Yeah I'll probably preorder it too around that time. The thing I remember most about that game is how well the script was written. I can't wait to go through it again and see if it still holds up as well. I bet it does.
I loved the Disney Afternoon Collection. So glad Capcom put that out. Whilie many people have fond memories playing Mario and such on the NES, a lot of my nostalgia comes from the Disney Afternoon games. DuckTales in particular is pretty amazing. I would say you should try Chip N Dale Rescue Rangers, but technically that came out in 1990.

If it weren't for Animal Crossing: New Leaf, DuckTales remastered would've been my GOTY for 2013.

I'd say stick with the pixel remaster for Final Fantasy. The original NES game had too many things I find annoying. For instance, if two characters are chosen to attack the same enemy, and the first guy defeats it, the second guy won't auto target another enemy. He'll just swing his weapon and miss.
I think the NES version of Marble Madness turned out pretty decent. I had it as a kid.
Yeah definitely a game you'll want to know what they're saying. I first played it on the DS way back when, and i had to get in the mindset that it was based on an old game without a lot of the perks we take for granted now. I still enjoyed it, though.
So for Mar10 Day, they announced the next Mario movie will come out April 2026 (bet it gets delayed), but that's no surprise to anyone. They also announced release dates for Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door and Luigi's Mansion 2. Paper Mario comes out at the end of May and Luigi's Mansion 2 comes out the end of June. I would've thought it would be the other way around, but oh well. I'll definitely be pre-ordering that Paper Mario game at some point.
I kind of doubt it's still on there. Probably on some anime streaming service by now.
Marble Madness is a standout game on your arcade list as it's my favorite Atari arcade game. Shame we never got the sequel.
I love DuckTales on NES. I like pretty much all of Capcom's Disney games.
I don't think Ys 1 is that forgiving. They simplified the controls so it would work on PCs, but forgiving? No. If you think Legend of Zelda is bad, just try wading through those Ys mazes! At least it has awesome music by Yuzo Koshiro, though.
Rumor has it that on March 10, which is "Mario Day" (Mar10), Nintendo will announce release dates for both Luigi's Mansion 2 and Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door. But if I had to take a guess, it'll be out this summer.
The original Legend of Zelda is still one of my favorite Zeldas. I've played it to death so I could probably help you out if you wanted.
Shame you couldn't get the Ys game to work. I'm really looking forward to Ys X: Nordics which is coming later this year.
I love 2D shooters, too, but I'm horrible at them.
I'm jealous you got to play the Bluey game! I am waiting for the price to go down on the Switch version enough to warrant a purchase. I want to play it with my four year old nephew. Who did you play as? I hope my nephew lets me pick Bingo. She's one of my favorite characters. My other favorite characters are Muffin and Unicourse, but they're not playable in the game.
You've seen the Bluey show, right? I think I sent you some links for some that were on YouTube at one point. It's a really good show, though. One of the episodes almost even made me cry! Yeah in the show, the parents go along with the kids games a lot, and are fully committed! It's pretty funny and cool, but at the same time, it's one of the small critics I have about the show because it kind of sets of unrealistic expectations for real parents. But they even have a couple of episodes dealing with that, too, so at least there's that.
