I think Nintendo was giving away FF games for the NES with NP subscriptions. The first FF was almost the last.

That's really cool how they get the sound of horns from strings.

Wow, the last comment was 10 years, 2 months and 11 days ago!

There was a time in the 90's before Pokemon when Game Boy was supposedly "done" and the games where discounted heavily, including this one. I could have picked it up for nothing then, but there was no Nintendo Life to recommend it, and just looking at the back of the box didn't convince me that it was a great game.

@NerdyBoutKirby The 3DS has both the GBC original and also a greatly improved 3D remake.

The Wii U, obviously. The screen was INSIDE the controller! The only wire required is from the power supply.

Beauty really is only skin deep; the inside of this thing is a nightmare!

I notice it once in a while in Animal Crossing, when my islander mysteriously turns another direction on his own. I think Nintendo has tried to correct it through firmware updates, and mostly with success, I'd say.

I received notice from Amazon (US) on Saturday at 4:02 AM that I would receive the refund of $10.83. If they had done nothing at all, I probably would not have complained, since I didn't know there was a discount.

I had to go look at the cards in my Switch game case, and there they were, all these big "E" symbols, except for Tukok and Ninja Saviors, which are "M" and "T".

The AI can't be changed without completely changing the game, but the opportunity for full-screen online is greatly missed..

@JimmySpades 38.

Nintendo fan membership privileges have been revoked.

My official guide book should be the ultimate reference, but there have been many feature updates since it was published. It doesn't even have the art gallery.

I forgot the Wii U even had a browser. I have used the 3DS browser to watch YouTube videos of Virtual Boy gameplay in 3D.

You can get a high quality scan of the original manual and maps from Nintendo. Just search "nes classic manuals".

Before starting this project, I'd suggest reading the whole guide first. I know it seems like a lot, but it's fairly straightforward if you just take it one step at a time, especially if you know the context of each step (having read ahead). I appreciate all the work that went into the guide, even explaining things that are second nature to a modder, like how to not strip a screw thread.

The only thing I need for an Ironwood Kitchenette is the recipe for an Ironwood Dresser, which you can get from a Snooty villager, which I don't have. Time to break out the amiibo cards...

Japan was still using the confetti-inspired art from the first game. Europe seems to be all about the hand. I choose NA.

It's hard to play Super Mario Bros. 3 and feel that it is, in any way, limited by its platform.

In addition to the 720p TV output, the Wii U was driving the gamepad display. I wonder how it would have handled 1080p without the gamepad screen.

Everybody who played this game in the late 80's new this, afaik.

I almost voted NA out of pity... Almost.

I had to give up on the Color Picross in Lord of the Nazarick, also made by Jupiter, because I can't readily distinguish some of the colors. Is there a color blind mode in S4?

Is this how I win a Ring Fit?

I learned how to say coelacanth from the 1958 horror movie "Monster on the Campus."

I always thought the Tengen version was better... until I played it. I still prefer the NES version (not Famicom), but Tetris DS is better still. Tetris Effect on PSVR has too many distracting elements to be a great Tetris game.

I agree that there may be a legal aspect to it. Also, Nintendo shouldn't have to explain the naming of any character in any of their games to anyone.

Without the interactive Mario piece, this would be the worst Lego kit ever.

I'm trying to catch fish, and mostly I get eggs. I think scattering bait always gets fish, but I'm not 100% sure.

The duplication glitch was useful only for those who wanted to be first at everything in their YouTube posts. If that's the way you actually play the game, then you're probably not having fun.

How long will it take for Switch to transition from "coveted" to "door stop"?

For a character that's known for running, you should be able to see his feet, right? NTL, NA's my hood, so I gotta pick Genesis.

You can't see the difference with your phone.

One of my favorite villagers is Iggy, who last appeared on the Gamecube. He moved to my second memory card, so I have to take the train to visit him.

That rolling landscape effect was first used in Wild World, and was not in the Gamecube version. Do they just fill these reviews with errors and then not correct them, even after 11 years?

I still like the GC version best. It seems to more effectively connect the game world and real world. Why does Wild World just display the (mostly) empty sky on the top screen? Seems like a waste.

I would prefer not to give to a child the box that has a sword as the largest piece in the artwork.

The expression is "could NOT care less." But I'm excited about the Toaplan rereleases!

Doesn't matter, Pocket Camp is a lost cause for me anyway. I just hope they don't monetize AC Switch. (Have they already said they would?)

Isn't that EVERY screen protector, not just the best? Anyway, I got the Orzly glass 2-pack, and it worked out quite well. Except for the cutout for the light sensor, it seems like it's not even there.

This is the most love Nintendo has shown for the VB ever!

I'm not surprised. Everyone knows the 3DS was a step back from the best 2D handheld ever, the DSi XL. I still regret transferring my DSiware games to the 3DS.

@BAN I almost chose Broz, but I always say brothers.

When the sprites are viewed at that tiny size, they may as well be individual pixels, so what's the "point"?

Does the N64 have vents on the bottom? Prob'ly shouldn't play on the carpet.

Contra Force?

At least they didn't change the one thing that worked in the original PS3 release: the box cover! I played the PS3 demo when I saw this was coming to Switch. Time travel is a bit of a forced gimmick in this game. While dropping a rock on a switch would be the most obvious way to keep a door open, you must instead time travel so your past (or future?) self must stand on the switch. Simple!

As long as they release Herzog Zwei before they quit the series...
