Topic: Nintendo Switch --OT--

@nessisonett One of my go-to retailers has already sold out... Damn, limited means limited.

Just pre-ordered on best buy. Not my preference, but I feel like this is going to very quickly become difficult to find.

I can’t really be arsed finding a physical copy. It’s just ports, I’ll buy it digitally.

@LN78 Same. It's not difficult to see how a limited run 3D Mario collection is going to become a gold mine in the future. And, if Nintendo backs off on the limited run nonsense, I'll still be able to resell it for full price!

Thinking about it, I'll likely skip the Super Mario 3D All-Stars collection. I've got the Wii disk of Super Mario Galaxy (and played through it last year), and Super Mario 64 is somewhere forgotten about on my Wii U virtual console. So effectively, Mario Sunshine will be the only new thing in the collection for me. I'd like to play it, but can't justify £50 on it.

@crimsontadpoles I have all of them playable on Wii U but the better resolution and ease of access is worth it imo. They’re pretty lazy ports but portability is pretty cool.

I have the N64 with Mario 64 hooked up to my TV as we speak. But I do have to move the legacy consoles around if I want to play those. I'd mainly buy it because it's a collector's item, and they're one of my favourite games.

I wonder if we’ll see something similar with the 3D Zelda games. Problem is, Wind Waker and Twilight Princess would be sold full price as Wii U ports and they would have to put a bit of work into the 3DS ports of the N64 games. Perhaps we really could just get the N64 NSO games and they’ll see that as enough.

I just preordered 3D All-Stars from AmazonUK. First game I bought on Switch since Pokemon Sword.
So excited.

"Super Mario 3D All-Stars will be available as a limited-run retail edition and a digital edition that is available for a limited time until the end of March 2021."

every EBay Scalper rn:

@nessisonett I don't think they will do Zelda. Too many games. Leaving out Galaxy 2 I can understand, kinda, because it's a sequel. But how do you pick between OOT, MM, WW, TP and SS? And they're not going to give us more than three games, otherwise they would've included Galaxy 2. And even if they do it, I expect they just do the N64 versions of OOT and MM instead of the 3DS games.

@Octane WW and TP would be Wii U ports because they’re literally the only games left but it would be nice to see OOT and MM getting a boost. I’ve achieved some pretty nice results on my laptop with upscaling.

Pre-ordered 3D All Stars on Amazon earlier.

Haven't really played any of the games before other than Galaxy, so it's going to be new-ish to me (really looking forward to Sunshine, though).

I think Nintendo will squeeze in another game for a November or December slot, but I think the rest of their 2020 is pretty much set with 3D All Stars this month, & Mario Kart Live & Pikmin 3 Deluxe next month.

Man, I really just must not like the SNES. Was trying out All-Stars on NSO, and feeling very... empty. The tinny sound and graphics were doing nothing for me. Switched over to the NES originals of those same games and immediately become invested in them. Something about the way SNES games look and sound just bugs me. Although Yoshi's Island is still cool, at least.

RE: Zelda, I could maybe see a Switch collection of Wind Waker and Twilight Princess. They were already remastered for full price on Wii U, so a Switch port that comes the two games would make a lot of sense.

@Ralizah I still think SMW is the pinnacle of 2D Mario by quite a margin but wasn’t feeling those All-Stars games either. It just felt strange to me, having only ever played the NES originals. The music and graphics just don’t feel quite right.

"Super Mario Galaxy is supported in TV, Tabletop and Handheld Modes. In TV and Tabletop modes, motion controls are required for pointer functionality. In Handheld Mode, pointer functionality has been adapted to use Touch Screen."

Seems reasonable. I thought they'd opt for gyro for collecting Star Bits, but making it touch screen based allows for it to be playable on the Lite as well.

The game is gorgeous in 480p or whatever, though, so 1080p Mario Galaxy might just be stunning.

@Ralizah There we go, finally some
clarity 😂😂

So this means I can play it on the TV with my Power A controller (it has gyro), without having to use the Joy-Con (my sticks are drifting on them)?

@RR529 Looks like it. According to my wee brother my right stick is now drifting which is fabulous. Already replaced the left one.

Finally got a pre order in for sm3das on shopto.net after the announcement blew the website up. I guess it's calmed down since midnight!

I have a pre order at Amazon already but I wanted to get one at the cheaper price. Probably best to hedge my bets and keep both pre orders in case one website has over sold their stock. Worse comes to worse i'll have a sealed copy of a game to sell seeing as I'm running out of money since being taken off furlough.

Mind you I still have a sealed copy of super Luigi u but I only have one copy of it so I can't bare to part with it!

Not sure whether to bother with that game&watch, the console collector in me is telling me to get it, but the person running out of money is telling me not to.

Weird none of these items have a 1 per customer limit on them though :S

That Mario kart home circuit thing looks really cool but way over priced at £100. Even using the switch lite as an example at £200 each, it would cost £600 to play two player on that game if you had no switches to start with. I do reckon that will see a significant price drop, just because it's another company making it. It's not just Nintendo that has to break even so I expect it to be available in large quantities over time but I could be wrong!
