16 out of 20 here. I seriously thought that was the control pad for a Wii Remote, not the Wii U GamePad. And how was I supposed to know what that thing was in question 19?
I have a nostalgic soft spot for the indigo GameCube so I voted for that. Me and my brother got that for Christmas back in 2001, after all - we played it a ton!
I'll likely head back to Animal Crossing: New Horizons this weekend. Oh, and tomorrow is my birthday! So I'll likely play some Mario games with my family to celebrate. Was thinking of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Super Mario Maker 2, or one of the Mario Party games. Maybe some Nintendo Land, as well.
@PBNightmare I was recently thinking of getting OR/AS from the eShop soon. Heard great things about HG/SS, but sadly they're like $100 at least. So OR/AS it is, lol
I picked Team Star, since I've always liked stars. Not just the ones that make you invincible, but the Power Stars you collect in Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Galaxy, as well.
Looks cool, but I kinda wish they went for the Mario red color they had for the SMO bundle, instead of neon red. I have the Mario red joy-cons, as well.
Happy New Year to all you guys! Just remember to stay healthy, wash your hands, wear your masks while you're out, do social distancing, all that stuff to defeat COVID. Here's hoping 2021 will be an even better year.
More Animal Crossing of course. I'm also currently playing Ocarina of Time (3DS). I got Persona 4 Golden from Steam not too long ago so I'll be playing that too! I'm liking P4G so far.
Probably my favorite console of all time, but the Switch is right up there too. I have a ton of nostalgia for the SNES and it has some of the best games ever made. But like a lot of people, I SO prefer the Super Famicom design. The NA design is pretty bland in comparison, honestly.
Can't believe it's been 30 years since it came out in Japan. I feel old...lol
I still have my Wii U hooked up. Haven't been playing it that much though, since I have a Switch. I'm still keeping mine since I have a ton of downloadable games on it, including VC games. It's basically a retro game machine at this point, lol. I sometimes play Xenoblade Chronicles X on it, too. Some Wii U games still remain on my backlog too, like DKC: Tropical Freeze and Bayonetta. (My copy of Bayonetta 2 came with the first one too, which is cool.)
I have the deluxe set that came with Nintendo Land, I got that as a Christmas present. Super Mario 3D World is still one of my favorite Mario games, that was a great time when first playing it! I also remember getting Mario Kart 8 in the mail the day before its release date - that felt really, really good.
Wow! I didn't think Nintendo would do this, so this is super cool to see. I've been giving this new update for a spin and the GameCube controls are 100% spot on - even down to the analog L and R buttons! That is awesome.
Recently I've been coming back to my 3DS. There's a lot of games I have for it that I haven't finished yet! (Such as Fantasy Life - REALLY should play it more often.) I've been replaying A Link Between Worlds and I still love it.
I have a New 3DS XL - I love it and it's all red (my favorite color) but I don't care for how glossy it is. Kinda wish I got a regular-sized New 3DS, but it is what it is, lol. Definitely a system well worth keeping, even if I have a Switch.
I first played Tetris Attack way back when I got it for the SNES. (Don't remember when, it's been too long, lol) I loved it back then and I love it today - it's easily my favorite puzzle game. Really glad that Panel de Pon came out on NSO's SNES catalog. And yes, I'd LOVE a Panel de Pon battle royale too!
I dunno if I agree with Epic Yarn being the best Kirby game (my pick would be Super Star Ultra), but I still love it. It's one of the most charming platformers I've ever played - I highly recommend it to anyone.
@Toads-Friend Yeah, I totally agree with you. I'm a massive fan of Mario as well but I don't see myself getting MKL. Looks more like a toy than a full-fledged Mario Kart game to me and it's mega expensive. So I'll wait for the next mainline Mario Kart game instead. lol
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for the NA open tournament, as well as more Animal Crossing: New Horizons and Super Mario Bros. 35. Will be playing Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair too, since I just got that game on sale a couple days ago. Maybe some Super Mario Galaxy 2, as well.

Re: Poll: What's The Best 2D Mario Game?
Super Mario World is easily my favorite 2D Mario. Maybe even my favorite game of all time!
Super Mario Bros. 3 is a VERY close second though.

Re: Poll: Which Is Your Favourite GameCube Console Variant?
I have a nostalgic soft spot for the indigo GameCube so I voted for that. Me and my brother got that for Christmas back in 2001, after all - we played it a ton!
Re: Super Nintendo World Becomes Even More Awesome Thanks To This Real-Life Mario Train
That's a really cool-looking train. Would love to climb aboard one day.
@Ghost_of_Hasashi Or the train in Kalimari Desert - either or would be cool to see. Maybe as an in-park ride or something!
Re: Video: 7 Legacy Sonic Games That Were Never Rereleased
I still want to give Sonic Pocket Adventure a shot. Would love for it to get a rerelease of some kind.
@Sunsy I like Sonic Heroes as well, still have my GameCube copy.
Re: Gallery: Nintendo Shares Even More Stunning Screenshots Of Bowser's Fury
Those are some cool screenshots. Good way to start off my birthday
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (January 23rd)
I'll likely head back to Animal Crossing: New Horizons this weekend. Oh, and tomorrow is my birthday! So I'll likely play some Mario games with my family to celebrate. Was thinking of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Super Mario Maker 2, or one of the Mario Party games. Maybe some Nintendo Land, as well.

Re: Team Super Mushroom Wins Splatoon 2's Mario-Themed Splatfest
Aw man...I was kinda hoping that my side would win. Maybe next time.
Good game, Team Mushroom - enjoy your victory.
Re: Poll: What's The Best Kirby Game?
Kirby Super Star Ultra is my pick for the best Kirby game.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (January 16th)
A Splatfest's going on now, so Splatoon 2 for me!
@Josh_Hickory89 Happy birthday! Hope you have a good one. Sorry to hear about your dad, my condolences.
Re: Reminder: Splatoon 2's Mario-Themed Splatfest Takes Place This Weekend, Pick Your Power-Up
I picked Team Star, since I've always liked stars. Not just the ones that make you invincible, but the Power Stars you collect in Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Galaxy, as well.
Let's rock, Team Mushroom!
Re: Nintendo Kicks Off New Year Switch Sale - Mario, Splatoon And More Discounted (North America)
Went ahead and got the Captain Toad DLC bundle from the sale!
Re: Nintendo Unveils Brand New 'Mario Red & Blue' Switch Console
Looks cool, but I kinda wish they went for the Mario red color they had for the SMO bundle, instead of neon red. I have the Mario red joy-cons, as well.
Re: Super Mario 3D World Trailer Shows Off Two Minutes Of Bowser's Fury Gameplay
Looks awesome. Can't wait.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (January 9th)
Will be playing Xenoblade Chronicles DE this weekend.

Happy New Year to all you guys! Just remember to stay healthy, wash your hands, wear your masks while you're out, do social distancing, all that stuff to defeat COVID. Here's hoping 2021 will be an even better year.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (Christmas Special)
More Animal Crossing, of course. Plus I just started Fire Emblem: Three Houses so I'll be playing that too!
Re: Feature: Nintendo Life's Switch Game Of The Year 2020
Agreed with the #1 spot. It's by far my favorite game of 2020.
Re: Sephiroth From Final Fantasy VII Joins Super Smash Bros. Ultimate This Month
That was a pretty rad reveal. I certainly didn't see that coming, lol. I'm happy for all the Sephiroth fans!!!
...Thank goodness you're okay, Mario.
Re: My Nintendo Europe Is Offering This Cute 2021 Calendar - Just Pay Shipping
Looks cool, but judging by the dimensions they are rather small for my liking. And I'm in the US so I can't get it anyway. lol
Re: Tetris 99 Hosting Super Mario All-Stars Maximus Cup Later This Week
Can't wait to get my hands on that theme. Love SMAS
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel #69 - The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild
Yeah, the US/Japan one. No contest. It conveys the open-world nature of BotW much better than the European one.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (November 28th)
More Animal Crossing of course. I'm also currently playing Ocarina of Time (3DS). I got Persona 4 Golden from Steam not too long ago so I'll be playing that too! I'm liking P4G so far.
Re: Animal Crossing Wins Nintendo Game Of The Year At The Golden Joysticks, Here Are All The Winners
I'm happy to see that New Horizons got the Nintendo GotY. Love this game and it's definitely my favorite game of 2020.
Re: Nintendo Goes Big With Cyber Deals Sale, Up To 50% Off Top Switch Games (North America)
Oh sweet, the Torna expansion's on sale now. I still haven't beaten XC2 yet, but I still put a ton of time into it. I might have to get it soon.
Re: Anniversary: The F-Zero Series Is Now 30 Years Old
@Yanina That would be super rad. This is the perfect opportunity to add multiplayer to the first F-Zero.
Re: Hardware Classics: The Super Famicom Is 30 Today
Probably my favorite console of all time, but the Switch is right up there too. I have a ton of nostalgia for the SNES and it has some of the best games ever made. But like a lot of people, I SO prefer the Super Famicom design. The NA design is pretty bland in comparison, honestly.
Can't believe it's been 30 years since it came out in Japan. I feel old...lol
Re: Poll: Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Calamity Is Out Today, Are You Getting It?
It's not for me. I didn't like the first Hyrule Warriors that much and the demo didn't impress me either. They're a little too button mashy for me.
Re: New Restrictions Placed On Time Travel In Animal Crossing: New Horizons
Nothing against time travellers, but I'm glad that Nintendo did this, honestly. No more holiday spoilers!
Re: The Wii U First Launched Eight Years Ago Today
I still have my Wii U hooked up. Haven't been playing it that much though, since I have a Switch. I'm still keeping mine since I have a ton of downloadable games on it, including VC games. It's basically a retro game machine at this point, lol. I sometimes play Xenoblade Chronicles X on it, too. Some Wii U games still remain on my backlog too, like DKC: Tropical Freeze and Bayonetta.

Re: Animal Crossing: New Horizons Winter Update Arrives This Thursday
The two holidays are really nice, but I'm most excited for the expanded storage and the random dreams. This game just keeps on giving.
Hopefully there will be an update that expands our house even further, as well as adding extra buildings.
Re: Super Mario 3D All-Stars Updated To Version 1.1.0, Sunshine Gets GameCube Controller Support
Wow! I didn't think Nintendo would do this, so this is super cool to see. I've been giving this new update for a spin and the GameCube controls are 100% spot on - even down to the analog L and R buttons! That is awesome.
Re: Happy 68th Birthday, Shigeru Miyamoto
Happy Birthday, Miyamoto-san! Thanks for everything...especially Mario!
Re: Sega Reveals Never-Before-Seen Concept Art For The Sonic Adventure Games And Sonic Heroes
So that's what Sonic Adventure would've looked like if it was on the Sega Saturn!
All the concept art were pretty cool to see.
Re: Splatoon 2's Mario-Themed Splatfest T-Shirts Are Back (North America)
Decided to pick Super Star for the Splatfest, so I went ahead and got a tee for that. Luckily my size was in stock!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (November 7th)
You guessed it. More AC:NH for me.
Re: How Well Do You Know Pikmin?
10 out of 12. I got lucky in the height question, lol.
Re: Soapbox: An Ode To The 3DS, Nintendo's Workhorse Console
Recently I've been coming back to my 3DS. There's a lot of games I have for it that I haven't finished yet! (Such as Fantasy Life - REALLY should play it more often.) I've been replaying A Link Between Worlds and I still love it.
I have a New 3DS XL - I love it and it's all red (my favorite color) but I don't care for how glossy it is. Kinda wish I got a regular-sized New 3DS, but it is what it is, lol. Definitely a system well worth keeping, even if I have a Switch.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (October 31st)
More AC:NH. Yeah, I like that game a lot.
Re: Video: Join Us For A Complete Series History Of Panel De Pon, With ScottTheWoz And Shesez
I first played Tetris Attack way back when I got it for the SNES. (Don't remember when, it's been too long, lol) I loved it back then and I love it today - it's easily my favorite puzzle game. Really glad that Panel de Pon came out on NSO's SNES catalog. And yes, I'd LOVE a Panel de Pon battle royale too!
Re: You'll Soon Be Able To Invert The Camera Controls In Super Mario 3D All-Stars
Glad to hear that they're adding such an option. Granted I've finished all 3 games, lol. But I'm happy nonetheless!
Re: It's Been Three Years Since We First Embarked On A Super Mario Odyssey
I got SMO the day it came out and I loved it! I went ahead and 100%'d it last year, as well. Perhaps I'll revisit it at one point.
Hopefully we'll get a sequel soon, I'd be down for that. A truly excellent game.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (October 24th)
More New Horizons, as usual. Recently I started replaying A Link Between Worlds so I'll be playing that too!
Re: Random: It Turns Out Some Cats Love Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit
So, Mario Kart Live could double as a cat toy.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (October 17th)
More New Horizons for me.
Re: Video: Watch The Grand Opening Of Super Nintendo World's Mario Café And Store
If I ever do have a vacation in Japan, I'd totally go there. Hopefully there will be a Mario cafe in the US too!
Re: Soapbox: 10 Years On, Kirby's Epic Yarn Is Still The Pink Puffball's Finest Outing
I dunno if I agree with Epic Yarn being the best Kirby game (my pick would be Super Star Ultra), but I still love it. It's one of the most charming platformers I've ever played - I highly recommend it to anyone.
Re: Video: Here's A Look At All 24 Track Themes Available In Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit
@Toads-Friend Yeah, I totally agree with you. I'm a massive fan of Mario as well but I don't see myself getting MKL. Looks more like a toy than a full-fledged Mario Kart game to me and it's mega expensive. So I'll wait for the next mainline Mario Kart game instead. lol
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (October 10th)
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for the NA open tournament, as well as more Animal Crossing: New Horizons and Super Mario Bros. 35. Will be playing Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair too, since I just got that game on sale a couple days ago. Maybe some Super Mario Galaxy 2, as well.
Re: Poll: Have You Won A Game Of Super Mario Bros. 35?
As of now I've won 13 times - all that time of me playing Mario games have been paying off
