What can really be said about Super Mario Bros 3 for the Nintendo Entertainment System that hasn’t been said already? This was Nintendo’s unofficial swan song of Mario games for the NES. A game that really showed that the system still had “oomph”. More powerful systems such as the Sega Genesis and NEC TurboGrafx-16 were […]

New Game: Flappy Bird Ported to the Nintendo Game Boy Advance
January 11th, 2015 Carl Williams Flappy Bird is one of those games that simply will not go away, no matter how hard gamers wish it would. If there is a platform that can run it, someone will probably port this one button game to it. We have seen ports to the Atari 2600 (at least two), Vectrex, Colecovision and even […]

Revenge of the License: A Sound of Thunder
November 2nd, 2014 Michael Crisman Video games based on film licenses are nothing more than excuses for some two-bit studio to make an enormous influx of money without resorting to looting armored cars or Nigerian prince email scams, right? Wanton cash grabs by game studios leading to sub-par software and the occasional bankrupting of an entire industry have been with […]

Five Side Scrolling Game Boy Advance Games You Shouldn’t Miss This Holiday Season
November 1st, 2014 Carl Williams Sure, the Game Boy Advance is an older portable and can be had for quite a cheap price now so that makes it the perfect gift for a cash strapped family that have gamers in the house wanting to game on the go.

New Game: Gekido the Playstation Classic Coming to Modern Touch Devices
October 22nd, 2014 Carl Williams Gekido: Urban Fighters was a brawler from way back in the 32-Bit era (it hit the Playstation in 2000). Due to when it was released, Gekido didn’t exactly enjoy stellar sales. The original Gekido was a Streets of Rage style brawler where you took on multiple enemies in a 3D environment (think Fighting Force but […]

Hardware Hack: Super Nintendo/Super Famicom Themed Game Boy Advance Portables
July 6th, 2014 Carl Williams The Game Boy Advance, no matter if you are a fan of Nintendo or not, is obviously a seminal portable platform. Some would argue the GBA is the last “retro” portable to be released, probably thanks in large part to the library that was released for this Nintendo hand held. Thanks to Rose Colored Gaming […]

July 2nd, 2014 Nick Abrams So, as it turns out, Nintendo did announce the Virtual Console for the Wii U during their Nintendo Direct presentation today. NES, SNES, and even GBA titles were discussed.
