I never got to play this on the WiiU. I'm totally picking this up when it launches.

Athena...good God. What a frustrating NES game. Bad controls, items popping up on screen that I couldn't figure out what they did & a Tree Boss with the Mick Jagger lips.

Oooh, & jumping was done by pushing "up" on the d-pad. Sure hope I can map that to a button this time around.

"All Star"? Who are the stars? Orange, Banana & Watermelon?

YUSSS! I've been waiting to play this game again for years! I've played the console Punch Outs to death & I've longed for the arcade title that started it all. Gotta admit that the side-by-side aspect is gonna be jarring at first but whatever I still want it! I never finished it as a kid, but now I plan on rectifying that.

This game looks like it would be funny to watch (i.e. Youtube clips) but I would never want to play it.

I know this has nothing to do with the game but the thumbnail pic reminded me of Lost Winds for the Wii.

I really liked LW1&2...I wish they'd make sequel

Still playing DK64 on the WiiU. Trying to collect everything (or at least as much as my sanity will allow) before I decide to finish it.

Oh and I’ve been playing Final Fantasy Brave Exvius on mobile too.

Currently playing on my WiiU. Just finished Jotun and now I’m on DK64.

It would be nice if Nintendo sold replacement pre-cut cardboard without the software for a discounted price. I have to wonder how good can I recreate the original pre-cut cardboard if I have to make rebuild my Labo if it gets damaged? Even with the schematics provided, I know I'm not as precise as a machine. Some people can probably recreate these easily but not everybody is great at crafts. This RC car is one thing, but can I really recreate something as precise as the piano or god forbid that robot suit thing?

@FoxyGlen Great guide but your subtitle gives away a pretty big spoiler.

@RupeeClock I was thinking the same thing!

Does anyone know if you can play Nine Parchments with both local & online coop simultaneously? As in, playing in a team that consists of both local & online players?

OMG...Exciting Hour...I totally forgot about that game.

Now you have my interest

The arcade version of Punch Out! would have made a great DS/3DS release. Didn't it even use 2 screens?!

I generally don't have problems with pointer controls...it's the motion controls I don't want. General aiming in Prime & RE4 was great...Zelda Awkward Sword, not so much.

I'm sorry but this looks really bland...no thanks.

Looks promising but that voice was like nails on a chalkboard.

I don't normally get into JRPGs but this one looks to have potential!

It looks like a free to play mobile phone game.

C'mon now...Mech Combat Game my eye.

Meh, I downloaded it on the Wii U when it was free. Didn't really like it to be honest. Glad I didn't have to pay for it.

I don't think Swap Fire merits a sequel. They should really just try to develop a different IP.

I bought it for WiiU and I thought it was great. Boss fights were challenging yet very rewarding. Looking forward to playing the quasi-sequel one day

Am I the only one who thought Alex almost slipped out the F word at the 8-second mark when he said " finally finally able to open this puppy up"?

Can't contain his excitement I guess? lol!

You'd have to get a glass window made to put on top of this table when you aren't gaming. Assuming the controls don't protrude over the edge.

My real gripe is the need to be constantly online to play. I can understand the need to be online for stuff like Toad Rally, but at the very least Tour mode should be made available offline.

I don't want to use my mobile data to play the game so I'm stuck playing at home (wi-fi). If I'm at home, I'd rather be console gaming...unless I'm in the bathroom.

So there you go, Super Mario Run is my bathroom break game at home...my $15 bathroom break game

Ugh...$9.99 might be bad but here in Canada, it's $13.99. That's more than what I paid for Guacamelee on my Wii U.

@bluedogrulez App store says 173MB

WOW! Well done!

I really wish they'd give us more DLC for MK8. This is probably my most played WiiU game.

It's garbage like this that really gets me angry. Whatever happened to the official Nintendo seal of quality?

10$ are you kidding me? Even for 2$ they should never let stuff like this on the eShop...

Just got it last night. I haven't played much (got to 2nd boss) but I'm definitely liking what I'm seeing so far. I think it'll fill my Metroid void nicely until Nintendo finally releases a new one.

Kid Niki Radical Ninja?! That game has always been on my VC wishlist!

I am so happy I bought a HD Nintendo system so I could play games like this. I can understand the love for the old-school pixel art but it's getting to the point where the eShop is just flooded with these dollar games that, to me at least, shouldn't even be making it on the market in this day & age. Mind you, I am obviously making an observation from the little amount of screens shown, but you can't tell me that a game that looks like it's "borrowing" the NES Zelda sprites on a black background is giving you any inclination to buy? The original Zelda game looks much better than this...and I could pick it up on the eShop for not much more $ either.

Thank goodness for Nindies. There are a few promising titles here that I am definitely willing to try out. These 5 I believe I will be giving a go but there are others on this list that could convince me too:

Axiom Verge
Jotun
Soul Axiom
Hollow Knight
World to the West (really liked Teslagrad)

All of stage 4 in Super Castlevania 4! Whether it was the rotating room or, my fave, that spinning hallway. I know that sounds like such small things these days but back then that was impressive!

I want a Metroid game & a 3d Mario game at launch. I can wait for the other franchises later down the lifespan of the NX.

Having replayed Other M recently, I've come to appreciate that game a bit more than I did on my first playthrough. There are still some gameplay & story elements I wish were different but all in all I wouldn't call it a bad game.

I've been playing through as many Metroid games as I can to celebrate the anniversary. I started a few weeks ago going through Prime 1-2-3 as well as Other M. I'm taking a break before diving back into the older games (about to start Star Fox Zero). Not sure which one I should do next. I might give Zero Mission a go since I've never played it. It's a quasi-remake of Metroid 1, correct?

Does anyone know how long is the cord on the NES Classic controller? I don't know why but I under the impression that it was a wireless.

Pictures make it look really short...

@SKTTR Thanks!

I never played any of the Wonder Boy games. Isn't this part 3...would I need to play the other ones first?

What's worse is that as much as I want to see footage & info on the new Zelda, I don't want to see too much. I'd rather experience it myself when I eventually play it. So technically, I only want to see about a few minutes of E3 this year

Very well done! This is why I have been a fan of the franchise for so long!

I don't think I'll be picking up the NX at launch unless they show me games! I'm going to wait until I see a proper lineup. I hate to admit that since I've always picked up Nintendo systems at launch but I still cannot get over how disappointed I've been with the WiiU. If I find out that the new Zelda game ends up getting released as a NX exclusive, that'll be the final nail in the coffin for me.

I'm sure others have had more enjoyment with the system than me. As weird as it sounds, Super Mario Maker & Super Smash Bros do not interest me one bit. I know I'm probably in the minority there. So technically my 2 favorite games on WiiU are Super Mario Kart 8 & Donkey Kong 64 (I've probably gotten more enjoyment out of eShop games with the WiiU than release titles...c'mon man).

Anyways, I'm going to pick up the NX regardless (I'll always be a Nintendophile at heart) but for the first time I'm going to wait a bit. Rant over.

@ikki5 Oh I hope not! That's what I've been fearing for a while now.
