Why no link to the Kickstarter page?

I never thought about how lame the Mushroom Kingdom would feel if you could just walk around obstacles.

@iPlayNintendo That's a simplification, but yeah, that's why it's so frustrating when they call it a "notorious grey area"

Sometimes you guys act like emulation is illegal, other times you link to ROMs and post videos of your staff playing romhacks.

…ok

@GravyThief No, not horrible! Zelda 2 was an experimental game, and it's cool that they were willing to try so many different things 👍🏼

I'm sure you mean composite output, rather than input.

I love that there are still expansions coming out. I played Shovel Knight for the first time LAST WEEK, but I don't have to feel late to the party 👍🏼

This looks AWESOME!
I wasn't sure that I would be interested in a casual runner, but if the level design was as interesting as this mod, I just might be 👍🏼

@2MadAdam814 The NES didn't have an operating system. All the software was stored on the cartridge. When powered on, the cartridge had full control over the system’s hardware.

Can now boot the entire GC library.

Big difference. Headline is way too optimistic.

Uncertainty is no way to bring Nintendo’s existing fanbase onboard. The longer Nintendo waits to reveal anything, the fewer fans they will have left to care.
See alse: Sega Dreamcast

This doesn’t suprise me at all. Their Creative differences have been apparent ever since Mutant Mudds Super Challenge was announced.

I’m curious what the menu will look like, similar to the Wii?

"official, but unlicensed"

I don't think that word means what you think it means.

Why is it “amusing” that Dr. Pepper bought naming rights to a stadium?

It’s always exciting and a little bit sad to find a Game Boy Camera for sale that still has somebody’s pictures on it. I’ve sometimes wondered what it would be like to reunite these pictures with their original photographer.

This is relevant to my interests.

If you already have Dr. Luigi, the only reason to pick this one up is to play on the go.
If you don't already have Dr. Luigi, this one is definitely worth it! Ranked online multiplayer is awesome!

This is the definitive portable Dr. Mario.

“Is Dr. Mario worth it?”

Three words:
Ranked Online Multiplayer!

This video is from the bonus disc that came with Perfect Dark Zero for Xbox 360. Just ripped from the DVD and uploaded to YouTube, not "uncovered from a GameCube prototype."

I wonder if they’ll pull Dr. Mario Express (DSi) from the e-Shop.

Would it be confusing having two Dr. Mario titles that are so similar (plus the Game Boy Virtual Console port)?

I went to the Torrance, CA location.
The high score was set by one of the first competitors. Probably 300-400 people.
By about lunch time there was no line at all. There were several people who had competed in the Nintendo Campus Challenges, and one person who had competed in the 1990 NWC.

Most of the younger players that I talked to had only started playing NES Remix after the details of the NWC had been released, they seemed not to have too much attachment to the game otherwise.

Many people said that they wished there would have been a more head-to-head competition like MarioKart or Smash Bros rather than just a high score to beat.

Just pre-purchased this from the e-Shop.
$8.99 US

@Nico07 @daveh30 $8.99 in the US e-Shop

Am I tho only one who is excited for Dr. Mario?

Love Humble Bundle, and Code.org is a great organization. I will be paying more than the average price, just to support such an awesome project!
I think I now own Guacamelee on every platform.

I have the cartridge already. Would I pay for the game a second time? Not until Nintendo can get their eShop act together.

But if games were tied to my account rather than hardware, and I could play on Wii U & 3DS? THEN it’d be worth buying again

I wouldn’t mind paying a bit more for VC titles if I could buy once and play anywhere (3DS, Wii U, maybe even mobile/PC).

I have quite the collection of VC titles between my 3DS & Wii U, but I worry that it will be worthless in a few years if Nintendo releases a new console with no way to migrate old purchases.

Seems like it has been a few weeks since the 3DS Virtual Console has seen any additions…
(Though Donkey Kong Land was a pretty big announcement)

When “Download Later” software is waiting to download, I now get a message on the home screen (at the bottom of the top screen) about putting the system to sleep to resume download.
How long has this existed?

Wasn’t Kid Icarus just offered a month ago? I picked it up last time it was offered.

Any StreetPass features?

I like the idea, and really wanted to get a theme, but all of the currently available themes are so tacky looking!

I don't mind the price at all, I just wish there were a bit more value

If I could buy a title once and know that I'll be able to play it on any Nintendo platform that supports it, I wouldn't mind paying $10 for an NES game. I just hate that I bought it once on the Wii, again on the 3DS, and now I'm expected to open the wallet once more for the Wii U?

Also, if I could "loan" a digital game to my wife's 3DS, that would again provide more value.

The four buttons on the right just kills the NES aesthetic. I'd have preferred they modeled it more after the SNES controller.

@XCWarrior That’s why games had the Super FX logo on the box. It wasn’t marketing, it was a warning label!

A 3D Classic release of Doom would be interesting. It would be better/easier if they just rebuilt classic Doom from the ground up for the 3DS, rather than trying to port the (garbage) SNES port.
Including the Doom 64 exclusive levels would make this a no brainer for even casual FPS fans.

Just wanted to echo what has been said already: the headline is nonsense.

There is nothing preventing Nintendo (or anybody else) from going after pirates, the new rules just mean that ISPs won't be doing it by default. That is all.

What is ‟High Street”?

This isn’t my style 𝑎𝑡 𝑎𝑙𝑙, but if it introduces more people to chiptunes style music…
👍

The controller is painted, but the plug is not?
Gross!

@unrandomsam I think not being able to use the 3DS as a controller on the Wii U was a big mistake. Having a second screen only makes sense if each player has his/her own.

I think one of the coolest things that could be done would be turn based battle games (like Pokémon), where players select their moves on their own touch screen so the other player can't see. This, of course, isn't possible if only one player has a GamePad.

@unrandomsam YES YES YES!
Why is the screen on the 3DS only slightly different from the screen on the DS? Why does the GamePad have a slightly different screen still?
If they just doubled the resolution from the DS to the 3DS (and maybe made the top screen wider in addition, for a resolution somewhere around 640×384 instead of 400×240 for the upper screen), DS games would look a lot nicer on a 3DS.

It seems the 3DS and Wii U design teams also could have worked more closely together to come up with better cross-platform connectivity, à la the Vita+PS4.

@LEGEND_MARIOID I am in the same boat.

Can anybody confirm (perhaps with official info from Nintendo) that the 3DS supports cards larger than 32gigs?

@allav866 I'm with you; it makes sense for Nintendo to release on the eShop at the same time as retail.

For all the people hoping for R/S/E remakes, is that really what you want?
It seems like FireRed/LeafGreen & SoulSilver/HeartGold were re-released because (at least at the time), those games included Pokémon that couldn't be captured any other way, and Pokémon from Gen I & II could not be imported into Gen III.
Now, if you own a Pokémon game from each generation, it is easy to migrate your dudes from Gen III to B/W/B2/W2. No remakes necessary.
amiright?

@allav866 I really hope the downloadable edition launches the same day as the retail boxed edition.

It would probably be wise to get retrive those images soon, as the batteries that backup the saved game are starting to pass their expected lifespan.
If you really want to save the images forever, I wrote a little tutorial on how I retrieved the images from my Game Boy Camera.
