      I was going to suggest 'Little Sampson', as it seemed to dovetail nicely from SMB3. However, I wonder if everyone isn't burnt out on platformers, no matter how good they are. In that light, I'm going to suggest 'Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!'. The challenge would be to aim for 'Gutted Like a Fish', but if no one achieved it, the player with the most cheevos at the end of the month would choose the next game, with ties suggesting as usual.

          I have a pretty big physical GBA collection and I actually own that. It's a great spiritual successor and I love being able to play it on the go, but to me, nothing beats the NES classic.

            So we got Makaimura from @obsidianspider

            and we got Mike Tyson from @mediamogul

            I'm throwing in Earthbound

            And now we got Vectorman from @meleu

            Anyone else want to throw their hat in the ring?

                  Is there still time to suggest another game?

                  I would like to suggest Vectorman and the challenge woud be Rage Against the TVs.

                    I considered suggesting 'Vectorman' myself. Great game.

                      I'll probably make the poll tonight after I go to the doctor

                            I just caught wind of this great community - but seriously, Super Mario 3 is one of the best games of all time. With its challenging modes and all of the little Easter eggs and secrets, I really enjoy everything that it brings to the table. It’s been cool to watch what you’ve all done with it and I can’t wait to see what other retro games that you all feature during the Game of the Month posts in the future.

                                On a whim, I went a couple of rounds with Mike Tyson today and almost got a TKO. I can't believe I still remember the code to go right to him after all these years and yet I have to think for a minute every time someone asks for my current phone number.
