Super Mario Bros. 35 will no longer be on the Nintendo eShop (ok, limited time fun) The Super Mario Bros. Game and Watch will no longer be available (no problem) Super Mario Maker's online services will be terminated (2 is around) Netflix is taking down the Super Mario Bros. 3 cartoon (it was never available worldwide anyway)
now Super Mario 3D All-Stars will no longer be available for sale, digitally or physically MAKES ABSOLUTE NO SENSE. it's pure anti-consumer to boost full-price sales. a very disrespectful thing to do. in the Iwata years Nintendo was different, even when it was struggling with the Wii U, it never pulled such tactics (I mean nobody forced you to buy amiibo festival)
New Super Mario Bros U + New Super Luigi U (unlikely to happen on the Switch since they went into the easy money grab route with New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe)
Super Mario 3D All-Stars
Super Mario 64 (with added DS content)
Super Mario Sunshine
Super Mario Galaxy
Super Mario Galaxy 2
Super Mario 3D Land
Super Mario 3D World (could actually happen but I see they splitting it two collections, one with the main games and another with 3D Land & World)
Super Mario Legacy All-Stars
Super Mario Bros (based on All-Stars version)
Super Mario Bros: The Lost Levels (based on All-Stars version)
Nintendo Life should stick to news, reviews and opinion pieces - which are all fantastically done! Leave FAQs and guides to specialized websites so only people looking for them will find them.
On RE4Wii it was very instant to get the IR controls. On the RER ports, it surely takes a little longer to get the gyro-controls but once you do you'll never want to go back.
To be honest, I don't miss VC at all. I'd rather see enhanced ports, remasters or collections (à la Mega Man Legacy Collection) than over-priced ROM dumps with little work done.
Capcom has one chance to make Mega Man Legacy Collection worth the purchase which is bundling all ten games into one single package. Adding the original Mega Man & Bass on it would be a dream come true, but I'll keep my expectations low. If they simply flog the two separate collections on the eShop, then I'll gladly give it a skip. Mega Man X Collection is a sure buy for me, as long as all 8 games are bundled together, of course. Mega Man 11 looks nice but also gives me Mighty No. 9 flashbacks so I'll reserve my judgment for late 2018.
The fact that there are 4 green characters - Luigi, Yoshi and their Rabbid variations - leaves me puzzled... they could have used a blue Toad (a la SM3DW) or the plain old yellow Wario. Anyway, game looks beautiful.
For a game this big, it's worth it pre-loading. I would do it, but I'm not sure which version to get. I'm leaning towards the Moon exclusives but the 12h offset is bugging me.
Honestly, graphic-wise Super Mario Switch doesn't look miles away from Super Mario 3D World. Yes, it does look better, better textures and effects, but the jump from Wii to Wii U was far more striking. Of course, we're judging fuzzy snippets of in-development games from a console reveal video, so they're bound to look much better on their separate reveals.
Anyway, I think we're looking at the new iterations of Mario Kart and Splatoon, not remasters.
Now for Super Smash Bros., on the other hand, we might see a remaster as it not shown at the video and it takes ages to build a new one.
If it says Out of Stock, keep checking the page throughout the day... when I first accessed it, the Squid Sisters pack was Out of Sotck but after a while I checked again and the pack was available. Got the Sisters + Waddle Dee (which was previously Out Of Stock too)
I'm a sucker for the 16-bit version of SMB3 cause of childhood memories so just booting this up brings a tear to my eye. I'm going through the e-reader levels now and they're so much fun!
I know it would be too hackish but they could have added amiibo support to this to replace the switches in the main game. Like... tap Mario and the Fireball/Coin switch , tap Luigi for Luigi physics switch, tap Bowser for the Hard mode switch, etc... It might have been a little difficult to explain how it's going to work to the general public so I understand why they haven't messed around with it.
I started playing Bayo1 for the first time this month. What an amazing game. At first, I thought it was senseless button mashing but as the chapters went on the mechanics became natural! Finished the game on Normal, then went back and done all the possible achievements. Now I'm about to start it on hard!
I'm a sucker for these 16-bit graphics and the interface is much cleaner on GBA compared to the All-Stars release. This is certainly the definitive version of SMB3.
Even through emulation, it's not the simplest thing to get these levels on so they deffo had to tinker around the original ROM to make these available. I'm glad Nintendo is more open to these sort of hacking these days!
My dream feature: shake an Ice Block and it becomes a Clear Ice Block that acts the same way but can have items inside of it and be melted with fireballs
Very unlikely... Why would this data be there? No new updates have been sent to MK8 since the first pack was out so where would this be dug from? BS I say.

I never managed to play the original. Couldn't get past the monochrome graphics. So this is a brand new 2D Metroid for me - and a great one it seems.
