I definitely wouldn't mind seeing a mini version of the n64, especially if it came with games that made the system great like Mario Kart, Ocarina of Time, Mario Party 1-3, Pokemon Snap and the list goes on.
That's a very nice list of games, don't own half of the games in that list and I've been wanting to play Zelda 2 and Mega Man 2 again on the big screen since I absolutely despised trying to play them on 3DS. The Classic Controller support is a nice little option and it'll be cool using the NES Controller for both this and my other VC games as I never owned a NES before.
Even if this NES is just a one-time thing and it doesn't get more games in the future, it's a pretty nice deal if you don't own most of the games in the list.
I'll have to start saving up money for this game now that I got Megadimension Neptunia last weekend, hopefully I can get the game soon since it looks really good and the demo made me really excited.
It's upsetting how sudden and early Iwata's death was, he had more positives than negatives for Nintendo throughout his career. We will forever miss you Iwata.
Not a huge surprise, Monster Hunter 4 had a few DLC quests that were given out by 7-Eleven in Japan but ended up being a simple download for the west like the Link and Samus armor.
Pikmin 3's Bingo Battle was a blast to play, it's just a shame there's no online play. All of my friends stopped playing that mode with me since I kept winning lol.
As for games of today, it's difficult for myself to replay games since my collection of games have grown from deals and offers than 10 years ago where it was just me and a small (but replayable) collection of Gamecube and GBA games. Having a large variety of unfinished games makes it pretty hard to replay some games especially if I wasn't really enjoying the game in the first place.
They could've at least tried harder with the animations if they're gonna copy the game fully. Though I admit I wouldn't mind playing Splatoon on a handheld, unless it was mobile platforms only.
If there was a game that would convince me to get a new console sooner than later, it would be Bayonetta or Monster Hunter. Both of those games are really fun to play.
I guess I'll just pick up Dream Team and Paper Jam at some point since I have yet to play those games and it doesn't look like Paper Mario will go back to its traditional roots anytime soon.
Darn, I was hoping Xenoblade Chronicles would've went on sale. I suppose I'll just wait until the Steam Summer Sale since most of the games I do want are available at retail.
@JaxonH Can't wait to play the game, though I have no idea when I'll get it since I'm broke lol. Hopefully I can afford it soon since this is a game I wouldn't want to miss!
The game has plenty of flaws, but it's a really fun strategy game and it doesn't use levels so you can always experiment with the team combinations for better results without having to worry about your units falling behind. I'd definitely love to replay the whole game again if I can get my hands on the Marth, Lucina and Robin amiibo to try out the full FE Squad.
The visuals definitely look pretty nice, hopefully they show some new features later in the year since I'm not too interested at the current new Pokemon other than Rowlet.
Elite Beat Agents is a really fun game, got it for around 11 bucks and I played a bunch of it. I mostly play osu! on PC these days since we've never seen a sequel for the west yet.
This Humble Bundle was great, good games across every tier and the money goes to the charities of your choice. I feel pretty bad I didn't do any donations myself, though I guess that'll just have to be something I gotta change the next time I see a bundle I'm interested in.
@johnodaz Actually you can give the code to someone else since I just remembered your codes are from the UK. (Unless they are NA codes, which I wouldn't mind if you're still willing to give out) Thanks for being generous though, really nice of you to give everyone some codes.
I still have a spare code for Shantae and the Pirate's Curse for Wii U (NA) if anyone wants it, just mention me and I'll give it to the first one. The Humble Bundle is great! It'll be cool to see some more Nintendo Humble Bundles in the future.
@johnodaz I didn't seem to get the code on my pm inbox, I can give you my email instead if backloggery is too tough. Thanks for trying to send the code though!
@johnodaz Would it be possible for me to have Swords & Soldier's 2? If possible, can send me the code via backloggery (private messaging)? I'm not at home yet so I wouldn't be able to redeem it without someone grabbing it.
I usually read the review itself since numbers aren't always the best way to find out if a game is fun to play or not. Though that can be a problem when the reviews don't list all of the features the game might have. It just leads to "Trust me, you'll like/hate it" without knowing if you'd truly like it or not.
Sounds great, really wish this came out before Pixel Paint since that app was pretty bad outside of being an app where you can do pixel art for Miiverse.

Re: Talking Point: Nintendo NX Deal Is A Vindication Of Nvidia's Shield Program
A bit annoying when people treat rumors as fact, I'll just wait until they officially reveal the console.
Re: Hands On: Squashing Space Pirates in Metroid Prime: Federation Force
Sounds like a pretty fun game, I'll probably pick it up later in the year since I'm still saving up some money for Monster Hunter Generations.
Re: Autumn Animal Crossing: New Leaf Update To Bring amiibo Figure And Card Support
I got a few cards lying around from Happy Home Designer and participating in a contest so this is nice.
Re: Hyper Training, Six New Pokémon and More Announced for Sun and Moon
It's about time, hopefully this means IV breeding will no longer be necessary if Hyper Training can max out Pokemon IVs.

Re: We're Digging This Shovel Knight Cameo In Azure Striker Gunvolt 2
Looks very neat, this will be perfect since I got my Shovel Knight amiibo last month so it'll have another use.

Re: Splatoon's Last Splatfest is Next Month
We never did get a Kid vs. Squid Splatfest sadly.
Re: Splatoon Comes To Smartphones, But Not In Quite The Way You Think
They could've at least tried harder with the animations if they're gonna copy the game fully. Though I admit I wouldn't mind playing Splatoon on a handheld, unless it was mobile platforms only.
Re: Tadpole Treble Hits Snag On Wii U, Now Expected This Summer
I got the game on Steam during the Summer Sale and I could definitely say it's worth the wait. The game is charming and fun during the whole campaign.
Re: Splatoon VR Hack Involves A GamePad On Your Back And A Customised Water Pistol
Looks more difficult to play than just using Twin Sticks only.

If potions actually looked like that in reality, I doubt I'd consume them lol.
Re: Round Up: First Mighty No. 9 Reviews Suggest The Wait Hasn't Been Worth It
Makes you wonder how could they screw up with 4 million dollars. I feel sorry for those who backed the game.
Re: E3 2016: Hideki Kamiya Has "Spent A Lot Of Time" Thinking About Bayonetta 3

Re: Japan Has Voted For Its Favourite Pokémon, And It's Not Pikachu

At this point I'd rather just take a 10 second in-game clip like in the ORAS one than the "trailer" we got from the direct.
