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.
The SNES Star Fox was awe-inspiring when it came out. I never really bothered with any after that, though I have NSO Expansion Pack and plan on getting to 64 sometime soon.
I hadn't ever played this before but tried it last night for 20 minutes. It's definitely not a wacky Mario game, as mentioned, but it's a serviceable golf game.
I really don't care too much about graphical fidelity all that much, but yeah, if I had extra cash and it made it worthwhile for other games, then sure.
It's sooooo hard to decide. Is it the generation that introduced the most iconic series (NES)? The one that offered the most console innovation (Wii/DS)? The one that lets you play all the classic games AND modern classics (Switch)? Every Nintendo generation has offered something awesome. Personally, I'd have to go with SNES for its sheer amazing library and number of upper-echeclon games (A Link to the Past, Super Mario World, Super Metroid).
@BloodNinja Dude, Zelda 2 is even more difficult than the original IMO. Those early Dragon Warriors can be difficult too. The cool thing is that they were actually still pretty cool games, just required a guide!
The original Legend of Zelda is a great game to this day, and it was the first Zelda I played (I'm old) but I don't recommend starting with it for any modern gamer. It's non-handholdy to the point of just being straight-up insane. If you want to start "early" with Zelda, go with A Link to the Past.
I've had the game for a little over two years. I play it probably every couple weeks, sometimes for hours, sometimes just for 20 minutes. Never gets old.

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: 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.

Cool collection! TBH I read the headline and thought there was a new Kirby game collection coming to Switch.
Re: Masahiro Sakurai Celebrates Kirby's 30th Birthday On Social Media
@Muddy_4_Ever Nice! I bought Kirby's Adventure at Toys R Us way back in '93 and just finished Forgotten Land with my kids!
Re: Nintendo To Launch Huge 'Spring Into Action' eShop Sale This Thursday (Europe)
@Yas Pretty much. Gosh, I've seen that Mario + Rabbids game "on sale" like 2,000 times.
Re: Poll: What's The Best Star Fox Game?
The SNES Star Fox was awe-inspiring when it came out. I never really bothered with any after that, though I have NSO Expansion Pack and plan on getting to 64 sometime soon.
Re: This Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection Limited Edition Is A Fan's Dream
It looks so rad, but it's too much for me. I would love the artbook if it gets a separate release, though.
Re: Random: Here's Why Nintendo Doesn’t Want You Using The Word "Nintendo" To Describe Video Games
This isn't a comment, it's a Nintendo.
Re: Review: Mario Golf - Strait-Laced Fun On The Fairway
I hadn't ever played this before but tried it last night for 20 minutes. It's definitely not a wacky Mario game, as mentioned, but it's a serviceable golf game.

I really don't care too much about graphical fidelity all that much, but yeah, if I had extra cash and it made it worthwhile for other games, then sure.
Re: Bit Orchard: Animal Valley Brings Game Boy-Style Farming Vibes To Switch
Not crazy about the art, but the music slaps.
Re: Review: Nobody Saves The World - A Thrilling Action-RPG For Fans Of Old-School Zelda
Zelda vibes without out-and-out copying everything about Zelda, and with a unique art style. Intrigued!

This looks dope and it looks like their hearts are behind it. Just give us a RELEASE DATE!!!
Re: Feature: Hot Zelda: Link To The Past Takes From '90s Game Mags, 30 Years Later
Okay, I kind of want to go back to those times when magazines were all we had. Oh, the simplicity.
Re: Talking Point: Is It Ever A Good Idea To Start At 'The Beginning' Of Series Like Zelda Or Dragon Quest?
@BloodNinja Dude, Zelda 2 is even more difficult than the original IMO. Those early Dragon Warriors can be difficult too. The cool thing is that they were actually still pretty cool games, just required a guide!

Re: Hands On: Nintendo Switch Sports Has Great Highs, But Disappointing Lows
Always looking for games to play with my family. Might check it out — hope they make a demo available at launch.
Re: Japanese Charts: Kirby And The Forgotten Land Retains The Top Spot
Makes sense to me. Game rules. Def would love a sequel in the same vein.
Re: Review: Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga - A Triumphant Return To A Galaxy Far, Far Away
I'm a fan of the entire saga, so I'm definitely interested. I like the new perspective too.
Re: UK Charts: Kirby And The Forgotten Land Holds Strong At Number One
Kirby is really fun and charming, with a good variety of worlds and powers. Total recommend.
