Nintendo unveiling new console.

[b0unce. [?]]

I think a big selling point is they have to find a way to make the console reverse compatible with Wii games on the new console.

Don't know if you're trolling. But these comments really prove you know nothing about gaming. I wonder if you guys even played those games. They are works of art, and will go down in history...

SkinnyPupp, Ocarina of Time?

I agree, I thought Mario Galaxy was a great game but I never got attached to it like I did to Super Mario 64. Maybe because I didn't spend countless hours getting all the additional stars and extras, like I did with Mario 64 in my teen years.
Maybe it's because I'm a bit of a late comer to the Wii system, I only bought it just over a year ago because I got it free with my Visa points, and it was the only system with games my Wife was willing to play.

My little sister bought me the new Goldeneye for Christmas. I literally played through the first level, put it on my shelf and haven't played it again since. The Wiimote and Nunchuck just cannot replace a mouse and WASD.

Ocarina of Time is being remade for the 3ds and its suppose to be release in the summer?


the changes is very subtle, just better textures and added polygon count, you can hardly tell the difference unless you look at screenshots from n64 side by side

YouTube

that piano score seriously brings back memories of those weeknights trying to finish the game while i was supposed to be doing my hw in high school


cant imagine what the video game industry will be like the day shigeru miyamoto dies.....

wow. Nostalgia overload. I think it's time to dredge up the N64 from the depths of the basement.

I was a kid who grew up playing console games during the n64 and ps1 era. Ive spent countless hours playing super mario 64 because of it was like you were in another "world". There were so many different portraits you could jump into and each portrait had its objectives in different parts of the portrait. Shit was insane... From different stages like the desert / haunted house / bowser worlds / sunken ship / snow mountain / lava worlds etc. Every stage was unique, and you would have to go to all the different stages in order to get 120 stars. It was also a bit difficult at times, took effort to collect certain stars especially if you didnt have a guide book and since the internet was not as popular as it is now.

Super mario galaxy was a huge letdown because i was expecting the same epicness from super mario 64. I was expecting a "galaxy" and all i got was an easy game where you had to go through fucking obstacles that were designed to make use of the stupid nanchuk system. I felt like i was playing a game designed for kids and older adults whove never gamed before. It would be fun in a one-time-play sense. I beat the game and never looked at it again.

I hope nintendo will try to steer clear of introducing new gimmicks, and concentrate more on the content and gameplay like their consoles pre-wii. I doubt any "gamer" would choose wii as their main platform to game.
