I didn't like the way voting worked for this, they should have let you vote on speciifc games you thought were best instead of the random matchup formula, especially since a game (DK 64) I would put in the top 100 wasn't even a choice in any of the matchups.
It's kind of interesting to see the gap between Ganandorf from TP (2006) to ToTK (2023). He seems like such a mainstay in the series, yet its been 17 years since he's appeared in a new console game. Although I get his alter egos have had a presence since (like Ganon).
Technically not its own game, but I'd recommend the Simpsons DLC for Lego Dimensions (if you can find it). Short but fun, and you can explore Springfield. I played it on Xbox, but it was on Wii U too.
I like the way gb/gbc games look on the 3DS virtual console. It looks good on a bigger screen, but I also like the pixel by pixel one with the fake gb/gbc border. On a 3DS XL it's basically the same screen size you'd get on a regular game boy.
Wish it had Pac-Man Championship Edition DX+ (plus) too. Seems to always get overlooked, but I think its the best CE game. It's not just an updated version of the original either, it's a completely separate game.
@SyFyTy if your referring to playing the older game on windows 10, you could just get the gog.com version, it will play on windows 10 no problem and its DRM free.
As sale would be nice. I've had it on my wishlist for awhile now and there's been numerous bandai namco sales on the eshop (including right now), yet PCE 2 is never on sale.
Edit: Apparently this is only an issue in the US and the UK has had many sales. Maybe its not selling as well in the US?
@Jayofmaya I just meant the way he wrote it made it sound like nintendo made it specifically as an alternative to the new 3ds, which isn't the case since it was released well before the new 3ds came out.
Its not really accurate to say the circle pad pro was an alternative to the New 3DS or might have been a plow to get people to upgrade since the circle pad pro came out 2+ years before the New 3DS ever did.
"As of the time of writing, Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth is the final release scheduled for the 3DS (barring the final DLC expansion for Shovel Knight)"
No Game & Watch Gallery 2? Technically it was both a GB and GBC cart. I saw some others that were also GB/GBC in the database. Also Dragon Warriors I and II.
They did offer one retail DS game on 3DS before, and it was on My Nintendo when they first started it, It was Warioware DIY. Hope they do more DS games for 3DS as rewards in the future but seeing how that was only offered once and never again, they probably aren't.
I hope they celebrate the anniversary with a discount of Yooka-Laylee on Switch. I want to get it but I'm in no rush and would like to get it a bit cheaper.
I'm suprised they went with a mega drive mini seeing how they basically release it every year, the only difference being the size now. I have a portable genesis by atgames so I mean technically they have made mini genesis's before in handheld form.

Re: Nintendo Shares Colourful Infographic Reflecting On The Past Decade
wierd they didn't put the new 2ds xl in the 3ds pics, especially since its basically the only one they sell now.
Re: Feature: A Look To The Past - All The Legend Of Zelda Remasters And Remakes
What was the new side quest added to Majoras Mask 3D? I've played both versions but I don't remember anything new on the 3DS.

Re: Banjo-Kazooie's Original Team "Pleased" About Duo's Return, But Doubt A New Game "Would Sell"

Luigi's Mansion (2) Dark Moon has a pretty cool snow level and 3D is great in that game.
Re: Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn Will Apparently Be Exclusive To New Nintendo 3DS
