Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, Videos | 0 comments
Sixteen years after its original release, Super Mario 64 has finally received co-op. One modder has added in the feature which makes simultaneous two-player support possible.
If you’d like to experience co-op, you’ll need a PC… and an emulator.
We’ve attached a video above showing off some sample gameplay.
EA hints that the full Origin experience won’t be on Wii U anytime soon
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
A few days ago, it was made clear that Origin will cooperate with the Wii U in some ways. For instance, players will need to have an account with EA’s service in order to play the company’s games online.
Just how extensive is the connectivity between Wii U and Origin? EA chief operating officer Peter Moore wouldn’t give a concrete answer when asked if the full Origin experience would be available on the console, but he did hint that the service is more geared toward PCs.
Moore said:
“We haven’t made any announcements on that… Origin continues to be a PC-centric service, one that’s moving quickly to mobile, but as things evolve in the coming years we’ll look at where the demand is. But at the moment Origin is very much PC centric and mobile centric.”
Amazon pushes back Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed release date?
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Wii U | 0 comments
There is some concern that SEGA could be delaying Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed.
The console version was scheduled for mid November in North America. Now, just like the handheld editions, Amazon is listing Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Wii U games for December 11. Consumers are also receiving emails from the retailer that Sonic’s new racer is expected to ship in December rather than November.
I imagine there are two main possibilities here: either Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed really will be delayed, or Amazon has no idea what it’s talking about.
Thanks to Lars Havnes for the tip.

Video: Miyamoto arrives in Spain, will accept Prince of Asturias Award tomorrow
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, Videos | 0 comments
You may remember that Shigeru Miyamoto was chosen as Spain’s recipient of the Prince of Asturias Award. Following the announcement several months ago, Miyamoto has finally arrived in the country and will be accepting tomorrow.
Some of Miyamoto’s first moments prior to tomorrow’s event were captured on film. The video above is more amusing that you would think. Miyamoto dances around to some music a bit, takes part in a few photo ops, and signs some autographs.
Thanks to Jose for the tip.
