@VR32F1END To be honest, I'm surprised Virtual Boy games aren't on 3DS virtual console. The 3DS isn't a headset, but games can be played in 3D like the Virtual Boy.
The only two things that worry me about Nintendo using cartridges over discs is the possibility of no backwards compatibility with Wii U if the NX doesn't get a disc drive, and how much space a cartridge can hold. Don't get me wrong, memory cards have gotten capable of holding more data over the years (N64 cart can hold up to 64 mbs compared to 3DS carts that can hold up to 8 GB), but what concerns me is the size of the games. Sure, some games have smaller file sizes, but some games like Xenoblade Chronicles X can be around 22.7 GB, which is more than what any Nintendo cartridge has been able to hold so far. But who knows? This is Nintendo we're talking about. I guess we won't know till the NX is revealed.
The majority of the comments are complaining how Nintendo's Twilight Princess HD is blown out of the water compared to the fan project, and I'm just sitting here happy that we at least have some sort of Zelda game to play while waiting for the new one.
@TheHeroOfTime333 I highly recommend picking it up when possible. Just as a head's up, there will be a long update screen because of how often they patch the game.

Re: Review: Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games (Wii U)
That's a shame. One of the only Wii U games of 2016 and it gets a 5/10.
Re: Sega Placing "Huge Emphasis On Quality" With Future Sonic Titles

Re: Nintendo NX Production Reportedly Pushed Back To 2017 To Incorporate Virtual Reality

Re: Nintendo NX Will Be Launched Globally in March 2017
Does Nintendo not want my money?
Re: The Legend of Zelda for Wii U Will Be The Only Playable Nintendo Game at E3

Nice to hear that the game's gonna be balanced a bit.
Re: Guide: Getting Started With My Nintendo
I find it kind of funny how your Mii on the My Nintendo website sounds like a Pikmin when clicked on
Re: Video: See the Super Mario e-Reader Levels You Never Played in Super Mario Advance 4
@FierceRagnar Considering you needed two gbas, the game, the card reader, and the cards, I can imagine why it failed
Re: Video: See the Super Mario e-Reader Levels You Never Played in Super Mario Advance 4
I guess you could that these levels were puts on sunglasses just what we needed.
Re: Fan-Made HD Twilight Princess Update "On Hiatus" Following YouTube Takedowns By Nintendo
The majority of the comments are complaining how Nintendo's Twilight Princess HD is blown out of the water compared to the fan project, and I'm just sitting here happy that we at least have some sort of Zelda game to play while waiting for the new one.

This goes to show how far technology has gotten
Re: Version 1.4.0 of Wii U Emulator, Cemu, Shows More Rapid Progress
Although I don't see much reason to emulate Wii U games (unless if you can't afford a Wii U), I am impressed to see that it is possible.
Re: Random: Fan Ports Super Mario Kart to HTML5
That's pretty cool
Re: Video: Yuu Ayasaki, Voice Actress for Mashiko / Mary-o, is Next Up in Super Mario Maker
@Senpai_Bruh At least Nintendo hasn't put any Five Nights At Freddy's or Undertale costumes
Re: Video: Yuu Ayasaki, Voice Actress for Mashiko / Mary-o, is Next Up in Super Mario Maker
Looks fun. I'm hoping Nintendo puts in costumes of Jibanyan, Cranky Kong, Fennekin, and The Squid Sisters.
Re: The Midway Arcade Level Pack for LEGO Dimensions Has Lots of Retro Goodness
Looks like a fun buy for those who own Lego Dimensions
Re: Rumour Buster: No, That Person You StreetPassed Is Not Playing Pokémon Sun
Anyone who fell for this is kinda dumb. The game's obviously still in development if there wasn't an ounce of gameplay in the reveal trailer
Re: Paper Mario Colour Splash Coming to Wii U
Besides the removal of partners, bland story, and messed up game mechanics, were there any other reasons that Sticker Star is hated?
Re: Poll: The World Can't Get Enough Of Pokémon Yellow, But Which One Did You Buy?
@TheRavingTimes Meowth! That's right!

Re: Video: Digital Foundry Tackles the Native Resolution and Framerate in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD
A lot of people are pretty bummed that the game is 30fps rather than 60, but I'm fine as long as it stays at a steady framerate for the most part.
Re: Opening Details for the Remodelled Nintendo NY Store are Confirmed
I would love to see one of these in Wisconsin. We don't have a LEGO store or Disney store around my area, so we might as well have a Nintendo store.
Re: Splatoon Developers Talk Stage Design and the End of Regular Updates
@Cheesehead302 That would especially suck for those who got the game for Christmas yesterday.
