    1. There’s Mario Land, geez.

      I get why others wouldn’t like it, but it was one of the first games I downloaded on 3DS so I have a soft spot for it. It can be done in literally half an hour, but there is charm in how primitive it is. Gunpei Yokoi’s idea of what a “portable version” of Super Mario Bros would look like before a straight port was possible. The answer is, very strange and a little jank.

      Love Super Mario Land for how different it is. Been waiting for it since GB games were added.

    3. They really took their time to add Super Mario Land ~~where’s Donkey Kong ’94?~~

      As usual, I must complete the traditional 20 minutes playthrough on every platform it releases on.

    4. Hell yeah I’m gonna play the crap outta Mario Land. Goat video game music

    5. Nice, I went to play Mario Land 1 the other day and was shocked we didn’t have it yet. One of my first Gameboy games.

    6. I always appreciated Mario Land for the absolutely fucking bizarre Game Boy comic tie-in where the owner of an electronics store gets terrorized by Wart and all the monsters are like, an inch tall.

      My goodness it’s about time they put Mario Land on there. Also missing DK 94 and 64 and the rest of the Wario Land games

    8. They finally added SML 1. I mean, it’s a rough game, but still enjoyable. Alley way is always good, base all was OK. But yea, these are definitely some low tier choices.

      I forget, is SML3 (Wario Land) on NSO yet? It’s still my favorite one of Wario’s solo outings.

      Finally, people can stop complaining about Mario Land not being on there. I bet they’re going to play it so much. /s

      I wonder if they’ll emulate the extreme blurriness of Super Mario Land on the original Game Boy.

      Alleyway is pretty awesome, loved that game. One of my first GB games with Mario Land and the pack in Tetris.

      So happy to see Super Mario Land included. The others are good too though. 🙂

    13. these don’t seem so special when there are emulators on andoid and ios now.

      wake up babe Nintendo is reselling a 50 year old game for the 54th tine

      Super Mario Land is such a weird game. It’s got its own feel, jank, music referencing traditional songs.

      But there’s something about it I love. And I didn’t even play it until I was an adult with a 3DS.

      My nostalgia comes from those goofy Super Mario Land flash cartoons on newgrounds by some guy named Bigfoot

    16. wow, talk about memories. I couldn’t have told you what my first breakout style game was but the second I saw the alleyway art I immediately remembered playing that game a TON.

    17. Btw if you’re subscribed to NSO in Japan you’ll also get The Frog For Whom the Bell Tolls. It’s a great game, highly recommended.
