The main problem with enhancing the games in any other way than HD is that it isn't possible. Simply because those games are perfect those.

I love my 3DS to bits, but everything and everyone must, one day, go. I bought mine in 2011 - as a matter of fact, mine is the ambassador one. I appreciate the many hours I spent with it, but I'm focused on the Switch now. Thank you, 3DS. I'll never forget you.

I can never forget that game. Used to play it with my brother, scared to bits of it.

I remember one night, out parents were asleep (they didn’t know we had been playing such a gory piece of media), and it was almost midnight.

It came the part with those bloody dogs. Then we stared at each other and went together to our shared bedroom! I don’t even recall saving the game!

Nice memory that one.

This was an incredible reading. It's good to see a pro who knows his stuff. Thank you again, NintendoLife. This explains why I keep following this community since 2010. Love this thing.

I think people are used to thinking that some stuff belongs to them. It's "my favourite franchise", "my favourite game", "my favourite mechanics". I get that and even support it up to a point.

I am not as good a competitive player as I'd like to be, but I think Pokemon belongs to me just the same. I've been playing the thing since 1998, I am really happy to see Pokemon Yellow in gorgeous graphics, music and with new mechanics.

At the end, people are probably upset they are going to relearn in order to keep on top of the game, because new people will come, understand the game and kick their asses.

@BladedKnight You're not. When I bought Moon is 2016 I was exactly like you. I started digging here and there and got really into that thing. It felt like discovering a new game inside Pokemon.

It appears to be too overwhelming but it's actually alright.

I just don't get it.

I've been playing Pokemon since the very beginning when I was 10 years old. Only with Moon I got into the mechanics of the meta-game.

Now, I really like the abilities, item, IVs and EVs and team-building. I am learning at my own pace.

Then they release a remake of the first Pokemon I fell in love with (yellow) and I bought it day 2 and am having a hell of a time.

I even like the Pokemon Go mechanic for capturing the critters - although the joy-con sensibility let me down.

But it is not a bad game by any means. It is fun as hell and the soundtrack - oh man.

These people need some love, seriously.

As we say over there in Brazil, if it's free mate, even a jab in your forehead will do.

@Agent721 Tell you this mate: listen to the soundtrack. It's incredible.

Just... listen

Tell you what.

I grew up going to rental shops to rent cartridges every Friday. Buying games was not possible - they were two expensive. Now, two games for 5/week ( that was in Brazil, 20 something years ago), you spent the weekend playing, no interference with school life, and poor performance in school, no games. My parents loved that.

From my perspective, I played loads of titles more, and my knowledge of the SNES and N64 grew a lot during those times.

Today, I struggle to pay 60 pounds for a game, because life doesn't allow that, and I have not much time to play either. I would gladly pay 10 pounds a month in order for me to play some Netflix-ish platform.

This game is lovely. I enjoyed every minute of it.

This game is still one of my favourites. The story is gripping - my favourite type of science fiction and the gameplay is incredible.

I can't help it. Every. Single. Year. About this time I resume listening to Metroid Prime's soundtrack - specially Tallon Overworld 2.

That game is magical.

And I put my hopes on it. And nothing. But last year they told us: Metroid Prime 4 is coming. And the cycle starts again.

Argh! Why is this game so flipping brilliant?

I've actually just started after years of procrastination, because of the Education Edition. I might try that with my pupils next year, but I'm still not sure.

Anyways, that makes it now even more interesting to this little plan of mine...

@Heavyarms55 Same here fellow teacher. I don't see myself using Labo in my science class for the exact same reasons you have pointed out.

Better to keep that wonder un-institutionalised. It will do wonders to teach kids at home with their families. But in the educational system? No thank you.

I finished Dragon Quest IX and I'm still very much addicted to Pocket Jockey. Gotta get that Royal Derby!

Anything Shovel Knight related will be added to my library. What a brilliant game.

Dear Nintendo Life,

I protest.

How can such an amazing website have such a bad taste for design? Brazil, a country known for its amazing designer skills, also believes a combination of purple, a square container and, how should I put it? 60Hz, perhaps? is vastly superior to a toybox.

Please repent and mend your ways.

@dizzy_boy I don't know. Nintendo has LABOriouslly talked about those. I think gamers are going to be onboard for this.

@dizzy_boy Last CARDboard meeting!

That sub-header makes me think of one of my pupils in Year 7. I was teaching about reproductive system, and showed them a video of sperm cells swimming inside the uterus. I asked: "What is the name of that dark tunnel sperm cells are swimming in?"

The girl answered: "Uranus!"

And the headteacher was observing my lesson.

Why do you keep posting blasphemies like this NintendoLife? The American version is the only design acceptable for that device.

@Shiryu Man, I am gonna definitely buy this album. 'Red Soil' describes perfectly Vangelis + Metroid. It is just amazing. Thank you for that Shiryu.

I had some fun moments with Sunshine a couple of years ago - after Mario Galaxy 1 and 2. And that is the problem, as you say Mike. I hadn't played it back in the days and went on to play it 10 years after release.

And I have the EXACT same problem: the camera. I wanted to play; the game was inviting me to, but the camera beat me up every single moment. It was massively frustrating.

Interesting though, last year I replayed Mario 64 again on the WiiU and the camera never felt that bad.

This only makes me want a Galaxy 3, really.

@NotBatman_01 Oh my... It gets more and more... well... er...

@PlayedNSlayed Same here. The only one I got far enough was Fire Emblem Sacred Stones - but I grew bored of it, not because it's bad, but it's a genre I can't get into for some reason.

There is already a Mega Man movie: it is called Astroboy.

Seriously though, if they go the way Astroboy went, we could have a nice story.

I have in my mind the plot for Mega Man X, and it should follow Asimov's philosophy. Pay me and I will film it for ya.

There are two problems with a N64 mini.
1. Scalpers.
2. Microsoft.

N64 is my favorite console of all time, I have fond memories of it. But the classics are all Rare, except for Zelda, Mario, Paper Mario and Smash. If they don't put International Super Star Soccer 2000 in it, it will be sad.

I'm passing by again to say he is right. It DOES look better.

It is a shame this will probably not boot up cartridges. I own almost all of them on VC, and played everything I could out of them. Starfox 2 is tempting, but I honestly have to think more about it, at least with the information available so far.

What should I do? I grew up in Brazil, with that lovely US Version - loved the purple. Now I live in Europe, and am forced to watch my friends and acquaintances speaking blasphemies against that holy machine, whilst embracing the colors of the beast, that fanciful imitation of glory!

Owe to you, oh Earth and Sea!

I do like that approach. I am not intereated in the "pro" side of things because, as fa as I can see, it takes away the fun of it, allowing the best of the best to be in and all the others out.

If it is for the masses, well count me in. It is hard to go,say, to competitibe pokemon, because it is a lot of knowledge, but it is fun nevertheless,and I think if I put a lot of effort, I can still play with others. But I will never be able to play against pros.

Way to go, Reggie.

Ok, first of all - look at my little profile photo.

Yeah.

Second: I would prefer a sprited graphics metroid - because the 3D in Xenodrifter made me want so.

Third: but I will gladly get that 2.5D and cry in fetal position, yelling 'Reggie" whilst squishing that amiibo.

I like everything in this website. The new design, naturally, is taking some time to get used to, but we'll get there. I can say it looks beautiful, modern and align with the goal.

Well done guys.

After 5 years with my wonderful 3DS, we know what we've been through. I was an early adopter, but after that decided to never do it again.

With the WiiU, I waited for a year to buy the Zelda Wind Waker's one.

Never again. It's always better to wait and see. I know I will buy one, certainly; not immediately though - no need for that.

If I was the developer of such a game, I would call it "Tremoid: The story of Magus Rahan" - so it would see the light of day, everybody would know it is a Metroid homage and it would avoid legal issues.

I am more excited for this than I should. I played Street Fighter IV on the 3DS a lot, but it never felt like good old II.

Rob, I hope you are right. I'm with you there: had to sell my WiiU in Brazil to buy baby stuff - my games were all digital. Now, going back to Dublin and I really, really hope I don't have to buy them again.

Oh bugger. I did my best fellas!

I was pretty pleased with that, because in Brazil it will be 8am. Then I realised I will be working at the time.

Damn, Nintendo.

I bought a copy for my American 3DS. It is a pretty sweer game. Starts very slow though for us who have been playing Pokemon since childhood

I was as excited as him for that. Nintendo only have to confirm backwards compatibility with WiiU eshop and my happiness will be complete.

I honestly feel more excited about this DLC than I did for the main campaign and the Plague Knight.

Honestly, Yacht, you are doing an amazing job with Shovel Knight. I praise you now

It was my first console. In it I used to play the hell out of Moonwalker and Decap Attack, here in Brazil.

Then some robber broke in and stole it from me, open up the way for the Super Nintendo, and my life then started for real.

But I still miss the Mega Drive.

And here we go

It would be my favorite animation of all time, next to Cinderella, or even above it.

I think that is to tease us with Super MArio Galaxy 3, because it sounds so random that it MUST be teasing.

It is sad that a fantastic studio had to plit up. But good things come from things splitting up: my cells had split up, and now Sophia is born.

If that doesn't arrive here I'll be forced to buy a japanese 3DS only because of it. And then, learn some Japanese

Yeah, I was here in Brazil watching the whole thing. The PM popped out the pipe (!) dressed as Mario. The Japanese did their presentation and, at the end, they played Mario's end of level tune. It was pretty fantastic.
