Good list. I would shuffle some of the top 20, and super Mario all stars is just too much Mario and technically just NES games right?

Also love that SNES Prince of Persia made it in. I reckon it’s the definitive version

Well it’s too late for prime 2 and 3 now. Missed opportunity. Even if they released them on switch virtual console game cube emulator who is going to play once prime 4 drops?

Dark ages cough cough

Split fiction to play with my girls, then it’s a backlog consideration / ability to resist the urge for tony hawk 1+2 and elder scrolls

Nerd-gasm. Still super sceptical that this will work. I just don’t think link as a silent protagonist will translate well to the big screen. But the casting and costumes look great

I’d probably shuffle the top 25 around a little but mostly agree. The tough thing is the games I totally missed on my journey. I have a bit more snes love too with contra IV and Castlevania IV being up there

I’m waiting for memes about how a girl on a deserted planet still has some creep show up trying to chat her up

Also the ‘isolation’ fans should watch the 7 minute trailer. There’s at least 3 other NPCs who sporadically join in.

I’m secretly giggling at the outrage

Not that I’ve bought a new TV yet, but are people thinking 1080p 120fps or 4K 60fps?

Seems like this one will depart from the series a little, which isn’t always a bad thing. I would still love to play 2 & 3 first too. Don’t know if I will be able to go back after the quality leap 4 will bring

Boom. Money gone.

That will entertain my kids for about 7 views of the trailer. But yeah, as others have said… calling this a Nintendo direct feels disappointing somehow.

The bike animation in MP4 is hopefully going to get more polish. I feel it just needs a little more finesse

I’m pretending I was here from the beginning…

I only joined in 2008. Late adopter, my apologies.

But happy birthday NL team

EDIT: yes I arrived to help figure out the Wii virtual console, which was amazing. And to help figure out which GC games I should try because the GC was to only Nintendo console I skipped.

Me wanty doom dark ages

Slowly taking over the world. Soon the battle for supremacy will begin… Mario vs Mickey Mouse to the death

I don’t think this has hit Australia yet

I’m super keen to go, but getting tickets for the whole fam and actually being in Japan would be a mission

Prime 2 & 3 plz! God I hope this is good.

PlayStation 2 is quickly finding another 10 million sales no doubt

But paying Nintendo’s legal costs will be far more than $17,500

So who had the rights?!?

I’ll pass for now

I have to go for Europe. The tilt of the head in the Japanese version doesn’t sit right with me

More keen for dark ages. But I suppose if any classic comes out I’ll have a crack. Was so awesome playing portal back on the switch.

Damn it. Joe Brum May as well just take a percentage of my income as a parent tax

God I hope this suggest prime trilogy to drop

That was tough. Other peoples results are astounding.

I played the heck out of my 3DS. It would be worth bringing to switch2

Unrelated but I think Nintendo should make NES and/or SNES content free as a sign of good will seeing how well they’re doing right now. Then get rid of the second tier of their virtual subscription service.

It bothers me that you pay so much money to buy the console and there is no token content. I know there are a handful of free downloadable games. If they had included welcome tour that would be different.

But yeah. Own your success Nintendo and reward the customers rather than your shareholders for once.

I’ll just enjoy the retro visuals unless this is the definitive run and gun game. Has to be better than super contra/probotector 4 to get my $$

The video game industry is worth more than the film and music industries combined. Shameless attempts to get on the video game bandwagon

What would feel more Nintendo? Mario jumping on the child?

Seems more about destroying the guy than anything. Would he even have 4.5M?

Haven’t picked up Galaxy 2 yet. Time is far kinder to these games and I feel it shows the iterative leaps in games are getting smaller.

Wait… was there a nipple in the James Bond intro?

It’s sounds good. Damn that’s more money and time gone from my life

Hope you’re going on to bigger and better things! I have appreciated the content you’ve created.

Calling hyrule warriors Zelda got me. The old bait and switch

I mean he only got the job because of his name and meme potential obviously….

Also very disappointed they didn’t hire someone called Mario.

Don’t really care about any games etc. I really just want to experience the enigma that was virtual boy. It never came to my country and was well ahead of its time. It’s like a museum piece to the weird and whacky stuff that Nintendo does

Is that tagline a nod to an old Ferrero Rocher ad? Always wanted to play ghost and goblins apart from getting brutally destroyed back in 80/90s for my 40c in the arcade I don’t think I ever went back.

So Mario 2 on the NES (where you lift the baddies and throw them) is dead to Nintendo?

Just now realising the super Mario USA naming 🤯

Tough poll. 2 x 2D Mario’s at the top is interesting but I can totally understand why with my nostalgia hat on. Galaxy and Odyssey are phenomenal games though.

I’m tempted by both. I think the Galaxy series was phenomenal. But after all stars I just don’t see the point in both. Maybe galaxy 2? But if reviews say it looks phenomenal, maybe I’ll triple dip on galaxy 1 and get both

For the price they will ask, I assume it has a fleshlight feature

I haven’t played through it for probably 30-35 years. No judgement from me. There are far better versions of Mario.

SMBs historical value is far greater than its playthrough value in this day and age(to me). Especially with 3D Mario’s etc. also as I’ve gotten older and more time poor this is not a game I would choose to go back to.

It’s strange having kids that would be my age when I played Mario but they mostly have little interest and lack the skill to play this. I think I would have been 9 / 1989-1990 when I first encountered Mario. Game designers have provided far more options and platformers don’t appeal to my kids anyway

The bike popping a wheelie then going sideways to kill the 2 enemies was super clunky. I hope that’s not close to the final build.

@Azileron ahhh thank you at first I was under the impression it was NA only for now. Rather myopic of me 😜

@Azileron nerdy burn. Love it
