I bet they will tease a big Super Mario game, however they will announce it as a separate direct. I might be wrong though, however Super Mario is 40 years old this year.
@ManaOwls I kinda agree with you, however I really like the new pro-controller and a wireless Game Cube one. I can't believe also they want to charge people for the 'game' that shows you how it all works....
To cut a long story short, I thought I missed the chance to pre-order this. Then received an email so that I could pre-order, it needed a code to get started and it was being sent to 'junk'
Anyways I've got my order in and I am pleased as Nintendo hasn't taken the money upfront....
@Kazman2007 Back in the day only Europe and America saw releases of Super Mario All Stars with Super Mario World on the se cartridge. It was not released in Japan so that's probably it didn't get reissued.
I hope M3 works on this like they did with the first one, I'm happy that it will come out with Desert Strike though, now I've got to keep an eye out for when pre-orders go live. I'm sure Nintendo Life will let us know.
I am hoping for a release in the U.K (Europe) I was very tempted to order one from over seas, however as a youtuber pointed out the games may not be in English.
I didn't expect this today! They arrived on the store last night and they're not sold out yet. I picked up two. I'm pleased, can't wait to receive them.
Looking forward in playing Sonic 2 to see how that emulates on this platform and playing a few street levels of Streets of rage 2. I'm really looking forward to ordering the wireless Megadrive controller too or I might try using the one from the MD mini....
In some ways this is a good deal, it works out to be about £2.92 a month! if you think how much each game would cost on a VC-Service individually then its about choice. However with the VC service you got to keep the games rather than just 'rent' them...

Re: Random: Uh-Oh, Nintendo's Switch Online 'Expansion Pack - Overview Trailer' Is Generating A Lot Of Dislikes
In some ways this is a good deal, it works out to be about £2.92 a month! if you think how much each game would cost on a VC-Service individually then its about choice. However with the VC service you got to keep the games rather than just 'rent' them...
