I guess it's not that big a deal but I'm still impressed that you took down SMB in one video. Maybe this venture is a little more feasible than it seems at first glance.

The thing on that list that had me the most sad was that there were 4 million people (nearly a third of N64 owners) that didn't own Goldeneye and similar penetration for Ocarina of Time.

GTA: San Andreas selling twice as many copies as 3 or Vice City also doesn't help my mood much in that regard (though, I suppose that's probably in part due to the notoriety the "hot coffee mod" controversy caused).

Other Gamestops I've been to hire at least one girl with huge tits who doesn't know jack poo poo about video games in an attempt to get nerds to buy subscriptions to their garbage magazine.

They didn't even port it. It's literally a SNES emulator with the SNES ROM on a Wii disc.

It seems so funny to me that only in like the last couple years has it become common knowledge among gamers in the west that Doki Doki Panic was indeed ORIGINALLY designed to be a Super Mario game, then changed part way through to tie in with the TV characters it used. Hell, Miyamoto himself worked on it heavily.

Nintendo was lucky they put Galaxy 2 on the shelves in 2010, because if the SMAS rerelease was the only thing* we got for the 25th anniversary of the most widely-known video game in the world, there would have been nerd riots. It was laziness on an unprecedented scale. They didn't even use the version with Super Mario World tacked onto it, for God's sake!

*Yeah, we also got Mario Sports Mix that year, but no one in his right mind would count that.

Despite the huge collection of Japanese-oriented fandoms in the English-speaking world, it takes for-loving-ever before BtS information like this crosses the language barrier. For example, in the Dragon Ball fandom, a series of in-depth guidebooks on the series have existed in Japan since the mid-90s, but the information and articles in those books didn't start receiving widespread fan translations until about five or so years ago. We're still learning tidbits about the series that Japanese fans knew before GT ended.

So it got Kirby's Epic Yarn-ed halfway through production? Man, Nintendo has a long history of doing things like that.

(Kirby's Epic Yarn was not originally a Kirby game. It was supposed to be a new IP starring Prince Fluff. Eventually it was decided that Prince Fluff was a really boring protagonist and no one would like it, so they crammed the game full of Kirby characters until they thought it would sell.)

Nah, it's normal for game sequels to sell better than the original, especially for games as highly regarded as GTA3 and Vice City. Word of mouth builds over years, people who bought used copies late buy the sequel new at launch, etc. It's also not like San Andres wasn't a great game, either.

Yeah it was basically a virtual console game that they sold for $30. I'm not usually one for consumer outrage, but that was just a slap in the face.

Back in the day, you didn't save your assets from old games. They were done, they've been shipped, why do you need them anymore? They're taking up entire precious kilobytes! That's WAY too much space you could be using for something else. As a result, I think because they were working on Super Mario Bros. 2, they pulled the assets from there instead. They were on hand, the levels were relatively easy to recreate, and you saved a bit of money in the process.

All Night Nippon might have actually come out after Lost Levels, they both came out in 1986 but ANN doesn't have an exact release date. It also apparently has the letter worlds from Lost Levels, and I think Luigi controls like he does in LL instead of controlling exactly like Mario does.

Also if continue makes you continue on that world then what the hell does retry do?
