And the gameplay to new lows.

@CANOEberry You can, but it is industry standard to use the word "copies" when referring to physical media. And yes, I know a physical version is coming. I've been patiently waiting for it.

Copies? Copies of what? There's no physical version yet.

👎Not a single game in there I'm interested in. So bummed we didn't get a proper June Direct this year.

I hate to be a negative Nancy, but that was just lame-o for me. I don't think there was even a single game shown that I would be interested in. I can't believe this is what we got instead of the standard big E3 Direct. sigh

Oy vey.. 🤦‍♂️Where's that next batch of Mario Kart DLC?

Eww. I love me my retro FPS, but that's just awful. No thank you.

@octokid I'm biased towards Seaskape from Splatoon 1. That's a banger! 🕺

Did these even ever release? As far as I can tell, they got cancelled or something.. I have the Flashback collection and it's great, but the absence of Super Turrican 2 blows..

@Moistnado Bugger off.

@LP09 I've been wanting to get Strange Brigade, but fear the servers are ghost towns now. Is there still an active player base?

@kkslider5552000 I always thought the same thing as well and that might still be the case with Capcom, but I'm not so sure about Konami because they put Castlevania Bloodlines and Contra Hard Corps on the Genesis/Mega Drive NSO.

@wizzgamer That was so stupid. A "family" system? What does that even mean? The Switch has plenty of violent horror games and M rated games in general. Doom, Resident Evil, Zombie Army, Mortal Kombat 11, Friday the 13th, Dead by Daylight. Just to name a few. Should the GTA Trilogy not be on the Switch since it's a "family" system? SMH. BTW, most of Nintendo's marketing of the Switch has been targeted at teens and young adults, not little children and families.

How is Saturn emulation these days?

@Not_Soos The first Earthworm Jim was on the SNES.

@JR150 There's the very Overwatch like Paladins and the very COD like Warface. Both are free to play so may as well give them a try if you haven't yet. Oh yeah, there's also Apex Legends which is also free to play.

Unless it has Zombies, count me out. I love how they droppped 2 CoD's on one of Nintendo's biggest failures, but have completely ignored the now 100 million plus juggernaut that is the Switch for years now. Activision logic. 🤦‍♂️

It's vital they dump it. Such a waste of resources.

@HammerGalladeBro Apparently its based on WarioWare. I know, I had no idea either..

Overall I'm quite happy. The tracks look better than expected, though I agree with the person who said the grass texture is just fugly. I really hope they replace it via a patch, but that seems ulikely knowing Nintendo. My biggest complaint is that you can't play them online yet! Seriously Nintendo? I have no interest in racing against the boring ass bots.

Wait? These courses won't be available for online races until the 21st? I really hope that's not the case!

@Crumpet123 Yeah, I'm assuming it was just a mistake and they'll fix it in an update.

Ugh.. Still not available in the US. When does it go live here? I'm in Pacific time and its 5:30 here.

@TKundNobody Alien Soldier is awesome and very fun. Overlooked gem.

@FishyS Well they did add Earthbound and Earthbound Beginnings last month.

Who cares.. They've already sold over a 100 million.

It's frankly not as good as I remember. The courses are pretty simplistic and boring. Even by N64 standards the game is pretty fugly. I wish everyone would just play Fast RMX instead. Beautiful modern HD graphics, 60fps and full proper lag free online.

OMFG.. Was 100% convinced this would never happen(because of the licensing issues). I am very happy to have been wrong.

Who's ready for lag ridden split screen multiplayer? 😑

Shame you'll still get Joycon drift after a couple months. LOL.

@Yosher @somebread I see.. Thank you for the info gentlemen. A little disappointing, but I understand why Nintendo is doing it that way. They obviously want everyone to renew every year..

@Yosher Is that confirmed though? How would anyone know at this point if the DLC vanishes if you cancel your Expansion Pack membership?

@dustinprewitt Personally I can't stand the Wii U Majora's Mask or the Wii U Virtual
Console in general because of that damn dark filter on all the games. More so a shame the Wii VC is long gone now... It was the OG and still the best. To think we got TurboGrafx-16/PC Engine masterpieces like Rondo of Blood and Lords of Thunder on there! Fat chance of that ever happening on the Switch.

@Wexter Not sure what you mean by copy and paste, I didn't read your comment. To answer your question, why are assuming Nintendo would accrue any cost here? Nightdive self funds most of their remasters. If Nightdive wants to pay for it and put in the man hours, Nintendo should allow them.

Shameful Nintendo.. Nightdive have long since proven they are masters of their craft.

@octokid Yes, of course you can. Just as you could with the DLC for the Wii U version of 8. They mentioned this in the trailer, not sure how you missed that.

@ChimpHunter 100% with you! I likewise have the EP, so I'm getting this truckload of new content for free essentially. My biggest gripe with Deluxe was that it's focus was all on the Battle Mode, which admittedly did need to be fixed as it was a joke in the Wii U version, but I like to race! It took forever but here comes Nintendo with "Hows 48 more tracks sound to you?" LOL. I'm anxiously awaiting March 18th. MK 9 can wait until the Switch successor is here.

@rjejr Uhm, actually, Splatoon 2 is 4 and a half years old now and will be 5 years old by the time 3 releases this Summer. BTW, 2 came out only 2 years after the 1st game..

Yeah, August 18th is too late. Summer is coming to a close at that point. Splatoon 1 came out May 28th and Splatoon 2 came out July 21st. So June seems pretty likely for 3.

@NinChocolate To each their own of course, but I find Ranked Battle and Salmon Run to be FAR more fun than Turf War. After I unlock Ranked, the only time I touch Turf is when there is a Splatfest.

I very much enjoyed Trilogy, so I shall be getting this. I've also been highly tempted to get Strange Brigade, but I fear no one is playing it online anymore, making it essentially worthless.

@UltimateOtaku91 You're definitely on your own. You don't seem to grasp how these multiplayer arena shooters work. You think this is bad? Take a look at Activision whom pumps out a new Call of Duty every year. Nor can you even properly judge a game still in development with some short trailers.. I think if you had your way they would change up the formula so much that the hardcore fanbase(like myself) would revolt. I want new and FRESH, but also want the core game to be the same Splatoon I fell in love with on the Wii U 7 years ago. Thank you.

Hopefully it has a strong online community when that is added. I'm always saddened when quality racers on the Switch that are not Mario Kart(see fast rmx) quickly turn into ghost towns.the only

@Crono1973 The Cookie Monster, I mean Arlo, just cashed in with a 12 minute video. sigh

The lack of new content is why I mostly abandoned the game. Burned out on racing those same tracks for years and years now. Hopefully MK 9 is real since Nintendo is clearly never producing more DLC for 8.

@Papichulo The emulator is far from crappy.

@Funkensour Quake does, but Dusk does not because it is single player only.

Wasn't a Mortal Kombat trilogy collection supposed to be coming to the Switch? WTF happened?

@Jamesonn They
already gave us tons of free DLC for 2.
