I have to take umbrage with your first paragraph. The 16bit era translations were great! They were to the point and spun the localized humor the best way possible. A literal translation never makes sense. I know this due to the fan translations of Final Fantasy IV and VI out there. They are horrible but at the same time accurate.
I challenge anyone to play the FF VI literal translation vs the Ted Woolsey original translation.
I can only imagine watered down versions of both games for mobile which makes me believe I won't be interested in either. Why settle for anything less? I'd be thrilled if I was proven wrong.
Need that poochie amiibo and I don't know why.
@Mr_Zurkon Nope, the $99 has been out of stock across the US with no news on when they'll come back in stock.
I dumped hours into this game. I can't see myself getting back into it with this update unfortunately. Would be nice if they made a mobile version of the game though.
No kids and family on a coach swinging a controller around. No touch screen gimmicks shown. It was a great presentation. Makes me want to learn more about it.
@Tsusasi If you're willing to drop another $60 on new items then I guess Nintendo found their market.
@JaxonH Let me rephrase, if Nintendo thinks I'm going to buy Mario Kart again, they'll have to think again. But to state the obvious like you did so well in your post, no one has to buy anything.
I gotta know what the load times are like. If we're going to solid state storage will it be load times like the 3DS (I sure hope not.) or the Super Nintendo (Yes please)
@johnodaz You aren't the first comment I've read commenting on how it looks "cheap" wtf are you comparing it to? The plastics look identical to something from XBOX One or PS4. Is this just a canned response?
Based on the reviews I can understand why it's not selling well. It just doesn't seem like the Mario RPG I'd want to play. Especially with that battle card system.
I wish a modern game would come out using that engine somehow. Think Shovel Knight quality but 2-4 player online Steam Co-op of Zombies Ate My Neighbors.
Still makes me lol that Nintendo is shutting down a fan made project that everyone wants while their BS (Federation Force) is only selling 4000 copies in Japan.
@Grandpa_Pixel It's a component RGB cable (no mods required) for the SNES. Best thing to happen to the SNES in ages. Sign up for their mailing list to get on the next shipment.

Re: Feature: The Wii U's Journey - Four Years of Excellence, Failure and Indifference
Bad announcement
Bad reveal
Bad 3rd party support
Amazing first party games
Still had a blast playing the Wii U and I doubt I'll ever get rid of it. The catalog of Wii and Wii U titles are amazing.
Re: Video: Let's Count Down Our Top Five Best New Moves from Pokémon Sun & Moon
I'm just enjoying the game and not theorycrafting it to death
Re: Fresh Download Discounts Come To My Nintendo In North America
This new Nintendo rewards program blows. And I'm not even saying that as a disgruntled fan.

Re: The First Pokémon Sun and Moon 'Global Mission' Was a Bit of a Flop
It's a mess. Good idea, poor implementation.
Re: Review: Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS (3DS)
I'm hoping for an eShop discount sooner or later for this game. I already own the Wii U version.
Re: Video: Check Out Some Key Features of Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King
Never played any of the Dragon Quest games. This might be my first in the series for me.
Re: Yooka-Laylee Rattles Away From Wii U Release
Why do I get the feeling that this game won't release on the Switch within the next 4 years.
Re: Former SNK Staffers Are Bringing A New Fighter To The SNES
SNES is still the best. I'd buy this simply to support the idea that people can still develop for this system. Plus it's SNK!
Re: Guide: The Best Nintendo Gifts For The Holiday Season (US Edition)
Too bad the non XL 3DS is still sold out everywhere. I doubt we'll see any before Christmas in stock.
Re: Review: Pokémon Sun and Moon (3DS)
I'm a Gen1/2 fanboi and Moon is the first Pokemon game I'm really going to sink into since the GB era.
Re: Poochy & Yoshi’s Woolly World To Benefit From Frame Rate Bump On New Nintendo 3DS
Need that poochie amiibo and I don't know why.
@Mr_Zurkon Nope, the $99 has been out of stock across the US with no news on when they'll come back in stock.
Re: Stardew Valley is Cancelled for Wii U, But It's Heading to Nintendo Switch
So the resources aren't there to release it on both? Seems kinda silly considering the game is already done and would just require porting it.
Re: Feature: Super Mario Maker FAQs - The Key Differences between the Wii U and 3DS Versions
3DS sounds like the Shareware version of the game that they're charging for. I'll probably end up getting it when it's used or $20.
Re: Soapbox: Nintendo, the NES Mini and Ongoing Stock Problems
Never thought I'd have issues finding a 3DS this late in the systems life cycle.
Re: Feature: 10 Essential 3DS RPGs
@razorxkenshin mario & luigi series are in fact RPGs but no where near essential.
Re: Guide: The Best Nintendo Black Friday 2016 Deals in the US
Still on the fence about picking up a TV this year. eek.
Re: Hyperkin Supaboy S Promises Multi-Region SNES Gaming On The Go
That thing is garbage. Don't buy one. The controls are extremely low quality.
Re: Looks Like Nintendo Has A Sense Of Humour About The Wii U's Failure
Some amazing games on the Wii U. Sadly the execution of the hardware wasn't up to snuff.
Re: Feature: Catch Up With the Animal Crossing Direct and New Leaf's Fresh Features
I dumped hours into this game. I can't see myself getting back into it with this update unfortunately. Would be nice if they made a mobile version of the game though.

Re: Michel Ancel Discovers and Showcases Rayman on SNES
Rom dump? Kickstarter to finish it? Anything?????
Re: Talking Point: The Nintendo Switch May Divide Opinion, But It's Made a Splash
No kids and family on a coach swinging a controller around. No touch screen gimmicks shown. It was a great presentation. Makes me want to learn more about it.

Re: Gallery: Take a Look At These Classic Nintendo Switch Joy-Con Grip Designs
All in for the Super Famicom one
Re: Nintendo Confirms Switch Isn't Physically Backwards Compatible With 3DS And Wii U Software
Well I'm annoyed that we'd all have to rebuy Mario Kart 8 and Splatoon. This might put me off from buying the console actually.
Re: You're Not Dreaming, Mario Pikachu Is Officially A Thing Now
I'd love a framed picture of that Mario/Pikachu cover lol

Re: Random: Nintendo NX Rumours From French Media and an Analyst Report, While Zelda Williams Fends Off Anxious Fans
Nintendo rereleasing the SNES with all new first party titles. Confirmed by me.
Re: Video: Get Yourself In The Halloween Mood With This Look At Zombies Ate My Neighbors
I wish a modern game would come out using that engine somehow. Think Shovel Knight quality but 2-4 player online Steam Co-op of Zombies Ate My Neighbors.
The only Zombie game I'd be interested in now.
Re: Random: Behold the NES Classic Edition Carrying Case
Adorable.
Re: Piko Interactive Is Launching New NES, SNES And Genesis Games
Wow the comment section is rough today. What Piko is doing is amazing. Who else is doing this with the same quality?
Re: Poll: Exceptional Graphics or 60fps, Which is More Important for the NX Generation?
a decent looking game running at constant 60fps is far superior to....well, superior graphics.
Re: Video: Nintendo UK Shows Off the Mini NES, With Comparisons to Original System
Purist nerd here, recently switched from LCD gaming to CRT and I gotta say I'm never going back to flat screens.
Re: There's Another HDMI-Ready Famicom On The Way This Year
Gotta know what's under the hood. I can't imagine it being a FPGA sice it's so cheap. Probably still emulation similar to the Retron.
Re: Nintendo Appears at Apple Conference to Announce Super Mario Run
Epic moment, sadly it's another endless runner.
Re: Metroid Prime: Federation Force Flops on UK Debut
Stop producing games we don't want.
Re: Collector 'Metal Jesus' Reveals More About His Rare North American Nintendo 64DD
Did the DD provide any performance enhancements? From what I gathered, it was just a reader for games that could run on larger disk media.
Re: Nintendo of America Issues Takedown Request on AM2R, Ending the Project
Still makes me lol that Nintendo is shutting down a fan made project that everyone wants while their BS (Federation Force) is only selling 4000 copies in Japan.
Re: Metroid Prime: Federation Force Power Bombs in Japan
The game no one asked or and apparently wants (besides super fans). Learn from this mistake Nintendo.
@CapricornDavid I have not seen anyone bash the developers, only Nintendo. Next Level has been paid for their work so don't feel too bad for them.

Re: Hardware Classics: Nintendo Super Famicom
I still use my SNES almost daily. Recently I've been upgrading it under the hood.
It's like my building the best stealth SNES possible
Re: Video: Earthlock: Festival Of Magic Still Coming To Wii U, Looks Prettier Than Ever
Dunno if they're going for the look but it looks like a PS2 JRPG to me.
Re: Italian Bishop Likens Pokémon GO To Nazism, Claims It Turns Players Into "Walking Dead"
Well is he wrong?
Re: Nintendo Download: 18th August (North America)
They can ruin their IP all they want. They can't ruin Super Metroid for me
Re: Hardware Review: Everdrive GBA X5
Does this mean we can talk about SD2SNES in the forums?
Re: Video: Make your SNES and NES Tangle-Free with 8Bitdo’s Retro Wireless Controllers and Adapters
I'll stick with wired. Hate off the shelf bluetooth.
