So even though I've had access to the NES and SNES apps on Nintendo Switch Online for a while now, I hadn't played them yet. There were a few games on there I'd been meaning to try out, but I hadn't yet. But last month I finally decided on a whim to try out every single game on those apps and the N64 and Sega Genesis ones for at least a little bit each, in order of release year! Even games that I'd tried out before and didn't like that much! Even games that I didn't think I'd be interested in such as sports games, RPGs, or games I thought might be RPGs but weren't! That's what I've been doing over the past month. And as of now I've finally tried out them all!

I need some more "normal" entries in my journal, so how about a list of all the games in the apps sorted by how much time I've spent playing them on the app so far? (Not necessarily sorted by how much I like them. Some of them had long opening cutscenes or tutorials, and in sports games I opted to let the game play out until the end even when I would obviously lose by 2 to 40-something. Conversely, there's some games I enjoyed but only played for a bit for now because I was eager to get through the whole selection.)

Red: NES
Green: SNES
Yellow: N64
Blue: Sega Genesis

Bold: I've played the game before because I owned it.
**: I've played the game before, but at a friend's house or in a hotel room.
*: I've only played demos of the game before (the Masterpieces in Smash Bros., amiibo Tap: Nintendo's Greatest Bits, etc.) or played it in NES Remix.
Italics: Enough things about this game seem oddly familiar enough that it's possible I've played it at some point years ago - but in most cases I think it's still safe to assume I hadn't.

Super Mario All-Stars** - 2 hr 51 min (Of the games included, the only one I'd played the All-Stars version of prior to the app is Lost Levels. Now I've played all of them.)
Panel de Pon - 2 hr 37 min (Although I hadn't played this before, or even played its international equivalent Tetris Attack, I have played Pokémon Puzzle League for the N64.)
ToeJam & Earl - 2 hr 13 min
Super Mario 64 - 2 hr 10 min
Super Mario World - 1 hr 43 min
Mario's Super Picross - 1 hr 22 min
Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island - 1 hr 20 min (I've known about this game since approximately 2002 or 2003 but never played it until now! I think that's the longest time span between my knowing about a Mario game and playing it, unless Donkey Kong Country counts.)
Baseball* - 1 hr 12 min (This is an example of a game that has a high play time only because I let the game play out until the end despite knowing I'd lose by a lot...)
Shining Force - 1 hr 4 min
Yoshi's Story - 1 hr

...but I came across this today and decided to share it.

pathvain_aelien, I think you'd like this! :)

Oh man!!! Could this be the day that Nintendo FINALLY brings back Mary O.?! It's probably too late to have her be part of the tutorial, but maybe there could be DLC jobs in the story mode and some of them could be by her?? Or at the very least, a Mary O. Mii costume as DLC??


Version 1.1.0

On October 1st, 2019, an update was made for playing online with friends, minor changes and bug fixes.[17]

Course World

Network Play
Added "Play with friends"
Added features to "Nearby Play"
Added "LAN Play"

Official Makers
Added a list of Official Makers in Leaderboards


...oh. I see Nintendo still doesn't care about the feelings of Mary O. fanboys like me. (Unless Mary O. is one of the "official makers" like she was in the first SMM, but I think we all know that won't be the case.) :(


( Collapse )

Four years ago today (or, in Japan, yesterday), Super Mario Maker was released.

Four years ago as of this Friday or so, I saw Mary O. for the first time, marking the beginning of a long-standing crush on the guide to a game manual.

Ah, bittersweet memories... bittersweet because this reminds me that four months ago, she ended up being replaced for literally no reason in Super Mario Maker 2, crushing any hope I had of seeing her in another game ever again. :(

(Yes, I'm probably going to be posting about my favorite manual guide a lot more than usual for a while, what with Super Mario Maker 2 coming out this month and Mary O.'s fate still unclear and still not looking good.
I apologize in advance because that means these posts are probably going to get even more annoying than usual.
But I recently discovered that I seem to be the biggest Mary O. fanboy in the world if stuff from my own journal shows up so often in Google searches for her, so hey, I may as well embrace it!)

Well, with SMM2 coming out this month and Mary O.'s fate-- oh wait, I said that already in the disclaimer.

To make a long story short:

Notice how I FINALLY have a userpic with Mary O. in it? (I mean, I did have Enya dressed as Mary O. as a userpic, but I FINALLY have one with Mary O. herself!) :D

I also made these ones, but I won't upload them as userpics until I know they're legible enough. So, I ask you: Are these ones legible?



EDIT: Per a comment on DW, I already attempted to improve the legibility of the 1st, 2nd, and 5th ones. So, are THESE legible?



EDIT: Per another comment on DW, here's some more attempts at making the first two more legible. So, in addition to the above, which of these versions of the first two are legible enough? If any? (these are all in one image to save time, so click to enlarge)




I've been wanting to make userpics with Mary O. in them for YEARS now, but until now I never got around to it. Mainly because I had the dumb idea of saving all of my userpic ideas - Mary O. or otherwise - for the next time I got around to making another poll asking which ones you wanted me to make. Which no one likely would have voted on because it would've been too long to read.

And the fact that Mary O. is seemingly being replaced in Super Mario Maker 2 is making me sad about it... and the fact that Nintendo has deleted EVERY trace of Mary O.'s memory from the official site (e.g. the online manual and Super Mario Maker Crash Course) is making me even MORE sad about it... thank goodness the Internet Wayback Machine saved SMM Crash Course and kind of saved the manual!

So I figured, if Nintendo is not going to keep Mary O. or Super Mario Maker Crash Course around forever, then I'll just have to immortalize the best Mary O. and Yamamura moments myself (the ones that'd make userpics I'm sure I'll have a use for, anyway).

There's going to be a Super Mario Maker 2 for the Switch?!


Typical YouTube commenter's reaction: "YES!!! Nintendo FINALLY added slopes to Super Mario Maker!!!"

The reaction of losers who somehow managed to develop an over-three-year-long crush on a random character from a video game MANUAL: "YES!!! Mary O. is FINALLY going to be in another game after nearly three years!!!... uh, she will, right?! I'm gonna be so mad if this game doesn't have an electronic manual..."
