Great Gaming Crusade: "Our flashback features will look at games from today’s perspective and are a bit different from regular reviews. With the soon to be released Ocarina of Time remake for the 3DS looming ever closer, I decided to revisit the original from the faithful Nintendo 64. Why? Because it’s one of my favorite games of all time. Also, because it was fun then and, surprise, it is still loads of fun now."
“There are many iconic platformers yet Kid Chameleon is rarely discussed so allow me to shine the spotlight on this retro treasure.” - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums.
Acquire, famous for games like Tenchu and Octopath Traveler, becomes KADOKAWA subsidiary. Can this mean a revival for beloved series?
I would kill to have a Way of the Samurai game with a huge budget and modern tech... The first game was one of my greatest joys on PS2 back in the day. And I really hope From Software will do something with Tenchu... I hate that they're just sitting on the IP like it doesn't even exist.
Tenchu would be superb in this day and age. Ninja and samurai games are hot right now and more is better.
"The company was unable to focus enough on its main hope"
Nope. Going back to the 32X as the reason Sega lost that generation doesn't go back far enough before the Saturn.
Sega executives need to blame themselves as to why Sega lost that generation. Not Saturn. Not 32X. Not Sega CD. Nope. Executives were the reason why. It wasn't the hardware. Those devices were either dropped early or released to soon resulting in a developer backlash the hurt the game catalog. They really shouldn't have been made at all because they should have planned their next move more carefully. It has nothing to do with the devices. Poor leadership decisions and lack of unity within the company are what happened.
Love how blame is always shifted away from what is the truth. Writing a book placing the blame on the 32X isn't the truth.
This or the Windwaker = best games ever made.
Ocarina of Time truly does have to be in the top 5 games of all time. It was just a jewel of gaming.
sadly i never played this :( i used to have the n64 version, but never got into it when i was 7, better get it on the virtual console soon :)
Easily one of the top 10 games of all time for any system that ever came out or will ever come out ever. As far as Zelda's go, this is tied with A Link to the Past for my favorite in the series. Hard to say which one I'd choose overall.
This game was a CLINIC on how to create masterpieces.
