Not as of yet, but I have been playing Melee a bit lately. I'll be playing Pikmin 2 soon, mostly for the release of Pikmin 3.

I'm finally getting around to playing Mother 3 and I am going to start Pikmin (also for the first time) soon. It really depends on who or what they reveal that determines what I play next, if anything at all. I stopped playing Xenoblade Chronicles halfway through, but even if they revealed Shulk I am still not going to complete it.

Been playing Brawl a lot lately, and will keep on doing that until the release.

Before the trailer I played through Super Metroid, Metroid Zero Mission and Metroid Fusion as a lucky charm for Ridley's chances, also beat him in Metroid Prime since I have a save file right before his fight.

Also just finished Earthbound for the first time, which was an amazing experience, possibly the best game ever released. Also been replaying a bit of Mega Man 2, but not too much, have played it so many times already.

Next up is Super Mario RPG, then Mother 3. Maybe gonna go through Bowser's Inside Story after that, and if SSB4 is much longer away than that, then I'm probably gonna go through Metroid Prime and Donkey Kong Country too.

Not been playing through games for potential characters as much as I'm playing games for characters which already are in Brawl, just to get more familiar with them.

Zero Mission is my third favorite of the bunch. I absolutely love it, and it's the game I've played the most, I can beat it in under an hour without using shortcuts. However, while it's great I think it's just a bit under Super Metroid and Metroid Prime's standards.

In time for Pikmin 3, I'm close to finishing Pikmin 2, doing the last 3 cave dungeons of Wistful Wild. They show no mercy for my Pikmin...

I bought and finished Super Metroid on Wii U; I actually enjoyed it considering I've barely played any Metroid. Tense atmosphere and chilling music.

I'm also playing some Brawl and got back to playing LoZ: Skyward Sword (just got the second flame from the Sandship)

I'm saving for a Wii U. :S So that means no new games for a while. I just re-started my Melee and I'm unlocking everything again. Might play Metroid Prime. I played it a while back though and hated it, but I was like 7 :/

Playing Pokémon Fire Red and Melee. I recently finished Wind Waker, Twilight Princess and Pikmin 2 for the first time and all three are amazing games. After that I'm thinking of replaying Mother 3, EarthBound and Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga. Maybe later I will finally beat Mother 1/EarthBound Zero (my save was lost near the end). Also recently I started a file on Paper Mario: TTYD and Metroid Prime but I've left them on standby.

Also just finished Earthbound for the first time, which was an amazing experience, possibly the best game ever released. Also been replaying a bit of Mega Man 2, but not too much, have played it so many times already.
EarthBound is honestly one of my favorite games of all time, but I think Mother 3 is way better. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did, it's really a great game. :bee:

For games i have never played, I am playing the GOOD mega man games that i have not played (2, X, 5, 4, 6, 1 X2, X3), I will play whichever mother/earthbound game that comes out on the virtual console, fire emblem awakening, I would play xenoblade but it is way over priced, and last but not least the metroid prime series.

For games that i have played, donkey kong country 2 ( imo the best snes game and one of the best platformers ever), super mario sunshine, I will finally finish KI: uprising,my two favorite third party childhood games: Bomberman generations, and Pac Man world 2 for gamecube (I STRONGLY recommend those 2 games to ANYONE) and i will obviously get pokemon: Y, pikmin 3, windwaker hd, dream team, tropical freeze, 3d world, X for wii u, mario kart 8.

Wii games are so dirt cheap now.
Look for Guilty Gear or Go Vacation, they're like 2 bucks. Guilty Gear is a crazy competitive fighting franchise. Go Vacation is like Kirby's Air Ride meets Wii sports resort. A vast open world that can be explored simultaneously with 4 people with over 50 activities to play. Also it's got light saber battling that plays similar to sword battles in wii sports resort, which every wii owner has fantasized about. Wii Music is pretty cool, just outta sheer originality, also dirt cheap. Gonna go ahead and call a wii music rep in smash bros.
I really wanna check out The Last Story, is it any good? Howabout Xenoblade?

Been playing Classic Mega Man, Punch Out, Super Metroid, Brawl, Mario games. Man I love that save state on the WII U for the old school games. May even buy Smash 64 on the Virtual Console next.

Zero Mission is my third favorite of the bunch. I absolutely love it, and it's the game I've played the most, I can beat it in under an hour without using shortcuts. However, while it's great I think it's just a bit under Super Metroid and Metroid Prime's standards.

I really love Zero Mission as well. Too bad the copy I got turned out to be a bootlegged version, and I can't save in it anymore. :( Too late to get an original. Will have to wait for it to be on the 3DS VC at some point.
I loved AND hated THE zero mission though. XD

I picked up Skyward Sword in response to the additional stages, and to gauge the difference between this Link and that one.
