The 3DS sure is stable, all right.

...Yeah, I got nothing. XD

I own all seven of Nintendo's home consoles, and I have some of the handhelds. (In particular, I have the original Game Boy Advance, an NES-themed GBA SP, and a red New 3DS XL.) I had a Game Boy Color and a DS Lite, but I lost them a long time ago. I do have the original DS, but it went bust. Oh, and I own the NES and SNES Classics too, as well as the Game & Watch Ball repro from Club Nintendo. Safe to say that I have no shortage of Nintendo stuff in my household. lol

Now all they have to do is reach a billion!

I'll stick with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, thank you.

I like the Mario and Peach ones

That's a cool find. Reminds me of those old pinball toys, only it's a heck of a lot smaller.

@WiltonRoots The framerate is exactly the same as that of real life.

Can't wait to see what they are. I'll be especially excited if they make a 2D Mario game for Switch that's more unique compared to the NSMB games. After all, the Switch just got a port of NSMBU so it makes sense that they'd give 2D Mario a brand new direction!

As for 3D Mario, I enjoy all the 3D Mario games so I'll always be pumped for the next one, be it Galaxy 3, 3D World 2, Odyssey 2, or something else.

Really sad to hear, that BiS re-release must have really done them in. Hopefully Nintendo will get another developer to continue the Mario & Luigi series.

Well they clearly promised we could play with friends online later down the road, and here we are!

Now give us a Super Mario Odyssey style. Or SMB2, SM64...anything to fill that gap in "Extra Game Styles." World maker would be cool too!

@Grumblevolcano Yeah, I could already tell this is for Tour right off the bat. If you ask me, they would've had DLC for 8 Deluxe shortly after it came out on Switch, had they actually announced plans for it. But I don't think it will happen at all, honestly.

@TheFox I have a smartphone myself, but I very rarely play games on it. I much prefer playing games on consoles and PC so I'm not even sure when I'd give MKT a shot. Still waiting for the next console Mario Kart game, but you can bet that Pauline would be playable in that too.

We now live in a time where my favorite company ever has been around for 130 years.

Happy Birthday, Nintendo! Keep making awesome games!

One of the best Mario platformers and quite possibly my favorite game of all time

I've been playing quite a bit of Link's Awakening recently. I also got my Genesis Mini in the mail so I'll be playing that, as well.

I still have a nostalgic soft spot for the original F-Zero, I play it from time to time. It's mega-tough for a Nintendo game and I love the sense of speed. There's not one track I truly dislike, as well. Oh yeah and major props to the awesome soundtrack too!

Believe it or not, I was introduced to the game (alongside SMB2 and 3) via Super Mario All-Stars! I didn't exist until the early 90s, and my dad had the SNES as his only console at the time. So I'm more nostalgic toward the All-Stars versions than the NES originals. I remember seeing the NES version of SMB1 for the first time years ago and thinking how it looked and sounded different compared to what I saw on SMAS.

Oh yeah, and SMB1 is surely one of the most important games ever made. Happy 34th anniversary, Super Mario Bros.!

I still have my Genesis Mini on preorder, I can't wait for it to arrive. It's just too bad that Sonic 3 & Knuckles ain't here, but at least I still have it on Sonic Mega Collection and on the Wii Virtual Console. Aside from eBay, this will be the first time I buy a Sega console. (I never had any Sega console back in their heydays - I was a Nintendo-only kid until I got the PlayStation 2.)

I'm excited to play as Banjo - I even finished Banjo-Kazooie before they came to Smash Ultimate! Buuuuuuuuuuuut as of this post the update doesn't seem to be available. Guess I'll have to have my Switch in sleep mode.

You can hit Sandbag way up into space. 10/10

@sanderev Me too, those games weren't even on the SNES Classic. I know Chrono Trigger came out on the Wii Virtual Console, but as we know already the Wii Shop Channel's gone now.

Sounds like a cool update, I'd love to get my hands on that Mario theme

@sanderev Yeah I see where you're coming from - it's pretty much been a year since NSO came out, after all. It just felt like an eternity to me. XD

Either way, glad to see SNES games on the Switch!

Took them long enough, but better late than never!

Good luck to Reggie. Hope his body's ready for being a professor!

Insert comment on wanting Mario Kart 9 here.

I'll probably wait it out a bit. The game looks awesome, but I have other games in my backlog, not to mention my semester started this week.

All of them look good, but I picked the Japanese box art. I like the sunset and it has a slightly larger scale (you can see Koopa Beach in the background). Not to mention I like Mario's reaction to getting first place

I like how the US and EU covers show the use of items, but where's that banana peel being thrown from? It wasn't thrown by any of the racers, for goodness sake. lol

And yes, poor Toad bringing up the rear. He's my best character, too. At least he's still having a good time!

@Aaronnnnn Yeah I agree, I've been having my red New 3DS XL since Christmas 2015 and I still love it. I have a ton of games for it so it's not going away. I'm thinking Nintendo's treating it as a budget system, so they ditched the models that have the 3D screen. It's a bit of a bummer, but alas...they gotta focus on the Switch.

Referring to the 3DS models that did have 3D:

@RupeeClock Yeah, I also agree with you there. Personally I would've picked Super Mario World sprites or even those from Super Mario All-Stars, to go alongside the Sonic sprites. I'm not really the biggest fan of SMB1's sprites, as iconic as they are.

Other than that, the 2D events look fun. I'll definitely try them out when I pick it up.

Pretty cool to see! I used to watch the VHS tapes of the SMB Super Show and SMB3 cartoons as a kid. I've always been interested in how animated cartoons/films were made, too.

I might get this for my Switch. The only one I've played was Super Monkey Ball 2 and I had a good time with it. Hopefully this one will be good.

I still have it on my Wii U, though I got it digitally. So it's not leaving its internal drive. This is a really good game

To quote Mario in NSMBW: "Oh, yeah! Mario time!"

Just...WOW. I'm a Nintendo fan myself but this is just too much.

Man, do I feel old. The Game Boy had some fantastic games!

Yeah, I'd totally buy into this...

That's a fair amount of levels, I suppose. lol

I uploaded 5 levels so far, I've been making another one. I like the creation aspect of the game.

Just played as Hero for a bit. He has a solid moveset, my favorite move is the neutral special (the one where you charge/shoot the fireball). His side special is pretty good too. Not a fan of his down special though, it's a bit too complicated and luck-based for my liking. It does have its uses, though.

@rjejr Yes, you can get the DLC costumes with the gold coins. Same applies with anything with a price tag on the Switch eShop.

@DrLockdown Yeah, I see that all the time. It's been happening since Red and Blue came out. Nearly every time I see someone playing their Game Boy or 3DS, they're always, always playing Pokemon. lol

@Dev893 Oh good, someone else who hates the lightning cloud. That thing needs to go lay down

I have one game voucher left, I already used my first one on Super Mario Maker 2. Not sure what game I should use my last voucher on at the moment (maybe I'll use it on Animal Crossing: New Horizons since I can just hop into my island without having to change cartridges). I'm not sure if I want another pair, as I have too many games in my backlog and they cost quite a bit.

I think Nintendo should have the game vouchers available periodically. Like, maybe offer them yearly? This was a pretty good perk for those of us who have access to NSO.

Good update. Not sure if I will make that many, but I did upload 5 levels so far and I enjoy making my own.

More game styles would be great (I'm still hoping for an Odyssey game style). Online multiplayer needs some work, though. I would've made it work like Mario Kart's online where it doesn't lag and predicts where other players are. After all, you're racing toward the goal! If that means just passing through other players instead of picking them up, so be it.

It is not the same without Iwata-san. Like many of you, I miss him dearly.

Funny how it's placed under "Nintendo 3DS/Wii U software/digital content." Anyway, at least it's a step up from what My Nintendo has been offering in the US. Still no physical rewards though

Here it comes, everybody...

By the way, I was on Team Chaos. Boy, did it feel good to wake up to this news!

@NESlover85 I know, right...that HURT. -_-

I see what you did there, Ninty!

Super Mario Maker 2, as well as Tetris 99 to get the Splatoon theme. I'll be playing Banjo-Kazooie too. Maybe play Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate for a bit as well.

I'm too busy playing Super Mario Maker 2 and Banjo-Kazooie at the moment.

That's fine with me. I would admittedly like a Switch Pro but I can wait.

I gotta admit, it looks great. Too bad it ain't real...

I have no problem with Nintendo continuing to sell 3DS's, as there's a lot of great games for it (Virtual Console games included, plus SNES games for New 3DS owners) and it's very affordable. But yeah... sooner or later demand will decrease, especially since Switch Lite is now a thing.

@Anti-Matter I'm not sure if that will happen. Nintendo's been only giving the 3DS stability updates lately, so it probably won't happen. Same thing with the Wii U. I agree though, it would be great to have both 3DS and Wii U region-free.
