With the Switch, it's a shame that products like the Transfer Pak wouldn't exist today. The feeling of unlocking characters in Mario Golf N64 with the GBC game, or using your own Pokémon in Pokémon Stadium rather than rentals, felt so ahead of its time.

This is different than I expected, glad to see that a lot of effort is going into Dr. Mario World though. Interesting that green viruses exist now too. Can't wait to try it out!

Is this going to be a new meme? Videos being made that announce game delays?

I went to the Smash Invitational in person last year, no thanks. I got there by 2:30 AM last year, and got in the theater by 12:00 PM and left around 4:00 PM. I had a blast, but the fact that we had to stand the whole time, both outside in line and inside the theater, really killed my feet. They removed all chairs inside the theater to allow more people inside, so everyone had to stand unless you got a V.I.P. seat. I really hope they accommodate more people's needs this time around, I loved being a part of Ultimate's big reveal but it would be nice if Nintendo treated us consumers more like people and less like props.

It's worth mentioning that this game was created with the NES Maker program, I remember seeing this game featured on one of NES Maker's Twitch streams recently.

In the first picture, why is there a metal hand to the left of the Mario statue? Is a character from an upcoming Retro Studios game being covered up?

I recently saw a gray NWC cart at SoCal Retro Gamers Expo. I asked the resellers how much it cost, and they told me that they turned down an offer of $18,000. Tim got extremely lucky.

I hope this opens the doors for more Nintendo themed conventions. I would love a Pokémon Expo in particular.

The title of the article made me think we were going to participate in viewer battles against NintendoLife staff, that would have been fun.

@ryancraddock That's amazing! I got to meet Charles Martinet at E3 2017, he was very kind. Where did you meet Tezuka and Miyamoto?

I enjoyed Nintendo's booth at E3 the past few years, I'm excited to see them again at E3 next year!

Mad props to Celeste for being nominated for Game of the Year, Matt Makes Games must be so proud of themselves and I'm happy for them.

I played it when it first came out on PS4, it’s an absolutely beautiful game. I highly recommend playing it if anyone hasn’t yet, it’s short but really lets the player appreciate the world and its deeper meanings.

@retro_player_22 Fatalize fits like a glove with that commercial! My only constructive criticism is that the music seems to fade throughout the whole video, as the song gets increasingly quieter. The song is also pretty loud at the start and drowns out the SFX. I would make the volume of the music consistent throughout, and then lower it at the end where he says "More Battles, More Fighters, More Fun".

@brandonbwii I was wondering why it took so long to put up today’s downloads too. I was thinking that they did it because they didn’t want to say YouTube was available today, but it’s not even included in this list. Oh well, better late than never.

An eight player GameCube adapter would be very convenient, I would buy one for sure. Please make this happen Nintendo!

At 8 hours and 4 minutes, Aaron Weeber shares his experience on joining the video game industry. Interesting stuff!

Why sell an entire Switch when all that needs to be gotten are the new joycons and dock?

I hope they never take down Pokémon Showdown.

This is very cool. It's so great to see how appreciative the King K. Rool fans are for getting the character they have wanted back for the past decade. I really hope Sakurai sees the letter, he deserves acknowledgement for his hard work!

I really enjoyed Mario Run and don't regret buying it. With that said, it's great that Miyamoto is able to analyze his own work and think critically on how he can improve it. I personally didn't have a hard time with the main game, but since the mobile gaming market has less dedicated gamers that are crunched for time, I can see why it would be an issue. I still hope that he gives the Mario series another shot as producer or director sometime, mobile or not.

You guys aren't looking at the bigger picture here. Gaining the opportunity to work on a Nintendo IP is a huge honor for anyone. For developers to not only get the chance to meet Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto, but also find out that he loves what you are doing and would love to collaborate, must be so surreal and fulfilling. I personally do not care about StarLink, but I am very happy for the development team and it's awesome to see that their life-long heroes care about what they are working on so much. Kudos to the StarLink development team, they deserve it.

Game mods and Nintendo Life go together like Tom & Jerry.

These were dark times.

Deemo Demo: The Demo of Deemo

I remember playing the arcade version years ago, not sure if I would buy the Switch sequel but those were good times.

So excited to go to E3 in person next week!

The headline made me think the game ended up being a buggy mess. Glad to see that's not the case.

"Oh no!"

So happy that Crash is coming to the Switch!

Just finished playing through this game. I almost never cry while playing games, but this game did it for me. Beautiful message and environments.

Here are the quotes so you don't have to watch the video:

(Regarding Elec Man and Journey),
"I have heard this from many people, but when I was composing music at that time, I didn't know any songs by Journey. Even if I did, I wouldn't do such a daring thing (as to copy a song) because it would come out in public."

"Some people have said it's plagiarism and it hurts slightly. But the songs are very similar, and I don't think there's anything I can really do about it now."

dat censor tho

Now I Know My ABC's 2 is hype!

It seems like the name of the game was a turn off for some people, so I don't think a Switch port would change that.

Why is Bowser not invited to Mario's Christmas party?

@Kalmaro It's not being released outside of Japan still. With that said, the article points out that the different eShops are region free, so anyone with access to the Japanese eShop can download the game.

I think it's worth a shot, Nintendo has nothing to lose at this point and Illumination can potentially breathe new life into both the Mario franchise and video game movies as a whole. Plus CGI animation suits the Mario universe much better than live action does.

Without Miiverse, does that mean that we can no longer upload Super Mario Maker levels?

When you make a gimped version of a game with no online play, of course it's not going to sell as well.

The regular Mario amiibo also gives you the classic outfit, the same one as the Mario Maker amiibo.

Once of my favorite indie games of all-time, definitely double dipping on the Switch version.

Awesome, I haven't played it since it hit the Xbox 360 and can't wait to replay it!

I ordered mine online from ThinkGeek yesterday, it's still processing and hasn't shipped yet though.

Sonic Mania is one of the best games on the Switch period, let alone this year.

I misread that as Pikachu at first. LOL
