I never and I do mean never pre order games but I've already flexed the mastercard at Amazon and it's due for delivery on the 18th. Now let's just hope I can play it on my banned switch

Pre-ordered physical from Target so I can scalp it down the road. Probably buying digital too though, as my Switch isn't modded. I'd eventually get baked one night and accidentally go online in emunand, then go online in sysnand. :lol:

$60 for 3 old ass games? And they aren't even remastered in any way except for resolution and inputs (which should be a given). For $50 maybe. Nintendo, people ported Mario 64 to pc for FREE, it can't be that expensive to get it ported. Rant over... I hope people are finally happy with a Direct for once.

Nintendo fans will eat up any trash ninty leaves behind so not surprising everyone didn't mind this dumb release other than potential gamecube and wii emulation on Switch very soon!

OK, I understand everyone is upset about Galaxy to not being there and I am as well. I wonder if these games are through a Wii/GameCube emulator on the switch... because if so... Find a way to reverse engineer this emulator now!!!

I prefer buying physical games over digital ones, but a limited physical release basically means “Only resellers or collectors are going to get their hands on it, and anyone who just wants to play it is forced to pay the scalper price, or go digital”.

I'm happy to see these classics ported across. Managed to preorder physical from the Nintendo website.

I'm more interested to see how they handle the pointer in galaxy, and how well it handles.

Terribly anti-consumer that Nintendo is making even the digital version a limited time release. Just greedy. I understand wanting a limited physical release for collectors, but limiting even the digital copy to a specific date is malicious and plays on FOMO.
Very very disappointed in Nintendo for this.

Now if you buy a Switch or don't have the money until ≥April 2021 you can't buy the game at all. Ridiculous. It's like they're asking for piracy.

If any other company did this, they'd be torn to shreds.

Yeah Nintendo couldn't possibly do anything too pro-consumer. There always has to be a catch for something this otherwise decent with Nintendo. Yeah they might split these up after March 2021, but I also wouldn't be surprised if they yank them entirely like the 3DS GBA VC. After all, Nintendo despises competition with itself over all else.


And they missed the point of that Mario Online game they nuked with Super Mario 35. They tried to make it more interesting with items and PuyoPuyo-like garbage, but you can't see 100s of other players on the screen in your own run. Oh, and of course this game is time-limited too. Wonderful.

Don't give yourself false hopes, Looks like a port with slight alteration, not direct emulation. Even though if it were true that'd be dope
What signs show that it is ported rather than emulation? I don't have a very technical eye so I'm curious. I see things like gamecube shaped button prompts in the sunshine trailer and think "If this were a port, they would swap those out for switch prompts." but I'm just a stupid idiot so if you don't mind, I would appreciate being filled in.

OK, just to clarify - Will the SM 3D World be strictly Multiplayer, or will it be able to have the 1P Included?
It'll definitely have the single-player mode, it's in the original game and they wouldn't take it out and vastly reduce the game's use.


Nintendo, people ported Mario 64 to pc for FREE, it can't be that expensive to get it ported.
People put god knows how many hundreds of person-hours of work into that port, they did it for free because of their passion for the project, but that doesn't mean Nintendo employees should do the same work for free.
