This would have been an amazing title to release on the Switch's VC, but having it as a system seller for the Mini SNES is brilliant. But considering there aren't going to be enough Mini SNESs to satisfy 1/10 of the demand, I hjope they put the game on the VC soon enough. N3DS or Switch.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

No. Because Earthbound 0 would be it then. This should of been done on the Wii VC.

No because it never got a release date.

EarthBound Beginnings says hi.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

The North American version was delayed for 24 years, but it still had a Japanese release. Star Fox 2 never got an official release anywhere.

Switch: 151 million (was 73, then 96, then 113 million, then 125 million, then 144 million)

No. Half Life 3 is the biggest delay in the video game industry since it will be delayed for infinite years.



A handheld gamer only (for now).

Well...the difference is that game was actually released somewhere. SF2 hasn't been released at all until 9/29.

That's not a delay.

Agreed.  If Nintendo kept saying "its coming soon", then it would qualify as a delay, IMO.  That's not what happened though.

Not really... because it will never release.



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

An infinite delay is longer than any other delay. I'd agree with you if the game was cancelled, but it's not... Well, I suppose technically Half-Life 3 has never been announced, but Half-Life 2: Episode 3 is at the very least half-confirmed, which at this point can be considered to have been replaced by Half-Life 3 (there's just no chance of another Half-Life 2 game ten years after the previous one).
