The Mysterious Murasame Castle debuts in Ireland on 3DS VC

Known in Japan as Nazo no Murasame Jo, it's one of Nintendo's other franchises that's usually known only in culturally celebratory articles. Hmm... I wonder if I should make a label for this?

Anyway the game is getting its first official release in Ireland on 3DS VC this week. I can only assume it's gonna be in 60 Hz.

James and Mike play NES Remix!

Man, these guys are totally mah bros! I dunno what James sees in Dr. Mario though. I much prefer Wario's Woods.

Nintendo World Championships on NES Remix 2!

Very nice addition! The games featured here are Mario 1, 3 and Dr. Mario. I assume the scoring scheme matches that of the Nintendo World Championships NES cartridges. It's a very nice tribute. You need to have both NES Remix 1 and 2 to have access to this.

Super Luigi Bros on NES Remix 2

This is pretty cool. Going from right to left is unusual and takes a bit to get used to and you have Lost Levels jumping physics to deal with as well. Well worth a try though.

NES Remix 2 has replay videos!

Just got this and it's got some really cool features.

One of them is the replay videos of other people's performance, just like what we've seen in Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze! I love this feature and I hope to see it in many future games too.

Playing some more NES Remix 1 before 2 comes out!

Just thought I'd do this! It's a nice thing that hooks you in and doesn't let go and all of a sudden you're groaning over the game pad needing a recharge again and again since you don't notice the hours flying by.

Some I have trouble with or just don't understand like Baseball and Golf. There are many others that agitate and delight in equal measure too.

NES Remix 2 out this week in Ireland

Horray! Looking forward to this with all the neat little stuff from other games in Nintendo's NES catalogue. That release of Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3 on Wii U VC makes me a bit grumpy though since the SNES version is yet to have a VC release.

Game Grumps doing Super Mario Bros.

Wahey! This is a series you'd think "did they do this already?" but nope! They did 2 and 3 but not this. Still wonderfully entertaining. Over the years I've hung out with many cool people while Super Mario Bros. was being played and I'm glad I'm getting to do it now with the Grumps :)

Wario's Woods is in NES Remix 2!

Yay! I'm quite happy about this because I love this game and more people will get to experience it as a result of this.

NES Remix 2 announced in today's Nintendo Direct

This looks very good! I'm glad they're bringing this out so soon too. The inclusion of an entire remix of Super Mario Bros called Super Luigi Bros is pretty cool! In this you go from right to left and you have Luigi's Lost Levels style physics too. Really looking forward to this one!

Gargoyle's Quest 2 coming to VC!

An OFLC rating popped up for this recently so yay! Gargoyle's Quest 2 is on its way! Dunno which VC but it better be in 60 Hz!

NES Remix now has more control options

An update is available and now you have the option of using a Pro Controller, a Wii Remote or Classic Controller, which is nice.

Mario 3 in 60 Hz for Wii U and 3DS. Horray!

Just saw the listings for this week's eShop release list. One of the best games ever will be in glorious full speed for us to enjoy!

I gotta keep an eye on Nintendo because recently they released Link to the Past in 50 Hz on Wii U VC. Ouch :(

NES Remix looks fab

I've been watching several videos of this celebratory remix of NES game challenges and it looks as fun as Wario Ware and it features a similar notion to the Namco Museum arrangements. I wanna play it!

Here's a great video of Arino playing the game on a Game Centre CX special, along with some young contenders. Lots of shrieking, lots of high-fiving, lots of fun! It's also fansubbed in English. Go watch it!

Game Grumps completed Mario 3 in 29 episodes

Ahh I'm gonna miss the guys playing Mario 3... Generally I find that most waking moments when not playing Mario 3 are spent in longing for Mario 3...

Another great playthrough and I was kind of going nuts when they were in the last Boom Boom castle and they couldn't find the door.

Anyway I could always depend on this playthrough whenever they were doing something crap on Steam Train. (egad, Binding Of Isaac and There's No Time To Explain are ugly ugly fad games)

So, Wario's Woods NES came out on 3DS VC today

Nearly forgot to post because it's so addictive.

By the way, it's the U.S. version so it has different music.

Game Grumps "Best Level Ever" in Mario 3

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLwP2v5-M_0

Heh heh I haven't watched this yet but I'm gonna try and predict as to what level they're referring!

At first I was like "Best Level Ever? In World 6?" when I read the title; but then I thought "Aha! I wonder if they're talking about the level where you have to fly while holding a Koopa shell!". After all, they were approaching it in the last episode.

So now, let's see if that's it and what antics are gonna take place!

Edit: Yep! That's the episode! They weren't driven insane like on a VVVVVV level or something and they were very very patient as they were getting used to the level's fussiness

Game Grumps in World 5 of Mario 3...

They've completed this already and have moved on but I was kind of hoping Dan would go "whoooaaaa!!!" when they got to the sky portion of World 5's map. *sigh* Ah well, they still had lots of fun, we had lots of fun and we're all still together in enjoying this fantastic adventure!

Game Grumps in World 4 of Mario 3

It continues to be a pleasure :) They even do all the levels, including the optional ones because they're having so much fun. That's the magic of Mario 3! Love the part too where Arin makes puns with synonyms of "giant".
