(Initially hearing about this)
I'm definitely not interested in any of that old guff.

(Seeing that cardboard box and colour postcards)
Uhm... maybe I'm back in for this.

.

This actually looks sick af, and it was very sweet of them to get the OG 1990 champ in the trailer.

I read that as "ShopTo" for some odd reason!

Can't see it up for pre-order anywhere yet. I'm guessing that the physical version will be more than £24.99. Hmmn... I'll probably hold off if so.

My thought pattern was the same

I'll be trying to get ahold of that physical edition, looks fantastic, so it'll be scalpers new favourite thing

Who said Nintendo were out of ideas for the Switch, eh?

It really is impressive how they find new ways of selling the same old gooseberry fool

But, it's got a new hat!

Try £49.99

I’m still tempted though

Ridiculous really, this should be just free as part of the NES online malarkey.

It's £50 just for the digital game? Yeah, that special edition is going to be well out of reach price wise then

Edit, the digital version is £24.99, I got myself confused

No, sorry £50 for the deluxe, £25 for digital (That’s way overpriced for another collection of roms that arguably is worse than NES Remix)

Fifty wraps .

I just remembered that I felt burned by the old Mario ROM physical collection on the Wii. Not gonna do that again.

That £50 physical edition is a Nintendo Store exclusive and apparently you have to "register your interest" if you want to buy it.

Yeah, warmed my heart to see the old contestents back

...and made me crumple to dust seeing what children from 2015 look like now

Thats rubbish its an exclusive, even registering your interest won't stop the scalpers

I guess it's the kind of thing that might come to NSO trials? Or whatever they call it.

Gives you an idea of the quality we can expect from Nintendo releases the rest of the year

The physical release pre-order has gone live on Nintendo’s UK store

Got my copy

Tempting, but can't justify it to be honest, might still get it on the eshop though.
