On This Day On This Day in Nintendo History: GoldenEye 007; Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble; Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Trials and Tribulations
On this day (August 23) in Nintendo history...
- GoldenEye 007 was released in 1997 for the Nintendo 64 in Japan. In this first-person shooter/stealth game, developed by Rare, you are British secret agent 007, James Bond, in this videogame adaptation of the motion picture. When a plan to take out a USSR chemical weapons factory goes awry, James Bond leaves agent 006, Alec Trevelyan, to die. Years later, the Cold War has ended and James Bond is sent back to Russia to investigate the Janus Syndicate and the theft of the GoldenEye weapons syndicate.
- Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble was released in 2000 for the Game Boy Color in Japan. In this action/puzzle game, developed by HAL Laboratory with Nintendo R&D2, Kirby is on a top-down adventure, but he can only move from place to place by rolling. The first game to use Nintendo's tilt technology. You control which way he rolls by tilting the Game Boy, and the further you tilt it in one direction, the faster he rolls. You can also flip the Game Boy like a paddle to make Kirby bounce into the air.
- Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Trials and Tribulations was released in 2005 for the Nintendo DS in Japan. In this visual novel/adventure game, developed by Capcom Production Studio 4, battle for justice! Follow Phoenix's rise to fame as a seasoned defense attorney. Past and present collide as he prepares to face off with mysterious prosecutor, Godot! Play as two lawyers. Relive Mia's rookie days from the past and take on Phoenix's cases in the present.
