@Dr_Corndog I used to buy shareware off a spinner rack at the grocery store. They came in little plastic packs where the front would swing down. I live in the Dallas area, so I picked up full Wolfenstein directly from Apogee, and full Doom from id. id wasn't really cool with it and they changed their policy to no customers allowed. True story.

I earn £96 an hour from home playing my NES Classic Edition, and I never even have to open a Chamber Lid! Learn more at nintendolife.com!

I don't want to even think about Pikmin 4 without touchscreen stylus controls. So much better than the wiimote and chuk controls I had thought were perfect. I don't want to think about SMM2 without the Gamepad.

Wii would like to play!

I was just out of high school when Sonic came out, and it's one of a trio of games I remember playing with my sister (the others being Super Mario World and Donkey Kong Country). I haven't played much since the first two, and for some reason, I lost my enjoyment of the first two until recently. It's kind of hard to figure out how you're supposed to play them, but if I take my time instead of trying to blast to the end, it's fun. I'm really enjoying the Sega 3D Classics lately. Maybe I'll fire up Colors for Wii later, though I didn't much like it before.

PM and TTYD are two of the best games ever made. I have come to despise SPM, and at least SS was a return to 60% of what the first two were. If they'd just add partners and an attack system like the first two, I'd be fine with things. I'll buy this (boycott because you don't want to play it, but the only message Ninty will get from poor sales is to end the series, not go back to the basics), but I'm sure I'll be dreaming it was something else.

@smashbrolink Well, that sounds fine, then. I just watched a few seconds to keep the game fresh for me, but I saw a guy shoot a bird and when he climbed up to it, it was a roasted leg. Maybe he was using a magic arrow or a fire arrow?

@HeroOfTime32 I can't say you're wrong, but I could point out that Link has to be awakened at the start of most Zeldas. He's a really lazy guy until the adventure kicks in!

My only dislike was shooting game and having it turned into a fully-cooked piece of food. Hunting isn't realistic in any game, but if you're going to do it, make Link collect raw meat.

Another Sonic Boom game? Oh shiiiiii-oooot!

Doesn't look bad, really. But. . . .

$9.99? Do you wanna bill the snowman?

I don't even want to see extensive coverage of the new Zelda. Just a small teaser so it's fresh when I actually play it. I'd be interested to see a comparison between the Wii U and NX versions, but that isn't going to happen.

Somehow reminds me of the Coleco Smurfs. I wish they'd given her an attack with a little more range, like a sword or something.

I'd say Minish, but I barely remember the DS games. I think I liked Spirit Tracks a little more. I do like how it tracks the receding of the seas, with ST having an almost completely dry Hyrule.

I'm a little older, so the rumor I heard was in regards to the 2600 Donkey Kong. It was said if you pulled the cartridge out while the game was running, you would unlock the "pie factory" level. Kind of nonsensical, kind of malicious.

This is it. This is the moment when my life truly began. Thanks to that wonderful Koopa, I live today.

Doo doo DOO!

Aww, I guess no more Splatoon ads on the backstop (though they could certainly still buy ad space).

It would go well with a J-shaped ice cream cone.

@Flauber Stay Puft Marshmallow Man says, "My body is ready."

I'd rather it be Tetra, but her cool pirate personality still comes through with that wink.

I was hoping Alex would eat the finished product, but he ruined it with all the salt. I don't think I was called a lovely person, either.

No physical buttons at all? Nintendo are mad. The NX is doomed to failure.

I can't play a console FPS without getting sick, but hopefully it's good for those without those issues.

The 2600 Superman was fun for what it is.

Bagman! Love that unsung hero of a game!

If the NX is truly more powerful than a PS4, Nintendo should team with Valve and make the NX a Steam platform. "Will the NX have Red Dead Redemption 2?" "It will if it's ported to PC, along with a hundred thousand existing Steam titles." And EA being non-Steam with Origin will require a separate deal.

I feel bad that you call this an iconic series and I don't even know about it.

I bought the first Indy and the first Potter before I learned my lesson that these games are not for me. Well, I think I bought a Star Wars at the 3DS launch. Change the characters and locations, but the gameplay is just the same thing ad nauseum. I'm still tempted to try City.

@King_Johobo You'll still need them. Amiibo refills work once per day.

I'm using an old and unsupported browser on my phone--which is my fault, but I like what I like--and this is practically unusable. The big menu bar takes up half the screen and scrolls with the content, so it's always there. Really saw no reason to change, but hey, it's not my site.

A guy does this basically on his own for three-four years, yeah, I can support that with $10. Looks good anyway.

@Alundra-1998 Yes, slopes are there now. You have to shake a pipe for two hours every time you want to place one, and if you stop shaking for even a millisecond, the time period resets. But, it's worth it!

As a lifelong hater of slowdown, I can't join in enjoying this particular "glitch." Still, cool people find ways to get creative with unintended "features."

I don't really get the Sticker Star hate--outside of no partners, it's not as far afield of the first two PM games as people make out--but I just want this to feel just like PM and TTYD. Super Paper Mario is the best game I hate. It was a good game on its own, but thinking of it as a PM game gives me a headache. I'll never play it again. Give me partners, even give me Goombella if you want.

All I want to know is, will this work for Wii games. I transferred them over and can't play many of them. I'd love a wireless solution. Don't care about fight game input lag.

Restore points are a disaster waiting to happen with a game like this. I created one for Earthbound before I really understood the restore point system and I was paranoid the rest of my playtime that I would accidentally restore and lose hours of progress. I'd periodically make a new restore point just in case, but I would have been happier had Nintendo allowed restore points to be deleted once created.

This video lies. I was harshly berated in the street for saying the NX reveal wasn't that far away. It was even implied that I wasn't a lovely person.

I was just playing Mario Maker. Crystal Palace, we're still here! For now.

The title sounds like sarcasm from a world where pirate games are as prevalent as Call of Duty is in ours.

@Danrenfroe2016 Sammy Hagar. He replaced Sonic the Hedgehog as lead singer of Van Halen. Why am I the only one who knows this?

Give Sonic to NIntendo and see what they can do with it.

Splatoon, SM Maker, and MK8 DLC alone mean a good year for Nintron.

@shani If somebody has a horizontal warp pipe to exit an area with a little space behind it, I'm always disappointed if they didn't put a hidden block there.

@BlockPunch Miyamoto was playing it from the editor so they probably didn't even upload it.

I've dreamed about this making it to the US with the e-Reader levels. I might as well buy SMB3 some more.

I really thought the date was the 22nd. The servers were down earlier, but it seemed unrelated.

This infographic is proof that the ancient Egyptians were building Mario levels IN THE REAL WORLD.

I like the level.

50 years from now: "Back in my day, we didn't HAVE minigames on the loading screens (unless we had Namco games, and we DIDN'T)! We just looked at a status bar or Donkey Kong riding on a barrel and we LIKED IT!"

I'm going to buy all 85 and scalp them on eBay. I'll be rich!
