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.
Anyway, can't wait to see what new stuff will be shown. Wasn't the biggest fan of Hyrule Warriors (on Wii U) myself, but hopefully the AoC gameplay will change my mind.
More AC:NH, as well as Super Mario Bros. 35. Almost done with getting 120 stars in Super Mario Galaxy (via 3D All-Stars) so I'll be playing that too. SMG is still awesome after all these years.
Not my favorite Mario game, but it's still a good one. This was one of the games I had for my Game Boy Color way back in the day. I had SML2 as well - that game is of course even better. Still have my old carts and the 3DS VC versions.
More of Animal Crossing: New Horizons and Super Mario 3D All-Stars for me. In the latter case, I found myself flip-flopping between Sunshine and Galaxy. (I finished 64.) Also been playing a little bit of Disgaea 5 from that NSO trial.
Mario's the reason why I'm a gamer in the first place! The very first time I played the first Super Mario Bros., it was via Super Mario All-Stars on the SNES and I was around 4 at that time. (Come to think of it, SMAS was likely the first game I ever played.)
Super Mario is by far my favorite video game series of all time, with masterpieces like Super Mario World, Super Mario Galaxy, and many others to name just a few. If it weren't for the creation of SMB, gaming just wouldn't be the same now, would it? Looking forward to Mario's next adventure, whenever that may be!
Happy 35th Anniversary, Super Mario Bros.! Keep on being awesome, Mario.
The first time I got exposed to the Game & Watch games were the Game & Watch Gallery series on the Game Boy. I had the first two as a kid. They were pretty fun and I loved how they put Mario characters in these games
Hopefully I'll get my hands on that SMB Game & Watch!
Really happy to see 3D World come to the Switch! More people deserve to play this masterpiece. Bowser's Fury looks intriguing as well. It's one of those games I love so much that I'd get it for Switch too...especially if it has more content.
9 out of 15 here. Aside from Donkey Kong Country, Diddy Kong Racing, and Banjo-Kazooie, I didn't play too much of Rare's games. I did better than I expected, lol
More AC:NH. Also a couple weeks ago, I lucked out and got the collector's edition of Xenoblade Chronicles at Nintendo's online store, so I'll be playing that too.
Gonna be playing some more of Animal Crossing: New Horizons. I'm gonna work on my island a little more, and if I'm lucky enough I can get some new fish/bugs for the museum. I'll also play Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, there are those tournaments going on that Nintendo's hosting this weekend. (For NA, anyway)
I just saw the trailer for this game today, I already love how it looks! Really wanna give this a shot, especially since I like 3D platformers and it's made by the same people who made Sonic.
Oh man, I remember the M&M's one. I've seen footage of it on YouTube like a decade ago, that guy says that all the time. I get it, I'm approaching the sound barrier. 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

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: 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: Anniversary: Super Mario Land Launched 30 Years Ago Today In Europe
