Donkey Kong would be cool if the actually put in the forth level.

How do you connect to the internet without going on the eShop? I was starting to get worried when I purchased mine because I couldn't find the eShop on the main menu, then I realized I had to download the update. I went to a local coffee shop with free WiFi to download the update and get on the eShop. Needless to say I was very happy when I got the message confirming I was an ambassador.

Well, I'd say the 3DS price drop helped me score the system. That and the 20 free games. To be honest if retailers hadn't dropped the price early I probably wouldn't have picked one up. I'm happy so far and being as I'm strapped for cash probably won't be able to afford any new games till more of the good ones come out anyway. I'm more than happy to wait and I've still have DS and DSi games to catch up on. I'm sure after the holiday hits, now with the price drop and some Mario games the system will start to pick up sales big time.

Kirby, you are officially gaming biggest !

I just realized something. I don't think any of the GBA games announced have multiplayer. Wario Ware has single system multiplayer, and Yoshi's Island has the Mario Bros.game, which isn't that great to begin with. Not sure if Dr. Wario had multiplayer with it.

@Bass_XO: Obviously can't be a hardware issue otherwise it would be pointless to release 4 Swords, as that is multiplayer only. Unless it was one of the games that supported the Wireless link accessory. (I think it shipped with Pokemon or something? Never owned one myself.)

It's a little annoying that we're getting gimped versions of these games.

Star Fox all the way. That game was made for 3D. Plus the wiiware version had gimped controls. I own the rest, though I'm probably gonna get bit.trip complete for Wii. Still haven't bought the final game in that series, so I'm just gonna wait for the compilation.

Really? After all the jokes on the internet you would think that Nintendo would have been smart enough not to make this game. I'm half tempted to buy this as a joke... too bad I can't buy it used.

Thanks Nintendo life! I just picked mine up at Target for the reduced price. You are now my favorite web site!

@hawkeye_wii: Sorry but Metroid Fusion is far better than Zero Mission. Zero Mission is great too, but the atmospere and immersion in Fusion are second to only the Prime games. And the story is riveting, and told largely in the classic Metroid sense, through environments and actions rather than obtrusive cutscenes.

Dual Analog? Ugh. No thanks, I like my pointer controls for their precision, something that dual analog lacks. What's next aiming down sights (or barrel?) to compensate for awful dual analog controls? If Metroid comes to the Wii U it better have 'Mote & 'chuck support.

Other M did have a lot of great ideas. I like the dodge and melee attacks, but the auto aim was a bad idea, as was the first person only missiles. I also like the fixed camera angles, and the blending of 2D and 3D elements. It really needed more exploration and atmospere, and less obtrusive story. Fusion is one of the best story driven games every, something as suspenseful and scary as that would be cool for the 3DS.

@5: I hear ya. It's too bad they F'd up GoldenEye last year. Would be cool if the Wii game was ported to the 3DS.

Better yet give us a new Geist game on 3DS... That would be awesome!

Where is Wario Ware Smooth Moves? I've never bought that because it's not worth $50. However I would like to play the game, and it still costs like $40 used.

@7: They should still have some minimal quality controls though...

Personally I could care less about online gaming. If the improve the Shop Channel and up the file size restrictions, and weed out the shovelware that plagues the Wiiware site I will be more than happy.

@Mully: Press the Z button to lock in Corruption and the trilogy. Not that hard. Corruption had the best controls in the franchise, they just took a little getting used too.

@MiracleBlaze: I don't know anyone who wants Prime to stay dead... after Other M everyone wants Retro back.

Super Paper Mario gets a price drop! Finally. And Punch Out! too.

@27 Rift: I agree. For the most part I enjoyed Other M, but it was not what I wanted from a Metroid game. There was so little exploration and environmental puzzels that the game felt like Metroid lite for noobs.

@31 Ren: LOL, my feelings exactly. People seem to have so very little love for the first Metroid game. I also get tired of the Super Metroid noobs who missed out on the first two games. I think Super Metroid is way over rated. Not a bad game by any stretch of the imagination but deffinatly not the best in the series.

@1: Godot, I guess you have to keep waiting!

@22 waveboy: I loved Dementium besides it's one fatal flaw, the fact that enemies respawn every time you leave a room which made the game harder than hell. I have Dementium 2 but never really got into it.

@12 & 21: I have to disagree here. Dementium had silky smooth controls, second only to a Wii Remote Nunchuk combo. Once you get used to playing a game the hand cramps subside. I got over my hand cramps with MPH.

@66: I would start with Other M or Fusion as they are most simple games in the series.

@82: I don't know about Zero Mission being the best. Little too much handholding for my tastes. Glad to see someone giving props to MP3, as I think that's the most underrated in the series.

I loved this game. It was a bit too tedious for the first quarter of the game then it really opens up. I got worn out on the first game about halfway through when you had to switch weapons every room to open a door or kill a new commando trooper or whatever. The dark world felt like classic Metroid, and I loved how the two worlds were identical. I still think the 3rd game was the best in the series, the corruption mode was brillant, as was having landing points for your ship. Be able to land you ship at different points made the backtracking less tedious.

@22: I totally agree. That and the opening screens of Echoes as well. Plus the music for both main menus was the best for both those games.

Happy Birthday Samus! Thanks for all the memories. You truly are the greatest franchise of them all.

@23: Don't get me wrong; I still have my gold NES cartridge. But the game itself if rather poorly designed without a whole lot of thought or logic to it. Same for #2. Zelda didn't really take off till ALTTP and LA. As for SMB even as kid I found it a little boring, I liked sequels much better.

@34: And that's what made them fun. If I wanted simple I'd play CoD.

Mare Kart 7 sounds stupid. They should have just gone with Mario Kart 3DS. I like how they name their games with the system. Even some games get the unofficial name added (like GoldenEye 64).

At the very least Nintendo is getting feedback from the press and gamers on the console. This wasn't the best reveal, but it may help in the long run.

Well the first 5 games are awesome. Though I'd rather have the NES version of SMB3 than the GBA. I've never played either Kirby GBA games so I wouldn't mind those be added to the list. Many of the NES games I could care less about. LoZ hasn't held up that well over the years. And SMB is boring compared to it's NES sequels.

LOL, my first thought was "What the hell is Twinbee?

I don't have a Wii Remote plus yet, so that is why I'm considering this game. However that was the same reason I bought Wii Play, and that was not worth the extra $10.

@44 ROFLMAO: GBA and DS were made successful because of ports, GBA was like one huge port machine. The entire Super Mario Advance series, the FF remakes, the DKC ports, the NES classics series. Even Doom got ported to the GBA. I remember being annoyed at all the ports that came to that system. There were some stellar games that came to the GBA but it did get a little absurd with the ports.

What did DS get on launch day? Mario 64 port. Later on, more Squenix remakes and ports.

And since when are Mario and Zelda not exciting. At least the games were good to begin with. I can't say that about anything Activision has published in the last 20 years.

This is stupid... Why not release the AE the first time. The only reason I'd consider buying this is because I don't yet own a 3DS and haven't bought the first one.

@75: It's Kirby gone Metroidvania by way of the Four Swords. I'm just wondering if they are going to put in the 4 player multiplayer? I'm guessing they might because it's from the same company that made Four Swords, which can only be played multiplayer, and is also gonna be released for free.

That would deffinatly increase the value in the game if they added the mutliplayer.

Ugh! Am I the only one who doesn't like the GBA version of SMB3? I'd rather get the NES version, then get some original GBA games. M & L: SSS, Advance Wars, Drill Dozer, and Wario Land 4, and Minish Cap would round out this list nicely.

Wow, you people need to stop whining. @mickeymac: That is some backwards logic. Not every person in the world is gonna be satisfied with this solution but I say it's fair. No one said you had to go out and buy a 3DS day 1 for $250. If people thought that was too much to pay for the system they shouldn't have bought one period. I know there are always those rabbid Nintendo fanboys who are gonna be there day one and feel slighted by the sudden price drop. I think the 20 games is a great compensation. I wish I had a 3DS because I would love to have those GBA games all on one system, without the need to carry the carts around.

Coming from Renegade Kid I'd expect nothing less than top notch graphics (and framerate) and well as impeccable controls, at least judging by thier Dementium and Moon games. The track design didn't look too bad from the video, hopefully they'll have cool and creative courses to race on. Nothing I hate more than a racing game with lackluster track designs. (You hear that Need for Speed?!)

We need:

Drill Dozer
Mario & Luigi: ss
LOZ: Minish Cap
Advance Wars
Wario Land 4
Kirby: Nighmare in Dreamland or Amazing Mirror.

No LEADERBOARDS? What's the point? These are both score based games, and you can't delete the files?

What happened to online leaderboards? Wasn't every score based game every made from now on supposed to have online leaderboards? That is supposed to be the standard right?

Another reason the 3DS sells poorly... 3rd parties pulling this crap.

@26 lol, that's totally true. One of the things I hate about America.

Why do I feel like a creepy pedophile after watching this video?

@Mao: NOTHING is as ugly as PS1 game.

@ballkirby1: He's like Batman, both have no powers only gadgets. Or in Cap's case his andamantium shield.

Don't care for Majora's Mask in any form. Found the game far too convoluted and annoying. That being said I would rather see Minish Cap as a downloadable 3D classic. (And yes I know it's not an NES game!)

I'll stick with Kirby for my 4 player platformer. That one looks much better than this. Plus I hate multiplatform games anyway.

@Graph: Hey! I'm on your side! I agree, I could care less about online multiplayer. This game never had deep multiplayer to begin with. If I actually thought it would improve sales, then I might argue for it, but these people about online would never buy the game anyway.

@38: Slippy is a girl, there's no way that voice comes from a man.

@37: Would you like so cheese with your whine? How is VC not good? There's more good games on the Wii's VC than all the systems combined.

I'm so ready to DO A BARREL ROLL!

Greatest franchise EVER! Better have something cool planned.

I like this idea, but have one big problem. How am I gonna plug in my Wavebird? The classic controller is fine for 2D games, 3D not so much.

Also Nintendo better add widescreen and pro-scan for games that don't already support it.

Who cares? If this idiot is too stupid to realize that Wii Remote and nunchuk are far supior for FPS he's go no right to develop for the Wii U. No way would I ever play Bioshock with dual analog. Get with the times dude. And pay attention: the Wii also has something called a "Classic Controller."

I'm actually excited about this. Not to make games follow Zelda's formula anymore. Looks like this one will be cool. As long as there aren't any performance issues I'll pick this one up.

@5: Factor 5 is gone dude. They closed up shop a year or two ago and the Rogue Squadron game (and possibly the rumored Kid Icarus for Wii) became vaporware.
