I was skeptical at first especially after reading about the glitches. But me and three friends got a family plan and so we're all paying $20 a year. The other night me and some friends had a blast with Mario Kart 64 online. Sure it could be better but for now, I am pleased!
I played this online with my good friends Luke and Eddie the other night and we had a blast. Battle mode is so much fun... not to mention the racing! It really made us feel like we were 11 again
If somehow they found a way to make cloud versions available through the same wireless signals our phones use, and you could play them on the go, now that would be a spicy meatball
I love Pac-Man and Xevious, but between Namco Museum and Namco Museum Archives, I have what I need. That said, I'll gladly double dip if Hamster does a sale.
I really hope that's not the full list of games that will come to the service eventually. Personally I'd love to see Super Smash Bros, Wave Race, Pilotwings, 1080 Snowboarding, Mystical Ninja starring Goemon, Goemon's Great Adventure, Iggy's Reckin' Balls, Goldeneye 007, Killer Instinct Gold, Donkey Kong 64, Diddy Kong Racing, Mischief Makers, Blast Corps, Body Harvest, Space Station: Silicon Valley, Nightmare Creatures, Resident Evil 2, Mega Man 64, Paperboy, Superman, Command and Conquer, Starcraft 64, Dark Rift, Puyo Puyo San 64, Bomberman 64, Quest 64, Shadowman, Wipeout 64, Goldeneye 007, Perfect Dark, Snowboard Kids 1&2, Chameleon Twist 1&2, Tetrisphere, Mickey's Speedway USA, Hexen, Duke Nukem 64, Castlevania 64, Cruis'n USA, Cruis'n World, Cruis'n Exotica, Top Gear Rally, Extreme-G, Wailae Country Club: True Golf Classics, South Park 64, Mortal Kombat Trilogy, Mortal Kombat 4, Glover, Rocket: Robot on Wheels, Starshot: Space Circus Fever, and Buck Bumble, to name a few.
I really hope the rumors are true, but I'm not holding my breath for Tetris. Nintendo couldn't even mention the name in the Panel de Pon description for SNES, they just say something like "you may know this game by a different name...."
This is a great essay, thank you for writing it! I was gonna make a joke about it being too "progressive" but someone above me did it sincerely! So annoying. Anyway, thank you for writing this.
Holy freaking baboon. Are you kidding me. That's prime. That's primal. That's choice. 👍 I love that they do these things and don't even advertise them. Or I don't know if love is the right word: It's so Nintendo though. Iwata would be proud. Gunpei Yokoi would be proud too. I hope everyone in the world sees this. I think they will also be proud.
NBA Playgrounds and Uno have both been removed and relisted, with those who own the previous versions able to download the new version for free. I don't see why the same can't be true of this.
Does he mean no game can go on sale for that low? Because I know plenty of games that are below $1.99 as a standard price. Maybe going forward they will not allow that.
