I was teetering toward the Super Nintendo also with Earthbound, MK2/MK3 Ultimate, and Super Mario World. The roaming around in Super Mario 64 and flying non-stop with the birdman suit in Pilotwings 64 won me over with the N64 in the end though.

Could do this all day…

Exactly. It’s in no way a bad thing for anyone. We’ll see the way that it’s implemented. It’s the first step. r/Android is rearing its head here. Let’s enjoy this for the moment

Glad that you emphasized Europe. Here in the states where iMessage is dominant, it’ll make a difference.

At the end of the day it’s not a bad thing. I’m also waiting for details with compatibility to be ironed out, but it’s a start.

Just surprised at the whole negative energy with this announcement considering this was a “when pigs fly” or “when hell freezes over” sorta thing. Again, it’s a start and hopefully Google opens it up (even if forcibly by the EU) down the road.

Samsung Messages is the only other, right?
