Is this going to be a title that's only on the switch? I'm asking because the optimist in me wants to believe that they'll be making it for the New 3DS as well.

Unfortunately, yes. They had to make some compromises with the last one in order for it to be on the Wii U and 3DS.  They had to scrap a few previous characters since they couldn't get them to work on the 3DS.  Since they wanted a complete returning roster they focused solely on the Switch.

Probably shouldn't remind us of that time Simon was a douchebag.

Or that one time Simon forgot how to be a Vampire hunter and everyone else had to teach him how to be one again.

Seriously though, Captain N would make a great retro-joke character in the vein of R,O.B. and Mr. Game & Watch. He has a very compatible set of powers, and all his friends made it to the tournament!

I suspect that there are legal reasons that Captain N isn't usable, such as ownership by DiC or whoever half assed that show.  I suppose the rights are cheap, but a show's quality isn't always proportional to licensing costs.

I got the entire Sega Mega Drive and Genesis Classics collection for dirt-cheap in a Steam sale, so this is a good way to get me to double-dip. I just hope they have the resources and get the support to release more than a few games this way.

I've never played Phantasy Star, and this sounds like a good way to try it to me, so I think I'll pick that one up at least.

What's great about the Sega Mega Drive and Genesis Classics collection is that those games are just ROMs and can be played back not only on any Genesis/Mega Drive emulator but also on an actual Genesis Mega Drive itself if you have an Everdrive MD.

EDIT: Speaking of which, a new Sega Genesis/Mega Drive game dropped last week. Check it out! https://tanglewoodgame.com/index.html

I'm really looking forward to Megaman 11... but for some reason I cannot explain I am terrified the game will somehow turn out the same way Mighty No. 9 did.

Maybe because the art looks equally bad?
