When the N64 came out I was too young to have money and too grown up to have it bought from my parents, so I turned to PC gaming first and pirated-PSX some year later. Anyway I was given the chance to see Link and Mario's firsts steps into 3D... and I felt like a betrayer. I remember me playing Spyro (which was a great game) thinking of Super Mario 64 all the time.
Today, even with Mario Galaxy and Twilight Princess I sometimes miss poor Spyro too.
@supernin10do The eShop Settings are ok, but I don't receive notifications for the updates; if I hadn't check up NintendoLife I wouldn't have known about the new E3 videos
Console Wars were much softer at that time, so even if I was totally into the Nintendo thing I used to like Sonic very much. I had a Game Gear and Sonic The Hedgeog was my first Sonic game; the Sega hero was cool, fast, and the levels were much bigger than in Mario games so there was a lot to explore. Great music too, expecially "Labyrinth Zone".
They can't compare the two things; a game console has a certain kind of games that are supposed to guarantee a large amount of playing time, while phone games are just something to pass some time with. I don't think that mobile gaming should be taken so seriously.

Re: Super Mario 3D Land Made for Snacking, Not Gorging
I guess most people hardly prefer something more similar to the original formula: Super Mario Bros. And this is it.
I appreciated a lot the 3D Marios, but I grew up with Super Mario Bros. 3, and this is exactly what I've been waiting for all these years.
Re: Officially Licensed 3DS Headset Revealed, Priced and Dated
Now gimme Skype and a better Music app, or this shiny new headset won't have a reason to exist
Re: Nintendo Japan Unveils Ice White 3DS Console
I bought the black one because I couldn't have this. I'm happy, but this one looks so damn cool...

Damn I'm an Ambassador, and I WANT MY EXCLUSIVE GBA GAMES

Congratulations, I knew you were the best
Re: Rumour: Yoshi 3DS, Super Mario 3D Land Demo and More
Please YouTube, Skype, Twitter, Google+ and Facebook apps! Maybe a "Nintendo Social" all in one app... but please make it real Big Mama N
Re: Rumour: Nintendo Readying Big Announcement Next Month
hmm... maybe 3D Classics - Deadly Towers
Re: Review: 3D Classics: Urban Champion (3DSWare)
I know I may be the only one in the world... but I spend a lot of time playing this game! I think it has great personality
Re: If Fans Speak Up, Majora's Mask 3DS Might Happen
I WANT IT. Majora's Mask is starting to become almost unplayble... it DOES need a remake.
Re: Iwata: "We Must Continue to Combat Negative 3D Rumours"
They can't just say "turn the 3D off", because 3D is included in the (high) price of the console.
Re: Wii U is Technically 3D-Ready
Chuck Norris is 3D ready
Re: 3D Classics Urban Champion Coming to Brawl on eShop Soon
@LTD I totally agree with you when you say SNAKE RATTLE & ROLL
Re: 3D Classics Urban Champion Coming to Brawl on eShop Soon
I don't know... maybe Rygar, or The Adventure of Link.... but I don't feel like they would publish "long" games as 3D Classics.
Re: European eShop Updated with More 3D E3 Trailers
@supernin10do The eShop Settings are ok, but I don't receive notifications for the updates; if I hadn't check up NintendoLife I wouldn't have known about the new E3 videos
Re: European eShop Updated with More 3D E3 Trailers
I wonder why they don't notify these updates via SpotPass! Am I supposed to open the eShop randomly during the week to see if there's any new stuff?
Re: Review: Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D (3DS)
I'll go for REVELATIONS

Re: This GameStop Really, Really Loves Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D
I hate being from Italy sometimes; all you can find here is soccer, soccer and soccer again. No chance if you have any other interests than soccer.
Re: Regional eShops Will Continue to Offer Different Content
Please, more stuff in the eShop and more Spotpass content!
Re: Rumour: Wii 2 to Cost $350, Support 3DTVs, Out in October
At least, Nintendo Wii won't become obsolete, having its own identity preserved in time.
Re: Angry Birds Dev Calls Nintendo Games "$49 Pieces of Plastic"

Re: Feel the G-Force With New FAST - Racing League Screenshots
I think it's time for a Wii F-Zero... or a re-publishing of F-Zero GX at least!
Re: Talking Point: Your Nintendo Christmas Presents
Donkey Kong Country Returns, perfect for a nostalgic one like me!
Re: Review: Michael Jackson: The Experience (Wii)
Just his music, nothing more. The figure dancing isn't even Michael himself...
Re: Mario Jumps Over Flag, Ends Arguments Forever
It happened to me with SUPER MARIO BROS. THE LOST LEVELS playing Luigi, who can jump much higher and longer
Re: Don't Get Too Attached to 3DS Name, says Iwata
@Sean Aaron: I heard someone saying "It's too late now, to me the new Nintendo console will always be Revolution".
Now everybody calls it Wii
Re: Review: Oscar in Movieland (DSiWare)
Totally disagree with the review.
I loved this game on Amiga 1200, I love it on DSi
Re: Nintendo Download: 26th March 2010 (Europe)
"The March of the Black Queen"... "Ogre Battle"... these titles came from the second album of QUEEN!
Re: Gaming from the Heart
Wait.. wait! Where's Animal Crossing?
I think Lost Winds and Another Code should be in the list as well.
