retroed Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Just watching the stream now. I'm going to be all over Mario Golf: World Tour, Kirby: Triple Deluxe and Yoshi's New Island. All between now and May! 3DS is the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Reflex Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I thought that was Vita? I've been waiting for Golf for seemingly ever. Monster Hunter 4 getting a release is nice. Everything else? Pah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Dokuro Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Nintendo will shutdown Wi-Fi service for the DS and Wii May 20 2014. As of May 20, 2014, certain online functionality offered through Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection will no longer be accessible. The discontinued services include online play, matchmaking and leaderboards for many Wii, Nintendo DS and Nintendo DSi games. For a comprehensive list of games and services that are affected, please check http://support.nintendo.com/servicesupdate. Users can still play the games in offline mode, which continues to offer a rich game-play experience. Online play for Wii U and Nintendo 3DS games will be unaffected (aside from the Wii mode on Wii U and Nintendo DS games on Nintendo 3DS family systems). Other online functionality, such as access to the Wii Shop Channel, the Nintendo DSi Shop and video-on-demand services, are also not affected at this time. We at Nintendo sincerely thank our fans for their continued support of our company’s legacy systems.

HandsomeDead Posted February 27, 2014 Author Share Posted February 27, 2014 I'm surprised they're switching everything off. I would have thought that there would still be life in things like the more recent Pokemon games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 yeah, Black/White (and the 2nd games) aren't all that old, even though there is a replacement. But I guess it might be unavoidable if they all just accessed Nintendo's servers rather than specific game ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyKurosaki Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 It's been said before, but all this switching servers off business is going to fuck retro gaming right over. "Hey, do you remember playing such-and-such online?" "Yeah, let's play it again tonight!" "We can't,the servers are off" "Oh. Soggy biscuit it is then!"

Uncle Dokuro Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 According to Forbes Nintendo is out selling Microsoft in hardware Will point out that Forbes is combining hardware - Wii U/3DS/2DS and Xbox One/Xbox 360 sale numbers together. But still way to go Nintendo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Dokuro Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Nintendo demo Mario vs. Donkey Kong for Wii U using Nintendo Web Framework, which is based on Webkit technologies. It will be interesting to see what comes of Nintendo Web Framework. It theoretically can be used to develop browser based games. At GDC, there is a tech demo from Nintendo Software Technology of Mario vs. Donkey Kong for Wii U using Nintendo Web Framework. I had a chance to try it out very briefly and the controls are on the Wii U GamePad. You can build bridges by drawing a line at the red squares or get rid of bridge a by tapping on them. The Nintendo Web Framework is a development environment based on WebKit technologies, supporting software development on the Wii U using HTML5, JavaScript, and CSS. It has support for the Wii U GamePad, Wii Remote, and even JavaScript extensions such as video playback. Its goal is to allow easy porting of apps to Wii U using Web technologies. You can see a couple of quick photographs of the setup that we snapped below. One of them includes the game code running on a monitor, visible for all to see. Nintendo’s Damon Baker shared with us that the tech demo is simply meant to be that, and is not planned to be an actual game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
