One day Nintendo games will be free of the shackles of Nintendo hardware and we will all be so much better for it.

Tears is an absolutely brilliant game that suffers from 20-30fps and incredibly conspicuous pop-ins.

I’ve been using a PS4 controller which really helps with avoiding cramping on tiny controllers. Though I’ve heard the Pro Controller is great too. But in general I find myself enjoying the game despite the hardware.



They will rerelease this game eventually on a future console and it will play at 60fps easily. They have done this with almost every Zelda game.


I really wanted Mario Sunshine on the switch earlier this season. They stopped selling the software on purpose.

Limited-time-only software is completely against Nintendo’s core philosophy of fun. It’s quite shocking.


Software generally isn't released forever. Can you buy the original Metroid Prime for Gamecube? Nope. Same with pretty much any old game. It was a time limited release for the anniversary. If you still want it you can buy the disk version on Amazon for $100, no?


Super Mario 3D All Stars was released on September 18, 2020 and was available until March 31, 2021, when it was discontinued. Six months.

I’ll get the popcorn for the Nintendo apologist responses. But this is silly, foolish, and absolutely anti-Nintendo when it comes to it games being about fun and not about collecting or scalping. I’m not paying $159 for it. I’ll just pirate it.


yes, it was a limited release and said so when it was released:

you're acting as if this was some sort of rug pull.

again, if you want it you can still buy it - just not from nintendo directly. I fail to see the issue.
