On September 29th, 1996 Nintendo released Super Mario 64 as the flagship launch title for their new console, the Nintendo 64. Nintendo has always believed in focusing on a new “element” from the previous generation and the N64 was Nintendo’s launch into the world of Three Dimensions. We have seen third dimension titles from Nintendo before; Star Fox (Nintendo, 1993) was a huge hit and even earlier third dimension was seen on the early First Person Shooter’s. Gamer’s were used to two dimensional space and Nintendo needed to convince the gamer to not only enjoy three dimensional space but also be able to understand and navigate three dimensional space; It was time to introduce 3D space to the main stream and masses. Mario 64 revolutionized the platforming genre and agreeably carried elements of 3D game play to games today.
It should come as no surprise that Nintendo is pretty protective regarding its IP. Going after emulators, ROM hacks, and reproductions is one thing, but it looks like the firm is starting to aim its sights on something rather surprising: sheet music.
this reminds me of that nintendo facebook social media question where they asked people what their favourite nintendo song was and people posted yt links. EVERY SINGLE ONE WAS TAKEN DOWN
You want to kill a party fast just invite Nintendo. But we are talking about a company who took down pictures of a strategy guide that has never appeared in the west. You don't see Square taking down music or sheet music to Aerith's theme, Tifa's theme, June Mermaid. Memorable tunes stick with fans to great games. Nintendo games have fans that have been routed since the NES. People have Youtube vids showing how to play Zelda's lullaby on piano, violin or my favorite the harp. Nintendo taking down sheet music or those curious about a Japanese strategy guide makes Nintendo look like an asshole to those fans.
Out of spite those people should now out put all that music in a torrent upload and share it (I will seed for them🤣) Then email Nintendo the link to it lol. Good luck taking down a torrent. Torrents and Usenet is the only way to get around anything Nintendo tries to take down because they can't. This is the way to preserve games and game music, without anyone telling you otherwise.
The latest Switch firmware update kills off support for the Elon Musk-owned social media company.
Nintendo Has Acquired Shiver Entertainment From Embracer Group
Great news it shows that Nintendo intends to continue developing ports of AAA games to its next gen platform
Buying studios from embracer now is a great deal, they must be dirt cheap at this point, Nintendo is a opportunist, they wait until someone fall so they get their best deal
I hope someone buys Piranha Bytes, their future isn't looking good right now. I love their RPGs, they're janky as f***, but they have heart and soul.
Nintendo saw the Mortal Kombat 1 Switch port and were like, "Yeah, these guys are worth acquiring."
You can't make this crap up lol
Mario 64 is one of the most ground breaking influential videogames of all time.
Absolutely!! I think this articles explains one of the reasons why that is true.
With out the lessons that game taught Rare, I don't think Rare would've been able to make the best platformer of all time, Banjo-Tooie
