Nintendo Classics Get VR Treatment with Dolphin VR

VRFocus - Many virtual reality (VR) fans dreams of what beloved videogame company Nintendo could achieve if it turned its attention towards the technology. The company has no shortage of franchises that could make enticing VR experiences and the ideas and innovation to create thrilling new IP. While it doesn’t appear as if the Mario makers will be getting involved with VR any time soon, fans can now at least sample some of their past works with an Oculus Rift VR head-mounted display (HMD).

Nintendo, the once revered gaming company now out-innovated and out-graphics'ed by any neck beard with a highschool diploma/GED. Sad times we live in to be Nintendo enthusiasts and gamers in general.

I see it as the best time to be a Nintendo enthusiast since Wii U has the highest rated games and some killer new IP's and exclusives coming out. Sony and MS are relying on remakes of year old games that I have already played. Sorry I'll go with originality any day.

that launch tho. some tastes just dont wash out of the mouth. sm3Dw's demo was only ok. mario kart 8 is a great start (but it wouldve done the system wayyy more favors if it was a launch game) dont give 2 craps about bayonetta tho personally, ninja gaiden did it better or any other 3rd party game.
remember the old days man when nintendo had hardcore 3D third party games like dark rift? shit gave me nightmares yo. they need all the 3rd parties to get hardcore too if theyre gonna shake the Wii image in my mind.

TardcoreGamer4295d ago

On the contrary. These are exciting times indeed. VR is allowing "nintendo enthusiasts" and gamers in general a chance to actually feel what its like to be IN those games for once.

starchild4295d ago

Well said. After experiencing VR in the first Oculus Rift dev kit I knew VR was going to a big part of gaming's future. Exciting times we're living in!

filchron4295d ago

i felt like nintendo were gonna be the ones crazy and cool enough to bring it into the mainstream tho :/ feels weird that they arent the ones leading the way this time.

U.S. patent examiner rejects Nintendo’s summoning characters patent as obvious: non-final ruling

The rejection is non-final (and even when such rejections are labeled as “final”, the process is far from over, given that there can be, at minimum, an appeal to the Federal Circuit).

Good, as they should! A game mechanic like that shouldn't be locked behind a patent, and Nintendo didn't invent it either.

PRIMORDUS64d ago (Edited 64d ago )

Nintendo wants to keep wasting money on bullshit lawsuits, real smart in this economy. They should put that money aside for other game projects. On the other hand, I don't care if they waste it all either, and they are screwed in the future maybe that will teach them a lesson.

Well dayum lol. Old agent orange pissing off every industry and nation.

0hMyGandhi89d ago

The fact that you have ANY disagrees will forever baffle me. And to the (apparent) MAGA contingent that exists on this website, enjoy your 8-9 dollar gas.

AuraAbjure88d ago (Edited 88d ago )

Yes, they had better be pissed after Trump told them the way they rip off the USA is over.

EveryPlatformGamer90d ago

LOL I read this on gaff, will they refund the money back to the gamers? highly unlikely. Didn't they just raise prices and pass it onto the gamers? Only Nintendo would send out the Ninjas to the US government.

-Foxtrot89d ago

That’s what I was thinking, imagine them winning hypothetically, getting a s**t load of money back which they would have lost if they hadn’t raised their prices and it’s business as normal.

It would just mean people paid more for no reason since they got the money back anyway.

Outside_ofthe_Box89d ago (Edited 89d ago )

A lot of companies partially passed the cost to consumers instead of all of it. They would still have to at least pay that back to gamers, but we know that won't happen. What's also sad is that prices won't come back down after the initial hike caused by tariffs.

People didn't understand the full repercussions of tariffs. That alone should have cost him the presidency if people knew it was a permanent price hike for consumers

Inverno89d ago

The people should sue these companies for having to over pay cause of these tariffs.

Eonjay89d ago

Naw they should sue the government for forcing the tax to begin with. No one reasonably expects these companies to absorb the taxes. Many smaller companies tried and were shut down or faced to increase prices to try to maintain their business. The tariffs effect everyone.

Inverno88d ago

I meant it mostly as a joke cause we all know the costs of these tariffs were passed onto the consumer. But it's seems no matter how vocal we are here in the states our "representatives" don't seem to care enough to represent us. And things are about to get worse.

Killer2020UK88d ago

The companies were doing what the law required then to do, the tariffs however were illegally implemented. Usually it's criminals we punish, you seem to have different ideas 🤷‍♂️
