@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.

Top three most played games of each console for me

NES
Yoshi - 300 minutes
Earthbound - 250 minutes
Super Mario Bros - 100 minutes

GAME BOY
Tetris - 150 minutes
Zelda: Link’s Awakening - 70 minutes
Game & Watch Gallery 3 - 60 minutes

SNES
Super Mario All Stars - 700 minutes
Breath of Fire - 700 minutes
Breath of Fire II - 700 minutes

GENESIS
Phantasy Star IV - 570 minutes
Shining Force II - 280 minutes
Shining Force - 260 minutes

NINTENDO 64
Dr Mario 64 - 900 minutes
Paper Mario - 500 minutes
Zelda: OoT - 240 minutes

GAME BOY ADVANCE
Mario & Luigi - 320 minutes
Zelda: Minish Cap - 140 minutes
Super Mario Advance 4 - 100 minutes

I wouldn’t have minded if both of the games had been on NSO service, but £8.69 for both? No way.

Needs Super Game Boy filter.

Should be passing off the Torchic.

@thefoxystoat the games would look seriously ugly AF if they were stretched to be full screen. This way the proportions of the screen are kept as intended even if there are borders. Some games look better with a small window such as Alone In The Dark.

Maybe now after all these years, Ash can go to school and get an education.

I had this, completed it, then sold it.

Think I’ll buy it again but may wait for a sale.

@victordamazio I want a game added on at least one platform every week. Not one game for every platform every week. They wouldn’t do that even for a hypothetical.

I also want Sega CD and 32X games released alongside regular Genesis games.

@Link506 Fifteen games being dropped at once isn’t exactly drip-feed.

I would want all except Conker. Because that one would never come to NSO.

@Tm080201 Remember Mushroom?

For England, James?

@SoIDecidedTo I’m sure you remember Trump’s Wall, ICE and his “When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. […] They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us.” speech.

Trump’s Wall and ICE appears in the game, while there are NPCs in the game that treat Sean and Daniel terribly just because they are Mexican.

Donald Trump was the main antagonist of this game even though he was never mentioned by name nor made an appearance. The story is based on how Mexicans were treated by Americans during Donald Trump’s presidency.

It’s very politically charged but is also a good story, and you can choose whether you want to be romantically interested in males or females.

The Walking Dead also allows you the option to romance a man or a girl. Just try not to get your love killed though.

@twadebarcelona people dumping Twitter trash all over our clean NintendoLife site just lowers the standards here. I’m here for the games not the trash talk unrelated to the game.

@twadebarcelona Those reasons are external to the content of the game. People are free to criticise the game for content actually found within the game. Bringing in controversial Twitter drama to discuss here should not belong on NintendoLife.

@Untempered-Link Those comments have no relevancy here. NintendoLife has clearly asked everyone to talk only about the content of the actual game and not about what else is going on. NintendoLife is covering this game as it is new and also because it does not contain any controversial content within the game itself.

@nessisonett it was a 90s anime. There’s nothing bizarre about random nudity. Even some kids anime like Sailor Moon had nudity.

@Serpenterror The other companies are publishing their own collections. Plus they seem to be unable to do 3D games.

I’ve been enjoying this far more than Sword/Shield.

Wii U was a good console to me. It served me well. I would have welcomed a Wii U Slim and Wii U Portable upgrade for it, turning it into a Switch-like game pad that you could play away from the console.

Guess I’ll have to buy myself a larger sd card.

How do you think a DS game can be played on the Switch? The touchscreens aren’t the same.

There should be one game every single week. We get about the same but we wait for a few weeks then we get two or three on the same day.

@DaruniaJones1988

“ Plus, Switch Online like everything else will eventually close down and when it does you lose access to games you didn't/couldn't buy.”

You really think there won’t be ways of playing old games on the next Nintendo console?

Nintendo should focus on both the past and the future. They’re not some tiny newcomer who can’t do both simultaneously.

They should add some extra games for free, those that were originally updates of other games if you have paid for those other games. So Street Fighter Zero 2 Alpha for free if you’ve already downloaded Street Fighter Alpha 2. Super Street Fighter II if you’ve already downloaded Super Street Fighter II Turbo.

Come on Mario, let’s go party!

Darun from Fighting EX Layer should be on this list.

Super Mario Sunshine 2

@Strumpan It says

“The most recent entry, 2021’s Oddworld: Soulstorm, came as a reimagined version of 1998’s Abe’s Exoddus on PS1.”

So it’s still a 1998 PS1 game at heart.

Game from the 90s plays like game from the 90s.

What a controversy!

@Munchlax Each NES game would cost £5, each SNES and Genesis game would cost £8 and each N64 game would cost £10.

If you want more than three or four newly added games every year then the expansion pack is worth it.

@PinderSchloss

“She had a dispute and the internet blew it out of proportion.”

I think the internet’s reaction was appropriately proportioned.

@Hajilee

“But do you really think people would buy EVERY game on the service?”

No. I certainly wouldn’t if they were available individually. That’s why I prefer the subscription pass method. I can try out the likes of Tennis and Pinball for ten minutes without feeling like I’ve wasted any money.

@Hajilee It would be much much more expensive if they were available individually. I get all the games on the service for £35 a year whereas the N64 games would cost £10 a game, the SNES and Genesis games would cost £8 each and NES games would cost £5.

It’s just not worth it for them to be available individually.

There ain’t no party like a Mario Party!

Beneath The Mask should be on the list, but also should Last Surprise.

Wasn’t going to buy it anyway even if she was in the game and paid well.

But I won’t let such a request from someone in a similar situation dissuade me from buying a game I do want to play.

BrickTales Woo-oo!

The 35th anniversary logo has the least effort put into it
