Unfinished mess?! I can barely read this thread without turning back into an angry 13 year old fanboy :p WindWaker may not have been completely finished (they missed two dungeons I hear?) but as far as style, gameplay and open worlds are concerned, Wind Waker is incredible. It's the first game that got me into Zelda and my favourite in the series. But I do think the game would have been fine without the triforce hunt, Nintendo don't have any excuses for expanding the title in such a cheap way.

Can anyone remember the game WALK IT OUT!? It offered great gameplay features such as 'walking using the Wii Balance Board!'. Sadly, you couldn't actually walk using the Wii board and instead had to stand on your tiptoes and then back down to replicate walking, whilst also destroying your feet at the same time. This feature could be fully realised in the next Zelda game, I feel. EDIT: Perhaps that's what the horse riding peripheal was all about. My Pet Epona: Mii + U

On the original Wii Party: "The game has sold 7.94 million copies worldwide as of March 2012." That's why :p EDIT: As a comparison, each Pilotwings game sold about a million each (the 3DS title slightly under). Yeah, it's not always about sales, but with the Wii U as it is Nintendo need to do all they can to get the casual crowd back on board

Yeah, if Amusement Vision did still exist we'd also still be enjoying great Super Monkey Ball games. And I'll be honest, I haven't been a fan of the last few Zelda games, so I'm far more hyped for this Wind Waker in HD than the other mystery Zelda title they spoke of.

That's exactly what I thought, the new trailer reminded me so much of Viewtiful Joe that I just have to get this game now!

The first one was really fun in multiplayer (more so than Mario Party, at least) but the video for this looks far from exciting :p

I can't wait to bully some pigs again, pahahaha (but seriously, YES! HD remake of one of my all time favourite games)

Will anyone be in the chat room? I'll be on standby to post stuff on the front page, not sure if I'll watch it all and then try and do it all in one or do it as it goes along. I don't want to miss any fruit staring action!

The music in Metroid Blast is so good, it's one of the reasons I keep going back to play it :p and I have to disagree about the controls, I thought the wiimote controls were amazing. That said, I usually hate dual analogue so I suppose it's just what you're used to. I totally agree about the lack of online, it's ridiculous, with Miiverse and such, that friends high scores don't appear on the minigames!

If it shows a lot of Game & Wario then I'm happy I can't wait for that game.

I can't get to sleep and all the usual places of leisure are useless at this hour - Reddit, I've pretty much read it for the day (ahahahaa) and Twitter is suddenly all about... WWE :/

If that's the case, then that is some of the worst lighting in history :p

What are some of the best/worst mistakes you've seen in videogames? Be it a small typo, a huge glitch or something so incredibly obvious that you wonder how on earth it wasn't corrected sooner. For me, one of the funniest has to be the original Super Monkey Ball on GameCube. In the game, in all of the concept art and even on the back of the case they managed to get AiAi right, so I don't know why on the front cover he has a hairless, blocky fringe. To make matters worse, this is on every single print of the game. They never changed it. So, can anyone top the 'AiAi penis head' situation?

I never thought I could dislike this lady until now...

@M_rock & @RedShell - Those are amazing! It really makes me want FlipNote Studio (more than I did before!) but sadly I made the jump from DSLite to 3DS so never got the chance I always wonder why the don't let you download it from the DSi section of the eShop :/ And woah, I never knew there was a GBA version of PYORO! I loved the game on WarioWare Touched! (Though it wasn't as awesome as the talking parrot :P) (Just tried to find a decent YouTube video but they're all off-screen and then I come across... PYORO-S?! I never unlocked this on Smooth Moves!) Also, Animal Crossing went from zero to hero in the space of about a month back in 2005. One of my all-time favourite series now, so I'm really glad I got it even if I wasn't too sure what to make of it before buying! The game just oozes charm, and KK Slider is amazing. I don't know whether it's his amazing acoustic skills, his robot scat singing or just his overall cuteness.

Yamamoto Yusuke makes my heart melt, so a guy with any of those features :p

@Ashley I like your response :P But I'm also curious about the weapon story!

2D Mario platformers bore me to no end, especially the New Super Mario Bros. Series, thankfully if it is one per system we won't have to put up with those bland graphics and shockingly bad music again for some time. Pokémon is up there too, unlike 2D Mario games, I don't despise them, they are just very samey. I have to agree with the Zelda point as well, I also played Skyward Sword for a few hours and just couldn't bring myself to go back to it.

As many people have already said, it's not especially about graphics but being part of a vibrant Pokémon world that's exciting. When I look at shots of Pokémon Snap, I just think how awesome it would be for a game to look like that where you could travel on foot and collect PKMN.

The best intro to anything, ever. I didn't used to watch E3 back then, but I can imagine the whole thing would have only needed to be 1.30 mins long.

@RedShell oh man, thank you so much! I had no idea there was a longer version of the song I need to get my hands on that cd. And I never owned the GBA game, played a bit of it though Though I have to admit, I thought the GameCube game was pretty much the same other than a few extra multiplayer modes and weird videos?

I didn't mention some of my favourite titles so far because most of them are by Rare, but back in the day, I'd count them as part of NINTENDO. And with songs like this, they certainly share that same magic. But I must stop, whenever I listen to N64 music I always get far too nostalgic and sad. Someone pass the wine over. EDIT: @Retro_Link - I know, right? :P It should have been the official advert!

@Nyubi Oh man, that file select music <3 I could listen to it all day

This is the image that comes to mind when I think of Mario, what a game, my tiny mind was just blown away when I first ran around Peach's castle for the first time. Also, I don't know what it is about those graphics but I love them. So full of charm. This video makes my heart melt: The temple of time always gives me chills. What a beautiful place. It was truly heart breaking walking out as adult link for the first time, seeing the bustling market place dead, with them god forsaken screaming zombies So corny, so happy, so sassy. And Donkey Kong's voice just kicks ass in this, forget his bloody Scooby Doo voice over of recent years. DONKEYYY KONGA Best bonus content of all time:

dark, PROFOUND eyes (possibly to make up for my tiny crab eyes :P)
