A real hellraiser


It's upsetting that it looks like a developer like Capcom never even considered bringing a budget game collection of NES titles to the Switch.

Just get an emulator for your PC, or wait until the Switch gets homebrew happening :shrug:

Agreedo.
Remakes are cool and good and should be supported, which is why Blaster Master Zero is so loving good. Modern day NES game.

Boring rear end ROMs with tacked on time trial modes for 20 year old games? Not so much.

Theres more to it. If publishers feel that nintendo owners only buy nintendo games on that platform they may still de prioritize the switch

Talked to them at PAX East, it's done but there's some holdup, it'll be out soon. Also the dude played it in a bar tethered to his phone (because it's like the other games, needs Internet to play) and it worked perfectly so that's cool.

FYI the disney thing was what DigitalEclipse proposed to Capcom as a collection before the MM Legacy Collection. Switch might not have even existed when it was being done, as I imagine licensing and getting original artwork from the original games was the major process.

These games would be a licensing nightmare to put on virtual console. And they already allowed Mega Man legacy collection on 3DS

I'm curious. I know the Legacy Collection was considered a cut above other retro re-releases, but what exactly made it better than, say, virtual console versions of these games?

They also went to the trouble to find the CRTs that the original devs were using for development of the MM games and went and made their CRT mode based on them. It probably won't do anything for you if you're opposed to filters on any game like Jeff Gerstmann but it has to be the most accurate CRT filter I've ever seen.

Yeah, just having access to all the high quality art scans made it worth it to me. Plus all the challenges/remixes were fun. Together with a retrogames thread level of detail to the emulation. It made it worth Paying For ROMs, even on PC.

I was not aware! I will have to check it (and the disney collection) out, then. That's pretty awesome.

The problem I had with the megaman legacy collection is that after playing the Zero games so many gotdang times I find the old megamans to be unplayably inferior. RIP

Also why the heck is Lego City Undercover full price when the game is already a Nintendo Select. I kinda want it, still...

2nd week Japanese sales are out.

Switch sold nearly 62k units in the second week in Japan. First week was 330k

It's only a data point this early on, but this is similar to PS4 and Vita in terms of sales. They're definitely not doing 3DS numbers, and even that prompted a price cut.

Is it still supply constrained over there too?

Yeah same. I have every other platform listed but drat this would be great on the switch.
Before with multiplatform games, I'd I'd usually think "well, might as well get it for the PS4" because it probably has better graphics and more people online.

Now I'm thinking "I'd love to take this game on the go!" and want it for the Switch, even if it has shortcomings in places.

Yeah, it's pretty much sold out everywhere. Places are getting in trickles that sell out right away. Nintendo figured by the end of march they could reach 2 million units sold but current numbers, mid-March, puts total sold already at 1.5 million

I see a site claiming it's being rationed as the reason the sales are so low, but the Media Create numbers are just raw sales at retail. It's going to take a few more weeks of sales data to see if that is true.

I think the US is dumb for not using Celsius
If they could make them, they'd have sold 2 million by now probably. Would be interesting to see how many they can make a month. They have to get Switches out to people now as well as build up a big stock for the holidays.

I'm just going to assume if you want a Switch for the holidays, you should buy one early because it'll probably be impossible to find one post September.
