@BlueOcean I get ya! Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water coming back from the dead (pun totally intended!) and made multi-platfom was the announcement that made me jolt in my chair and blurt out, “Whaaat?!”

@nhSnork We do?!

Edit: Oh, thank you for informing me. Truly. :’D

@BowtieShyGuy I’m wondering if each platform version will have at least one unique costume. This is rather curious!

Even though, unless I’m mistaken, this is the 20th anniversary of the first (Project) Zero/Fatal Frame’s release, I wasn’t holding my breath for any kind of surprise. So, this surprised the hell out of me! I’m happy, but now I want more.

With all these game announcements and everything, including this remaster, all I can say is… I am overburdened!

One specific melody from the first Mario + Rabbids, the one that plays during the tutorials, and also "Rabbid Kong Rumble", is actually one of my personal favorites ever since. I was so expecting Grant to return that I would've been stunned if he wasn't!

First thing I thought of was some Care Bears song. 🎶You like hats?! I’m mad about hats!🎶

I’d love it if Cackletta resurfaced in a Mario spin-off, out of the blue!

“EEYAH-HA-HA-HA!!” whacks a golf ball

Thanks! I snagged mine in a flash.

This might be the first time a NintendoLife article’s title made me go from grinning to (deliberately, comically) screaming in frustration in the middle of a parking lot. Broad daylight, natch! Ah, well.

I’ve been interested in these games since the Super Smash Bros. Melee trophy. I simply can’t wait!

I was hoping for the end credits song from the Detective Pikachu movie!

@Ralizah Huzzah! I’m late in replying! 😄 I assure you, I was laughing with you because you amused me. You once referred to a game that flopped as a “wet fart,” which made me laugh out loud in an inopportune environment, unless I’m mistaken. Anyway! Yep. Everything you’ve said about LMJ is the truth, in my eyes. If this is truly the end, well, we still have those solid adventures to revisit, yeah. Rock on!

I’ll never forget the first time my mother rented Zombies Ate My Neighbors, close to when the game was released. I played a lot of it, then she served breakfast. I told her the way the eggs were scrambled kinda reminded me of brains, and I felt like a zombie eating it! I remember her being both amused and annoyed. Heh. This news makes me happy!

I oughta cosplay as that Golfer!Peach.

@TsukiDeity Haha! Well, when the price is right! Gotta love steep sales.

@Socar No offense taken, friend! It’s your opinion and I’ll rock on defending it! Personally, I always liked Miracle Mask more than Azran Legacy.

@Ralizah Apologies if I’m being weird, but I’m happy to cross paths with you, so to speak! You’ve amused me over the years, so thanks! 😄

Yeah, I agree with every point you’ve made about the game. When Mr. Akira died (RIP, aye), I already feared the quality of the series’ puzzles would take a hit. Every aspect took a hit, heh. A true disappointment. In fact, here’s an excerpt of my review, which is barely longer than this short-as-hell excerpt:

LMJ didn’t really start to come alive—but it still didn’t land—until the final case. And even that was ‘the poor man’s Layton’.

And I still feel that way. Oh, well! Every puzzle has an answer, even if some puzzles have unsatisfying answers!

@neufel I fear that might be a bad thing! I’m not too trustworthy, haha! 😏

Sorry to be a downer, but here’s my opinion. I am a massive fan of the Professor Layton franchise, and I can say, without equivocation, that LMJ: Katrielle/Millionaires’ Conspiracy is the worst of the series, by a notable margin. I didn’t dislike the game, and I certainly don’t regret purchasing it some years ago, but (again, opinion) if there is a Layton game to revisit and spruce up, this sure as heck isn’t it.

Edit: Of course, there’s the anime! And it’s cool. I just don’t think the Katrielle game stacks up to previous Layton games.

@BloodNinja That post of yours was tastier than a Maxim Tomato! Thank you for helping me with some purity, Ninja!

When I got the word that these games are finally officially coming to the West, I glanced at the clock as if to say, “Hm, it’s only been several years!” Better late than never, heh!

I started with the localized version released on the GameCube. I remember being charmed by this 'life simulator' at the time. And, yeah, the inclusion of some NES games really charmed me!

Them adding in The Lost Vikings 2 pretty much throws my only true gripe about the Arcade Collection out the window! Lost Vikings 2 is a personal favorite of mine, and I particularly love the music. That "Dark Ages" theme is the kind of music I want to be played at my funeral!

@Phenzy “Bubble Bobble 35”? You are the one that made me snap my fingers into a pointing gesture and nod. Yep. I’d be all over Bubble Bobble!

As for indie games, I’ll say “Mutant Mudds 99.” Because I can.

Until my heart has made its final beat, I will always happily live in the delusion that Professor Layton is in Super Smash Bros.

I will say one thing about Balan Wonderworld: It somehow got me to think about the obscure Jersey Devil, a PS1 game from way back. I haven’t played that game in, gosh, 20 years? Yeah. That’s all I have to say, I’m afraid. I played Balan’s demo and politely yet briskly escorted it out the door.

No. No, thank you. Goodbye, Neighbor.

Pulls down the window shade to obscure that Buzz Lightyear-like neighbor’s face that refuses to go away.

@Preposterous Oh, I loved Ghost Master!

I’m going to let you all in on a little secret: I got the soundtrack so long ago, when it first came out, but I’ve never played this game. I love the soundtrack, though!

Cool! I love the hand-drawn nature of the game. Obelix is my homeboy.

@Ghostchip At least make it so golden tools don’t break! I’m still not a fan of that!

@Rayquaza2510 Sorry, I forgot to stress that I was speaking for myself, and I’m probably lucky. I mean, hey, you tried! And you’re certainly not a lesser person that you still have the fear/phobia. I commend you all the same! 😄

I used to be VERY arachnophobic, but I got desensitized (gradually), and now I catch and release spiders instead of killing them. I even encountered a Goliath birdeater at an expo! Spiders are so fascinating and important, if one can overcome their fear!

This game doesn’t interest me, though. Oh, well!

“I am overburdened.”

I want that on my gravestone! Heh. This is exciting!

This was the big surprise for me! I’m eager to play these games. That trophy in Melee introduced me so long ago...

@kirbygirl Oh, yes, absolutely! Longtime fan; was first introduced to the series in 2005!

Welp, provided this does happen, then... better late than never! I've never played any of those Ace Attorney games, and I'd be way more than happy to finally do so!

Remember, Fortnite players who also have any interest in Tron, it's like the old man said: There are no problems, only solutions.

And I think I'll turn that jingle into a tone. Very nice!

Oh, if only this game actually happened as an RPG. I could’ve fulfilled one of my life’s biggest dreams: interacting with a 2D sprite of an NPC, Principal Strickland.

@Toads-Friend Yeah, that level sure is a rough one. I managed to beat it with every character, but it wasn’t easy.

Before commencing Bowser’s Fury, the Koopa King ate at a restaurant. What did he have? I’ll tell you: Bowser’s Curry.

What if Champion’s Road ends up being tougher than Bowser’s Fury, as a whole?

@reporterdavid I am! I finally finished the Mermaid Set (via Pascal), and I’m still working on personal projects.

These figures are cool, but there desperately needs to be one for Rocco the hippo. He’s been my homeboy for over a decade.

I loved Pinball Pulse: The Ancients Beckon! Brian Blessed!

@KateGray Shoutout to Lego PC games of yore! This was a fun read!

Awww. That tweet referencing Lunar: Silver Star Story hit me right in the feels! RIP Family Video.

@SeantheDon29 Amen to that!

Literally, as I’m typing this right now, I’m looking at a poster on my wall. A poster of “Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney.” A quick glance to the right, and I see my current New Nintendo 3DS, resting on its laurels (as in, a large game case of 3DS games). I’ll admit that I have almost entirely shifted my focus to the Switch, but the 3DS is such an important chapter of my hobby.

I can practically see a montage right now: The time when I first got my 3DS; The time when I finished moving into an apartment, and took a break to play Super Mario 3D Land, as I sat on the floor and rested against boxes; That dangerous time when I was hospitalized, and the 3DS was one of my dependable companions before and after my stay; That night when I was invited to a friend’s wedding, and even though it was the best wedding I’ve ever been to yet, and although we all had fun with the celebration, it happened to be the launch night of Pokémon X&Y, and so some of us downloaded either game at 9PM, since we were in the Pacific; The first time I ever fell in love with Professor Layton; And the night when I drove to a Nevada desert, started a bonfire, and danced a rain dance in order to make a new Kyle Hyde/Hotel Dusk/Last Window sequel happen!

The last part didn’t actually happen, at least, physically. I have begged and pleaded for such a game mentally, for years and years. Ah, CiNG. Well, the 3DS has meant an awful lot to me, and I will always be grateful for it. I’m clearly affectionate and sentimental, as you can tell, but it REALLY mattered so much to me, before the Switch got my focus. With all of that having been said, I still occasionally play my 3DS. And the last new game I ever bought for it was WarioWare Gold.

closes the 3DS, making that iconic sound

@Jhomesjones Yeah, I fondly remember poorly translated lines such as, "I feel asleep!!"

@eltomo Yep! I'd love to see Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis happen!
