N64
What made GoldenEye 007 so good?
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNdpXcVrYmo[/youtube] Was it the controls? The first of its kind on consoles? Something else? Whatever it was, I’m not so sure developer Eurocom will be able to revive the series on Wii, especially after reviewing their unimpressive portfolio.
New Game Get checks in with Wario
Fairly quiet week as far as physical releases are concerned, but WiiWare, Virtual Console, and DSiWare sure are hopping. WarioWare DIY came out yesterday, anyone get it or plan to get the WiiWare showcase title?
The Final Word: Why the N64 wasn’t a huge success (and how the next Wii can be)
Looking back on Nintendo systems, it’s easy to see why the NES, GameBoy, DS, and Wii were such successes. The NES had Super Mario Bros. GameBoy had Tetris. DS had Nintendodogs. Wii had Wii Sports. In other words, they all had must-have launch games. But to get theses games, you had to buy the hardware. Conversely, it’s easy to see why the GameCube never really took off, despite its pot...
Youtube Tuesday: What’s goin on in your Town?
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UzZSPWLpq8c[/youtube] Do you know it has been almost 8 years since the original Animal Crossing was released on the Game Cube? Ever wonder what happened to your town? I’m actually too scared to boot mine up.

Did you know about the Secret Soldier?
If I would of found this anytime I played the game I would of been really upset. I don’t think anyone every really died in a Zelda game before; besides Ganondorf and a whole bunch of monsters and bosses. According to this video if you run in the back alley after you acquire the Ocarina of Time, you will encounter this soldier. It’s strange that no one has ever really talked about this&...
Fox News now Employing Zelda Music
Seems like Fox has gotten some Nintendo fans in the studio. At the 55 second mark during the interview of people around town, you can hear the house tune from Ocarina of time. It’s kind of weird to hear Zelda music during a serious news story, but then again it’s Fox news. Is this cool, or just plain weird?
Review: 20 Years of Nintendo Power is entertaining history abridged
Scott Pelland can write. As a staff writer and later managing editor of Nintendo Power for 20 years (1987-2007), I can’t think of a better historian to tell “the history of Nintendo through the pages of the official magazine,” which is precisely what Pelland did in the special edition of 20 Years of Nintendo Power. After reading it, I’m convinced he’s the grandfather ...
The most Risque Nintendo commercial ever
What you are about to see is by far one of the most risque Nintendo commercials ever released on TV. It was released for one of the most notorious mature rated N64 games, that was developed by Rare. I have to say you will never see a commercial like this on TV again with Nintendo logo following suit after.
