GameDaily writes: "Wave Race 64 is one of many games that made the 90s so memorable. This enjoyable racer sported the most advanced and dynamic water physics, as well as fast-paced arcade style fun. Even better, unlike most N64 games, it aged remarkably well, making it an ideal pick-up for all Wii owners via Virtual Console."
Breath of the Wild may be an overwhelming favourite for game of the year awards the world over, but the real kicker for Switch lies in its future potential. Mario Odyssey, Metroid Prime 4 and the next core Pokémon have all been announced for the console to universal fan appreciation and, being the greedy Nintendo fans we are, we’re looking beyond those games towards five more franchises we really want to see return on Nintendo’s new phenomenon.
Advance wars = YES YES YES YES YES
A port of Kid Icarus with PROPER controls
A port of Starfox from WiiU with PROPER controls
Animal Crossing
Oh and a port of Hyrule Warriors - Fantastic title
Oh and also port of all Zelda releases - maybe a nice box set with all of them
Starfox Wii U had proper controls. The problem wasn't the motion controls (which worked superb), it was the 2-screen gameplay. Asking the player to try and focus on two screens on a fast paced game was too much, and it proved to have a big learning curve that a lot of people didn't have the patience to overcome.
If they reworked that game so that you only need one screen, it would vastly improve. The motion controls themselves are just fine.
This Week on Digital Fiasco: Dead Rising goes four player, Square-Enix lies about the Final Fantasy delay, Ubisoft game “Pioneer” is lost in space, Remember Wave Race? That’s still a thing , Uncharted gets nominated for everything, Truth in advertising gets a big boost. Also on the options menu, we dig into game difficulty and what pushes you to play a punishing game. But first, we compare notes on our backlog assignments, and find out if the games should have stayed on the pile. All of that and more in this episode of Digital Fiasco.
It seemed a pretty bad excuse to push back a troubled game that's been in development for 10 years, then turn around and say that it's because they didn't want a massive day one patch. There was exactly one thing they had to avoid in order to get away with that statement, and it was not hit us with a 7.2GB download next week.
You had one goddamn job, Square-Enix!
Wave Race 64 (which originally came out on the Nintendo 64) is one of the games hitting the Wii U Virtual Console this week, in Europe. It’s the US version (runs at 60Hz).
Replies(2)same here... broke my leg when i was 12 racing motocross. I was down for a while, and my dad bought me the N64 and wave race... I played the shit out of it for quite a while.. good times.
This is a classic game not played for a while may have to grab it but seriously Nintendo start putting some VC games on the 3DS it's a long time until the End of Feb when Pokemon comes out and there's been nothing in the form of classics for weeks.
