This September Nintendo will release the SNES Classic Edition to the general public. Last year they released the NES Classic Edition during the holiday season. Now rumors are running wild that after Nintendo filed a trademark with the European Union Intellectual Property Office for an updated three-pronged N64 controller, they could be making an N64 Classic Edition.
NeoGaf spotted the trademark filing on the EU IPO website, which shows a giant outline of an N64 controller on the website. Since it’s filed under the same goods and services category as the NES controller for the NES Classic Edition, the SNES controller for the SNES Classic Edition, and for the Joy-Con controllers for the Nintendo Switch, the assumption is that a Nintendo 64 Classic Edition could launch in 2018.
The N64 was easily one of Nintendo’s best game consoles next to the SNES. However, they would have to include a solid line-up of games for it to be appealing. The appeal of the SNES Classic Edition was being able to get one’s hands on some of Nintendo’s best offerings on the system for a small fee of just $80 (barring the inclusion of केंचुआ जिम और क्रोनो उत्प्रेरक, which is a cardinal sin as far as gaming is concerned). But most of the N64’s classic titles are no longer under Nintendo’s distribution banner or the publishers/developers who originally made them, such as Rare, THQ or Acclaim. So none of the N64’s wrestling games could make a return, nor games like गोल्डनई 64 or कोंकर का बुरा फर दिन or खूनी इंस्टींट गोल्ड.
So what would that leave an N64 Classic Edition with as far as a library of games go? Well, there’s stuff like गिरगिट ट्विस्ट और Zelda के लीजेंड: Ocarina समय के। जाहिर है सुपर मारियो 64 और मारियो 64. गधा काँग देश 64 might also make the cut, but you can forget about परफेक्ट डार्क 64, and they would have to jump through a few hoops to get Turok 64 back on the system.
They might be able to get Bethesda to play ball and allow भूकंप 64 और कयामत 64 to be re-released on the system. ड्यूक नुकेम 64 would be a toss-up depending on how Randy Pitchford feels about it, and they would have to go through a lot of corporate foreplay to get Warner Bros., to allow them to put games like क्रूसिन' यूएसए और San Franfisco Rush on the system, along with चरम-जी.
You can also forget about बैंजो-Kazooie or जेट फोर्स मिथुन unless they lick their lips and open wide for Microsoft. Alternatively you can expect a lot of okay games on the N64, including Diddy Kong Racing, Pokemon Studium, Mario Party, Star Fox 64 और सुपर लूट Bros. But I doubt anyone is going to pay $100 for Diddy Kong रेसिंग.
They would also have to grovel at the feet of the Mafia Mouse for Star Wars: Shadow of the Empire, Star Wars: Episode 1 Pod Racer और दुष्ट स्क्वाड्रन. Also that pod-racing game was one of the best racing games on the N64 and it would be a shame if it didn’t make the cut, assuming Nintendo is making a Classic Edition of the system. On the upside it might include घरेलू दुष्ट only because Capcom loves whoring out their games and I could definitely see them giving Nintnedo the thumbs up for that. But we’ll just have to wait and see if Nintendo actually pulls the trigger on an N64 Classic Edition.
