Nintendo has been doing a lot of things people have wanted lately:

- Pokemon RBY, and now Gold/Silver are added to the Virtual Console when people thought the old Pokemon games would never be uploaded to them

- Metroid II is finally getting a remake

- Metroid Prime 4 was announced, Metroid Prime 3 came out in 2007...literally 10 years ago

- Mario Kart 8 now finally has proper battle mode maps on the Switch, the Wii-U version did not

- Star Fox 2 finally released!

- Old franchises like Kid Icarus, Punchout, Starfox, Wario Land, etc. all got revivals in the Wii or Wii-U era.

- Mother 3 will likely come out eventually, no way did Nintendo not localize it after all the demand


Plus their current games have been cream of the crop. Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Donkey Kong, Pokemon, etc. have all gotten top tier new entries/sequels lately.

that's what I don't get.

something like this should be easily producible for YEARS.
Why is a giant company like nintendo having shortage problems?

something isn't adding up here.

I guess he doesn't qualify as African American to cubed because he doesn't say things like "yessa massa", "sup dawg", "yo", "kill whitey" and "shee-it negro!"

It was announced a few days ago that they're coming out on the 3ds vc sometime in September.

is it too much to ask for nick to get the legal rights to the turtle video games so they can finally be re released?

some of the most popular gams on the system, not available.

I'm going on a whim here, as I'm in no way an expert on this. However, if you seriously think Nintendo is willing to do business with Konami, the current gaming punchline, then that's not happening. I don't trust them, despite them at one point being one of my favorite companies. Same goes with Nickelodeon; Konami odds are would want big money.

As with the NES Classic, the game selection is really underwhelming, they're games some people have a way to access, either by Virtual Console or previous collections. The only big takeaway is Star Fox 2 finally being released.

Well, Contra III is on there already.

Although I can understand a licensed game published by a 3rd party company is probably one of the most difficult arrangements to work out for a "budget" novelty item. I'm still surprised Capcom was able to re-release their 8-bit Disney Afternoon collection.

Where the heck is Turtles In Time? Its not just thr most praised Ninja Turtles game, but an often cited favorite among gamers. Is it a copyright problem? I would have bought it for that and Super Mario World alone,but now no sell.
