So many good games on this list. I'd like to check out Azure Dreams, haven't played that one yet. Loved Dragon Warrior Monsters, didn't play the second game but think I might buy it.
@TheLightSpirit I remember that problem with the Gameboy, having to try and get some light all the time. Everyone takes backlights for granted these days, they don't realise how lucky they are.
Looking forward to Pokémon Snap, not sure if I'll buy it day one as I haven't got around to Super Mario 3D World yet but it's looking great so far. Gyro controls are a real plus for me.
Doesn't make sense to me why Nintendo is doing this. I hope the fans who want a copy can get a copy, feel sorry for those who might end up missing out for one reason or another.
Well we haven't had a Donkey Kong game for ages so hopefully we'll get one of those this year. Would like a Yoshi game too but not sure how interested Nintendo are in Yoshi.
Golden Sun 1 and 2 are by far my favourites. Loved Pokémon Sapphire too, even though I thought I was fed up with Pokémon at the time. Couldn't put down Final Fantasy Tactics either.
@NTELLIGENTMAN That's exactly what I was thinking. Am worried I will miss the news when they announce the Wii U eShop closing and it will be too late then. Need to download some virtual console games.
Currently using a Gameboy Player. I have recently purchased a Raphnet adapter which lets me use my SNES classic controller or Wii Pro Controller on the GameCube which is awesome. Now I can play Gameboy games with a SNES controller.
Never heard of this one before but I want it. I like the idea of being able to shoot in different directions and the energy bar instead of one hit and that's it. Can't quite figure out what's going on with the charge meter in the left hand corner though.
@Kintypoo121 Yeah I managed to complete Crash 1, the new Stormy Ascent level took over 50 lives to complete, it's ridiculously hard. Was going to try and get all the platinum time trial medals but after a while I decided to give up.
I got a Carby just the other week which I'm happy with. Haven't even updated it yet but think it works great. Much better than playing through Wii on component.
When I read the article was hoping for Oracle of Seasons and Ages remakes. However a new game would be much better. A new 2D style top down Zelda game would be nice since we already know BOTW 2 is already on is way.
Would like to give Phantom Hourglass another go but have a feeling this won't come to Switch. I'd prefer to play the game without touch controls but I think Nintendo is more likely to port A Link Between Worlds above the DS Zelda games.
Going to try out my Carby HD GameCube adaptor on a few games including the Gameboy Player. Might go for Super Monkey Ball first. Also playing Pixeljunk Shooter 2 on PS3 and deciding between Tales of Xillia or Sly Cooper 2, still not sure.
Already have the original Drill Dozer which I got on import, it's a great game. Definitely need to get Duck Hunt and I'm sure Hogan's Alley is on Wii U virtual console too. Can't believe I stopped playing half way through the e-reader levels on Super Mario Bros. 3, shame on me.
The Sonic Advance games on Switch would be awesome. Would also be great to have both Sonic Rush games from the DS and Sonic Colours from the DS too. Am still a fan of Sonic Heroes, have it on GameCube.
My favourites are Canvas Curse, Nightmare in Dreamland, Kirby Superstar Ultra and my favourite favourite is Return to Dreamland. Can't think of a Kirby game that I really dislike and have played most of them. Haven't played Planet Robobot or Star Allies yet.
Also like a lot of the Kirby spin off games and have played Kirby games since I was a kid. Still need to try Air Ride as that looks fun.
@JRJalapeno I played all of 3D World in single player on Wii U and really enjoyed it. There's going to be an option for online play with the Switch version if you want to try it but I'm quite happy with single player.
@Dm9982 I didn't manage to 100% Breath of the Wild either, it's just too much. The only other Zelda game I haven't completed 100% was collecting all the figurines in The Minish Cap on GBA because the lottery system was just silly.
Should finish God of War 2 this weekend (which is awesome) then I might go onto Puppeteer or Jak and Daxter The Precursor Legacy for PS3.
On Switch I've been playing Magicat which is a simple but fun platformer, nothing amazing but relaxing. I also play Ring Fit Adventure twice a week as it helps keep my back pain at bay.

@TheRealKyleHyde Thanks for the list, you've also got me wanting to play Hotel Dusk as well.
Re: Where To Pre-Order The Limited Edition Zelda: Skyward Sword Joy-Con
Just pre-ordered, these joy cons look lovely. I want two sets but think I'll just stick with the one pair because of the price.
Re: Axiom Verge 2 Is Launching On The Nintendo Switch This Spring
Definitely getting Axiom Verge 2.

Re: There's Still One Way To Get Super Mario 3D All-Stars' Digital Version After 31st March
Am hoping once Mario's anniversary is over we can get some Zelda anniversary announcements soon. I'm curious to know what's around the corner.

Doesn't make sense to me why Nintendo is doing this. I hope the fans who want a copy can get a copy, feel sorry for those who might end up missing out for one reason or another.
Re: Feature: Best Game Boy Advance (GBA) Games
@Ralizah Same here, didn't play Super Metroid as a kid and played it after the GBA Metroid games so Super Metroid didn't feel as good to me.
Re: Video: 2021 Is A Huge Year For Major Nintendo Anniversaries
Well we haven't had a Donkey Kong game for ages so hopefully we'll get one of those this year. Would like a Yoshi game too but not sure how interested Nintendo are in Yoshi.

If it comes to Europe then I'll definitely buy. Such cool games.

Re: New Limited-Time Item Distribution Begins In Pokémon Sword And Shield
I wasn't even aware of the event going on. Never mind.

I have a few of these anyway but definitely getting Dex and maybe Mana Spark.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (February 27th)
Still playing Tales of Xillia on PS3. Also Mole Mania on Gameboy. Happy gaming everyone.
Re: Random: Fans Take A Dig At Nintendo's Limited-Time Mario Antics With Blade Runner-Style Parody Video
Nintendo still might change their mind on this one. I'm still waiting for Super Mario Galaxy 2 on Switch.

Re: Zelda: Skyward Sword HD Tops "Best Seller" Chart On Amazon, As Pre-Orders Sell Out
Not in a rush to pre-order as have played Skyward Sword twice already. Think I'll get it eventually, at least there's no time limit on this one.
Re: Jaleco's Cybattler Is This Week's Arcade Archives Title On Nintendo Switch
Never heard of this one before but I want it. I like the idea of being able to shoot in different directions and the energy bar instead of one hit and that's it. Can't quite figure out what's going on with the charge meter in the left hand corner though.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (February 20th)
Playing Tales of Xillia on PS3. Very tempted to play 3D World instead though. Might do a bit of both.
Re: Super Smash Bros. "Body To Body" Tournament Starts Later This Week
@Not_Soos You never know it might just happen, it's about time 😁
Re: Crash Bandicoot 4 Switch eShop File Size Revealed
@Kintypoo121 Yeah I managed to complete Crash 1, the new Stormy Ascent level took over 50 lives to complete, it's ridiculously hard. Was going to try and get all the platinum time trial medals but after a while I decided to give up.
Re: Crash Bandicoot 4 Switch eShop File Size Revealed
I'm going physical but still need to complete Crash 2 and 3 from N Sane Trilogy first so it will be a while before I get to the latest Crash game.
Re: Hardware Review: The Retro-Bit Prism HD Is Another Great GameCube HDMI Adapter
I got a Carby just the other week which I'm happy with. Haven't even updated it yet but think it works great. Much better than playing through Wii on component.
Re: Zelda Remake Specialist Grezzo Is Hiring For A New "Medieval" And "Stylish" Project
When I read the article was hoping for Oracle of Seasons and Ages remakes. However a new game would be much better. A new 2D style top down Zelda game would be nice since we already know BOTW 2 is already on is way.
Re: The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles Has Been Rated For Nintendo Switch
Hoping we get The Great Ace Attorney games but trying not to get carried away just yet.
Re: Review: UnderMine - A Supremely Refined And Downright Delicious Roguelite
Added to my wishlist, sounds like I'll enjoy this one.
Re: Nintendo Registers New Trademark For The Legend Of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass
Would like to give Phantom Hourglass another go but have a feeling this won't come to Switch. I'd prefer to play the game without touch controls but I think Nintendo is more likely to port A Link Between Worlds above the DS Zelda games.
Re: Mini Review: Glyph - Takes Metroid Prime's Morph Ball Ability And Turns It Into An Entire Game
This looks unique and interesting though the time trials sound a tad off-putting. Will stick it on the wishlist for now.
Re: Select Arcade Archives Games Are Currently On Sale On The Switch eShop
Purchased a few games in the sale already. When it comes to these I find myself going for the shmups.
Re: Nintendo's Paper Mario Series Is Now 20 Years Old
The original Paper Mario is still my favourite but I do need to revisit TTYD and see if my opinion is still the same.
Re: Celebrate 25 Years Of Pokémon With This Pikachu-Themed PowerA Controller
I'm thinking about getting the 8 Bit Do SN30 + lately, the Power A one used to appeal to me but not anymore.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (February 6th)
Going to try out my Carby HD GameCube adaptor on a few games including the Gameboy Player. Might go for Super Monkey Ball first.
Also playing Pixeljunk Shooter 2 on PS3 and deciding between Tales of Xillia or Sly Cooper 2, still not sure.
Re: Video: Super Mario 3D Land Deserves to Be Remembered
I haven't forgotten 3D Land, it's a decent game but 3D World was much better for me personally.
Re: The First Review For Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury Is Now In
Have pre-ordered already as I know I'm in for a good time with 3D World.
Re: Video: 5 Special Wii U Virtual Console Games Not on Switch
Already have the original Drill Dozer which I got on import, it's a great game. Definitely need to get Duck Hunt and I'm sure Hogan's Alley is on Wii U virtual console too.
Can't believe I stopped playing half way through the e-reader levels on Super Mario Bros. 3, shame on me.
Re: Super Mario 3D World's Platforming Will Be "Snappier" On Switch, Gyro Support Included
Didn't have an issue with the running speed on the Wii U version but this is a nice addition.
Re: Video: 7 Legacy Sonic Games That Were Never Rereleased
The Sonic Advance games on Switch would be awesome. Would also be great to have both Sonic Rush games from the DS and Sonic Colours from the DS too. Am still a fan of Sonic Heroes, have it on GameCube.

Re: Atooi Knocks 80% Off Select Switch Games, But The Sale Ends Soon
Mutant Mudds is a great game, still haven't got around to Xeodrifter yet.
Re: Atooi Knocks 80% Off Select Switch Games, But The Sale Ends Soon
@nessisonett Now you've mentioned it I'll be thinking of Dexter's Laboratory too.
Re: UK Charts: Animal Crossing Stays On Top In A Week Dominated By Nintendo
@westman98 That is odd, I thought people might go for Super Mario Maker 2 instead of NSMBU DX but it's not in the top 10.
