Softpedia: "Nintendo is clearly a happy company for quite a while now, largely due to the fact that the Wii and DS consoles are selling like hotcakes, even if over two years have passed since their individual launches. People are still queuing up to get their hands on the very innovative Wii console and everybody wants to try out the new DSi handheld device that has recently been launched in Japan.
The holiday seasons have always been hard on Nintendo, because of the massive demand, which the company just couldn't keep up with. We've seen some very interesting statements about the upcoming Christmas season from the president of the company's North American division, Reggie Fils-Aime, who said that the holiday period would be very profitable for the company."
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.
and they will continue to sell like hotcakes..cause the wii is the only innovative system out there.. and the wii 2 will be the best system out if sony and microsoft stick to having they system out for 10 years
