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
I've played most of the Paper Mario games. I adore TTYD, like many people. I also enjoyed the N64 original and Super Paper Mario, even if the latter was completely different from the first two.
I already talked about how I hate, hate, hate, hate, HATE Sticker Star multiple times here at NL - I ended up skipping Color Splash as a result. I did get Origami King recently, as it still looked miles better than SS, despite it not being quite like PM1 and TTYD. So I'll be playing that and then I'll judge the game for myself.
14 out of 15 here, I didn't think Roy made his debut in Melee. Also, although I never played a Resident Evil game before, I did know of the Jill sandwich quote. Nice quiz overall
Never got the game but I did play the global testpunch a few times. It was pretty fun for a while, but I guess it didn't quite click with me the same way that, say, Smash Bros. did. Would've been cool if there was a story mode like others mentioned - I kinda wish there was a bit more to it.
I'd want Super Mario 64, Sunshine, Galaxy, and Galaxy 2 - Super Mario 3D All-Stars, if you will. All the extras from SM64 DS would be welcome, but I'd still be happy with just the N64 original being remade along with the others I've mentioned.
I won't mind seeing a compilation of NSMB 1, Wii, and 2 (the latter of which having all the Coin Rush DLC levels), as well as a Super Mario 3D World port to Switch. It'd also be cool to see Super Mario Land 1 and 2 have the same treatment as the Link's Awakening remake.
I have the New 3DS version so I think I'll stick with that. It's cool that it's on Switch and that it has a new scenario, but I don't feel like paying $60 for it.
Ten years! Man, I feel like it hasn't been that long since SMG2's launch. I remember picking up my preordered copy at GameStop - this was the first Mario platformer that I had preordered. Of course, I loved every second of it. I think I'll replay it today
@WoomyNNYes @Averagewriter Yeah you guys are probably right. It's gotta be the current traffic. FYI I'm on the east coast. Guess I'll try again periodically.
I can't download the update either. Although it says they're doing maintenance, I checked their network status and it says it's normal for some reason. Maybe try again tomorrow?
To celebrate my favorite Nintendo hero of all time, I think I'll play some Super Mario Maker 2 and/or Mario Kart 8 Deluxe tonight. Happy Mario Day, everyone!
@IronMan30 Wow, your son's lucky! Tell him that one of Nintendo Life's biggest Mario fans wish him a super-happy birthday.

Re: Super Mario Sunshine Is Now 18 Years Old
Not my favorite 3D Mario, but I liked my time with it overall. Some of the Shine Sprites and Blue Coins are obnoxiously hard to get, though.
I'd love to see this game get the remaster treatment the same way Wind Waker did.

Re: Poll: Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition Is Out Today On Switch, Are You Getting It?
