so much hate in the comments section... Nintendo's supporting the Wii U like a champ! Jeeze... Nintendo fans are insatiable...

Who the heck is Darren Calvert?

Could it be?! A game that would've actually /benefited/ from EarthBound's marketing campaign?! Now I've seen everything!

@Einherjar Here yee, here yee.

/reaaaally/ don't get the hate for Other M. Beautiful visuals, really cool gameplay gimmick (2.5D Metroid platforming with 1st person aiming? Too cool!), and a FANTASTIC narrative; writing was too good. Thoroughly enjoyable!

This sucked. I woke up for nothing.

@ pierceon nononono it was tlozIItaol

I hate Molyneux... he reminds me of my college advisor; smarmy, smug, and bald.

@LunaticPandora Unfortunately for hardcore gamers (and your argument) the "Wii brand" series of games DOES count, was internally developed, and sold MASSIVELY. Your stance is null. Other than that, all I can think of is Elite Beat Agents, Tomodachi Collection (yes, it's JPN only, but it's selling in a big way) and Fling Smash. /argument

I'm actually really surprised nobody's pumped for Solomon's Key. My buddy and I picked up the cart and bust out the NES quite frequently for this gem! If you've seen the episode of Game Center CX where this was featured, picking it up is a no-brainer. Very challenging puzzler, but VERY rewarding, addicting, and plain fun. Controls like a dream. Definitely show some love!

this looks bulkier than my ex-husband.

@AyeHaley wouldn't be the first time Ubisoft has dabbled in theft. They stole my right to play a great game when delaying Legends!

AHHH!! Super Mario RPG?! That's a fluting FANTASTIC reward! Sold!

I've been holding off on the 3DS version because pixel art with vibrant colors looks unbelievable on an HDTV.

@SetupDisk I genuinely laughed, hard. Thank you!

I would do terrible, disgusting things for that tie.

I always find it a little embarrassing when I'm playing a game around friends or the girlfriend, and some boingy bit show up seemingly out of nowhere. Totally inappropriate, and I feel like I'm getting too old for that stuff. If I wanted to see pixelated boobs I wouldn't have friends over and I'd dim the lights.

Not bummed about this American Football game skipping the Wii U. I'm bummed about what this /potentially/ means for the console. I love Nintendo to death and I'm going to support them probably for life, but I just want some games, y'know? I'm excited about most of the games that have been announced so far, but I'm thinking I might have to cave and get a PS4 or summat to get a full gaming experience. I love the Wii U, and I love all of Nintendo's consoles, but I just really don't want a Virtual Boy or N64 scenario where there's only 20 or so must-haves and only three of those are developed by Nintendo. I'll be patient, as the heavy hitters haven't shown their faces yet. The Wii U still has tons of fight left in her!

CALL OF DOODOO MODERN WARFARE POO

Too rad for conveyance. I'll just sit here patiently.

I am SO tired of NES games!

I love how everyone is freaking out about the prices of these games "8 BUX FOR A FREAKING SNES GAME!?!!1 IF DIS WAS FIVE BUX I WOULD GEDDIT BUT LIKE DAT PRICE DIFFERENCE OF THREE BUX REALLY FROSTS MY BOTTOM!! AROOOGUH!!" It is 8 dollars. Eight. Dollars. These are games we paid $60+ back in the early 90's, and you had no problem then! How many of you guys dropped $30 on the NES classics series for GBA? These games, specifically SMW, are ones we will most likely be coming back to YEARS from now. Would it be nice if they were cheaper? Of course. But these aren't iPhone games that you'll impulse buy and never remember playing a couple of years down the road. Nintendo is world-renown for their software quality, and these games have resonated with us in ways words can't formulate. Your desired price of $5 is a $3 difference, which is next to nothing.

tl;dr go home, whiners. you're drunk.

@C-Olimar A re-hash, huh? Yeah, it's pretty easy to assess the game from a trailer that lasts a minute, and when Nintendo's gone on record to say that all of the dungeons were new.

Man... come to think about... Majora's Mask was a rehash, too! I mean, what a lazy game! Most of the assets where straight from Ocarina. This makes it a bad game!! Can't believe I never thought of this.

Thanks for enlightening me, bro!

I wish EarthBound was getting released on launch day... now THAT would've been a real kicker to launch the service!

Anyway, bleh. Super Mario World with Game Pad support and Miiverse integration is a surefire purchase from me. As for the rest, these are games I wouldn't even bother pirating.

@Deathgaze I don't know about you, but a lot of us fans of the game (especially younger fans) find it hard to purchase a SNES cart that costs upwards of $100. Nintendo has known about the passion for this game for a good while now, and it's easy to see how many people would buy the game upon it's VC release. Do they owe it to us? No. But literally everyone in the world knows that $100+ is, for many of us, a completely unjustifiable expense for a 20-year-old SNES cart.

If you guys had played the original, which I have, you would be more excited. Think Animal Crossing mixed with Tamogotchi; it's quite a beast to be at the reigns of. I think with the proper marketing, it could really take off here... at the very least, I just wish the 3DS wasn't region locked. Thinking of picking up the hardware bundle..

it's all about WWHD for me, with Yarn yoshi at a close second!!

@scir91 Wwwwwhaaaaat?

Why isn't Zen Pinball showing up in the eShop?!

@SpaceKappa No such patch exists. I watched a stream of Fangamer/EB Central play through the JPN Wii U release yesterday, and nothing about the rom was changed.

I just want a portable Nintendo 64. I just want it so bad.

@Obvious78 It's OBVIOUS that you're trolling.

I was expecting this to score a lot lower! When I was a kid, I would get new GBA games, and I was so bummed every time they were this isometric type of platformer. Bionicle, Spyro/Crash, Banjo-Kazooie... the list goes on. Not to mention Grant Kirkhoppe doesn't do the music for this entry. It's not a bad game, but I have no desire to pick up where I left off years ago.

I had a few friends who had the Genesis, and I own Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection, so I'm well versed in the type of games featured on the Sega. I didn't own a SNES until I was 15, so the nostalgia-tinted goggles are non-existent when I say the SNES has captivated me in a way that the Genesis can never, and will never, be able to!

There's just that charm that Nintendo has that goes beyond words, sprinkled across all of their games.

What a catch 22. No triple-A software comes to the Wii U because the user install base isn't high, and the user install base isn't high because no triple-A software comes to the Wii U. So frustrating to own a Wii U and deal with these developers' comments...

Wow this almost sounds too good to be true! I usually stick with original hardware when buying, but the inclusion of GBA and HDMI out has me sold.

Gotta say, I love these Hardware Classics features! The writing and pictures are so cool. That said, I grew up with the US SNES, and by God, would I have taken the SFC over the SNES any day! Soooo sexy.

I absolutely have to buy this game now. THIS GUY. THIS IS HOW YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE A HUMAN.

Dang. I was really hoping that the Amazing Spiderman would be the answer to AUS's devilishly poor Wii U sales performance. Another dream shattered.

@Residentsteven I'm 22, and I have a record player because it offers a much higher quality of sound. It's more organic, in a sense. OH GOD IT'S SO OOOOLD. Nope, record players are still manufactured.

Absolutely adore the graphical style. Holy cow.

I pooped bricks seeing this article.

Eh. I'd say this is nothing compared to long translation times or localization never happening. Give me Tomodachi Collection, Taiko no Tatsujin, or MOTHER 2 on the VC before anything we have here!

@Tsuchiya Reading through the first half of these comments, it seems someone might have their nostalgia glasses glued on.

AHHHH European cases look so rad compared to American/Japanese ones!

I just hope this comes out before or after Super Luigi U. Wanna give Watch Dogs a fighting chance upon release. A same-day release would blow my mind, it probably wouldn't even sell.

It's so so lame and truly disheartening to see how spoiled and ungrateful the lot of you are. They don't have to release this, they have NO obligation to do anything for us. They owe us nothing. It's a /video game!/ Jeeze, support the devs who actually MADE the game. It's not their fault. Buncha whiners.

@Shiryu One can only hope. This also looks bad on Sega's part. I will never understand why people release straight-up bad games.

Quest 64 was pretty horrid.
