I'm tempted, just because I remember playing this in the arcade as a lid and was intrigued then by the subtle changes to the home original. Would like to play it again.
Interesting idea. Although budgetwise i wont be picking these up. They do make for good collectors items. I would look forward to similar things from other developers going forward.
How very cool of this person. If i win i will donate this to my girlfriend. Because she has never played Pokemon before, and i still have a lot of life out of both White 2 and Y before i am ready to start the new generation.
Nothing on here that i don't have on my reptropie system. However the selling point of the NES Mini (which i will buy anyway) Is the aesthetic appearance and collectable point of it being a Nintendo released product. I own an original NES boxed still anyway. But a sucker for collecting.
Is it wrong of me to ask in here where i can still get a link to download this game from? I missed my oppurtunity on release. Still have my Metroid 2 for GB boxed. So Nintendo need not be angry at me lol
@beazlen1
I have played it before round a friends, and oddly enough own Captain Toad. But yes looking forward to diving in to it properly for the first time. Its just finding that time. I need a week off work lol.
I have been putting off SM3DW since i got my Wii U for no reason really. I am huge Mario fan, but clearly not huge enough. For £20 though its a sone deal. It would never lower in price any other way not even pre-owned
@ggnorekthx I would be interested in picking up some more. However i don't want them for storage and display. I would enjoy reading them so they don't have to be in perfect condition, as long as they haven't been drawn in. Which is the case with a lot of these books now.
The major selling point to this, is the quality of titles amongst the 30 available. I'd say 20-25 are must haves for the system anyway. I own maybe a dozen of these in some form or other. But will still be picking this up
Very very cool Heidi. Wish i'd stuck at the collecting thing more in my youth. It's too pricey an affair to start nowadays. At least in a serious collecting sense. I bow down to your efforts.
I had this on GBA and then downloaded the NES version from VC. Very fun game for its time. Watch the River City Rumble movie by X-Strike studios for a giggle if you're a fan of the game.
@nauticalCrimes I can see this being more aimed at people who will download the roms though. But obviously they won't plug that too much to stay on side with the legal nuts.
@Kuhang It's a risk, but one Konami should look at as it's one of the few franchises of theirs that still does ok. Plus it could do with a boost. The glory days of the PES series on PS2 when it ruled the football game world are long gong.
It's the type of game i would have enjoyed in my younger years. I struggle with patience now though, and it's a shame because it ruins my gaming ethic at times.
@dizzy_boy they have opened it up to larger spaces in recent years. Hopefully this year again more is used. I have a holiday to save for and i know going to these events destroys my wallet so i'm staying clear this summer.

Re: New Nintendo 3DS Stays on Top in Japan Despite Tales of Berseria Release
I know xbox has never had a market share in Japan. But 52 sales in a week is dreadful. Nice to see Nintendo will always be number one over there.

Re: Captain Toad And Super Mario 3D World Are Joining The Nintendo Selects Range In Europe Soon
Current selects titles are only £16.99 from Argos. So worth shopping around for the best price in the UK guys.

I need to dig out my old Nintendo Adventure Books. They were class
Re: Random: Pokémon GO Costs WWE Tag Team A Win
@MadAdam81
This week was a big step in the right direction for WWE. Changes are a coming, and young talent is being given a chance.
Re: Random: Pokémon GO Costs WWE Tag Team A Win
@MadAdam81 things are changing, NXT is very good, TNA need a change up. ROH is the purists choice and fair play.
Re: Random: Pokémon GO Costs WWE Tag Team A Win
I'm 32 and still enjoy WWE. I'm also a well educated, well paid professional. Go figure.
Re: Nindie Favourites Coming To Wii U Disc Under Nintendo eShop Selects Label
Will definately go for the physical copy of the Steamworld titles.

Re: Natsume Is Bringing River City: Tokyo Rumble To North America This Year
I hope for a European release. Although unlikely
Maybe on the eshop. But i'm a demander for physical products.
Re: Pokémon Red, Blue And Yellow European Pricing Is Confirmed
I just blew £6 on a McDonalds and i'm still hungry. £9 for Pokemon doesn't seem all that bad.

Re: Console Modder Zoki64 Is Back With Another Super Mario-Themed SNES
@ekreig That was the original boxart i believe. I think re-releases were different.
Re: Obituary: Satoru Iwata
This truly is sad news. So unexpected
Re: The Smart Boy Is Real, Will Let You Play Original Game Boy Carts On Your Smartphone
@NauticalCrimes I'm unsure. But like you said if it only allows carts then a GBA SP would be better suited.
Re: The Smart Boy Is Real, Will Let You Play Original Game Boy Carts On Your Smartphone
@nauticalCrimes This may link to any emulator on the phone though. So may be different.

Re: The Smart Boy Is Real, Will Let You Play Original Game Boy Carts On Your Smartphone
Much cooler than shoddy touch screen controls. Shame by GB collection of carts is long gone.

Re: No FIFA For Nintendo Fans This Year, States EA
@jonnyN Yeh i picked it up for £3.50 from Argos last week here in the UK just to build on the Wii U collection.
Re: No FIFA For Nintendo Fans This Year, States EA
They didn't start off brightly with FIFA13 on WiiU being just like FIFA12 from other systems

Re: Pokémon White Version 2 Proves to be Super Effective in UK Charts
Just picked up White 2 for £8 in Argos, and FIFA13 on Wii U for £3.50 just to add to the Wii U collection. Bargain hunting at its best.

Re: Hardware Review: REVO K101 Plus
Nice looker. But the emulation thing isn't a selling point to me. I'd prefer to keep my SP or even buy a micro, that are super slick. However pricey.
Re: New Super Mario Bros. Receives ESRB Rating For Wii U Virtual Console
Since my DS cart is in my ex girlfriend's DS somewhere many miles away, it would make sense for me to get this again.
