Other perfect Nintendo games: Mario 3, Super Mario World, Yoshi's Island, Mario Galaxy 2, Mario 3D World, Link To The Past, Splatoon, Super Smash Bros. Melee (even if you prefer other games, and I prefer 4, Melee defined the series for a reason), Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze, Captain Toad.

Nintendo games tend to have a huge amount of polish and not a lot of flaws, although unsurprisingly the Mario series has the largest number of perfect games. It's the simplest and most focused on doing one thing. Nintendo games tend to just do one thing and do it well, unlike a lot of AAA titles that try to do a ton of things and don't pull them all off. I think this is also why the Zelda series has the most missteps of a mainline Nintendo franchise: they're the most complex and have the most different parts and pieces.

I just played through N64 Paper Mario and it really stuck me how fresh and modern it felt. The graphical style still looks great, which isn't something you can say about many N64 games. Beyond graphics, everything in the game felt well explained, no odd translations, no status effects you would need to look up in the manual, nothing like that.

It's a lot harder to sell a product to a customer who doesn't know what it is, or whose misunderstanding of the product drives them away.

People didn't want to buy a $300 Wii controller, and they thought the Wii U was that, so they didn't buy it. That wasn't the only factor, of course, but it was in the mix.

NSMB is such a weird franchise where the most recent one (U) is easily one of the best 2D Mario games ever made (not SMB3 or SMW good, but still really good), and yet the series is so stagnated that it's hard to give a drat about it.

It's a huge amount of cumulative incremental changes but the basic systems still feel rooted in what was possible to achieve on the technology of the original gameboy, which is something I find kind of frustrating. Like, if you gave someone the core gameplay ideas of Pokemon today, (catching monsters; competing in a national monster-fighting competition system; and also using your monsters to beat some "bad guys") you definitely wouldn't end up with X&Y. There's scope to take the game to much more interesting places mechanically, but there's no chance that it'll actually go there.

JRPGs are cool.

All of the Tegra family of processors are actually really good at FP16 operations which the other customers don't even natively support, so you would actually be able to run certain engines(mainly unreal 4) super well on this thing and get comparable results to the more powerful over that are having to brute force it.

It's cool how strict Yoshi's Wooly World is about colors of yarn. Like the yarn ball you get for eating an enemy matches the enemies main color, the yarn collectibles for the yoshi unlocks match the colors of the yoshi itself, and the color balls on unlocked level are all logical as well. There's so much attention to detail in that game.

I 100% thought I was done with Mario Kart forever, had just played enough, and wasn't sure why I had bought even the DS version because I was tired of it by then. But then they had that Buy 1 Get 1 deal for MK8's launch, and Best Buy also had a nice preorder deal on top of that, so I figured I'd try it anyway. And I love so so much.
