@Banjogeek Oh come on! Someone on the internet saying "someone told me that someone told them" isn't proof. It's like believing something you hear in a pub that begins with the word "Apparently..." And as Linkstrikesback said, Big is in Sonic Racing Transformed.

@banjogeek Says who?

Old and new characters are welcome as long as its just in cutscenes or cameos. Would be good to see Bean, Bark, Mighty, Ray and Nack make a return.

@grenworthshero You and I clearly have a different definition of "fun." Generic, bland, poorly-designed games involving a grinning orange clown who you want to smack in the face isn't fun to me. He's not been in a single good game so really can't understand why you'd want him in Smash, especially when you yourself only seemed to like one game of his.

@grenworthshero Nothing involving that grinning orange tit has ever been better than dire. Keep him the hell away from any game ever made by Nintendo. Or by anyone.

@Bluezealand NOTW was effectively Sunday's Sun, with staff working on both papers and run by the same person. The Sun were also phone hacking so are also responsible.

The same paper that called the 3DS terrible before its release and had stories about how it was destroying people's eyesight with the 3D effect? Not to mention all the other lies they have told in their past - Justice For the 96! - and present. I wouldn't believe a single word in that poopiedoodle rag and, quite frankly, anyone who even touches a copy.

@Einherjar and @AltDotNerd - I still find it staggering that people online read something yet only take two or three words in and then speak about it like they've understood it fully. Just moronic. The competition is to design a mascot for Sega Raw, a new website, not to replace Sonic as Sega's mascot. How about you try reading the whole article next time, hey?

I keep hoping in each new Smash game that we get a stage not only using the original Starfox's Corneria music but the while graphic style for the entire stage. The Starfox's levels have always been a bit bland (where can we put the Great Fox this time?) so something unique like that would be awesome. Well I think so anyway.

@Stuffgamer1 You need to man up and watch it again.

I've never understood why GX is praised so highly over X and as the pinnacle of the series. Yes it's (still) beautiful and yes it's blisteringly fast but it lacks the feel of the original and N64 classic. It's too loose in control, the music unmemorable (compared to the first two) and the tracks just a little - whisper it - boring. Don't get me wrong it's a good game but its nothing compared to X which is still the best racing game ever made. If the series comes back I hope they look at the N64 as a starting point and not the Cube. Plus we need Death Race back! And a version of the next Mario Kart's Rainbow Road! And the track and vehicle editor!

Oh and how anyone could favour wipEout I do not know. Good games but they get real boring if you play longer than an hour whereas the three console F-Zero titles you can play endlessly.

@SteveW Except lacking Trine's fun.

@erv Your system is absolute nonsense. So if a site hasn't liked quirky games that you personally like then they're disregarded by you? Who do you think you are? The Queen? So pretentious. Some people don't like all sorts of games so could score it low whereas some people would think its amazing. GTA4 was praised universally while I think it's possibly the worst game I've ever played, so should I ignore all the sites that rated it highly? Of course not. That would be stupid.

As I said on PushSquare during their article on this I do wish review scores would just disappear. They cheapen the review and are absolutely worthless. Almost everyone now is obsessed with what score it got on site X or magazine Y and what it's MetaCritic score is. It's pathetic. Edge and GameCentral (the UK's much-missed TeleText magazine) have both in the past come close to dropping scores entirely and I hope a big profile site/mag soon does, causing others to do it too.

@3Dash Why the hell have you stylised A Link To the Past as aLttP? If you really had to do it it would be ALTtP.

@Deathgaze The you, sir, are seriously in need of help. I wouldn't have had a problem if you'd wrote what you did in a different way but you just make yourself sound like a deluded thirteen year old fanboy desperate for a pissing contest.

Dynamite Heady alone was reason enough for the console to be on equal placing with the Super Famicom/SNES.

@Stuffgamer1 The time trial "BS" were optional extras when the game was finished if you wanted to go for 100% and were hard but fun challenges. How you can fault the game for that is, frankly, "BS."

I'm a huge DKC fan, the second game on the SNES is as good as any 2D Mario and Sonic (bar Super Mario World, obviously) and after initially being unsure on DKCR it grew to become my favourite in the series. It's a superb game. Hopefully if it does well on 3DS it will lead to a much deserved sequel.

@Highwinter Nonsense. The game - and a good deal many more - will be coming out for PS3/360 over this year, the next and probably the one after that too. Look at how the Wii U is failing everywhere, do you really think developers, well actually publishers, will want to chance this happening to PS4/720? A lot of big third party games will be on current consoles for the next couple of years because of the massive user bases they have and that with the way the world is at the moment people can't justify spending £350+ on a new console.

@ScreamoPichu I really hope it is. The original was the best game ever made and then the sequel topped it. Who wouldn't want to see them try and top that? But I also hope we get a second, non-Galaxy, Mario game. Greedy? Perhaps. But why not?

The best Zelda game made but with improvements? Will be buying a Wii U the day this is out in the UK.

Don't know whether this site is run by people from the UK, US or anywhere else but let me just remind everyone that here in the UK that The Sun is infamous for constantly reporting inaccurate stories as fact, more so than any other paper on the planet. It's a disgrace to media.

Rather than continuously bigging up his own game he should be working on a way to make the game load quicker than it does (took me seventy-nine seconds to get from 'Press Start' to the menu), make it quicker to restart a race/event rather than the continuous crap going on and options you need to traverse, making sure that after some perfect jumps the boost actually works, that cars don't just lose control for no reason after some jumps and millions of other little niggles that are stopping this game from being great and merely being good.

Oh, and get Ralph and the NASCAR woman the **** out of the game!

@LeVideoGamer - turning 1080 into anything like SSX would destroy the whole game. Just no.

@StephenYap3 - people may disagree but I see Balloon Fight doing well in a manner similar to Jet Pack Joyride. Simple, accessible and highly addictive.

A massive ice world where Mii's in big parka's can climb mountains and do all sorts of platforming in a Journey-sequence world is what I imagine a new Ice Climbers would be like.

If Bayonetta 2 brings a new partnership between Nintendo and Platinum then I'd like them to make either a Zelda/sandbox setting with Bayonetta-style action in a Nazo no Murasame Jō sequel or mix in Metal Gear Rising style action with bike bits on. Mach Rider sequel.

@pinta_vodki It's a good game but "right on par with Mario 64 and Ocarina of Time"? That could be the new definition of the word 'exaggerated.'

Billy Hatcher, Alex Kidd and Ryo Hazuki as they should all have been in the game already.

How about DLC that let's us remove that NASCAR woman and Wreck It Ralph? Neither of them should be anywhere near this game.

I own the game on PS3 and its really good. There are things they could learn for Mario Kart 8 from it but there's things that they - nor anybody - should do like Sumo have: having Wreck It Ralph and that NASCAR driver in it. Having them two in rather than Sega characters is disgusting on Sumo's part and they and Sega should be ashamed of themselves for it.

When the hell is this coming out in the UK? It's been almost three quarters of a year!!

@Chris720 To make EA more monies. Keep up.

Much rather have something unique and quirky like Friend Collection than yet another bland and boring Monster Quest. Realise I'm probably in the minority though.

Oooh? Coin Rush DLC news perhaps? fingers crossed even though it looks like just hints

This Iwata DS game looks incredible.

PLUS(!) it's new Nitendo IP. Had quite a few already with the eShop. Just need Sakura Samurai and that in the UK now

HarmoKnight looks superb! A Pokémon-free Game Freak game at last. Just need a Drill Dozer remake or sequel now

Going to be brutally honest: those two 'girl' games look chuffing awesome! Always up for a bit of rhythm action (especially to J-Pop) and that fashion one looks strangely captivating and is gorgeous visually. As was Iwata being paperised just then.

Shame. Hope it's just in America though. A Hallowe'en release should have been the target for the game worldwide.

5. Super Mario 3D Land
4. Super Mario Galaxy
3. Super Mario World
2. Super Mario 64
1. Super Mario Galaxy 2

SMG2 is, for me, the only game in over sixteen years that has been better than Super Mario 64. No other game has even come close.
