Nintendo have done the unimaginable (mainly because we can’t believe it was still going on) and dropped support of the NES. After 24 years of service the little trooper is being laid to rest. This means that you’ll have to take extra good care of little Nessy now, as the big N won’t be helping you out when too much spittle gets blown into the cartridge port. On the upside, those with mint condition consoles just started getting a little bit richer. Nintendo have also let it be known that the SNES, Nintendo 64, Gameboy and Gameboy Pocket aren’t far from “going to live at a farm” either.
In no way do we condone drugs of any kind on this site, but there is no doubt that pot is responsible for many great acts of creativity. Such as making a bong out of your N64 controller and triumphantly smoking it on your rooftop.
The Australian Office of Film and Literature (OFLC) have updated their classification database with some great news for Wii owners in Australia - Sin & Punishment: Successor to the Earth has been given an M rating, which can only mean one thing - it’s coming to the Virtual Console in Australia.
One can assume the game will cost the standard Nintendo 64 price of 1000 Wii Points, however there’s no such assumptions to be made with the release date. This would be a pretty neat consolation prize for Australian Wii owners to sink their teeth into while gamers in the US play Metroid Prime 3 and Super Smash Bros.
Correctional officers in the US don’t mind inmates spending free time playing PS2s, but there’s no love for the Nintendo 64, whose rumble pack is being put to good use in makeshift tattoo guns.
