Re: New Trademarks Suggest Nintendo Has GameCube On The Brain

I love GameCube! It'd be awesome if they did something, anything really, with it.

I never had my own since I only had an Xbox at the time, but I loved my sister's GameCube. She and my brother-in-law gave me some games and 3rd party controllers when I got the Wii and I've bought more games on my own. It's the only reason I still have the Wii after getting a Wii U.

Paid about $22 for this and 2 extra amiibo figures (Tom Nook and Mabel; they were on clearance), probably less for the game itself since I get an employee discount. If I don't like it I'm sure my nieces, nephew and/or future kids will.

Shoot, I just bought the game and amiibo this week. Oh well, it was fairly cheap and won't be my first time double dipping if I decide to get the Switch version too. At least my Wii U gets used a lot.

I got it with a My Nintendo discount and it's right up my alley since Dr. Mario is an old favorite at my house and Luigi is my favorite Mario character with Yoshi in 2nd place. I also have the original Dr. Mario and Dr. Mario Online.

Re: Soapbox: Switch's Rampant Success Is Proof Positive That You Should Never Write Off Nintendo

I was a late adopter with the Wii U since I didn't buy one till August 2017; its lifespan was horrible timing for me. However, when I did buy one all my money went directly Nintendo rather than a retailer. I've bought all but one game myself and I've found good deals on all the games I have. I'm glad I added it to my entertainment center, though I kept the Wii since it was bought shortly before they stopped making them GameCube compatible. However, the games that are being ported to the Switch will only be bought for the Switch.

Much as I love my other consoles and handhelds, the Switch is the crown jewel of my collection and a source of pride. It was my first major non-educational purchase that had zero input from my family and friends. I bought all the games and most of the accessories myself. I'd love it regardless, but this makes it extra special. I even bought a red and black Celtic knot bag at the Renaissance Festival just for the Switch and its accessories.

I have an Xbox One, but I don't use it for gaming anywhere near as much as my trio of Nintendo consoles. Dad bought it for me since we decided if I was going to get a Blu-Ray/DVD player it might as well also function as a CD player and a console with a big library.

Re: Poll: Have Your Say on the Best Main Series 3D Mario and Zelda Games

The original "Super Mario Bros." was my very first video game, but it never captured my heart despite the fact that I like playing every now and then. I prefer Mario Kart.

I didn't touch "The Legend of Zelda" till the GameCube, but it stole my heart and rupees. I own every console title except Four Swords Adventures and I've got spinoffs too.

Re: Reggie on GameCube Controller Support on the Switch

Vicki_S

I've got 2 MadCatz GC controllers lying around and I managed to find an official adapter on ebay, so I'm all set! Please give us Virtual Console versions of MK: Double Dash, Melee, Super Mario Sunshine, Luigi's Mansion, and Four Swords Adventures.
