This is one of life's hardest questions. For me it is between, A Link to the Past, Super Metroid, Secret of Mana, Earthbound, and the one no one expected, E.V.O. The Search for Eden.
The SNES is still probably my favorite system, it introduced so may good RPGs, A Link to the Past and of course shoulder buttons! I feel like sitting down and playing Super Metroid now
@Shadowflash You should pick up Rayman 3D, it is a remake of one of the best Rayman games. If you don't care about graphics and want the same game you can pick up Rayman 2 the Great Escape for the N64(and others) or Rayman DS. They are all the same game.
Besides the awful box art, this game looks really good. As long as it isn't too short and doesn't have tonnes of glitches, this could be one of the 3DSs best 3rd party games.
@sontuk The NES had a redesign as well, it is much more rare than the mini SNES.
This wouldn't make me want it. SSBB is much better with the GameCube controller in my opinion. What about all the Wii cases that say the game will work with a GC controller?
They could have made a 2D game that looked like Kirby and the Crystal Shards. Where everything is 3D but you can only move on the X and Y axises. They also could have made something like Perfect Dark or Goldeneye, but that means Prime wouldn't have been as good. So I am happy with the way things turned out.
I checked Tesco and it is still full price, I asked the guy at the game counter and he said he had no knowledge of any stores lowering the price until tomorrow.
I'm gonna pick up Strikers and Punch-Out. The only reason I haven't bought Strikers is because I played it a lot at a friend's house, and I borrowed Punch-Out, but didn't feel it was worth $40-$50.
@AlexHighwind I don't think Metroid Prime would look all that different on the 3DS, if any Metroid game was remade, it should be Super Metroid with Other M graphics. Since the 3DS really is lacking in good original titles, a brand new Metroid (hopefully a Prime) would be best.
This game was my biggest rage quit. I died 10 times at the Boost Ball Guardian and stopped playing for a few months. It seems that the the boss is random and I was getting unlucky, I had a friend who beat the game twice try it and he gave up on my file. I finally beat this game and it gave me a real sense of accomplishment.
I'd really like to get the Metroid Prime Trilogy for the Wii just to see how much easier the Boost Ball Guardian and Chyka are. since they were made easier in the remake.
If you want a true challenge, pick up the original GameCube copy.
My first Metroid game was the original. I originally couldn't get past Ridley. I finally beat the game after learning the Justin Bailley and NAR Password cheat. I really got into Metroid once it came to the GameCube. I was instantly hooked on playing Metroid Prime. The realism of having water droplets and fog on your helmet's mask were amazing. I have beat them all (including pinball) with the exception of Return of Samus and Super Metroid.
If they are are only doing one European show, why not make it somewhere in central Europe, like Vienna. There are some huge theaters and Opera Houses there.
What an idea, taking your time to get the best possible result! As for the PS3 and XBOX 360 predecessors, I don't think they will sell to well unless they are cheap and they have some stupid accessory that is different from anything else on the market.

@xDemon720x I I didn't like Mario Kart Wii's logo either until I found an image with out the wheel. The name is ok, I still would prefer Mario Kart 3D but the 7 looks like 007 so it looks cool.
All is forgiven Iwata-san. It's nice that he took time out of his crazy schedule just to send us an apology. I think I have easily gotten $80 worth of fun out of my 3DS, so I am not really upset (especially since I got my Wii brand new for $100 less than the retail price )
The title and rating say it all. This would have been a great game if it had more content and came out right when the motion plus came out. Also I think it would have helped sales to include the red controller in the US bundle.
This is called my worst nightmare, NINTENDO CANNOT DIE. What else could I so with all those extra hours when I am not working? Seriously though, this is serious, the only original game company from the original console wars that still makes consoles can't end. A huge part of me would die, mostly my inner child and sense of imagination
How many people can make you feel like you are actually the Hero of Time and then instantly transport you to a devastated land filled with Metroid and Space Pirates. Nintendo is what makes everything ok at the end of a hard day. They have been truly loyal to their fans for over 25 years and I honestly don't think it will end anytime soon.
Oh Nintendo, you used to have the highest quality game systems, and then the DS family came along with its hinge issues, the Wii has issues with the laser and now the 3DS. Good job Nintendo.
@Kevohki Tasuki is correct, Temple of Doom is the prime reason for the PG-13 rating.
I wouldn't mind another Gremlins movie, but the originals are classics and should be left alone. It's funny that when you mention Gremlins the first thing that comes to my mind is Gremlins 2 for the NES, that was a great game!

Re: Rune Factory: Tides of Destiny Crashes In Next Month
I'm gonna pass. I have played way too much Harvest Moon. I can't play this kind of game anymore, it is too tedious.
Re: Review: My Asian Farm (DSiWare)
The name is a fail. I laughed so I hard when I was browsing the eShop and saw this.
Re: Wii Owners Encounter Xenoblade Disc Read Errors
I never had issues with any particular game, the laser just slowly stopped reading my games. Does anyone know if the newer wiis have a better laser?
Re: Check Your 3DS Ambassador Status Now, North America
I can't wait for my 21 free games (You can play the original Metroid on Metroid Fusion) and then Four Swords later on!
Re: Talking Point: What Was the Best Super NES Game Ever?

Re: Rayman Origins 3DS Screenshots Look Good, Don't They?

Re: First Photo of New Look Wii Console
Now you won't be able to play all the VC games with buying a classic controller, which may be a reason Nintendo did that.

Re: Wii Budget Range Grows with Super Mario Galaxy and More
When will Wario Land Shake get a price drop in North America. I will pick up Punch-out and Strikers, I already have the other 2.
Re: How Do Bowser, Toad and Luigi Really Feel About Peach?
I liked it. I thought it was clever. It was also nice that it was clean.
Re: Super Mario 3D Land's Logo Still Has a Raccoon Tail
The name seems weird. I would prefer Super Mario Land 3D but that might imply that that it is a remake.
Re: Download More New Solatorobo DS Quests Now
I have seen this game at quite a few stores but I am going to wait for the NTSC version.

Re: Koizumi Talks Super Mario 3D Hub, Caps and Replay Value
I feel like this was a dumb move on Nintendo's part, they should launch a few new games tomorrow with the price drop.
Re: Walmart Already Selling 3DS for $169.99, But Be Quick
I wondered if anyone would do this. I don't mind the price drop, but this is just not cool.
Re: Rumour: Punch-Out!! and Three Marios Join Nintendo Selects
I'm gonna pick up Strikers and Punch-Out. The only reason I haven't bought Strikers is because I played it a lot at a friend's house, and I borrowed Punch-Out, but didn't feel it was worth $40-$50.
All of these are worth the buy.

This game deserves nothing less than a 10! I love the beginning on the Space Pirate Frigate. I love scanning all the pirates.
@UncleWolf You can pick it up for $4 or less at Gamestop.

Re: Nintendo Download: 4th August 2011 (North America)
@LTR You can find it online but it is illegal and very easy to get viruses from download sites.
I love Mario's Picross. I wish they would release the 2nd one outside of Japan. If they don't I'll probably import it someday.

I'd love to see Mike Tyson's Punch-Out, but I doubt they could re-elease that. If anything expect Punch-Out (with Mr. Dream).
