It's funny 'cause it's true!

But if it's funny, wouldn't that make it not true?

I'd definitely get Steep if they made it for Switch.

Would you then change your username to Steeposaurus?

Yeah, all the different components of a Switch kit are going to make revisions a bit more tricky. That's why I agree with Adrock in that I think the first alternate model to release is going to be some sort of portable-only Switch with a lower cost. This will probably most appeal to the 3DS crowd looking for a new game system.

Also, I wonder what Nintendo would call a switch-less Switch. I don’t have a pun for this.

Hmm... how about Swontch? As in "won't switch"?

This still sounds a little expensive. What is the individual cost in yen of the dock kit and the grip when they're sold separately?

I'm not surprised to see the Variety Kit selling better than the Robot Kit, it's what I figured would happen. It seems to have a wider appeal due to its, uh, variety.

I'm confused, what are you trying to say? My response was comparing VC prices, not the Classics prices.

Nintendo Gaming / Re: Game Boy Classic Edition, Game Boy Mini?

A Game Boy Classic would certainly be tricky, since making it an actual portable would mean the cost to produce it is significantly higher than the NES and SNES ones. The most expensive component would be if it had a rechargeable battery. I s'pose they could just make it run on AAs, but I'm not so sure people are nostalgic for the battery-munching quality of older handhelds, hee hee.

I also feel like it would be a tougher sell at the $80 price of the SNES Classic, so being able to make it $60 would be ideal. Though I may be underestimating the nostalgia for the Game Boy and people's willingness to pay for these games. With the higher production cost though, it could reduce the number of games in it. I doubt it would have more than 30, but it may be more like 25.

I would expect to see the game list populated with mostly Nintendo titles, maybe all of them if they can't get third-parties on board. If there are a few third-parties titles, my guess is they will be the ones which sold the best on the 3DS VC.

Game Boy Virtual Console games cost less than NES and SNES games.

If you're including GBC though, those games are priced $4.99 or $5.99, the same or a dollar more than NES. And the Pokémon games are priced $9.99 each so I have my doubts they'd be in a Classic edition.

I never expected a Nintendo fansite forum to harbor so many terrible takes on the company's platformers.

That's a part of what makes this place entertaining!

I remember seeing this for the DS and thinking it looked interesting, but I never got around to getting it, so I may grab this version at some point. I don't usually like difficult games so I'm fine with it being on the easier side of these things.

This is an interesting choice, I wonder why they chose this game. I've actually heard good things about it though, so I may check it out since I never got around to it on Wii.

Looks like my last post is still relevant. I'm still feeling burnt out and will probably sit this one out.

But what about our team? I thought for sure I'd get to play with you.

Well, there's always stuff like Minecraft, Splatoon 2, etc...

Take a break and bump The Alliance Alive thread instead!

I was interested in that, but I already have a pile of unplayed RPGs on 3DS as it is... and DS...

Depending on what you are looking for there are much, much better games of that type than Minecraft out there.

Out of curiosity, which ones do you have in mind?
