Emulation is poor so don't get why they say it's spot on in the review Alien Storms sound is way off as is many others. And Altered Beast is a popular game still.

10/10 is a bit much for a remaster of a 10 year old game even if it is great did the Wii U version score 10/10?

It likely might get a price cut off retailers but that will be it as I think the Switch will be dead within the year and phased out to focus on Switch 2 kind of like what happened with the N64 when GameCube launched.

Can't wait this first played this 40 years ago on my Nintendo 😊

Hmmm looking forward to this remake to see what it looks like on modern systems will they update the controls.

Doesn't sit right with me this game being on Switch as I thought Nintendo games were supposed to be family friendly Nintendo should have blocked this release.

Two retro games (Minecraft and GTA V) is bizarre.

Still can't get my head around a retro game (GTA V) still selling like it is.

Currently playing this on PS1 then going to play the first remake on GBA then this second remake.

@Bunkerneath Yeah let's remaster the remaster great idea 😮‍💨

When the Wii launched I considered the Mega Drive and Snes as retro gaming when they were only around 15 years old. So the 360/PS3/Wii is definitely retro which yes means GTA V is retro even if it's mind blowing considering they still feel modern to play. It's down to slow advancements now for example the jump from Snes to PS2 is bigger in terms of graphics and the way the games play than PS2 to now is despite the much bigger gap in years.

@Arcata The Game Boy was out for 9 years before the Colour succeeded it.

How much absolutely rip off 😲

Was interested in these until I saw Limited Run 😔

What licenses are they talking about these are just repro collections.

It's crazy the lack of celebrations especially on this site for 40 years of the iconic NES.

I prefer the Nintendo versions Super Mario Bros 3 looks incredible considering it's running on a 1983 system.

Shame GTA 3 never got ported to GameCube obviously Vice City and San Andreas wouldn't of been able to due to hardware limitations as those where 2-4GB in size so swapping discs every time you swapped city's especially during a mission in a fast paced open world game like GTA would have been too much of a compromise.

@progx Red Dead 1 is on PS2 it was never released on PS3.

Pre ordered mine not sure why it comes with a switch rather than a button and at that price 2 controllers would of been nice. Plus why Streets of Rage 1 over the messy but still fun Streets of Rage 3 and why not throw Alien Storm on there and maybe even Mortal Kombat. Lineup is average compared to the Mega Drive 1 mini.

Just give us Mario Kart 9 already to take full advantage of the next gen power of the Switch.

Good can't believe this was going to be released in the first place this a Nintendo handheld Nintendo so it's a family system some of the adult games slipping through the cracks uncensored is unlike Nintendo. If Nintendo wanted to compete in the Adult arena they would have released a dedicated home console.

Great to see this getting another remake the remake in 2004 was also good.

This looks out of place on Switch with it being a family system should have released this on PS5 instead. But saying that I didn't think a remake of House of the Dead was necessary anyway.

Haven't used my Wii for a long time it's crazy to think I used to use it a lot for retro games from the Virtual Console now the Wii is a retro console itself.

Surprised there wasn't a Xenoblade Chronicles X remaster to be honest.

Of course it includes Switch as the Switch isn't a rival to the Xbox as the Switch is mainly a handheld. The PS5 however will likely no longer receive sny games.

I'm buying this then if it takes 30 years to arrive and I'm no longer here I'm sure my Son will play it 😄

Well the PlayStation Vita is dead so that's hardly surprising it outsold it and there is no other handheld on the market to compete with Switch there on their own.

Would have been perfect to release them on the N64 in 2001. Don't forget the N64 was the only 5th gen console that could hold its own graphically against the Dreamcast and PS2 thanks to its powerful 64-bit cpu and of course GPU.

@GrailUK Exactly lol 😆

@GrailUK Try playing these remasters and the originals before both making yourselves look foolish. These look and play far worse than the originals they are a buggy mess.

@KillerBOB These actually look and play worse than the originals though these are a buggy mess that's the whole point. Even if they just put the original PS2 games on a Switch card they would have been better off rather than releasing them in this state.

How is its price not a negative £50 for
a remaster of one game from a retro console unbelievable how the industry has changed this would have been a 6 or 7 at best due to it not being sold at a budget price 10 years ago.

My Top 10
1. Sonic 3 & Knuckles
2. Sonic the Hedgehog CD
3. Sonic the Hedgehog (Master System)
4. Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (Mega Drive)
5. Sonic Adventure 2 (Dreamcast)
6. Sonic Adventure (Dreamcast)
7. Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (Master System)
8. Sonic Generations (Xbox 360/PS3)
9. Sonic Rush
10 Sonic All Stars Racing Transformed

Been tempted to get a Switch for a while as I love handhelds but when the consoles Top 2 games are Wii U remasters it really makes me question if I should take the plunge its only Fire Emblem and one or two other games that take my interest. Change my mind peeps.

Bought one much later off a friend in the early 2000s has a fantastic lineup for a console that was only out for 4 years here in the UK. Also the last home console to use cartridges which helped kill it. causing a shock allowing a none gaming company to dominate the industry which wasn't thought possible at that point.

Nintendo Switch is a great handheld it's like a home console experience on the go reminds of the Nomad but with its own game library and also what the Vita could have been. If Nintendo could launch a 14 teraflop home console alongside it and bring back the 3rd party support they could be successful in both arenas. However it looks like they've bowed out of the home console market for good.

Don't buy repros only official releases so not for me.

To be fair most households by multiple of the same handheld for multiplayer purposes so the Switch is no different.

One of the best handhelds Nintendo has ever made it's bound to overtake the Wii but more importantly it's older handheld siblings the Game Boy and DS.

Great design for the kids who want a Switch.

Doesn’t deserve more than a 6/10 in my opinion for one simple reason price. Literally 3 decades old games ported with next to nothing done with them yet not sold at a budget price is ridiculous. Even Crash and Spyro Trilogy where full remakes yet still sold at budget price. Don’t get me wrong these are classics but should be budget price simple as.

@BrokenDpadGamer because the game is 4 years old and last gen so should be budget price simple as this would have been given a 5/10 20 years ago for being a re release of a game at full price not sure why it seem a to be more accepting now are Nintendo becoming like Apple and people will give it a high score as long as Nintendo put their name on it.

Wait thought Nintendo didn't allow games like this that's one of the reasons they've never went all in on a dedicated Home console since the GameCube. Well if they are allowing games like these they may as well release a dedicated home console with specs on par with other consoles. Can you imagine a dedicated Home Console from Nintendo it would have all their amazing 1st party games plus all the 3rd party games too, released in the 2020s it would push Sony out of the Market and put them back on top again.

Can't really compare the launch of a handheld with some home console features to a full on next generation console reveal however I'm a bit underwhelmed with the PS5 especially not even twice as much GPU power as the last generation Xbox One X I was expecting 14 Teraflops but oh well.

@NintoRich wasn't confusing at all he said gamers would rather just play depressing games in their rooms (referring to Japanese gamers)so as the N64 bombed in Japan it was obvious he was having a dig at the PlayStation and not his own console the N64 which no one bought not sure why people thought other wise possibly the top commenter that made the mistake maybe caused the confusion.

The Nintendo 64 obviously failed due to using cartridges had they used CD's they would have kept most exclusive 3rd party support and pushed Sony out of the market. However Nintendo have never really recovered from this blunder they tried to repair the damage with the GameCube but that failed and they basically gave up going a different route with the Wii and Wii U before finally bowing out of the home console market entirely and releasing the successful handheld the Switch that can connect to the TV for a bigger viewing experience like the Nomad. It's a shame this blunder happened as can you imagine a full specced Nintendo home console was out today with all the awesome 3rd party games like Read Dead II and Resident Evil 7 etc along with their incredible 1st party lineup you wouldn't even need to buy a second console Nintendo would monopolize the industry. Now sadly the industry is ruled by a entertainment company (Sony) and a software company (Microsoft) yet gaming companies like Atari and Sega got pushed out and Nintendo gave up due to poor management.

It's great that last gen consoles like Xbox One and PS4 are still doing well sales wise. Will be interesting to see if Sony can catch up to Switch as 40 million strong and it's next gen rivals haven't even launched yet.

Why not just release it digital only if it's not all on the card or better yet use a 32GB card. This is worse than the PS4 as the Switch is a handheld so what if I was on holiday and decided to grab this game for the plane journey home like I do with all my other handhelds I wouldn't be able to play it ridiculous.
