[h=1]On this day (February 14) in Nintendo history...[/h]

  • Ridge Racer 64 was released in 2000 for the Nintendo 64 in North America. In this racing game, developed by Nintendo Software Technology, the block busting racing franchise hits Nintendo 64, with lightning-speed visuals and a breathtaking four-player mode. RR64 sends more than 20 different cars racing over eight wide-open tracks, including all the tracks from the original Ridge Racer and Ridge Racer Revolution, plus three N64 exclusives.
  • Final Fantasy Tactics Advance was released in 2003 for the Game Boy Advance in Japan. In this tactical role-playing game, developed by Square Enix, our story begins soon after a young boy named Marche moves to the country town of St. Ivalice. Marche's family has had a difficult past, and all he can do to adjust to the newfound country life is to depend on his new friends: Mewt, a quiet and timid boy who often gets picked on; and Ritz, a stellar student whose strong-willed nature has made her unpopular at school.
  • Classic NES Series: Donkey Kong (known in PAL territories as NES Classics: Donkey Kong) was released in 2004 for the Game Boy Advance in Japan. In this platform game remake of the Nintendo Entertainment System's Donkey Kong, developed by Nintendo, retro is cool, so embrace Donkey Kong as much as is monkeyly possible.Take charge of the now famous Mario in an attempt to save your sweetheart from the towering ape. Use the baddie-bashing hammer to aide your quest, but do not rely on this tool alone.
  • Classic NES Series: Excitebike (known in PAL territories as NES Classics: Excitebike) was released in 2004 for the Game Boy Advance in Japan. In this racing game remake of the Nintendo Entertainment System's Excitebike, developed by Nintendo, we're so excited! While lesser practitioners of the motorcycle videogame genre depict the action rushing towards the player in a quasi-realistic fashion, Excitebike takes a strikingly original side-on view and marries it to five increasingly demanding tracks to master.
  • Classic NES Series: Ice Climber (known in PAL territories as NES Classics: Ice Climber) was released in 2004 for the Game Boy Advance in Japan. In this platform game remake of the Nintendo Entertainment System's Ice Climber, developed by Nintendo, take control of a parka-donned ice climber in this classic 1985 title, battling to climb multiple icy mountains of peril. Avoid or attack enemies who are determined to stop you in your tracks, while bagging the various point-giving collectables and traversing the perilous precipice.
  • Classic NES Series: Super Mario Bros. (known in PAL territories as NES Classics: Super Mario Bros.) was released in 2004 for the Game Boy Advance in Japan. In this platform game remake of the Nintendo Entertainment System's Super Mario Bros., developed by Nintendo, Donkey Kong made the monkey famous, and Super Mario Bros. did the exact same thing for the handlebar moustached Italian plumber, who came from the brain of one of the most imaginative Japanese game designers ever, Shigeru Miyamoto.
  • Classic NES Series: The Legend of Zelda (known in PAL territories as NES Classics: The Legend of Zelda) was released in 2004 for the Game Boy Advance in Japan. In this action-adventure game remake of the Nintendo Entertainment System's The Legend of Zelda, developed by Nintendo, discover where it all began.
  • Star Fox: Assault was released in 2005 for the Nintendo GameCube in North America. In this rail shooter/third-person shooter, developed by Namco, step into the guise of furry flyboy Fox McCloud as he returns to take on his deadliest enemy; wingmen Slippy Toad, Peppy Hare and Falco Lombardi are covering your back, as you take on hordes of intergalactic hostiles on land and in air. Hop into Arwings for aerial skirmishes or Landmasters for ground-based confrontations, or simply run around on foot dispensing laser justice
