The real nice thing is that this time, if Nintendo decides not to create a VC emulator for a particular retro platform (cough, Genesis), that won't get in the way of the rightsholders doing their own release-- hence the Neo Geo stuff that's already up.

After M2 put all that work into several dozen 3D Classic versions of Sega Genesis games that run better than they ran on original hardware, it'd be kind of a shame to go back to straight-up Genesis emulation.

Maybe this is why we not got a proper VC yet? After stuff like this and the NES Classic games being a lot better then the Wii/WiiU versions, they might be rethinking it.

Cross-posting this from the Amiibo thread because you'd likely never find out until after they're gone otherwise;

Ausgoons, If you want the Qbby amiibo from Bye-Bye Boxboy there is going to be a limited quantity sold through the Official Nintendo AU/NZ eBay Store from tomorrow (March 24th). I have no idea if that's noon or midnight or whatever, just March 24th.

I know it's probably a pipe dream, but a Sega 3D Classics HD Edition for Switch with the 29 Sega 3D Classics titles would be utterly amazing.

(I didn't realize it was that many until I looked it up on Wiki)

Hell, even divide it up into three collections like they did on the 3DS. It'd still be worth it.

On the one hand yes, on the other hand I feel like as soon as those games get "converted" they're promptly never touched again and I don't know if it's because A. they didn't sell well enough the first time around to make it worth going through again, or B. because whatever devs did the conversion now have to be dealt with for the new console and the additional hoops just aren't worth it.

Sonic 3&K got a DS port and disappeared, Sonic CD got an iOS port (blech, touchscreen controls) and I haven't seen it on a handheld at all...I know they got 1 and 2 redone as "3D classics" for the 3DS so I'm kind of crossing my fingers that they're still working their way through the catalogue, but I guess we'll see.

I could imagine something like this coming to Japan at least and we'll all be happy that the Switch is region free.

Has-Been Heroes is releasing on Tuesday everywhere (and on PS4 and XBone). Not 100% sure of the price in EU/UK.

Other than that, people are excited about Neo Turf Masters on Switch, plus Bye Bye BoxBoy! on 3DS. Looks like that's PAL-land only for now. The demo for the trilogy is up also. Word on Mario Sports Superstars is that it's not bad, just kind of low-effort.

Dope. I bought a PSP back in 2006 so I could play Hot Shots during class. Golf games are so great on portable consoles. You can make shot, put it down for a minute or two and answer an email.

I think golf games might be the best genre of video games, right up there with rhythm games and Platinum games.

I wouldn't say it's much like Tiger Woods. Tiger Woods has a much bigger focus on analog control and using different shots with the same clubs. Neo Turf Masters isn't too dissimilar from Hot Shots (timing your hits with little bar meters), but it's very stripped down (in a way that works). But Hot Shots has more of a campaign and more equipment to purchase. Neo Turf Masters is just about playing golf, and it's very arcade oriented. It's a very fast, lean game. It's great to pick up and play, and very fun in 2 player.
