Do you have nintendo id?
I do not, never owned a Nintendo product prior. Can I create one and purchase now, then add it to my switch once purchased?

You could create an account but I doubt they will allow you to purchase a game. At least that's how it worked sometime back. Not sure if they changed their system.

The ID must be connected to a system before they would allow you to shop

I plan to buy a switch for my son for Christmas. Can this be purchased now even though I don't have a switch yet?
Edit: If your budget doesn't allow you to buy the switch early, then my advice doesn't really apply. But my understanding is that you cannot purchase switch digital games until you create the nintendo account and register the switch to that account.

This question comes up a lot, especially as we approach Christmas. The general recommendation is that you should open up the switch now, charge it, set up the online account, and do all the updates before Christmas morning. There are a few benefits:
1) You'll ensure that the switch is in working condition.
2) Your child won't have to do all this Christmas day (which may require your help and keep from doing other things on Christmas day).
3) You can purchase and download deeply discounted digital titles like this one ahead of time.
4) It also gives you a chance to install a screen protector ahead of time if you're interested in that.

How did these versions play? The Sega Ages Phantasy Star 1 version has a ton of quality of life improvements, but sadly, not any of the sequels
Agreed, loved the improvements on PS1, especially no longer having to build my own dungeon maps!

Anyway, any idea if they'll be putting together a collection like this of the Sega Master System games? I'd be all over that.

Worth it for Shining Force I & II alone. Some other great titles on there though, definitely worth throwing a few $$$ at.

Getting an error when attempting to check out Error Code 9001-1630
That error code is an alert ⚠️ "ALERT: There are No Mortal Kombat titles are included!"

I got the same code and canceled my order.

The expansion pack games perform wayyy better due to color correction and input lag.
So is a fair question- pay $6 for laggy games or pay $49 for one year of Nintendo Switch online + expansion pack" ?

I played Sonic and Sonic 2 in this Genesis collection and the lag made the games unplayable for me. I played Sonic 2 with the Online Expansion pack and it played perfect. For the Expansion pack, I purchase a spot on a family plan on Ebay each year. I believe I paid $17 this year

I just bought the PS4 version to use on my PS5 with the PS Portal before seeing comments about lagginess.

I wonder if that version is any better.

I've bought Sonic 1 by itself for my PS3 and it played good. Let us know if you get laginess with your Genesis collection.
