You can get it on the WiiU via Virtual Console.  My son plays it pretty regularly.  You might be able to get it on the 3DS Virtual Console as well.  Either way its only like 5 bucks, IF that much.  Virtual Console prices the games from older systems pretty cheap because they've already made tons of profit from those games over the years, anyone buying them now its just icing on the cake.

as I said on the MFX Facebook group Great job, very enjoyable and I liked how you handled looking back at Super Mario. Looking forward to seeing more.


Oh and please tell me your going to do Mother2/Earthbound.

I have a few planned out, and I'm currently writing Legend of Zelda.  Earthbound is definitely on my to-so list.

Zelda is my game... played it too death when it came out, no seriously I played it so much I had the entire first quest memorized: all the secrets, dungeon locations, the works. Even tried speed running the game and this was before Speed running was really a thing.

Legend of Zelda is up for review.

I'd like to preface anyone reading it with this:  I know what I did, and I did it on purpose.

Have to admit I laughed out loud when you did the thing that you know what you did.

Someone didn't read my comment here about knowing what I did.  But I'm glad you were entertained by it.

Still not sure why this isn't called Stoner's Pot Palace.
