SimCopter 64 playable build found more than 20 years after cancellation

Posted on 2 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments

SimCopter debuted in 1996 for PC, but some may be unaware that an N64 version (for the 64DD) was in the works at one point – aptly titled SimCopter 64. The game was even shown off for Nintendo’s older console at E3 1997, though it ultimately never saw the light of day. Fans apparently weren’t impressed with the graphics, and after some consideration was given to a Japan-only launch, the port was cancelled entirely.

It’s been well over twenty years, but amazingly enough, a playable build has been found of SimCopter 64. Reddit user a707northbayer made the discovery and says he picked it up from someone who worked in the game industry. This person sold and traded him dev systems in addition to a few games like this one.

Using her talent for fighting and exploring, CJ begins to chase not only treasure, but the sense of community in helping the town rebuild after a recent quake. Mending the town’s ties between the villagers and the newly-arrived adventurers, a story unfolds that introduces us to the Eiyuden Chronicle universe, which is set to feature a turn-based RPG, Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes from a legendary development team featuring Yoshitaka Murayama (Suikoden I, II) and Junko Kawano (Suikoden I, IV,) of Rabbit & Bear Studios. While this is not the main feature, they do have a lot of fans picking up this smaller companion game. So how does Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising reveal to us this new frontier of adventure?

How Nintendo’s success may affect the future of Switch

Posted on 2 years ago by Luiz in Switch, Videos | 0 comments

At this point, it is undeniable that the Switch is a massive success. Each time that Nintendo announces its financial results, we see software and hardware sales growing at an impressive rate. It’s interesting because the last console, Wii U, was probably one of Nintendo’s biggest failures and now I’m very interested to see how they will handle the second half of Switch’s life.

In today’s video, I speculate about what the future of the console could be like, including the possibility of future hardware revisions. Feel free to check it out below.
