Great article and I'm glad for the timing I'm reading this with the possibility now of Nightmare in Dream Land coming to NSO. I believe i still have the GBA cart but the preservation and opportunity for others to get to play it is exciting. Speaking of which, the announcement of GB/C/A games for NSO takes a little pressure off deciding which last Wii U/3DS eShop pickups to make, at least insofar as first party games that have been announced or seem likely to come to the service.
I'm psyched people will get to play SMA4, I only discovered the e-Reader levels last year on Wii U and they show a clear thoroughline of zany Mario mash-up levels, developed by Nintendo themselves, that was really only picked back up in the super under-appreciated 3DS Super Mario Maker campaign.
