Would have preferred a Wii U entry

@Kirk sadly you are right, couldn't ever see Nintendo giving so much value for such a low cost.

From another site:

"We won't charge you to play the games you already own," said a Microsoft representative on stage at E3.

A little jab at Nintendo there...

Mother 3 has to be coming later for them to bother doing this.

This is my only want from E3...

The volume of figures killed any interest, I had at the start. Only have 3 and don't use them.

All worthy entrants

Ohh, want one!

Think I may get Paper Mario (definite) and Epic Yarn this week

Looking really good! I think I'll be getting this.

@megumi don't think Yoshi's Island was ever marketed as SMB 5 so don't think that can be said.

Announcing Super Mario Bros 4? That game got released 25 years ago. We need Super Mario Bros. 5

As a disabled gamer myself (although not colour blind) it's fantastic to see companies making their games accessible to disabled people. This is not done enough.

So has 3D World out sold NSMBU? It deserves to. EDIT: No looks like NSMBU is approaching 5million ATM

Go! Go! Go! Will be following this with great interest, can't see them missing the final stretch goal with so much time left.

@liveswired How nice of you? Get over myself? That doesn't even make sense in response to what I said. Stop being a troll and trying to provoke people.

@scamander we know a couple of them worked on it (not like that's news to anyone following this). How "key" they were we don't (Gregg Mayles isn't at Playtonic for a start - the key BK guy, we weren't there during the development so don't know and their statements about what they did are vague suggesting they weren't key, just part of the team - which suggests honesty, not taking credit for other people's work - a good thing IMO). What we've seen so far looks very competent and seems to indicate they can manage a project on their own, hence why I've pledged. Don't think this is enough to know this will certainly be great but I'm happy to roll the dice since I loved BK so much.

@scamander umm... why have you directed that statement at me?

It's possible it'll end up mediocre (we don't know how much these guys contributed to the bits that made Banjo Kazooie magic and the lack or originality in the designs/music/logo is a bit of an alarm bell - a bit too similar to BK), but I'll happy to pledge to give them a crack of the whip to see what they can do.

Cool, but way too expensive to even approach being tempting.

Some of Konami's best for memories: http://www.watchmojo.com/video/id/13218/

Exiting makes zero sense when the IP has value, be more sensible to sell off or spin off the games division if they want nothing to do with it anymore.

No Paper Mario? When do we get it?

Remember children, if you're not prepared to lose the investment, don't back it, your money has no protection. We've seen the consequences of ignoring this advice.

Looks like megaman driving in those videos

Europe? Wouldn't mind checking this out used to be a big Warhammer 40K fan as a kid.

I'd have some interest in the 3d classics range if they did them this way.

Sod that! Way too greedy.

@Laxeybobby exactly the right attitude. I backed Elite: Dangerous with exactly that attitude, was fully prepared for it to be lost. Only thing I ever backed on KS.

Not really familiar with this, but to be fair $73,000 pledged sounds really unrealistic to complete a game of this scope (going by the videos). Sounds like the guy in charge didn't have a clue what it would take to bring this to completion. Lesson: don't back anyone without some kind of track record completing a project (no experience likely means poor ability to estimate costs). Can't find anything about Patrick Mathis/Epic Minds online apart from this project.

Some good choices!

"When developing Meme Run, some art assets were taken from content hosted on royalty free image websites like Open Game Art." - given his past behaviour I would't believe this if his tongue was notarised.

Forget them... Buster Gonad from "Viz: The Game", Nintendo can do it!

Now we know IT'S ALIVE!

Doubt it, but prove me wrong.

$70? What a rip off!

Hopefully the swift action by Nintendo means that the N64 VC is imminent on the Wii U.

Neat!

Would love N64 & GCN VC, but doubt it. If the Paper Mario U "leak" turns out true I will be very happy.

@NintyMan come on surprise Paper Mario U reveal at E3.

Sounds like a case of dumb managers who don't have a clue relying on other people to tell them what to do rather than someone with a creative vision guiding the process.

Generic commercial alert!

What I'd like to see is that the delivery of streamed games to smart devices along with device agnostic controllers. Conquer these two things and every smart TV becomes a games console. Hardware becomes irrelevant as the architecture is offsite. All hardware manufacturers become purely software publishers/controller makers as clients do not need hardware anymore beyond their smart device. I think this is the (near) future of gaming and I would love to see Nintendo be the trailblazer.

Good to see how the design has evolved. This does explain the things that have made me feel SM3DW is a step up from SMG (small albeit) when I played it, seeing this makes clear to me why I felt the level design was better.

What would be cool is if you could build something with Lego and then import use it in the game. Wait, that sounds similar to Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, scratch that it would suck.

Sounds like this is a massive wasted opportunity to make full use of the gamepad and hit it out of the park. I think this could have been NintendoLand on steroids if more effort had been put in.

I still refer to my New 3DS as a Gameboy in the house...

"the axiom is that software drives hardware" should be changed to "the axioms are that hype, brand, software and cost drive hardware"

Best Borat impression: Very nice! How much?

Link needs to get his eyebrows lightened. They should use an actor who is naturally fair haired to play him, that guy looks odd because of his dark eyebrows.
