Kirby 64™: The Crystal Shards: (Nintendo 64®, 1-4 players, Rated E for Everyone, 1,000 Wii Points): Kirby's first 3-D adventure is also his Nintendo 64 debut, and it finds the always-versatile hero battling a new enemy called Dark Matter. Dark Matter is after a distant land's powerful crystal, but a young fairy named Ribbon attempts to save it by escaping with the gem to Dream Land.

I updated the Games and Hardware sections with some new features. Most important change first; you now have the choice to stream videos thanks to the Adobe Flash Video format (requires Macromedia Flash), or download them in better quality. I also updated the Games listings with a new look and some more search options Don Camorra suggested, like showing games by release date or region. You'll also note that subsections for a game or hardware item, which don't contain anything yet, will be greyed out, thanks to an indexing script I wrote for that purpose.

Ok, just a small note to let everybody know that I did a major update to the rom release list. I've basically copy/pasted about 600 nfo files to the rom database, so I hope this will be useful to someone.

But above all, we would like to thanks cliffi for sending us all the nfo files. Thanks mate !

Meanwhile, Don Camorra is currently adding box and cart scans and I'll be doing the same as well as minor additions/corrections to the global database.

So... after the server disaster, the site is becoming alive again. Koteshi, Peak_XV and Don Camorra have joined the team and we are busy adding a lot of new stuff right now.

For now, here's an older bit of N64 homebrew news from December I did not have the time to post until now. Marshallh has released a new homebrew puzzle game called Funnelcube, including source for all interested coders! Download and more info at Dextrose.

A bit old news for some of our readers, but it's worth it : 1080° Snowboarding has been released on the Japanese Virtual Console on January 15th and on the European and Australian one on January 18th. It is the 11th Nintendo 64 game to appear on this service so far. A North American release is planned for January 28th.

Here we are again. After the death of our former host Emedian we have found a new place at Aheado, sadly there was no way to retrieve the latest data from Emedian, so I had to take my last backup, which sadly was from July, so a lot of stuff is lost. If you saved anything, I'd appreciate any help to recover any lost content.

Wave Race 64 is a racing game for the Nintendo 64 that was released on September 27, 1996 in Japan and on November 5, 1996 in North America. It is a sequel of the Game Boy game Wave Race (hence the "64"). In Wave Race 64 the player races on jet skis in many different weather conditions, on a variety of different courses. The game was sponsored by the Kawasaki Heavy Industries brand. The game is now avaible on the Japanese Wii Virtual Console!

A new version of the Super Mario 64 Level Editor has been released, fixing some bugs and adding new features like adjustment of Mario's size. More information and downloads here.

Can a seven year old game hold up today? If it's Paper Mario, sure it can! Half a month ago, Mario's RPG installment for the N64 was re-released by the Virtual Console for 1000 Wii Points. Of course, as it costs money, gaming magazines are onligated to review them if they give the bang for their buck. After all, some Virtual Console games are expensive, and the ones with the highest price point are N64 games.
