So some reason people this day and age feel that everything needs to be connected to everything. I dont understand why. The all feel that because a game has the same name or belongs to a series of games that they must connect somehow. Not sure where this crap started but it does get annoying.

I remembering renting this game back in the day and I just couldnt get into it. Maybe it was the constant baby Mario cries or what but something just didn't click with me. All the same though happy anniversary.

They will probably release a Super Mario All Starts package for the Switch 2 like they did on the Wii.

@Zuljaras For what it was worth I enjoyed MK 1, very unique story which I enjoyed more then 11.

Kinda of in an RPG mode this weekend so it will be the following

Suikoden (Series X) Just finished the battle with Kwanda Rossman. Now I am doing a bit of recruiting.

Octopath Travler (Switch) Started this awhile back but dont remember what I was doing plus I dont have my original save file anymore so I will be starting it this weekend.

Time for some Gnat Attack.

@Roam85 @N00BiSH @Joeynator3000 Actually there was a sequel Mario Artist on the N64 DD. Sadly it never made it out of Japan.

@Kidfunkadelic83 Well they were designed that way to get people's quarters. Most people back then especially in Arcades would play these types of games against other people.

Here's what I will be playing.

Suikoden (Xbox Series X) Continuing with my playthrough of this great RPG.
CoD: WWII (Xbox Series X) Still enjoying multiplayer.
Madden 25 (Series X) Just about to wrap up my fourth year on the Broncos

So Nintendo charges 80 dollars for Mario Kart World, and fire all their long time voice actors so they can pay a new bunch a lower amount. Yeah Nintendo's greed at it again.

Now that I finished Mortal Kombat 1 I will be moving on to some other games.

Suikoden (Xbox Series X) Will be starting the first Suikoden this weekend. One of my favorite RPGs of all time.

Madden 25 (Series X) Continuing my playthrough. Midway through my fourth season with the Broncos.

CoD: WWII (Series X) Some multiplayer. Its so nice to play an actual CoD game again and not some Fortnite wannabe.

That will be it for me this weekend.

It does look interesting but Karl Urban looks to old to be Johnny Cage.

The trailer drops tomorrow, not today.

Mortal Kombat 1 (Series X) Finished the main kampaign the other night but this weekend I will be starting tbe DLC kampaign.

Suikoden (Series X) Got the collection on Prime day. One of my favorite RPGs of all time. Will be starting this as well this weekend.

Tony Hawk 3+4 (Series X) My favorite Tony Hawk game of all so of course I will be checking out the Remaster.

CoD WWII (Series X) Will be doing some MP matches this weekend. One of the best CoD games around.

Wow that is sad indeed. So that means that Team Rocket is no longer with us. My condolences to his family, friends and fans. My he rest in peace.

Wow, cant believe its been 10 years. Just seems like yesterday we lost him.

Work for the consumer, not your boss. Last time I checked your boss is who pays you, not the consumer.

So which retailers are doing this?

@Bizzyb Of course they do its their platform. If I had a store and say I sold your milk, you can suggest a price but in the end I can sell it for as much or little as I want. Granted stores arent going to take a loss so they wont sell it cheaper then what you ask unless they have a huge surplus which they dont cause its digital. Do you understand now? Its ok to call Nintendo out on their faults, its not going to make you any less of a fan.

@Bizzyb Exactly and Nintendo wont put the game on sale on its own retail platform. That's Nintendo greed.

Lol Nintendo can't put the Suikoden Collection on Sale on eShop but Amazon can. Nintendo greed at its finest.

The next one will probably be a mobile game or pachinko machine knowing them.

Now that I am finally done with It Takes Two I will be moving on to some other games.

CoD: WWII ( Series X) Still my favorite CoD of all time. Will be doing some more of the Campaign today.

Madden 25 (Series X) Still doing my fourth year on the Denver Broncos. Currently we are 7 and 0.

Top Racer Collection (Series X) Picked this up on sale the other day one of my favorite racers on the SNES. Will be going through then first game this weekend.

Mortal Kombat 1 (Series X) Been in a Mortal Kombat mode lately so I figure I would play through the story of this one for the first time. I enjoyed 11's story so I am kinda of curious where this one goes.

Have a great weekend everyone.

I always preferred Mega Man 3 or 2. Not sure why maybe cause it was the first Mega Man games I played when I was a kid or maybe the addition of the slide and Rush. Regardless both games are great.

So what that's it for NES and SNES games? No more games unless you get a Switch 2? So why am I paying for your service then Nintendo?

Magical Quest Starring Mickey Mouse (Super NT) Haven't played this game since I was a kid. Picked it up last week at a retro convention so I will be playing through it this weekend.

Madden 25 (Series X) Continuing with my 4th year on the Broncos.

Fallout London (PC) Really enjoying this game alot. Looking forward to exploring some more this weekend.

Heroes of Might and Magic III (PC) Just about done with Restoration so hopefully will be moving on to the next expansion.

@Vyacheslav333 Not so sure about that as Dragon Quest XI comes up quite often on Xbox on sale and other platforms. Makes no sense why they would put it on sale on other platforms but Nintendo unless Nintendo is stopping them.

The two games I am looking for Dragon Quest XI and The Suikoden Collection arent on sale guess Nintendo doesnt like money.

So I am guessing we won't be getting anymore NES, SNES games for the Switch then.

@Serpenterror Yeah no. I got burned by them once it ain't going to happen again.

@Kidfunkadelic83 I order alot from online Amazon both from Amazon and third party, Ebay, Wal-mart, Best Buy etc. and never had I heard of such an excuse. I have had other items gone missing and other places have either refunded my money or sent me another item, Play-Asia refused to do either saying it was the carrier's fault. That was the first and only time I ever used Play-Asia. Now I just warn people not to use them and expose them for the crooks they are but in the end its that person's money.

But yeah such scummy business practices I am honestly surprised that they are still in business.

Sorry about your misfortune and I can totally relate.

I highly suggest staying away from Play-Asia as they are nothing but crooks. I ordered a controller from them 12 years ago and never recieved it. Went to get a refund from them and they refused to give it to me saying that the lost package is the mail carriers responsibility. Never in my life have I heard such a ridiculous lie.

I cant stress it enough stay away from those crooks. Unless you just feel like giving money to Play-Asia for nothing.

All my local library has are Wii, Wii U, some PS4 games and alot of PS3, DS, 3DS and Xbox 360 games. My guess is that they get them as donations from people who just want to get rid of their older games for reasons.

Not quite sure what I will play this weekend as I will be going to a gaming expo that my town will be hosting. They do have a free play arcade and consoles set up so who knows what I will play. I will also be looking to add to my retro collection.

Oh Nintendo.what happened to your quality standards that you had during the NES days?

Nintendo Switch your official home of shovelware.

Was hoping this was going to come to Xbox but I guess it isn't. Guess I will get it on Steam.

Its a wonder this company is still in business.

The NA one is just to dark for me although I do like purple but to me it should be bright vibrant colors for the material at hand. The Japanese one reminds me of one of those paint by numbers books I use to get as a kid. So in the end the European one got my vote.

Fallout London (PC) Been wanting to play this for awhile now and with GoG now offering it I decided to try it out.

Heroes of Might and Magic III (PC) I will also be checking out The Horn of the Abyss mod.

Madden 25 (Series X) Continuing with my fourth season with the Broncos.

@MontyCircus Hmmm I might have to check it out on the NSO at some point. I remember hearing about it back in the day but I am thinking that my local video stores never carried it.

Joe and Mac was one of my go to rental games when I was a kid. Its still one of my favorite SNES games. Funny enough though I have never played any of the sequels.

Madden 25 (Series X) Finished up my 3rd year with a Super Bowl victory over the Cowboys. So that makes me back to back Super Bowl Champs. Will be starting my fourth year.

Diablo Immortal (PC) Still plugging away at this and still enjoying it. I just hit level 34 on my tempest.

Mega Man 4 Gameboy (Switch) I got the itch for some Mega Man and I never played 2, 3, or 4 on Gameboy before so I figure I give it a shot.

I hope it plays better then the first game. The first game just felt clunky and it felt like you were moving in molasses.

@Zufolobelisk OH yeah I agree. If you go back to early Nintendo Life you won't see alot of these nonsense articles, yeah there might be the odd goofy one once in awhile. Since they got bought out though you can see the quality of their articles go down and they are just interested in pumping out as many as possible regardless of quality.

How is this news?? I would ask if its a slow news day, but it shouldn't be with the launch.

Proof that Gamestop just hires the dumbest ***** out there. I am convinced that anyone who works for Gamestop has less then a 6th grade level of education.

I am on my second Switch. My first Switch which I bought on launch day from Best Buy was stolen after a house fire, and my second Switch is an OLED model.

To be honest I won't be moving on to the Switch 2 the main reason being the price. Also since getting my Series X I dont play my Switch a whole lot. I played it alot during the pandemic only because everyone was home during that time and the tvs where in constant use which I suspect was very common during that time. So alot of my game time was on the handheld mode of the Switch at the time. I also got alot of use with my Switch for the year I was in a hotel while my house was being repaired after the fire. Again it was mostly in handheld mode since we only had a single TV in the hotel room that was in use most of the time.

Overall then Switch is a neat little console but I wouldn't say it was the best. For me their are alot of flaws especially the Joycons. I am honestly shocked that Nintendo oked such a cheap feeling drift prone controller. I literally have NES and Super Nintendo controllers that are decades old and are still going strong while the Joy Cons feel like they will break if you look at them wrong, which is another reason my Switch doesnt get much play time. I am hoping that with the Switch 2 Nintendo brings back the Nintendo Quality we are so use to by the time I get around to buying one.

Maro Kart Wii holds a special place in my heart as that was my son's first Mario Kart Game and it also reintroduced me to the Mario Kart series. Having skipped Double Dash.

We put so many hours into that game my son and I and up untill then release of 8 it was my favorite MK game. They need to bring back a few of those characters too.
