twiztor | 850 Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 100% in. i do find it odd that they didn't include the actual Zelda G&W game, but it's certainly not a deal breaker for me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phart010 | 1,707 Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Don’t know why they chose to go with black and white for Links Awakening. Why not just do the DX color version? The emulation can handle it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renmauzo | 1,200 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Pre-ordered one for my wife and I and one for my sister (big Legend of Zelda fan) this evening. Our birthdays are Nov. 8 and 12, so it'll be a nice b-day gift for each of us It might seem silly, but I really like the 'Watch' aspect of these G&W handhelds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki | 4,933 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 I'm 100% on board, buy one maybe two. I've still got a sealed up SMB on the high shelf. The two things that puzzle me. Links Awakening black and white...why? And Link's Vermin? ** ** I mean I get why they didn't do the G&W actual game, it's both dual screen and also fairly terrible compared to a good many of them. BUT, considering they do have a license and ownership over it, the Nelsonic wrist watch game is stunningly good for a segmented LCD game as it plays and works much like the underworld dungeons of the original game and is a blast to play it too (I still own one that works.) I would have put serious time on that, Vermin, basically play once or twice and forget. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RH | 4,903 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 All I have to say is I feel slightly shafted with the SMB one. We got one SMB game. It would have been nice to have had a comparable one with SMB1, SMB3, Super Mario Land and then another old school Game and Watch title packed in. Eh, I bet they sold more of the Marios than they expected and since the hardware was already designed, they simply had more time on this one to pull more games together. I'm not really bitter or anything. It would have just been nice to have had a similar setup for Mario. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thoughts, pretty much. Do people actually play these things? I guess not everyone has a Switch with NSO, or an Ambassador 3DS, or a GBA or... Actually, that probably is a decent number of people.

SailorScoutMandy | 782 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 It's so cute. It'll look good on shelf next to the Mario one. Also I fucking hate scalpers. All the Metroid special editions: gone. Already listed at 2-3x the price on eBay, same with the amiibos. This scalper culture keeps getting worse, ugh. Same thing happened with the skyward sword amiibo, poof! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_Bogomil | 815 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Awesome device and way better than the Mario one but I ain't buyin' it because I own all the games. Take that, Nintendo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanooki | 4,933 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Odds are if they did more Metroid would be a prime candidate given Prime 4 is still coming, could roll out both in 2022 for a third G&W. They could stuff 1 2 and 3 on that, then bastardize another G&W into the them like Link Vermin. I miss the G&Ws I used to have, the prices on them now do ever so suck, which is why I was floored getting parachute locally the other day in a package for $25, so any chance to get a new Nintendo made G&W even if it's not segmented LCD stuff I'm grabbing it. As it is I'm up to 3 of them from the era now, the Zelda nelsonic watch, the club Nintendo Ball, and the new SMB G&W. I think that's pretty nice.

OptOut | 8,883 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 I didn't bother with the Mario one, and I like Zelda less, so yeah pass from me! I'm sure it's great, but I'm not interested. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying this antagonistically but I’m genuinely curious if you felt the same way about the mini/classic systems. I know there’s quite a bit of difference between the two but the idea of having legacy titles in a cute little package is sort of the same idea here.
