Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

That was just emulation of (an official hack of) the N64 one. I don't count that any more than the Wii, Wii U, or Switch emulations of it. The 3DS one had actual new graphics.

It was a version made for the N64DD that got released for the GameCube instead. It's definitely more like DLC, given it had improved graphics and alternate dungeons, so it's more than just a re-release.

Yeah, but it wasn't even sold in stores - it was a bonus disk with Wind Waker pre-orders.

[–] Zoomboingding@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Actually this remake would be the perfect time to bundle that in

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago

They never would, because N64 NSO exists. Kinda surprised they haven't tossed it on there, though.

Interesting - did not know that

[–] jacksilver@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Yeah, I was surprised too. It's a weird concept from the get-go, but I guess the idea was to release an "extended" edition to promote new hardware.

I guess it's most similar to what they did with pokemon games. Blue/Red leading to Yellow or Gold/Silver leading to Crystal.
