Re: Devil's Third Online Servers To Close At The End Of The Year

Mrac

@VanillaLake It's not that easy. The Wii/DS infrastructure didn't exactly allow patches. Even Skyward Sword needed a whole channel to fix that one bug. GameSpy ruined a whole lot of games when they shut down. Not even all PC games that used it were able to be salvaged.

Re: Nintendo Shuts Down Browser-Based '3D' Legend of Zelda Demo

@Kosmo I get your point, but in this particular case the partnership would only have worked if the developer of this tribute used his own assets, characters and world, just like Ittle Dew. A Zelda 1 voxel remake only playable on a browser would never sit well with Nintendo.

If the creators would have created their own overworld I'm sure it would have stayed up longer. Nintendo does not mind fan works as long as they don't straight up copy their games and/or make money from it. This is why various Nintendo fangaming sites can exist without problems. The creator was practically begging for a takedown with this.

Re: Guide: Getting Started With My Nintendo

Mrac

I feel a bit left out since Miitomo isn't available in Finland. It will take me ages to eShop+Miiverse grind my way to the Zelda Picross. Even if I log in to both every single week, I won't reach 1000 points until mid-June.

Re: Twilight Princess HD Nearly Had Wii Remote Controls

Mrac

TP's wiimote controls were not good for anything else than aiming. They literally mapped the GC A button to a waggle motion. It doesn't matter how you move it. Skyward Sword controls would have been too much effort to implement and wouldn't really have a place in TP since it wasn't built around that.

Re: Metroid Prime: Federation Force is Coming Sooner Than Expected

Mrac

I'm looking forward to this game. While it's not the Metroid we expected, it's still a Metroid I want to play. And why whine about it? I'm sure they're working on a big Metroid game as we speak. If you stop being entitled crybabies and just wait a little longer I'm sure it'll be worth it.

Re: You Can Now Register for a Nintendo Account

Mrac

I understand why they would limit registrations for Miitomo since they're only launching it in 16 countries at first. Why I can't sign up for a Nintendo Account in a Nintendo Account-eligible country is beyond me.
