I have no idea what kind of games they will be playing for it (it'll probably be the newest 3DS and Wii U games) but I think they should try to have games from all the different eras for each of Nintendo's consoles since the NES. That being said I think it'll be an awesome event either way.

Modern Video Games / Re: Is Pikmin 3 already the hardest Wii U game to find?

I played a demo late last year and liked it so I went on Amazon in early January to buy a copy, they only had a few for like 90 dollars each. The next day I was out and about at Wal-Mart and they still had a few at the original 60 dollar retail price and I picked it up, I don't think I've ever seen it anywhere else. Wal-Mart can't ship you one? You could always get it digitally too, but I don't have get ever get the digital games unless they are a Club Nintendo Reward, it just seems like a waste when you could have a physical copy of it.

Now the problem is, I want to play Pikmin 1 and 2 since I beat the third one, but it'll cost over 100 dollars just to get both of them (Even the Wii rereleases) Nintendo should release the older games on the Virtual Console.

The first system I bought with my own money was a used Nintendo 64 back in 2008. My older brothers had one that I played as a very young child but when they moved out they took it. A few years later I had saved up about 70 dollars and was able to purchase a used console with Donkey Kong 64, a controller and an expansion pack.

I own tons of consoles but believe it or not, the first system I bough brand-new with my own money was the Wii U.

Hey,
I don't really do collection videos but I like to review retro games and I make videos about gaming in general. For instance I've made a history of video games series and a profile for every character in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS/Wii U. I just joined this site recently to catalogue my meager collection but it'd be nice to get some people also interested in video games to check out some of my content. The link for my channel is: http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaP0-mRORf1PrgCFjEiEcWQ

I look forward to checking out some of your content and maybe having some of you check out mine!

•Beating Mega Man & Bass with both characters. I don't know why, but this was the hardest game I've ever beaten and I've played some hard games before. This game was difficult not because it's legitimately challenging, but simply because it has tons of cheap, do or die and trial and error moments. I can't tell you how many different times I felt like chucking my Game Boy Advance across the room, but when I finally beat it, I felt like a king! If you had an easy time with this game, I tip my hat to you.
•Beating the haunted house level in TimeSplitters for PS2 cooperatively on the hardest difficulty with my brother and our friend. It took all night, but when we finally beat it at around 4:30 in the morning we jumped for joy and yelled and celebrated, no doubt waking up the rest of the household. I remember we took a good scolding but it was totally worth it.

Some of these are nothing compared to what others have accomplished but these are just two moments that I reflect on when playing a challenging game.
