Even if I still played,I would stick to the original. In fact, I would actually stick to the pre-2017 version, since that has those epic mini games (with the music they remixed in Smash).
The only thing I got out of this as someone who has never played any of these is that all of them now have lower ratings, which is especially noticeable on the top 100 list. XC1 is no longer in the top 20 (Majora's Mask now occupies that spot), XC2 is in the bottom 20 (where it's apparently worse than Oracle of Seasons, Luigis Mansion 1, and Mario Kart Double Dash), and XCX is no longer on the list at all (Star Fox 64 3D took its place). Makes me wish Nintendolife would repost that list so that I can beg for more 9s and 10s for Mariokart DS, Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia, Kid Icarus Uprising, and Wario Land 4 in order to push them onto the list.
I'm playing through FE Blazing Blade, and, hoo boi, am I feeling that. It feels like complete luck sometimes. Can't wait to do this TEN MORE TIMES (the double count is both versions of Shadow Dragon, not both non-DLC Fates routes. I don't have enough respect for Fates to play Conquest).
@OctoCallie20 looking back, the Mario Movie was actually Illuminations 2nd best after Despicable Me 1, and I would genuinely rewatch it over Sonic 2 (especially after Sonic 3).
@OctoCallie20 the fact you think Pyra and Mythra were the only good DLC additions (even if their slot WAS deserved) is a good way for you to lose credibility.
@OctoCallie20 this comment is pure cringe. Big Man was the only likeable one of the group and the only likeable Splatoon idol since the Squid Sisters, and it's not even because of his meme status.
LA2019. it's the game that convinced me to expand my horizons beyond Mario, even though it's a remake. In fact, it's my second favorite game of all time behind Mario Galaxy.
I hate to say it, but while I know this soundtrack is iconic, I actually hate it in its original form and vastly prefer the remixes of every track in this game.
@Lizardkingy being the first to do something shouldn't automatically give it bonus points, especially if other games did it better. I respect Mario 64, more than Mario 3, even, and I enjoy it a lot, but admittedly, Wonder is a better game for me.
That's great, but I already have the 1968 Ford Mustang build from a few years ago (plus a 2020 GT500 for good measure), and the Hotwheels Mariokart toys do a good job of displaying my love for the series, so. . .I'm good.
In what world is Mario Wii better than Mario 3D Land? Wii us one of the most boring platformers I've ever played. As for 3D Land, I would even put it above Sunshine. Sunshine really wasn't that great for me, either.
@DonutPie Climax is basically GP Legend with different (though still good) controls, different tracks, a better OST (with actual percussion and bass), and a track editor. It's on par with GP Legend.
You're not missing much with Maximum Velocity, though, outside a few of the songs.
If you're reading this, this game is actually worth getting for one big reason: compatibility with New Leaf's Welcome Amiibo update. This will allow you to transfer save date from HHD to New Leaf via the cards you use for both games.
As someone who genuinely thinks Links Awakening is a 10/10, this game was fine. It was compelling at first, but got way too tedious toward the end. I didn't even finish it, honestly. It's nothing more than an 8/10 to me, and that's probably being generous.
@Steel76 the minis were fine, at least in the first Mario Vs. DK. I can't vouch for the following entries, but those levels in the GBA game (and its remake) were fine.
Tbh, though, I don't want another one of these. Nintendo has enough 2D platforming franchises as is, and I'd rather they put effort into a 6th Wario Land than something the community is just gonna bounce off of.

@Not_Soos or Taco Bell 🤣🤣🤣
Re: Random: Xenoblade Chronicles X On Switch Has A New 'Sex' Warning, But Why?
@Divide_and_Wander that's sarcasm, right?
Re: Random: Xenoblade Chronicles X On Switch Has A New 'Sex' Warning, But Why?
@IceCatraz last I checked, that was about as slang as crap or idiot, at least for me.
Re: Random: Xenoblade Chronicles X On Switch Has A New 'Sex' Warning, But Why?
P***ks? That one doesn't ring a bell. Is that European slang?
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's SNES Library With Four More Titles
@rwalsh6882 what other N64 games are there?
GOOD N64 games, I mean.
Re: 'Persona 4 Reload' Seems Imminent, But We Still Need The Third Entry
Why? Golden looks fine. Also, didn't Reload get backlash for its visuals and lack of content from Portable?
Re: Review: Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition (Switch) - An Underrated Gem Transforms Into The Series' Best
@LUIGITORNADO what's boring for someone is peak for another.
As someone who loves Kirby and is just getting into Fire Emblem, but hates Pokemon with a fiery passion, I know that all too well.
Re: Plants vs. Zombies Looks Set To Be Revived And 'Reloaded' On Switch
I'm cautiously optimistic about this. It sounds nice, but PVZ has been in the gutter since BFNs launch.
Re: Talking Point: What's Your Dream Pokémon LEGO Set?
None. Tell me when they make a Fire Emblem chess set instead.
Re: Review: Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition (Switch) - An Underrated Gem Transforms Into The Series' Best
Noice. Too bad I'm busy with Fire Emblem now. I'll pick it up later, though. Both franchises deserve more respect from Nintendo fans.

Re: Poll: What's The Best Xenoblade Game? Rate Your Favourite For Our Upcoming Ranking
As of currently, my favorite Xenoblade is Smash Ultimate 😁.
Jokes aside, I plan on getting 1 DE and X DE before fall, so I can't wait for that.

Re: Poll: So, What’s Your Verdict On The Mario Movie Trailer?
@OctoCallie20 looking back, the Mario Movie was actually Illuminations 2nd best after Despicable Me 1, and I would genuinely rewatch it over Sonic 2 (especially after Sonic 3).
Re: Final Smash Bros. Ultimate DLC Fighter Will Be Revealed October 5th
@OctoCallie20 the fact you think Pyra and Mythra were the only good DLC additions (even if their slot WAS deserved) is a good way for you to lose credibility.
Re: Zelda: Skyward Sword HD Players Report Language-Specific Glitch That Ruins The Final Boss
@OctoCallie20 it's actually the least glitchy and broken Zelda game on Switch. I never encountered a single problem.
Re: Zelda: Skyward Sword HD Will Have "Various Quality-Of-Life Enhancements", Nintendo Says
@OctoCallie20 button controls. Reduced Fi. No dousing required. 60 fps.
You don't even need the amiibo.
Re: Stranded Sails Channels Zelda And Harvest Moon In A New Open-World Farming Adventure
@Olddantrucker this comment has zero credibility whatsoever.
Re: The First Review For Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Calamity Is Now In
@Olddantrucker this comment sounds like a skill issue.
And don't pretend OOT didn't do stuff like this.
Re: Zelda: Skyward Sword HD Tops "Best Seller" Chart On Amazon
@Olddantrucker it's linearity is actually the reason it's one of my favorites. Open worlds are so tedious and boring.
Re: Zelda: Skyward Sword HD Tops "Best Seller" Chart On Amazon
@Olddantrucker not all Nintendo fans are like that. In fact, I steer far away from those kinds of "fans."
Re: Video: Here's Zelda: Ocarina Of Time Looking Stunning In 4K, 60FPS
@Olddantrucker and moving forward in the "comments that did not age well" exhibit, we have this comment.
Re: Zelda: Skyward Sword HD Tops "Best Seller" Chart On Amazon
@OctoCallie20 it sold more on Switch.
Also, due to said remaster, it's now my 2nd favorite Zelda, because it actually gets to the freaking point.
Re: 'Team Ninja' Sneaks The Win In Splatoon 3's 'Splatoween' Splatfest
@OctoCallie20 this comment is pure cringe. Big Man was the only likeable one of the group and the only likeable Splatoon idol since the Squid Sisters, and it's not even because of his meme status.
Re: Talking Point: Should We Be Expecting More From Remakes And Remasters?
@LoneHammerBro the fact you assume Nintendo's remakes are done by AI is enough for you to lose all credibility.
Re: Random: Takaya Imamura's Holding Out Hope For A Star Fox Movie
For that, they'd have to make a new game, but. . .y'know,. . .Zero. . .
Re: Best Super Mario Games Of All Time
@MontyCircus yeah, that's what I meant.
Re: Poll: What Switch Game Could You Not Live Without?
LA2019. it's the game that convinced me to expand my horizons beyond Mario, even though it's a remake. In fact, it's my second favorite game of all time behind Mario Galaxy.
Re: Classic Super Mario Soundtrack Joins Nintendo's Music App For MAR10 Day
I hate to say it, but while I know this soundtrack is iconic, I actually hate it in its original form and vastly prefer the remixes of every track in this game.
Sorry, just had to get that out.
Re: Soapbox: Fire Emblem’s Future May Not Be In Turn-Based Combat
Yeah. . .this is the single worst take I have ever seen on this site. It's not FE at all at that point.
Re: Video: Unboxing The Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & The Blade Of Light Anniversary Edition
I'm extremely late, but here's my view:
Despite how botched this release was, this is the only collector's edition that has ever appealed to me, for two reasons:
1. Currently, it's the only way to legally get FE1 on a Switch, and
2. It's one of the few examples of FE merch in the West alongside amiibo, and I actually like to display my merch.

Re: New 18+ LEGO Mario Kart Set Is A Better Build Than We Expected
That's great, but I already have the 1968 Ford Mustang build from a few years ago (plus a 2020 GT500 for good measure), and the Hotwheels Mariokart toys do a good job of displaying my love for the series, so. . .I'm good.
Re: Best Super Mario Games Of All Time
@AshleyGamer64
1. Galaxy
2. 3D World + Bowsers Fury
3. Wonder
4. New DS (this is probably heavy bias, though)
5. World
It's also worth mentioning that the top two are in my top 5 Nintendo games of all time, currently, while the bottom 3 are still top 25 at least.

Re: Review: Fire Emblem Engage (Switch) - Relationships Get Sidelined By A Thrilling Combat-First Focus
@ArcticEcho everything? Including Shadow Dragon DS and Echoes? Yes, I know they're remakes, but still.
Re: Video: Digital Foundry's Technical Analysis Of Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection 2.0 Update
@JS_Comics because fifth Gen emulation in general is still crappy.
Re: Switch 2 Will Support NFC, According To New FCC Filings
Good. I just bought Blue Yarn Yoshi, and my interest in amiibo will only continue to grow.
Re: Switch 2 Filings Show Support For Wi-Fi 6
At this point, any improvement is a plus, since Nintendo has always (always) had dookie internet connection.
Re: Best Super Smash Bros. Games Of All Time
Brawl is now higher than 64. The world is healing.
Re: Best Animal Crossing Games Of All Time
Yeah, this needs a repost. The scores don't reflect the placements, and Pocket Camp Complete is missing.
Re: Best F-Zero Games Of All Time
@DonutPie Climax is basically GP Legend with different (though still good) controls, different tracks, a better OST (with actual percussion and bass), and a track editor. It's on par with GP Legend.
You're not missing much with Maximum Velocity, though, outside a few of the songs.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (8th March)
Poochy and Yoshi's Wooly World (best Yoshi game imo) and Fire Emblem Blazing Blade.

Re: Monolith Soft Adds Final Fantasy Cutscene Artist To Its Ranks, So What's It Cooking For Switch 2?
@the_beaver I know. I was referring to the popular guys.
Re: Monolith Soft Adds Final Fantasy Cutscene Artist To Its Ranks, So What's It Cooking For Switch 2?
Makes sense. The big characters for both franchises are blonde dudes with big swords.
