With such +AAA games like Monopoly and Minecraft that we're going to have on the Switch, there's really no reason to ever want a Metroid, F-Zero, Luigi's Mansion, EarthBound, Star Fox, Donkey Kong or Wario.

Monopoly and Minecraft are all that we need.

Thank you so much, Nintendo!! ^_^

Nothing says excitement like porting over a four year old game that's already on the Wii U, amirite? :P

I was implying that some people might get the idea to import it. But yes, the decision to remove region lock was a good idea on Nintendo's behalf.
