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.

Alex, I seriously love you, mate. Specially because I BEAT Champions road with the FIVE characters.

Twice.

It sounds like nothing really. I've played plenty of Ubisoft games on my WiiU - Rayman Legends, Assassin's Creed IV and ZombiU - they are fantastic and I wish more of that could come, but when they show only open world games with that bla-bla-bla, drugs, etc, I just lose interest. Really don't care about the games they announced yesterday on a Nintendo platform.

More Rayman? Bring it on. please.

Sony's conference was great. They gave me one good reason to buy a PS4: Resident Evil VII - franchise that I am a huge fan of. Microsoft's was alright. Ubisoft was depressing and annoying for plenty of reasons.

Now, Zelda...

I know it's not the first time a game with the same premisses is released. Skyrim works like that alright. Plenty of games use similar mechanics. But having those mechanics and premisses brought to Hyrule is something HUGE. I'm all in for sure. Counting the days to play that beauty for years to come - and replay it with my daughter Sophia!

I was keen to play this game, but controllers were putting me off (I hate pla'll try it.

I think that is very cool. Although I think it doesn't have the same impact as we finally discovering we have been playing with a girl, right Samus?

I literally prayed to God for a N64, in 1997. Back there in Brazil everything was about Playstation (the mostly easily pirateable console back in the days), but my brother and I just wanted to play Mario.

I still have that baby in the house of a dear friend of mine.

Seriously I love that console. So many good memories are represented by it.

Gonna watch it because it has Fassbender - since Prometheus, I like that guy.

I grabbed the 13 one. Seriously, the selwction is incredible. I am having a blast with Runbow, by far the best thing in that bundle (and that is not saying he other games are not good).

Please, I want one more next week.

Reafing this and the comments listening to Barrel Bayou. Guys, it's the best platformer ever.

I want to play this thing BADLY.

Yay! Guys will be my first! One one the things I was looking forward to move to England was that kind of thing! Count me in!

@wermy Congratulations man. I would buy you one right now if I did not havr to save money to buy a NX AND support an incoming baby... I really love what you did there though

This is the theme song for Sophia, my girl to be born next August. She shall love and treasure all things Nintendo.

GUYS!

How could you forget The Adventures of Batman & Robin? As far as I remember, that one was wonderful

I have a problem with this game. I played it back in the 90's, when my English was nowhere to be heard. It was okay, and I never finished it.

In 2013 I moved to Ireland and bought a WiiU. Eventually, I bought this, knowing the language well enough to be moved by the brilliance of Eathbound. I call my party after my wife, brother and one of my best friends, all of them (but my wife) far away, in Brazil.

And I missed my friends, and specially my mom, A LOT because of the game, man.

I want to play that again, but I am afraid I am going to sob this time, since MY baby is on its way.

I am a science teacher. I love and praise the effort. And I hope it's not an educational game, because those normally suck. I like it reminds me of Pokemon.

Thomas, stop buying it.
I did stop and feel much better. After seeing the wonderful job M2 did with the Sega Genesis I started looking at the VC with suspition.

I love it, don't get me wrong. Currently I am playing Breath of Fire 2 and Street Fighter Alpha 2. Just finished Mario & Luigi. I love that. Am still waiting for Lufia 1 and 2, though.

But I am okay of having those games available for me ONCE. I don't get why Nintendo keeps releasing them instead of getting new games.

The streaming is a wonderful idea. It's a pity Nintendo does not think so.

I also keep coming back to this. It reminds me of a tranquil afternoon with my brother, playing one life each and craving for the Independe Day stage. This is a very dear memory and I like to feel I relive it again, although I actually can't. Brother is in Brazil. I'm in Bucks... And my copy of Star Fox is in Dublin with a friend, damn
...

I'm still laughing at the trumpet. It is GLORIOUSLY ridiculous. I think I want to play this game because of the trumpets.

(For me it's crystal-clear it is on purpose. Heheheheh. Will watch again)

Well done guys!

I seriously stopped paying attention to specs when I saw Super Mario Galaxy on Wii, then Donkey Kong County Returns on 3DS and Super Mario 3D World on WiiU.

Those games are so good that I don't care

I don't care. I'm playing it anyways and having fun as if it was the 90s.

It was amusing actually. I enjoyed the comparisons. It made me recall a situation when I was a child in which the pastor of the church I used to go told us we should be aware of the presence of evil everywhere. Then I played Super Mario RPG and the Axem Rangers say: 'We fight for evil!' With my poor English of then I thought: 'That is it. Found the devil here.'

I was REALLY sad I could not play Mario RPG anymore. Then I grew up a bit, figured it was nonsense and finished the game - and eventually, left that church for a serious one.

That game is absolutely fantastic. I want more of it please. I'm not much a completionist myself but I'd gladly jump into this again, and do everything again. (I still feel sorry for myself not having completed the treasure hunt on Wind Waker.)

I was wondering: is it that the WiiU game is not that impressive (graphically, cos it's a blast) or is the Wii one that impressive?

Guys, just bear with them. And wait for it the release - bear that in your minds.

I bought Final Fantasy III on the European WiiShop years ago. I think it's still available. Oh, the Opera part is awesome. Actually, the entire game.

Isn't there a GoldenEye remake for the Wii? A pretty darn good by the way? I don't need another HD remake of a fantastic remake of a fantastic game.

@Shiryu Caro amigo (dear friend)

You have written a glorious piece here. I share this JRPG passion with you. Being a Brazilian I can say that titles as Lufia: Fortress of Doom, Breath of Fire, Final Fantasy VI and Super Mario RPG were the first titles (with Mega Man X) that taught me English. But I had forgotten how wonderful is this genre.

Then, Xenoblade came to my life. I didn't play it all at once (took me almost 2 years to finish the game) and I can say I understood the game and its mechanics after 50+ of gameplay.

I finished it two weeks ago and I am still thinking about it.

Obrigado, rapaz. Fantástico esse artigo seu.
(Thanks lad. Fantastic article)

@johnodaz After Prometheus Charlize Theron will always be my Samus.

Cinema tomorrow to see Back to the Future 2. See you guys overthere.

I wish I could write down things on the map, as in Spirit Tracks. Why we didn't have that in WindWaker HD is a mystery.

That game is gold, but devilish

The question is not if I agree. It is if I care. And the answe is no, since Super Mario Maker is pure joy unleashed.

Give me also a gamepad and I am totally fine, because touch screen does not work

It is a very good game, but boy that camera...

And strangely the parts with no FLUDD are the best ones.

Great! I am keen to play this. On the gamepad even better

I actually like this game, and I'd rather play it on my smartphone than on the 3DS. I'm totally in.

Now, if feels to me that Nintendo is now seriously aiming the mobile market. If NX happens to be a platform that has a WiiU-ish portable controller, it makes sense to transform my smartphone in another Nintendo device.

(I would actually enjoy a Cyberdine: Nintendo Edition by the way)

In 1997 Daniel was an innocent, unharmed by life Brazilian who wanted just one thing in the world: a N64. He even prayed to God to give him one.

I'll never forget the October 12 (Brazilian Children Day, therefore bank holiday), when my dad gave me one and my little brother and I bopted it up.

I can still hear in my mind the staff roll song.

God be praised for the N64

I so love this Advanced series. Need to play the #4 though ASAP

I too am in debt of Mario for bringing me into gaming and back to gaming, when my Mom gave me a Wii when I was 25.

And yes, every gaming experience I have I compare it to him .

WhrnI played it I was 25 years old. It was like playing Super Mario 64 for the first time. But more. This game still fascinates me, and I've been playing it yearly since 2010, because it demands me too. It is fantastic.

@Grumblevolcano You can download it on Wii mode though, I think.

@Miles_Edgeworth Don't man. You gonna regret not doing this before. Seriously. Is THAT good.

Tom, I totally understand you, mate. I skipped the GameCube - was in college, doing Biology lessons and struggling to be a secondary school teacher. Then my mom gave me this blessed thing called Wii.

When I played Super Mario Galaxy, it was a moment of wonder after another after another. Gusty Gardens captived me so much I played several times just to hear that music. It was the first time I realized video games are an art form. Seriusly, man, it was - literally - watersheding.

After that, Metroid Prime 3 and Galaxy 2 (and the Gamecube library I caught up afterwards) I couldn't understand why people didn't own a Wii.

I still can't.

@whodatninja Do you live in Ireland, mate? I think I am the only and proud WiiU owner here - I and some guy that I saw on Mario Kart 8...

Wait a minute. The DLC is the first update. It is awesome already. And they are giving me more? I love these guys.

Absolutely agreed. My WiiU is both a disappointment and a joy. Showing it to some friends in Brqzil inevitably brought them smiles (specially Yoshi's Wooly World), as a unique platform with unique games. They just loved it BECAUSE it is different, as I do. I'll stick to that.

This is terrible to hear. I wasn't expecting it. We were celebrating my grandmother's 85th birthday, and she is very much alive, although fighting cancer. Iwata was only 55, was brilliant, and his leadership philosophy influenced me more than I know right now. May God give comfort to his family and to us, Nintendo fans.
