Meh normal.

The network is fairly new so its bound to have some issues.

PSN never got that kind of forgiveness.

PopRocks3594091d ago (Edited 4091d ago )

That's because Xbox fanatics never knew when to shut it. PSN had a rough start but became better and no one should fault Sony for trying something new. Same for Nintendo.

I was under the impression the service had some fairly major issues... in that it did not work (at all) the way it was supposed to.

Nintendo needs to fix the big issues with the NN on Wii U.

Then Nintendo needs to fully launch the NN on Wii U.

And only then will we finally see the 3DS get the NN, and finally see Nintendo's digital distribution service enter the 2003-era.

If it's an emergency, why wait until next week?

ZeekQuattro4090d ago

This happened maybe 2 weeks ago too. Please substitute the word emergency with routine. Emergency makes it sound like they were hacked or something. lmao If its almost a weekly thing it ain't an emergency especially if its a set date beforehand.

It's referred to as "Emergency" in the US and "Scheduled" in the EU... Maybe NOA likes drama :D

thats so crazy haha.

it will never disappear.

The more they try to stop it, the more publicity it gets. The fact is that Yuzu will forever live on torrent and other sites. Nintendo is fighting an uphill battle.

Inverno1d 17h ago

Another 8,500 will take their place. Smh

PRIMORDUS1d 17h ago

There is nothing stopping these people from working on Yuzu clones and sharing them on torrent sites. Nintendo or anyone else cannot do shit about torrents or usenet.

lucasnooker1d 16h ago

lol Nintendo keep fighting this but it never ends. Why do they feel the need to persist? I guess they are in too deep now they have to

Super Mario 64 DS: Remakes Done Right

Super Mario 64 DS was offered as a launch title for the Nintendo DS, a remake of the classic platform game with a few original tricks.

Not with those D-pad controls

CDbiggen3d ago

Needs more appreciation. I never had an N64 so this was what I played. Sure the Yoshi hat mechanic at first is a slog but you unlock Mario and the others for real and then it takes off. Personally I never had an issue with the controls. Can't forget the mini games and the 4 player rumble over download play.

Indeed, as stated in the article there were tonnes of control options and very much a 'take whatever you like, leave the rest' attitude to most of the game's extras.

Zelda Replay: Majora's Mask

VGChartz's Evan Norris: "Is Ocarina of Time as legendary as I remembered it? For the most part, yes. In spite of a handful of missteps — a few obtuse puzzles, some tedious backtracking, and a clunky stealth sequence — I don't believe the last 23 years have been unkind to it. Ocarina remains a brilliant example of the medium, a landmark game that shaped the future of its own franchise and 3D gaming in general. After more than two decades it retains its inventive dungeon design, challenging puzzles, dynamic combat, wistful storyline, unforgettable music, and empowering open-air freedom. I feel confident calling it one of the greatest games of the fifth generation, even if I'm no longer prepared to list it among the five best games ever made."

Pure unadulterated fun. They don't make them like this anymore...especially not the triple A industry.

Back when video rental was a thing, I rented out Majoria's Mask, I never finished it though. I did buy the 3DS version before the eshop shutdown, so maybe one day I'll finally play through the whole thing, it's amazing how well these games hold up though. I briefly played Ocarina of Time for a while and it was really fun.
