Kirby certainly was a nice surprise.

The control complaints are a good possibility, but in my recent playthrough it played just fine. I would actually argue that Donkey Kong 64 aged worse than Conker.

I don't know, but a Nintendo 64 with 2 controllers and all those games for no money sounds like a scam or an exhausting amount of free hugs.

This feels like someone was up late playing Kashyyyk in Jedi: Fallen Order and randomly went back to playing Slender Man with Thomas the Train mods on and thought it needed more spiders.

As entertaining as it was for me to know a new tier for the Nintendo 64 was called an Expansion Pack and that a 64 controller was basically adjusted for inflation ($29 back in the 90s) in 2021, I think the N64 library is too lacking for me to give in, despite not announcing a price and my own 64 being in good shape.

For some people, possibly, but there's quite a few more who can't even book a trip to start one.

Understandable, but the article is stating price as the main concern. Proper support is just a piece of the argument as to why the high prices come off greedy.

I'm simply stating that if you want the game, then backwards compatibility is a nice option when things like this happen in the digital market place.
So, you can get the game cheaper if you buy a physical copy to avoid Activision's convenience store, which would require backwards compatibility on the...

It's things like this that prove backwards compatibility is a nice feature to have as an option, because - let's face it - you're paying for convenience and the IP by this point.

They do, but due to poor communication on Volition's part it has been a muddy lake of info.

Here’s what the game’s official press release says:
“Create the Boss of your dreams, with the most extensive character customization suite ever seen in the series, then complete the look with incredible options for weapons and vehicles.”

I'm still iffy. Though I definitely like it more after seeing this footage than that premiere trailer, but man does Volition have some bad marketing communication.

Absolutely. Saints 4, which I still can't bring myself to call it a true sequel considering most of it was meant to be DLC in the beginning, was very much out of hand and uneven. Like you, though, if this reboot blends 2 and 3, I'll be a buyer. There's a lot of positives in both those titles.

Now with the Saints Reboot developer citing the over-the-top and arcade-y feel is still present, and that John Wick, Baby Driver, and Hobbs & Shaw are its creative insp...

On the plus side, no one needed a testicle retrieval after the trailer reveal.

This looks tame, but I sure hope to be proven wrong.

All franchises have favorites, which is why it's a franchise, and remakes/remasters now come with the territory. Patience.

I would imagine because he's busy with the next WarioWare and any game that's longer than 5 seconds goes against his principles.

So it's not just a clever name, but an immersive experience.

Good thing the Switch is region free.

@JustTheFax
It is rather incredible what that penny did! I always figured you were paying for what that particular year smelled like, so gc-ms is very plausible.

Actually, it depends on the cart variant. Nintendo World Championship carts are rare (26 in total, I believe), but the earliest print of Mario Bros, being sealed that is, is theorized to be in the single digits.
This sold one, from the pictures I've seen isn't the early variant. The price ...

Really? Unopened it's roughly in the 100 - 600 dollar range, which already isn't too shabby at all.

People see older games as an investment nowadays, mainly. This particular one being an unopened title of what would be widely regarded as one of the Top Ten Greatest of the industry certainly helped them open their wallet. Of course only time will tell if any of these new investments pay off.
