I have all but a few of the Smash amiibos, and I've been collecting since Day 1ish? I do kind of miss the days of lining up hours before a store opens in rain, and in blizzards (Rosalina), and in -20F temps (Meta Knight.) I honestly never saw myself getting caught up in the collecting of these when they first came out, but as a life long Nintendo fan, it was nice having these little collectables representing characters that normally wouldn't get figures or statues. While I do miss standing in lines, and the "social" atmosphere these early launches had, I am also glad the hype has died down enough now that I can just reserve the new ones online, and have them delivered or pick up at the store. Not many other game/toy companies can get their fan base riled up to the point of standing in line for hours like Nintendo can, and I love that about them.

@mike_intv You may be right? I don't think it was too long though. I did buy it digitally for the 3DS right before I bought the disk for the WiiU.

I recently went on a trip, and I had my 3DS in my backpack, and when I took it out I saw the little green light on, and I got a huge smile. Street Pass makes me so happy. I need to complete all the puzzles and I'm close to getting all 50 states.

If only the Switch would have "Street Pass." I still haven't embraced the Switch as a truly mobile system yet. I still take my 3DS on trips with me.

Kinda surprised (but not shocked) that more copies of Super Smash Bros sold more on the 3DS than WiiU. I know there was a larger install base, but the best experience (imo) is on the WiiU. Still, I probably did play more on my 3DS than I did on my WiiU. So I guess I just contradicted my own statement. haha.

I still have mine pre-ordered on Amazon when they still had a discount program. Not cancelling anytime soon. I waited this long, I can wait some more. haha

I really loved the WiiU, but even after it launched I could tell it was going to be a bust with the general public. All my friends who had Wii's, and their parents who also had Wii's (mainly for Wii Sports) said, "we're not buying another Wii when we already have one." It was a mistake to use the "Wii" name in the title. It caused general confusion with the casual or lapsed gamer who came back to the Wii because it was the causal "family" system. I loved the WiiU, but I'm glad Nintendo recognized it was a bust early on, and we got the Switch as soon as we did.

Looking forward to playing a new island. I must say, I really liked how this all played out. I've enjoyed this game way more than I ever thought I would and it's my go to game when I just want to unwind.

@DockEllisD HAHAHA!!!

If only they would re-release IV, and V on the Switch. The only two I'm missing.

yes!! I was going to import it, but now I'll wait to see if it's a physical or digital version. Hopefully it'll get a physical release in the U.S.

Burgertime was one of my favorite arcade games when I was a kid, and it holds a sentimental place in my heart. I'm very curious, and optimistic, about this version. Just wish the original would find its way onto the Switch somehow.

I need amiibos of all of these yesterday!!!

Never played Lion King on either system. I was a staunch believer that Genesis version of Aladdin was the better of the two games, until recently. I played the SNES version again, and I found it a much more enjoyable game. Way better platformer than the Genesis game. I think I was taken by the "cartoony" graphics and music of the Genesis game back in the day, but the SNES holds up in the area, but I found it was way more fun to play. But don't get me wrong, I still really like the Genesis version, but I like the SNES version just as much now.

Now we know why Wario is the way he is.

This is the first I've seen/heard of this game. Is there a story to it or is just a shoot and slash your way through a bunch of red slo-mo guys? I am intrigued by it though.

@tendonerd Oh man, that sucks!

Adventures of Link was the first game I ever pre-ordered. From the JC Penny catalog. Man, that seems like a lifetime ago before the Internet. haha. But I remember being somewhat disappointed with this sequel after loving every second of the first Zelda game. I completed it, but I never went back to it like I did with Zelda 1, and the many of the other sequels. It wasn't until I replayed it on the Wii eshop and 3DS eshop that I really grew to love this game, and appreciate it for what it was. I think it still gets a bad wrap. I would love to see this game remade much in the way Metroid 2 was remade.

I love this game in theory, it's right up my ally, but the gameplay looks really bland. Going to have to see more about it when it comes out.

I like the idea in theory, but these are totally useless. These games still exist in physical form at just about every used game store. These should be collections for the Switch or PS4 or another current console.

I would love a remastered version of Morrowind and Oblivion.

Who would've thought the ACTUAL company would make a worse console than AT Games? Just let us have our memories Atari, stop trying.

Picked it up for $3 on my PS4, and then I remembered I had more than enough gold coins in the eshop so I basically got for free. A few minor differences between the two versions, but it is a really good game. I love the GM mode.

I will only get this if my personal physician, Dr. Mario, prescribes it.

@Eddsnake I think I just need to look a manual online for the SNES game I played to see what buttons do what. I might be able to get a better grasp of it if I knew what to press. haha

@NintendoFan4Lyf That's cool you actually got to get hands on trying to learn it though. My only basis of knowledge about it is from watching Monty Python skits. haha. Again, probably not the best way to learn. haha.

As an American, I am totally ignorant on the sport. I have no idea how it's played or scored. I recently thought I would play an old SNES Cricket game, and as I started playing it I was even more confused. haha. I really am interested in learning about it, but maybe going blindly into a video game (with no instruction manual) wasn't the best way to learn? haha.

Please add Aladdin, Please add Aladdin, Please add Aladdin, Please add Aladdin....

Much like the current TV product, this series is a hot mess. There hasn't been a great WWF/E game since THQ's Wrestlemania 2000 and No Mercy games. If only they could capture the feel of those games with today's graphics.

@ShinyUmbreon That's why they finally started using cloud saves.

I still see Wii games for sale in my local Wal-Mart. Not sure if they're just back stock or newly printed games?

Still my preferred way to play handheld games. Love the Switch, but I play mainly docked. The 3DS has one of the biggest and best game libraries on any system. Even after getting off to a rocky start, it's become one of the most versatile and long lasting systems that's ever been produced. I still have so many games I haven't even played on it yet, that I will eventually get to. It might be "dead" but I won't be done playing on it for years to come.

Free shipping!! Even better!!

Must be nice to be super rich off your country's back while not doing anything to deserve it. Other than weddings, is this the only way the royals can stay relevant by talking out their ass about a subject he has no first hand knowledge about? Typical.

This is actually my favorite DK arcade game. I've played hundreds of hours of it at a local arcade. Can't wait to have it to play anytime now.

Saturn is the only system I never played when it was out. I'd be very interested in getting a mini if it ever was made.

I can't wait for the Ace Attorney/DK Divorce Court crossover!!

I hope this isn't the reason Reggie is leaving. He saw this, and thought, "how the hell am I gonna sell this?" haha. Actually, it might be kinda fun.

Hopefully this will open up a re-release of some of the better Virtual Boy games that no one played back in the day. I still enjoyed the Virtual Boy, but I know I'm in the minority on that.

this will be my first import game I'm buying. Is the English translation in this region the same as it will be in the NA release?

@JJtheTexan True, but every platform has had an original Mario Kart game. There isn't enough in Mario Kart 8 on Switch to constitute it as an original game. Hopefully we'll get a brand new Kart game in the next 24 months.

Yes, I think the Switch needs its "own" Mario Kart game. I love Mario Kart 8, but I won't buy it on Switch because I still have my WiiU hooked up and play it on there if I want to play it.

I'm all for physical games, but it seems like Limited Run gets the bigger, more popular titles. There haven't been any games Super Rare has produced that make me wish I had an "inside info" on.

@Gorfvic20 Thanks! I get why the Gamecube still gets love. It was probably the first Nintendo console of the majority of the readers on here. So I get that. I loved the N64 when it came out, but as I was just reminded by the PS Classic, mid-90's polygon graphics don't hold up well, and I don't think the N64 holds up that well either. The NES and SNES have held the test of time to the point just about every indie company is copying the look of those early games. Those two systems have had the biggest impact on the video game industry.

Switch might end up being #1 over time, but hasn't had the cultural impact the NES or SNES had, not even the Wii (still #1 in retirement homes. haha) Maybe in 30 years we'll look back on the Swtich with as much nostalgia as we do with the NES and SNES, but I doubt we'll be buying a Switch Mini down the road.

Thinking it over, and since my list is just as valid as the authors, and maybe more so since I own everyone one of these, and was alive during the launch of each of these. Here's my list.
1. SNES
2.NES
3. Switch
4. Gamecube
5. 3DS
6. Wii
7. N64
8 DS
9. GBA
10. Game Boy
11. WiiU
12. Game Boy Color (even though I don't consider it a different system than the Game Boy)
13. Virtual Boy

The NES being #11 is a joke. It's the most influential system of the last 30 years. Without the NES there wouldn't be a 2nd video game boom. I would flip the NES and WiiU at least. The WiiU was a fart in church, and I like the WiiU, but it was the Wii's stepchild.

You'd think he's actually endorse this, and work with Epic in marketing it. I'm sure there's more money to be made (and good PR) if he did an ad with them as opposed to suing them.

Never bought one Animal Crossing amiibo, but I found one last night at a Five Below store so I picked one up just for this reason.

@Slim1999 Oh, no doubt Nintendo would put better games on it. My point is the market is starting to get saturated with sub-par "classic" systems. The N64 mini would be a superior product no doubt, but think release it next year would be the wiser move.
