IMO the frog suit was one of the whackiest powerups ever made. In water levels, it gave Mario a performance boost but on dry land it was more of a handicap. A few stages in the game are unbeatable with the Frog suit as you cannot duck and slide to crawl through tight spaces. I played through the entire game as Frog Mario with a "Start and Stay as..." Game Genie code. I needed to utilize several clouds during the journey, and once resorted to the warp whistle as the World 6 fortress was both impassable and unskipable.

Booo EA... No big loss anyway. Nearly everything they ever put out was crap.

Minecart. LOL!

If Linkle is in fact an option, then I'll play as her. Screen art looks cute!

Ugg. Sick of them spoonfeeding these microtransaction games on us... :mad:

@retro_player_22 Yeah the original Star Fox. I remember a thread on AtariAge when I first joined about "worst game ever" and Star Fox was brought up. I was like, "but that's a GOOD game..." after a bit of back and forth I discovered the abomination that was...

Better sue Nintendo as well. There's a place in Super Mario World called "Vanilla Dome"

EDIT: Nevermind, misread the article. There is significant simularities here. Same name, boats with black/white striped sails...

I'll always remember Kirby as the cute little puffball who invaded the NES.

Nice find. Glad it worked...

"...with 68 percent of US adults owning a phone..."

I own a flip phone. Does that count?

@MasterWario "Invisible Block" glitch? I am not familiar. Is it related to the Invincibility with spikes glitch? Did Nintendo delete your levels or did you do it manually? Nintendo deleted the stage I uploaded that used the "Walk on Spikes" glitch. Sad...

Here's the updated version with Invincibility Stars:
3358-0000-00D7-395D

Well, it's confirmed. Nintendo has removed the "walk on spikes" glitch exploit, as well as any stages that used it!

Wow! So sweet!

Huge fan of 2D Boy. I loved World of Goo and Little Inferno.

Well I've got the whole Sonic quadrilogy on Wii-U, accessible under Wii mode. My favorite combo is Knuckles in Sonic 2. Are they axing just the Sonic games, or all Genesis titles? Because that would suck...

@aaronsullivan You are right. I watched the video. @0:37 "You much clear the level from the checkpoint onward to upload it..." Smart one Nintendo!

@aaronsullivan @SanderEvers Well the level might require you to clear the level AND activate the checkpoint in the process. My idea of placing the checkpoint on a coin bridge you run across after activating a P-Switch would make the level impossible to clear after dying once, even though you "activate" the checkpoint during the playthrough.

Somehow I doubt Nintendo will force creators to clear their own stage twice (or more if there's multiple checkpoints). Whatever system Nintendo employs, whether or not you need to actually activate the checkpoint(s) while playing, there is the potential for Kassio style checkpoint abuse (ie activate the checkpoint and you're screwed if you don't finish).

I see checkpoints being used in nefarious ways as well. Create a fork in the road. Make one of them a death suicide trap. Place a checkpoint in there so peeps can't escape...

Here's another twisted use of Checkpoint: Hit a P-switch to convert a coin Bridge into bricks. Place checkpoint on the coin bridge. Should Mario "die" later on, there is no escaping the stage!

Seriously though, I welcome checkpoints. There are a number of well designed long, hard levels that I just couldn't finish. One of them I nearly made it to the end and actually saw the flagpole, but my jump was short and down the pit I went. I couldn't bear to trudge through the stage all over again, but got so close... Checkpoints would definitely help with those, just sayin'

What system was this, out of curiosity? The lack of scrolling is awful. Also there's some super cheap blind jumps in the latter stages.

Heck, as homebrew has prooven, 7800 and even the 2600 were capable of scrolling. The 2600 Princess Rescue required a highly sophisticated kernel though.

@krakensoup Boo Amiibo? LOL, the more the merrier!

Do it, Nintendo. Make an English translation, please!!!

Nintendo, please make a Daisy and Waluigi Amiibo. Also were's the MP series Rosalina?

@shaneoh Yes!

Nintendo, please, please, PLEASE make Daisy and Waluigi Amiibos to go with this title and Mario Party!!!

Ouch! As a mostly single player gamer with few friends, I gotta give this a pass...

@Mrclaycoat Yeah I got a base model TG-16. They don't seem to suffer from drying capacitors like the Duo models. Sadly the CD unit is notoriously expensive and out of reach at current prices.

I've got a small handful of great CIB games including Bonk, Bonk 2, Alien Crush, Devil's Crush, Galaga '90 and a few others. Due to the high price tag on Turbo games, one of the first things I invested in was a Turbo Everdrive, which opened up the entire Hucard library, both US and Jap.

Funny story but prior to the Wii launch in 2006, I didn't know the TurboGrafx even existed. I was like "WTH is TurboGrafx?" and then downloaded a few VC titles and got hooked on them.

Just FYI, if it's NES Bonk's Adventure, I'll be disappointed. Not that NES Bonk is a bad game, but the original is almost always better than the port. I had an NES Bonk at one time but traded it for Shantea GBC about a year before the price skyrocketed. It is what it is...

Prolly just plugging more exploits...

Speacking of glitches, Mario doesn't even retrieve the flag on 8-2!

'bout danged time we get some Turbo on Wii-U!!!

I downloadd them all on Wii VC so it shouldn't cost much to port them over...

Super Mario Bros / Duck Hunt combo cart was among the best NES games ever made. Well, aside from Tengen Tetris. Yeah, I went there!

That pipe would look cool with the 30th anniversary pixel Mario on top...

LOL thanks...

Methinks I should load the original Rocky & Pocky on my Super Everdrive and skip this VC title.

I thought Two Tribes was basically dead?

An even better strategy is to group players on a high number of blacklists with each other in online matchups so the trolls can wreck each other's games instead of people who actually want to cooperate.

If only Mario Kart was real, my cart would be 20x smashed up compared to that... :evil:

Wow. LOL!

Too much IMO. I'm still waiting on the AVS from RetroUSB.

Mega Yarn. I can't really say I give a flip about exclusives anymore. Amiibo are much easier to just import from Japan and Eurpoe...

They say they are done with Game Boy games, but yet they bring Game Boy Advance to Wii-U. This article and Nintendo's strategy at large makes little sense.

Ouch!

Mobile suxx...

@KingofSaiyans Or how about a maximum long jump, hop off the backs of three parakoopas, to land safely on the platform? Even lost levels did that a couple times.

@Luffymcduck I never got the e-reader. I only picked up GBA in 2004 but my CIB SMB3 had a tanooki leaf on it.

Why do many of these levels use SNES or NSMB graphics instead of SMB3???

I already got the retro 3 pack (rob, g&w, dog) as a Game Stop exclusive so an exclusive Mii 3-pack for Toys-R-Us does not surprise.

Seriously Nintendo, that's a punch below the belt...

Too bad the're not bringing back OOT...

"It is part of a strong portfolio of content that will translate well to mobile devices." - Not unless said device has buttons and a Dpad...

Dang region locking! I played the Japanese version on my DS a year before the US version came out. Quite the clever game although the puzzles were small but challenging...
