This doesn't use upgraded DS visuals, it just copies the Wii games backgrounds. The Wii and DS games had the same world themes, but the backgrounds were completely different.

Retro > Rare

Confirmed! If you die as Adult Link in Ocarina of time 3D, the game over screen appears. Wait for about 3 hours, and a cut-seen will play that sets the events for A Link To the Past. It all makes sense!

Don't you all see?
It's a metaphor that is so deep that it produces a meaning which makes itself irrelevant and then you realize you are very small and life flows on within you and without you.

If you enable only one item, the lucky 7 still shows up, giving you 7 of that item. The iwata asks interview shows a video of this being done with bananas. Honestly, the way the game could change by doing this is enough to make this version of the game play different than its predecessors. So critics that hate this game for being "more of the same" (looking at you, destructoid, 5/10) can kindly shut up.

Forget turning blue shells off, how about a game with BLUE SHELLS AS THE ONLY ITEM! The goal of the race is to get in first, but the first place kart always gets hit and knocked back into 2nd or 3rd. Suddenly, Mario Kart becomes a mental game of wits! Racing becomes irrelevant, the main focus is now to figure out how many item boxes are on the course, when each player will get an item, and how long it takes a blue shell from that player to hit the person in first place. Don't forget the lucky 7, in which a player gets 7 blue shells! ...

Yeah, Nintendo should have given us the option of turning those things off.

Having never played a sonic game before, I was hoping this would be a good introduction to the series. I guess not. Could someone tell me what would be the best game to start with?

Do you truly plan to review the game before the 18th? I presume this means no eating, no sleeping, just Zelda. Well, at least you're getting constant exercise!

Greatest hits, eh? It works with music, might as well work for a video game.

That Peach car does seem to have some very shoe-ish qualities...

London Life is hilarious! A tombstone reads "Don't be silly honey, this milk only expired yesterday!"- The last words of a loving husband.

It love how we get a new one of these localized every year, I just finished the Last of Unwound Future's puzzles and plan pick this one up soon.

Symphony fans unite!

3DS sound is too quiet? Really? Does everyone these days listen to freakishly loud music blasted into their ears? Dang kids!

I feel sorry for the people refusing to enjoy this game because it is, GASP, nonlinear. November can't come soon enough!

I know Tetris DS is Amazing and all, but finding a copy these days is next to impossible! I guess I'll just stick to Tetris Party live.

I think I watched the Mario Kart E3 trailer 37 times, I'm hoping these will be worth the investment.

September 14 was also the 2 year anniversary of Mario and Luigi 3. And September 13 was the 26th of Super Mario Bros. Seems like september is the month of the green plumber!

This is what happens when Nintendo listens to third parties. Capcom wants a second analog stick, Nintendo doesn't want a second analog stick, Nintendo is told they need to listen to third parties, Nintendo lets Capcom make a second analog stick. Let's just hope they don't go to far with this..

NES Open Tournament Golf + Monster Hunter for the 3DS. Pixleman must be happy.

I don't really care to much, according to my circulatory, I won't 100 finish IX for another 13 years.

Wow, both Professor Layton and Kirby get a bonus RPG! The question is, which one should I get first?

Isn't this like the conference where they announced Mario and Luigi 3? That game was pretty much the greatest creation ever to hit the DS platform (pixleman disagrees), I would love a 3DS sequel.

@Link
Yoshi's Island is on the Japanese VC, so the Wii can emulate the Super-FX chip.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D
The definitive version of Nintendo's best game.

3D Classics: Urban Champion
The definitive version of Nintendo's worst game.

The 3DS does have variety...

Actually, the Super Nes launched on August 13th, not 19th, in North America. Anyways...
Happy Birthday Super Nintendo Entertainment System!

The graphics look amazing! Star Fox 64 may not be as good a game as Oot, but this remake looks like its has had more effort put in to it.

Just for some perspective, Japan got no new games this week. And I suggest you all wait for the Dsiware reviews before you consider these games to be awfull.

Talking Point: Is all of this Hypothetical discussion really necessary?

I remember when this was first reveled at E3 2009 and we thought this would be coming out in the summer 2010...

THE WAIT IS FINALLY OVER!

You people do realize that if you already have a Wii, this doesn't affect you, right? Based on some of the comments you'd thing Nintendo was going door to door and taking away your Gamecube controllers.

I just like to sit in the shadows playing game and watch gallery, no more debating from me!

Looks like people in Japan don't like free games...

A picture of a cake next to each article would likely boost this website's traffic to numbers far beyond those sales...

It looks like a combination of the F1 and James Bond logos. Kinda random, but I like it.

Still waiting for Minish Cap...

The person that benefits most here is the guy that won a free 3DS in a contest and still gets the 20 free games.

I hope we get Minish Cap and Zero Mission.

I don't know why Yoshi's Island is on there, that game would be better as a 3D classic.

10 free Gameboy Advance Games makes up for the lack of GB VC.

I'm assuming the games will be in 2D? That's fine, as long as I get to play a 3D-ified version of Super Mario Bros eventually.

@master344

I'd prefer a 3D version of Digger Dan first.

I was original intending to get this game, but after seeing the yellow box, I have decided otherwise.

The original came out 2 years after Oot, and most of those 2 years were spent on things like the story and the dungons, things that wouldn't change in the remake. Just bring in Oot 3D's updated graphics and controls and you have the world''s easiest remake.

Well, the Wii Shop channel music is catchy, but that isn't enough to make up for all of WiiWare's flaws.

This looks like it will suprass both TP and Oot in almost every way, and when you consider the quality of those games, that is definetly a good thing.

I'd rather have them say this now than in 2 years when we had all but forgot about the game.

So.. In theory... If I own both a 3DS and Wii U in the year 2015.. I will be able to play every awesome Nintendo Game on every Nintendo console ever made (except Earthbound) through VC and Disc/Game Card? I can't really complain about that.

I'm all in for new IP's, but I hope the 3DS gets one Mii-filled game. I spent a lot of time scanning QR codes, and I want to be able to Torturer, er, play as the Miis I have collected. Oh, and some Pikimin 3 info would be nice. I can't wait to see what he comes up with next!

I'd rather have Xevious and Urban Champion now and The Super Marios and Zeldas later than vice-versa.
