@BLPs That's really sad. One would think people studying game design would be more open minded.

@BLPs You are really passionate about game development so it's sad that you seem to have some really ignorant people in your course. Just stay strong and don't let them get to you. Someday this will only be a distant memory.

I simply don't understand some people here. When you despise Nintendo so much why don't you move on. I confess I really don't like Sony as a console manufacturer but I surely won't sign up to Sony fan sites just to spam the comment sections about that.

@BLPs I feel with you. The last days weren't too pleasant to read comments on this site. Luckily I have no booze in reach. : ) Don't let them get you down.

That's sad. A new 1080 or Wave Race would have been great. All this happened until 2009-six years ago. This clearly sounds like a title in development hell which surely soured the relationship between NST and the japanese supervisors. But some are clearly jumping to conclusions or use this article to attack Nintendo as a whole (again). There surely were enough reports from different devs who claimed that the work with big N was pleasant and productive. As I said this happened quite a while ago and surely isn't representative for every collaboration with Nintendo.

I really like the game. It's more fast paced/hectic than Minecraft. It has some flaws (as mentioned the cannibals can break through walls and their arrows can hit you through several blocks-I now spend my nights in the tree top besides my tower which didn't protect me as hoped) but I think these can be easily adressed with an update. My biggest wish would be an option to invert the y-axis of the right stick.

Yeah let's produce Metroid Prime 4, a new F-Zero, Mother 5, Super Mario Galaxy 3 and an iteration of every sports game ever made by Nintendo for a console with a userbase of 10 million. The best idea ever! Throw a few hundred million euro out of the window with no chance of making a profit-but maybe then the fans would be happy. Reggie is such a tool. He tries to argue instead of committing seppuku-I mean he has control of everything at Nintendo.
Sorry for the rant but it gets boring. Ultimately Nintendo has to stay profitable as a business so it has to make sometimes painful and unpopular decisions.

@TromboneGamer
Well at least this game has a water shader. It simply looks nicer than Minecraft's water (to me). I also like the lighting system so I'm sold.
I played "Minecraft for free" on PC for a while and liked it so I will try this out.

This looks really nice. It reminds me of good old Starflight on C64. I'm a big fan of space exploration games.

@DarthNocturnal I'm very happy with a Gamecube style replacement control stick for the N64 controller. These are easy to find on ebay. Highly recommended!

@Yorumi You're right, I was generalizing too much. I spent more time finishing OOT than FF7 and 8 but that will surely vary between gamers. I also believe that there were games where the space was used to put much content into the game (Gran Turismo springs to my mind). But especially the Wing Commander games used most of the space for FMV's. The core game could surely been ported to N64-yet without the videos it would have lost most of its appeal. That's also the biggest problem with C&C on N64.

@Yorumi But what made these games that big? The FMV's. I still think these were the primary reason the Playstation got that successful because they could wow people more than the ingame graphics. I didn't play FF9 but I wouldn't say that FF7 and FF8 where bigger / longer than OOT for example.

@Quorthon I don't understand why the cartridges are always seen as just a negative. Sure they where more expensive and could hold much less data but they where fast and durable. I couldn't stand playing Playstation for the most part because you where frequently staring at loading screens (or those "cool" animations while changing rooms in Resident Evil). And you're right. The japanese third parties apart from Konami ignored the N64 for the most part but it had quite good western third party support (Acclaim, UBI, EA) and especially Acclaim was at its best during the N64 era (my personal opinion).

@Priceless_Spork What a horrifying idea mate. I fear this would drive away even the most avid fans. And even my backlog wouldn't last that long to tide me over this timespan.
If I would meet Mr Miyamoto ideally I would bow to him deep and long and would thank him for the countless hours of fun his games provided but I fear I would have my personal Wayne's World-moment.

@Donutman Yeah,same here. My Wii U gets the lion's share of my game time while the XBONE gets used far less frequently. The range of the gamepad could be better but apart from that it's great.

I think you have to accept that nintendo can't magically bring over third parties as long as you don't buy their games. I always read about gimped ports and stuff while i really had no problems with them. The thing is for most of last generation PS3 had these "gimped ports" (worse frame rates and stuff) compared to XBOX 360 yet people bought the games. This didn't happen on Wii U so there you go. I also think it makes no sense to speculate too much about NX until we get some hard facts.
