villa4europe Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 They'd have to do it with pretty much all of the n64 virtual console line up but when the snes one sells like hot cakes it will almost be inevitable, it'll have OoT on it and probably sell like hot cakes too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine along with Zelda you would gave Mario 64, Mario kart, Mario party 1, banjo kazoo is, perfect dark and star fox. Wow so many great games on that console and I haven't even mentioned goldeneye ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rino8 Posted July 9, 2017 Visiting Supporter Share Posted July 9, 2017 They should be able to take Diddy Kong Racing, I think. As the reason Rare couldn't take it to Rare Replay were chracter rights. A version of DKR was released on the DS not so long ago either. Think a few character were swapped out and the 'R' logos removed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted July 10, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted July 10, 2017 I still possess, and play on a fairly regular basis, my N64. However, they just don't work very well on a modern TV. The colour is dreadful, I guess just as a result of TVs evolving and the N64 not being totally compatible. So a version that actually displays properly would be a big draw for me. It would depend on the games though. I suspect some of the games I'd really, really want may not be included, like Mario Party or WWF No Mercy.

The not being many N64 games on Virtual Console? Because Nintendo. They're more difficult to port, including awkward controls, many look bad, and Nintendo protect their bank catalogue like they're made out of diamond encrusted dust.

I love my N64 too, I agree about the TV part of your post, its looks a lot worse on the tvs these days. Shame you can't have a feature thats more designed to retro gaming like the old tvs. 23 minutes ago, Chindie said: The Rare games?

Shame you can't have a feature thats more designed to retro gaming like the old tvs. Some of the games are unplayable on a new TV. The snow/beach tracks on Mario Kart, for example are either incredibly difficult or basically impossible, as the contrast between the white track and the slightly less white "non-track" is non existent. Makes for some funny races, but isn't ideal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Would love an N64 classic just for both Zelda's and Mario 64. If they could get Turok (1 & 2) and convince Rockstar to let them use Body Harvest that would be amazing. Can't see it happening though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted July 10, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted July 10, 2017 Body Harvest was an amazing game. I'd completely forgotten that was Rockstar! I remember being furious because I thought I'd completed the game, and then later found out unless you played it on hard you only got access to half the game (or something)! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ninentdo should have done this as they made some excellent games for that console Nintendo owned 49% of the Rare stock. When it became kind've obvious that Rare were looking for someone to buy the company wholesale, Microsoft jumped in and bought up the rest, leaving Nintendo with no real option but to sell their share. Even Rare's founders aren't sure why Nintendo didn't buy them, given how well they'd worked together the past. I've always had a soft spot for Rare, what with them being a local company. Seeing them reduced to making crappy Kinect games makes me sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LakotaDakota Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Seems like everyone is at it Atari Box coming soon(ish) Our objective is to create a new product that stays true to our heritage while appealing to both old and new fans of Atari. Inspired by classic Atari design elements (such as the iconic use of wood, ribbed lines, and raised back); we are creating a smooth design, with ribs that flow seamlessly all around the body of the product, a front panel that can be either wood or glass, a front facing logo, indicator lights that glow through the material, and an array of new ports (HDMI, 4xUSB, SD). We intend to release two editions: a wood edition, and a black/red edition.

BOF Posted July 18, 2017 Author Moderator Share Posted July 18, 2017 It's hard to see how they can possibly succeed. They can't go head 2 head with Sony and Microsoft. Do you go in underneath them as a 2nd tier console? Almost like how the Wii was used? I dunno. It's interesting, but I think ultimately doomed to failure.

I'd chuck money on it being a mini Steam machine. They aren't going to succeed with a pure retro console and they aren't going to release a completely unique machine.
