I had found this video to had been insulting toward this past president of Nintendo.

I had learned of the plan to have this marathon for the program before it began and was very interested in seeing an episode of the program itself for the first time in several years (I had seen and enjoyed several of its episodes thus far and would continue to follow it for as long as it continues and for as long as it involves having episodes with soundtracks produced by a certain company named 4Kids Entertainment).

@Mr_Pepperami

Thank you.

@Mr_Pepperami

"Now that’s what I call a shirt."

What shirt?

I had never imagined my self saying "NES" as if it were one word (the first time in which I could remember hearing another voice being used to pronounce it as if it were such a such was while watching a certain TV program named "Extended Play" for a certain TV programming service named TechTV).

This article was not really necessary (it would had been more suitable for a feature similar to a "Today in History" feature for a certain organization specialized in news named the Associated Press, though).

@Don
"I don’t understand why people would throw the game boxes away. People back in the day kept their VHS boxes."

This was probably due to the boxes being nearly the same size or sizes of VHS cassettes.

@Tank207
"I used to keep all my games in their original boxes for the longest time. But constantly taking them out and putting them back in wore the boxes out so much that I eventually just had to throw them away because they were falling apart.

I always wished that Nintendo would've gone the Sega route and went with the plastic cases, those things were cool."

Many folks probably would had been encouraged to keep the packages for video games if Nintendo had gone that route much sooner.

@Shiryu
Did you post that image? If so, why?

I had seen a video of what appeared to had been recording of the "Early Version" and had noticed that it had text of "HOW HOW CAN YOU TRY ?" between its stages rather than "HOW HIGH CAN YOU GET ?" like the "Later Version" and the version made for Donkey Kong 64 (you might be able to access this video of this World Wide Web address: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVyRNoRgOL8).

I had believed a recording of the video I had mentioned in some other messages of mine in this section was uploaded at the address below this paragraph (note: the recording appeared to had been named "Arcade Archives Gameplay - Nintendo Treehouse: Live | E3 2018").

"@gaga64: True, this is first time it is available as a stand alone purchase. I believe the N64 version was the international version? I never unlocked Jetpac:( I think the Wii version only came with the red systems when purchased new."

I had seen some video of the "Later Version" in a live video stream attributed to Nintendo and thought it appeared very similar to the version made for Donkey Kong 64 due to the order of its stages, the appearance of its title in the menu with the words "Arcade Archives", and one of the speakers of the video mentioning an option to skip a certain "stage" in the "Early Version" ("the barrels stage").

@gaga64
"The DK64 version was the Arcade one (not sure which of the 3 versions included here, I’m guessing “international”), and was rereleased on the Wii U as well."

@NerdyBoutKirby

"Miserable manicotti! The Koopa's escaped into a warp zone!"

I had remembered hearing those statements together in an episode of "The Super Mario Bros. Super Show".

@mjharper
"My favorite cartoon for a while when it came out. 4:00 was required viewing time for the Super Mario Bros. Super Show."

Did you mean 4:00 p.m. or 4:00 a.m.?

@DockEllisD

What did you mean by the last two sentences in this message:

"There was so much hype around the release of Donkey Kong Country, and I'll never forget the first time I played it. It literally blew my balls off. Luckily, thanks to Canadian health care, they've since been reattached."

I would had used a better word for describing the "Ash" mentioned in the title of the article if I were its author.

"Have you been watching from the start, or are you a relative newcomer, enticed by the popularity of the recent video games?"

I used to be very interested in watching it between the calendar years 1998 and 2001 (when it was just beginning). I still like some parts of it (mainly the characters named Jesse, James, Meowth, and certain characters named Nurse Joy), even though I had not seen an entire episode of it for many years and not had the urge to watch an entire episode of it for about the same amount of time.

@Damo
I did not understand your response to my question (I was expecting either a "yes" or a "no" to the question).

"The humble Game Boy has long been used as a musical instrument by chiptune enthusiasts, but this latest audio "hack" really doesn't just take the biscuit - it steals the entire jar and gobbles them all down in one go."

Was the author and/or editor of the article referencing what some folks might call a cookie?

@Moonlessky
"Nintendolife seems to be awfully slow with the news lately, also the fact that no news gets posted over the weekends probably doesn't help"

I was glad to learn of the news from this site since this was usually the only site related to Nintendo or news related to video games in general I had been visiting on a daily basis in recent times.

@AlienX
Could you provide some attribution for the quotation you had posted?

By the way, I was wondering whether the name "ClusterPuck" was based on a certain phrase I would consider rude commonly used on the Internet or not?

The rude language used in the video was unnecessary.

"What's your favourite video game-related book, and why?"

I would say one of the "Mario Mania" books published by Nintendo since I had it had helped me get to know the Mario of the Super Mario Bros. games beyond the series itself years before I had access to more information regarding him (for example, it had made me aware of the existence of the person who had created him and the very fact that he did).

@BloodyMurder
Could you also explain you had meant by the word used between the words "Switch" and "just" in that message?

This discussion might be what the "president" mentioned in the article wanted; a distraction from his own problems (along with the possibility of his being impeached; something I would strongly suggest).

@Senpai_Bruh
"So you've never seen a kid get upset losing in a video game or start acting meaner? I've seen it with friends and friends' kids. I'm not implying it's making them into killers, but I do think it can cause changes in behavior. Not always but sometimes."

I had seen persons (including whom you might call "kids") appearing upset after losing such games, but they really appeared to have had changes in their moods.

@Senpai_Bruh

"While it's true that M games should not be played by children and can cause behavioral changes..."

This is not necessarily true in regards to such games.

If there had really been such a meeting, I would consider it unnecessary, ridiculous, and possibly part of a ploy to distract other persons from problems related to the "president" mentioned in the article.

@BloodyMurder

Could you explain the first sentence of the message attributed to you?

@mioraps
"Is this news?"

Yes.

@Shellcore

I had noticed some incorrect and invalid information in the profile of Nintendo at the the World Wide Web address mentioned in this message:

"Really cant take an awards ceremony seriously when it's winners so happen to be corporate members. I get that Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft are all corporate members, but when Rabbids and Injustice 2 get shout outs it kind of soured it a little for me. Don't get me wrong, Rabbids is great; just not strategy GOTY great.

@Nincompoop

Whom or what were you referencing in this part of one of the messages here:

"Miyamoto is losing to Aonuma"

@CuriousUserX90
I could imagine news of Illumination having the person credited for having provided the voice of Mario in the TV programs based on the games named Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World provide his voice for a new movie based on him (note: the person was credited by the name "Walker Boone").

@macedossaulo

"'btw, say goodbye to any Nintendo characters appearing in Wreck-It-Ralph 2' (god, this hurts a bit :/)"

In case you were referring to a certain movie named "Wreck-It Ralph 2", there is still a chance of it having what you might call "Nintendo characters" (note: the chance of Illumination having a new movie based on characters in the Mario games produced by Nintendo completed and ready for members of the public in general to see and/or hear to see this year is not very good in my view).

If this article had been a speech and I was hearing it for the first time, I would had asked, "Who is Miyamoto-san?" (I am sure certain persons who had ever known persons by that name would also want to ask, "Who is Miyomoto-san?" if each of them were to be in the same position).

@Dev
"Toad's mushroom cap confirmed to be a head is what's noteworthy. Looks like the Super Mario Bros. cartoons were wrong, but they were inaccurate anyways."

The idea of the cap being a hat always made sense to me (I would still say it makes sense).

@TheMudHutDweller

"Heh heh heh! Bet this took down His Smugness a peg or two. Top kek!"

^That was not a nice or necessary message.

@Kiyata
Did you ever play Super Tennis?

(note: I had played Super Tennis many times and had always liked it)

@nab1
Thank you.

@nab1

"If you enjoy this, search in youtube "World Record Progression: Donkey Kong" by a channel called Summoning Salt. They have a fascinating overview of DK's record, as well as many other games. Really worth it"

You could had provided an address for this "overview" instead of those directions.

"Robbie Lakeman wins back his title with a score of 1,230,100"

Someone had achieved a score of 1,222,900 points from playing the version of the game included in Donkey Kong 64 years before this new achievement involving what appeared at had been one of the arcade versions of it.

You could access video of the achievement involving the version included in Donkey Kong 64 at the following address:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lekPEle8F8w&t=2s

I did not like the explanation or the site to which it was attributed (I had never liked that site due to the rude language in many of its articles).

"What do you think? Would you like to play GameCube games on Switch? Have you tried one out yet? Share your thoughts in the comments below."

I would had typed "in the comments section" if I were the author or editor of that part of the article.

"Game Informer interview Miyamoto back at E3 and only just now published a portion of the interview where the developer discusses the 1980’s era art for Mario. Here’s what he said:"

Why was his forename (Shigeru) not mentioned in the report concerning the article for Game Informer (the article itself had his forename)?

@ThomasBW84
"Some people are idiots and will lose review privileges, for our part we always do our utmost to respect embargoes. If people spoil stuff online Nintendo has the right to not give them copies in future."

Insulting certain persons is never good.

The image above the article reminded me of a game for Super Nintendo systems named Smart Ball.

I believe the version of the original Donkey Kong game in Donkey Kong 64 was the closest home version to had ever been released by Nintendo.

@EvilRegal
I like that version of the arcade game (the one in Donkey Kong 64).

I liked the sound effect for the reverse (or "rewind"*) feature.

(*the word "rewind" seems to suggest video tape was involved)

"So, Happy 21st Birthday, N64, and have a beer on us!"

I suggest getting non-alcoholic beer.
