This is really interesting! I was wondering why the game had such a heavy early-mid 1900s theme rather than the usual fantasy-with-medival-elements theme of the Mario series. It almost seemed odd, as there were multiple easy opportunities to link it back to the other games (i.e. using Piranha Plants in the overgrown tower world or 1-Up Mushrooms in place of the golden dog bones). I'm glad I know why now. They did a nice job of creating their own sub series that doesn't feel too burdened by anything else.

Their sense of entitlement is funny

Really makes you think before you speak poorly of someone else's hard work.

It's too bad we'll never get to play Dinosaur Planet as it was originally intended. I'm sure it would have been another RareWare hit.

Nintendo could probably rock the handheld market, should they decide to follow that path (and not get wrecked by mobile platforms).

I just got a convertor for my PS1 Dualshock to USB for PC games. They're great controllers.

It's too bad this didn't get out for day one. By the nature of the limited selection of launch day games, it would have been a real hit with people looking for something to play on their new console.

Strange. I'm assuming it does in fact have to do with copyright claims.

That's really unfortunate. Good beat 'em ups are always awesome multiplayer fun.

Wow.

I'm having a little existentialist crisis right now.

Lets just say I will not be buying the Wii U, or any consumer electronic for a good long time.

The Street Fighter head band lol.

Reminds me of AaAaAa A Reckless Disregard for Gravity

I love Howard's Facebook page.

Oh man, lets hope this is multiplatform.

They should consider Kickstarter if they need the financial support - I know plenty of people would be happy to contribute.

Even better is having a large retro gaming store available from the get-go, as opposed to having to wait several years worth of Mondays for that one game.

Wow I guess I'll be watching an anime.

Love Yokoi and his work. I wrote a paper about him awhile back analyzing his influence on the industry.

I remember enjoying this a lot when I was younger.

PAX is so awesome.

We all loved that game

That's actually a tiny file size for a modern video game.

Banjo-Kazooie?

No new music, or even voice clips?

Odd, I enjoyed this a lot when it came out.

I'd rather have diverse characters than many characters.

They should pull from different franchises before creating four characters from the same series again, and give more unique play styles.

Otherwise known as the inspiration for Amnesia the Dark Descent.

@WaveBoy Gotta agree with you. Mario's design and shape was clearly created with 1940s style Golden Age animation in mind - in fact, I think Miyamoto studied cartooning at one point, right?

Wait, what does this have to do with Mystery Science Theater?

I'm usually just a lurker, but I'd like to thank NL for all it's done. I'm excited for another year of the very best in videogame coverage.

@4. edhe

Was thinking the same thing.

LOL Asmik's mascot.

I visited Nottingham.

It's not really meant for tourists, is it?

Today the shop, tomorrow the world!

Oh wow, the pinball one was just like Kirby's Pinball Land, down to the Wispy boss battle!

I freakin' love PAX.

PAX East about 40 minute drive from where I live, best weekend of my year.

Question: How does it compare to the iPod/iPhone's Netflix?

@Mariofanatic

It's similar to how the Doctor Who incarnations work. Basically, a new "Link" is born whenever Hyrule needs a hero to saves it's rear.

@Otaku

Nintendo 64 inception o_o

Oh my God Oh my God OH MY GOD

I normally don't login or comment, but PLEASE GABEN AND REGGIE MAKE THIS HAPPEN FOR A FANBOY!

That is all.

I always loved their stuff, particularly the soundscapes!

I was planning a trip to NYC soon, maybe next weekend I'll drive out?

Is this game anything like VVVVVV?

Might we see the light of a PC site one day?

Oh God, great memories with this. I probably have more playtime on this than Team Fortress 2 or Dragon Quest IX.

My friend's sister did the translation for this game. I'm pretty excited to try it out.

This game is so creepy looking.

Don't forget, it's only Kid Icarus as of right now lefties need to worry about, so hopefully it will not become to big of a problem.

My Donkey Kong Game & Watch is still sitting on my nightstand right next to me.

I think the main reason we all get so frustrated at those who pirate is because while the rest of us paid to play, those who bootleg get things easier.
