Oh boy here we go! With that Mario 64 PC port out and about. I bet we get a OoT one next!!

I want to know the story of how the source codes are getting leaked almost 25 years after the games came out. Did an old programmer have them and sit on them all this time, or were the codes unlocked from the vaults because Nintendo is going to offer them on Nintendo Online or is using them to make remasters for the Switch?

Undoubtedly illegal PC ports will be made and that’s illegal. But I have sympathy with people who want to play some of the greatest games of the N64 generation, in fact of all time, but have no means to. Nintendo has these wonderful assets and should refresh them for a new generation.

Those codes or engines or whatever didn't worth much untill Switch raised some dust.
So now they got leaked for monez

I think a lot of effort would still be required to make ports off this source code. Still need the assets, and some sort of emulator. Not to mention the source code is programmed in assembly, and to my knowledge it would require a compiler to make anything out of it. Seems like people would just do it themselves with their own code, or use an emulated version, since it's just the algorithms that one could copy to make this into anything. I doubt this is a huge problem for Nintendo, although it's not generally something you want done, as there may indeed be code in there that you don't want out in the public for whatever reason.

Whoa, exciting times! True PC ports on the cards.

I can't help but think it's tied to Ryan Hernandez in some way since he phished a Nintendo employee.

Won't mean anything. People will still buy these games if Nintendo remasterd them on Switch. I'm still waiting for a Mario Sunshine remaster. I wouldn't mind to play some PC ports of them, I have SM64 PC port, but if Nintendo remastered it for Switch I would buy it.

Simon's Quest is better than Symphony.

If you're gonna troll, at least make a legitimate attempt.

Hot damn that's a good list. The only one i never played is AOE2 and i never finshed Chrono Trigger but it was damn good.

Speaking of what's old but holds up amazingly well and plays like a dream.. i played Symphony of the Night for the first time in 2019.. yep that's right. It became one of my favourite games of all time that i replay almost every year. I couldn't believe how good it was. That is almost impossible for me with newer games let alone older ones. Truly a special gem.

LG_Fox_Brazil2d ago

That's a pretty fucking great list

__y2jb2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

The only one I’d disagree with is doom. It shows its age badly I think. After 5 minutes of play these days you put it down.

Yeah. That’s the first I’ve seen it anywhere near #1.

Mario 64 is great but I wouldn’t put it over Mario World.

Not having any Xenoblade Chronicles games on the list is a crime.

CUnit12312367d ago

Sorry lol. I wrote the article but 5 of us voted for many different games and majority went on the list then we worked on the list. If it were just my personal top favorite we'd seen some xenoblade and star ocean as well as some others. Thanks for checking out it!

RavenWolfx66d ago

Chrono Trigger at 31 makes my heart hurt.

Zeldafan6466d ago

Not having any Xenoblade Chronicles games on the list at all is a crime.

Super Mario 64 DS, a Twenty Year Reunion

WTMG's Leo Faria: "Super Mario 64 DS may not have been “better” than Super Mario 64, but it is indeed “more” than Super Mario 64, if that makes any sense. For a kid back in 2004, having a Nintendo 64 classic on the palm of your hand, with more content than the original, and a crapton of amazing minigames on the side, was more than enough to make me ignore the admittedly terrible controls I had to put up with. Two decades later, it bizarrely holds up. I can easily affirm it’s one of my favorite remakes of all time, even if it’s far from perfect… hell, possibly not even better than the game it was supposed to be an improvement of."
