Excuse me, but they give a Spirit Event to stripes before polka dots!?

Weird...I though there would be a Spirit Event for either Miitopia or the FDC remakes (the former especially since there's already Miitopia music in the game).

Has this been brought up yet? Seems like Skyward Sword HD is getting an amiibo.
I bet the next Smash amiibo will be revealed in the upcoming weeks as well.
Edit: Greninja'd. Ah well.

In the meantime the best Fire Emblem game gets added to the NSO... only in Japan 
If they're not planning to remake older entries anytime soon they should at least give these games the FE1 treatment they did not long ago.

Yeah, that's basically a quality of life improvement that should have been part of the HD remaster.
The amiibo itself looks great, Skyward Sword Zelda is probably my favorite version of the character so I might pick it up, but that feature should have been included with the game.

To be fair, people complain whenever the opposite happens. Samus Returns gave you a legit reason to want the amiibo, and everyone got mad.

Tbh I’m just gonna get the Amiibo because of how cool it looks

Skyward Sword HD just means we're one step closer to the game we've been basically wanting forever.

That amiibo looks really cool i'll probably pick it up assuming it doesn't get scalped immediately
People get really angry at SNES online for not adding big game after big game, And like the lack of Earthbound is very weird, but this is an opportunity for a lot of obscure games to be released on modern consoles, it's a necessary evil.

Sup?
At this point, I almost unironically expect Earthbound to drop on the Eshop for like, 10-15 bucks.
Earthbound has always been an odd duck of VC releases, always being more expensive. I almost wonder if there's deals they have to cut with Itoi.

It's common. There's a lot of obscure games for most systems(and even ones with few games might be obscure anyway due to being a barely known system).
The middleground is unlocking new content relevant to the amiibo that doesn't give advantages, and if it does it can be unlocked in otherways. Things like fast travel and difficulty modes should just be menu options.
Mind there hasn't been a game that used amiibo in an interesting way for yonks. Giving old Zelda Smash amiibo the ability to unlock cosmetic weapons and outfits in BotW made them fly off shelves. Maybe BotW2 will bring that back and the Skyloft...
oh the Skyloft's gonna unlock a mount in BotW like how Wolf Link from TPHD unlocked a companion, calling it now

This actually kind of bums me out, as it means that an FE4 remake is 95% not happening in the near future. Which sucks, since Genealogy is the Fire Emblem that would benefit most from the tweaking, rebalancing, and expansion that a remake would bring. The plot, cast, and setting are 10/10, so adding things like support conversations and extra scenes that integrate info from stuff like Kaga's interviews and notes would only benefit the experience.
I guess that means we're getting a Binding Blade or Path of Radiance remake if the rumours are to be believed. On the one hand, I get it, it's time for IS to cash out on that
/ popularity and let people experience their games without emulation. However, Binding Blade and especially Path of Radiance hold up fine. Binding Blade's cast could probably benefit from some more characterization, but there are also 54 playable units in Binding Blade so good luck with that. IMO, here's where the rereleases should be focused, not Genealogy.

That seems doubtful to me tbh. Couldn't you purchase Fire Emblem Gaiden on Virtual Console at the same time you could buy Shadows of Valentia? Plus They seem intent on remaking all the old ones if they even went back to Gaiden. But you are on to something. I have thought for a while that maybe Three Houses was worked on as a stand-in for a remake of Genealogy of the Holy War because it reuses a lot of the same themes. Timeskip, magical blood powers, an emphasis on the intricacies and consequences of nobility and monarchy...

Well, if FE4 remake is out of the question, I'll happily take a FE6 remake.
I wouldn't be opposed to remakes of the Radiant games either, though I already played those games so it wouldn't be quite as exciting for me if they went for those.

And yet again Earthbound and Earthbound Beginnings gets shafted. I hope it does mean an Earthbound collection being in the works.

Gaiden was available on the 3DS' Japanese Virtual Console when Shadows of Valentia was released, but it was also added 4 years prior to Shadows of Valentia's release and likely before IS had even considered remaking Gaiden.
The fact that Genealogy is the oldest Fire Emblem without a remake and that Three Houses revisited so many of its themes (albeit doing things differently, such as having the time skip be 5 years instead of 20 and Edelgard and Dimitri deconstructing the Emperor and Lord archetypes in a way that differs from Arvis and Sigurd) was what had actually given me hope for a remake. However, after this news, I just can't see IS giving the go-ahead on an NSO release of a game that is going to be resold as a full-priced experience in the near future.
Then again, I could be (and I'm hoping) that I'm wrong.

GOD PLEASE JUST LET ME HAVE EARTHBOUND AND BEGINNINGS ON MODERN CONSOLES AND MOTHER 3 AS WELL. Sorry, that was uncalled for. I am just very passionate lol.

After Three Houses I'm not sure I'm gamer enough to play without the rewind feature to some degree so if we can add that in to Elibe/Tellius remakes I'm all for it
Well, that and, y'know, being able to play the games in the first place.

Well, to be fair, you could always get a copy of Tellius games now if you wanted. You might have to trade in a kidney to the black market to afford it, but you could do it...

And seeing as I already sold both my kidneys and my spleen a couple months ago in a demented ritual to ensure the last two would be Adol and Reimu... Uh...

Don't worry, I'll make sure I play the hell out of Adol once he's in Smash to honor your sacrifice.

Yep, Still kicking myself for not buying Path Of Radiance for 70 bucks when I had the chance.

A couple of months ago, a couple of my friends were buying a used PS2 and one of them said that it didn't make sense for games from that era to be expensive and that they were all getting ripped off.
He quickly changed his tune when I showed him the average price for Path of Radiance on eBay.

If anyone has any ideas for either of these hypothetical events, I made a thread for it: https://smashboards.com/threads/spirit-board-event-ideas.507078/
I think we might still be getting them somehow, and the wait is just because they want it give it a big fanfare. I mean, Iwata himself announced EarthBound on Wii U months before release -
So if they have any plans for anything EB related they're probably gonna make a big deal out of it, which means waiting for E3. Gotta milk it for all the attention they can.
On that note, I replayed and beat EB:B, and I'm up to Deep Darkness in EB. Really great series, rekindled my love for it. Even ordered a Mini Mr. Saturn and a Franklin Badge from the official Mother merchandise store ...and I still think Porky is a dumb addition lmao.

Hmm..... I wonder how the reception is to Nintendo adding games no one cares about for the 50th time while ignoring the stuff people actually want.

Time to repost this spiel from like 10 posts ago.
This is probably the only time most of these games will get rereleased so it's a necessary evil in that regard.
Virtual Console was 100% better tho.

I'm just happy that they're adding Magical Drop, personally. NSO's lineup may be lackluster to some but with Puyo Puyo and Panel de Pon alone I've gotten more mileage out of the service than most people begging for big ticket SNES games probably have, lmao.
Speaking of which, there's quite a bit on there I've been meaning to replay. The library isn't all that bad, really. The service itself is flawed but I'm kinda glad I don't have to actively pay for these games again. It just sucks that Nintendo seems to have no plans to bring any other classic consoles to the Switch outside of overpriced port collections.
If there's anything I want more of, it's localizing Japan only stuff like Panel de Pon. FE4 would have been nice but it's understandable why they'd hesitate on an extremely text-driven game. Sutte Hakkun is another amazing puzzler that doesn't particularly need a translation and I'd love to have on my Switch - highly recommend to those who haven't heard of it and are looking for a charming mental exercise.

Big
energy with those NSO additions, like usual.
Nintendo sees unique value in leveraging the Mother series games to capitalize off the esteem in which they are held, and we won't see any of them just dropped unceremoniously on the NSO. They'll definitely be used strategically to incentivize or mitigate some future development.
It's pretty common because Nintendo can't seem to license many of the more well-known ones, so we get a lot of obscure stuff from smaller companies.
Unfortunately those have little use to Sakurai. Should've sold him your tendons or let him siphon off some of your youth. Sounds like you got played.

Idk about y'all, but that Nintendo REDACTED stuff really screams imminent Game Pass announcement to me. I don't think Nintendo would be jumping through hoops to hide it if something wasn't coming of it.

Quick question; would Fighters Pass sales have increased any if Sans was the Mii costume you get when purchasing Vol. 1 and Cuphead was the Mii costume you get when purchasing Vol. 2?
