Topic: The Newbie Introductions Thread

Greetings fellows!
Just wanna say you all hello and have a nice playing time! =)

Cheers!

heya guys and gals!
im new here too!
when is reggie going to put mother 3 on switch?
japan has it. this isnt fair.
i dont know if im posting this in the right section but
if anyone wants to trade some games ive got one you may be interested in:

its pretty cool, its tmnt for nes, the label is pretty mint in my opinion judging how old this rare game is.

@ogo79 - Hello and welcome! Not sure if you know this, but everyone has decided that NES games haven’t aged well and Wii is the new retro now. Everything else is just old except for SNES, it’s timeless or something. If you ever go swimming, stay the hell away from the pink seaweed. That stuff is terrible.

Edit - WAIT, Japan has Mother 3?!? Why do they get all the best stuff?!! Totally unfair.

@CactusMan
wanna trade pokemon stuff? circle yes or yes.
@bimmy-lee thanks for the tip! i learned my lesson about eating yellow snow so ill be sure to stay the hell away from pink seaweed.

Yo! I'm the right eye of the God Odin. I got into game collecting about a year ago and I just Joined this forum. I play a lot of ds and 3ds games. I also like strategy games like hoi4. If you know any places to get high quality reproduction cards for GBA and DS please tell me. I'm in high school and I'm broke

before we proceed
i must ask you a question.
do you eat yer peas with yer mashed potatoes?
yer profile says yer at my moms house.
in that case, you have a terrible taste in women.
and yer profile website is balls. com
a real cowboy eats his peas with his mashed potatoes.

Welcome!

I can't say I've heard of anyone purposely collecting bootleg copies of games before. Typically when people buy old/retro physical games it's because they want a genuine copy. If someone's just looking to play the game and don't care about having a genuine copy they usually just go for flash carts, which is a much cheaper method. Personally I advise against supporting bootleg games, since often times they aren't advertised as "reproduction" and are meant to decieve people who want to buy a genuine copy, and causes headaches when they end up floating around on ebay being re-sold by people who may not even be aware their copy is bootleg.

Especially if you're in high school, I'd say just go with flash carts. It's easier, cheaper, and doesn't harm the second hand game market. But that's just my opinion.

no bids yet? come on guys! its ninja turtles. everyone likes ninjas and turtles right? cowabunga. its in great condition knowing how old this holy grail is.
turtle power!
am i posting in the right place?

_maybe

the real question is what stains arent on it

@NintendoByNature
it should be there yesterday

Let's see... I've been here for more than a week already, but hi! I'm Luigi05 and like most people here, I enjoy collecting and playing nintendo classics.

@Sdelintwouters
Hiya. 😀
Hajimemashite.
So you were a new member here.
Pardon for my last comment on certain thread.
My name in here is Anti-Matter (based on DDR X2 boss song since I am a huge fan of Dance Dance Revolution games), my real name is David, from Indonesia. 🇮🇩

@Sdelintwouters Welcome to Nintendo Life I've been on the NL boards for a few years now and I like it - I hope you enjoy your stay. I'm a massive Super Mario fan, but I do like Mega Man quite a bit too! (Other series I like include Legend of Zelda, Metroid, and Sonic the Hedgehog.) I first played the MM series via Mega Man 3 back in 2002 (I was 10 at the time), but it wasn't until I got Mega Man Anniversary Collection when I really started to get into the Blue Bomber. Sorry to hear about your father, by the way.

@Sdelintwouters My dad is literally the same way, he loves the 2D games but doesn't care for the 3D ones. I enjoy both 2D and 3D Mario games personally. I have a younger brother who's really into Pokemon, just as much as I am into Mario, lol.

Yeah, as much as I love Mario, there's just a few games that I don't like, namely Mario is Missing, Paper Mario: Sticker Star, and Mario Kart Tour. MiM was an absolute borefest, PM:SS had this dumb sticker gimmick that limits how many times you can attack enemies, and MKT had some of the worst controls I've ever used in a game.

Yeah, I wasn't a fan of Mega Man & Bass either. That game is insanely hard for all the wrong reasons...I once quit playing it when I was trying to fight that jet boss near the end of the game. The GBA version is even worse due to its smaller screen.

@Sdelintwouters A very informative read, actually. Welcome to the forums! I'm sure you're aware of this already, but they're usually more chill than the main site.

@Sdelintwouters Huh. That explains the game's level design then, it is indeed quite a bit easier as Bass. If only Mega Man had his Rush abilities and energy tanks, at least...most of the MM games have those.

Just throwing this out there, my favorite MM game is Mega Man X - picking a favorite classic series game is a bit hard for me, but I'd probably say it's Mega Man 9.

Hey all my name is Locke. Been a long ole time since I used a forum, but I missed having a place to hang out. Reddit never feels quite as personal, you know?

About me - I'll try to keep it brief. I didn't grow up with Nintendo in quite the same way others my age did but the Gameboy (and every iteration of it) formed a pretty big part of my gaming growing up years - mostly thanks to Pokemon. I have never owned a NES/SNES or an N64. My Dad's partner owned a Gamecube and then years later picked up a Wii (as did my Sister), so I did play around on some games but as they weren't my own, I don't have a huge memory of anything really other than Mario Sunshine and Wii Sports.

When I was bit older, I did pick myself up one of the DS iterations mostly again for Pokemon but haven't really been in the Nintendo loop for a long time. I picked up a Switch for Monster Hunter Rise (I know a PC release is coming but I am impatient) and have also taken this as an opportunity to check out some things I missed out on over the years. In the process of doing that, I discovered Nintendo Life's YouTube channel and really enjoyed the content and have sort of branched out from there.

So yeah, kinda rambled longer than intended. Sorry.
