I know just what site should be fine though. 

Randnet Disk   JP release: 23rd February 2000 PAL release: N/A JP release: N/A Developer: Nintendo Publisher: Nintendo N64 Magazine Score: N/A The Randnet Disk for the 64DD isn’t really a game, but I thought it was interesting enough to talk about. It’s a software disk that is essentially a web browser and email client. As the Randnet service is down, there isn’t a lot that can be done, but I was able to mess around a little with the menu, along with the help pages which use the browser. While you could use the N64 mouse and the N64 keyboard (which was sold separately alongside this disk), a good deal of effort was put into allowing text input on a controller. The stick is used to narrow your selection to a couple of letters, while you can use the A button and C-buttons to pick one of those letters, or a shortcut for something else (such as www. or .com). It’s a surprisingly nice way to input text, and it’s a shame this wasn’t used in other N64 games. The browser is basic, but most were at the time anyway. From the help pages, it does its job just fine. There were some big plans for this, such as online play, watching others play games, and a music streaming service, but as the 64DD was short-lived, so was this. I also think it shows how botched together the 64DD ended up being, that this wasn’t released alongside the system itself. ? Remake or remaster? A group called Randnet+ is working on getting Randnet to work, allowing for the sharing of items from Mario Artist, and letting the browser work. They’re also recreating some of the pages the Randnet Disk directly linked to, so we’ll be able to see what it actually did (it probably won’t be able to load most modern websites). Official ways to get the game. There’s no official way to get Randnet Disk.

Reading people's impressions of the update, that does seem to the case. I suppose it could be worth it depending on what games eventually come to the service. If it allows a person to play all their digital games then that would be great but if it's tied to what's only available on PS+ then it becomes a bit limited. I've still no interest in it be it's certainly a cool update.

There really is no need to remake this into live action. Whilst Toothless looks great the human characters just aren’t going to cut it and probably end up being one dimensional with no fun of the originals. 

I really have no idea why they make this.
