@Otoemetry Yeah I know. It's extremely disappointing. The belief was they were rotating each season. New or returning stage and a new King Salmonid, but now sadly it appears that is not the case. Unless there is still a new King coming and they're just keeping him in secrecy for the upcoming Big Run. Possible at least.. Also, aren't some of those weird Salmon Run locker stickers supposed to be some of the new Kings? Surely there's going to be more than just Coho and boros..
@PKDuckman Do mods for those actually exist? I know the N64 Quake 1 mod was already a thing upon Quake Remastered's release so they included it day 1, but I've not heard of mods for the PS1 and N64 versions of Quake 2.
I didn't even know they had been offline this whole time LOL. I spent countless hours playing MK 8 and Splatoon on my Wii U, makes me slightly nostalgic. However, unless you're someone who is obsessed with firehopping, I can't see any reason to play the original MK 8. It's just so lacking in content compared to Deluxe. I do miss some of those stages(come back salt spray rig!) and the music from Splatoon, but still, 3 is vastly superior in almost every regard and Splatoon 1 doesn't even have my beloved Salmon Run, so really no desire to play it now.
LOL! This garbage bottom feeder developer is the literal Asylum of game developers! [If you don't know who Asylum is, look them up. Ever heard of the Shark Tornado movies? Yep, that's them.]
@marcelominucelli For real, it's really infuriating. What is Nintendo's obnoxious obsession with this crappy mobile game that hardly anyone plays? Last I checked MK 8 Deluxe was the big dog. Has sold a mind boggling 54 million copies.
@HammerGalladeBro "-I'm disappointed that GBA Sunset Wilds doesn't transition to night like in the original, but the lack of transition was also a thing in MKT."
That is incorrect. It does transition to night in Tour.
Give me a break.. It doesn't need any "grand new idea." It's an anti-gravity racer. You give it beautiful modern HD graphics, great courses and some great music. Give it some well designed online racing like Mario Kart 8 and you're good to go. Also, Mario Kart and F-Zero co-existed just fine for years. Both series made their debut on the SNES and continued on together on the various home consoles and handhelds, no prob. It wasn't until the Wii era that Nintendo decided for no good reason to just suddenly abandon F-Zero. Get bent with this nonsense Nintendo.
I think pretty much everyone had given up hope of Gamecube coming to NSO by now. This reissue thing is a farce though. Super Mario Sunshine, a couple Pikmin, one Metroid Prime out of a trilogy.. That's nothing. Gamecube had a library of over 600 games. That's not to say that the current NSO offerings aren't lacking either, but they're at least a lot more substantial than that.
I guess this dingleberry missed the entire Wii era when they put 5 Call of Duty's on the console. Surely there must have been a 'market' for them to keep porting over CoD's over and over again.
Well at least we now have an official explanation why no CoD ever came to the Switch. I was always dumbfounded that the Wii U managed to get 2 entries while the mega-success Switch did not. Just absolutely absurd. Although his argument is still no excuse. It's understandable to have been skeptical of the Switch at launch, especially when considering the failure of the Wii U that had just occured, but they could have and should have reversed course when they saw the Switch selling like gangbusters week after week, month after month, year after year. Shameful and pathetic Activision. Not that I really even like CoD very much. I just like to play Zombies.
Nice! I know Quake 1 is better, but still happy to see the sequel get some love. I wonder if a Quake 3 remaster could still happen as well? Give it crossplay and that would be bangin.
@Jeronan Uhh what? I love all 3 of the games, but 3 bests 2 in nearly every aspect. Yeah, it has problems, but they are constantly fixing and improving things.
@SeantheDon29 Uhm, a new entry is not coming to the Switch, guaranteed. MK 8 Deluxe IS the Switch's Mario Kart. We won't see a new game until the Switch's successor is here, which is probably 1 to 2 years away.
Glad to see, but what an absolutely stupid name. Guess they're taking a page out of Microsoft's playbook. Also, I wonder what happened to that Switch port of the MK trilogy that was announced a few years back? IIRC it was the arcade versions of 1-3. Damn shame as I'm all about that classic MK.
@rockodoodle Actually it's technically older than that as this game is an enhanced port of Fast Racing Neo for the Wii U which came out in 2015, but who cares? Mario Kart 8 is even older and still going strong. This is still a great racer and porbably the closest we're going to get to a F-Zero for the Switch.
While it is an excellent port, Street Fighter 2 seems unnecessary when you can get the Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection for cheap and it has the superior arcade versions of every Street Fighter up to Street fighter 3: 3rd Strike and has online play for several of the games.
@Grackler For real.. It makes the game duller. You have this massive selection of karts and characters and only 30% of them are even used. The Wii U MK 8 had the same problem where you'd hop online and it was just a sea of Mortons/Blue Falcons. Strangely enough the Japanese players always seem to be the worst offenders with this.
I played some of the one that's on the SNES Switch Online(super valis 4 i think?) and didn't care for it. Maybe some of these other ones are better, but no way I'm shelling out 40 bucks for this.
Fun fact: The infamous German film director Uwe Boll turned this game into one if his awful video game movies. The game is a masterpiece compared to the pure trash that Uwe Boll made. LOL.
Hard to believe the Wii U got 2 of them while the mega successful Switch has yet to see any(and probably never will as its hardware is so long in the tooth now) . Makes no sense.
CoD is one tired ass, stale series, but I do love me some Zombies. I know it will never happen, but a sort of Zombies Ultimate collection that gathers all the various maps and modes would be awesome
Wish they would add the TurboGrafx-16. I loved playing it on the original Wii Virtual Console. A lot of gems in that catalog like Castlevania: Rondo of Blood and Lords of Thunder.
@croz I agree that the boarders suck. I can't believe Nintendo still hasn't made it possible to disable them. Like why do they insist on us having the gray checkerboards on the sides? You do realize though that Goldeneye is the first game to not make you look at the checkerboard since it can be switched to 16:9 widescreen? Which is frankly the ONLY way to play the game.
