Yes, Mario 3 was amazing. I remember when it first came out you had to be on a waiting list to get it. and this one kid at school had it, and he brought in the booklet from it, and he was the most popular guy in school for like 2 weeks. I was soo jealous.

It was such a good game though,. I love the Koopa kids!

Lemmy Koopa is sooo cute.

I used to love the attention to detail in old manuals, especially Mario ones. Getting the racoon tail for the first time was just amazing. I remeber I used to play it with my nan when I was about 3, and only player 1 could pause the game, so I used to be player 1 just to wind her up lol. Mario 2 was good, but not in the same league.

And of course, Super Mario World/Mario Allstars on the Snes

lostalex · 06-09-2012, 11:45 AM

wasn't Mario All-stars just a complilation of the original 3 Marios?

Zelda: Link to the Past was awesome on SNES though. All of the Zelda games are Amazing. I have them all on my Wii from the downloadable games on Wii. Ocarina of Time is amazing too. We had an N64 when i was younger but we never had that game, but i got it on wii, and it's awesome.

Madora's Mask is the only one i don't like, because i don't like games that have a time limit.

Yeah it was, but with polished graphics and save systems and new polished music and stuff

lostalex · 06-09-2012, 11:54 AM

actually wind waker was pretty crap too. But most of the Zelda games were amazing.

The original Zelda was definitely my favorite game on NES, even more than Mario 3. I had the gold cartridge.

Shh Mario Party was fantastic. Remember the one where you had to use the control stick and move in round in circles in the palm of your hand? And it got loads of complaints for making peoples hands sore?

In Mario Party, certain minigames required players to rotate the controller's analog stick. Some players allegedly got blisters, friction burns and lacerations from rotating this stick using the palms of their hands instead of using their thumb. The stick also tended to wear away because it was not very durable.

Although no lawsuits were filed, around 90 complaints were received by New York's attorney general's office and Nintendo of America eventually agreed to a settlement, which included providing gloves for anyone who had hurt their hand(s) while playing the game and paying the state's $75,000 legal fees. At the time, providing gloves for the estimated 1.2 million users of the game who might have been affected could have cost Nintendo up to $80 million.

The analog stick rotation has been used sparingly since Mario Party 2, and Mario Party was not re-released for the Virtual Console. Nintendo skipped it and instead re-released Mario Party 2. Although planned for a Virtual Console release, it was dropped because of the controversy caused by the analog stick rotation gameplay mechanic.
