Love whenever such discoveries are made about games and even more so since this one is pretty useful!

Despite his name it would make more sense for Louie to replace Mr. Luggs than Luigi given his food obsession as also mentioned by the article.
Anyway, pretty cool, interested in giving this mod a try myself at some point!

Pretty cool, downloading it immediately and giving it a try when I can!

Haven't heard of this project before, now that I know it exists I'm definitely looking forward to it!

@Azuris I think at least a couple of years ago there were still some in shops here in Italy and of course I see retrogame retailers at conventions having them even nowadays (don't know for how much exactly, probably relatively high prices) but yeah, I'm not surprised that people are holding to their DS/3DS!

I'd also rather play directly on my (3)DS but still, pretty cool if it ends up being confirmed as I'm sure some would enjoy such a handheld!

These mods keep on being impressive and hilarious, kudos to notCHase!

The Faces of Evil and Wand of Gamelon unofficial remasters were great (haven't played them myself, but have watched other playing them) so as long as this is anything like those - certainly looks like the case - then I'm absolutely looking forward to it!

Absolutely not and even more so considering Nintendo isn't making all their past games easily available (and even if they did there would be all the third-party ones which most likely won't ever get rereleased, but that's partially besides the point) - there will be those who will emulate them regardless for better performance, hacks/mods and yes, straight up piracy (and honestly I couldn't care less if they do although I encourage those not doing it straight up to play them pirated for free to also support the official releases), but if they were officially available again most would get them that way, especially considering it would be more pick-up-and-play than any emulator/emulation handheld will ever be!

Pretty cool, hope those who still have their Super Game Boy around (unfortunately never had one), willing and capable of doing this will enjoy it although I do agree with others here that it's quite niche!

Kudos to ScarlettVixen for such an endeavor, will eventually give this hack a try for sure!

Again, while there are some examples of AI used to allow certain games to even exist in the first place and also how to properly use it (https://www.polygon.com/23842925/broken-sword-6-bs1-remaster-charles-cecil) that definitely won't be the case in the hands of (big) companies guided exclusively by greediness like EA and will keep me away from them even more so than before except for the occasional games published by them and made by developers who don't care only about more money in the short term (Unravel and It Takes Two for example)!

So cool, but not having an option to purchase exclusively the digital version means that I'm out - don't get why they keep on doing this and lose on the potential sales of those who can't/don't want to get it physically (and so spend more, potentially quite so, because of shipping etc.)!

Love to see Argonaut back first and foremost, but even more so since I've never played Croc so I'm glad I'll finally have the chance to do so thanks to this remaster!

Love to see it, will eventually play it for sure!

Have never heard of this before, looks great so I really hope Starshi will be able to finish it and I'm looking forward to eventually playing it myself!

Always loved Wuhu Island so I couldn't welcome this anymore, fingers crossed it won't be taken down (although luckily it's already out so I can grab it at least in the current state even if that unfortunately happens at some point)!

Love to see it, makes a great game which already looked pretty good (unlike Mario vs. Donkey Kong on GBA which is why personally I'm glad they made a remake of that instead) even better - maybe this will be my chance to replay '94 and finally finish it myself!

@amongtheworms Glad you enjoy our comments!
By the way, kudos @Zuljaras for making such a cool box for the Castlevania GBA trilogy (and all your other creations), hadn't seen it yet!

Lucky you and thanks for making an article about it, will definitely visit these stores (and also other videogame ones like the Pokémon Centers and Capcom Stores mentioned) when I finally visit Japan myself!

Modern Chef has always been one of my favorite Game & Watch Gallery games so of course I love this, kudos to the creator (downloading it right now and will play it when I have the time)!
By the way, hope we'll see the remaining Game & Watch Gallery games come to NSO sooner rather than later - so far we got only 3, but they should eventually come considering they were all rereleased on Virtual Console if I recall correctly.

Kudos to Marbler for finally doing it!

I doubt we'll ever see something like this from Nintendo as I feel it would be difficult to sell it to the general public - let's not forget that regular Mario Maker already sells way less than the 2D Mario games straight up made by Nintendo -, but happy to see fans doing it at least, will definitely give it a try when I can and fingers crossed it never gets taken down (it shouldn't since you have to provide the rom yourself, but still)!

Love to see it, fingers crossed Nintendo won't take it down - they shouldn't be able to as long as the developer has been smart about certain aspects and we know for sure they have to an extent (people have to provide the roms and so the assets themselves unlike Link's Awakening on PC for example), but still!

One more reason for me to be looking forward to playing my physical copy of Showtime as soon as it arrives and man how I'd love to finally have a chance to play Goemon myself, fingers crossed it will come to NSO at least!

It always felt like the 3DS would've been perfect to play Virtual Boy games (even though I won't be able to use the 3D myself since my eyes can't properly see it) so it's great to hear that it has finally happened, will definitely download and install Red Viper when I have the time!

@bring_on_branstons As far as I know the eReader levels were included when they rereleased Advance 4 on Wii U but yeah, couldn't agree more, that's another great example of what I'd like to see Nintendo do more: include content that was originally difficult to access due to requiring additional hardware etc. - other than of course seeing more systems, not only Nintendo ones, come to NSO!

@bring_on_branstons Absolutely and another thing I'd love to see on NSO which would help making it stand out compared to Nintendo's past, in more than one sense, offerings would be Transfer Pak compatibility between N64 and GBC games - not to mention that it would be even easier than Satellaview and 64DD considering the games themselves are already on the service in that case!

Love to see it, but how I wish Nintendo officially rereleased some if not all of the Satalleview games!

Couldn't agree more with most comments here, this is absolutely ridiculous and really hope someone will put an end to this madness by dumping one of these copies and sharing the game on the internet for free as it should've been from the start... either that or, if it had to be sold commercially, the developer should've got the consent from the copyright holders or just refrained from using such material in the first place!

What a weird but also cool concept, definitely getting this digitally!

@Yoshif3 Really hope Nintendo will eventually rerelease the Satellaview games, especially the Zelda ones (have played BS Zelda and loved it while I haven't played Ancient Stone Tablets yet)!

Will straight up read the original article when I have the time for it as it will be good practice for my knowledge but still, happy that you're finally able to publish the whole translation for those interested who can't read Japanese!

Great article, will definitely consider playing this game at some point!
By the way, isn't "won't" a typo here as it should be "wouldn't" or am I missing something @Damo?

[...] stepped in to handle distribution, and this won't have helped Bushi Seiryuuden's chances [...]

@Banjo- Personally I enjoyed the 3DS version of Majora more than the original because of the quality of life features, but I can definitely see where you and others are coming from about its changes.
I liked Breath of the Wild and so far Tears of the Kingdom is overall even better for me, but I really hope we'll still get also more "traditional" Zelda games, both 3D and 2D - at least in the form of ports, remasters and/or remakes, but definitely would love new ones, too!

@Banjo- Majora is debatable because of the changes, but in Ocarina's case if they ever want to remake it again they definitely should base it on the already excellent 3DS version!

Only saw the original on N64 at a friend's house, then got it on GameCube thanks to the bonus disc included in Wind Waker but didn't finish it as I got stuck when you become an adult so it was only thanks to the 3DS remake that I finally not only finished it, but completed it and when I did I loved it (except for fishing, I sucked at it and almost got stuck there)... and the funny thing is that something similar - except that I never had that until the Virtual Console on Wii - happened for Majora, too!

Wait, I somehow missed that this game has a Kickstarter when it got mentioned on Nintendo Life, now that I know I immediately supported it at the Digital ( With Switch!) tier!

I've never finished Zelda II, maybe this remaster will finally be my chance to do so thanks to its several quality-of-life improvements!

Great news, I loved this game as a kid so I'm definitely looking forward to this version, but I also hope Konami will eventually rerelease the original!

Happy Anniversary Super Mario Bros. 3!
Unfortunately didn't have it as a kid, only played it for the first time by emulating it - most likely the Super Mario All-Stars version!

Happy anniversary Game Boy Color, it's thanks to you that I got to play not only exclusive GBC games, but also GB ones since we've never had the original Game Boy at home!
We got a red one which became my sister's and a yellow Pikachu one which became mine.

Looks good so backed it up, thanks for making us know about it through this article!

Nowadays I mostly play in handheld not only retro games, but any game in general.

Already a great article at the start and even more so by the end since it includes an analysis by 8-Bit Music Theory!

@PMurphy1978 If that's the case while still a bummer I totally get it, I had only heard about the other reason with which I disagree as stated in my previous comment!
If I have the chance I'll consider getting it physically then and regardless, kudos for making it and good luck on the sequel!

Would've loved getting this, but unfortunately it's only physical to contrasto piracy... except that those people Will find a way while they lost a potential client like me for sure!
That aside, hope everyone who can get it will enjoy it, looks great!

Say what you want about piracy, but I'm so happy that it comes to the rescue when it comes to preserving and/or making more accessible videogames as people like me wouldn't be as big videogame fans as they are today, and so supporting official releases as much as possible, if it weren't for that!

I love the Banjo-Kazooie series and I hope that at least all games will be made available on modern (Nintendo) consoles, although I'd be ecstatic if they actually made a new game!

@Sketcz Oh, I do agree with some points made by Rica, just felt that some precisations were necessary like the history of guns in Japan and that for this specific topic it wasn't necessary to go back relatively that far into the past!
The thing is, the fascination for Western cultures started even earlier than Meiji even though it had a boom in that period, let's not forget Rangaku during the Edo era for example, and before that Japan adopted Chinese and Korean models... which brings me back to my point: while of course past events contributed to it, Japanese RPGs mostly take place in European Fantasy settings primarily because of the influences mentioned by you and others at that specific time, for example jidaigeki TV shows etc. not being cool for Japanese kids at the time as Matt Fitsko mentioned.
That said, the what if scenario you proposed is a quite interesting topic on its own!
