Is Snake Pass worth getting?
Pikmin 2? On the Wii U?
As in the Gamecube version back in…..whatever year. Wow, that’s pretty cool. I might pick that up, but I still have my Gamecube version somewhere in my garage…..wish I just had a working Wii/Gamecube system. :/
I’d still recommend the Wii one even if you found your GCN disc. The point and click controls with the wiimote are more enjoyable/intuitive to play with.
Give us Pocket Rumble or give us death
When are they going to bring Virtual Console to Switch and make it worth getting?
