The company’s success in a turbulent and unpredictable industry is in part due to its remarkable ability to tap into players’ memories in a way that feels intimate and personal. Nintendo has something its gaming competitors do not: a long history. It’s always in high demand, and the only supply chain issue is within our weakening neocortex. But nostalgia is a strange and powerful thing. You can buy cheaper controllers with modern features to use with old games. That same authenticity is why so many forked over the same fifty dollars to hold a Nintendo 64 controller or Sega Genesis controller in their hands again (or both). That’s what Nintendo is selling with these retro devices - memories made tangible at mass-market prices.
The design and manufacturing polish are spot-on and provide a spark of recognition to those who were around for the G&W’s heyday. The face of the device is coated in something that looks like brushed metal, with the “Game & Watch” logo embedded in its own silver tile. The screen and buttons are a Hyrulian green that makes every pushable or viewable surface pop. The first time I took it out of the package, I was surprised at how vibrant the unit itself looked. If I’m making fun of anyone, it’s myself and my ilk. And in our modern age of cynicism and myopic anger, I have not yet heard one complaint. For $49.99 (the same price as a year of Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack), you, too, can buy both a “Game” and a “Watch” that, let’s be honest, will likely return to its shelf after a ten-minute session on Day One.
He’s not alone in his enthusiasm for the darling pocket-sized toy all release day my Twitter feed was lined with people’s photos of the thing: on their desks, in their hands, turned around to show off the rear-side Triforce that glows. “If I’m making fun of anyone, it’s myself.” “ I love this thing,” tweeted out GamingBible’s Head of Content Mike Diver, sharing pictures of his new device that plays three games he undoubtedly already owns in several formats. And like it’s done many times, Nintendo successfully convinces millions of people to buy something they don’t need - and those fans are utterly delighted to do it. This year, it repeated the trick with Zelda, Link, and Ganondorf, selling a Game & Watch that plays the original Legend of Zelda, its sequel Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, and the Game Boy classic The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening. They will also not show the Legend of Zelda for Wii U at their E3 2015 presentation.In 2020, Nintendo blew the dust off the old molds and manufactured a special Super Mario Bros. This has also happened with the previous installment “Twilight princess”, where they delayed the gamecube release to release a more complete Version of the game on both the Nintendo Wii and Gamecube. However, more time in development must mean that the finished product will be much better. The bad news is that fans of the franchise will possibly no longer be able to play this highly anticipated in the current year. There are both bad and good news about this. They want to make Zelda U the best game it can possibly become, and therefore, they will spend more time on developing it. Yesterday Eiji Aounuma, the producer of the Legend of Zelda franchise, announced that getting a 2015 release for the game was no longer their highest priority.Īounuma told us that the development team had discovered more possibilities for the game, and some of these even exceeds Aounuma`s expectations. Zelda Wii U, one of the most anticipated upcoming Wii U games, has been delayed until next year.
