General Nintendo thread

Cool.

IIRC, OOT was originally gonna be on the 64DD.

So there's an indie platformer called Ageless out now. Looks interesting.

Here's where I had heard about the unused beach area of OOT. The article also provides an insight on how Nintendo might eventually respond to the massive leak, though so far there hasn't been any repercussion on their part.

On the one hand, I do enjoy learning about how my favorite games are developed. On the other hand, the data wasn’t obtained in a legal way.

I do wish Nintendo was more open and wasn’t as fierce in their protectiveness, like Sega. However, this fantasy world doesn’t exist.

Just another thing what Sega does what Nintendon't

Honestly I think if Nintendo wanted to render all the leaks pointless, I think it would be cool to make a series of books that show off the unused content. Hell imagine if they did something similar to Rare Revealed and showed off prototypes and scrapped levels via videos. But we all know that won’t happen.

Universal's parent company Comcast said during their second quarter 2020 earnings report that they will be delaying Epic Universe at Universal Studios in Florida, and by extension Super Nintendo World, indefinitely because the COVID-19 pandemic has hit into their profits and they want to focus on what they have at the moment while consumer confidence rebuilds.

Sad but understandable.

Man, I keep forgetting about that theme park.

Of course, that was always likely to be the case.

I'd be shocked and appalled if they did go through with opening a brand new theme park in the middle of a raging pandemic.

This probably means the production of the SMB movie will be impacted as well.

Completely forgot about the theme park.

Studio behind Chibo-Robo and Captain Rainbow rumored to be shutting down

Somewhere, Scott Wozniack cries out in pain.

The LEGO NES has a homage to World 1-2 built into the console portion.

The surprise announcements are back:

Ooh, nice. I never got a chance to play Pikmin 3 since I didn't have a Wii U, and I might just pick this one up.

Making it so that Twitter notifies me of when Nintendo tweets something is shaping up to be a great decision.

If it's anything like the Wii U version, I heartily recommend it.

That's great news!

Not sure if I'll double dip though, I've already played it twice on the Wii U.

He absolutely did not build that himself. I’m sorry, you don’t just not notice that when you’re putting it together.

The base Pikmin 3 for Wii U has been removed from the eShop.

Video of an in-progress Super Nintendo World site found on designer's vimeo account, includes looks at the Mario Kart attraction.

Shame only the third Pikmin game will arrive. Would have been rad to have the whole trilogy.

Still, Pikmin 3 is a neat offer. I hope it includes all the DLC stages of Mission Mode, because I was unable to purchase them in the Wii U version due to regional restrictions.

Maybe if Pikmin 3 sells well they'll remaster the first two games and sell them as a bundle.
