In November of 2012, Nintendo pulled the Donkey Kong Country trilogy from the Wii's Virtual Console. They gave no explanation, as is the Nintendo Way. And today, nearly two and a half years later, Nintendo announced that all three games are coming back, this time for the Wii U.
We still don't know why the set of classic platformers went MIA for so long. Some have theorised that the disappearance involves a dispute with Rare, the studio that developed all three SNES Donkey Kong Country games, which is now owned by Microsoft. They're wonderful games, though, so it's nice to see them back and playable on a modern system.
(Also released today: all three Donkey Kong Land games on the 3DS eShop.)

Nintendo boss Satoru Iwata has said that one big hit could still be enough to cause Wii U sales to rocket.
“Following the generally accepted theory on platform lifecycles, it is natural for you to presume that the sales of Nintendo 3DS will drop X per cent each year or we cannot expect a huge increase in Wii U sales,” he told investors in a now translated Q&A. “On another front, we have witnessed one single software title completely change the entire picture of our business many times.”
Iwata cited the example of the Game Boy, whose sales spiked well into its life cycle following the debut of Pokemon.
The Nintendo president also returned to the ever-looming prospect of Nintendo games on smartphones.
“We recognise that we need to make changes in various areas, and consider how we can take advantage of smart devices and more actively use our character IP,” he explained. “Please do not take it the wrong way. It does not mean that we are going to proactively utilise smart devices and character IP because we are not making enough profits from our dedicated video game platforms.
“We are willing to do so for that will create a synergy effect to expand our dedicated video game platform business. Of course, we will probably make profits from our character IP business, and Amiibo is already having a positive impact in its initial phase of business. Still, it is obvious that we cannot easily achieve the same sales and profit level only with Amiibo as the peak times for our dedicated video game platform business. Therefore, we should consider how we can boost our core business, that is the dedicated video game platform and software business.”

Nintendo has hailed the launch of its New 3DS and the success of two of its games.
The New 3DS and New 3DS XL arrived last week alongside a remake of The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask and Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate. The former was the best-selling single platform title this week, while Monster Hunter 4 is the fastest-selling game in the series.
And the launch of New 3DS caused the hardware market to rise 57 per cent week-on-week.
“We’re really pleased with how Majora’s Mask 3D and Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate have performed,” said Nintendo UK’s director of marketing Shelly Pearce.
“Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate has significantly outperformed its predecessor and The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D has debuted at the top spot in the individual format chart.
“We’ve also seen a strong start for the New 3DS and we’re looking forward to building this momentum.”

Nintendo says it could have sold more New 3DS XL units in the US were it not for an ongoing labour dispute that is disrupting West Coast shipping.
“The first [New 3DS] shipments to Europe and the United States sold most stock that made it to shelves in the first two (Europe) or three (United States) days,” Satoru Iwata told investors, as translated by Destructoid.
“We believe that sales could have been even better in the United States. For the last six months, labour negotiations on the West Coast of the United States have made getting goods to shore slow, as the amount of berths open are lower than usual and therefore the harbours are congested. Many of the heavier goods sent to the US have still not arrived to their destinations.
“However, this has had little effect on total Amiibo and software sales as they are light enough that we can ship by air if we have to. The companies being affected by this the most are appliance manufacturers that don't have any other option then to ship by sea. Even though the New Nintendo 3DS has had the handicap against its supply, the public has still shown huge interest in it and sales are phenomenal.”
Nintendo last week revealed that it sold 335k units of the New 3DS and New 3DS XL in Europe and America in its first weekend on sale earlier this month.

Nintendo of America’s senior marketing and licensing manager Damon Baker has explained the decision not to release the standard New 3DS in the region.
The New 3DS and New 3DS XL both arrived last week in the UK but only the larger model was released in the US.
“Look, the face plates are super cool, but we're a different market,” he told NintendoLife. “And now we have clear differentiation between those three systems. Before, there was a very limited difference between the 3DS and 3DS XL: other than size. It was the same resolution, same functionality...
“Now, there's the 2DS, 3DS, and New 3DS XL, all of which have their own functionality and features. The different price points give it a clear message for consumers. The core audience... we weren't going to win with them on that decision. But we had to think about expanding the user base, we had to be able to market it and make it easy to pick up for consumers.”
It’s easy to see where Baker is coming from. UK buyers heading into a store today to buy a Nintendo handheld have a dizzying array of option to choose from – the 3DS, 3DS XL, New 3DS and New 3DS XL. And of course the 2DS. Which plays 3DS games. And DS games. But not in 3D. S.
His comments loosely echo those made by the company last month when it said: “Different territories make their own business decisions regarding individual products and timing. We think New Nintendo 3DS XL makes the most sense for our market. Nintendo makes different systems at different price points for a whole range of consumers, and New Nintendo 3DS XL simply expands those choices even further.”

Zelda on Wii U will be as large a game as the console hardware will allow.
Speaking to Gamereactor, producer Eiji Aonuma said that the power of Nintendo’s current home console relative to its predecessors has afforded it a new level of development scope.
"A huge, seamlessly unfolding world is something that can't be achieved if the hardware isn't advanced enough," he said. "Ever since we made the very first generation of Legend of Zelda games though, we've had as large a world as can be realised with the hardware, so you could say it was inevitable that we've now done the same with the new Wii U title.
"What's changed now is that the hardware has progressed to the point that you can now explore this vast world seamlessly; the underpinning of the game hasn't changed."
Aonuma has also questioned the use of the term “open-world” in relation to the game. Not because the game isn’t open-world, but because he thinks every Zelda title ever has been open-world, albeit in a technically limited fashion.
"When I first showed off the new Zelda game on the Wii U, it seemed everyone was very excited and started proclaiming that a Zelda game had at last become open world,” he added. “Zelda games have always allowed you to roam and explore a huge world.”
Last summer lead Nintendo designer Shigeru Miyamoto also expressed discomfort at the use of the term.
“I prefer not to use the generally used term ‘open world’ when developing software,” he explained. “This term means that there is a large world in which players can do numerous things daily.
“In the traditional Legend of Zelda series, the player would play one dungeon at a time. For example, if there are eight dungeons, at the fourth dungeon, some players may think, ‘I’m already halfway through the game,’ while other players may think, ‘I still have half of the game to play.’
“We are trying to gradually break down such mechanism and develop a game style in which you can enjoy The Legend of Zelda” freely in a vast world, whenever you find the time to do so.”

Project64 Git (2015/02/17) is compiled. Project 64 is a proprietary Nintendo 64 emulator for Windows. It employs a plug-in system that allows third-party software developers to create their own implementation of a specified component. Project64 allows the user to play Nintendo 64 games on a computer by reading ROM images, either dumped from the read-only memory of a Nintendo 64 cartridge or created directly on the computer as homebrew. Project64 started as an exercise by Jabo and zilmar in an attempt to see if they were capable of programming a Nintendo 64 emulator. It's open source now.

Nintendo has revealed that 335k units of the new 3DS and New 3DS XL were sold in the West in the week of release.
The console launched in both Europe and America last week. Of that number, 175k were sold in the US and 160k in Europe. Launch sales of the New 3DS XL are apparently double that of the older 3DS XL.
There were decent sales for the two big game launches accompanying the new hardware, too. The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D sold 570k units, with 340k selling in the US and 230k in Europe. Capcom’s Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate, meanwhile, sold 110k in Europe, more than doubling the sales of the series’ previous entry.
Super Smash Bros on 3DS, meanwhile, has now sold 6.19m units. That compares to 3.39m sales of the Wii U version, which was released after the handheld SKU.
Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire have sold 9.35m. Tomodachi Life has sold a total of 3.96m.
Overall 3DS hardware sales across all versions have now hit 50.41m units worldwide, although Nintendo has admitted that the machine has failed to meet sales expectations over the last financial year.

Nintendo said its now shipped over 5.7 million of its NFC-connected Amiibo figures, and more interestingly, it's showed which ones do the best around the world. There's indeed some variation, but Link, bless him, is the best-selling Amiibo globally, claiming first place across Japan, the US and Europe. Mario, however, prevents the the Zelda protagonist from getting a grand slam, claiming top spot in Australia. (Mario gets second place in the US, followed by Pikachu.) During the investor-only meeting, Nintendo added that it plans to use Amiibo to unlock vignettes of older games, as well as launch NFC-compatible cards to complement its figure series. We've translated the US' Top Ten right after the break. People like Donkey Kong! Who knew!

It goes without saying that Super Mario World is unrealistic, but have you wondered just how outlandish it is? PBS has. The broadcaster's Space Time show recently went out of its way to of the game's planet based on Mario's jumps, and it turns out to be nearly eight times that of Earth. That's a figure that you don't even find on gas giants like Jupiter, and it's only feasible on stars. Moreover, Nintendo's plumber would need both superhuman strength to jump as high as he does as well as non-human blood -- the liquid would be so heavy that a heart couldn't pump it properly. Mario doesn't so much have his own world as his own universe, since there's no way that he or his environment could exist based on our understanding of physics.

Sorry, European gamers: the Wii U's TVii service won't reach your corner of the globe. Nintendo has dropped plans to bring the personalized streaming media guide to the region due to the "extremely complex" task of accommodating multiple services in numerous countries across the continent. The Euro crowd isn't coming awaycompletely empty-handed, though. Nintendo is launching the Anime Channel, a 3DS-specific video service that lets you view Japanese animation (what else?) for free. The focus right now is unsurprisingly on Nintendo-related shows like Kirby and Pokemon, but more content is on the way -- you just need to grab an app from the eShop to start watching.

Snes9x Git (2015/02/02) is compiled. Snes9x is a portable, freeware Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) emulator. It basically allows you to play most games designed for the SNES and Super Famicom Nintendo game systems on your PC or Workstation; which includes some real gems that were only ever released in Japan. Snes9x is the result of well over three years worth of part-time hacking, coding, recoding, debugging, divorce, etc. (just kidding about the divorce bit). Snes9x is coded in C++, with three assembler CPU emulation cores on the i386 Linux and Windows ports.
Snes9x Git changelog:
* Win32: add missing Ptr changes (DaMan)
