It's a shame that Castlevania isn't coming out today.

that there are barely any titles worth picking up on DSiWare. Nintendo needs to bring the Virtual Console to the DSi.

SpoonyRedMage5311d ago

The DSiware isn't doing too badly, there's already a quite big list of quality stuff and a lot more coming in the near future(Europe still needs to get Mighty Flip Champs and Thorium Wars though!). The DSiware isn't an App store, it's not supposed to have hundreds of cheap games that you'll only forget about after a day.

I'd love a virtual handheld service though.

butterfinger5311d ago

Nintendo needs to stop treating the DSiWare as a quasi-app store with cheap things like the Mario clock, calculator, and such. I still can't wait to play Clayfighter 63 1/3 on the DSi next year when it's finally available. Also, I'm not sure if you all saw this a while back, but apparently Nintendo confirmed a DSi virtual console that will start off with GB, GBC, and GBA first party games at launch. http://gizmodo.com/5181894/... Keep in mind that Denise Kaigler denied these claims as recently as September, but that most likely means nothing as Nintendo will want to make this a fairly big announcement.

SpoonyRedMage5311d ago

Yer, I saw that a while back and Nintendo are known for constantly denying stuff and then making a big announcement about it. There's also the leaked DSispeak channel.

I agree they don't need the small apps stuff but I think they may have been filler until developers were ready with their games and not all of it is bad, a calculator can be useful for instance. The DSiware is much more like the Wiiware than the App store though.

Holy wow, Zombies Ate my Neighbors! I didn't think that would ever hit VC. Now we just need a sequel.

thats so crazy haha.

it will never disappear.

darksky7d ago

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.

Inverno7d ago

Another 8,500 will take their place. Smh

PRIMORDUS6d ago

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.

lucasnooker6d ago

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: Remakes Done Right

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.

Chard8d ago

Not with those D-pad controls

CDbiggen8d ago

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.

kevco338d ago

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.

Zelda Replay: Majora's Mask

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.

FinalFantasyFanatic12d ago

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.
