What a cool idea and yes, it would be lovely if you could purchase them online, too!

Haven't checked on this, will do so when I can (and I should finally mod my Wii U while I'm at it) - thanks for the warning!

As soon as I saw this here (have never even just heard of it before) I immediately got reminded of the e-Reader - anyway, pretty cool in concept even though unfortunately too limited in its first iteration to be successful outside of Japan!

Pretty cool, hope those going for it will enjoy it - fingers crossed even more Nintendo soundtracks eventually get released also on vinyl for those interested (personally, I'll just stick to way less expensive alternatives even though we still have a record player at home)!

If they ever implemented a Patreon I would definitely consider supporting them through that as it would be way more convenient for me (and I bet many others) compared to the current subscriptions although it's nice that they've already implemented small one-off donations at least - regardless, glad to hear that they're safe for now!

Great interview, I absolutely agree with the conclusion that it's creators who should make games first and foremost, not sales teams coming up with concepts that could sell and to an extent also that those who want to make games should play also really old ones - while luckily there's an incredible variety in games nowadays (it's one of the reasons why I love gaming so much) and not all are as focused on that aspect, risk and reward is still a fundamental game concept as also Sakurai-san mentioned on his channel and if I recall correctly Space Invaders is one of the games that he used to explain it exactly because such games really embody it!

So glad that there's Game Boy Studio to make Game Boy games nowadays - anyway, didn't know about this store, pretty cool for those living/visiting there and even more so that it got its own videogame (it would be great if that were made available also digitally)!

Great interview, quite appreciated getting to know more about Samba de Amigo thanks to this - it's a series that I've unfortunately never got to play until Party Central (I already knew about it before that between some crossovers in other Sega games, the internet etc.), but when I did play that game I ended up enjoying it a lot and I really hope we'll see Amigo and co. again in the future!

Aah, that's why the name rang a bell even though I wasn't sure why before, thanks for writing an article about it!

Yet another April Fools' joke that I wish were actually true - that said, kudos to Santos for making these mock-ups!

Don't have an iPhone so it doesn't matter to me personally but still, pretty cool!

Love to hear it for those with their SNES still around (personally I'll stick to other solutions to play its games nowadays, but still)!

Love to see it, fingers crossed the Week 2 data will eventually be found, too!

I've somehow never even heard of the original before, looking forward to playing this game thanks to the enhanced rerelease on "modern consoles" (so most likely also Switch and/or its successor) and even more so after reading this interview - can't wait for Shantae Advance, too!

Pretty cool that this has finally been confirmed and even more so since it simply happened (more often than not people look for stuff like this in the code, by using tools etc. - in fact, surprised nobody has ever done that before)!

Thanks for the review, even more so after reading this I'm definitely getting Stories from Sol (hopefully the physical release which apparently is going to be available also in Europe according to the Nintendo Life article) - fingers crossed they eventually add some of the potential features mentioned so that it becomes even better than it already is!

Sad to hear it, rest in peace Nichols and condolences to his family and friends!

While of course it would be great if it were even better, this is definitely an exaggeration (and so won't particularly bother most NSO user, even including those who still play also on CRTs as shown by this very comment section) and I can't help but wonder if people making such statements have ever experienced actually horrid latency and/or other technical aspects - what's baffling is that you don't even have to look at games on past systems to put it in perspective as unfortunately there are games that genuinely have those issues on Switch itself!

Love whenever such discoveries are made about games and even more so since this one is pretty useful!

Despite his name it would make more sense for Louie to replace Mr. Luggs than Luigi given his food obsession as also mentioned by the article.
Anyway, pretty cool, interested in giving this mod a try myself at some point!

Pretty cool, downloading it immediately and giving it a try when I can!

Haven't heard of this project before, now that I know it exists I'm definitely looking forward to it!

@Azuris I think at least a couple of years ago there were still some in shops here in Italy and of course I see retrogame retailers at conventions having them even nowadays (don't know for how much exactly, probably relatively high prices) but yeah, I'm not surprised that people are holding to their DS/3DS!

I'd also rather play directly on my (3)DS but still, pretty cool if it ends up being confirmed as I'm sure some would enjoy such a handheld!

These mods keep on being impressive and hilarious, kudos to notCHase!

The Faces of Evil and Wand of Gamelon unofficial remasters were great (haven't played them myself, but have watched other playing them) so as long as this is anything like those - certainly looks like the case - then I'm absolutely looking forward to it!

Absolutely not and even more so considering Nintendo isn't making all their past games easily available (and even if they did there would be all the third-party ones which most likely won't ever get rereleased, but that's partially besides the point) - there will be those who will emulate them regardless for better performance, hacks/mods and yes, straight up piracy (and honestly I couldn't care less if they do although I encourage those not doing it straight up to play them pirated for free to also support the official releases), but if they were officially available again most would get them that way, especially considering it would be more pick-up-and-play than any emulator/emulation handheld will ever be!

Pretty cool, hope those who still have their Super Game Boy around (unfortunately never had one), willing and capable of doing this will enjoy it although I do agree with others here that it's quite niche!

Kudos to ScarlettVixen for such an endeavor, will eventually give this hack a try for sure!

Again, while there are some examples of AI used to allow certain games to even exist in the first place and also how to properly use it (https://www.polygon.com/23842925/broken-sword-6-bs1-remaster-charles-cecil) that definitely won't be the case in the hands of (big) companies guided exclusively by greediness like EA and will keep me away from them even more so than before except for the occasional games published by them and made by developers who don't care only about more money in the short term (Unravel and It Takes Two for example)!

So cool, but not having an option to purchase exclusively the digital version means that I'm out - don't get why they keep on doing this and lose on the potential sales of those who can't/don't want to get it physically (and so spend more, potentially quite so, because of shipping etc.)!

Love to see Argonaut back first and foremost, but even more so since I've never played Croc so I'm glad I'll finally have the chance to do so thanks to this remaster!

Love to see it, will eventually play it for sure!

Have never heard of this before, looks great so I really hope Starshi will be able to finish it and I'm looking forward to eventually playing it myself!

Always loved Wuhu Island so I couldn't welcome this anymore, fingers crossed it won't be taken down (although luckily it's already out so I can grab it at least in the current state even if that unfortunately happens at some point)!

Love to see it, makes a great game which already looked pretty good (unlike Mario vs. Donkey Kong on GBA which is why personally I'm glad they made a remake of that instead) even better - maybe this will be my chance to replay '94 and finally finish it myself!

@amongtheworms Glad you enjoy our comments!
By the way, kudos @Zuljaras for making such a cool box for the Castlevania GBA trilogy (and all your other creations), hadn't seen it yet!

Lucky you and thanks for making an article about it, will definitely visit these stores (and also other videogame ones like the Pokémon Centers and Capcom Stores mentioned) when I finally visit Japan myself!

Modern Chef has always been one of my favorite Game & Watch Gallery games so of course I love this, kudos to the creator (downloading it right now and will play it when I have the time)!
By the way, hope we'll see the remaining Game & Watch Gallery games come to NSO sooner rather than later - so far we got only 3, but they should eventually come considering they were all rereleased on Virtual Console if I recall correctly.

Kudos to Marbler for finally doing it!

I doubt we'll ever see something like this from Nintendo as I feel it would be difficult to sell it to the general public - let's not forget that regular Mario Maker already sells way less than the 2D Mario games straight up made by Nintendo -, but happy to see fans doing it at least, will definitely give it a try when I can and fingers crossed it never gets taken down (it shouldn't since you have to provide the rom yourself, but still)!

Love to see it, fingers crossed Nintendo won't take it down - they shouldn't be able to as long as the developer has been smart about certain aspects and we know for sure they have to an extent (people have to provide the roms and so the assets themselves unlike Link's Awakening on PC for example), but still!

One more reason for me to be looking forward to playing my physical copy of Showtime as soon as it arrives and man how I'd love to finally have a chance to play Goemon myself, fingers crossed it will come to NSO at least!

It always felt like the 3DS would've been perfect to play Virtual Boy games (even though I won't be able to use the 3D myself since my eyes can't properly see it) so it's great to hear that it has finally happened, will definitely download and install Red Viper when I have the time!

@bring_on_branstons As far as I know the eReader levels were included when they rereleased Advance 4 on Wii U but yeah, couldn't agree more, that's another great example of what I'd like to see Nintendo do more: include content that was originally difficult to access due to requiring additional hardware etc. - other than of course seeing more systems, not only Nintendo ones, come to NSO!

@bring_on_branstons Absolutely and another thing I'd love to see on NSO which would help making it stand out compared to Nintendo's past, in more than one sense, offerings would be Transfer Pak compatibility between N64 and GBC games - not to mention that it would be even easier than Satellaview and 64DD considering the games themselves are already on the service in that case!

Love to see it, but how I wish Nintendo officially rereleased some if not all of the Satalleview games!

Couldn't agree more with most comments here, this is absolutely ridiculous and really hope someone will put an end to this madness by dumping one of these copies and sharing the game on the internet for free as it should've been from the start... either that or, if it had to be sold commercially, the developer should've got the consent from the copyright holders or just refrained from using such material in the first place!

What a weird but also cool concept, definitely getting this digitally!

@Yoshif3 Really hope Nintendo will eventually rerelease the Satellaview games, especially the Zelda ones (have played BS Zelda and loved it while I haven't played Ancient Stone Tablets yet)!
