@GrailUK Right! To me, Mario had that Brooklyn-Italian accent like he did in the cartoons - not actually Italian. It was jarring to hear his first in-game voice and it was like that. Not that I dislike it - I love it and Charles - but it was a different and new take compared to what we knew before.

For the record, the first voice of Mario was Peter "Optimus Prime" Cullen in the Donkey Kong portions of the Saturday Supercade cartoon in 1983!

This is cool - I was able to get them. I hardly use points for anything so this was a good opportunity.

He didn't really say enough to really judge it - I'll wait until I hear more to decide, but I think it's likely fine.

I'm late to the party, but it looks good to me!

@Nickinator Yeah, this is nowhere near as horrifying as Sonic was - it's just a flat butt. That said, we haven't seen his face yet!

It's hard not to say the original is it lays the groundwork for literally everything Zelda, however the "formula" really solidifies in A Link to the Past, so definitely one of those two. I jsut replayed A Link to the Past again and it never ceases to amaze - it's an absolute classic (though Zelda on NES is as well).

I would love for it to come back big, but I'm not entirely sure it will. I guess we'll have to see.

I really don't get how the collection can't be number one - it has most of the otehr games on it! Theoretically it shouldn't count at all - but it's on the list so....

I am a big SuperC guy as I love the NES outings but the second improves on the original. It's hard to really discount Contra III the Alien Wars as an amazing game though.

I love the current style Mickey cartoons, so this looks promising.

@Abes3 Nintendo has always known how to get the most out of their hardware, though there was a time when the third parties would step-up and also put out some top of the line stuff. Now most of them just want to make lazy ports. Cross-platform games can never fully leverage one specific hardware's strengths, which is why first-party titles always seem to be the best.

Sounds like more of the same, but with Splatoon, the same is great! I didn't play Splatoon 2 as much as I did the first one - just too many other things going on, but I still think this will be worthwhile, though I may clear my deck a little before buying it.

SNES, baby - but I never owned it until much later. I rented it many times though, but since my mom worked at Blockbuster it was free! I first owned MK64, and it was actually the old demo copy from the same store - it says "Not for Resale" on it. That's okay, I didn't buy it nor sell it!

@eltomo Yeah, I LOVE Goemon! Mystical Ninja 64 is one of my all-time favorites. Still, I'd like to see Konami come back with anything - all of their old franchises are good.

The demo was definitely quite enthralling. I may grab this at some point when my queue has dwindled a little.

This is one of the best games on Switch! I hope they are planning a sequel.

I got in a few regular battles, and it's as fun as ever! I like the new starting system where you can aim at a landing spot. I did not play the Tri-Color Turf War mode and didn't even know about it.

Sounds like a great package, but it's a little pricey for me considering that I actually have a lot of these on the original cartridges. The arcade perfect ports are the main draw for me, as well as the Game Boy games, since I don't have those, but I will wait for a sale. I am glad to see though that they put a lot of extras, etc. into this and it really looks fantastic!

Statement about the RCP90 is accurate and unquestionable. It's my favorite gun in the game!

I'd say 64 is the best - Bluestorm just didn't quite have the same verve - it's still good though. The GB game is also actually pretty good - glad you included it!

It is certainly stylish - very pretty! I'll be keeping an eye on it for sure.

Wave Race really is a great game and holds up well - many games of this era don't. The water was absolutely mind-blowing at the time! To me, Bluestorm was never quite as good. I'd love to see a new entry in this series.

@Sinton I've cheated it with a Game Genie, but yeah, it get's pretty crazy in there. I actually only got there legit once as usually the Technodrome Boss fight in level 5 does me in! If I spend the time and just load up on scrolls for every turtle, I can do the job.

@Sinton It's just hard to people who weren't there - if you pick it up cold today it's frustrating. Me, I can do the underwater level without taking a hit! Seriously. Usually though I just power through it for the sake of speed and load up on pizza in the next stage. Actually though, I nver beat the game either - the last leve just always got me - and I put in some hours on that game for sure.

I do hate when popular Internet thought becomes the assumed de facto position of all fans though - super annoying. That's why I prefer positive content over negative stuff that just tears down stuff.

No TMNT Tournament Fighters for Gneesis/Mega Drive? That is a unique game too.

I rated the ones I could, and while I will always love the original NES games, honestly, Shredder's Revenge is just about perfect - a real labor of love!

I do wonder if this is really intentional, but hey, that's fine if it is. I just worry people are jumping the gun.

Also, as to Birdo, aren't there many Birdos like there are Yoshis? It's a species, not a single individual. I think the main one that they use now in like Mario Party is a female, but there are others.

I go back far enough that it wasn't common knowledge that Samus was a woman. I hadn't finished teh game when the Justin Bailey code blew that wide open. It was fun to play around with that code though as it enabled me to get further into the game and learn more about it.

That looks AWESOME! I love how the planes move like they are on strings. Total cheesey fun!

I love how there were three versions of TMNT Tournament Fighters and that they are all completely different games other than being 1-on-1 fighting games. It allowed each version to play to the platform's strengths. That said, the SNES version is probably the best one, so it makes sense that it gets the online play.

Sounds cool to me - I'll check it out!

@sanderev I didn't mention characters.

Yeah, Waluigi Pinball is a really fun one! I like how they are including some new courses too - the Ninja Hideaway track from the first wave is one of the best MK tracks ever! I hope Skyhigh Sundae lives up to that.

Gee...I don't love Castlevania at all....

I'd give a Metroid series a look though.

@veesonic I appreciate short games too, but the price should be commensurate. I may still give this a look when it's on sale though - it sounds pretty cool. I also love me a really insane storyline!

@Strictlystyles Yeah, but in the US release they did something weird with the video output - it was RF only - and it generates weird noise lines in the display. Now, if you have a Japanese A/V Famicom with the composite output or a modded unit, they are wonderful!

@Member_the_game That's exactly how I feel too. There are plenty of other games that offer that kind of experience, but Mario Kart is all about the items and the ensuing chaos! I really feel that way about Smash Bros. too.

In my earliest memories we already had an Atari 2600 and several games. The ones I remember most from very early on are Pac-Man and Combat.

The thing about adapting video games is that narratively movies/television are so different than video games that it is inevitable that changes need to be made. Video games tell a story through player action - they have to be interactive. It is hard to adapt that to a linear medium.

That said, that doesn't make this or any other adaptation any good. More often than not they fail, because of the above among other things. Honestly, I'm not sure why they try. If I want to experience Resident Evil, well, I can play them!

Well deserved! This game just oozed love for the Turtles and was so much fun to play.

I love how comprehensive this set is! Tossing in the Game Boy games and all three Tournament Fighters games (they are all very different) really makes this worthwhile, plus it will be great to have the arcade authentic originals too.

Hotel Mario isn't like the worst game ever made and the animated scenes were very similar to the Mario cartoons at the time. It's a pretty basic puzzle platformer though, nothing special. It's not nearly as notoriously bad as those CD-i Zelda games!

Nearly all of the cartoons cited are 80's cartoons, not 90's. Only Gargoyles and The Tick are actually 90's cartoons. All of those cartoons are awesome though, so that's great!

@Andy77mk Now, that I think is accurate. If they release them seperately, most likely the first one will sell well, but 2 will sell less, and then 3 even less than that. That's the tricky part is assessing the value of the series as a whole.

@chapu2006 Well, but, what's the difference in this and the HD ports of old Zelda games? It's a full game, remastered and usually with some decent enhancements. Not everyone will want to pay "full price" for them, but many will. Why shouldn't Nintendo charge what they can get for them? I'm not saying I would be happy about it, but I get it. They aren't under any obligation to sell them at a value price.

@chapu2006 Yeah, I was hoping for a Trilogy package. It could depend on how extensive the remastering is though if it's worth it or not.

@Bobb I agree. A camera doesn't have to be electronic, but a theremin does. The type of sounds it makes wouldn't really fit either. It might work in Breath of the Wild, but not for Wind Waker.

I will say that for those who don't quite these types of games, they are much more fun with other players in co-op. They are like beat-em-ups really, and I pretty much exclusively play these with a buddy of mine, and we have a ton of fun together.

Obviously these games are very polarizing, but for me I find them quite enjoyable. I'm looking forward to this one!

@Waka_the_Prophet Yeah, I mena he EATS otehr beings and takes their power! There is no indication that they are okay after this process. I know platformer video games tend to skirt the issue of death, but they did use the term "slaughtered" which is not the best choice.

Niiice tagline!
