Strauss Zelnick, chairman of Take Two has said in a investor conference call that they are going to be fully behind the Wii and Nintendo DS. He said that with the current state of the Wii and DS, it's clear that they should develop a strategy for them coming into the 2008 budget season. Manhunt and Carnival Games are already on the way but even more could be arriving on Nintendo systems in the future.
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.
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.
alright alright. Slowly but surely. All these devs keep wanting in on the Wii bandwagon
I think Take Two boosting Wii support is more newsworthy than other developers doing the same thing simply because many ppl think that the Wii is child-oriented (I bet many Wii-scoffers didn't realize that they had something in common w/ Jack Thompson). Take Two is known for their adult-oriented games so this news can be viewed as evidence against that perception.
