Nintendo moves some Switch production to Vietnam

July 9th, 2019, 17:37 Posted By: wraggster

Nintendo is moving some production of the Switch to Vietnam, to decrease its dependence on China for manufacturing.
The rumour that Nintendo was seeking other locations for Switch production surfaced last month, but the Japanese company would not offer official comment on the specifics of its plan.
Today, a Nintendo spokesperson confirmed to Reuters that the new location will be Vietnam, and the shift in its operations will happen this summer.
Nintendo also said that the move was motivated by the current tension between China and the United States, and the likelihood of higher tariffs on products shipped between the two countries.

Super Mario Maker 2: Critical Consensus

July 8th, 2019, 18:00 Posted By: wraggster

There is little in this industry that's more wholesome than a mainline Nintendo release during the Switch era. Almost universally, critics and consumers alike have loved everything from the Nintendo stable in recent years: Breath of the Wild, Mario Odyssey, Splatoon 2, Arms, Smash Bros. Ultimate, Mario Kart 8, and now Super Mario Maker 2.
Much like the tide -- or Ubisoft's annual Just Dance performance at E3 -- this sequel felt inevitable. Nintendo had a winning formula with the original Mario Maker, that was unfortunately punished by virtue of being on the WiiU. Time will tell if Mario Maker 2 can attain platform appropriate success in terms of sales, but last week saw it top the UK physical charts, and the verdict is in: Super Mario Maker 2 is good. Very good, in fact.
As Alex Donaldson wrote in his review for VG24/7, "it's everything that made Mario Maker great on Nintendo's previous hardware, but on a system that you actually want to play."
In true Nintendo fashion, it's a multi-faceted game with something for everyone. One of the hallmarks of a Nintendo title is accessibility matched with hidden depth, and Mario Maker 2 appears to deliver on that front, "mashing together the joy of 2D Mario and the frightening ingenuity of a huge community of players."

Shigeru Miyamoto: Games will still be fun without streaming

July 8th, 2019, 17:56 Posted By: wraggster

Leading Nintendo figures have agreed that cloud gaming is likely to have a big impact on the industry, but it sounds like the Mario maker is determined to keep doing its own thing.
During a Q&A with shareholders at the platform holder's AGM, veteran designer Shigeru Miyamoto discussed his views on streaming, virtual reality and online play.
"I think that cloud gaming will become more widespread in the future, but I have no doubt that there will continue to be games that are fun because they are running locally and not on the cloud," he said.
"We believe it is important to continue to use these diverse technical environments to make unique entertainment that could only have been made by Nintendo."
He noted that the number of people playing Nintendo games now -- even on other devices -- is growing, revealing that Super Mario Run has passed 300 million downloads.
"The fact that we've reached such a market means that opportunities for us are greatly expanding, so we would like to work on more and more unique projects."
He also assured that "we have not fallen behind with either VR or network services," pointing to the release of the Nintendo Labo VR kit earlier this year and assuring that the firm has been experimenting with this tech "from the very beginning."
"Because we don't publicise this until we release a product, it may look like we're falling behind," he admitted.
Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa said he doesn't expect all games to become cloud-based "any time soon" but acknowledges that "the technologies are definitely advancing."
"We see a future where cloud and streaming technologies will develop more and more as a means of delivering games to consumers," he said. "We must keep up with such changes in the environment.
"That being said, if these changes increase the worldwide gaming population, that will just give us more opportunities with our integrated hardware and software development approach to reach people worldwide with the unique entertainment that Nintendo can provide."
Senior executive officer Ko Shiota added the company is also investigating the possibilities afforded by 5G as the technology rolls out around the globe.
Subscriptions also came up, with Furukawa acknowledging this was a particularly hot topic at E3. He noted that subscription services are "becoming common in all sorts of industries, not just the games industry" and notes that Nintendo already offers one in the form of the NES games available to Switch Online subscribers (of which there are now more than 10 million).
"We believe that we need to further enrich these sorts of services in the future," he said. "Nintendo's policy is that we will consider whether each product we offer is suited to a subscription model as we expand our business in the future."
However, Furukawa would not comment on whether other past systems would be added to this service.
Elsewhere, the Nintendo president was asked whether we can expect to see Switch sales drop off given that they did for the Wii at this point in its lifecycle. He said the Switch's install base is actually accelerating and is confident the line-up seen at E3 -- including Luigi's Mansion, Pokémon, Animal Crossing and a sequel to Breath of the Wild -- "supports our expectation of further growth."
He also confirmed a new Nintendo store will be built in Tokyo's Shibuya Parco shopping centre that's due to open in November, and that details for the Switch's launch in China have still to be determined.

Bethesda: "We are bringing some people to Nintendo Switch"

July 8th, 2019, 17:48 Posted By: wraggster

There was an element of uncertainty about Bethesda's E3 2019. The company had already warned fans not to expect last year's big reveals: the sixth Elder Scrolls or new IP Starfield. So what did that leave exactly? Some new footage of the next Wolfenstein and Doom? Updates to Fallout 76? Surely there has to be more to justify a full blown E3 press conference?
Well, as it turned out Bethesda did have a few surprises. Namely, new horror IP GhostWire Tokyo from Tango Gameworks, and story-driven action game Deathloop from Arkane Studios. These two reveals mean that, coupled with Starfield, its upcoming release slate is looking decidedly different. That's three new IPs for a company that hasn't released one since The Evil Within in 2014. Is it a coincidence, or deliberate strategy?
"It's not really mandated in either direction," says Pete Hines, SVP of global marketing and communications. "It's about: What do you want to make and what does it line up with? We didn't go to ZOS [Zenimax Onine Studios] and say: 'You need to make a Commander Keen game, figure it out' [a mobile version of the classic IP was also announced at E3]. They said: 'Hey, nobody is doing anything with Commander Keen, we have an idea, can we do this? Here is what it would be.' It has to come from that direction as opposed to me mandating to Arkane that they have to do X or Y. They're like: 'This is what we want to do and we want to call it Deathloop.'"

higan v106r170

June 27th, 2019, 17:20 Posted By: wraggster

higan v106r170 is released. higan (formerly bsnes) is a Nintendo multi-system emulator that began development on 2004-10-14. It currently supports the following systems:
- Famicom
- Super Famicom
- Game Boy
- Game Boy Color
- Game Boy Advance

higan also supports the following subsystems:
- Super Game Boy
- BS-X Satellaview
- Sufami Turbo

higan Changelog：
* Update to v106r170 release.

byuu says:

I finally pass blargg's dmg-sound and cgb-sound tests, but at quite a cost.
Reads and writes can't happen on an exact T-cycle (clock cycle) point within an
M-cycle (opcode cycle) for the DMG. Writes to trigger take effect two clocks
after writes to wave RAM, for instance. Probably going to be a lot more of this
in low-level PPU emulation, so I'm biting the bullet and slowly converting the
Game Boy bus handler to this new format, which I'll use as a test bench for
doing this later to other systems with, since Game Boy performance isn't as
critical (it's a drop from 220fps to 200fps to have to poll the bus four times
per memory access and synchronize the CPU four times as often, so a lot less bad
than I'd feared at least.)

Nintendo has updated the Wii U firmware to 5.5.4

June 26th, 2019, 21:51 Posted By: wraggster

• You thought it was dead, but the Nintendo Wii U lives on. Following an update that initially was just for European regions, the update is also supposedly to be made available in North American and Japan, according to patch notes. However, currently, Nintendo of America's site does not note any new firmware revisions, nor do we know if the update will actually come to non-EU systems. At this point, we have no idea what 5.5.4 changes, besides standard stability. The last time we saw an update for the Wii U was all the way back in September 2018, for version 5.5.3 which was yet another stability update. If you still value using your Wii U, you might want to wait on updating, to see what this changes in terms of homebrew.
  

  • Version number: 5.5.4
  • Release date: June 24th 2019 (North America) / June 25th 2019 (Europe, Japan)
  • Regions: Europe / North America / Japan
  • Further improvements to overall system stability and other minor adjustments have been made to enhance the user experience

Caffeine updated to support FW 4.1.0, works on patched Switches

June 26th, 2019, 21:49 Posted By: wraggster

• The wait is over! Caffeine, a Deja Vu-based warmboot exploit for the Nintendo Switch which allows users to launch any RCM payload, has been updated to support firmware 4.1.0. While this is already good per se, things become significantly more interesting if you consider that the exploit is also able to work on patched consoles, thus marking the first time said units are able to boot into full CFW! PegaScape has also been updated to include this new version of Caffeine, giving users an easy way to take advantage of it on their consoles.
  
  
  
  

  • However, if you want to try this yourself, be very wary when using homebrew able to make permanent modifications to your system's NAND. What works or is easily fixable on a fusèe-gelèe compatible Switch can make a patched unit permanently bricked. Do not enable AutoRCM under any circumstance on a patched console, you will brick if you do so. On the other hand, it is highly recommended to make a NAND backup as soon as possible and dump your keys using Lockpick_RCM. You can also set up emuMMC to run games and homebrew using any higher firmware you like while leaving sysNAND on 4.1.0 to boot Caffeine.
    
    Quoted from From PegaScape:

    Up to now, almost all homebrew for the Switch have been developed with the concept in mind that everyone has access to RCM. As such, most homebrew and especially RCM payloads have zero protection for users on IPATCHED units.
    
    Understand that this means it is incredibly easy to do something which, while considered normal on consoles with an exploitable RCM, can render IPATCHED Switches permanently inoperable. For your safety, you should avoid using the following homebrews on IPATCHED systems:
    
    

    • memloader
    • ChoiDujour
    • ChoiDujourNX (safe on emuMMC, do not use on sysnand)
    • Anything involving AutoRCM (briccmii, SX OS payload, etc)
      • Many homebrews have been updated to block enabling AutoRCM on IPATCHED units including Hekate and ChoiDujourNX. Still exercise very high caution.
    • Anything which writes to sysNAND without proper security or verification in place

    Upon using PegaScape to reboot into a payload on an IPATCHED Switch, you should immediately create a NAND backup with Hekate and dump all of your keys (especially BIS keys) with Lockpick_RCM. Understand that by not dumping these, there is no recovery method for your Switch should anything cause it to fail to boot.
    
    You should strongly consider using an emuMMC for all CFW usage to avoid any damage to your Switch.
    
    That said, celebrate! We can now run CFW on IPATCHED Switches!
    Click to expand...
    

    While there is no detailed guide on how to set up the exploit yet, user-friendly tutorials are said to be on their way for anyone interested.
    
    EDIT: PegaScape has now been released publicly, see the second Source link for more info.

Super 64 adapter, which allows for "zero-lag" N64 output in HDMI

June 26th, 2019, 21:47 Posted By: wraggster

• The EON Super 64, the first-of-its-kind, plug-and-play solution connecting the Nintendo 64 with modern television and monitors, launches July 22, 2019.
  
  Developed by EON, the creators of the acclaimed GCHD and GCHD Mk-II, the Super 64 fits seamlessly into original hardware and upscales beloved retro classics on modern displays without risky modifications. EON introduces the world’s first Nintendo 64 HDMI adapter that operates without an external power source and yields truly lagless input. The Super 64’s gorgeous upscaled 480p boasts twice the resolution of the original console’s video output. Seriously.
  
  “Slick Mode” enables retro fans to relive the triumphs of yesteryear with even smoother visuals, rounding out jagged edges for a sharper image that makes classics look better than ever. Through EON’s careful attention to detail, the Super 64 boasts the truest representation of color to create the most faithful N64 experience supplanting efforts of typical cable upgrades.
  
  The beloved N64 sold over 32.9 million units since its 1996 debut. The Super 64 builds a bridge of nostalgic perfection between the N64's analog output and high-definition displays. Nostalgic gamers and competitive players can enjoy their favorite N64 titles on modern setups via HDMI, foregoing the need for heavy CRT televisions or risky console modifications.
  
  EON's patent pending design is carefully crafted to prevent stress on older hardware and allows the N64 to slot neatly alongside modern platforms.
  
  Delivering an upscaled experience that still champions the original look and feel guided EON's development process, evident in the Super 64's form-fitting elegance, brilliant display of colors, and remarkable audio fidelity.
  
  "The Super 64 was designed to celebrate the console that pioneered 3D gaming. We set out to create something that respects the original hardware while delivering the original look and feel," said Justin Chou, Justin Scerbo, and Allan Chou, founders of EON. "The Super 64 is for everyone seeking to relive those classic experiences, and for a new generation for whom so many memories have yet to be made."

Final Fantasy III English Translation for NES, now 512kb!

June 26th, 2019, 21:36 Posted By: wraggster

Final Fantasy III is a game for the Famicom/NES that never saw release outside of Japan in it’s original form. In 2006, Square Enix remade the game for the Nintendo DS, which was the first time players worldwide were able to experience some form of this game.
This specific translation is actually a ‘do-over’ from a previous attempt in 2016.
Although previous fan-translations of this game exist, they were made before Square’s DS remake. As such, in 2016 Chaos Rush wanted to make a new translation-hack of the original Final Fantasy III for Famicom/NES that aimed to port the script used in the DS remake (when applicable, because the remake alters certain story elements) while retranslating from scratch any parts that were altered in the remake, with the end goal being an English-language version of the original Final Fantasy III with the canon names for characters, spells, items and such. While this initial project was completed, it had its issues: In order to fit the script, Chaos Rush expanded the ROM to 1mb while using a patch that converted the game to use the MMC5 mapper, thinking that there wouldn’t be any issues that stem from it by doing so. Several users pointed out that the RAM configuration used in Final Fantasy III would not have been compatible with the MMC5 mapper to begin with. In addition to that, there were several bugs and crashes that stemmed from the MMC5 mapper conversion, and certain emulators did not support the hack at all. Several users requested that the project be redone in order to keep the 512kb ROM size of the original game and look into ways to compress the script, so that users can finally have a hardware-compatible version of the original Final Fantasy III in English that uses the canon terminology.
With that said, in 2019 Chaos Rush produced a new version of the translation that keeps the game’s original ROM size and mapper configuration. In order to fit the script into the game’s limited space for text, the script had to be redone from the 2016 version, thus a new script was produced that words things as minimally as possible while implementing DTE compression into the game in order to fit as much text as possible within the original ROM size. The new script was produced by comparing the Japanese text from the original Famicom version with the English text from the 2016 translation (which about 75% of was a script port of the DS version), and then coming up with a new line that words things as minimally as possible while getting across the main points expressed in the Japanese script while keeping the “spirit” of the DS script. Thus, it is more or less an abridged version of the script from the 2016 version, but the Japanese text was looked at in both cases. The compressed script takes up 99.97% of the space used by the Japanese version of the game for the text.
Whether you want to call this a translation or an “abridged script port”, either way the end result is an English-language version of Final Fantasy III for the NES that uses the terminology from Square Enix’s remake on the Nintendo DS (and subsequent ports), with a script that provides a similar atmosphere to the remake while also staying true to the original text, all while keeping the same ROM size and mapper configuration as the original game.

Super Robot Wars 3: Brought Up to Spec

June 26th, 2019, 21:34 Posted By: wraggster

It’s been six months to the day since AGTP released the translation patch for Super Robot Wars EX; today, a patch releases for Super Robot Wars 3 that brings it up to the standard set by EX. This is a dramatic improvement over the patch released at the end of 2002 in nearly every sense, technically, linguistically, and aesthetically. The bad names have been fixed, the translation has been doublechecked, and the game has been completely re-hacked from the ground up using the code written for SRW EX.
The new release is complete and should be issue-free; enjoy!
