Hoshino seems to be wearing a cool Sonic t-shirt, I want to see the whole thing!

Very excited for this update, Mania was one of the best gaming experiences I had in 2017.

Oh jeez, can I have that Bloodstained: CotM code now plz?!

I am patient ... but would love an estimated release date!

I would certainly have got this collection on Switch, boo.

If I got the physical edition, would my save from the digital edition work? I know Switch is a little weird about such things.

Regardless, I'm pleased that they're updating the game. It was among my favorites of 2017 - curious about Encore Mode.

NOPE! I'm certainly interesting in playing this (having never done so on Wii U), but that's too pricey. I'll hold off, I have plenty to keep me going!

I’ll be triple dipping on 1 and double dipping on 2, so I’ve certainly been supporting this series.

It’s cool to read about the roles of Sega and Nintendo in getting the games made, kudos to Kamiya for his transparency.

I found it on the iPhone podcast app by searching “Nintendo Power” under “Episodes” - looking forward to giving it a listen!

I would very much like the Hook Shot to return.

Good luck Tom, your high quality writing will be missed!

The original, the Alphas and 3rd Strike ... I keep swearing off fighters, but I might get this!

It's a little too loud a design for my tastes, but I'm a sucker for Luigi stuff!

I've been dipping into BOTW regularly since release, doing sidequests, DLC and finding koroks. I am very ready to see how substantial Champions' Ballad will be!

Sega are missing a few opportunities to make money - Classics versions of their old systems and remasters of the first two Shenmues are the most obvious!

The scale and ambition of G/S has always astounded me, such wonderful games!

I've played one Toad Rally each day since this was released and am still enjoying it. Looking forward to getting new content.

I've managed to collect all the Zelda Amiibo so far, and I intend to get these ones. I don't approve of their apparent scarcity though - it doesn't make sense that this is such a problem for Nintendo in general!

I love the Switch so far; I mostly use it docked.

Its library is limited, but my gaming habits have changed such that I want to play fewer games for longer. Zelda obviously fits that idea and so will Mario Odyssey.

So far, I've only bought Zelda, MK8DX and Sonic Mania. That will be it until Odyssey, I think!

I loved the setting and music, but the camera and fiddly controls made Sunshine feel like hard work at times. I never got 100% because of it just wasn't as much fun as 64 or the Galaxy games.

This is a great report, it seems like a really fun event. The Pikachu plush is sweet.

I wish I could muster up some of my old enthusiasm for Pokémon ... I've bought one of the games in each generation, but haven't beaten the Elite Four since Pearl!

I love the way they function in Smash Bros and how Wolf Link links TP and BOTW, but locking basic content behind them sucks. It'd be less of a problem if the distribution was better - I've had to search far and wide to complete my Zelda collection.

This was my biggest highlight too, and such a pleasant surprise. I can't wait!

This seemed like a nightmare situation, glad it's been resolved.

I've been wanting to get into the DQ series for years and will be starting with this. It's a little annoying that it's coming out just before RE7 and not that long before Zelda, but that's the way it goes!

Regardless of the reviews, I was gonna buy this today to support the franchise and show Nintendo that we want more Metroid. Luckily, the reviews aren't too bad overall!

The comments here have gone way off topic!

I understand Nintendo's position. Our best chance of getting more Metroid is to support the franchise wherever we can. That's why I'll get Federation Force on release, despite not looking the look or premise.

I'm not wild about the visuals, but the music is great!

I'd be happy to play a female Link, but the lanyard tells us nothing. I want one though!

@Grumblevolcano Oh yes, that would be ideal ... but it's not like we have precedent for that!

I wonder why Nintendo don't follow Sony's lead in that regard! Maybe we need to stop rebuying these old games in an effort to recapture our youths?!

@JHDK I was going through my DS games the other day and noticed the mixture of US and EU games. Region locking was one of the biggest mistakes Nintendo made with the 3DS!

Regarding DS games on the Wii U Gamepad - meh. They'd be much better on 3DS.

I would quite tempted by a Zelda one.

Such a great library. I have all three versions of the system too, I love the SP and Micro!

I'm not sure if I've played this or OoT more, but I love both equally.

LA was my first Zelda experience, I was determined to figure everything out without using a guide. It took months and it was so satisfying!

I linked my Club Nintendo account to my Nintendo Network ID last night, bringing me the Stars needed to get this and some random digital tat! I think I've got two items through this before now; the Zelda Collection on GameCube (in 2003!) and the Super Mario 3D World soundtrack in March.

I feel like I've gotten decent value out of Club Nintendo after more than a decade of vigilant registration, but I won't miss that bloody survey.

I tried resisting the trailer, but caved pretty quickly. I cannot wait to play these tracks.

Got my codes! Now all I have to do is run out of work.

"Gotta go, it's a Poké-mergency!"

How irritating, I just looked at the site before checking the comments here! I want it!

BOUGHT!

Nah, that's crazy. eBay aren't covering themselves in glory by encouraging scalpers.

This story reminded me to register my copies of both games (I believe today was the last day of the promotion), so thanks Tom!

The track list is epic, can't wait to get mine. I love video game soundtracks, but haven't bought any in a while.

Nope! Perhaps they've sent out a second wave of emails/that person encountered a lucky glitch? Thanks for the heads up though!

@DESS-M-8 Because I've bought and registered just about every device and first party again shortly after release! I meant to write "almost definitely" though!

@RupeeClock It appears that my money isn't good enough for Nintendo! Enjoy your shiny New 3DS though, I'll just continue to wait ...

@RupeeClock Good call! I tried it to no avail, but it was worth a shot!

I almost certainly meet Nintendo's criteria for this, but I've received no email. Pity, even though I'm more interested in the New XL.

I've always accepted that Wario was Mario's childhood pal, no relation.

The saddle is an amazing addition! I've been quite tempted to order Mario and Luigi, this isn't helping my resolve.

Just ordered Captain Toad, despite having loads of Wii U games to play!

Great to see this being widely re-released, but I'd prefer to see it on 3DS!

Some phenomenal games mentioned, but SMB3 really is the best of the lot!

I'm in the US with my EU 3DS, so I'm getting a friend to mail over an EU copy. Stupid region locking...still really excited for the game though!
