The head of the American division of Nintendo, Reggie Fils-Aimé, in a conversation with Kotaku noted that the release of a miniature version of the Nintendo 64 console is not included in the company’s plans. There have been hints online that Nintendo will release a «classic» version of the Nintendo 64 in the foreseeable future, but it seems that the rumors are not destined to come true.
«The development of the two ‘Classic’ consoles [Nes Classic and SNES Classic] was a temporary opportunity for us that acted as a sort of bridge between the end of the Wii U life cycle and the launch of the Nintendo Switch,» Fis-Aime noted, adding that «on the planned horizon » Nintendo 64 Classic is not visible.

What has been changed and how.
Norse mythology in God of War: Ragnarok
The reboot of the God of War franchise is based on Norse mythology. The developers took something straight from the poems of Samund the Wise and Snorri Sturluson — Elder and Younger Edd. But they came up with a lot of their own, making the mythology of the northern peoples even richer. In this article, we will figure out what events took place in the canonical verses and what Santa-Monica changed in God of War.
Consoles are bought for these games. Alternative opinion about God of War: Ragnarok
How Sony Santa-Monica managed to make a game so similar but different from the 2018 reboot is a mystery. It seems that the skeleton of the project remained the same, but the muscles pumped up. And not only those that are responsible for strength, but also for mental activity. Every thread of the story is tied into the mythology and universe of God of War, every game element is in the right place, and the graphics and music put the player on the shoulder blades in every scene — this is how modern single-player games should be.
Yearning. God of War Ragnarok review
Ironically, there is no God of War in the game called God of War at all. In places, Ragnarok resembles some kind of talk show in which people with a troubled past talk about how they were beaten by their parents and disliked by their peers in childhood, because of which they grew up angry
The waifu factor. Review of the mobile shooter Goddess of Victory: Nikke
A new mobile thriller from Korean developers quickly won a million audience. In just one week, the project was installed on smartphones 10 million times, and the ratings of the game in mobile marketplaces are surprising in a good way. Do not rush to attribute this success to beautiful waifu, that is, anime girls. The game catches with well-tuned gameplay, albeit exciting only for a short time.
Fairy capitalism.

The Nintendo company has registered several new trademarks, one of which is dedicated to the controller of the Nintendo 64 console released 20 years ago . Journalists immediately made the assumption that this was the «first sign» in the chain of preparing the Nintendo 64 Mini retro console for launch in 2018. Prior to the announcement of the SNES Mini , Nintendo applied to trademark the SNES controller. Officially, the platform holder does not comment on the situation.
The Nintendo 64 ranked second behind the original PlayStation in the fifth generation, managing to perform best in the US in particular. A number of major hits were released on the console, and Nintendo flagships, led by Super Mario 64 (the first 3D game with analog controls) and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time , which were significantly transferred to the three-dimensional dimension, influenced the development of the entire industry. Before market launch Halo in the early 2000s, journalists called Golden Eye 007 from Rare an exemplary console shooter game that boasts scores of 96/100 on Metacritic and sales of over 8 million .
