@Kirk: Yeah, I'll agree with you on that!

@Kirk: Not saying it's flawed in any particular way. I'm just saying the retro factor counts a LOT for people who grew up with the classics. If all Mario-games were released for the first time tomorrow as brand new games - looking, playing and sounding exactly as they were it their time - no way would SMB get as high as 10th place.

But again, my opinion and I think I'll leave it at that!

@Kirk: Well, that's where we'll have to agree to disagree... I mean, not many people today will pick up Super Mario Bros for the first time and agree it's "basically flawless". Myself, I can only play it for max 30 mins before it's enough for a couple of weeks/months...

But again, it's just my opinion, and I respect others' may differ!

As always, blinded by retro glasses.

I mean, I LOVE classic Mario, but for instance saying the original Mario Bros. game is a "better" game than, say New Super Mario Bros.1 + 2 is just stupid. It might have been a more important game in it's time than NSMB2 was when it came out, but now it's time has passed.

Same goes, partly, for Super Mario World. The only one of the "classics" that can still be considered a great game compared to modern games is Mario 64. That's my opinion anyways.

Pushing out the crap Castlevanias before the GBAs...

(Yeah, yeah - flame on! )

What a crap week! Not even any interesting eShop indies or GBA VCs. At least I have Stealth Inc 2, Costume Quest 2 and Un-Epic I got last week.

The same thing as always; People complain about lack of adult & 3rd party games - and when they appear, no-one buys them. Just accept that Nintendo-produced games + eShop indies are what we'll have on WiiU and be satisfied - I am...

Buy a PS4 or PC for the other stuff. (Yeah, XB1 left out on purpose )

Hmm, the Game Overview says Players: 4. Wasn't this confirmed to have 8 or 9 players?

People "demanding" this should be on WiiU are abit like those people demanding Bayonetta 2 on PS4 / XBox1. It's a lost cause.

Devs must go where the money is, and right now it's NOT on WiiU. If this thing happens at all, it'll be on PC and/or Sony/MS consoles first. There's no reason at all this should be on WiiU, even though the "spiritual successor" was a Gamecube game.

Also, people keep asking for more adult / harcore etc games on WiiU, but the thing is - you guys don't buy them! (And neither do I - but I'm happy with just Nintendo produced games The other stuff I get on PS3 (soon PS4) or PC.)

Insta-buy as expected!
Loved the first one on PS3, been waiting for this!
And with Captain Toad + Mini-Marios WiiU + Trine Enchanted coming, this action-puzzler loves his WiiU!!!

This is an AWESOME game! Just finished it and the bonus chapters yesterday. For me, it's a 9/10!

@Rawk_Hawk Showing a shoe and a Zapper COULD point to Gumshoe...

50 new color choices for Pac-Man.

@SahashraLA It's released on the N64 so it's a N64 game. And as long as it's one of the 64 best games on the N64, it belongs on the list. Saying anything else is ridiculous.

Oh, and wasn't the Dreamcast some obscure console that only fanbois remeber that made a once-great console-producer close down it's console-division? That would make the N64 version more important, no?

@FritzFrapp Have you seen what Sony charges for avatars and wallpapers on PS3?

Don't care what they do, moving Abe around is still like controlling a snail covered in glue - not gonna get this one either. Hated the series since the first one - but that's just me...

@mjhopkins81 Yeah, what he said!

@WalupeachyTime Because Pac-Man and Space Invaders are thought of as singular games in the minds of non-gamers but Sonic and Mario are recognized as characters from a series of games?

Because only the "original" Pac-Man and Space Invaders are iconic like Sonic and Mario?

Because... who cares!? Didn't seem odd to me.

Stealth Inc 2 is a day 1 purchase, Lone Survivor & The Swapper are maybes for now... Thomas is a no-go, hate the gfx.

I've got a normal XL already but I'll of course get the new XL too. The faceplates are fun for like 5 seconds, the larger screen stays with you for ever (or as long as the console lasts anyway)..

@Don Would YOU prefer Super Mario Bros GBC, Brain Age DS and Game & Watch Gallery 3 over the 3 GBA Castlevanias? Crap games are no comfort for missing out on classic awesomeness!

I've played SMB GBC and Brain Age like ONCE each, might as well delete them to save some MBs. And even though I loved my 2-screen Donkey Kong when it was new, I'll never buy a G&W game/collection these days. They're fun for like 30 secs then you play something else...

Looks GREAT, can't wait for this one. LOVE the art style!

He just discovered emulators...

I'll get Affordable Space Adventures, Chariot, Costume Quest 2, Shantae(!!!), Shovel Knight, Stealth Inc 2 and XeoDrifter for certain, and a maybe for Woah Dave! and The Fall.

Looks fun, wil definitely get Paper Monsters Recut. Have to see a bit more from Gears, but with a sub $5 pricetag is almost certain I'll get that too...

Zero Suit Samus! Please!

Nothing! 2 weeks in a row. Are we going back to those early days, Nintendo?

@Stu13 Only Americans care about crap like that, just like seeing a boob on TV. To the rest of the world, it's just another word. "F-bomb" indeed - it might just kill you to hear it!

I looked up all the games on the list on YouTube before reading the article, and Cannon Dancer and Charlie Ninja were the ones I noted to test in an emu. There rest were rather meh...

Would love to have them on WiiU as nothing beats playing classics on Nintendo consoles.

I've been back and forth on this one, but I won't get it now... Too bad Miyamoto made them stop developing a Zelda-game with Warriors elements, that would've been much more appealing (to me) than the other way around. Started hating the Warriors-series after 5 minutes of Dynasty Warriors 2 on PS2...

Does anyone know how the WiiU-tables compare to PS3? Do they have higher resolution? I've got ALL tables up to Walking Dead on PS3, but now I'm considering starting to buy the WiiU tables instead. Too bad I can't move my entire collection from PS3 to WiiU.

And yeah, Nintendo-themed tables in Zen 2 would be AWESOME!

@Mega719 I want more Marvel characters, couldn't care less about Star Wars!

Getting this today!

Bergsala is a crap distributor and there's practically 0 Nintendo-presence in stores / media here in Norway. Can't see why we can't get Club Nintendo in Scandinavia too. Bergsala blames Nintendo on their pages but I don't know...

Will get Teslagrad, both Oracle Of... games, Super Mario Ball, Links Awakening and the Wooden Sen'Sey demo. Got Link to the Past & Minish Cap already, otherwise I'd get them too. Now THIS is a good week Nintendo!

Will get this the day it launches in Europe. These small eShop games are so cheap that I insta-buy them all if they get a good score just to support Nintendo/devs!

Will get this for WiiU as it's supposed to outperform PS3 / X360 - and I won't buy PS4 for another year or so. Currently inFamous is the only title I want on PS4.

Too bad, wondered who made that bad (IMHO) decision. I would rather have a Zelda game with Warriors elements than the other way around. Probably will get the game either way, but a more typical Zelda game with dungeons and exploring AND huge battle scenes would be an insta-buy for me. But... can't always get what you want I guess... :-/

Getting this day 1! Loved the first one on PS3!
And everyone who DON'T buy it, loses the rights to complain about few games, lack of 3rd-party support or no mature games on the WiiU.

@HugoSmits Hey Hugo, will get this the second it releases. Thanks for your games, LOVED the first one!

Don't know/care much either way about the peaches. He should definitely be making another Earthbound though!

@IxC Well, you got ONE thing right... you're sad!

Seriously though, to me all your arguments seems to boil down to not being able to buy the DLC on the future retro Wii U in 10+ years... You really think that's gonna be a big concern for anyone? Plus it'll probably be available digitally on the eShop equivalent WITH all content, don't you think!?

Anyways, as countless others have said, if you don't like it - don't buy it! Your retail game is COMPLETE, this is just EXTRA stuff!

@Legromancer luke88 concurred with G0dlike that it was £11 well spent. That means he agrees, so yes - he thinks it's great. Also "half the vanillas game content"... I get what you're trying to say, but you're not quite there.

Ok, flame on!

Oh, and this is GREAT STUFF, Nintendo!!!

A bit torn over this. On one hand it looks great and has tons of cool stuff from the Zelda universe - on the other hand it's (possibly) a repetitive button-masher. Hmmm......

I thought ColecoVision was crap even back then, so no thanks for me...

@BearHunger Yeah, really weird how they try to give their products an attractive packaging. Almost like they WANT to sell their products! REALLY weird!

@S3OL Yeah, me too. Wanted to like it but when I saw it in action...

I've got Luigi U and both NES Remixes, but if this trend continues I will have be more sceptical about buying Nintendo eShop-releases on day 1 as I prefer physical copies. And I don't think that's the way to go for Nintendo.

In the Nordic countries we got a terrible Nintendo-agency in Bergsala AB. There's practically zero Nintendo-presence compared to Sony and Microsoft. Add to this we haven't even got Club Nintendo. They blame this on the fact that the physical Club Nintendo magazine was to expensive to produce in the 80s!!! Don't know why Nintendo haven't replaced this zero-effort company decades ago!

I'm getting this one, but I'm waiting for a MUCH lower price tag. This isn't a game I'll play for months and months, so I'll get it when it's on sale AFTER a perm price drop. It'll just stay on my watch list until that day comes...
