There's no way in hell I'm going to be paying those pr--oh hey look, FFII Battle Theme. $2? That's not much ... and they have the Final Battle theme from IV? I should get that too...

Allow the trainer into the fights, maybe give him a baseball bat or something. That would be cool.

Three days after my birthday. Well I know what that extra expendable income is going to. :3

All I see here is a sausage fest. o___o

Dear god that Booster Boy add-on is tremendous in its ugliness. It's so ugly it's almost cute.

... Almost. buys one so that she can stomp it in

Referring to it as an Entertainment System would give me warm nostalgic fuzzies, but was that phrase ever associated with the Japanese versions of those two consoles?

Corbie, I'll have my own simultaneous CPP burning ritual as well. Maybe if we can get enough of these going we can summon some sort of powerful demon to eradicate it and its memory from existence.

This article did not discuss how ugly the peripheral is enough for my taste.

..No, seriously, it didn't. Can we just have an editorial about how ugly it is?

Having a misspelled cover would irk me more than any amount of collectability could possibly make up for. Guess that just helps my resolve in not picking it up right away.

Ono ... O yes ...

I've seen what you've done here, Mr. Newton.

If it came with a plushie Snake that screams "METAL GEAR" when you squeeze him I'd be all over it

If you can't be the best, imitate the best, and hope that unsuspecting customers can't tell the difference.

I have three Xbox 360's taped together so I'm gonna hold out on picking up the Wii U for a while...

Assuming you’re not one of the two people in the world reading this who have never played Nintendogs + Cats

Where are you, my friend? You and me got to stick together in these pet-sim-filled days of ruin...

Where are our translucent systems, Nintendo!?

Finally I will be able to fufill my dream of playing a Gerudo thief.

It's quite Paine-ful to see her go. Hopefully this means a new Dawn for Nintendo's marketing campaigns in the UK.

_{please don't shoot me}

It's probably best he got kidnapped in the offseason. They can keep him ransom until training camp and (hopefully) he won't do anything stupid.

Where is my free 3D Classics: Kid Icarus, Nintendo of America?! This proves that you hate us all!

This one is fun just for the relationship between Ephrain and Eirika.

Sakurai: Next Smash Bros. "May Include Mario As a Playable Character"

Because GEHT - Game Expo Houston Texas doesn't have quite the ring?

create an unfair advantage

Because Mario Kart is all about creating a fair experience.

How can you not know what Noburger's Addition is?

Also, I would buy this, if it came out, and it should come out. Why do we have to get the crappy spin-offs and not a cool crossover like this? >__>

Tasty!

There's something wrong with me; I read the header as "Shoot to Trill".

Let it never be said that pirates don't have a sense of humor.

METAL GEAR!?

It's not Sega's fault the Wii is underpowered and has a terrible online distribution service with an archaic download limit. >__>

Luckily for me I'll be getting this one on PS3. Metal Sonic is in it, I can't wait.

I got all my Nintendo swag on their various release dates so no goodies on that side for me. Christmas was dedicated to my Sony consoles.

It makes the timeline completely inconsequential

You ever think maybe that's why they're doing this?

The best thing that has, is, or ever will come out of this timeline nonsense is a thousand butthurt fans whining about how their timeline is better somehow because it might work if they just made this game somewhere and put it right here so the timeline would work.

This game is awesome and easily worth $8 in a vacuum, but ... c'mon, I bought it on Steam for $2.50. :/ I think I've been spoiled...

Can we get a 3DS F-Zero up in heeee~yaaaaah!

I will walk through Manhattan naked on a cold winter's day on live TV if this could just happen.

... Okay I wouldn't but yeah. GIVE IT TO ME!

Well, grumblegrumble, I don't take any nation's currency to make these fancy hats. Can't support the governments that are trying to take control of our minds with invisible space ships and the like. However, if you were to pledge your undying loyalty to my organization we'd be happy to outfit you in full tin-foil gear.

Stand up for peace, truth, and the American Way!

It's a COVER-UP I tell ya! Revisionist history, Big Brother making sure we don't know the truth!

Well you CAN'T ERASE MY MEMORIES! puts on a second tinfoil hat

Also I loved this game, I got it with my GBA for Christmas which was the first in a long string of me being awesome in handheld Mario Kart. :3

Well this is what I got so far.

Super Mario Kart
This is where it all begins, people. Donkey Kong is still a Junior and Koopa races the tracks as Wario has not appeared yet. Depending on the outcome of the Mushroom Kingdom Grand Prix, the timeline splits.

IF MARIO WINS
Mario Kart: Super Circuit
There is no need for Mario to use his influence to change the style of kart racing. Wario stomps on Koopa, rendering him unable to race and guaranteeing himself a shot. Donkey Kong grows up. This split ends because Mario wins too much.

IF MARIO LOSES
Mario Kart 64
Mario is furious at losing the GP on the last lap of Rainbow Road to Koopa. Mario stomps Koopa himself, paving the way for his arch-nemsis Wario to enter the fray. Donkey Kong grows up. Mario's bending of the rules cause him to hoist the Kingdom GP gold trophy. Which leads to...

Mario Kart DS
Mario is thrilled to finally hoist the cup and keeps the rules relatively similar to before. Several new characters join the race. The timline then splits here again depending on how well Mario does.

IF MARIO LOSES AGAIN
Mario Kart: Double Dash!!
Fed up of not winning all the time, Mario decides to incorporate a two-person dynamic into the kart racing, hopefully to give him an edge by pairing up with a better driver. Unfortunately his special attack sucks.

IF MARIO WINS AGAIN
Mario Kart 7
Mario opens another GP similar to the one before. A myriad of new racers joins the game. Mario is severely outclassed by one of the newcomers, Rosalina, and has his mustachioed butt handed to him. Furious he ...

Mario Kart Wii
Introduces racing bikes! Mario had these up his sleeves all the time, knowing that he would have a supreme competitive edge with this new style of racing. However, everyone started picking them, causing him to wonder why it's still called Mario Kart.

... Oh you mean this isn't the MK timeline thread? Bummer...

Oh. Dear. GOD.

This changes everything.

I'll be looking to pick it up once it drops here; it'll be my first Tekken game. Dimensions was my first DoA game and that went spectacular so I'm hoping lightning strikes twice. :3

Does that chick have any expressions other than abject bewilderment?

It's not a bad game by any stretch of the imagination, but it fails to stick out in my mind, and when we're talking about a series with a myriad of iconic moments in it, that just doesn't bode well personally. Still fun to play though.

This looks like a cool game, but as I am a Nintendo fan it is my duty to not buy it so that Nintendo goes back to making Mario and Zelda games I can complain about because they're not making enough new IPs.

I'm calling remakes of FireRed and LeafGreen, hereby referred to as FlamingFireRed and ForestyLeafGreen.

That was not inappropriate at all.

I am totally okay with this. Now if he could only confirm future Zelda games will keep the linear, tighter, more focused feel of Skyward Sword then I'd be really okay.

Shiggy forgot to take his Super Mushroom that day, it seems.

I'm disappointed in the crappy 3D. Otherwise it seems just as good as the PS2 version so I'll be picking this one up since my PS2 hates memory cards and is generally a pain in my cute butt.

Oh Nintendo, y u troll us again?

First with Harry Potter and now with this. It truly is The End.

lol I missed the distinction too. I wonder why they made it if they were gonna release it here anyways.

I totally dodged a bullet because I did the Thunder Dragon piece first and I remember talking to Golo a lot. D: I guess I must have been in the cave and not the mine. Glad I know now and can prevent it from ever happening.
