Looks like he could shave 10-30 seconds off that judging by slip ups and not pulling glitches off immediately

Used the Mugen battery for the 3DS XL, made it too heavy and uncomfortable to hold, so I'm going to pass on this for my New 3DS xl

Mine worked flawlessly (wireless) but it took SIX hours! WTF was it doing?

My god the transfer is SLOOOOOW....

That's really impressive considering the N3DS has to render the screen twice for the two perspectives needed to form the 3D image.

What a waste of University funds.

A relaunch and refocus on the Virtual Console within the company, getting it respectable.

Does anyone seriously pay those prices for the Angry Bird games?

What the hell? Where's my invite?

@ShadJV the "they" in my statement meant Nintendo. They are still making money off SM64 (albeit very little via the Wii VC release on their Wii shop). It that's the case I wouldn't want fan remakes around if I were in their shoes.

Can't see this getting close to completion without getting a cease and desist letter from Nintendo since they still plan to make money off this game.

That said, I'd like to see a version with a more SM3DW or SMG control scheme. Although it's a great game SM64 controls like a pig compared to those games. Nintendo has made massive strides in getting the controls of a 3D Mario just right since this game was released.

@ootfan98 lol never heard that one before.

@ootfan98 no chance would have been announced already if it were coming for xmas

What an awful week, come on Nintendo, this is Xmas season you should be firing with both guns right now.

Ski bi di bi di do bap do
Do bam do

Bada bwi ba ba bada bo
Baba ba da bo
Bwi ba ba ba do

@maneauleau was thinking the exact same thing, on what planet would that be possible given the install base of the Wii U and N3DS?

@aaronsullivan I'm certainly not writing it off and am hoping what you say happens. Fingers crossed we see some big enhancements over time, I just thought they'd be further along than this demo indicates... looks more proof of concept than 3/4 complete game at the moment.

Looking a lot more bland & sparse than I had hoped. Textures look a bit underwhelming on the rocks too. Bit bummed out having seen this, definitely more last gen than this gen from that footage, shame as E3 looked a lot better.

Wish Captain Toad was released in the UK this week. I'm jealous!

What's the point?

Why do we have to wait for the new year in Europe? Argh!

Ugh! Poor week considering its so close to xmas.

Sadly this is yet another nail in the coffin of ever seeing GCN on the virtual console. If Nintendo ever wanted the release GCN VC games this would have been given a decent production run.

More evidence we'll never see a GCN virtual console

Amazing, I bet the theoretical limit isn't more than a couple of tenths of a second less than that.

A reason right away to get the New 3DS for me besides the better internet functionality

This game looks awful shame I rally liked Sonic: Lost World

Ooo! More Picross, hope that reaches the UK soon

SMW has the secret world within a secret world, that made the 100% all the more sweet, do that again.

Looks pretty crappy from this. Not a patch on Lost World.

SMB's controls aren't that great, they got tightened up a lot in SMB3. Still plays well though.

Not a patch on Banjo but I still thought it was a great game.

Luigi not compatible with MK8? Say what?

Never saw what people raved about in this. Was wowed by the graphics when it came out, but after I played it I just found it tedious and not a patch on Super Mario World. Was always underwhelmed by it. Rare didn't earn a special place in my heart until I played Goldeneye and Banjo Kazooie. I'd rate it 5 or 6 myself.

SMB3 was more influential but SMW was the better game

So does it support 5 GHz wifi or not? Regardless of the reason I'm up for the faster downloads.

Always found Goldeneye the better game, Bond was a better backstory and made the atmosphere that much better

Awesome game, shame THQ lost the licence to WWE/WCW and the series ended

@Goginho that's what I was hoping too, given that people have been running GC games on the Wiii U via the Wii's home-brew channel it shows that the machine is more than capable of running the games. It just sucks that Nintendo seems unwilling (or unable) to do the work to allow us to run them.

And with that projected sales drop to near zero, what was the point?

Time to make sure you have the WonderBoy games on Wii VC if you ever wanted them

This was my favourite game on the N64 and the one that sold me on buying one.

Glad I didn't buy RE: Revelations this week as I was thinking about it

Nostalgia makes me want to pick SMW or SM64 but playing them now side by side it has to be SM3DW with an honourable mention to SMG2 (losing due to SM3DW's HD graphics and multiplayer gaming)

I remember that being a great game, will pick it up

Sucks, may get a PS4 when these are released, these and MSG5 sound appealing

Lot more interested in the game after seeing that (not sold but definitely considering it)

@sinelefa that's UK time I believe as it's 4am in the morning, for the US the Direct is today

Come on SNES remix!

And with that decision Nintendo has nothing that I'm interested in for this holiday season
