I love these remastered GBA tracks, although some turn out better then others. Cheeseland does not really feel like racing on cheese and there's no mice. Then there's the sunset wilds situation.
@Sisilly_G i found the NA version much sexier with the open back, raven black hair flowing in the wind and mysterious smile rather than "woman ambushing you from above".
North America. Shaona's back and her looking towards the camera is much more interesting. The guy with the sword and pistol going on an adventure also sells this game, even though you don't actually play as him.
@Serpenterror I would love a ps2-collection, because i never got to play these games. Lords of Shadow-collection would also be cool. Castlevania 64 will probably never be released again for the strangest of reasons.
I still have to buy Capcom's Fighting Collection, which is the one with all those Datkstalker.gamesand Red Earth. It was not on this list, if i'm correct.
They forgot the homeless people in the LA track. Sunset Wilds looks very much like the gba-track. Unlike previous super circuit tracks where they changed everything.
Just let Sega handle it. Make a couple of amiibo, limited edition pro-controller. Include online. It's not that complicated.
They can sell some season passes. Make ridiculous money. Then make an animated movie. And then comes the merchandise.
And there needs to be an F-Zero ride in themeparcs. Bye, bye Cars. Hello F-Zero.
Just speculating, but the next system is going to be bigger and more powerful. It's just like the switch, but it's not backwards compatible. Expect all popular Nintendo titles, with amazing graphics, but more expensive and the same controls you have come to expect.
I use the Wii weekly with people recovering. The simple joy of Wii sports and Wii Fit plus is still a lot of fun and the sd graphics are less stressful for the mind.
Great list of games. Sadly it does not mention any racing games.
WRC 8 and 10, V-rally 4, Need for Speed hot pursuit, Burnout Paradise, Snowrunner, Truck Driver, Crash Bandicoot Racing, Team Sonic Racing, Gridd Autosport, Nickelodeon Kart.
They are all on sale for up to 90% discount.
Finished the game after 200 hours. I could not find the nethertemple-thing and a lot of time exploring. I'll probably go back to this game if the dlc is good.
@Poodlestargenerica i love this track, because of the rain and blimp. It would be awesome to have this track in MK8 deluxe. The more so as i was convinced we'd only get sunset wilds from super circuit.
They're working on Dragon's Dogma 2. That's going to be huge. I hope they give Nintendo some pointers on next system specs so we don' t get that cloud-stuff.
This list is all wrong. I have not played Legends and the Kid Dracula game on gameboy. The right order is: 1.Castlevania 64 2.Super Castlevania 4 3.Legacy of Darkness 4.Rondo of Blood 5.Vampire's Kiss 6.Castlevania 7.Lords of Shadow, Mirror of Fate 8.Portait of Ruin 9.Order of Ecclesia 10.Judgment 11.the Adventure Rebirth 12.Bloodlines 13.Harmony of Dissonance 14.Dawn of Sorrow 15.Aria of Sorrow 16.Circle of the Moon 17.Vampire's Curse 18.Belmont's Revenge 19.Vampire Killer 20.Simon's Quest 21.the Adventure 22.Kid Dracula NES 23.Kid Dracula GB 24.Legends 25.Haunted Castle
I hope they'll put them on the eShop too. I'm not familiar with these games but having them available is wonderful compared to being part of some sort of subscription service. Hope we'll see more collections like this.
I had a good time playing the gamecube and Wii U games. Went to the Remagen last year only to find the town doesn't look anything like in cod finest hour.
I got the Urban Trial games, Japanese rail games, Stella Glow and Culdcept Revolt on sale. Also bought Zelda OoT, MM, LBW, Castlevania MoF, Metroid Samus Returns, bunch of dlc and couple of themes.
I bought Bomberman R on launch day. There really wasn't that much too play then. Konami showed up with an exclusive title. All other Japanese developers were a no show and didn't release anything until they saw the Switch was selling. I'll buy R2 day 1.
I got one called "Yoshiwara Lament" which has really nice music. Also all free themes are great, such as Sonic 25 anniversary, Radiant Historia, Etrian Odessey Nexus and others.
Bit of topic, but i'm having trouble opening the eShop for Mario Golf World Tour dlc. Might be just me, or just Europe. Perhaps they also took that down. Maybe somebody can check?
I was looking for some 3ds games on cardridge that are not in the eShop, but they are quickly disappearing already. There will probably never be a system like 3ds or Wii U ever again. The fomo is real.
I played the gba games. They were ok at best. Lots of weird stuff that is impossible to discover without a walkthrough. The 3DS game was fine. Dread was overpriced. I'll probably buy Prime Remastered when it's at retail.

Re: Talking Point: Which Nintendo IP Should 'Switch 2' Launch With?
The obvious choice is a new Mario Kart.
Then bring on the remasters.
Re: Switch eShop's Massive QuakeCon Sale Includes DOOM & More For "Lowest Prices Ever"
Doom Eternal totally sucks in my opinion. Worst first player platforming ever.
Doom Eternal is no fun.
Re: Reminder: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Xenoblade Chronicles amiibo Are Out Today
@nukatha right.
Re: Reminder: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Xenoblade Chronicles amiibo Are Out Today
I just got them from the store. They look great. Now we need that Kingdom Hearts kid.
Re: Mario Kart Tour Welcomes The Summer With A Classic GBA Track In Upcoming 'Sunshine Tour'
I love these remastered GBA tracks, although some turn out better then others. Cheeseland does not really feel like racing on cheese and there's no mice. Then there's the sunset wilds situation.

Re: Microsoft Given All-Clear In The US To Acquire Activision Blizzard
People are better of just not buying these companies' products.
Re: Review: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass Wave 5 - A Good, But Not Great, Penultimate Lap
This wave could have used a bit more exciting tracks. A DK-mountain or Bowser's Castle.
And an actual sunset ofcourse. Hope they fix that.
Re: Castlevania Advance Collection Scores A Physical Switch Release, Pre-Orders Open July 28th
@Serpenterror
I would love a ps2-collection, because i never got to play these games. Lords of Shadow-collection would also be cool.
Castlevania 64 will probably never be released again for the strangest of reasons.

Re: Mario Kart Tour Gains New City Circuit In Upcoming Night Tour Update
Wasn't there a Rome City Circuit in Gran Turismo? Would be great to have in MK8 deluxe, but then there are only so many slots left.
Re: Random: Disgruntled Splatoon 3 Fan Complains Directly To Nintendo's President About Male Poses
Good thing Nintendo life is reporting this story and help get this guy's point across.
Re: Poll: What Did You Think Of Today's Nintendo Direct?
It's obvious Nintendo is putting all their efforts in software for the next system.
Most of the games showcased were made by third parties.

I wasn't going to buy this when i saw it didn't have the twin snakes version of mgs1, but the abstract ps1 version.
Re: Baten Kaitos I & II HD Remaster Launches On Nintendo Switch This September
I might get this on sale. Would have been a day 1 purchase if it had the English voices.
Re: Poll: Are You Still Playing Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom?
Finished the game after 200 hours. I could not find the nethertemple-thing and a lot of time exploring.
I'll probably go back to this game if the dlc is good.
Re: Poll: Are You Excited About Ubisoft's Metroidvania "Inspired" Prince Of Persia Platformer?
Hopefully they release this at mid-range price. I enjoyed every PoP Game except for the old 2d game, which was hidden in sands of time.
Re: Prince Of Persia Is Back With Brand New Title, Out January 2024 On Switch
@Zidentia "immortals" refers to the Persian army's elite soldiers. Go watch the movie "300". Classic.
Re: Mario Kart Tour Adds Three Classic Circuits In Upcoming 'Mario Vs. Luigi' Update
@Poodlestargenerica i love this track, because of the rain and blimp. It would be awesome to have this track in MK8 deluxe. The more so as i was convinced we'd only get sunset wilds from super circuit.

Re: Microsoft's Activision Blizzard Acquisition Has Been Officially Blocked In The UK
When this deal goed through, people in England would have to import their Micro-Vision games.
Or just skip them entirely.
Re: The Jurassic Park Games Are Getting A 30th Anniversary Retro Collection
I hope they'll put them on the eShop too. I'm not familiar with these games but having them available is wonderful compared to being part of some sort of subscription service.
Hope we'll see more collections like this.
Re: Talking Point: Which Nintendo Franchise Should Illumination Tackle Next?
Metroid. Zero Suit Samus, space monsters.
The script kind of writes itself.

Together they were 12 euros.
It's still open 'til Monday.

Re: Konami Teases "More" Bomberman On 6th Anniversary Of Super Bomberman R
I bought Bomberman R on launch day. There really wasn't that much too play then. Konami showed up with an exclusive title. All other Japanese developers were a no show and didn't release anything until they saw the Switch was selling. I'll buy R2 day 1.
Re: Nintendo Download: 2nd March (North America)
There's a demo for Fitness Boxing North Star. I had problems with registering uppercuts.
Knockout Fitness is much better, i.m.o..

Got it last week.
Re: You'll Have One Year To Transfer Funds Once 3DS & Wii U eShops Close, Says Nintendo

Re: Baten Kaitos Remasters Have Japanese VO Only, Frame Rate, File Size Revealed
Too bad there is only Japanese voices. Can't they just audio-rip them from the original games?
Re: Baten Kaitos I&II HD Remaster Polishes Up Two Cult GameCube RPGs For Switch
Must buy for me. Hopefully this will lead to a new Baten Kairos game.
