Re: Anniversary: Super Mario First Went 'New' 20 Years Ago On The DS

@WaveBoy Yeah after the Wii/DS era video games was alot less being innovative and more let's pump out the next sequel thats exactly like the last game with a few minor tweets.

I miss when game companies would be so innovative. There is no way in this day and age that we would get a game like Super Mario Bros 2 or Castlevania II or Zelda II. Companies are just to scared nowadays.

@WaveBoy Yeah I bet. As much as I enjoyed Mario 64 and then Sunshine during that time I always wanted a new 2D Mario. So I bet it just felt awesome to have a new one with all the new stuff like the mega mushroom and new abilities. I dont know why I didnt get it untill years later, I had a DS at the time but for some reason I didnt play it till I got a used copy at a garage sale about 10 years ago. As I said earlier it felt alot better then its Wii counter part which I played before hand. Ah well I guess better late then never. You can tell that that game came out when Nintendo was firing on all cylinders and were really putting there time into making a game a magical experience rather the churning out another same old game like now and shortly after the Wii/DS era.

I played it years later in fact my first New game was New Super Bros Wii. However when I went back and played New Super Mario Bros I enjoyed it alot more then Wii. I dont what it was maybe the level design was just better on the DS outing. Even compared to newer ones like NSMB2 or NSMBU the first one just felt better. I wasnt there day one so I bet the DS one just felt magical to return to a 2D Mario game after years of 3D Mario. @Waveboy were you lucky enough to experience New Super Mario Bros day one?

Another screw up by Reggie. This guy's was the worst thing about Nintendo and just treated it like one bug joke. He wasnt interested in helping Nintendo just using them to further his career.

One of the main reasons I didn't buy to many new Wii and DS games during that time is because they never went down in pricing compared to say Xbox or PS3 games. I usually rented them through Gamefly or my local library and bought them from Gamefly or flea markets during that time. Thank you for that Reggie I guess your ego was more important then Nintendo.

So glad that fool is no longer part of Nintendo.

Mafia: The Old Country (Series X) Just joined the Family. Really enjoying this one and where its going.

Graveyard Keeper (Series X) I cant say no to a free game. Played this a bit during the pandemic so it's been awhile. Will be starting a new game this weekend.

River City Ransom (NSO) Will be doing a playthrough of my favorite Kunio game in honor of its creator's passing earlier this week.

Re: Talking Point: Which Zelda Game Would You Most Like To See Remade?

Tasuki

A Link Between Worlds has my vote. Being stuck on the 3DS it needs to come to the Switch especially how much 3DS are now.

Personally I want this game to come to Switch so I can finally finish it. Its one of the few Zelda games I have not finished and not because I dont want to but because Nintendo chooses to keep it forever tied to the 3DS.

Now that I finished off Borderlands 3 I will be digging into my backlog.

Mafia: The Old Country (Series X) I have always enjoyed the Mafia series and so far this one is not disappointing. Currently on Chapter 4 of the story.

Visions of Mana (Series X) Will be trying to get back to this one. So far I am enjoying it.

Heroes of Might and Magic III (PC) After the announcement that the next Heroes game is coming soon it gave me the itch to play this game again.

Have a great Easter everyone!!!

@x3King84 Right. That's what always cracks me up with people who want to argue about digital and physical. They act like the companies always produce physical copies but honestly they stop making new ones its just the second hand market that keeps selling the physical copies. To be honest people could do the same after the digital is removed granted they would have to sell the whole account.

Since I finished up Borderlands 3 and Forza Horizon 2 Last weekend its time to start some new games, that will be

Mafia Old Country (Series X) Looking forward to this one as I love the Mafia games.

Visions of Mana (Series X) Was in a RPG mood and I have been wanting to check this one out since I enjoyed the main line Mana games.

That's it for me have a good weekend everyone.
