A LOT of these can be found elsewhere, including many on PS4 by the indie physical companies like Limited Run. No one cared about the Wii U in its prime (except for a few of us), why should any of you bandwagon-jumpers care now?
Am I the only one that can clearly tell Chris Pratt is going for a BROOKLYN accent (like the old Mario Super Show cartoon!) not an Italian accent?? And it’s pretty good!
It’s really amazing when I think about it, that most of the amazing game-makers when I was a kid, are STILL as active as ever: Shigeru Miyamoto, Yuji Naka, Hideo Kojima, Hironobu Sakaguchi, Koji Igarashi, Nobuo Uematsu, etc., etc. They have astounding longevity.
@a_brave_new_geek … Yeah. I have a couple, but they’re mostly junk plastic that every collector edition owner treats like they’ll be sacred valuables in 20 years. A mini-poster, cd soundtrack, stickers, keychain? Yeahhhh we don’t need these anymore.
Can you believe it, I just started playing Stardew for the first time on Christmas Day LAST MONTH, and it’s already 2nd place on my Switch’s “most hours played” list. It’s coming for you Breath of the Wild, and it’s bringing a watering can.
The original FF Tactics is an all-time great; but I think many gamers have no idea how FANTASTIC FFTA-2: Grimoire of the Rift is. It’s as addictive as the original with the setting of FFTA - Ivalice.
What a crock. Just finding out about the physical version upon reading this article. So I’m long past late. Why do video game companies from Limited Run to Nintendo to Square keep doing this bizarre crap with their physical releases.
Surprisingly great FF spinoff, I enjoyed it more than FFX-2 or the two FFXIII sequels. It’s good it got a resurrection, even if the “chirpy, optimist hero!” JRPG trope is about as tired as the whole JRPG genre.
I don’t know. One time might be a miscommunication between NoA and a YouTube channel. Twice, with the same two parties? I’d probably side with Nintendo’s army of lawyers knowing what is legally acceptable.
Hook it to my veins!! Load this thing up with cameos! I wanna see Daisy, Birdo, Wario, Waluigi, Tatanga, Wart (remember Wart?), Mouser, Mallow, Geno, MIPS, Rosalina, the Koopalings, Nabbit….. no need for Bowser Jr. though. I kid Bowser Jr.!
@5t3v3n … I know where you’re coming from. The US/Canada market has seen it’s fair share of game releases that were incredibly scarce; but not so in Europe and Japan. Lost Sphear comes to mind.
Greatest article ever. Me, I’d love to see him as main villain again, and/or in an RPG with presumed brother Waluigi. I honestly don’t know if Shigeru Miyamoto though, even considers him part of the Super Mario canon.
@-wc- … you know, I really liked the minimalist take for Breath of the Wild, especially while free exploring. I thought it made tracks like Hateno, Tarrey Town, Hyrule Castle all the more memorable!
@Moviefan2k4 … yeah, in my area of the country it used to come on at 6am on a Saturday. It had episodes based on SMB 2, 3, and World. The Mario fans of today don’t know how good they have it! There weren’t toys or anything when I was growing up. I’m old. 😂
@Captain-N, yes! I used to love that show since, back in the day, that was like the only non-video game related Mario media/memorabilia/merch there was.
@Serpenterror … I guess I thought that was the whole ever-loving point of Mario Maker. Make your own levels. Apparently no one did that, except this guy?? Bizarre.
@YoshiF2 … You’re right. I collect the Wii U exclusives. Kirby and the Rainbow Curse, Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric, and Game & Wario: grab them while they’re still moderately affordable!

Re: Final Fantasy 1 To 6 Have Been Rated For Nintendo Switch By The ESRB
@LastFootnote … theyre not part of the originals! It’s subsequent extraneous content - not canon with the intended vision! 😉

Re: Video: Here's A Closer Look At Bayonetta 3's Censored "Naive Angel" Mode
Are they going for a “donut cigarette” or something? What’s with the sprinkles? The risqué attire and all that, well that’s a-okay.

Re: Physical Switch Copies Of Bayonetta Are Returning To My Nintendo Store Later This Year
My European brothers and sisters can still get an NTSC copy, and fairly reasonably too. There’s quite a few out there.

Re: Poll: What's The Best Piece Of Music In A Nintendo Game?
Write-in: Super Mario 64 Main Theme
Write-in: Hateno Village (BOTW)
Re: Review: Pilotwings 64 - A Real Gem, Sparkling In The Shadow Of Mario 64
I love this game for so many reasons, not the least of which is birdman.
Re: Feature: The Best Autumnal Levels In Video Games To Get You In The Fall Mood
Definitely the Akkala region from BOTW. Just watch out for that Lynel!!
And nice that Neil Young got a mention.
Re: Voice Of Mario Charles Martinet Thanks Fans For All The "Love And Kindness"
I was in school when Mario suddenly was talking. It was amazing, along with everything else about Super Mario 64.
Re: Poll: So, What’s Your Verdict On The Mario Movie Trailer?
I’m-a-sold! I like Pratt’s Brooklyn brogue. It’s reminiscent of Lou Albano’s Mario Super Show in the late ‘80’s, early ‘90’s.
But we better get Yoshi.
Re: Random: The Narration On The New Pilotwings 64 Trailer Really Is Something Else
@Jiggies …. Sooooooooo much better, and I loved Resort!
Re: Random: The Narration On The New Pilotwings 64 Trailer Really Is Something Else
Still one of my Top Three N64 games (after only Mario 64 and Mario Kart… ahead of Zelda: OoT!) Just an underrated masterpiece.
Re: The Super Mario Bros. Movie Teaser Trailer Is Finally Here
@Moviefan2k4 … yeah, in my area of the country it used to come on at 6am on a Saturday. It had episodes based on SMB 2, 3, and World. The Mario fans of today don’t know how good they have it! There weren’t toys or anything when I was growing up. I’m old. 😂

Re: The Super Mario Bros. Movie Teaser Trailer Is Finally Here
Does anyone remember the old Super Mario Bros. Super Show, from like ‘93 or ‘94? Pratt sounds like that Mario.
Re: The Super Mario Bros. Movie Teaser Trailer Is Finally Here
@VancouverVelocityFan …
I’m… thinking… SPIN-OFF!
And when are we gonna get the Wario boys in a Mario RPG?
Re: The Super Mario Bros. Movie Teaser Trailer Is Finally Here
Just give it the Best Motion Picture Oscar now!
…Is Wario going to make a cameo?
Re: Rumour: Possible First Look At Mario's Movie Face Appears Online
Oh dear lord!!!! It looks like…. Mario.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (October 1st)

Re: Feature: We Take The Fan-Created 'Super Mario Bros. 5' For A Spin
@Serpenterror … I guess I thought that was the whole ever-loving point of Mario Maker. Make your own levels. Apparently no one did that, except this guy?? Bizarre.
Re: Feature: We Take The Fan-Created 'Super Mario Bros. 5' For A Spin
I guess I’m confused. Didn’t everyone who owned Mario Maker 1 & 2 create their own “Super Mario Bros. 5?” I know I did. What makes this guy special?
Re: Review: Tunic - Old-School Adventuring With Nods To Zelda, Unforgiving And Ingenious
@BloodNinja … lol. Quit smoking the strong stuff.
Re: Chris Pratt Has Seen The Super Mario Movie Teaser, Says He's "Blown Away"
It could be awful, and I’m still going to see it. Probably multiple times. It’s-a-Mario.
Re: Zelda-Like 'Oceanhorn 2' Scores A Limited Run Physical Release On Nintendo Switch
@Serpenterror - they’ve already released Oceanhorn a couple years ago.
Re: Zelda-Like 'Oceanhorn 2' Scores A Limited Run Physical Release On Nintendo Switch
Yesss!! Every time the opportunity presented itself, I tweeted at Super Rare to give it a release, but Limited Run will do.
Re: Rumour: The Mario Movie's True Title Probably Won't Shock Anyone
Holy crapolini. Who even considered such an astounding title?!?
; )
Re: Rumour: It's Not Even September And Nintendo Direct Rumours Have Already Started
You’re correct; it’s worse actually. About $150 CIB, $250+ new. Good thing I got my copy back in 2014.

Re: Rumour: It's Not Even September And Nintendo Direct Rumours Have Already Started
I’m gonna guess the curveball out of nowhere is…. F-Zero GX remaster.
Re: Rumour: It's Not Even September And Nintendo Direct Rumours Have Already Started
Wind Waker and Twilight Princess heading to Switch? That would make the last Wii U exclusives… more exclusiver.
: )
