At first I kinda didn't like it, but after going through all of the announcements again, there is a lot of stuff I want.
I just wish they got the more samey stuff out of the way all at once, I didn't need to see a lot of the "Headlines" again, and they kinda killed some hype halfway through.
It always seems to be an unpopular opinion, but I didn't like the added characters in Super Mario 64 DS.
They basically cut Mario's abilities into thirds and made Luigi and Wario. I always thought it was clunky to have to switch characters just to do something Mario could have done himself in the original game.
I really wish there was more quality control for eShop games...a player can't even finish the game and yet it got released without issue? Doesn't make any sense.
Well-deserved score. Still the best Mario platformer in my opinion, followed closely by Super Mario Sunshine. The Galaxy games are great, but I feel like they lacked the freedom of 64 and Sunshine.

The Nintendo Life eShop codes, if I buy them, I get the code immediately?
Re: Review: Pokémon Puzzle League - A Thrilling Puzzler And A Heavy Nostalgia Hit
This game is an absolute masterpiece.
That IS nostalgia talking a little bit.

I have the sadness
Re: Gallery: Feast Your Eyes On Metroid Dread's Special Edition
I'm glad this comes with a standard case and a steelbook.
Re: Review: Castlevania Advance Collection - Utterly Essential Thanks To Aria Of Sorrow
@CharlieGirl
I kinda expect Limited Run to do it at some point, since they did the original collection as a physical for Switch and PS4.

@RedRaven723
I wouldn't say it's required to play the first one before II, there are some callbacks, but it's like 99% standalone.
I will say the first is very good, though. I'd recommend playing both, but playing II first isn't going to be detrimental to your overall experience.
Re: Rumour: Could Monolith Soft's Website Be A Hint At A Xenoblade 3 Nintendo Direct?
I'd try to look into the future to see if this is true, but I can't find my Monado anywhere
Re: Poll: What Did You Think Of Nintendo Direct At E3 2021?
At first I kinda didn't like it, but after going through all of the announcements again, there is a lot of stuff I want.

Overall, I gave it a B.
Re: Feature: Nihon Falcom's Trails Of Cold Steel Rivals Game Of Thrones In The Worldbuilding Stakes
I love these games. Can't wait for the next one to be localized.
Re: Poll: What Other Nintendo Franchises Would You Like To See Niantic Work On?
Mobile games in general don't interest me. Pokemon Go is fine, but I can't see myself getting invested in another game like it.

Hello, gamers.
Re: It's Time to Claim Your Nintendo Account User ID for Nintendo Switch
Of course someone already took my NNID. Had to add a dash.
Re: Fire Emblem Game's Development Outed By Voice Actor
Hopefully something for the Switch.
Re: Retro: Freshly Translated Interview with Miyamoto Delves into the Development of Super Mario 64
I believe that it has aged well, and I prefer the original game to the DS remake by far. I still play it once a year, since it's my favorite game.
Re: Talking Point: What Approach Should Nintendo Take With Its NX Reveal?
I'll take anything at this point.

Re: Feature: Team-Based Super Smash Bros. Format, The Gauntlet, Aims to Transform the Competitive Scene
I find it hilarious that Donkey Kong is the only one being hit in both of those screenshots.
Re: Western Localisation Of Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Features Costume And Age Changes
I highly doubt that Atlus are behind these changes.
Re: Poll: Which Nintendo Franchises Do You Most Want to See With the NX Launch?
I just want to know what the thing is.
Re: Random: Check Out the Most Expensive Super Mario Watch in the World
Wouldn't buy it for ten dollars, it used the wrong colors for Mario.

Would love those Starfy games...
Re: Random: Excitable Fans Face Disappointment When Nintendo Does Twitter Wrong
Why would people think that was an announcement?
Re: Review: Mario vs. Donkey Kong (Wii U eShop / GBA)
I actually still find this game to be the best in the series with the Mini Marios. I like the newer ones, but never quite enjoyed them as much.
Re: Freedom Planet Release Bound by Bug
The game is fun. I'll get it when they get everything fixed up.
Re: Splatoon's Next North American Splatfest is Detailed
Uhm, can I just have some pizza?
Re: Review: Final Fight One (Wii U eShop / GBA)
The guy on the right of the box art looks like Joey from Friends.
Re: Review: Santa Factory (Wii U eShop)
I really wish there was more quality control for eShop games...a player can't even finish the game and yet it got released without issue? Doesn't make any sense.
Re: Video: This Official Art Academy Timelapse of Mario and Luigi Should Warm Up Your Summer
They used the Luigi art from Mario Party DS as a reference.
Re: Feature: Nintendo Franchises We Want to See at E3 - Pokémon
Eh. I'm half expecting Z to be there, but I hope they don't spend TOO much time on it.
Re: Review: Super Mario 64 (Wii U eShop / Nintendo 64)
Well-deserved score. Still the best Mario platformer in my opinion, followed closely by Super Mario Sunshine. The Galaxy games are great, but I feel like they lacked the freedom of 64 and Sunshine.
Re: Gone Home Console Versions Are "Not Actively in Development Any Longer"
I guess it's gone home.
Re: Reaction: Pokémon Shuffle Isn't Quite Microtransaction Hell, But It's Getting There
Ugh, can't believe Nintendo is doing microtransactions...
Re: Rumour: Code Name: S.T.E.A.M. Demo To Be Distributed Via Gamestop Stores
These are only being distributed to GameStop employees at the moment.
Re: Review: Mario Party Advance (Wii U eShop / Game Boy Advance)
Not my favorite Mario Party game, but it's still more fun than 9 in my opinion.
Re: Video: Early Sonic Boom: Rise Of Lyric Footage Hints At Game-Breaking Bugs
Video was taken down by copyright claims.
Re: Mega Steelix and Mega Glalie Confirmed for Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire
I feel like I'm the only one who really doesn't care about Mega Evolutions.
Re: Review: Frederic: Resurrection of Music (Wii U eShop)
This is the second game I've heard of that stars Frederic Chopin. The other is Eternal Sonata and that looks to be much more entertaining than this.
Re: Nintendo Download: 26th June (North America)
Looks like you guys need 3 more doll puns.
Re: Feature: Our Top 10 Wii U eShop Games - Summer 2014
Counting only games I got on the eShop, (I have Ducktales on PSN), NES Remix 2 is the best, in my opinion.
Re: Review: Pushmo World (Wii U eShop)
I cannot wait for this game.

I'll pick this up sometime.

Am I the only one that thought Rusty was a cat?
Yes? Hm.
Re: Super Smash Bros. Direct Will Bring the Hype on 8th April
@ThomasBW84
Pizza, caffeine, and Smash Bros.? Sounds like a lot of fun!
My 5:00-6:30PM class on Tuesday is going to be a longer one than usual, it seems.

Hits ball
ANOTHER Water Hazard? Dang it...
