VC's Wave Race 64 now featuring Nintendo ads |
Ó
As this demonstrates that Nintendo can alter a game's data if they will it, it does pose some interesting speculation on future possibilities. For one, what's stopping the company from re-releasing an otherwise Japanese game into a English-translated port? Most tempting.
On a parting note, this author does find one thing strange: while it's understandable that Nintendo posted a DS ad to promote their portable, it seems pretty redundant for them to post a Wii ad as well. After all, by playing the game, it's already implied that the guy already has a Wii console.

I remember that they said that mario eruo vc games got facts about nintendo built in
The ads have better graphics than the VC N64 game. That funny.
What is next, Nintendo ads in Zelda or Metroid?
This means they CAN change vc games! This could potentially mean new content or secret areas in old school games!
Of course they can change old games, they never delete the source to something they make.
I think they placed those adds to cover the Kawasaki banners. The original game had Kawasaki and JetSki banners, as well as on the vehicles. Maybe Nintendo did/could not get the license again?
They've deleted some content from old games; like the secret passwords in Kid Icarus (land I can't even beat the first level anyway).
Sure it makes for some good advertising but this is just a case of losing the licensing for the original advertising in the background. If I remember correctly there were Kawasaki ads plastered on the sides on the old cartridge. It's not like Nintendo is just randomly placing ads in a 10 year old game. There is a reason guys.
