I disagree, Mutant Mudds Deluxe and Mighty Switch Force! 2 are awesome additions to the eShop. Plus, Sonic the Hedgehog and Columns for Game Gear are solid titles. #1.1
Just because Namco is helping with development doesn't mean Pac-Man is a lock for the game. Mega Man is on the list, and I didn't want to include too many third party characters, because honestly, this is a Nintendo game at heart. #1.2
I agree, I often feel the same way. Modern games just don't compare to anything from the 80s/90s. Feels like I'm playing a guided experience rather than a video game. #3.1
I'm not sure they'll do that. It looks like Nintendo is re-releasing all the Virtual Console titles they did on the Wii and to a lesser extent, the 3DS. Besides Earthbound, I don't see many truly new VC titles for a long time.
I also love the deals that Nintendo and third-party publishers have been offering to its fans. You can get both those Capcom titles for under 9 bucks, that is a steal, especially considering you can get Mega Man X for $4. #1.2
I hope I'm wrong. #4.1
