Note: Nintendo's website mometarily had a pre-order for Tears of the Kingdom up and listed for $69.99 before it was taken down. Whether that was a complete mistake, an actual price increase they weren't ready to announce, or something in between like a digital deluxe edition is still uncertain, but I think online stores are panicking as a result and closing preorders of Nintendo games until they know what's up.

Yep, I preordered mine (checks the email) October 2018. Also @WildcatJF I've had at least one other preorder take so long the card I originally used expired and when I updated it they refused to honor Gamers Club pricing anymore.
Booooooo. Guess I'll find out if it holds or not, lol.
I am shocked that I did a quick search for anyone mentioning a Mother/Earthbound release in the last few posts, and saw nothing. Have we fallen so far that we no longer predict an "instant" Mother 3 drop? After all this time, have we become so jaded that we do not have expectations of entering the Kingdom of Heaven/New Pork City? I weep for our children, and our children's children, all of whom will never know the sweet sting of hoping to see Lucas again, and then watching those wishes dashed against the rigid rocks of reality.
Um I think you're in for quite the surprise sir 😏

I follow the RSS feed and posts are at least a month apart and often about games that came out a while ago, but it's still going. But I just checked and my feed doesn't have the post above, so might have moved to Twitter or something.
Yeah, for sure.

An obvious thing I want that I feel dumb for not thinking of last night:
A Fire Emblem Path of Radiance/Radiant Dawn release. I'll take a remaster if that's all I can get, but am a little wary of reworked writing and characterization not being as good as the original.

[trailer starts with a black void]
[stars and nebulae slowly come into view]
[the silhouette of a logo can be seen in the center of the screen]
[a deep, alien-sounding bass synth starts droning]
[the number 4 moves into place an slots itself in the logo]
[the first notes of the metroid theme start playing]
[the words "Metroid Prime 4" slowly fade into view]
[as that happens, a number 2 slots itself into the bottom of the logo]
[the subtitle "Federation Force 2" appears, with a loud horn blaring or something]
[pause for a beat]
[indistinct piano music starts playing]
[triangles converge to the center of the screen]
[a bright flash of light]
[the full title is revealed as "The Legend of Zelda: Metroid Prime 4: Federation Force 2: Tears of the KingdoM"]
[the piano music coalesces into something familiar]
[below the logo this statement appears: "Delayed until September 8, 2023 to commemorate the first anniversary of the passing of her majesty Queen Elizabeth II"]
[God Save the Queen plays solemnly against the still image of the logo for the remaining 35 seconds of the trailer]

Nope and totally cool with that
And Etrian Odyssey 1-3 HD? DS is getting some love finally.

(not criticizing the release btw, just observing that the original delay was always going to inevitably be hypocritical one way or another—absent the unexpected development of world peace, either they were going to release it during another war that nintendo's target audiences cared less about, or when people stopped paying attention to the initial cause of the delay. it turned out to be the latter.)
It's probably kind of ridiculous how excited I am about Metroid Prime Remastered, given how many times I've already played through the original version. I do hope they offer a Metroid Prime Trilogy Wii-style motion control scheme, though.

Yeah, I'm weirded out by that.
I think the GBA games were the same 3DS ambassador games back in the day? I forget.

It's not a huge burden to not pick the pervy portraits when you play the games. And anyway, these remasters seem to completely replace all the character art with new stuff that doesn't look pervy.
