@midnafanboy If I miss something cool because I've only dedicated a single eye and you're using both, you'll have to let me know, okay?

Sweet! I'll be keeping an eye on this.

Guys, The Swapper is SO good. Don't ignore it.

@WiiLovePeace You win.

Fun game. Runs smooth, controls are tight, and the multiplayer is decent. The wife and I often have N64 race-offs, and we always look forward to our time with Mickey's Speedway. It's not a spectacular kart racer, but it's very good filler.

Very happy to see Forsaken acknowledged. This game kind of blew my mind when it launched. I remember renting it with some buddies the weekend after it came out. I spent the night over their place and one of them was displeased that I wouldn't put the controller down to go participate in a little late-night basketball. I ended up playing Forsaken with his little brother all darn night. The world was spinning come morning.

@Dreamcaster-X Yeah, I'm obsessive when it comes to keeping my games clean. I think there's damage done to the contacts that I didn't notice when I bought it. It's always taken a few tries to get going but now nothing seems to work.

Ugh. It had to be KI: Gold today, didn't it? I was looking through my N64 collection yesterday and was immensely bummed when I realized that my copy of Gold doesn't work anymore. The world is a cruel place, you can't deny it.

Anyway, this game is pretty great. Pretty....killer.

The wife and I come back to F-Zero X more than any other N64 racer. It's spectacular. If we get a new F-Zero game and it doesn't have a rippin' rock soundtrack or comic book-style artwork, I'm going to be gutted.

I can't get over how great this game holds up. Whenever I spend a weekend afternoon in my retro game room, I find it hard to resist popping Wave Race in the N64. It's just pure fun.

@aaronsullivan Nice to see there are still great parents out there. Props to you!

There's some interesting stuff here. Actos have my attention.

There's no way I can resist this. NO. WAY.

Buy Tropical Freeze if you haven't already. Seriously, DO IT.

Great news!

@claypool Is it opposites day already? You know, the day where we only say things opposite from the truth.

Beetle Adventure Racing was one of the first retro reviews that I contributed to Nintendo Life. It's such a superb game. F-zero X, Ridge Racer 64, the Rush games, and BAR are easily my fave non-Kart racers for the Nintendo 64.

Such an awesome little game. It's one of the very few puzzle games that I find relaxing. Not too difficult and highly addictive. Great work, @HugoSmits!

This game is incredibly fun with friends, but I preferred Diddy Kong Racing when the option was available. Outside of the hovercraft, which required a good deal of finesse, I thought DKR's controls were much tighter. I always felt like I was slipping around in Kart 64.

@PinkSpider Word.

@ricklongo Congrats!! More and more people are figuring it out now, and I'm pumped about it. It's definitely tricky, even if you know where the entrance to the room is located.

@ShadJV It exists, my friend (not the troll necessarily, but the secret room). I found it a couple months back, and I'm providing everyone with the same three hints that I received from Jason at DrinkBox.

@MeloMan And a fellow Tigers fan.

Thanks for the report, @zipmon! I'm crazy excited for this one. It's funny, about a year ago I was telling my wife that it would be nice to see Mario, Luigi, Princess, and Toad all with their own distinct 3D series — looks like we're just about there! Now we just need a Peach game that plays like a cross between an RTS and Animal Crossing, allowing players to oversee and assist with the problems of the Mushroom Kingdom. Man, that could be rad.

Great review, @Damo. You addressed all my curiosities. I'm not entirely convinced that I'm going to like it, but I'm gonna give it a chance anyway.

I think @JonWahlgren should review this one.

@Sherman — Practice, practice, practice. Plus, having star characters will allow you to reach the green much easier. I scored a -14 on my first try with Yoshi. Second try I went with star Mario and had a -20. I had many more eagles on that run because I could often eliminate a stroke while getting to the green.

Right on, @JonWahlgren! Spidey deserves so, SO much better than this.

I've been playing this like mad, so I'll definitely join in tomorrow. I don't expect to accomplish -22, but I should be able to put up decent numbers.

Video games can rarely make me laugh-out-loud, but this one had me in stitches from start to finish. Hilarious stuff. Highly recommended for that reason alone.

Great review, @Squidzilla!

Do want. I'm a big fan of the show.

This isn't a want, it's a NEED. So ready!

@MoonKnight7 Good to hear! One of my friends said he had a blast with it, as well. Did you play The Amazing Spider-Man? I really liked that one. Definitely has my hopes high for ASM2.

Congratulations, @ThomasBW84! You're a fantastic writer. You deserve great things.

THAT MUSIC.

Last time I got involved in one of these you guys kicked my butt up and down the track. I've been forever scarred by those events.

@DestinyMan - After playing majority of Yoshi's New Island, I went back to play Yoshi DS and ended up enjoying it more than I ever have. And to be clear, I wasn't a big fan of that installment.

@Pit-Stain @DestinyMan @TwoTheNines @Sixmillion @antipop621 @daniruy @ChoppedLiver @bigtig @NorthLightSuplx @ricklongo @ChuJelly @sinalefa @Agent721 @Spartacus3765 @JaxonH @donkeykong64 @sleepinglion @antdickens

Wow. Thanks for all the fantastic comments, guys! They totally made my night. It's nice to see that many of you have had similar experiences, whether it be with DKC or another game/series.

Great job with this, @MegaWatts. I wanted this game so badly when it was announced, so it's nice to get more detail on its development history.

Great game. Played the PS3 version and couldn't put it down. Absolutely hilarious from start to finish.

No one called me out for quoting the poetic genius that is Fred Durst? Shame on you guys.

I keep getting my butt kicked. I wonder how many of you I've played with? I'm playing as Dave and always with a Mii.

This is quite possibly the most fun I've ever had while losing.

I came in 2nd to Michi in that one! Nice racing, everyone!

Just came in 3rd on DK Jungle. I stink. Haha.

I keep experiencing connection issues. Haven't been able to get into a race yet. :/

I'm going to get some practice in now so I don't embarrass myself too badly. See you guys in a bit!

StarTropics for Wii U. Keep talking about it. Hopefully Nintendo will take notice and get something in motion soon. I'd be the happiest guy on the planet.

Thank you for mentioning StarTropics, @Sweet16. There's little that I want more than to see that series make a comeback. So many interesting possibilities for a rebirth on the 3DS or Wii U.

Wow. You guys are totally awesome. Thanks for being the best readers we could ever ask for.
