As an 8 year old kid I never noticed a small library as I obviously had no money of my own to spend, I just read NOM every week and looked forward to the next must have that I could beg my folks for. The Snes holds more sentimental value for me but the N64 is first console I ever got my very first game for that wasn't shared with a sibling (Majora's Mask).
KId Icarus has taken a mighty toll on the sliders and Shoulder buttons of two xls over the last year, I can only imagine another Sakurai game will send one of them to bed forever. Hopefully the new 3ds will arrive just in time to remedy the problem.
@ikki5 I think that was because it was right at a time when people had forgotten they even had wiis right at the end of it's life cycle. Xenoblade has gained a lot notoriety since then for being the best example of it's genre in a very long time and I think a lot of people would jump at the chance to see it on their new shiny hd televisions.
This is a game that really needs to be release in hd, nowhere near enough people played it. I would say it is the best game since Majora's Mask, I played Ni No Kuni around the same time and it had nothing on this.
@Airola I do actually agree with you in general as there are certain parts in video games that need the midi. I will never forget when I heard the voice of the first giant in Majora's Mask, that kind of sorrowful wail that was a deep synth clipping so it distorted. That would obviously not be possible if it was just some tall human being sad.
This takes me back to the first time I intentionally waited for the time to run out. Majora's mask was the first N64 game I got that wasn't my brother's as well and this music helps create nostalgia for something that probably wasn't that interesting in the big scheme of things.
Please just give me Terry's Wonderland, that would be enough. My favourite handheld game of all time has been remade but still it sits mocking me from the other side of the world.
I know Dragon Quest IX gets a lot of praise but I still do not think it is enough. It engulfed me entirely and even grinding felt joyous, any opportunity for more people to be able to experience this would be a very good thing.

It would be cool if one section of the track forced you to race from a side perspective.

Re: Feature: A Night At The Theatre With Symphonic Legends
I enjoyed everything apart from Spark, they were just painfully corny.
Re: Pokémon Orchestral Tour Premiering in August
I would go to this in a second if it came to the UK. At least I have Zelda Symphonic legends to look forward to this month.
Re: Movie-based Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Game Coming to 3DS
They will never make a better TMNT game better than Turtles in Time so they should just put that on vc.

@torotoid64 Is it not a tps?

Re: Video: What Could Xenoblade Chronicles Look Like In HD?
@yuwarite Going by that section of the terms of service you pasted it is you who is going against it!
Re: Video: What Could Xenoblade Chronicles Look Like In HD?
@yuwarite Not every law is just.
Re: Video: What Could Xenoblade Chronicles Look Like In HD?
@yuwarite Why would people's minds not be at ease if that were the case?

Re: Nintendo Registers An Intriguing S.T.E.A.M Trademark For A New Game
I don't like that acronym I think it could lead to confusion. "Do you Have S.T.E.A.M?" "Yes I just used it to download Papers Please"
Re: Fire Pro Wrestling Creator Masato Masuda Passes Away Aged 48
This is sad, Fire Pro Wrestling was my GBA launch game and i played the hell out of it.

I have the lamp and I will definitely get this.
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo's Major Wii U Retail Titles Can Benefit From More eShop Trials and Demos
To have demos they would have to make games in the first place.
Re: Review: Yoshi's New Island (3DS)
So that leaves the grand total of good Yoshi games still stuck at one.
Re: Super Mario McDonald's Happy Meals Hit the Flagpole in the UK on 19th March
I will be buying my friends Happy Meals to get those toys because there is no way I would eat them.

If you don't have runner 2 yet then it is essential at that price.

Re: Feature: What We Want to See in SNES Remix
Nes remix 2 should definitely be dlc and not a separate game. I must add that I do love the first one.
Re: Super Mario Bros. Deluxe Set For 27th February Release on the European 3DS eShop
I didn't remember this game being so hard to play and I lofed it when i was younger. I will stick to the non zoomed in nes version I think.
Re: Little Mac Arrives as a Knockout Challenger in Super Smash Bros.
I was playing the original Punch Out as the trailer started yesterday so it felt double exciting, almost like my choice of game made it happen.
Re: Feature: Your Guide Through Dragon Quest Monsters 2
Please just give me Terry's Wonderland, that would be enough. My favourite handheld game of all time has been remade but still it sits mocking me from the other side of the world.

I still have some issues of Nintendo Magazine System lying around, that is the only relevant thing I have to say about this.
