Zack from GWN revisits the Nintendo press conference to find out if the Nintendenite tribe have prospered since last year's ritual.
"It has been a year since I bid farewell to the peaceful yet socially inept Nintendenites. Since then I have seen many things and had countless adventures, but always, in the back of my mind I wondered affectionately about my old friends. Have they prospered? Have they suffered? Have they moved out of their parent's dwellings?
All these questions tugged at the back of my mind. So, it was with great enthusiasm that I received the news that I would be allowed to visit the Nintendites once again, to follow up on my studies, and perhaps gain greater understanding of this kind, solitary people.
7:45 a.m. - I meet the Sherpa that will transport me to the Nintendites new temple. He is a friendly bear of a man, of stocky yet solid build. Perhaps the Nintendites have adopted a worker/warrior class. We set off in the Sherpa's carriage."
Nintendo made a significant move by issuing a DMCA notice to take down more than 8,500 clones of the popular Switch emulator, Yuzu.
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.
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.
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 was offered as a launch title for the Nintendo DS, a remake of the classic platform game with a few original tricks.
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.
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.
