So, interestingly enough, I started running some numbers.  There are actually more retro games available on switch than the wii, wii u or 3ds!  But it's difficult to get the full picture. Several of these collections overlap.  But then sometimes different versions of a game are significant enough they should count separately.  I also only pulled virtual console numbers for the other systems.  I know there were at least some compilations and collections on them as well.

It might be interesting to give a breakdown by system. (how many SNES games are available on switch vs. Wii?)  Part of the reason the offerings on switch feel so sparse is I sort of mentally block out all the arcade stuff and the atari collection, and those make up a good chunk of Switch's final number.

(Question of the week)

ChrisHL94 - 

With the recent release of the Monster Hunter film, what is the best and worst film based on a video game? What is the best and worst video game adapted from a film? 

 

Mechadragon:

Where do you cross the line when it comes to selling retro games at a higher price to make a profit, vs selling a game to someone and ripping them off with the price.

Favorite game that uses a peripheral

Game of Scones (Jason B)02/04/2021

Probably Wii Fit?  I'm intrigued by Ring Fit Adventure

 

Adr0ck02/04/2021

I dunno, hard to beat the fun and simplicity of Duck Hunt

 

Eric Plunk02/04/2021

Typing of The Dead - Dreamcast

 

Bryan S 🎮02/04/2021

Probably not my favorite favorite, but ima say Mario Paint and that mouse.

The fly swatting game slapped...pun intended.

 

Jaetallica02/04/2021

Guitar Hero... I had many great times on that with my friends and a few beers!!

One game I’ve wanted to try is Pac-Man VS on the GameCube.  I haven’t tried it, but on my quest to do a let’s play of every Kirby game I coincidentally also bought all the equipment needed for a full game (GBA, Link cable, 3 other GC controllers). I just need the game itself

 

Third Strongest Mole (Sam)02/04/2021

Recently discovered Odama and the gamecube microphone!

I can’t think of anything that beats DK Jungle Beat. If you play the game the way it was intended to be played, going for the high score, there is a definite “rhythm” to that game. If you watched someone else play, or simply played for 20 minutes you’d never realize it. But once you get really good and realize how it works it’s pretty amazing.

 

Adrock and Tim’s got jokes with the Wii Nunchuck.

Definitely counts - thus my vote for Metroid Prime Trilogy :grin:

 

Thn Tim chimes in again with the 3DS STAND for Kid Icarus…

 

hambone jonny02/04/2021

I change my answer!  I’m going with the paper weight I used to hold down the button on the second controller that let me jump xtra high in mega man.

 

SpiderShan02/04/2021

I’ll go with LoZ: Four Swords Adventures. To properly play required link cables and GBAs. I never had anyone to play with though so most of the time I just played single player with a GC controller. Either way it’s actually a pretty fun game.

 

ChrisHL9402/04/2021

I think the only peripheral I have owned is the Light Gun and Duck Hunt.

 

Chris mentioned the NES Advantage saying “The turbo buttons made shooting fireballs or swimming in Super Mario Bros or Super Mario Bros 3 so much easier.

It was great for any shooters like Galaga, my fingers didn’t get tired from button mashing.”
