I am not very deep into TOTK yet, but so far i got a strange open world Scribblenaut Vibe with this game... With slices of Pilotwings hangliding and World of Goo mixed in. Nintendo is just a master when it comes to re-arranging/re-using concepts in new ways.
Prehistorik Man was technically amazing on GB with paralax scrolling and Faceball 200 as a true 3d game... or f1 Race as the first 4player game... there are so many noteworthy titles
I can't help but feel reminded of those pesky robots from the netflix show 'Lost in Space' when i look at the art work. Seems a bit generic and uninspired for my taste... metroid must have epic designs to be successful.
I got myself F zero in September 92 ans waited 'til Christmas to receive my Snes Alone ZeldaAlttP...awesome times. Hot myself Castlevania 4 and Mario Kart the following year. Top Gear Xmas 1993, Secret of Mana, Xmas 1994. Inbetween those years i got Turrican, Claymates, X Kaliber and an underwhelming Itchy ans Scratchy game. We used to exchange games between friends, it was great back then. My last game was Bomberman 2. Lost contact to console gaming intim wii ans became passionate for gaming again in my mid 30s!

Dynablaster, Gargoyles Quest and Qix were my first games. What really got lost, is the borrowing and lending games from/to other kids in the neighborhood. Also, we used to sit on the sidewalk, playing Gameboy Multiplayer locally... great times!
Every now and then i still collect original cartridges for my Analogue Super NT. Playing off TV in Switch would also be cool, but a propper Dpad JoyCon would be necessary!
Obviously, the list neither reflects the real cultural impact each console had during its lifespan, nor the economic importance the devices had for BigN in the related competition in the video game market.
Had 136 Golden Coins and was not looking forward for those to devalue to 1,36€. So i got myself NewSuperLuigiU. I reckon lots of people will do the same...
As we don't own a Smart tv, we use the Netflix and Amazon App on our humble WiiU all the time. And we don't buy a new, if the old one is still working.
I assume there are more people not possessing a Smart tv than the regular Nintendolife user might think...
Bomberman local multiplayer is the reason, why my humble SNES is still hooked up today along with the bomberman-themed multitab! They should make a multiplayer mode utilizing several tablets at once and zooming in on the little bombermen. Remember Dynablaster on the orig. Gameboy - that game nailed it
The Super Nintendo really started my love for gaming. I fondly remember that 90s Xmas when it was first available in Germany. Along with two friends in my neighborhood, I made a plan already during thesummer before Christmas. We all owned gameboys and were used to hang around outside on summer evenings and negotiated wich game each of us should wish for regarding Christmas. In September I took all my pocket money savings and bought f zero. 3 month later, finally, Christmas eve... I got the Snes along with Zelda. One friend got his Snes with Mario World and SF2, and the other friend got the console with pilotwings and Sim City... What a mix of games... AWESOME!

Question: does the vc announcement involve my complete wii vc collection... Including my c64 games as well as n64 games. Or do these updates only work for nes and snes titles?
I can imagine that they will implement downloadable updates to each vc title in existance to enable gamepad support because every single vc game comes with its own emulator... Then we propably will have to pay for that update. Nintendo can't rip us off making buy games again at full price. Neither can Nintendo start a new wii u vc excluding their already released classics.
I'll wait one or two years until my Wii retires. Then i assume there will either be a couple of new eshop vc games or a way to re download my library with gamepad support. I fear that soft modding will also offer a solution...
I am 100% sure that the vc catalogue will be fully available for future consoles - at least vc downloads will have to be enabled to be transferred once, like they plan with the dsiware onto the 3ds - so i can't see any reason, why no more games are coming out now. If you can download vc titles to either wii or "wii 2", then where is the (selling-)point...
just think about it: the wii lured due to its blue ocean strategy lots of people into first-gaming-experiences. The question is how many of those first time-video-gamers will experience gaming as something deep and rewarding apart from the casual stuff, so they stick with it. If these are not so many after all then ninty's future sales of whatever will come in the next generation will be lower Good games for a nintendo console have to be easy to get into and hard to master with an overall production quality, bridges for casual gamer to become core gamer (how i hate these terms!). The race is open.
I remember playing the 150cc cups in 2 player mode when i was alone, just to eliminate at least one cpu opponent straight away. Naive thinking one can say... I'll get it someday for sure on vc!
Honestly, this game is perfect for riddle/puzzle loving adults. If one can make friends with the cartoon style, it is the pefect choice. I had much fun with this one!
Wonderful game for anyone who has the patience to "learn" how to get through each level by heart. I own this title since fall 07 now and i am still returning to it regulary. One of the 3 TOP Mega Drive/Genesis games IMO.
i got into this one after having played super paper mario. This one is way superior. on xmas i'll reward myself with the gamecube version. The best thing about those paper mario games is that kids (if you have any) just love watching someone play. Our 4 year old has so much excitment for the story. Great game for snes-lapsed-gamer generation
