Fingers crossed it's the real deal but yeah, as both Kirkhope and Wise have already mentioned it certainly looks like it - absolutely love it when unreleased games, prototypes etc. are shared online!

@PKDuckman Might have heard of that before, but I've clearly forgotten it - thanks for telling me, I'll definitely check out also the original on NSO at some point then!

Completely missed the original (and also its rereleases on Virtual Console) myself so I'm even happier that a remaster is coming - looking forward to seeing and hearing more about it starting with what will be shown at the Tokyo Game Show!

Didn't know that about The Battle of Olympus, what a lovely story - anyway, great news that they're remaking the game themselves, absolutely looking forward to it (really hope they'll be able to port it to other platforms in general and in particular for me Switch 1 and/or 2 at some point)!

Being from Italy and also younger I unfortunately haven't had the pleasure of hearing him before (thanks for including those clips in the article) - anyway, condolences to his family and friends!

As already mentioned here it looks really good, indeed - happy for those going for it (not me included, but still)!

Fingers crossed the rerelease (hopefully for contemporary platforms in general including Switch 1 and/or 2 in particular) gets confirmed to finally get Terranigma myself - sad to hear that you traded your copy of the original in, but glad you eventually got another one!

Thanks for the interview, it's really nice to hear about this game also directly from Yuge-san in addition to the review on Nintendo Life - absolutely giving it a try myself at some point (casually in my case, but it's great that it can be played both that way and still à la 達人 tatsujin "master/expert")!

Yes, knew about it but I've never accessed it myself as I've played (not finished, looking forward to finally doing so whenever I replay them for my channel) both Oracle of Seasons and Ages on unofficial emulators, VC and NSO - if we ever got a remake of these games it would be cool if they included it!

Looking forward to the full interviews whenever they're ready - thanks for this in the meantime, quite interesting (and yeah, it's pretty funny how Luigi ended up being in this and elsewhere for different reasons around the same time and later in the games etc.)!

And the ( ' )97-10 is a reference to the PAL release date in the Japanese format - such a cool Easter Egg between all these details!

Glad to hear more memories related to Star Fox here on Time Extension, this time Jack's and about 64 in particular - unfortunately as a kid I had the former thanks to my older siblings but somehow barely played it while we completely missed the latter for some reason so it wasn't until later that I got to play it (my first proper Star Fox game ended up being Adventures, then I missed Assault and so on)... and the first time I've fully played 64 is the 3DS version, but despite my troubled history with the series I've overall enjoyed the games I got to play and now I'm fully playing the SNES game on my channel and have started the Switch 2 remake on my own, enjoying the former in its own way and absolutely loved the little I've already played of the latter!

That's exactly why giving new writers etc. a chance is so important (of course within reason, but unfortunately way too many barely do that if at all) - anyway, glad for you Damien and thanks for sharing your experience!

Had serious doubts as soon as I saw the title and even more so after reading the article (really making additional games available only through a subscription?) - that said, I hope it will be enjoyable for those interested in it and be successful enough for it to continue!

Personally, I'd stick to my regular New 3DS XL even if this were already available also for it - that said, glad for those interested in it (and fingers crossed such clear shells will eventually be available for other models, too)!

It's the other way around for me, already knew Hajime no Ippo but not that it got a GBA game by Treasure so thanks for making me discover it - will definitely give it a try myself at some point (on emulator unless it somehow gets an official rerelease on Switch, but I doubt it being a licensed game)!

Interesting the reason Miyamoto-san mentioned why that ended being the case but yeah, even leaving that aside unsurprisingly they went back to the formula of the first game for future ones starting with A Link to the Past - that said, it would be cool if we eventually got a remake of and/or a new game à la Zelda 2 (the former would be particularly welcome because as much as I liked certain aspects of the original it can be brutal)!

@Glassneedles No worries and have a good rest - I'm in no hurry so I might still wait to see if a successor comes in a couple of years (even more so considering what I've heard about the less seamless docking experience before and now also you, would be great if they improved on that) but yep, Steam Deck is absolutely what I'm thinking of when it comes to a second hybrid system to go along with my Switch 2 exactly for all the additional games first and foremost etc.!

@Glassneedles A system à la Switch, Steam Deck etc.

Not interested in these myself (I'll stick to Switch 2 for now and potentially a companion hybrid in the future) but still, pretty cool idea - hope those going for these will enjoy them!

Really cool that this is now a thing, so happy for those interested in it - that said, personally I'll go for emulation, both official when available on Switch and not (speaking of, I should finally get and play at least some of the Arcade Archives ones when I can)!

It's baffling that this has happened in the first place, especially in this specific case since the requirement was just crediting - anyway, glad it has been solved now!

Have never heard of the original so this is an even bigger surprise to me - anyway, pretty cool (kudos to both Zeichi and NiO107), immediately downloading the remake and I'll give it a try at some point!

Intriguing, hope this mystery will be solved in the future - regardless, glad to hear that such a version has been released online (immediately downloading it to give it a try myself at some point)!

It's always cool when such discoveries are made in games and even more so after so many years no matter their practicality (and of course I love it even more so personally since it's about Super Mario Bros. and The Lost Levels) - thanks to all those who found it out!

Too bad it's not a hybrid, would've considered it myself had that been the case - that said, I'd still say it's overall pretty cool (didn't expect the EverSync à la GameShare, nice) and I hope those going for it will enjoy it!

Not as interested in playing this myself (might eventually give it a try although it's not a priority), but I'm always glad when unreleased games get rescued and this is certainly no exception - fingers crossed it gets even a cart release for those interested in it!

Will check out the interviews fully when I have the time, but as usual thanks for them - apart from those, looking forward to seeing what Evercade Nexus ends up being (if it's a hybrid à la Switch I'm potentially interested in it personally), glad to hear about the usual unofficial ports and recreations of older games etc.!

Mario's low-poly model in Mario 64 immediately came to mind (far from the same thing, but that's one of the most famous tricks on the N64) - anyway, have never heard of this before so thanks for making me discover it and absolutely impressive, love to see how far the N64 homebrew scene has got!

Completely missed the GB Operator so nice to now know about it in general first and foremost and even more so now that it's getting such an additional feature - glad for those who already have it or interested in getting it (not sure if I'll ever get one myself, but still)!

That's really cool, wish the best to Naitō-san and co. (RIP Tamaki-san and thanks for everything now including this) in this endeavor - I'll consider supporting the campaign although I doubt I'll play the game myself unless it gets released also digitally if not even brought to modern platforms!

If it were a hybrid à la Switch then I'd be potentially interested in it myself - regardless, looking forward to seeing and hearing what this ends up being whenever they're ready to announce it!

Really cool of Sega to not only be okay with, but also straight sending the technical specs and so on for the Dreamcast emulator on Playstation - in addition to that, always glad to hear about older games coming to consoles and Devastators is certainly no exception, unofficial ports and mods etc.!

Happy 25th anniversary Game Boy Advance - while I unfortunately missed the original model (just like when it comes to Game Boy, my older sister and I got straight up Colors) I eventually received a GBA SP and so got to enjoy its games that way... in addition to emulation and let's be honest, also piracy and thanks to those I got to experience even more games than I would've otherwise as much as luckily my parents got me several, making me an even bigger Nintendo and in general videogame fan and so support as many official releases as possible ever since I could!

And yet again some are so obsessed with genAI that they themselves negatively affect human creators - it's especially ridiculous when that has actually not been used at all like in the case of that Conker artwork...
Leaving that nonsense aside, looking forward to seeing if Sonia Belmont gets confirmed for the new Castlevania or not whenever they're ready to actually reveal it (while it could be a complete mistake I'd say it's likely that they simply jumped the gun as already mentioned here) and as usual glad to hear about cancelled games, unofficial ports etc. coming!

@Agent_P Ha ha, (half) jokes aside I do wish I could go there, too!

Nice, happy for both the National Videogame Museum and those who'll visit it and so see this in person there!

Pretty funny and interesting that they had such a conversation way before Animal Crossing was made - also, thanks for the links to this specific interview and the Gamer Handbook in general, will definitely check them out when I can!

Really hope more games by Rare will come also to Switch 1 and/or 2 - anyway, these are all pretty cool, happy for those going for any of them (not me included, but still)!

Love to see another older game coming to modern platforms including Switch and even more so since this was exclusive to Japan - definitely interested in playing this rerelease myself now that I know it exists and its characteristics based on the article and trailer!

@YANDMAN Realized that soon after, but completely forgot to fix my comment - I'll do so now, thanks for reminding me!

First and foremost sad to hear about Iida-san, condolences to his family and friends.
Moving on to luckily positive news, pretty funny that Bangaiō got two new English translations at almost the same time, the mentioned emulation and modding stuff is cool as usual and thanks for that interview (haven't had the time to check it out yet, but I'll definitely do so when I can)!

Sad to hear about Sawa-san - also personally as the music is one of the few things I've already heard at least in part despite not having played those games yet -, condolences to his family and friends!
Moving on to the luckily good news, always nice when something that was thought to be lost shows up on the internet (even more so when it's the games themselves and/or stuff strictly about them, but such a crossover is still interesting), official merch and even more so for a series that I doubt got any in a while like PaRappa the Rapper, mods of all kinds!

Lol those Anbernic Vita and Vita Pro (although I can see why, their design is definitely not among the reasons why the original handheld didn't have success) - anyway, good to hear in particular about upcoming games in this week's recap, funnily enough both a new game on a classic console and old ones on modern systems!

So glad it's coming to Switch at least in Japan - getting it for sure to finally play these games myself (maybe also on my own while on my channel for sure at some point)!

Glad that Rave Racer is finally coming to consoles, but of course the biggest surprise was Console Archives - it's practically a Virtual Console and most certainly it will bring to Switch 2 games that wouldn't get added to NSO for one reason or another so personally I'm all for it (that said, I wonder if some will change opinion on NSO when they see the prices of these, based on Arcade Archives, the licenses involved etc. I don't expect them to be cheap)!

Those are some great additions (especially the highlighted ones, but also in general) other than the expected fixes - happy for those who already have or interested in getting Analogue 3D!

Always love to see lost (makes sense in this case since it was cancelled, but still) games getting rescued, great that there's now a recompiled version of Banjo-Kazooie and nice mod for Sonic R - will check out the Honeywood interview when I have the time for it!

Definitely not as a replacement of the original but not gonna lie, would've been cool to also have an official anime-style Lara Croft - anyway, good to hear about the new Sonic framework for fangame creators and players, potentially me included among the latter at some point (while I had already seen the Chaotix and 2DS articles since they were also on Nintendo Life)!

@smoreon Personally, I won't take part in this and most likely other Community Challenges also because I definitely don't have the time for them between all the games I'm already playing (as mentioned I'll eventually play and this time finish TMNT, but only when I can and at my own pace including using those tools without restrictions) - that said, good point about using save states to practice like you did and also thanks for the tip in your other comment!
