Sega was never, ever what Nintendo is and that path led to the original company not even existing anymore.

I still remember my bitter disappointment plugging this in and starting up Sonic 1.

Wii U has some good games, but the 3DS has an all-time, all-star line-up. Not even a close comparison.

Ya its definitely been one of my favorite games in the past few years but nothing has me more excited than Zodiac Age.

What’s so funny about a console pre-loaded with 30 games for the price of a single PS4 game or 4 tickets for a 2 hour movie?

That is true, you can, but it’s certainly not a plug-and-play solution. I think this is geared towards an audience who does not have the capability, the time, or the inclination to correctly set up a RPi, get the ROMs, etc.

Totally worth it just for Startropics.

top of the list of things i didn’t expect from Nintendo.

When Nintendo announces a new IP that is not a small eshop title. It kind of feels like “what? Really?”

Makes sense. Both games involved American boys that use baseball bats, yo-yos, and psychic powers to fight aliens.

maybe this is a test run, a la Mother, to guage interest? Or, God hoping, a nostalgia push to get more interest for that alleged Retro game in the series?

Can I have your press center password so I can view the link? :P

Native American here. These names are ok.

Millennials.

I still think it’s the greatest most perfect Super Mario Bros game ever made.

Said for a long time they needed to focus on heavy a steady stream of 1st party support. Not sure that going with small dev teams working on a bunch of small games (theoretically) achieves that but who knows, maybe they’ll aim bigger.

Dylan Cuthbert said there was indeed a more complete version (evidently they got as far as actually FINISHING the game and putting it through QA before it got the axe).

If what Cuthbert says is indeed true, then Nintendo should release it for Virtual Console. They did it for Mother 1 and 2, and pretty likely will do it for Mother 3 (which was never officially released in english), and they also released Sin and Punishment on the Wii’s Virtual Console, despite the fact that that game…

It’s worth noting that prototype copies of Star Fox 2 did eventually get leaked, and fans patched it up to remove debug code, fix bugs, and translate it. It’s a playable game, and you can get a reproduction SNES cartridge to play the game on real hardware.
