Just like the American SNES (just kidding, I actually love the American SNES)

Do n3DS XL systems still come with IPS screens randomly? Or did that whole thing stop a year ago or something?

I’m in the U.K. friend, and I’m wondering what possessed NoA to go with the SNES colours they chose.

Unfortunately as the subject has come up, over here our idea of Black Friday is to take a fiver off a £300 tv no one wants.

They actually answered this in the SNES book that just came out, and it's very interesting!

Simply put, they wanted the colors to match the Game Boy. I never really thought about it, but yeah, it's grey and has purple in the text and the line on the top of the screen. They wanted a "uniform color scheme".

Then they should've made it match with the best Game Boy; the transparent version :colbert:.

Spice Orange GCs and GBAs are much cooler than their purple variants. When Nintendo sent me a GC promo CD in the mail with game and system trailers, it advertised orange being available at launch and then I never saw anything except indigo, black, and silver system.

Edit: there's a clear Play it Loud og Game Boy from earlier than 1998. My sister had one and mine's the grey one that came packed with Link's Awakening.

My disdain for you all knows no bounds.
Finally got around to finishing the Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga remake. It's Superstar Saga, so it's a really good game. On the other hand, it's pretty much the same game as the original with not many changes. (No boss rematch arenas that were in the later M&L games or anything like that.) There's some nice quality of life stuff (most of the tutorials are skippable, and all the combat related ones got shunted to an in-game guide you can read on your own time) but if you already played Superstar Saga before, I really wouldn't consider this an urgent purchase unless you really feel like playing Superstar Saga again. But if you haven't? By all means, get it.

Oh and another big change they made? You always move first in the final boss fight, no matter what.

Not really that exciting. You basically just watch things happen with small bouts of interactivity. And then it gets really grindy by the end because you need to be leveling up a lot of minions to not lose battles at that point. Bowser's Minions is really not a reason to purchase the remake, as the mode itself is pretty lackluster. The cutscenes were interesting, though. But that's the only really positive thing I have to say about it. Thankfully you can ignore that game mode entirely if you wish, as the only impact it would have on the Superstar Saga portion is unlocking new music and gives you items... if you have the right amiibo in the latter case.

The SNES 3DS looks so awesome and I ordered one even though I stopped playing my red N3DSXL once I got a Switch. Not sure if I should return it, sell the red one, or hold onto this for a bit to sell.

It's not as ugly as the translucent lime green N64 controller, which also had the added ugliness of, you know, being an N64 controller.

I wish they'd gone through with the idea of putting an ID chip in the controller that told games what colur it was, so a green controller would give you a green character, etc.

I had the standard gray, atomic purple, black and banana yellow colors. the atomic purple was the only transparent n64 controller I ever owned. My friend had the DK64 console and controller and I was jealous. I just wanted colorful consoles.

I'm still bitter they never released a red Wii at launch like they showed in their promotional marketing.
