The enormous exodus of 3rd parties from Nintendo is probably the most humiliating single thing ever.

Now it's just the end of a slow slide until the Switch is available from Verizon. Sega games are already on Steam.

>40 Winks is a platform game developed by Eurocom and published by GT Interactive as for the PlayStation. A version was developed for the Nintendo 64, and reviewed in both Nintendo Official Magazine UK and Nintendo Power[1] (whose January 2000 issue even got a strategy guide for the game[2]), but was cancelled at the last minute.
That's the best unintentional troll job I've ever seen.

The Switch is something I completely expected them to do. Nintendo isn't going to go bust but they will focus on being the mobile gaming platform, an area where their competitors still struggle and they have long dominated. If the Switch does prove to be successful then they'll release a follow up to it that actually competes directly against phones. If it's not successful then they'll become a mobile gaming software house that produces content for Android and iPhone.

Marketing is literally a blight upon humanity and one of the major factors as to why modern games are shit.

The whole principle behind marketing is to sell shit but make the buyer believe they're buying gold, there's literally not a single redeeming thing about marketing.

They came out a fucking year apart, nobody could think that. The Mario 64 connection is the concept being 'stolen', not any actual code. The story dates back much further than Larry's video to an old interview with one of the Argonaut guys claiming he pitched a 3D Yoshi Platformer which Nintendo then passed on and they turned into Croc. I don't buy it myself but it's not completely unbelievable with the 3D Super-FX games being their work.
