My favorite games on N64 were Pilot Wings and Waverace. I now have a Switch and would love to have those games in a physical format. Will Nintendo ever remaster them for Switch?

I don't want to pay for the online versions since I'm not into online gaming and just don't want the expense.

#####Releases

• Pinball was released in 1984 for the Family Computer in Japan. In this pinball game, developed by Nintendo, high scores are the thing when it comes to classic flipper fun. Hit various targets and rack up points in this classic pinball game. Featuring a bonus mode starring Nintendo's legendary character, Mario, you control our hero as he holds a platform used to keep the ball in the air. And don't forget - you also have to save Pauline.

In this American football game, developed by Nintendo, based on the Eyeshield 21 manga, you play as Sena, who is secretly the legendary running-back, Eyeshield 21. Unlike standard football games, the game is broken into scenes. During these scenes you have to plan your play, and execute it by touching areas of the screen. Getting the ball to the opponent's touchline, or kicking it over their goal, is the way to score.

• The first wave of BOXBOY! amiibo was released in 2017 in Japan and includes Qbby.

With the Switch 2 coming soon, I actually don't know why Nintendo never followed on a sequel console to the N64 or the Gamecube? Maybe both consoles didn't reach expected sales or Nintendo just moved on to the next console, but I actually don't know why. If anyone has some insight to this I'd really like to know.

By this point we have had modern 2D takes on pretty much all of Nintendo's signature IPs.

When put this way:

• Super Mario World vs Super Mario Bros. Wonder
• The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past vs The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds
• Donkey Kong Country 2 vs Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
• Super Metroid vs Metroid Dread
• Yoshi's Island vs Yoshi's Woolly World
• Kirby Super Star vs Kirby Planet Robobot

Would you consider all or some of the modern 2D entries to be superior to what came before, or are they still are lagging behind the quality of the games they were inspired from?

Ok let me explain, it might just be my generation or age group (early 90s kid) but I'm accustomed to just say NES, SNES, N64, Wii, Switch etc. I've never had the need or heard anyone say "Nintendo GameCube" or "Nintendo Switch" for example and it weirds me out for some reason. Even for other systems that aren't Nintendo related. However in the last 10 years or maybe around the time of the Switch's release I've noticed that people started to add Nintendo to everything in the gaming sphere including YouTubers.

Now I'm very curious, how many of you are like me and how many of you actually say the brand name before every system name during casual everyday conversation. It sounds like a dumb question but this is something that I find fascinating.

Hey! Was looking to get a headset to play Rocket League with a friend who plays on PlayStation. Anyone know if my friend and I would be able to communicate while playing Rockets?

If so does it matter what kind?!

Hey, are there any people here that went to the first Nintendo convention in NYC?

DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince himself (Will Smith) performed. It was on a pier on the lower west side. I tried looking for video or anything about it, but I couldn't find any info.

I genuinely don’t know how Nintendo would make another 2D Smash game without it just being Ultimate 2. They’re not going to make it more hardcore for the big fans out there, which is why they should go all in with a 3D platform fighter with a fixed camera perspective. Anybody who’s played PowerStone knows how fun it can be, and I think Smash elements such as being launched offstage to die would be very fun with that formula. Also, seeing all of our favorite and iconic Nintendo locations in a 3D arena would be incredible. Do you guys think this would be possible? Im pretty sure that the internet would blow up at this news if it dropped, in a good way. It would be THE party game.

Which franchises would make good candidates for such a spin-off? My ideas would be franchises with multiple races, such as Mario and Zelda.

On the other hand, Ninty might be better off making a new IP for such a game.

Edit: Another franchise that could make for a good MMO would be Fire Emblem.

"Many online considered the Super Mario grocery store saga a modern David and Goliath situation, celebrating the little guy’s victory over a multi-billion dollar corporation. Nintendo has in recent years become known for its tenacious litigation, mostly against those who facilitate emulation of its video games but also in defense of its patents, as in the case of Pokémon clone Palworld."

Is there any revival of Dr. Mario World? Like Kaeru or anything? If there is then please tell me as I miss the game and want to play it again. Thanks in advance.

Y'all know that Nintendo has been doing this thing called Nintendo Selects where they put select games on a console they've made near its lifespan and they've been doing this since the N64 days, right? Well, that's not looking to be the case for the Switch considering that the Switch 2 is due to come out in a few months and we're already reaching the end of the Switch 1's lifespan and usually, a console manufacturer announces a discount brand (i.e. PlayStation Greatest Hits) for select games on their platforms a year or 2 before a successor is released. The other reason why I don't think Nintendo Selects will be a thing for the Switch is that Nintendo, unlike pretty much any other company nowadays, refuses to lower the prices of their games and will keep them full-priced basically forever (at least starting with the Switch era). Plus, bringing back Nintendo Selects would mean they'd have to put their games at a permament discount, which would go against their mindset of keeping first-party Switch games at full price.

I hope I'm wrong about this and a Nintendo Selects will happen on the Switch in the coming months, but honestly, it's looking rather unlikely. Only time will tell, and we'll see what the future holds.

This morning I stumbled upon a tweet from user coolestfucker showing a link to artwork of the original "Yoshi" game on MarioWiki

They are scans of an Official Nintendo Guide Book for the puzzle game. A handful of pages of the guidebook are actually just a short origin story of how Yoshi was born. The story is really cool and I'd never seen the artwork before which I thought was beautiful.

I tried finding an English version of the book for sale online but couldn't find it with the artwork. So I thought I'd do two things:

1. Restore and fix up and the scans to extract only the artwork without any text.
2. Do an English translation of the text and create a small PDF as if it were a short story of Yoshi's origin.

A few liberties I took:

1. Front cover: Logo: which I took the coloring inspiration from the Japanese lettering but with the English logo. Removed publishers and promotional messages. Added the NES instead of Famicom.
2. First page: Kept it with a focus on the art and story by removing the "Yoshi's Egg".
3. Last story page: Combined both text boxes into one.
4. Back cover: Removed ISBN/Serial code to match front cover

Here's a Google Drive link to the 7 artworks with no text + the translated PDF book: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1-5X5GDLp5q7TPZWaQQDu6E78s9nJgvFb?usp=share_link
