How long ago was that whole Nes Classic/Nes Mini(?) thing? Wasn't there big drama 'cause they sold out immediately?

The NES classic was the number one selling console in June 2018

I just noticed that the NES Joycons are limited to 1 per member, and starting to ship in December. Makes me wonder if this is their way to get around scalpers this time around, trying to do pre-orders to figure out how many to make so they don't under produce like NES Classics

Even though I'm old enough, I don't have a special fondness for the NES. Even though that's where I cut my video game teeth, I don't feel compelled to play any of them outside of maybe SMB 3.

BUT I'm going to pay for online (Monster Hunter, mostly) so I will absolutely try each one out.

I never played any NES games except Super Mario Bros. I guess I have some catching up to do.

Took them long enough to announce an Animal Crossing game.

If it turns out to be another spinoff dogshit then I'm drowning my Switch in the river or whatever that meme is.

They confirmed it’s a mainline entry.

I actually do want to play a bunch of those NES games, but what I'm really happy to see is that they're adding 3 a month. It's gonna have a pretty healthy lineup in a year or so, especially if SNES games start getting mixed in.

gently caress me.
If I get it, that's it for me. I'll be done.
When New Leaf came out, that's all I did for at least a month. C'mon, Nintendo. Don't do this to me.

Okay, I won't get it right away unless it improves on the formula in some big way.
Like if they let you place buildings and features at will. No more guesswork, give me a ghost image and fine control.

If it makes you feel better and less old, most young kids I’m around really like NES and SNES games. I brought my SNES Classic to a family gathering and the kids seemed more interested in it than the PS4 that was also there. I think Minecraft has conditioned them to the pixel aesthetic.

Yeah, I don't think pixel art is ever going away. Aside from looking cute, it makes people think that anybody even ~you~ could make a videogame even though you totally can't

I wanna know this too, when it launched I thought it looked cool but not $60 cool. I've kind of been waiting for a price drop.

Speaking of, I saw Fractured But Whole for $40 the other day, I should be able to get that cheap in a year or so.

There’s a demo on the eShop. It’s fun but it could use more depth. The motion controls make it better so try them.

We Love Katamari is a better game - However, the better mix of katamari on the rock is in the original.

You're not asking the right question. Toadette becomes Peachette with the Super Crown. So what happens if a Toad puts it on? What about Mario or Luigi?

^ Downwell is fun and good, tough as balls though.

World of Final Fantasy and Chocobo's Dungeon are some of the last Final Fantasy games I enjoyed, cool they are coming to the Switch. ( My Life as a King and My Life as a Darklord were also great. ) With DQ XI pulling me back into that main franchise, it would be cool if Final Fantasy could get me back into their main games, but they seem to move further and further away from anything I would be interested in.

This makes sense since the guy who made it was recently hired by Nintendo. This is good but I also hope it doesn't effect his fifth of the content in the upcoming game compilation UFO50.
