Thursday is upon us, and with is a mysterious air. Here’s the news.
- Miitomo is Shutting Down
- Modder Recreates Zelda: Ocarina of Time in Super Mario 64
- Monster Hunter: World Releases Tonight
The Fall of Miitomo
Nintendo has announced that their first mobile app, Miitomo, will be closing on May 9, 2018. The social network app was a creative way to combine Miis into a social format. Unfortunately, it was too much a game, and not enough a social network. The inability to send messages, post statuses, etc caused interest in the game to drop harshly. Players will not be able to purchase any in-game currency starting today, though they can still get coins and such by playing.
Rest in Peace, Miitomo. You were almost good.
Super Zelda 64
Popular SM64 Modder Kaze Emanuar, best known for creating Super Mario 64 Online, is recreating The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time in Super Mario 64. This project is more than just dropping Mario in a perfect likeness of the Zelda map. The game has been modified to be a blend between the Zelda world and story, and the Mario mechanics. The project isn’t completed yet, but the creator is posting updates via their social media. Check out a video detailing this mod here. It has a nice commentary, too.
Monster Hunter: World Release
Oh yea boys its Monster Hunter time! Or it will be in a few hours, that is. The long-awaited title is due to release tonight at midnight. Some people who preordered the game in-store have been receiving the copy early. Alas, I purchased it digitally, so I have to wait until midnight. Good luck with your carves, hunters!
