Nintendo Enthusiast's Ryan C.: "During the recent financial results meeting, President Iwata stated that there will be a Nintendo DS Virtual Console on the Wii U. I was late getting a DS, so this makes me very excited. I’ve played New Super Mario Bros. and Pokemon Black, but to say that I’ve missed some games would be an understatement. I honestly think having a DS Virtual Console could fix a number of issues currently plaguing the Wii U. Now, I’m not trying to jump on the Wii U bandwagon of hate, but having some DS games available is simply a good thing."
Nintendo made a significant move by issuing a DMCA notice to take down more than 8,500 clones of the popular Switch emulator, Yuzu.
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.
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.
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 was offered as a launch title for the Nintendo DS, a remake of the classic platform game with a few original tricks.
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.
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.
Will there be a world in which Nintendo makes a console after the year 1990 that isn't completely fucking stupid looking with a dumb ass controller. Because nothing good since the SNES.
I can't wait! I hope they keep it updated with tons of titles. There are many DS games I missed out on.
if mario kart ds was released would it work online with other people on ds's
just release some pokemon games on the vc already. if they arn't going to make a full one in hd at least let me play the older ones as is on my tv and gamepad
