While Pikmin 3 Deluxe has real value, that could not be said about Super Mario 3D All-Stars. If there were more features in the latter, such as adding Super Mario Galaxy 2 into the collection, 3D All-Stars would have better value.

The terms "Native Americans" and "First Nations" are two different terms referring to peoples indigenous to the North American continent, with "Native Americans" referring to indigenous peoples living in the United States, while "First Nations" refers to indigenous peoples living in Canada south of the Arctic Circle.

It would be interesting one day to see a game that is a crossover of Super Mario and Disney, something that has yet to happen.

I think it is a common cliche in Japanese media to use "20XX" to mean "sometime in the unspecified future," not that an event will happen before the end of the 21st Century as some people speculate. I am certain that the successor the Switch will be released before the end of the upcoming third decade of this century (2021-2030) is over.

Even with the reviews, pre-orders of this collection are high and I doubt most buyers care little on what the professional critics say about it. In fact, when have critics make or break the sales of a game?

When has it now been politically-incorrect to use "Latino" and instead use the non-Spanish word "LatinX"? Anything wrong with a foreign word that ends with an "o"? And what is with the use of Hispanic in one sentence, but Latino in the second? Do both have the same meaning? No! Hispanic refers to a person of Latin American descent and especially of Cuban, Mexican, or Puerto Rican origin living in the United States. A Latino (short for "latinoamericano" [Latin American]) is a native or inhabitant of Latin America (which also includes Portugese-speaking Brazil), or a person of Latin American origin living in the United States. All Hispanics are Latinos, but not all Latinos (including Brazilians who speak Portugese) are Hispanics. The differences between the terms are clear.

Also another concern: why is the first letter in "Black" capitalized, while "white" is not? Should both the first letter of both "black" and "white" be capitalized? A double standard?

I wonder what does "ACAB" mean and it is interesting that Nintendo banned "slave" as a username, but not "master." At least it is not doing what the Mozilla Foundation did by replacing the "Master Password" feature with "Primary Password" on its Firefox browser because Mozilla alleges that "master" is associated with slavery and racism. Really? If so, then Disney will have to stop calling Yoda and Obi-wan Kenobi "Jedi Masters," and Game Freak wil have to stop calling Pokemon trainers like Ash "Pokemon Masters" because "master" is racist and associated with the institution of slavery that was formerly practiced in North America? Has slavery always been associated with racism (which is actually a modern concept as the ancients focued on class, ethnicity and nationality, not race nor skin color)?

Unlike previous Game & Watch handhelds released since the original handheld in 1980, the Super Mario Bros. version is the first with a color LCD screen. Also interesting that the handheld will be released on November 13, 2020, a Friday, the same day as the original Super Mario Bros. was released on September 13, 1985. Friday the 13th on both dates!

It is interesting that the stores that were recently closed are located in North European countries.

The giveaways are nice, but I do not like the steps to participate in the contest. There are too many to list.
