WiiWareWave had a chance on an exclusive interview with Sabarasa and discuss things regarding Horizon Riders, the eShop. and other interesting info.
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.
Game Rant participates in the Megaton Musashi World Cup, checking out the game a little bit beforehand and winning the first round match.
After being benched for 20 years, and returning only to be forsaken again despite being a splendid game, it's time Kid Icarus gets salvation.
its a shame that they had to cancel their game protocol, but releasing that late into wiiware lifespan would have been a bad move.
Good to hear they're feeling positive about the eShop after their experiences with the Wii Shop... The Wii Shop has been pretty dead for some time now. Sure, there is still the occasional release but not much and Nintendo does *nothing* to advertise them.
It makes me question the wisdom of releasing Retro City Rampage onto Wiiware. I intend on buying it but how many other people with Wii's even know it exists on that platform? Nintendo needs a way of advertising/downloading Wii games via the Wii U eShop because it's infinitely more presentable and more intuitive than the Wii offering.
