@Don presumably the Virtual Console didn’t do so well on Wii U hence why Nintendo had to change tactics. There are several retro compilations on Switch for those not subscribers to NSO.

@ComfyAko Capitalism is how and why games get made, yes.

SPOILERS

The game shows the second time that Ray asked Sissel to help him. The first time Sissel turns him down and goes off on his own. We don't see the consequences of this.

What happened after turning Ray down? What does he do? Who does he meet?

The ending is pretty neatly wrapped up. So a direct continuation of the story after the ending isn’t really possible.

You neglected to include the Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance versions of Donkey Kong Country. They had different box-art images.

TotK fixed all the issues I had with BotW including minor stuff like menu navigation. I can’t go back to BotW anymore now.

What was the deal with the listed upcoming games if they were going to release a whole other bunch of games not listed? The press release made it sound like that only the listed games would be released rather than only being a few of the upcoming games.

@romanista

“harvest moon is sort of curious since the new gaems can't have that name anymore (now story of seasons)”

There is a new Harvest Moon this year that has the Harvest Moon name.

Mystery Tower may be a simple game but what is noteworthy is that the title has been translated in the game. Which means they can go into an edit a game’s graphics.

Remember when Link fused an arrow to a Rupee every time he used it?

@Andee They simply weren’t releasing the games in order of their original release. Presumably SMB3 was released last due to the e-card reader feature they were developing for it.

Other than that, it's pretty similar to the All-stars version of Super Mario Bros 2 on SNES

No it’s not. Play SMA1 and find out. They added a bunch of new stuff that makes it worth playing. Of course it wasn’t going to be completely new but neither is it a straight port of the All*Stars version.

Being able to play SNES games on GBA was quite special back in the day. Even straight ports.

@DaniPooo If you actually have play SMA1, you would not have posted such an obvious factually incorrect comment. There are major changes to SMA1 right from the start, which you say to the best of your knowledge it doesn’t have.

@DaniPooo You’ve not actually played Super Mario Advance 1, have you?

These videos need the Danganronpa execution music being played.

@ricklongo That’s all the review I need to read.

Years ago I wanted a remake of Zelda 1 reusing Minish Cap graphics. It would bring life to a generic looking NES games with a variety of visually different locations making up the same areas of the NES game. Link starts out on a village for example with the ”mountains” being replaced by buildings and blocks in that area replaced by people.

@HeeHo Arin does other things than YouTube. Voice actors can do things unrelated to voice acting in their career.

@samuelvictor Which reminds me, I still haven’t watched Magical Talruto-kun. I first read about the show when Super Play magazine did a feature on SNES games based on anime thirty years ago.

@Sinton one game every month would be far less than what we are currently getting. Unless you mean one game every week then yes i agree.

Did they alter E. Honda’s stage to remove the “racially insensitive” imagery? And alter Guile’s stage to remove the Air Force logo? They did for other modern releases of SFII.

Super Princess Peach.

It bothered me that the hero in DQXI was silent. There would be a huge emotional reveal for the hero and he would just stand there emotionless saying nothing in response.

@1UP_MARIO Silent black and white movies worked great too until technology moved on to allow for talking movies in color.

We can’t limit progress in modern games to stay true to what the NES was incapable of back in 1987 when the series started.

Needs a further qualifier. It shouldn’t be

“Should Link have voice acting?”

but

“Should Link have good voice acting?”

@Maxz Also bridge jumper.

Speed would be a whole different movie if it was set in London and had the Queen driving the bus.

@Scapetti I think I’ll have more enjoyment and play time from the Final Fantasy bundle than the new Zelda. I’m going to buy a “two games for £84” voucher on the eshop and get the new Zelda and Fire Emblem Engage with it.

@Scapetti I do too. I get to play games I wouldn’t buy if they were sold individually. And it actually costs less to pay for NSO for a few years than to buy all the games you want if they were available individually.

@Scapetti hey people complain that they don’t want to rent NSO games and demand they be sold individually. And so Square said “okay, now you can buy these old games without subscribing”, and then people complained that they are too expensive being sold individually…

@Captain_Toad That’s not what she said.

Papa Mario and Grandpa Mario had the most to do of the Mario family. Mama Mario and Uncle Mario didn’t really do anything. Grandpa Mario was only memorable for me as he kept trying to eat but couldn’t. And I forget who else was there.

@andyg1412 I knew there would be all kinds of articles, threads and discussion for it so I made sure to watch it day one. The Mario Movie is one of those things where if you don’t want to be spoiled, you have to stay off the internet until you’ve watched it.

@Tempestryke How would you know if you’ve only ever brought two?

@Olmectron The cameos and references were part of the fun for me.

Worst point for me was that the music is way too loud in places.

Voices were okay. Storyline was okay. Action and CGI was good. Loved the references… but no Wario? Not one reference or cameo in the entire movie. The kid who bullies baby Luigi should have been baby Wario but it wasn’t. And only the briefest of Yoshi cameos.

@mrMike it’s become common that female heroes in movies don’t get stronger, they just “lower the difficulty setting” of the male characters around them. They’re playing on easy mode so they can win instead of fighting and overcoming a difficult opponent. And that’s just an insult towards female characters in movies. Tearing others down to win instead of becoming stronger yourself is not empowering.

@Slinkoy1 She had personality in the old comic books and cartoons where she was a likeable character, on equal ground to Mario. Whereas here she seems to have a toxic superiority complex to show up Mario as being the dumb male.

@dluxxx it’s on sale now

Cassette Beasts, eject! Operation: Nintendo!

@Zelda_01 No sorry. Peach is Peach. She’s not Samus. She’s not Lara Croft. She’s not Bayonetta. I don’t want her turned into something she’s not. Part of having diversity is that there is a variety of different character traits, yes even for the same gender. The “strong independent woman who don’t need no man” trope works for some characters but not everyone. Peach’s strengths lie in her kindness, gentleness, compassion, intelligence and being respectful. She is not one to bark orders and charge into battle spear in hand. Diversity includes such character traits as being valid. Or do you want to pretend that such positive traits are a unbecoming of a female character. Not every woman has to be physically strong to have strength. Peach is one such woman.

Adventure Bar Story is a good small rpg.

You go around fighting monsters and exploring new areas to find ingredients to make food to sell in your restaurant so you can buy more food which you can eat to get stronger enabling you to fight stronger monsters and explore even further.

I like this one. Sure it’s nothing big or special but it has its own nostalgic charm that’s worth experiencing

@Uncle_Franklin “With Nintendo apparently able to release Tetris on the Game Boy, there is no excuse not to release Tetris Attack on the SNES.”

The Tetris Company really do not like the Tetris name being used on games that do not have anything to do with the actual Tetris and deeply regret having allowed Nintendo to use the Tetris name for Tetris Attack.

@dazzleshell Also, Peach shows herself to be much more competent than Mario

@twadebarcelona Still Twitter trash to me. I can only imagine the garbage fire the comments section will be when the game is released on Switch. And the phrases and arguments that will be used will have come from Twitter.

And the army of hate is coming from those who bully twitch streamers into not playing the game. That is the army of hate we good people must rise up against and strike down.

@SirCarbs

“ My dude, there’s a lot of projection & insecurity in that comment. You okay?”

No, I’m not okay with modern day Hollywood literally pooping on our childhood legacy heroes. This is what they do, and now regularly do. So yes adults are pretty insecure that their childhood heroes will be pooped on whenever they announce a new movie or tv show. Hollywood, Disney, Netflix, Amazon, Warner Bros etc has zero respect towards keeping the spirit of the original series.

Right now the movie could go either way. I think it’s fair to say that many fans of Mario from the 80s and 90s are still fans today, and we want 80s and 90s Mario to be respected. And no, that does not mean that Peach should be a weak fragile demure shell of a woman. She was good in the 90s cartoons.

Peach doesn’t need to hold a weapon. Mario serves as her sword and shield.

@Purgatorium so end of 1990s Mario movie Daisy?

@steely_pete Princess Toadstool in the Super Mario 3 and Super Mario World cartoons was a good character with likeable positive traits.

I don’t want her to become some stuck-up B who humiliates Mario in the movie just because she thinks she is superior to him on account of her being a woman.

They’re friends. They’re equals. She’s a kind caring, polite and understanding capable woman without an ounce of aggression in her. If they don’t capture that element of her personality then they don’t understand how to write her.

Only one game though? They can do better than that.

@echoplex Not really. Alone In The Dark is well known for pushing the capabilities of what the Game Boy Color could handle. It would have been chosen for that reason alone. I do think it would have looked better on an actual Game Boy Color in 2001. There was something special about the GBC when I brought it at launch.
