These are nice options in the face of failing hardware that while no longer a business interest (or possibility) for Nintendo in this case, is still a pleasure to many folks.

I definitely remember having a spot of angst in the PS2 era about older 2D games and having a feeling that they could become lost in the pursuit of powerful 3D machines. Back then (and even just a few years ago) it was difficult to see how ‘period gaming’ I’ll call it, could have perpetuity.

CRT technology will be a harder one to preserve for those of us that still associate gaming with a phosphorus glow..

I would like to use the Switch Lite as a controller for Switch. I’d bet Nintendo thought about it but declined to make it a thing

I guess it’s a currency-ification of physical video games and the gold rush is on. And then paralleling it is the industry’s own practice of turning everything within a modern video game into currency, and that gold rush is on. There’s a dollar pursuit on all sides

PS1 racers are my jam so this could be special fr sure

Takara Tomy did manufacture for gachapon Saturn watches..

I like the style of the P-47 games but dang are they tough as all

I’ve got NES cartridges and they’re useless to me. If they were sealed they’d still be useless, but some dude would unload a wheelbarrow of cash for them.. what a world

I’ve an iPhone and iPad but I Im not desperate to put the Genesis or NES library on them. That said, I’ll certainly try out anything that comes along out of curiosity

@Krambo42 I meant to say yacht club games, lol

I bought this game as a kid because the box art looked cool. I was then amazed by that intro. It was unlike anything I’d ever seen on my Genesis or even TV screen before! One of the most nostalgic works of art for me, indeed..

They could sell a 3DS cia

WayForward’s stab at GB LoZ is the one I’m waiting for

Doesn’t hurt my feelings This series and all Vic Tokai games need some modern TLC

Just awesome. Love it.

@Gitface that’s awesome

I’d have accepted Galaga but I agree with OOT as the top of the heap

Gives me more SCAT vibes which is hopefully in the cards after Shadow of the Ninja because I really like that one

I’ll get it onto my everdrive and anbernic as soon as possible

I’d get the one with the sticks

like a postmodernist art exhibit

@Poodlestargenerica well, as you said, Sakurai made an awesome game so there’s something Nintendo can work with. The idea is that Nintendo will pick up a niche audience title every now and then to flavor the catalog. Kid Icarus uprising sold much better than Bayonetta 1, for which Nintendo then funded two sequels. So a Kid Icarus Uprising followup is not out to lunch.

I think it’s possible Nintendo could put star fox and f-zero back on the front burners in the next cycle. Maybe even Kid Icarus as well. Every odd generation they pepper in some lesser hits for variety. I think variety is still a strategy for Nintendo even in this era reliant on the sure bets

I’m sure SM could cook up a halo-style game. I don’t think he was saying he’d have made a more successful Halo than bungee, so maybe not as big-talking as it first sounds.

Looks like a classic in the making

Interesting, but also looks a bit like conjoined turds..

Cute game. Reminds me of Pus Alpha. They should finish it. There’s not an over abundance of competent cute em ‘ups out there

Looks like a neat little game. Will consider picking it up and supporting the good folks of Hamster

Will try this out. Something really satisfying about clambering around isometric graphics

@RossoftheRobots beauty! I love it. I always play as baby

When those stores had signage that encouraged the taking of video, it was clear they understood what was driving the demand

A captain commando set would be awesomeness

Nintendo had their scrapes that’s for sure. Were it not for their strong vision of personal gaming from the get go, they’d probably not have held onto the market

So cool. May it come to a Nintendo console..

A thousand thanks for bringing this to light. I love NES shmups and I would have missed this gem

Surely at this point they don’t regard the character as being anything more than meme marketing: the game..

I first learned of this game upon its WiiU VC release. After playing it there I was hopeful it would it land on the 3DS VC but it sadly never did. I hope some version of the game comes to Switch outside Japan but I’m not so sure..

Outstanding way to preserve VB through Nintendo’s better 3D portable

Does the N64 have highly accurate emulators these days? Particularly that work on mobile devices?

Let your inner child be your interior designer..

Will continue to check in see what’s new for hacks and patches

I was in 9th grade and super excited for the system’s next FF. I had mixed feelings but i accepted it at the time. Don’t think I made it far into it and never went back since

@snk2d4life no kidding. What a horrid little detail to etch onto the thing

I grew up with handhelds since the release of the Game Boy, unlike most of my friends who just played on consoles. So they’ve always had this very personal feeling to me. But the one that resonated with me the most was the 3DS. That’s the one I want to be buried with, lol

Crazy.. I can’t really recall any obsessive playing of FFVII myself, but it was a thrilling game to get into at the time. Really all PS1 RPGs were amazing to load up. One epic after another.

After acquisitions MS is set to move to major pub and shed its dead weight console platform

My brain is wondering how related groundhog and hedgehog are. I can’t tell if this adds up? No? Yes? lol

I was interested in Analogue’s Mega SG but really it lacked a certain Sega pizazz (or gaga, if you will). Also my Model 1 Genny is still ticking. But a Sega Neptune console preserving period hardware, now that’d be something really cool

Reminds me of USAAF Mustang but with heli

The Sega Genesis is my pick for one of the top consoles of all time (along with the NES and PS1 as the top 3, no order)

Ok so this isn’t the same as that quad game pack that was announced a bit ago. That’s what I would’ve been interested in as a download
