Downloadable Mario Games

Games developer moves to downloadable titles

New Zealand's largest games developer, Wellington firm Sidhe, will stop developing console games sold on shop shelves and bet the house on downloadable or online titles that are largely free.

The firm, which employs more than 100 staff, has developed titles for major United States publishers, including games based around the Madagascar film franchise.

But Sidhe managing director Mario Wynands told attendees at the User Experience conference in Wellington that its Rugby Challenge game for PlayStation 3, XBox 360 and PC, due for release about the time of the Rugby World Cup, could be its last traditional retail title.

The console games industry was undergoing rapid change, he said, and faced a challenge from cheaper, digitally distributed games, that can be supported with advertising and offer enhanced, monetised features and services.

Sidhe met with mixed reviews for its contract work, but its home-grown downloadable brick-breaking game Shatter was well received by critics and consumers.

Its FlickKick Football game, developed by mobile gaming arm PikPok, has been purchased and downloaded more than a million times, he said.

From next year, nearly all its games would be free or very low cost, but would allow people to purchase items or services within them, he said. `We're not a production line any more. We're a service provider.

Hidden Music - Mario Kart 64 Video

Hidden loop of music in Mario Kart 64! To play the music in game, you've got to wait 50 minutes (approx.) on the results screen after a race. Crazy, huh? That's what I told my brother when he told me about this! (Credit for finding the tune goes to him) ******** EDIT 2: ******** (early edit is below) Alright, now I'm pretty sure this was stuck in there on purpose. It plays after exactly 64 loops of the "normal" tune. That is just too darned significant to be coincidental, don't you think? That Nintendo! They're just so canny, aren't they? ****** EDIT: ******* Hey, notice a lot of people coming on in, "NintendoEverything"? Cool~ I like little doodads like this as much as the next guy, but I got to thinking it's probably a coding error of some sort. Take a listen to how it goes: in this video I play the regular loop once, it lasts around 50 seconds, the hidden loop seems to last a lot longer, but it's really just repeating itself twice - at about 50 seconds each. That may be neat and all, but so what, right? Well, consider the official CD release which for this piece plays the normal loop (A) twice, and the then the hidden loop (B), twice. So, in-game, it likely was supposed to be a "AABBAABB..." affair and for whatever reason, the second loop got messed up and only did it's "BB" bit about 50 minutes down the line. Still, just conjecture and open to speculation, but I think it's a little too complex and fits in perfectly as a complement to the regular loop making it great ...
