Editor's Note from Rob Savillo:
While I've grown just a little tired of Nintendo always reinventing the way we interface with video games with each new console (rather than working toward establishing a standard that could eventually divorce hardware and software), Nathaniel asks whether the savior of the industry should bow out of developing systems completely.
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.
While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.
Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.
It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny
Armored Core VI?
Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.
Is something big coming soon to branch the story?
No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).
Trevor in GTA 6 is a sadist and psychopath who dabbles in cannibalism. Should be top of the list. These game “news” sites should hire people that know games.
no hardware no nintendo ip.
Wow did I read that correctly when he said the Gamecube had underwhelming specs? It's pretty much common knowledge that the gamecube was more powerful than the PS2 that generation.
Anyhow, if Nintendo continues to make great games, chances are, they'll continue to be successful. Don't see why we should wish for companies to fail, although I don't see the writer wishing for Nintendo to fail, but is rather looking at the prospect of Nintendo being a software only developer.
Nintendo's the last of a dying breed (a business purely focused on gaming software and hardware), it would be a shame if they went the way of the dodo bird.
I guess Valve could fill the void (steam box), though it definitely won't feel the same (for me, anyway).
Nintendo isn't going anywhere. They rule the handheld market and their ips are the highest selling in history.
The Wii U will be fine and Nintendo will still be around.
I'm so sick of these articles..if Nintendo should stop making hardware then so should everybody else..gfy
