Playing through Galaxy for the first time since like 2008 put a smile on my face that's only ever been matched by BotW, and having Sunshine in 16:9 was a wonderful bonus

Bummer that SM64 didn't age as well but two solid games for $60 ain't bad even if I've played both of them before

cool, i bought it when it came out for 59.99 on the eshop and enjoyed playing old mario games, op

Cool, It's really not the price as much as the limited release (for no reason whatsoever) model, which is pretty much the most anti consumer poo poo in games, but I guess if there is anyone on earth that would be totally ok with that it's nintendo fans.

No you're right. It's very dumb and just very money-hungry. The News Feed keeps reminding me to buy it. I bought it physical a month back or so, and will play it as soon as I beat Pikmin 3, but I fully intend on trading it back in.

3D Mario is good, but it's not 2D Mario, that stuff doesn't hold up quite as well.

You'd like to think you could get some respect as a consumer but that's some wishful thinking.

Boy I hope you're right, but it's just as likely not going to be the case, that sort of set-up feels like a whole lot of wishful thinking.

Is No More Heroes 2 better than 1? I’ve always wanted to play a Suda 51 game and this series seems like a good place to jump in, seeing as we have no Killer7.

Yes and no. NMH2 plays better and the minigames/jobs aren't anywhere near as frustrating but it feels like it's missing something compared to NMH1.

The job balance is better but the original tactics story is very good and much better than Advance or A2
FFT's story is really interesting for a video game, because it has unreliable narrators, and you can see that the history books have been morphed or manipulated over time to make certain characters heroes and others villains. And on top of this, its portrayal of the intersection of religion and politics is more realistic than a lot of other types of media, at least as far as character motivations and actions go.

But getting the whole story in-game requires quite a lot of reading, and there are a lot of characters that are each referred to with several different names, which complicates things a lot. It's sort of similar to Dark Souls, where important lore is buried in item descriptions.

At least, that's how I remember it. It's been 15 years since my last playthrough. I tried on my phone, but didn't go past the first battle. Touch screen was just too annoying. I'd really like a Switch release, especially with a 3x speed option to get through battles in a reasonable time.

This is a good assessment. I think a person would get more out of nmh 2 having played nmh 1 first, but notice that missing element in exchange.

The mario Allstars release model sucks poo poo and I am really annoyed with myself that I just panic grabbed it off amazon because I don't want to pay out the nose down the road when I am actually in the mood to buy it. I kind of feel like I just paid 65 goddamn dollars for galaxy in 2021 because tbh I love that game but the others are too dated for me to care much about anymore.

Also I must have not been the only one with this idea because on Amazon it was "only ten left 59.99" and when I clicked on it 2 seconds later I had grabbed the last copy and the price went up $3. Nintendo can really suck a dick for this one.

E: never mind I cancelled it there are much better ways to spend $65 on games that doesn't involve fake scarcity bullshit

Unfortunately I feel like you're right, they always botch what should be a pretty obvious and straightforward classics release. It's pretty hosed up that the Wii has had the comprehensive release of classic nintendo games and that was 15 years ago.

WiiU had a bunch of good stuff too but by that point third parties caught on that they could resell their own games in collections, I miss the simplicity of the Wii VC with everything in one nice place.

Further to my situation of having borrowed my sister in law's WiiU, is there a (legal and non-modded) way for me to get any and all of my Wii VC purchases downloaded onto the WiiU? Without repurchasing everything, of course.

I'm assuming no.

Edit: actually, I just looked it up, but I don't think this will work, given that a) my Wii is modded (but prior to that, I had a poo poo load of stuff bought from the Wii shop) and b) isn't the Wii shop down, or is that only for new purchases?

Preservation is actually kind of a big deal and I wish companies didn’t expect to ring cash out of dated stuff for purely greedy reasons

Nintendo is the worst for it. Doubly because they go after ROM sites. They don’t even have the excuse of protecting a current and active ecosystem anymore so it’s extra lovely.

Getting my Switch today hell yeah. Can’t wait! I’ve been staring at the controller and AC for three days.

Which first-party stuff, preferably Mario, has acceptable online multiplayer? I know Nintendo sucks poo poo at online, but it’s my only option right now.

There is a system transfer app but I have no idea if it works anymore because those Wii servers are no longer up and I think it just transferred the licenses then downloaded everything

I think it transfers the games themselves, actually. But yeah, look into the transfer app, I think it should still work (assuming the wii mods don’t break it) but either way that’s the answer to if and how you legally transfer stuff to the wii u.

There were rumors a while back that they were going to do this in a reasonable way too, where people who already purchased the 3D All-Stars collection would be able to redeem the individual titles here.

The problem is we're at D-Day and there's been no official announcements--and frankly, not even further rumor, as to what's going to be done here. Assuming Nintendo does have a plan in the works it's pretty lovely that they've made no announcements and the News channel is engaging in FOMO.

Look, honestly, I enjoyed the 3D All-Stars collection and think it's a worthy purchase, but if you haven't purchased it already you probably don't care enough about to make a FOMO purchase now. For one, physical copies aren't going to vaporize--it sold millions so you should have no problems finding a used copy in the future. Beyond that, if you suddenly decide in the future you really want to play the 3D Marios there's the reverse-engineered source port of Mario 64 and Galaxy (and Sunshine, I guess) runs fine in Dolphin, which makes them no less accessible than a bunch of other Nintendo titles currently stuck on the Wii (see Metroid Prime Trilogy).

The Fire Emblem thing is even weirder and more of a waste of time since the Japanese version is and will still be available through NSO.

One day more
Another day, another destiny
This never-ending road to Calvary
These men who seem to know my crime
Will surely come a second time
One day more

I did not live until today
How can I live when we are parted?

One day more

Tomorrow you'll be worlds away
And yet with you my world has started

One more day all on my own

Will we ever meet again?

One more day with him not caring
I was born to be with you

What a life I might have known

And I swear I will be true

But he never saw me there

One more day before the storm
Do I follow where she goes?
At the barricades of freedom
Shall I join my brothers there?
When our ranks begin to form
Do I stay or do I dare?
Will you take your place with me?

The time is now
The day is here

One day more

One day more to revolution
We will nip it in the bud
We'll be ready for these schoolboys
They will wet themselves with blood

One day more

Watch 'em run amuck
Catch 'em as they fall
Never know your luck
When there's a free for all
Here a little dip
There a little touch
Most of them are goners
So they won't miss much

One day to a new beginning
Raise the flag of freedom high
Every man will be a king
Every man will be a king
There's a new world for the winning
There's a new world to be won
Do you hear the people sing?

My place is here
I fight with you

One day more

We will join these people's heroes
We will follow where they go
We will learn their little secrets
We will know the things they know

One day more

Watch 'em run amuck
Catch 'em as they fall
Never know you luck
When there's a free for all

We'll be ready for the schoolboys
Tomorrow we'll be far away
Tomorrow is the judgement day

Tomorrow we'll discover
What our God in Heaven has in store
One more dawn
One more day
One day more

Pretty sure the Wii transfer tool was tied to the Wii servers and is obsolete. If you mod the Wii U you should be able to copy over your game files after you mod the Wii VC. Or just hunt down rom sites because gently caress Nintendo.

Not helpful and not what I asked.

The system transfer will basically put all your wii content on the wii u's wii channel, assuming it still works. It even transfers your save files over.

If you own the games on wii VC, you get an option to purchase the corresponding wii u VC title at a steep discount. Like $1 to repurchase a NES title or $1.50 for a SNES title. That way you don't have to fire up wii mode, can use the gamepad instead of a wiimote controller, and you get save states and rebindable keys. So actually you can have your games again and its your choice to repurchase or no.

But no idea if the transfer system still works or if the mod would interfere.

There's actually been some pretty decent circumstantial evidence pointing otherwise with the Nintendo Switch Online app merely existing (it's scalable like they want/can add more to it beyond NES and SNES games), as well as the original Fire Emblem release with the injected English script.
