Finished Super Mario Bros 3, both the NES and GBA versions via the Wii U virtual console. As with Super Mario World, I'd been playing them between sessions of Xenoblade Chronicles.

I think so. The NES one doesn't display this of course, and I played a few more levels after beating the GBA one, so now the file select screen shows '*World 1*' instead of the number of exits.
I still have to do about 2/3 of the eReader levels that were included with the Wii U release though

I guess the All-Stars version is the only other one left after doing all those you mentioned. If you want to try it the good thing is that Super Mario All-Stars was ported from the SNES to the Wii in physical form and the Wii U plays it. |

Hah, yes. I don't have the physical copy in either SNES or Wii form. I haven't modded the Wii-side of my Wii U, and don't feel like hooking up the modded Wii, so two versions is probably enough  Yeah, it was really nice of them to include all those e-reader levels for the Wii U release of the GBA version. Only a small number of the level cards were released outside of Japan, so it was a nice little extra. It would have been even better if they could have found a way to include a 'virtual eReader' so you could access the item cards and such. But, it isn't the end of the world. With the virtual console, you have to accept some limitations (like 2-player multi-console for DS or GBA games). Not too bad. |

I agree, it is crazy to think the full version of Super Mario Bros. 3 regarded by many as the best game of all time is trapped on eReader cards for the GameBoy Advance, the same goes for the DS version of Super Mario 64. About the Wii version of All-Stars, I still see the Nintendo Selects version at Wal*Mart all the time. I have it, it is pretty solid, I recommend it. I probably will also be modding All-Stars into my Super Nintendo Classic. My brother has it on physical form for his Super Nintendo, but he keeps it at his place, and the Super Nintendo Classic is already close enough for me to the real deal. |

The e-reader stuff is cool but really I prefer the 2-player battle mode in All-Stars over that so All-Stars is still the better version imo. And for games I recently beat are Aladdin and Final Fight 3, both on SNES classic. I should remember to post in this thread more, beat a lot of games this year but think this is my first post. |

After about 18 years I have finally figured out how to beat Big the Cat's story in Sonic Adventure, I can finally play as Super Sonic and actually beat the game!

Finished playing through Rise of the Tomb Raider on the PS4. I quite enjoyed it.

I finished off 'Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky' on the PC the other night. I took a break between February and June on this one, but really got into it when I came back.
Very much a PS1-style game in a lot of ways, but I really liked the narrative, and the english localization is great. I picked up "Trails in the Sky: Second Chapter" on the Steam summer sale recently and look forward to getting back into it, as the first leaves off on a nice cliffhanger.
