if the characters in starfox were people and not cartoon animals.....

if captain falcon didn't have to say his name every time he punches someone....

The SNES controller is a classic that has yet to be improved upon. However, the GC and even the Wii controllers are very comfortable to hold (but the button layout isn't always as friendly). THe original NES, while revolutionary for its time, is too limited an pointy (ouch!). THe worst is that damned three pronged N64 controller.....what the hell were they smoking? The N64 controller confused my adolescent brain so much when I tried to use it at Toys R Us that I never bought an N64 and instead went straight back to my SNES until the Dreamcast came along.

I personally do not care about the analog sticks unless they are clickable. If they aren't clickable, whats the damn point? I would rather have the slider pads if that is the case. I like that the sticks are no longer directly above the other buttons, but they could have pushed them even further. Great idea to move the +/- buttons to the right side, this gives them the ability to be used as additional buttons for future games, kinda like how they were used for Metroid Triology. They would be impossible to reach while using the joysticks if they stayed in the center. Also, instead of circular holes I hope they go with the octagonal hole shape for the joystick similar to the Wii nunchuck because it is very hard to hold a joystick straight for a long period of time without a notch to push it into

I would prefer a sidescrolling 3D HD castlevania for Wii U with dungeon maps, items, and interactive use with the controller screen.

So glad this is free, just bought this game recently. Awesome idea! Take notes, nintendo!

HORRIBLE IDEA!!!!!!!!!!!! When Skyward Sword people were complaining it wasn't long enough compared to huge games like Skyrim, Mass Effect, and Fallout. Turning it into episodes would overexpose the franchise. First nintendolife says Mario is being overused and now you want to do the same thing to Zelda? Who's side are you on?

GBA first. DS games are plausible, but unnecessary due to backwards compatibility. Hell, where are the GBC games? Or other handhelds like NeoGeo Pocket and the Wonderswan?

I never played Pikman 2, so I am pretty happy about this. I loved the first one!

I love the stylus style aiming and I have no issue with that. However, I hate having to hold down the shoulder button while using the joystick at the same time. Its my LEFT hand that cramps up during gameplay. I have no complaints about the stylus at all, it works great for aiming.

WIsh there was no monthly fee. I feel like Square is using an Enix IP to test out a new gaming model before tampering with their precious FF series. Dragon Quest is equally legendary, screw them for tampering with the traditional formula. MMO must die.

That would be the biggest mistake nintendo could make. Give away their biggest assets, and pay other companies licensing fees for it. NEVER!

everyone quick, buy a game and save nintendo!!!! LOL

You can't compare Mario Kart 7, Mario vs Sonic, and Mario Tennis to the main series of platforming games. its unfair. Surely this has happened in Nintendo's past before. Every system nintendo releases has at least 1 platforming mario, and in recent times 1 3d mario and 1 2d mario. NSMBW and NSMBDS are NOT the same game. The Wii game is not the "wii version" of the DS game. They are NOT the same. Different powerups, different levels, different resolution, similar art style. This is crazy. The original NES had 3 main series Mario platforming games, now you think nintendo is crazy for have 2 galaxy games? Or one NSMB per system? This is being blown radically out of proportion. Nintendo is making the right decision, stfu.

tits. If OOT looked like this, I would understand why people think it is the best zelda of all time. Alas, that award will always go the A Link to the Past.

Am I the only one who didn't really like SM64 and SMS? SM64 was an important game for its time, but I can't say I really enjoyed it the way I enjoyed SMW. To me SMG is a direct continuation of the original series, and it wasn't until then I could enjoy Mario in 3d. The return to 2D sidescrollers has resulted in a Nintendo Renaissance. Not to mention - there is only one 2D mario for wii and one for DS. The 3DS and Wii U should have at least one 2D mario game as well.

Okay.....Honestly from a gaming and marketing standpoint, I think they should have released DLC for Super Mario 3D Land instead. I think it is very true that 3D Land is still on strong legs and its prowess on the charts could be extended further by giving players a download pack with bonus levels. AND I do think it is a little bit lame for them to go the Tanooki route with this game since they already did the with 3D Land. That said, 2D Mario has always been my favorite and there isn't one for the 3DS yet. SM3DL and NSMB2 are entries in two separate series of games, and I think they should be viewed that way. I hope Nintendo has a record breaking Christmas this year to shut everyone up.

You know, I don't think half of these negative comments would be here if nintendolife hadn't posted a recent article questioning whether the Mario franchise was getting overexposed. Now everyone hates mario. WTF? First of , I don't think NSMBW was Nintendo playing it safe. We are in the age of 3D, and nintendo took a gamble by returning to 2D gaming. Everyone remember how awesome the 2D Castlevania Symphony of the Night was? It got awesome reviews, but hardly anyone bought it and Konami continues to try to make Castlevania 3D. People could have viewed 2D mario as a step back for nintendo, or that the developers were just not grasping 3D games. Instead, NSMBW was a HUGE success and outsold Super Mario Galaxy! So NO, 2D is not playing it safe, nintendo just has just split their main platform series into two equally powerful franchises - the 2D series and the 3D series. Brilliant -I'll buy every single one (But please don't bring back Mario Sunshine, anything but that).

This is just so cool. I can't believe they are paying tribute the game gear game, this is going to be awesome

This is AWESOME news. Look, I never buy any other mario games except the main series (although I've heard the sports/party/puzzle games are fun). Also, Luigi's mansion doesn't count as a mario game - doesn't luigi deserve his own series? Damn! If you are feeling mario overkill, its because you playing every game that has "mario" in the title, and that is almost every nintendo game all with varying degrees of quality. I have yet to play a platform based mario game that I didn't enjoy. You naysayers are crazy, this game will give the 3DS a shot in the arm this christmas.

This sounds to me like he is working on some must-have downloadable games in order to spur on the nintendo network at launch. Throw in some games like Pushmo or Mutant Mudds, except made by Miyamoto, and I will be downloading them day one

This game looks gorgeous.

Compared to the heap tons of graphics on the wii, this game looks gorgeous. Of course it can't be compared to the three best looking games on the system, but this is still at the top of the heap compared to copious amounts of shovelware

This is what I want!!!!!!!!!! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!! Finally a sequel/remake to the greatest Zelda ever

it is a cartoony game with addictive gameplay, deceptively simple controls, and characters that don't match up (pigs versus birds? wtf?). Of COURSE Miyamoto likes it!

I've felt from the first mention of the Wii U that the price range would have to be $300-350. Anything higher would be crazy considering Nintendo's fan base. People bought the wii for three reasons - innovation, familiar franchise characters, and the biggest, BECAUSE IT WAS DRASTICALLY cheaper than EVERYTHING else ( $400 xbox? $600 PS3? Those guys should be happy they are still afloat, no system of that price has ever survived until now). To me, the Wii needs to be in the sweet spot of $300. Maybe even beat that at $279 just to make it more convincing. And pack in a new wii sports/games title. It would FLY off the shelves. I will be there day 1 if the price is right.

@Katernity I think I stopped reading at about 35 or 40, and just scanned the rest. Yay! someone mentioned the taz game.

I hate MMORPGs. They are ruining the genre. I don't mind RPG's that are online, but leave the MMO's on computers and I'll be happy

Just a new 3d Rayman and Assasins Creed. And a sequel to Rayman Origins. everything else seems like filler.

Castle of Illusion on Game Gear was an excellent game. I home we get a virtual console version of that as a promotion for this game!

This game deserves far more than a 6/10. Its not fair to compare it with games that are not on the same platform. Thats like comparing Super Mario Land 2 to Super Mario World on the SNES. If I did that, Super Mario Land 2 would easily be a 6/10 due to black and white graphics, empty levels, reduced difficulty, and relatively short play time. But for a gameboy game, its one of the best. For a game gear game, all the main series Sonic entries are the best. This deserves an 8, 7 at the very least.

I am ashamed that not a single person mentioned Taz-mania. This along with Castle of Illusion were my absolute fav game gear games after Sonic 2

Legend of the Mystical Ninja on SNES is an excellent game. I want a sequel exactly like that - top down perspective, old school 2d sprites. I never was a fan of the N64 games. As far as ogre battle goes, it was so revered on snes because it was very rare - some cartridges used to go for like $50, maybe even higher now. But, it was never really that great of a game in the first place, just a collector's item. Ice Climbers would make a perfect download release, maybe played directly on the tablet. Viewtiful Joe would be awesome, and I'm open to Star Tropics, it sounds cool but I never played it.

I thought giving the enemies a tanooki tail was really unexpected and changed gameplay in interesting ways (goombas can jump, bowser with a tail, etc.)Also, the cape has MUCH different mechanics than the tail. The cape allowed a player to fly long distances without losing height, sometimes over the entire level. You could also take off to very high platforms from the ground with a running start. With the tanooki tail you could only slow your fall and attack enemies. I personally think to make a cape in 3 dimensions that is faithful to SMW would be very cool but very challenging to implement.

totally cool!

I don't understand why, its not like this is some huge movie license thats too pricey to keep on. Super R-Type is one of the greatest (and hardest) shooters I have ever played, it deserves to be played

haha ebay here I come!!

CRUCIFY HIM!!!!

This is my alltime favorite game boy game. I definitely got flashbacks of my youth the second I started hearing the soundtrack. I can't believe I bought a 3ds and now I'm using it to play old black and white games instead of something new. This is a must own - screw color, this gameplay is SOLID

oo ooo ooo, I just got a rad idea, how about The Last Story and Pandora's Tower as downloadable games for the wii? I would shell out a ton of coin for that lol.....

I unfortunately already have a pretty sweet game case (which is incidentally smaller than the one show here, holds 22 games and 2 sd cards). Also, whats the logic of giving us Mario Party 2 when Mario Party 9 is about to come out in March? Now I wish I had picked up Xevious and Kirby's Dream land. We've been getting less games since the first month, I consider last month to be only 3 games because I don't really need 2 copies of Dr. Mario....4 games, 3 games, 2 games. In march, maybe none? I really was hoping for 3D classic excitebike or Paper Mario 64...those would be sweet,

I had a screen magnifyer for the game boy that also had lights so you can play in the dark. It was powered on 2 AA's and folded into a small rectangle that fit perfect in my gameboy case. It was perfect for what I needed, totally portable, and clipped on snugly using the large screw holes on the back of the game boy. Some periphials make up for the shortcomings of a system. The GB booster however is ugly and completely unnecessary.

Simple - you can play the games without a TV. Like someone can buy the system, plug it into the wall, and play on the controller. Hi res graphics, no HDTV needed. That seems like it would appeal to lower end customers

Other M 2 could be cool - think about instead of having the controller turn to have a first person view, you just raise the second screen to act as a gun sight. It could be epic. Just take out those dumb "where is it?" portions and make Samus a again. Other M was really not that bad except for those two flaws.

Pikmin is awesome. But we need something that isn't a puzzle game. Basically, something . But I don't know if that is what is going to happen. Miyamoto is good at creating endearing cartoon style characters, but could he come up with something darker and more adult that has the same addictive play qualities of his other games? Probably not - more anthropomorphized animals, plummers, and elves...but how could I complain with that?

U.S. release please? Like a mix between Miis, pokemon, and skylanders

Yes. A million times yes. Nintendo can still have regulations to keep companies from selling unfinished games.

Bonus racers and tracks in Mario Kart, More levels in Mario 3D land, bonus missions in starfox 64 3ds, additional side missions or dungeons in Ocarina of Time, more puzzles for pushmo, extended story mode for Sakura Samurai, I could go on. and on. Online play. Online leaderboards. Make it so Nintendo, give me a reason to brag about you again.

I want it. All three games in one. Take my money nintendo - please

This won't be on the reward program - its too good and its brand new. That would be like putting Pushmo on the reward program a week after it released. I'm really looking forward to this - cartoon infinity blade here I come!

Played the original on Dreamcast...excellent game
