I find it oddly fitting to look at this picture while listening to Sarah McLachlan's "I Will Remember You." This is a very moving picture. RIP, Nintendo Power.

Very impressive! I'm surprised nobody suggested "Charcander" yet!

It's been a pleasure reading Nintendo Power. Too bad you didn't get to issue 300. Go out with a bang!

My guess is November 18th for $300, bundled with Nintendo Land.

Well, that's one pleasure of mine gone down the drain. I'll never forget you, Nintendo Power. Sure, you can find video gaming news and tips all around the Internet these days, but Nintendo Power pioneered it first, doing it with great wit and a slightly sarcastic sense of humor. It was also on rare occasions a source of news that brought attention to certain games first, like Epic Mickey 2 and Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate. I'll miss the funny editors, Mr. T. jokes, Power Profiles, reviews, previews, and especially the Power Up! section. Goodbye, Nintendo Power. Thank you for some great gaming moments.

Cool! The site looks like it could be a TWEWY announcement, down to the background and fonts. SInceTWEWY was my favorite DS game, I am hyped as heck for this announcement!

And Geonjaha, YOU LIE!!!

Kirby Canvas Curse and Meteos would work perfectly on the Wii U.

Wario Land II and a Fluidity Sequel? Awesome. I'm also looking forward to the Paper Mario: Sticker Star launch in November.

Bummer... And I was looking forward to more ghost-busting. At least Paper Mario: Sticker Star is coming this year!

@grumblegrumble: Yes, it is! Last month, Nintendo confirmed that New Art Academy will be launching in the US later this year. I'm probably not going to get it, seeing as how I've recently downloaded Colors! 3D (thank you, weekand deal!).

I've been tempted to download Colors! 3D for quite some time now, but now that there's a sale, I don't really have an excuse anymore. This, along with Mole Mania and Wario Land add up to an amazing week of downloads!

That's a great idea! I'll stick to retail, though. The box art is great and something tells me that the game will take up a lot of room on my SD card (I need to upgrade it).

While these prizes aren't as amazing as 2010's Mario statue, I'm still looking forward to receiving my Mario playing cards.

Even though I thought E3 was lacking something, I really am looking forward to most of those titles that Reggie mentioned above. He is absolutely right about gamers; they can never be pleased.

I went ape for Mutant Mudds, so maybe I'll go bananas for Bomb Monkey!
(You wanted monkey puns, right?)

I would expect to pay at least $300 for the console. I would also expect it to come with one GamePad, a Sensor Bar (if necessary), a GamePad charger, and Nintendo Land.

Other than the silly name, this looks like a thrilling game!
I LIKE FRENCH FOOD

D'OH HO, YOU MISSED THAT ONE. TRY ANOTHER.

I wasn't expecting to see the Game Boy Kirby games in this collection, let alone six great games. Even though I already own Dream Land, Adventure, and Super Star (the DS remake), plus a copy of Dream Land 2 that barely works, I'll get this collection. I'm glad I didn't get the Club Nintendo Kirby Super Star!

Trine 2 is drool-worthy! Also, someone on the New Super Mario Bros. U team must really love Van Gogh.

More Wii VC? Surprising and amazing.

I'm not sure if I can wait 30 minutes for a response, especially if I post something about a game that I'm REALLY stuck in. Plus, I'm sure there will be hackers who will manage to sneak in "unacceptable" language and pictures.

Before today, I thought that Scribblenauts and Wii U would be a perfect match. Apparently, I thought right. My first creation will be a cheeseburger with wheels and a motor. I shall name it "Fast Food."

As a fan of the Paper Mario series, I will no-doubt purchase Sticker Star, even if I don't really like the subtitle. I can't wait to read the game's dialogue. It should be a hoot.

I like the subtitle, "Dark Moon." It gives Luigi a certain edge that his bro. can't quite match. The new footage looks great, also. Is it me, or does the dog ghost resemble Zero from The Nightmare Before Christmas?

I'm pretty sure this will be bundled with the console. Either way, Nintendo Land has peaked my interest, mostly because it has made two dreams of mine a reality; both a Nintendo-based theme park AND a theme park that I won't have to wait in a line for! (Granted, a real Nintendo theme park would have been better, but this will have to do...)

I'm liking how the GamePad will be used in Arkham City. By the looks of it, it makes the player really feel like he is in control of Batman's utility belt.

Mario is just like silence; he is golden.

Launch day, you say? Wa-hoo! This gave looks like it will be better than New Super Mario Bros. Wii. The stages look much more creative, plus Giant Land (or something very similar) is back! The baby Yoshis give the game a Galaxy/World vibe, too. Can't wait!

I'm digging the game's four-person strategy feature like a bunch of White Pikmin near hidden treasure! Speaking of White Pikmin, I wonder if they, along with the Purple Pikmin, will make a return. Even if they don't this is still a must-have for me.

Masahiro Sakurai on the Kid Icarus series: "I'M FINISHED!"

@Nin-freak
In Mario Power Tennis' single-player Tournament Mode, players couldn't turn Power Shots off. In order to unlock more content in the game, players had to play through the Tournament Mode. I don't hate Power Shots, yet I'm not their biggest fan.

Mario Tennis is the reason why I love to play tennis (casually). It's nice to see the series back away from the Power Shots while still offering fun new modes and Mii customization. The RPG mode will be missed, but on the plus side, I won't have to worry about taking forever to give my characters the experience points I have earned (that took forever!).

Good old Mario... I feel like this is the Super Mario Renaissance, too, mostly because the famed plumber is going on more real adventures these days than drifting off into spin-off territory (and even then, most of those spin-offs were well-crafted).

I like that the ink-spewing Piranha Plants from Super Mario 3D Land and a Super Mario Galaxy-inspired mode are included in this game. I'll definately consider purchasing this game.

I love a good hand-drawn game. If the 3D effect is like that of Mighty Switch Force!, then this will be another great example of hand-drawn 3D done right on N3DS. I'm looking forward to this title.
By the way, Pete should be careful. Bowser might sue him for stealing his Thwomp idea.

That makes me wonder what will happen to the "Website for Celebrating Mario." http://www.nintendo.com/sites/mario/

I kind of figured that players wouldn't have to sing along. Still, call me crazy, but I'm actually looking forward to the songs. Most of the songs in animated Disney movies are fantastic, and knowing how big a Disney fan Warren Spector is, the songs in the game should be excellent.

I agree! Kid Icarus: Uprising is fantastic. I knew that it was going to be great, but I never realized that it would become my personal favorite N3DS game so far. It's a perfect blend of quality and quantity, much like Super Smash Bros. Melee and Brawl. A fantastic game.

A PYRAMID DRAWS NEAR!

I wonder if Mickey will be able to bounce on Scrooge's cane as a power-up...

Non-laggy online? Thank you, Sakurai-San! Looking forward to Friday!

Peggle beat Mario? Zelda didn't win anything? Bummer. At least Rayman Origins got something.

Sweet! I especially like how the Link costume resembles the style introduced in Skyward Sword.

I like the way this guy thinks. The Cape Feather was a fantastic power-up in Super Mario World and should make a return in a future game.

LordOtaku will be jealous of Japan for this. :E

Great job, however I can't help but feel that it got a perfect score because Masahiro Sakurai writes for Famitsu (does he still do that?).
~Haha, not really. This game is gonna rock!~

Not for me. If I am craving Mad Dog McCree, I will watch Taco-Man's review of it instead of downloading it.

If not the Pikmin, how about Olimar? He is short and squat like Mario. Plus, if you mix up his name and take out the "l," it spells "Mario."
