I never played Epic Mickey on Wii back in the day, so I'm excited to finally play it now.

I'll wait for the inevitable physical release, but this was definitely a nice shadow drop for those who prefer digital.

The classic Star Wars Battlefront II with Heroes and Villains on more maps than just Mos Eisley is a dream come true.

I have low expectations for this Direct. It really does look like Nintendo will ride this year out on mostly remakes.

Sure, Friday nights are amazing, but Saturday is a full day off without a work day the next day.

Oh well. GG Team Friday.

The DKC games are all some of the best platformers ever made.

I wasn't expecting roguelike elements in Splatoon.

DKC Tropical Freeze is Nintendo's best non-Mario platformer. Thank you for creating such a gem, Retro.

I'm still perplexed that we never got a SNES Remix. I wish this series continued.

I read the Ocarina of Time manga, and I really enjoyed it. I'll definitely pick up this Twilight Princess box set.

Thank you for the free concert, Nintendo.

Super Mario All-Stars, the Mario Advance series, the Pokémon Gen 1-3 remakes, Metroid Zero Mission and Samus Returns, the Zelda remakes, and Fire Emblem Echoes Shadows of Valentia are the high points of Nintendo's remakes for me.

Damn, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has sold as many copies as the NES sold consoles.

@MontyCircus Completely true, but they should take advantage of at least consistently being competitive in North America.

Oh, man, the Switch is closing in on the PS2 and DS. It's about time the PS2 was dethroned by a system that people actually used for gaming, not just a cheap DVD player.

Portable gaming is king in Japan. Congrats to the Switch.

I really don't think that Xbox should go third party. Yes, Playstation is outselling them 2:1, but they still have an audience of 50 million that they can reach as evidenced by the Xbox One reaching those numbers even after its disastrous start.

Fire Emblem Echoes Shadows of Valentia is a fantastic modernization of the second Fire Emblem, and it also added full voice acting for the first time in the franchise.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver are up there for me as well for having so much content and quality of life changes.

It is so nice to see how much of a renaissance Metroid has had in recent years.

Nintendo's follow-up systems are never as big of a success as the original, but if the Switch 2 can only have around a 16-17% drop in sales like the SNES compared to the NES, I think Nintendo will consider it a major success especially since software is likely to be priced at $70 making up for lost revenue.

@Classic603 Yes, Legacy of Goku 2 and Buu's Fury are two of the finest Dragon Ball games ever made.

I have the original physical 3DS release from way back when, but this is a cool final 3DS release from Limited Run.

Metroid Prime 4 is a reminder to never announce games before they're in at least a playable format.

I've been recording some Super Mario Maker 1. I want to preserve at least a portion of this game for people to look back on in the future although I can't come anywhere near the greatness of Nintendo Thumb who's been doing so for years.

April 8th truly is the end of an era.

The transformations remind me so much of a Kirby game.

Smash 64 is the worst one because there is barely any content and side specials didn't exist yet.

Smash 3DS is underrated. Smash Run is such a good mode.

I was hoping Sea of Stars would get a physical release. I'm definitely picking it up.

It was a great presentation. The Super Mario Odyssey and Breath of the Wild trailers are still some of Nintendo's best trailers ever.

Some of the best RPGs ever made. Bring back Golden Sun, Nintendo!

A Switch 2 rumor a day keeps the doctor away.

Sounds like a banger to start off 2024. I'll be picking this up.

I still remember my first time playing OoT 3D. It's hard to believe it's been over 12 years ago.

I'm not seeing Sea of Thieves on the current Switch but maybe the next system.

Hi-Fi Rush is the best first party Xbox game this generation. I'd love to see it on Switch.

This is one of my most anticipated games of the year. I love the artstyle and animations. Reminds me of modern 2D Metroid.

I wish Yoshi and Nabbit weren't relegated to easy mode characters. Hopefully we'll see them as regular characters one day.

I don't think so. This year is already light on brand new first party Switch games with Princess Peach Showtime being the only one that comes to mind. It's time for the successor.

Managed to snag some Metroid Prime Remastered icons I missed out on the other day.

I don't understand this argument. Some people can play other people's creations without making their own.

End of an era. I love the modern Nintendo Directs, but I miss the presentations of old. Also, Summer Games Fest is so much worse and feels bloated by comparison.

That's a shame that Arkham Knight runs like crap. But it's the worst of the three so it's not the biggest loss.

Sega just dropped the biggest bombshell of The Game Awards.

This was completely unexpected.

This makes me want a Wario and Waluigi platformer more than ever. Make it happen, Nintendo!

This is one of my most anticipated games of 2024. I love 3D platformers.

I would like to see more tracks that change with every lap like the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe version of Kalimari Desert.

I also want the return of mission mode and last man standing balloon battle.

Three words: Super Mario Maker.

All 160 amiibo costumes in the SMB1 style and 100 man Mario means I never stopped playing the original. 2 has more features but 1 is more full of personality.

Shout-outs to Smash Wii U and Splatoon 1 for being very fun too.

Epona's Song, Song of Storms, Zelda's Lullaby, and Saria's Song are my favorites.

A Link Between Worlds is my favorite 2D Zelda game. The wall merging mechanic adds a lot of depth to the gameplay. I also really like the new dungeon designs. The Tower of Hera, Dark Palace, Skull Woods, Thieves Town, and the Ice Palace especially stand out. And Yuga is a fabulous villain.

I think Ocarina of Time 3D added all of the necessary quality of life fixes, and I'd be fine with it being ported in HD.
