Is there any indication of price? I'm not a rhythm game person but this intrigues me less than $20.

Just one more thing!
The Gunvolt DLC for Blaster Master Zero is good. It's free for two weeks so be sure to get it if you own the game.

It's $20 across itch.io, Steam, the Oculus store, and Playstation. There's no indication that the price will change for Switch.

That Blaster Master Zero demo is live on the JP eShop and is fully translated. I think a US demo is supposed to go up today, too. Pretty cool game, better than I expected.

Blaster Master Zero is one of the best NES remakes. It basically fixed everything annoying about the original.

It feels like they played Shovel Knight and went, "you know what, let's also strip all the annoying poo poo out of a classic NES game" and it worked quite well.

It's a VCR, it displays images from huge cartridges at 29.97fps in low resolution, but that's not important right now.

Games are infinity better now then during the NES era it's just that most 40 year olds have brain damage for their precious childhood. Also I haven't undocked my switch in a month fight me.

They just took the I/O box out of the back of the dock, made a new casing for it, and added a cable to replace the internal USB-C connection.

But it doesn't really seem like the final result actually ends up being much more compact/convenient than the dock.

The simplicity of those old games can be refreshing sometimes. A ton of them are still worth playing imo and I like games from all eras.

You could just hide the dock and run a usb c extension into your switch?

You still gotta put the switch on it though, which is the same size, and the USB cords stick out. Though I guess it's better if you wanna travel with it

In Pan and Scan as God intended. And for playing videogames with garbage on the screen that you cant take off with out the missing remote.

And now I want to record Switch gameplay on VHS or Beta.

My only nostalgia for Kid Icarus used to be grounded in frustration, but the 3DS port fixed the controls to be more versatile/forgiving and I beat the whole game in an afternoon.
I'm 100% for remakes that adjust the obligatory One lovely Part That No One Likes. Wind Waker Wii U reduced the Triforce hunting, Ocarina/Majora's 3DS have much quicker item swapping...

Let Nintendo improve the Zeldas, I guess is where this is going.
