@MrGawain Yeah, seems kind of archaic and pointless in this day and age. But I'm also an insane introvert who would always rather meet online vs. in person.
Galaxy is my favorite Mario game, and possibly my favorite game ever. Beyond that, though, Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World are top contenders.
@GrailUK Same. I know I'm not the average consumer by any means, and it probably helps that I grew up with the NES and "low-quality" graphics, but I really do prefer great gameplay and fun, cartoony graphics over gritty realism.
I upgraded to get to play Ocarina and other N64 games, and the addition of the Mario Kart courses was welcomed. I think it's worth it for me, but I don't understand why they can't just add way more games to each service, and possibly add GameBoy, GBA, etc.
I really don't enjoy Metroid games for the most part (all the backtracking and maze-ness of it all stresses me out), but I know this made a lot of fans happy and I'm glad the series is getting some love.
Well, you got your click. Hey if you want another article idea from a random dude, though, I heard Nintendo is turning Captain N: The Game Master into a feature-length film starring Liam Hemsworth.
I know this will be full of throwaway business-speak and stuff I skip over, but I'm curious about getting even the tiniest peek behind the curtain a bit at that era of Nintendo, so I'll probably give it a read. "Ask Iwata" was worthwhile. Like others have said, though, I would prefer more books by the creatives, but they tend not to be so promotional of themselves.

Re: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge Release Date Potentially Leaked
Absolutely buying as soon as possible and yes, more confirmation of the Direct that is 100% happening.
Re: Back Page: So, What Are We Calling This Not-E3 Conference, Anyway?
Shout out to all my "I hate fun and this is stupid" peeps.
But yeah, I don't even think there needs to be a name cause it's just a bunch of randomness.
Re: Review: Mario Strikers: Battle League - Simply The Best Sports Game On Switch
It's almost like they can give it the score they want and don't have to follow the "consensus" of other sites.
Re: The First Hands-On With Sonic Frontiers Has Dropped
This actually looks pretty cool.
Re: E3 Will Return In 2023, Assures ESA President
@MrGawain Yeah, seems kind of archaic and pointless in this day and age. But I'm also an insane introvert who would always rather meet online vs. in person.
Re: Feature: Inclusivity, Frogs, And Petting Dogs - Wholesome Games On What It Means To Be "Wholesome"
As someone who often turns to video games for relaxation (and usually avoids shooters/ultraviolent games), I'm all for this.
Re: More Details On Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge Physical Release Revealed

The patience required...

Smash killer
Re: Video: Just What Is The Best Super Mario Game Of All Time?

Re: Random: Sonic The Hedgehog's "Ugly" Design Makes A Cameo In The New Chip N' Dale Movie
Movie was really bad. Disney has reached an all-time low.
Re: PAC-MAN 99 'Deluxe Pack' And 'Mode Unlock' Currently 50% Off (US)
@Nontendo_4DS I was the same way with Super Mario 35. It was highly addictive. That being said, I wouldn't mind a hit now and then!

Re: Talking Point: In An Age Of Endless Delays, Nintendo's First-Party Flow Is Extraordinary
@GrailUK Same. I know I'm not the average consumer by any means, and it probably helps that I grew up with the NES and "low-quality" graphics, but I really do prefer great gameplay and fun, cartoony graphics over gritty realism.
Re: 'Hyrule Highlands II' Is Classic Zelda Music With Celtic And Folk Flair
Sounds great.
Re: Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards Joins Switch Online's Expansion Pack Next Week
Yes. Def a good time to release with Forgotten Land riding high.
Re: Nintendo President Says "Most" US Switch Online Users Have Upgraded To The Expansion Pack
I upgraded to get to play Ocarina and other N64 games, and the addition of the Mario Kart courses was welcomed. I think it's worth it for me, but I don't understand why they can't just add way more games to each service, and possibly add GameBoy, GBA, etc.
Re: Capcom Releasing "Multiple Major New Titles" By March 31, 2023
New games = re-releasing old games. Okay, good to know.

@gcunit Ahh yes, that too!
Re: 'Gunbrella' Is a Noir-Punk Adventure From The 'Gato Roboto' Dev
Looks fun and I like the idea of using an umbrella — gives me Shovel Knight vibes.

Switch 2: Switch Harder. You're welcome, Nintendo.

Silksong was never real, like that genie movie with Sinbad.

Re: Kirby And The Forgotten Land Sells Over Two Million Copies In Just Two Weeks

Re: It's Official, Metroid Dread Is The Best-Selling Game In The Metroid Series
I really don't enjoy Metroid games for the most part (all the backtracking and maze-ness of it all stresses me out), but I know this made a lot of fans happy and I'm glad the series is getting some love.

Re: Rumour: Could Switch Get Zelda: Wind Waker And Twilight Princess This Year?

Re: Random: Metroid Prime's Logo Went Through 53 Different Iterations
@sketchturner I work in a marketing division and our graphic designers have come up with 50+ logo designs for way smaller projects.
Re: Reggie Had To Fight For Wii Sports As A Pack-In, And Miyamoto Wasn't Happy
@TheFox Agreed. I think he was just having a moment and not thinking about the bigger picture, but rather being precious about it as a creative work.
Re: Review: Disrupting The Game: From The Bronx To The Top Of Nintendo - Reggie Fils-Aimé
I know this will be full of throwaway business-speak and stuff I skip over, but I'm curious about getting even the tiniest peek behind the curtain a bit at that era of Nintendo, so I'll probably give it a read. "Ask Iwata" was worthwhile. Like others have said, though, I would prefer more books by the creatives, but they tend not to be so promotional of themselves.
Re: Rumour: Super Mario Bros. Film Might Feature Redesigns For Mario & Luigi
Show the designs, let the internet throw a fit, then make them come back with more of an OG design. Worked for Sonic.
Re: Feature: What's Your Biggest Nintendo Launch Day Regret?
Not buying a Switch at launch!
Re: Fans Have Created Their Own Metroid 64, And It Looks Incredible
@Zuljaras As an artist myself, making fan art has helped me draw eyes to my own original work. It's pretty commonplace.
