@sailornic Same. I wonder if he will make a cameo in this game...?

Being from the US and not Europe, I will (eventually) be buying the game this post is highlighting: Paper Mario: Color Splash. Not Colour Splash. I don't know why someone has to bring this up every time. Yes, the UK spells the word a different way- so what?

PS: not @ replying is intentional

I already have the 3DS version, as well as Tropical Freeze for Wii U. I will pass. Besides, I had I wanted it I would have already gotten it from Amazon when it was first released as a Select due to the 20% off preorders/new releases for Prime members.

$1 for their Free Ballin ($9.99 normally) should get another 10 coins, but who's going to to that?

@Ralek85 Star Fox was on sale briefly at Amazon a short time ago for $26. It's over now, but the current price is still cheaper than digital.

I'll take the free theme as well. Has to be better than any of the platinum reward themes (with the painful music). More themes should be free, or at least less than what they cost.

I don't remember if I ever called the help line- I don't think so- but I still have the maps I made for the original Legend of Zelda. I made the maps on graph paper, and had a couple pages of notes as well. I made final copies of both maps and notes on the library's Apple ][ computer and threw it all into a binder on which I hand-copied the box cover art. The latter was a tremendous feat without looking completely terrible as my fine motor skills have always been lacking.

If reddit is to be believed, they ported it to HTML5 so XB1 users can just use their browser to play NES games:

@FlameRunnerFast That is not the file- that is a link to a forum post that explains how to run the rom. The rom link is above it- a drive.google.com link- and the file it gave me was "Super Mario Run 64.z64". That is an N64 rom file. A patch would be something like "Super Mario Run 64.ips".

What's with the attitude at the end of your post? Even if you were right that is a poor way to end a post (or a face to face conversation for that matter)- it only makes you sound immature.

@Mega_Yarn_Poochy It's currently being distributed as a full ROM. However, I do agree that if they distribute it as only a patch there should be no issue with takedowns from Nintendo or anyone else.

Well, a sudden reveal wouldn't work well at this point because everyone is expecting... something... from Nintendo by now. However, there are other ways. How about clever teasers suddenly showing up in all manner of media- websites of course, radio, tv, newspapers, anything that doesn't require too large of a lead time. Have different ones going, maybe like a puzzle, for a week or two, and only then the big reveal however it goes down (just make sure it's BIG).

I never purchased the WiiU game, so it's possible I might get this one instead. I'll wait until I know more though*

*Another way of saying I can't afford either one right now or in the foreseeable future.

Okay, now that I looked at the direct video, I see I had the wrong idea about the horse racing part. Seeing as I live by a race track, I assumed this to be the gambling spectator sport, but the players are actually the jockeys, making this akin to the racing segment in Ocarina of Time but better.

Still, they could have thrown in Basketball and/or the sport we Americans call football. As DLC maybe?

Horse racing? Surely another sport like, er, the other basketball (I believe you meant "baseball" when you wrote "basketball" in the article?) or American football would be a better choice?

It's nice to see this, but like @PuzzleMaster7 I also got myself a used 25th anniversary copy via Amazon some months ago. I've been having more troubles with the motion controls than when I first played it a few years ago, but I will try recalibrating it to see if that helps.

I am a fan of nonograms/griddlers, but I will have to get the demo first to see for myself how well it works in 3D. I never owned the original.

I only vaguely remember the original Street Fighter at a local arcade, mostly the continue screen. I also remember seeing the long Fighting Street load times on a friend's TG16 (I was too poor to own the CD attachment myself). If you look up Zeusdaz on Youtube, he has several Street Fighter 1 videos of various versions dating from about a year or so ago to more recent, and I think he even said in some of the videos that he owns a cabinet.

Sorry, Alex- I can't subscribe as I don't have a youtube account. Last time I tried I saw a provision about not downloading youtube videos outside of youtube, or faster than youtube serves them, and I can't agree to that. Unfortunately, now that I know it's there, I can't just do the usual thing and ignore what I'm agreeing to, just pretending I am actually only agreeing to click this button/check this box because I have to do so to continue.

Instant miss. I personally can't stand the music. I wasted coins on the Zelda theme which I only used for a day or so. If I have to have the volume off to enjoy a theme, it isn't worth it.

Since I already owned a Turbografx-16 and Genesis, and an Amiga 500 computer, I couldn't afford a Super Nintendo. I did manage to play several of the games though through a friend. He had one of those, you know, illicit devices (console copier- Super Wild Card? Super Magicom? Can't remember which) and so between BBS's and game rentals, had several games (Sorry, Nintendo and game publishers).

The normal New 3DS in NA? Someone mentioned above that it had been sold out for awhile, but this is the first time I remember hearing about it at all. As for the games, LCU and WWHD are no-brainers for me. I had just about given up on a $20 WWHD and had just started playing my GC Windwaker again. Time to hit pause on that and wait for WWHD.

I chose to get it on PC, so I will try it with the X360 controller, but I also just got a May Flash GC adapter for Wii U and PC, so I can try the Gamecube controller as well.

PC version it is, unless included in the next Nindie bundle that is. Of course the NX will be out by then , so Wii U may not even be a part of it.

The Sega Mega Drive/Genesis collection may not be on sale on Steam anymore, but Bundlestars still has a "Pick & Mix" Genesis bundle going on, $2 for 5 games, $3.50 for 10, or $5 for 20. There are 55 games to choose from.

It ends in less than two days though.

I'll believe these rumors when Nintendo's eventual announcement confirms them and not before. Interesting how many comments on Eurogamer are voted down for not believing this as fact, including one just asking for Eurogamer's sources for this.

I sat out the last couple of Splatfests, and would have sat out this one as well until it was announced it would be the final one. I had to take the day off of what I would have ordinarily been doing on Saturday, but I joined in at about noon and stayed until evening. As a B-rank Marie team member (I thought of choosing Callie, but chose Marie at the last minute because I fell under the spell of her sad looking eyes... 8^) ) I won maybe 1 of 12 rounds at the beginning, but eventually won more than I lost.

It's nice that they are offering more money for winning and another way to get snails in lieu of Splatfest. I agree with those that say it would also be nice to get the night versions of the stages in the rotation somehow.

@Shard1 Just wanted to chime in that I am one of those who never got an email though I am on their mailing list.

The TG-16 really should have been more of a seller here. I thought the Play Tours were a phenomenal thing, and I actually won one playing Blazing Lasers. I still have a couple T-shirts from the events packed away somewhere.

I had a TG-16 back in the day, along with a Sega Genesis. Because I already had these two, I never bothered with the SNES though (let the tomato throwing commence).

@fiben1002 I was about to say I'm American and I've never heard of them. Seems like they haven't migrated over here yet, though with locations in southern Indiana it can't be that far off.

Well, I'll just substitute Chick-Fil-A for that one.

People lose their jobs for much less, even here in the States where we supposedly have rights (less every year).

I have nothing to say about this game- didn't back it, wasn't planning on getting it any time soon (maybe once it hits the clearance bins).

Interesting to see such an argument in the comments over review systems, but am sadly not surprised to see some people with "look, my view is right, get over it." Clearly people have different ideas about how a scoring system should work. This falls pretty much in opinion territory despite being number-based which can make it seem like it should be otherwise. 5 is average for you? Fine. 7 or 8 is average for you? Fine. No different than you prefer FPS games, I prefer platform, and Joe across the street just hates video games altogether and would rather play football (whichever sport that brings to your mind).

@SLIGEACH_EIRE The story does explain (the admittedly small these days) link between Nintendo and Ubisoft:

"which we cover out of a sense of bizarre comedic loyalty and to see the latest Just Dance reveal"

I've learned to be patient with these Kickstarter games. Heck, I'm still waiting for SpaceVenture and that was funded 3 years before Yookah Laylee.

Here's a vid for the guy explaining the mini GB color:

Welp, too rich for my blood. I wouldn't wear those shoes anyway- collector's pieces only, and I'm not much of a collector (can't afford it). Might have bought the Duck Hunt hat for my brother's birthday, but Vans just missed it.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE This part worried me too. The way he answered implies knowledge of the actual device. I am hoping though the answer is rather based on the same rumors we know and the actual device is better than he implies.

This was a surprise to see. I've been following MAME for years (since before it was MAME in fact) and have known of ShouTime's support for a long time. I did not expect an interview on a Nintendo-related site, but if he was involved with the Sega 3D Classics Collection I can see why you interviewed him. I bought this day one and didn't realize he was involved.

Face it- we will never be truly happy with virtual reality because what we actually want is the ST:TNG holodeck. Now.

I was team Patrick (don't know the show, but I know several Patricks and relatively few Bobs). We won only 20-30% of matches. I only play during Splatfests these days so I I know I'm ranked too high and as such start at a higher tier than I should.

I still haven't played MK8 since the first week- I literally played only a few races that week then shelved it for some reason. Nor have I played Pikmin 3 which I got free with it. I have to get with it.

@aj_fowl @Mrrabbitpuncher I played the actual games, checked out from my local library. I'll grant that I didn't play them for long, so maybe it gets better after a slow start, IDK. Maybe I'll check out MH4 some time.

Now that the weather's getting warmer, I might stop at the one down the street from one of the places I work. The idea of eating in my car over the winter with the heater blasting was not very palatable- I prefer to eat inside in that case.

A lot of their food is just meh, but they have an interesting selection including popcorn chicken and tater tots. And lemon-berry slushies- yum.

With no kids I have little use for this promotion though.

Well, I at least won't have to clear up any space. I have a fairly large memory card and not a great deal of games installed. However, even if I didn't have the space I decided I don't like Monster Hunter after trying 3 on both the Wii U and 3DS.

@Nintendian I would equate the spinach rather to the hammer in Donkey Kong. The Mushroom Kingdom was still a couple years away at the time. And a minor correction- it's Bluto (aka Brutus), not Pluto.

Annnnnd... It's over:

"Sorry, folks.

Nintendo asked us to remove this site for copyright infringement. I guess Zelda30Tribute was a little too pixel perfect We're sad about that, but we get it. We started this project because we love Nintendo and the joy they have given us throughout the years. From the start of development, we knew this result could potentially happen. Nintendo has every right to protect their IP. No complaints from us, we had a blast working on this tribute and made some friends along the way.

Big thanks to the half million folks who played our game! We learned a bunch and wrote some code that others might learn from, too. We plan to post the project to Github soon, once we've had a chance to remove Nintendo-owned assets.

We both have future software projects in the works. If you would like to keep in touch, please follow us on social media or join our mailing list. We'll let you know!

This was not the greatest game in the world, no. This was just a tribute. Thank you Nintendo for the inspiration!

• Scott and Mike"

Nice. Just played through the first dungeon.

I'm still getting used to the controls- I can't imagine doing this without a stylus though so I am fine with the controls as they are. I don't like the time element though- I am more of a casual player. I know I can just ignore it and go back to it on a replay however. Plenty of time to get all the achievements. Next up is to try the community puzzle aspect. Hopefully I won't find a lot of, shall we say, juvenile puzzles (rocket ships that aren't rocket ships if you know what I mean). I am hoping you have a good filter to keep these sort of puzzles out.

Thanks @james_mueller for the direct link. Just purchased it, and the WiiU LED is now showing me it is downloading it (LED turned yellow). It is nice to be able to purchase and install a game without ever turning the system on.

I am very much a fan of nonograms, and surprisingly this is my first purchase for a Nintendo system though I have many such games on Android and PC. I did download Pokemon Picross, but I haven't really played it much, perhaps because I am not a Pokemon fan. I have meant to get one of those 3DS e-series games, but since I haven't I will congratulate @PixlBitStudios (and NintendoLife) on convincing me to pick theirs up first.

I'm in NA but can't be bothered switching out TPHD right now...
