While I too am bummed that there is no online multiplayer, it doesn't change the fact that it is one of my favorite N64 games, and I will be picking this up during the first week, im sure.
While Zero Suit Samus will always be sexy, I would much rather own the Power Suit statue. I agree with Ren, it has nothing to do with her being a bounty hunter.
For nostalgia, I am picking this up. Most likely not going to pre-order though, I try to not deal with Gamestop if I don't have to. I will make sure to pick it up the first week though, just in case it's tough to find.
Happy birthday to my favorite system of all time. The SNES represents a time in my life, and anytime I play a SNES game, I just get taken back to when I was a kid and can just have fun.
I am pretty sure I am picking this up. Not a lot of DS games with my 3DS, so I would love to add this to my library. The concept seems interesting enough.
Bummer. I may pick up the 360 version of De Blob 2 because I enjoyed the original quite a bit and it's cheap. Want to pick it up before its hard to find.
I can't wait for this. When I saw the 3D screenshots way back when, I wasn't very interested, but the change to a 2D sidescroller was the perfect idea. The art looks beautiful and it seems like it will be pretty fun.
@BMS16: I would say the 3DS VC is your best bet. I owned both the Club Nintendo compilations and each only had 2 original G&W games...it was very lacking in content. For $3 on the 3DS VC you get, essentially 8 great games. That's a lot of bang for your buck.
Happy Birthday, Samus! I really hope Metroid is one of the NES VC games that we, the 3DS Ambassadors get. Super Metroid is still my favorite in the series, though.
This actually sounds pretty appealing. The last pinball game I owned was Pokemon Pinball on the Game Boy Color, I believe. So I would love to play some Marvel Pinball on my 3DS.
I could really care less about this news. It kind of stinks, but yeah I have been a Netflix member for a long time, and I use it a lot, so I am happy with 2D.
Pretty typical for a movie tie-in game, I suppose. However, I must admit that I actually had a fun time with the movie yesterday, it was much better than the 2nd film.
Not as cool as last years gift, but I don't think the pins are bad. Mainly because I LOVE retro Mario and this could look cool on my shelf. Just ordered mine, but I guess we won't see them for awhile, took a long time for the statue to come last time.
I am kind of with ballkirby1 on this one. I was interested in buying this, because of the date it was coming out...but Nov. seems like it will be right around all the hot Triple A titles. May just wait for a sale, since I have already beaten the game on WiiWare.
My most fond memories were playing Sonic 1 with my sister when I was little and we owned a Genesis. My dad used to travel a lot for his job and I remember one trip he brought me back a Game Gear with Sonic for that, so I also get filled with nostalgia whenever I think about that game too. Last time I was ever truly excited for a Sonic game was when Sonic Adventure came out. I remember renting a Dreamcast and that game from Blockbuster and playing it SO much. Now that they are having that Sonic sale on the XBLA, it was great to pick up SA for cheap and feel that nostalgia again.
I got Back to the Future off Steam, not the Telltale site, so I didn't get Puzzle Agent for free. It looks like a decent game, if Steam ever has a sale on it I will check it out.
What I find funny is how slow Sonic seems to move in all of those games. Wasn't Sonic doing what Ninten-didn't? Which was to move faster than a bat out of Hell. I do think the SatAM game was a cool idea, I have that entire series on DVD and its actually really enjoyable for nostalgia sake.
@iphys Yeah, if you have never experienced the game, period, you need to. I know its my favorite game (as well as MANY others) of all time for a reason. I actually just talked a friend into downloading it on the VC, since she has no 3DS, just so she can at least experience the original. She is loving it, and I know you will too.
You know it is actually really funny; the power of nostalgia, that is. Last night I woke up feeling really sick at like 3 a.m., seriously like I had to throw up. But when I got up and didn't I decided to check if the eShop was up, and since it was I DL'ed SML. Seriously, the second I heard the first levels music it brought me right back to my childhood (SML was my first Game Boy game), and I kid you not, it actually made me feel better.

Re: North American NES Ambassador Games Announced
Awesome. I am so happy for Metroid and Zelda II. I am surprised at how many people are so "meh" about FREE games...can't please everybody, i guess.
Re: Tetris: Axis Swings By 3DS on 2nd October
Tetris for the 3DS? Count me in I just wish they would have a more Tetris DS type game with tons of Nintendo themed levels, music, etc.

Re: A Better Look at Those Samus Aran Statues
While Zero Suit Samus will always be sexy, I would much rather own the Power Suit statue. I agree with Ren, it has nothing to do with her being a bounty hunter.

I have so many memories with my friends and family playing Super Mario World, that game is tops for me.

I love how bright and colorful the logo is. I hope they keep the classic Super Mario 64 colors and font for the final release.
Re: Kirby: Mass Attack
I am pretty sure I am picking this up. Not a lot of DS games with my 3DS, so I would love to add this to my library. The concept seems interesting enough.
Re: Feature: 3DS Games Worth Buying Before Mario
Just SF64 3D for me. :]
Re: Nintendo Download: 11th August 2011 (North America)
Avenging Spirit doesn't look like something I would like, but if I still had my Wii I would download Adventure Island in a heartbeat!
Re: de Blob Developer Blue Tongue Shuts Up Shop
Bummer. I may pick up the 360 version of De Blob 2 because I enjoyed the original quite a bit and it's cheap. Want to pick it up before its hard to find.

Re: Rumour: Kirby's Amazing Mirror for 3DS GBA Virtual Console
The line-up sounds pretty sweet, can't wait to see what else is in store for us loyal fans that bought the 3DS early.

Kirby's Adventure
Mega Man 1-5
SMB 3
Castlevania
Punch-Out!
Re: If Fans Speak Up, Majora's Mask 3DS Might Happen
I never liked Majora's Mask as much as Ocarina, but I would gladly shell out the money to play it in 3D. =]
Re: Review: 3D Classics: Xevious (3DSWare)
Good review, I want to play this since everyone is talking up the 3D effects...but $6 seems to be too much.
Re: Nudge Nudge, Marvel Pinball Rolls Towards Wii U and 3DS
This actually sounds pretty appealing. The last pinball game I owned was Pokemon Pinball on the Game Boy Color, I believe. So I would love to play some Marvel Pinball on my 3DS.
Re: Preview: Super Mario (3DS)
Great article. While it stinks this wasn't a launch title, I think the wait will be worth it.
Re: Review: Game & Watch Gallery (3DS Virtual Console / Game Boy)
Wow, I didn't even realize this was out. I am picking this up for sure this week. Great review!
Re: Sorry, Looks Like Netflix Isn't Getting 3D Movies
I could really care less about this news. It kind of stinks, but yeah I have been a Netflix member for a long time, and I use it a lot, so I am happy with 2D.
Re: In Case You Missed It, We Have the Shinobi 3DS Trailer
Gameplay looks fun, but I am not impressed with the fact that it looks like a DS game. After reading some comments, seems I am not alone.
Re: Netflix Arrives on 3DS in North America Tomorrow
I usually just watch Netflix on my 360, but if I am in the living room (no 360), this would be convenient.
Re: 3DS Getting a Piece of Rayman Origins Too
Nice, but I will be buying the 360 version.

Not as cool as last years gift, but I don't think the pins are bad. Mainly because I LOVE retro Mario and this could look cool on my shelf. Just ordered mine, but I guess we won't see them for awhile, took a long time for the statue to come last time.
Re: Nintendo Download: 30th June 2011 (Europe)
I'll be out of town until Friday, so I hope when I get home I am welcomed by Kirby on the US 3DS VC as well!
Re: Cave Story 3D Hit with Another Delay
I am kind of with ballkirby1 on this one. I was interested in buying this, because of the date it was coming out...but Nov. seems like it will be right around all the hot Triple A titles. May just wait for a sale, since I have already beaten the game on WiiWare.

Re: Nintendo Download: 23rd June 2011 (North America)
Nothing for me today, but can't wait for GBC Mario Tennis to come out, I will buy that for sure.
Re: Miyamoto: Virtual Boy Games on 3DS Could Happen
Yeah, this would be such a great idea. Definitely most excited for Wario Land.
Re: Review: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D (3DS)

Great review, Sunday can't come fast enough!
Re: Sakurai Talks Connecting Smash Bros 3DS and Wii U
IF I buy a Wii U, Super Smash would be the title to push me to take the leap.
Re: First Impressions: Mutant Mudds (3DSWare)
This is right down my alley, will surely be picking this up.
Re: Star Fox 64 3D Lands in North America on 11th September
That's so awesome, just a few months away! Day one purchase for me. Love the camera feed when you play online, nice little touch.
Re: Mario Kart 3DS Video Slipstreams Behind Screenshots
Wow, awesome video! My excitement for the game is now climbing even more. The visuals are wonderful, looks like a portable Double Dash.
Re: Here's 60 Pokemon Codes for Pokedex 3D
Thanks for the link, Skywake. Pokedex really is pretty darn cool. I was surprised at how good the 3D and the Pokemon in general look.
Re: Review: Super Mario Land (Game Boy)
@Link79: I believe he said to hold the Select button when choosing the game, and you will get the border. I know it is a rather cool easter egg!

Re: North America, These eShop Games Await You Next Week
Awesome! I will be downloading Super Mario Land, Pokedex 3D and Excitebike 3D. Can't believe how close it is.
Re: DS Lite Drops to $99 in US, Mario DS Games Go Red
I kind of want Super Mario 64 DS now since I don't have my Wii anymore and I have a 3DS, so the analog stick should be better.
