    I'm aware. I was making a distinction because the Wii U, like the Wii, had a launch title already bundled in. That's obviously not the case with the Switch.

     

    Wouldn't it be odd if they didn't eventually release a bundle? I mean, I know what company we're talking about. Never bet the farm on any sort of expectations from Nintendo, but I'd be shocked, frankly.

    It will be interesting to see if they do that. Certainly that's the path that Sony and Microsoft have taken, i.e., initial launch with no pack-in game and then release value-added bundles around the holidays and then going forward. Obviously, another path for Nintendo might also be a price drop, which I'd also consider a reasonable probability. Right now it's not particularly price competitive versus the console competition, although it may not need to be early on.

    It's what Nintendo has done, as well. I got my Wii U with Mario Kart 8 and Windwaker HD.

    most of those copies of atari vault were at $20, which is half the price it is now. so it's still significant.

    especially since it represents at least 50 times more copies sold.

     

    most namco retro games are all one player, who plays two player anymore? (they aren't online either)..

     

    too bad about the region issue, but why don't you just buy the physical versions?

    It's constantly on sale on Steam though, like everything there. It was something like $10 at Christmas.

     

    And it's not that I'm trying to get it, I was just responding to the post that said there aren't many on the leaderboards.

    I remember when GOG was just only selling old PC games, autoconfigured for DOSBox. Now, they're more about the indie game scene, but the old DOS games are still there. Nice that it's DRM free, too.

     

    I got into Steam by buying Civilization 3 at the store, getting home, putting the disk in the drive, and being forced to use Steam to download the game. That pissed me off, let me tell you. But, I've come around, especially since I use it more for indie or older games, as my PC is never quite good enough for new AAA titles. I don't play a lot of those, but when I do it's on a console.

    considering about 20,000+ were sold on steam:

    thats not bad, but the consoles do lag behind, and yes retro games vary in popularity, the recent dig dug, pac man, galaga, ms pac man all did well.

     

     

    also, can't you just change your region, and buy whatever game you want on the console?

    Steam often has deep discounts, so that's not surprising. I've bought a lot of games on Steam for a few bucks that I've yet to even open yet.

     

    Yeah, I picked up those Namco games, too, but I wouldn't have if I knew they were 1 player only.

     

    And no, even using a VPN, changing my region stops me from being able to buy anything, even things I can normally buy here, at least on XBL.
