In case anyone missed out on them and wanted them

RGT's video for games to look out for on the Wii U shop before it closes

 

[Wellman]

Damn can't believe in about three weeks another digital console market gets locked away to time and memory. With Metroid Prime remastered and promise of GBA games via Switch Online, it helps narrow certain avenues but I am still on fence about buying Punch out for Wii or not.

[RSG3]

I'd buy Punchout for Wii physically, but I collect.

Not counting Birdo we’re seemingly getting 5 new characters to MK8D

Yoshi’s Island has unique music for start of the race, finishing, and results.

In case this helps anyone, Shovel Knight Treasure Trove is on sale on 3DS eshop for $4.49. I finally picked it up after hearing so much about it over the years.

While it sucks, I can understand shuttering the stores for older consoles after awhile. It takes resources to keep those running and I doubt a lot of people are using them all that much anyway. Plus, there's a chance they pass the costs to run those on to the consumer at some point.

[RSG3]

It's an example of why nothing should be all digital tho.

They gotta be bringing Samus, right?

A Metroid Track would be god damn amazing.  I'm picturing racing through Brinstar right now with a Ridley and Metroid hazards with the MK8 band playing Metroid Jazz and I want this in my veins.

Fuck, even a Goomba would be better then that. Goomba don't have arms like that would at least be funny. How do they steer?

I for one eagerly await the day one of the Penguins are added to Mario Kart as DLC and the most busted kart ever.

Ahh yes...the Penguin finally getting revenge for all the children we dropped off the cliff.

Gimme that Plessi!

[Sonichuman]

On my way to the VGM thread, thought since we were talking about Mario Kart this was relevant

 

[JGreen]

Lots of Capcom 3DS games went on sale for $3. Monster Hunter, Phoenix Wright, Resident Evil, and Mega Man collection are all up. Sadly I just bought the two Phoenix Wright games I didn’t have on it for full price the other day.

[RegH81]

I hope we get Captain Falcon as one of the new Mario Kart 8 Deluxe characters. Nintendo doesn't wanna make a new F-ZERO because stupid AF "reasons" so giving the Captain a character spot would be much easier. We already got his car.

 

Or how about Kirby? With all the love he's been getting on the Switch, he more than deserves a spot among those 5 question marks.

Squid Sister dropping an newer rendition of an old song and a completely new song at this upcoming splatfest

[MillionX]

Squad 51 vs. the Flying Saucers is one I've had fun with lately; I love this "1950s Sci-fi" aesthetic it has going on:

 

[Sonichuman]

Edit: Nessie took the splatfest...I have yet to be on a team to win one of these yet lol.

[TheInfernoman]

I have only won one Splatfest and that was the only time I didn't join the same team as my gal. 🤣

 

SaldyI lost this one too...IT'S RIGGED😒

[Sonichuman]

I was trying to play last night and every team I was on was getting shut out it felt like.  We couldn't make ANY push.

[Sonichuman]

My goofball humor aside, he looks fucking cool.

LOL it might be a coincidence but I'm guessing Nintendo is just trolling that chick who slammed the SMB movie for its' cat costumes

Got Zelda thinking..."Hmmmm maybe Ganny is on to something with ruling Hyrule?  Never really heard him out"

[Darc_Requiem]

Humor is the best part of the internet. That Ganon/Zelda pic has me rolling right now.🤣

Maximus cups are still a thing apparently 

 

 

[Wellman]

I weirdly still participate just to get those themes. The backgrounds are basic but the music is always cool to hear, when I get the urge for a Tetris run. 

 

Still ain't never won one of the single matches.

Some of the music are bangers. The Animal Crossing theme is one of my favorites because the music is so damn good, same with Splatoon.

Rex: "What's the bad news?"

Klaus: "You lose an eye."

Rex: "Aw...that will hurt my salvaging ability. Well, what's the good news."

Klaus: "You'll be more jacked than Vandham and have three hots wives when you grow up."

Rex: "Sounds like fair trade to me."

Speaking of Xenoblade, there’s going to be a limited print of the OST. There are two versions. One includes all of the music from most of the Xenoblade games (just missing X). The other, is just 3. However, it also includes a couple extras like 1/3 sized replica of Mio’s and Noah’s flutes and the box is supposed to resemble a time capsule containing the memories of the six of them. I’m probably going to get 3’s OST myself since I love the idea of the time capsule. Also, all of the music will be available online to buy as well.

I fucking hate they're not selling the limited edition of the OST outside of this site, plus 16k yen is a hard pill to swallow (is about $115 USD). I'll probably buy the regular edition from CDJapan, as it's about 1/2 that cost. 

Also, for our RPG fans out there .... a remaster of Ys: The Oath of Felghana will be out soon on Switch in Japan, so I would not be surprised if NIS brings the remaster stateside later this year/early 2024 and does translation work and gives it an English release.
