I pray they won't PC it up and that the great Italian boxer Pizza Pasta remains in the game :D
The better release this westward soon. The whole eShop needs a revamp btw. The Wii U's eShop looked MILES better.
I agree... I understand their desire to distance themselves from the Wii/Mii brand, but I really think Nintendo only needed to tweak their Miiverse and eShop and perhaps rebrand it with new names.
It just seems weird that after a full year we still don't have those two features, which were some of the only things that received mostly universal praise from the Wii U. Don't get me wrong, I still love my Switch, but I just miss the features and personality that the Wii U brought to the table.

It's all fine and dandy to distance themselves from the "Wii brand", but Nintendo is all about creativity and personality. I fully expected their UI to look....well magical. Nintendo always does that. Even the music on the Wii U eshop sounds awesome. I want them to recapture that with the Switch. Especially seeing as how hugely popular the Switch is. I thought they would want to work to make it better. This and the Virtual Console is what's missing here. Are they just gonna go the Arcade Archives route or something?
Obviously I hope this comes to the U.S. and other territories soon, but I hope they also make ports of Arcade Super Punch Out!! and Arm Wrestling.
Cool. Great game.
Sweet! Never got to play this one.
They were placed vertically but due to pixel estate on the Switch, it'd be best to place them in landscape mode, or else you'd be squinting at the screen. Personally I think Nintendo should have made 2 kickstand options for horizontal and vertical play so you can play your Switch in portrait mode at least in table top mode.
