It's been a busy month, but I've managed to get some new game information up. I have also made a start on posting the cameos that appear in N64 games.

Over on the forums we have started a discussion on Nintendo mysteries. Have a look and see if you know of any others that haven't already been uncovered.

31st August 2009

I have started working my way through the mountain of Game Boy cameos. There's plenty more to come tomorrow, so check back for more updates.

Update: All Game Boy cameos have now been uploaded. There are some new discoveries in For the Frog the Bell Tolls, Game Boy Camera, Kirby's Dream Land 2 and Pokémon Gold/Silver.

Update II: Also added in the cameos for Virtual Boy games Galactic Pinball and VB Wario Land.

23rd August 2009

All Super Famicom / SNES cameos have now been uploaded to the site again, including some all-new cameos in Kirby's Super Star (updated with Kirby Super Star Ultra information), Stunt Race FX and Super Mario RPG.

The Great Cameo Update is going very well indeed. As well as reinstating cameos that were on the site before, we are adding cameos that were missed the first time round. Even more are pouring in (including today's updates to Kirby's Adventure and Star Tropics).

If you want to help with cameos, I am posting the update schedule on the cameos forum. So far you can see the NES/Arcade/G&W, GB/VB, SNES and N64 schedules. If you know of any missing from those lists, please contact NinDB so we can get them uploaded!

19th August 2009

I have started adding the cameos back in, as well as adding a few new discoveries that have been sent in. I am working system-by-system, and so far, all cameos for arcade, Game & Watch and NES have been added. If you think any cameos are missing, or you want to find out what cameos will be added soon and help out, check out the cameos forum.

As one of NinDB's most popular features, it couldn't stay down for long: Check out the updated Kazumi Totaka's Song Guide.

9th August 2009

After over a year of no updates Nintendo Database returns as NinDB.

You may have already heard from other sites, but IGN-Gamespy are closing their free hosting services this month. While this site has been inactive for over a year, I have in fact been rebuilding the site. The announcement simply gave me a deadline. I'd like to extend my thanks to the sites that offered me hosting following the announcement, especially to Megabyte of Kontek.net who has provided the site with its new home.

You'll notice the navigation has been stripped down to three search options. The search by system option is still available, but I have made a lot of changes to search by series (formerly the franchise pages). Divided into series on the left and individual games on the right, you can see all of the franchises Nintendo has to date. When you check out a gamepage, the series search bar across the top gives you a link back to that series, as well as links to the previous and next games in that series. This is a neat new feature that lets you browse through a series' history easily.

As a result of the deadline, I have had to make some sacrifices. Cameos and features have had to be taken down short term, as there have simply been too many new cameos in the last couple of years. When they return, they will appear connected to the series they represent rather than the games they appear in.

Other than that, the site has been largely brought up to date with the latest game releases worldwide, including WiiWare and DSi Ware, and backdated to include the entire Game & Watch catalogue.

There have been a lot of changes. I hope you enjoy browsing the new NinDB, and keep coming back for the return of the cameos, and the updates still to come.
