pop for NES games and 8 a pop for SNES games?

Maybe I am just getting too hyped, but I feel like some big shiz is gonna be dropped. I mean this is the first real Direct in over a year and it is (i think) the longest one Nintendo has ever done.

@VenomousAlbino All Smash Bros have been a sh$t show online. Brawl was the worst offender.

@Mynameishello "Finally" isn't really accurate. Super Turrican 1 & 2 and Mega Turrican were all available on the Wii Virtual Console back in the day.

Nintendo Life; Where we go ballistic over the exclusion of a Turrican game, but barely bat an eye over the exclusion of Super Mario Galaxy 2 in the 3D All Stars collection. Derp.

I would stay away. The drifting mechanics are rage inducing.

In terms of features, yes, it is very bare bones and simple. But it excells at it's primary function which is to emulate the SNES hardware. Hop on YouTube and compare footage from some of the games running on an actual SNES vs thr NSO emulator and you will see.

@Razer Come on guy; FOCUS. I made no mention of NSO as a whole, it's value, quality or lack there of. I honed in on your comment about the emulator being "shoddy" because that is complete nonsense. You're entitled to your own opinions, not your own facts. As for NSO, if you feel it is crap and not worth $20 a year, then don't subscribe to it. No one is forcing you to. But move on with your life. Your extreme negativity is exhausting, irritating and has no place here.

@Razer What are you smoking?! Shoddy emulator? That emulator is excellent! The rest your overly negative drivel I will not even address. Rubbish comment. 🙄

@Sun-Wu_Goku Mega Man and Street Fighter 2 are already available in their own collections on the Switch, that's why none of them are on NSO. No chance of any TMNT games because of licensing.

@John_Koshiro Heh. The infamous "The Chasm" aka the speedrunners nightmare.

I love the Evil Dead trilogy, the tv series, Ash and Bruce Campbell, so count me in!

I finally bought this and man, I'm not so sure I should have. The drifting mechanics are brutal and frustrating. A big turn off. It's a quality kart racer as a whole, but I can't get past the horrid drifting. Also it seems like the online has already died. Maybe it depends on the time of day?shrug It was a ghost town when I hopped on. MK 8 on the other hand is full of players 24/7.

@Mynameishello Duke3D.exe? WTF? LOL!

Pff. I got the Bioshock Collection physical on Amazon for 20 bucks.

1st world problems.

@Pod Ouch. Did you feel that burn today? Looks like you're going to see me in the principals office now. grin

@Richnj To be fair the PC source ports have done widescreen for years now. It is a very welcome addition though and a big improvement over the semi-widescreen with the image stretched out garbage mode that these versions originally had.

@Isaix Not sure where you heard that, but Doom 2 is widely regarded as the better game. To be fair, it honestly more of an expansion of the first game than a full blown sequel, but it has more enemies and the beloved super shotgun, and the maps are larger and more detailed. I do prefer the music in the original though.

I love the show(and the original trilogy of movies), but the game looks like junk.

@LatsaSpege "Rare Replay Confirmed!!"

🤦‍♂️
