well why not posted:weirdly they were OK with Puyo Puyo Tetris however Not entirely, actually. Even before Switch was a thing, Puyo Puyo Tetris was only available on PS4 on disc. It was not, and still isn't, available digitally there (or on Xbox One in Japan, where it's also disc-only), the belief being that Ubisoft has some sort of exclusivity deal on a downloadable Tetris game, due to Tetris Ultimate.

Goldeneye and Perfect Dark are pretty much off the table in perpetuity for anything Nintendo. Microsoft wouldn't let Perfect Dark or Banjo-Kazooie go if you held a gun to their heads due to Rare Replay, and Goldeneye is trapped between being both a Rare game and a licensed movie title. Ditto for Rogue Squadron, especially as it is Legacy-canon now. One game I can almost guarantee would be on an N64 Mini, however, is Sin and Punishment. Nintendo have gotten a lot of mileage out of it on Wii VC to the point it got a full-blown sequel, and either they or Treasure put effort into getting it on the WiiU eShop along with said sequel. It also rides the novelty factor of "NEVER RELEASED IN THE US/EU/AUSTRALIA BEFORE NOW".

No, there is a company called The Tetris Company that handles all licensing and they have lots of dumb stipulations about only approving games with certain mechanics (and by association, keeping older games out of circulation if they go against the new regulations), only allowing a select number of games to be available at any one time, etc. Nintendo can better negotiate the release of the older stuff than other companies, naturally, but there are a lot of old Tetris games (and games with the Tetris name like Tetris Attack) that will never be re-released for that reason.

Then why did Nintendo let them use Killer Instinct? Hell the XBox One version even lets you play the original 1994 version that Nintendo helped make.

An N64 classic would be hilarious because you need four controllers for the big multiplayer hits and nobody will be able to find additional ones.

Mainly because those who own original N64's will be cannibalizing them for the joysticks. Also I'd be curious to see if they'd actually do Rumble Paks as an extra thing.

I haven't tried it myself You still have sub-Duke3D-level movement abilities - can't jump, can't fall off of things or knock people off of things. GoldenEye was able to get away with it because it was the N64 and true 3D FPSes were in their infancy even on PC, but the game has simply aged horribly. Find the uncompressed music on YouTube and listen to that while you play something else. N64 won the silver medal in the worst console gen, I'd be real surprised if Nintendo doesn't do some form of GB Classic next year instead.

Plus you have people in the game that are not under contract with WWE (and no way they're putting out a game with WCW in the title). Kinda that same problem with sports titles.

There was 2 versions that leaked online IIRC: 1. An early alpha version that wasn't anywhere near complete, and you selected levels using a developer menu 2. A later version that homebrew devs completed by patching up the source code (there was no multiplayer in this version) The StarFox 2 dev said on Twitter the other day that the original game was mastered, so Nintendo has a complete game sitting around somewhere EugeneJ fucked around with this message at 15:43 on Jun 29, 2017 |

The problem with a GBC classic (or GBA classic) is you can't really do much to miniaturize it. I'd be all for it, but it would need to have a lot more than 20-30 games for it to be worth it versus the treasure trove of GB/GBC/GBA games I have in one small carrying case. Or at the very least it should have HDMI-out with Super Gameboy style color/border stuff when outputting to a TV. quote:What the gently caress? What he said is literally an objective fact, sorry.

We went from really great 2D graphics to ugly 3D graphics for a generation before things started getting passable with the PS2/Gamecube/XBox generation. That's also when a lot more devs started figuring out how to make 3D games work from a gameplay perspective.
