Honestly? I actually think it sounds better. I still think Martinet was fine, but I think his Mario voice has been faltering a little bit ever since Galaxy, and I thought his Wario sounded really off in WarioWare Gold (maybe because he was speaking in full sentences). I personally think Afghani’s attempt at actual conversation in Wario’s voice sounds much more like the grunts and grumbles we heard from Wario 20-25 years ago though, and I think he’s got the classic Wario laugh down pretty well. I prefer the deeper voice that actually gives him strong, gruff, intimidating energy, rather than the high-pitched whiny angle that should be reserved for Waluigi.

@Olliemar28 Ah yes, the critically-acclaimed ‘Man Legacy Collection’.

@stereobread Devil World had a physical PAL release on the NES in 1987. To call it a Japanese exclusive at all is kind of misleading.

I grew up with the All-Stars version, but SMA4 is the definitive edition in my eyes.

1. GBA
2. SNES
3. NES

@Mana_Knight Yes, Bowser Jr. is Bowser’s son (and Miyamoto’s, apparently).

Regarding the genesis of the Koopalings’ English names, that’s actually the origin of their Japanese names, too. In Japanese SMB3, they didn’t have unique names, but by the time SMW released in Japan, they had decided to give each of them the same names that NoA had created.

1. Europe
2. NA
3. Japan

@Zeldork I don’t think it’s a Simpsons reference. Blunder just rhymes with wonder.

More precisely, I’d give it like a 67 out of 100, but for the sake of the poll, I chose 7.

@GinMiguel Mario. I’ve got and played both. Sonic is kinda mid. Nothing on Mania.

BS tracks when

@gcunit I think it was more to do with the fact that his human love-interest just transformed into an elephant in front of his very eyes.

Ultimate Chicken Horse is a glaring omission from Nintendo Life’s current reviews. I used to work at a hostel, and it was one of the games that was in constant rotation alongside the likes of Smash Bros, Mario Kart and Mario Party. It’s also one of my most-played games online with friends today. Honestly, Mario Maker missed a trick not including a game mode like UCH’s main Party mode. Personally, it’s a lot more fun than MM.

@adh56 But only the original is $11.99. Invasion is $19.99, as it says in @PikaPhantom’s comment. Thus, a $7 saving.

@Olliemar28 “but the *gist of it”

@Runo It’s still a Japanese-developed game, I only know like 2 people IRL that have played it. I haven’t met anyone that doesn’t think the voice acting is cringey beyond belief.

This requires paying the extortionate fee for HOME, so no thanks. I’ll leave all my old mon on my pre-Switch consoles, thank you.

…what is ”glothic”? 😂

I’m definitely getting Mario Wonder, Detective Pikachu & Sonic this month, but I ticked Batman too as I’ll pick it up in the future for sure, but I’m unsure whether to wait for a sale or not. I love Asylum & City, but I’ve played the Arkham games before, so the former three titles take precedence for me. MGS3 is a maybe, if there’s a future sale.

Lame that it’s Grass Tera. Should be Ghost or Flying.

I’m sure the ‘middle’ Mario height is just the sprite seen when growing with a Super Mushroom, right?

Guess I’m a poet.

1:18 You spelt ‘Intellivision’ wrong. Not a good start.

5 times so far!

@FishyS @Eel Yeah, Nabbit was already 100% canon in NSMBU. He was literally part of the story, playable or not.

@-wc- I don’t agree with your opinion of the game, but I do agree that it’s odd that the review neglects to mention that some of the mechanics debuted in X and GX. I thought the same thing before seeing your comments; it reads as if they’re brand-new features to the series.

Nobody has realised that the ‘buzzwords’ at the bottom of the Japanese cover are the exact same words that are said in the television advert for Mini Mario during the game’s intro?

Either way, I think NA/EU’s is probably better.

@Giancarlothomaz Metal Mario has been around since ‘96, and has been playable in other spin-offs such as Golf and Dr. Mario, so he at least has some connection to the actual main series. I’m assuming PG Peach, Peachette, etc are part of a push to include more playable female characters in the franchise, such as Toadette and Daisy in SMB Wonder. Even Smash has had its percentage of playable female fighters shoot up in recent years.

Having fun, found 5 shinies so far, 2 of which are Geodude and another being Graveler 😐

That Zelda Dungeon description above is actually incorrect. Golden Apples heal an entire heart more than a standard Apple, not just half.

I’m over 400 hours in, and while it’s definitely a 9/10 game at least, I still feel like BotW is better, as others have said above. I got that feeling only like 15 minutes in, and the more I play, the more convinced I am of that. I’ve played through BotW 5-6 times, but I’m not sure if I ever see myself running through TotK again - it’s nowhere near as replayable.

I grew up with the SNES versions, and I prefer them to the NES originals, but the GBA re-releases are by far the best.

@Liam_Doolan The series also has *two special tracks and a kart in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

17 out of 17 😎

@Liam_Doolan It may not count as an actual, proper announcement, but the official, verified nintendoinspired Instagram, run by Nintendo of America afaik, has uploaded both a post and a story about them, stating that they’re set to release on the 30th of June, the same day as Japan.

Is this the shortest NL article ever?

A stark contrast to the message I received from my brother about him - “Have you seen that ****end holding the sign everywhere?” 😂

@JimNorman Felix Sanchez says - “my favourite area in the whole game is the Gerudo Dessert”

What flavour is it? Chocolate? Strawberry? Vanilla? 😉

Crystal Chronicles is still the only one I’ve ever played (aside from FF1 for all of about 3 minutes), and I never got that far into it at all.

Only got question 6 wrong, as I haven’t played any of those games.

The red OG 3DS, which I traded in for the Pikachu XL; the Majora’s Mask new XL; and the blue PKMN X/Y edition, the last of which I only ever turned on to format its data, and then later sold to a friend.

@Solomon_Rambling I’m sure all of the microgames were ported, but yeah, I think some of the subgames may have been lost in transition.

@Solomon_Rambling The GCN version has the single-player portion intact though.

@Bobb Came here to say the exact same thing lol. It’s also far from the best entry anyway, as the ranking itself states.

Also, I’m shocked that Mega Party Game$! and Smooth Moves are so low, when they by far had the best multiplayer experiences. In my mind, the former is just a vastly enhanced version of Mega Microgame$! too, which is ranked #1 here, so I’m putting this down to less people having played the GameCube instalment.

@Olliemar28 “This time, he's got his very own sidekick in toe with Tails”

in *tow?

I’ve never played Yoshi’s Cookie, Topsy-Turvy, or (despite owning it), Safari. Yoshi’s Story is maybe the worst game I’ve ever spent money on, and Crafted World sucks. The rest range from decent to great.

@Shepdawg1 Same in Legends Arceus too.

I’ve always thought of it more as Game & Watch/NES, Game Boy/SNES, GBC/N64 and so on. Each generation’s handheld/home console release dates match up more closely that way, with each generation’s handheld debuting first, followed by its home console counterpart. Also Virtual Boy just realistically is not a handheld, it doesn’t come into this equation.

It is Toon Link. ‘Cat-eye’ is a descriptor; if an official Nintendo book described Paper Mario as ‘wafer-thin Mario’, that doesn’t change his name from Paper Mario. Besides, ‘cat-eye’ not being capitalised is a dead giveaway that it’s not the character’s name or title. Silly question.

@Tober No. You can see that the toys are modelled after the characters’ movie appearances, and the Japanese text refers to the movie. The movie’s logo is even in the corner of the leaflet.
