Link, Fox, chill out. Nobody wants to see Nintendo characters fight each other. I mean, can you imagine such a video game being made? That'd be a Smash.

The beginning of NP's annual April Fools articles.

More later.

It's amazing how much of these N64-era issues I can still recall getting from the library.

March 98 huh? Almost out of the dark era of the n64. 96 to late 98 was rough. Nintendo power basically had to cover turok for a year straight.

Have we finally gotten away from the gross-out ads?

>that very soulful Bomberman 64 fanart
Nice, that's going in the collection

>>8748149

This is the most this magazine has ever said about FFVII! Only readers are allowed to praise PlayStation games, I guess.

>>8748231
Yeah, that kind of thing is just a joke. Look at >>8748815 the April Fool's gag. Can you even imagine it? Some massive crossover game where basically every Nintendo character ever was in it? It's just funny.

>>8748146
>I should be able to play any level and be any character I want, regardless of how "far" I've gotten

Was this the guy's first ever video game? It sounds like the retarded shit you'd read on /v/ now.

>Coming next issue... POKEMON
Thank fucking god, I can't take any more of these sports games.

>>8748897
To think there was once a period of time where Pokemon did not exist in the public consciousness. That period is about to come to an end.

>>8748897
You better have the Pokemon Power supplements downloaded for posting too, OP, or you're out of the family.

>>8748267
>Without a doubt, it will set the standard for 3-D epics.

It's over for the Final Fantasy series. Say goodbye to your little SquareSoft and never look back, because Quest 64 is objectively at least 64/7 the game that FFVII is.

>You'll also find a ship in Quest 64, and not one of those tiny tubs that were no larger than your character as in the Dragon Warrior series.

Shots fired at Enix too! The roleplaying juggernaut that is the N64 will never be stopped. A holy magic century begins now!!!

>>8748369

This is the first promotional material of any kind that I've ever seen for this game that didn't consist of a photo of that one lady.

>THQ has learned that patience pays off, and they aren't pushing Imagineer to finish Quest 64 before its time.
Kinda ironic, since that's exactly what happened. The US version was a better and the later Japanese version had improvements.

>>8752016
*The U.S. version was a beta

>>8751447
Damn, what did Enix do them? They're going full scorched Earth.

>>8752143
Enix was originally developing Dragon Quest 7 on the N64DD but they changed over to the PSX in 1997 which made their and Sony’s stock prices rise significantly and Nintendo of Japan entered a crisis situation. In Square leaving them for the PSX was a stab in the back then Enix leaving was a fucking axe in the skull. So there was a lot of resentment in the company for them at the time

>>8748451

I never found the Spice Girls all that annoying.

>>8748456
>The N64 has emerged as the premiere video game platform on the market today, due in large part to the strength of its games.

Not the best-selling one necessarily, nor even the best one necessarily. Just... premiere.

>>8748489

Somebody gave something a ten! It actually happens!

There was always that retard who felt his retarded opinion was so important everyone else had to hear it. Jason Krpan was one of those retards. Before the internet, they wrote into magazines to share their stupidity with the world. Now they post on the internet. You can go back to 80's mags and still see some moron making the written equivalent of a shitpost.

>Enix was originally developing Dragon Quest 7 on the N64DD but they changed over to the PSX
I didn't know that. Why did they switch? I assume either cartridge space limitations or maybe a policy mandating the game had to be 3D which they didn't want to do?

>>8753586
The DD wasn’t particularly that powerful to begin with and it kept being delayed, pushed back and having its hardware changed. I think I read somewhere once that it took ages for dev kits to be sent to companies and even then the hardware would get altered again a few months later. Plus there was still the issue of the hardware itself not being particularly powerful, it was expensive and hard to program on and the PSX allowed for multiple discs and actual redbook music. It was a purely logistical decision

>>8748539
I do not agree with Sara

>>8748582
finally a Deadly Towers sequel

>>8748539
That Zelda is 90s anime as fuck. Hope Collee T enjoyed Hyrule Warriors.

>>8748620
>Code Hunter Corner

This is an odd departure.

>>8755429
It's the April issue so they're being sillier.
