I rarely like white electronics. The Sega Dreamcast snd the PSOne are probably the only white consoles I've liked.

Nintendo will absolutely dominate E3 this year! I live an hour and a half from Los Angeles. Sadly, I have to work and I also don't have a working car at the moment. Agh! Still, I'm excited as hell for E3, especially for the Nintendo-related events and unveilings.

I'm pretty damned sure that II Piantissimo from Super Mario Sunshine is dark-skinned. Anyway, what's with all the Nintendo bashing this year? It's never-ending...

I just realized that Wendy Koopa is the Smurfette of the Koopalings.

I love all these new racers, but I would have loved to race as Professor E. Gadd from Luigi's Mansion. Or II Piantissimo from Super Mario Sunshine. Some more obscure characters, you know? Oh well. Maybe next time. Still hyped as hell for Mario Kart 8!

Awesome. This is a great way to use smartphones/tablets to benefit them, without having to compromise the integrity of their IP's.

The original was wacky as hell. Hopefully this new one has great gameplay, while retaining the original's quirkiness. Shaq rules! I watched Kazaam so much when it was released. Another completely nuts thing that Shaq was involved in. Haha

This is one of the most unique, challenging, and fun platformers ever crafted. Yes, the GBA version has slightly inferior sound and special effects, but it also has extra levels and for the most part it is a faithful port. I still have my GBA cartridge and I play it on my TV with my GameCube's GameBoy Player, so I don't think I'll get this, but for anyone else that hasn't yet played this gem, I highly recommend it! This is Yoshi at his best.

Wii U version for me.

I absolute love the GameBoy. Every incarnation of it from the original to the GBA SP. I still play a lot of GameBoy games on my GBA SP and on my GameCube's GameBoy Player. Such a great line of handhelds and games. Thank you, Nintendo!

This better come to the west (North America included, not just Europe.) I'd definitely buy this. Sounds like a hell of a game. I've never plaued a Fatal Frame title, and a Wii U Fatal Frame with the GamePad seems like it'd be the perfect introduction to the series.

Buy it for the XBLA. The GameCube version is somewhat rare, and it typically sells for around $40 used. If you have a PS2, you can get that version too. The PS2 version is dirt cheap. I bought the GC version so I could complete my Resident Evil collection for the GameCube, otherwise I would have gotten one of those other cheaper ones.

Well, yesterday I finished up Sonic 3 & Knuckles, such a great game! I also started a new file on Metroid Prime so I'll play through that this weekend. Other than Prime, I may fire up the old 64 for some Mario Kart. Fun, fun, fun.

I'll wait for the Wii U version. I understand concerns about the Wii U version's delay situation, and how it will most likely result in poor sales, but I don't care about that. I'll buy it when it's released and enjoy it. It's all us Wii U supporters can really do. At least we're getting the game in the first place, and with unique GamePad features, too.

I originally had this for the Dreamcast and then sold it. Now I own the GameCube version. I like the game, bit I have to agree with some people; the plot is a bit too wacky, and the lack of pre-rendered backgrounds does suck a bit of the atmosphere away. But all in all, it's enjoyable and it serves as a better sequel to Resident Evil 2 than Nemesis does. Even Capcom have admitted that this was the true succesor to RE2.

I agree with him fully. It's pretty awesome that he's played more recent Mario games as well; it proves that he really does love the series and that it made enough of an impact on him as a kid for him to keep being interested in it as an adult. Nice to see some positive comments thrown in Nintendo's direction.

I think they look baddonkey. I wouldn't mind a more realistic art style. I like when Nintendo experiments with art styles within franchises (like the many looks that Zelda games have had, and the unique look that Yoshi's Island had after Super Mario World).

A well-deserved award for this great installment in a fantastuc series. I wish Super Mario 3D World would have also won, but you can't win them all.

I've never heard of this fan-made Sonic trilogy until now. I'll check them out. Old-school Sonic will always rule.

I love the enthusiam this team has, and the game itself sounds really interesting and fun. I'll be checking this out for sure!

The only thing I don't like too much is that it looks too dark and gritty. Part of the charm of Super Mario games is the bright, whimsical worlds. But, he did say that the visuals weren't final and that he was still working on them. I'd love it if he somehow got far enough into the project to be able to remake the whole game, although that's just wishful thinking. Overall, I applaud his effort. This is really cool.

Awesome read. Rare has some of the most interesting histories among video game developers. I really do miss those years of old. The double-team of Nintendo and Rare really made the N64's library a brilliant, exceptional one.

Awesome! Donkey Kong, how I love thee. This will be one of the firsy games I get when I buy a Wii U this year.

@9th_Sage That's Shining in the Darkness, released for the Sega Genesis in 1991.

I love all his artwork. He definitely had a
distinct style that is easily identifiable. His
artwork for the Sonic games is very near
and dear to me. Just looking at it floods
me with wonderful childhood memories. I
played through Adventure Island on the
GameBoy for the first time a few months
ago. It’s cool to see that he was a part of
that too. Also, who doesn’t love Hannah-
Barbera? That studio is responsible for
some of the greatest, most iconic cartoons
ever. Rest In Piece, Martin. You came, saw
and conquered as far as I’m concerned.

@DerpSandwich 2013 was undoubtably the 3DS's year. The amount of quality releases is a bit overwhelming, although it's hard to complain. I feel like Nintendo have something similar planned for the Wii U. There are still many unnanounced Wii U games. But for now, I think everyone can keep themselves very busy with their 3DS.

@DerpSandwich I see what you mean. Playing online is a different experience than playing with friends in the same room. Personally, I prefer local multiplayer, but having an online option is awesome since friends aren't always available to play locally. Thankfully, there's plenty of awesome games coming out this year for Wii U, so you'll have at least a few amazing titles to play instead of Smash Bros.

@DerpSandwich @DerpSandwich There's an online mode too bro. One of the reasons I don't love Melee as much as other people is because I never had anyone to play it with. I'm excited for Smash Bros. U cause I'll always have someone to play with due to it being online.

A well-deserved award for a masterfully crafted game. Super Mario 3D World and A Link Between Worlds have both gotten GotY Awards, and hopefully more sites reward them as well. Nintendo is like an ever-flowing waterfall of creativity and fun. After all these years, they're still doing brilliant things.

Great. I love seeing the "doomed" 3DS thrive in this modern world of smartphones and tablets.

Go Nintendo! The violins of sadness and dissapointment are fading and the triumphant notes of the trumpets of success are now blaring loud and clear!

I would love to try this game out on the Wii U. I've never played it, so if it's ported over to the system with unique GamePad features, I'd play it. Hey, if they put it on the Vita, then why not the Wii U?

Just entered. Good luck everyone! I know we all would love to own this lovely set.
